HT1926 Im having troubles installing itunes on my windows 8 laptop, help?

I'll click the download button and without even asking me to run anything it just says "thanks for downloading" but I haven't even done anything.?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Hello i am having trouble installing itunes 10.5 on my laptop i have windows vista. it says error 7 windows error 998. i now have no itunes. i have tried to uninstall itunes but it still wont work and keep coming up with that message. please help!

    hello
    i am having major trouble installing itunes. i had itunes working fine and i went to update it as it told me there was an update which i thought i did. i went on my laptop the next day and it said "itunes was not installed correctly error 7 windows error 998"
    i read a few articles on here but i am having no joy. i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and that did not work. i also unistalled some other apple things cant remember the names sorry!
    i am not a whiz on a computer so really need some help please!!

    Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
    Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
    Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
    I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
    itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
    A search of these forums will show some threads.
    I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
    I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
    Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
    Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

  • I am having trouble installing iTunes

    I am having trouble installing iTunes, getting the error stating that apple application support was not found. I have uninstalled and re-installed several time. I followed the directions giving on installation problems in the support area. Help please.

    Report the problem to Apple using Apple Support -- if it is 11.3  there is a problem with podcasts - and last time I checked on=line support page was not found.

  • Why am i having trouble updating itunes  on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

    Why am I having trouble updating itunes on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

    Thanks for the update.
    nothing is getting installed, copied or otherwise loaded onto my computer....first the program starts to load, then it asks for my serial number, then it goes out and seems to check the serial number then it says it can't be installed then it erases everything it just spent 10 minutes loading.
    In view of the above and your prior descriptions, have you tried alternative installation files?
    If you want to give a look to that approach, please download and install the tryout files for Premiere Elements 9 from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number into them during installation.
    With this route, you need to carefully carry out the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied message.

    Back to my questions from post 3
    Are you getting any Shared Technologies error message any where in the installation process that is failing?
    If you follow the following path, do you find an OOBE Folder?
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files Folder
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the OOBE Folder which you rename from OOBE to OLDOOBE to disable it.
    When you are forced into a roll back for whatever installation has taken place, do you ever see a message about Shared Technologies?
    And, whether or not the program installs to any extent, does your computer have the OOBE Folder? If so, then please rename it to disable it before
    you try for another 9 install.
    Looking forward to your results.
    ATR
    Add On....Please remind me....since you purchased Premiere Elements 9, have you ever installed and used it successfully on any computer?

    having trouble installing ProIX on new Windows 8 machine after XP crash.  Get almost ll of the way through and get an error box ... contact system support.  Only way out is to abort and then it un-installs.  Wondering if a licensing max issue since we didn't get an opportunity to uninstall off of crashed machine?

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
    Regards,

  • I cant install Itunes on my windows 8 laptop. (unspecified errors encountered)

    I have tried to install Itunes and Icloud on my windows 8 laptop. I have hunted all through the laptop and see no sign that any apple product has ever been on this laptop, yet iget errors during the install process that causes the installer to abort the install and go right to finish. I have tried to install Itunes repeatedly and it always fails at the same point. Icloud also fails to install. I get a message that says errors have been encountered, but no indication of what those errors are. can anyone suggest a fix for this? or tell me what it is I am doing wrong?

  • Having trouble running Dreamweaver on new Windows 8 laptop.  No trouble running it on Windows 7.

    Having trouble running Dreamweaver on new Windows 8 laptop.  No trouble running it on Windows 7.

    Thanks for your reply.
    When I tried downloading Dreamweaver CS6 onto my laptop, it took over 2 hrs to download, then it compressed it into a Zip file which I was never able to open.
    Not sure why I am having so much trouble. We’ve had no issue loading onto our Windows 7 lab, however, we are not successful using the download on my work laptop. 
    We are going to try again, however, it this doesn’t work, perhaps I should try the trial download – and take it from there?
    Thank you in advance.

    I had the same issue which is now solved. For your information, the following procedure was successful:
    Check permissions within the Installer folder. To do this, follow these steps.
    1. Click on Start and in the Start Search bar > type in > c: /windows/installer.
    2. Right click on c: /windows/installer at the top under programs and click properties.
    3. Click on the security tab > Verify if System and Administrator account has Full access permissions.
    Note : I ran into problem with locating the C:\windows\installer directory. For some reason Windows Explorer wouldn't show it even though I don't have it hidden. I ended up using the ExplorerXP application to locate the directory. ExplorerXP is available at http://www.explorerxp.com/

    Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.'  Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times.  Now what?

    I figured it out.  A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help.  So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean.  And it worked.  I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked!  And I lost nothing from my account.
    Maybe this info will help others.
