ITunes will not install - have tried EVERYTHING - please help

I recently (yesterday) bought an iPod and yesterday installed the iPod and iTunes software on my computer, with absolutely no problems. Then today, when I tried to get onto the Music Store, I could not access it. (error -3212 was the number, I think...it's been a very long night). After searching a number of forums, I attempted to download the newer versions of iTunes and Quicktime; at the end of this attempted installation, I got the Microsoft message that iTunes "has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."
Now, several hours later, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software (with my antivirus software disabled), gone through two system restores (have gone back two days), done the Windows Installer cleanup thing, everything that I have read to do. I went into msconfig and the Quicktime doesn't even show up there. No luck, no luck at all...
My iPod is of absolutely no use to me without the iTunes. I have installed iTunes on a number of computers and have never encountered this problem. Please help!!
Sincerely,
LLM

Hello
I just bought an Ipod as what tryingto get itunes to load for 5 hours last Friday night and another 4 hours on Saturday til my head exploaded
I then installed an older version of itunes and it worked but the new version didn't
In the end I re-installed XP home as a "repair" not clean install so that I wouldn't loose any work on my PC and within 40 minutes or so whatever was missing from my PC was installed and itunes 6 went on with no problem
My advise is don't go round the houses like I did, just "repair" your XP installation and it's done
Well, it did for me at least
Hope this helps

IPOD not being seen in ITunes...I have tried everything - please help!!

Okay, so I have tried everything listed on Apple's website to get my IPOD to be recognized in ITUNES. When I plug my IPOD into the USB port, the "do not disconnect" screen pops up. Nothing happens in ITUNES. Windows Vista pops up and says "Do you want me to scan and fix the IPOD F: drive?" Either selection doesn't do anything. I have tried the 5 R's from apple. I have tried to download every update available etc. I have tried to even go in and update the driver. However Vista is telling me that I have the most up to date version of everything. When my IPOD isn't connected to the PC, everything seems normal - except for the fact that there is no music or anything on it. But all menus are available and accessbile. Can anyone suggest what to do here? I am at a loss. Please help!! Thanks.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. If I connect my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, the 'Do not disconnect' sign appears, the battery does not charge, and my iPod doesn't appear either in iTunes or on my desktop. Since it doesn't appear in either of these places, I have to ignore the 'do not disconnect' sign and disconnect anyway. If I then reset my iPod, quite iTunes and reconnect iPod to laptop, everything's fine - iTunes opens, and recognizes the iPod. I guess this isn't the end of the world, since I can simply avoid ever connecting my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, but is this normal?

Iphoto not opening, have tried everything, please help!

My iPhoto is not functioning at all, it tells me to restart my computer and when I do that it says to reopen while pushing Option and Command key, and even still after trying the four options that it presents, my iPhoto is still not opening, thoughts??

DId you try the suggestions in the message?
and if i did that already is there a way to copy photos out of there onto an external hard drive?
Back up now.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Becuase what if the free trial of Iphoto Library Manager deletes because i didnt pay for it?
Paranoid much? Read this forum, that's happened to nobody, ever.
This is for my employers computer and I would hate to be the one thats responsible for 6000 of her pictures gone
Prehaps you should review your job description.

i locked my Ipod 1st generation in zombie farm went to the toilet came back tried to unlock it but i cant screen was blank i have tried everything please help

If you have tried everything, then by definition, there is nothing else to try.
Perhaps if you explained what you tried someone can help.
If you have actually tried everything, then there is nothing anyone can do to help.
Did you try reset?

B210 printer no longer scans or copies I have tried everything please help!

I do not copy or scan very often but today I tried to scan important documents and I no longer have the scanning or copying capability. I can print perfectly from the computer. I have tried everything (I believe) including reinstalling the software. Can anyone please help. I have important documents that needed to go out tonight. Time is money. Thanks in advance.

Hi msiayoyo,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are not able to scan or copy with your HP Photosmart B210a, you can print with no problems. Are you getting any error messages on the front panel when you attempt the copy or scan?
I know you have completed some troubleshooting already but I would like you to continue here: A 'Scanner Failure' Message Displays on the All-in-One Control Panel and You Cannot Scan, Copy, or F...
A few tips:
1. Try another wall outlet then the one you normally use, for testing purposes.
2. Make sure you have no power bars or surge protectors as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time, plug the printer directly into the outlet.
3. Try to make a copy from the front panel, what happens?
If you are still not able to make a copy after ALL the troubleshooting has been done, it is more than likely the printer hardware. I would then suggest calling our technical support at 800-474-6836.

Ok. Bentley. I have been surfing similiar threads on this
forum regarding issues with the flash player.
Here is my experience with trying to add flash player to my
browser.
When I was browsing the web, websites that allowed video such
as ABC.com would give me this message.
"In order to view this video you must have Macromedia Flash
Player." This text was a link to the adobe download area for the
Flash Player. So I would follow the link to the Adobe site. Then
when I would accept the user terms and click on the Install Now
button on the page. The page would just refresh and not install
anything.
So I searched the web for a different site to download the
player. I was able to find one and downloaded the player and
installed it. I restarted my PC and went back to ABC.com and it
gave me the same message i mentioned before. So I came on these
forums and I followed every possible solution mentioned and still
no luck.
I have downloaded the uninstaller. Uninstalled and
reinstalled. Nothing
I checked my registry and my registry matches exactly what
the screen shot shows for Windows XP Pro
Active X controls are fine.
When I went to the test page at adobe.com it read that I have
Version 9,0,45,0 Installed Successfully but, still can not get any
video.
Please help! Thanks.

vmontes16 ,
First of all, ABC.com isn't the best test site. They've
switched from standard Flash Player to a customized player created
by Move Networks (which, conincidentally is a division of
Disney...)
This is a Flash Player detection issue usually caused by
missing or locked registry keys..
Go follow the steps Darren wrote about in this thread:

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid =1260151&enterthread=y>
Those usually resolve it.. In the next few weeks we expect to
have better tools available for diagnosing and resolving these
issues. In the meantime thanks for sticking with us.

Hello there, ShipTheWhouffle.
The following Knowledge Base article has some pointers on making sure you get the podcast onto your iPod shuffle:
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1831
Specifically:
Adding Audiobooks and Podcasts to iPod shuffle
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using the Podcasts tab in iTunes.
iPod shuffle (3rd generation)
Playing Audiobooks and Podcasts on iPod shuffle
When using iPod shuffle (1st and 2nd generation), if iPod shuffle is set to shuffle songs it will play all the audio files on iPod shuffle except audiobooks and podcasts1. To play an audiobook or podcast, set the switch on iPod shuffle to play in order .
When using iPod shuffle (3rd generation), podcasts and audiobooks will not be played when content is playedfrom All Songs. If content is played from a playlist synced from iTunes, audiobooks and podcasts will only be played if the iPod's switch is set to play in order . In addition to playlists synced from iTunes, iPod shuffle (3rd generation) will create a special playlist for each audiobook synced and one for podcasts. When accessing these special playlists, audiobook and podcast content will play whether the iPod is set to play in order or shuffle songs . Podcast are sorted by alphabetical order and then by episode date.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I use the apostropy key and up pops. Quick find (links only) I have tried everything, please help!!!

I have tried everything, nothing seems to work, I just updated to the most recent version hopping that the developers had attended to this issue. I have tried the about:config and made a true\false to shut off all quick search functionality but it doesn't work. Nothing seems to get the (') key to stop bringing up the search box....
It does it sporadically, how can I shut off ALL hot key\combination key quick launches?

TS4062 My Ipod classic isn't recognised by Itunes and it won't sync. I have tried everything-please help!

I have the latest version of Itunes and I've tried reinstalling it but it made no difference. I recently got a new laptop (a toshiba, windows 8) and downloaded itunes onto it and logged in because I have the same itunes account on other laptops. Syncing is not a problem on the other laptops.
When I plug my ipod into this one, it just says its connected, thats all. Furthermore, I don't have the option to sync using the Devices tab in File because it isn't highlighted when I plug it in.
I have tried other things that have been suggested for problems like these, but nothing seems to be working. I'm wondering if its just because my ipod isn't registered or something. If so, does anyone know how to do that?
Thank you so much in advance for reading this. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

HT1695 my iphone cannot connect to any wifi. I have tried everything, please help!

My phone has suddenly stopped connecting to any WiFi. does anyone have any tips I can try?
I've tried everything like switching it off and on, and switching off wifi and back on again, re-setting everything. HELP!

iTunes will also NOT recognize my iPod Touch.. I've reinstalled iTunes several times on all THREE of my computers to the same result.. I'm going insane.. The newest iTunes has made it a real hassle!! Before I updated my iTunes both connected just FINE!! Now neither my computers (3 of them) or iTunes will recognize the iphone4, or the iPod Touch. The threads that people are posting to go back to the SAME 6 troubleshooting steps aren't really helping. ANYONE else had the same problem but was able to resolve?? A little desperate here!! HELP!!

Windows 8 will not install via bootcamp. Please Help!

Hello everyone. So I have a mid 2012 MBP with an ssd and then the hdd in the optical dirve's place. Im trying to bootcamp windows on my hdd. Ive created the partition for it via bootcamp (200gb). And for my install im using the windows 8 system builder disc i bought, in the super drive that came out of my mbp. Now the error im getting is that windows "cannot create new partition or locate current one". Ive already formatted to NTFS. I even tried formatting the enitre hdd via cmd but sitll get the error no matter what. I read somewhere that its because I have a usb plugged in. The issue is I have to since I no longer have the optical drive installed. Does anyone know how to get around this error or is my only option to reinstall my optical drive and install windows and then take it back out? I hope not because there is no way i will be doing that. Please help me. Thank You.

1) Try connecting to a different USB port
2) Try installing via USB flash drive. After you're finished creating the image, make sure to unplug your superdrive from the USB port and the only connected USB device is the flash drive. See below for instructions:
