Itunes 7.5 won't install

Having run the upgrade to 7.5 I tried to start itunes and was greeted by the "Setup assistant". Strange, since I've been running itunes for a year. Even stranger was that it just froze. The "next" button doesn't work. Neither does "Cancel". Nor could I shut the window. Had to kill it in "task manager".
Tried uninstalling. Redownloaded the installer and installed again. Same problem.
Uninstalled again. Uninstalled all other Apple apps, including "Quicktime". Went through the user directories and manually deleted all the config files and directories that the uninstall didn't get. Ran a registry cleaner to remove any invalid entries and associations. Rebooted. Reinstalled.
Same problem. I note that at least one other user has reported this and received no answer.
How can I get itunes to work again?

I am having a similar problem, my iTunes won't register my iPod. I can't get past the registration screen to download any music. Any ideas? Help PLEASE!

  • ITunes 8.1 won't install on Vista after uninstall

    So I was trying to update my itunes and kept getting errors. I went on to uninstall it and reinstall which normally works. But this time around, I got some error messages and it won't install.
    When it is installing, I get this message:
    "An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Schemas\iCal.syncshema\Contents\Resources\da.lproj"
    I select retry in the window and it still doesn't work so I press cancel. Then it continues and terminates the install with this message:
    "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
    It then proceeded to install quicktime with no problems so I'm quite puzzled on what I can do here. I just want to listen to music and my podcasts! If anyone can help me on this it would be greatly appreciated. I've looked through the forum and support things so I need some more guidance.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Bump, anyone?

    please help!

    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we need to hunt down a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for *at least version 3.0* of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any BonJour and iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 9.2 again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Please help! Itunes 10.1 WON'T INSTALL

    I bought the iTouch 4G recently, tried to upgrade my iTunes to the newer version but kept getting a message that said "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\." So I used the Fix It package, and tried to install it again but I kept getting the same message. Now, I'm using the Admin account on my computer and it still won't install but now when I use the Fix It package, it says "The specified path '%APPDATA&\' is unavailable." Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Sorry, I'm posting this again, but I really want to use my iTouch.

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

  • Help! itunes 7.5 won't install!

    I have a new ipod nano 8GB and i've downloaded itunes 7.5 many times, but nothing has happened. It won't install. I already have itunes 7.1.1.5, but my ipod nano requires 7.5. Why won't it install!

    I am having a similar problem, my iTunes won't register my iPod. I can't get past the registration screen to download any music. Any ideas? Help PLEASE!

  • I tried to upgrade iTunes, now it won't install on my computer.

    I was prompted to upgrade my itunes to the newest version. I downloaded the new version. It downloaded completely but when it came to setup I got a window saying, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below. I have no idea what this is or how to get to it. When I press cancel another window pops up saying the older version of itunes cannot be removed contact technical support group. There is no version of itunes located on my computer anywhere. What do i do to get my itunes back?

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi'
    With that one, let's try the following procedure.
    First, head into your "Uninstall a program" control panel 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:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (7) Restart your computer.
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

    Yes.  Please give us something to go on other than a complete reinstall of Windows 7 (Microsoft's solution to the issue behind this cryptic error). 
    At least acknowledge that the issue lies with Microsoft and an error in upgrading/installing the Visual C++ 2005/2008/200x Service Pack.

  • ITunes 7.7 won't install

    Seems I need to uninstall iTunes 7.6.2 and install 7.7. Will I lose all my purchased content if I do this?

    Just got off the phone with AppleCare, and they solved the problem for me. They had me uninstall iTunes by dragging the app to the trash, and then dragging the iTunes receipts to the trash as well (Library>receipts>iTunes.pkg). Then I downloaded and installed iTunes 7.7 with no problems. All my purchased content was untouched. Now...good luck accessing the iTunes Store to tether you new iPhone 3G!

  • ITunes 7.0 won't install on my computer

    I downloaded the new iTunes and it started to install but I got an error message reporting a conflict with iPod driver on my computer.
    After trying numerous times to re-download and intall and getting the same message, I uninstalled all iPod drivers, all instances of Quicktime and all instances of iTunes and restarted.
    I also used a registry cleaner tool and restarted again.
    Even with no iPod drivers, Quick time or iTunes installed, iTunes 7 installer still reports a conflict with an iPod driver on my system that I cannot locate or remove.
    I have since re-installed the previous version of iTunes and it works fine. I have a 60GB video iPod.

  • Itunes downloads but won't install at all

    Hello, I had installed itunes in my PC and everything was OK.
    Today I bought a new ipod nano, and when I connected it to the PC, itunes told me that it couldn't recognize the device (I cannot remember the exact words), although Windows did recognize it.
    I searched in Apple support, and they said I needed to uninstall and reinstall itunes.
    Well, I uninstalled all the Apple software (itunes, quicktime, apple mobile device support, bonjour, etc.). I have verified with the Windows Install Clean-Up Utility and nothing is left.
    I downloaded the last itunes version from Apple, but whenever I execute the installation file, absolutely nothing happens. Windows just confirms if I want to execute the file, and after that, nothing. I have downloaded the installer several times, from different places but still the same. I have uninstalled, re-installed the Windows Installer, and still the same. I have cleaned all the Temp folders but it won't make any difference.
    So, I tried to install it as Administrator, re-started and executed the installer...this time, although it does not install either, at least it throws out some kind of log file, which I am posting below.
    If anyone has any idea, please help me, I've been trying to solve this ridiculous problem for many hours now.
    Thank you very much in advance for any help you could provide me.
    Best regards,
    Ricardo

  • Itunes 10.4 won't install on 10.6.8 via software update

    everything is in the titel, won't update via software update and regular download on the apple website

    From the Apple website; requirements for iTunes 20.4:
    Mac OS X version 10.5 or later. See image below.
    So it WILL run on 10.5, 10.6, and Lion which is 10.7.
    That is why is shows up under "software update" on 10.6 computers.
    The problem is with the installer on some computers.
    I went to an Apple Store and a Genius had to us the "root" administrator account to install iTunes 10.4. It is a hidden administrator account.
    So go to an Apple store or call Apple Care if you are still under warranty.

  • ITunes 10.5 Won't Install Win7 64-bit; Error 2324

    Install starts, gets to the end, and then backs out.  Tried uninstalling, now I have a broken iTunes that won't re-install.

    I had a similar problem and after much trial and error, I found a process that worked for me.  I hope this works for you guys and best of luck!!
    Have Patience!!!!!!!
    Unplug all Apple Devices from your USB ports or any other ports
    Restart your computer
    Open up Control Panel> Programs > Uninstall Programs
    Click the “Publisher” to list the programs by publisher
    Uninstall iTunes and Restart the computer
    Repeat Steps 4-5 and uninstall all Apple Inc. programs (NOTE: If a program does not successfully uninstall, attempt to Repair it first)
    Upon uninstalling all programs by Apple Inc. restart your computer
    Delete all these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuickTime
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuickTimeVR
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    Restart the computer
    Remove all Apple Inc. entries from your registry (For this step I would recommend using CCleaner or aprogram like it if you are not familiar with the RegEdit command… I personallyused CCleaner which can be downloaded for free from www.download.com)
    Once you have removed all registry entries from Apple Inc. restart your computer.
    Do one more check to ensure that all registry errors and Apple Inc. entries are removed (which include iTunes, Bonjour, QuickTime, etc)
    Do another quick check to make sure all Apple Inc. programs are uninstalled from the control panel, all the folders are deleted from Step 9 and the registry is clean.
    One more restart and then download iTunes and the installation should go through flawlessly
    I hope this works for you guys!! I just downloaded iTunes 10.5 and updated my phone to iOS 5.
