Help - iTunes V4.8 'Program Error' at end of install.

Please can anyone help with this CD installation failure of itunes only (without ipod connected):
The installation of quicktime seems ok then iTunes, but on completion a window opens stating 'Program error, iTunes will close.. an error log was created'. No associated error number is displayed and I can't find the error log. At the same time the folder System32 opens. The Installation wizard says everything worked ok but if I then run iTunes the same 'program error..' window appears.
Thanks in advance.

hi BB!
hmmmm. that's an unusual sort of error message.
let's first try taking any CD-drive complications out of the loop. download and save to your hard drive a fresh copy of the itunes installer from the apple website. (we'll run the install from there rather than on-line.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
try switching off all background applications prior to the install too (if possible, disconnect from the internet first):

do you still get the same error then?
keep us posted.

  • Please HELP, "iTunes has stopped working" error after connecting iPod video

    People please help me out!  I have a Razer Blade gaming laptop with Windows 8 64bit.
    I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and an iPod video (80GB).  I had some weeks from not connecting the iPod to my computer, but this morning that I did so I can upload some new music to it, iTunes just crash, I get the "iTunes has stopped working" error message when I connect the iPod video.  I do not have this problem with either the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2, when I connect these, iTunes works fine, once I connect the iPod, then all goes down
    Procedures that I already tried and that were unsuccessful to solve the problem:
    Uninstall Quicktime
    Uninstall iTunes and reinstall
    Reset the iPod (several times)
    Delete TEMP files on computer
    Restart the computer (several times)
    Use a different cable and a different USB port
    The iPod is working fine, if I plug it to my car stereo or if I use it with headphones it works great, no problems nor errors.  My computer also identify the iPod as a hard disk, no error messages from Windows, it is just the freakin' iTunes that freezes everytime that I plug the iPod
    PLEASE HELP ME OUT, I've searched forums on this particular issue but with no luck.
    Thanks very much!

    It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
    Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
    If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:
    [iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

    Hi there,
    Welcome to Adobe Community.
    When you run the Captivate_6_x64_LS12.exe it actually extracts the installation files and put them on your desktop by default. There should be a folder on your desktop named Adobe Captivate 6. Inside that folder you should have a folder named payloads. Go inside the payloads folder and you should see certain Microsoft VC folders. You need to go inside every Microsoft VC folder and run the .exe file. Once you are done with installing all the Microsoft VC files then launch the setup.exe inside the Adobe Captivate 6 folder on your desktop.
    See the screenshots below:
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks!

  • Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

    Hello out there,
    please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
    I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
    I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
    Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
    1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
    2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
    3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
    4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
    5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
    6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
    It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
    Please, does anybody know what to do?
    Any hints and help are much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot
    and best regards

    I'm attempting to reinstall ITunes because of a runtime error (R6034) when I start it. At end of install it says 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.  I verified that I have admin privileges.  Can anyone help?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Program Error after recent itunes update - please help

    I recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Now it won't open. I have been through the revcommended options and still no joy.
    The Program Error states "iTunes.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created."
    I have removed the programs and reinstalled them as recommended and Still nothing! (I think ) I subsequently lost also my Pro version of Quick Time which I paid for.
    I cant up date my iPod.
    Please can you help me out?
    It was working fine before upgrade...

    is your QuickTime currently launching? if so, try retrieving your Pro Key using the information from the following document:

  • Upgrading / Installing iTunes 7.1 - Detailed Error Report, please help.

    Hi,
    I am trying to upgrade my iTunes to 7.1 Previously, my iTunes was working perfectly fine. I decided to give it a try and upgrade to 7.1 and to my horror, it does not work anymore.
    I am running iTunes on Windows XP.
    First of all, the installation for 7.1 has NOT worked. It was giving me an error. So, instead, I just assumed that the installation had not gone through, and my previous version was still installed and would function.
    Incorrect. I am now getting the error:
    "This action is only valid for products currently installed."
    This must mean that the upgrade installation that started (but did not finish) must have wiped out the previous installation. Darn. I go back to run the iTunes 7.1 installation to see if it works this time...
    Here is where the "big" error is that I can not figure out. The installation bar almost finishes, and runs some of the installation functions (such as copying files, etc.) when it gives me this error:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK and try again, or, enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below"
    It then gives me a "browse" function so I can find the correct path to iTunes.msi - my only problem is that I don't know where it is, and after a shallow and basic search through the iTunes program files, I gave up.
    Attached is a screen shot:
    http://farm1.static.flickr.com/159/424601522_fac28e3a9d.jpg?v=0
    I have read that it may also be a problem with Quicktime. So, I installed my version of Quicktime, then tried to run the installation package again.
    Incorrect again. Still giving me the same error message.
    I then went to Control Panel, Remove programs, and tried to manually remove iTunes. During the uninstallation, it gives me the same error message - missing the iTunes.msi file.
    This has lead me to desperate measures and post here on the support forums. I hope that someone will be able to help me.
    Thanks ahead of time.

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK and try again, or, enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below"
    with that one, let's try the following procedure.
    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
