ITunes won't install - Win 7 64 bit

I am having similar problems with installations that others have posted. After a 3/30/10 update, ITunes no longer works, I cannot install version 9.1 (It locks the PC up during a "registering the (x) Server"
Owning an IPhone and an upcomming IPad, this is a big issue. Please help. I have already uninstalled everything 2 times per the support advice.

Similar problem here EXCEPT I think I had the issue BEFORE upgrading to 9.1.
I started iTunes on *Wednesday 31 Mar 2010* and it locked the PC completely (unfortunately I don't know what version but I have a feeling it was 9.0.3). Thinking it was an iTunes issue I power cycled the PC, uninstalled everything Apple including manually deleting files from all folders, temp folder, user profiles, registry etc. Downloaded and installed 64-Bit iTunes and it locked the PC at *'Registering the Automation Server'*. I have tried many different things e.g. disable anti-virus, spyware etc, but same issue.
I then installed ver 9.0 of iTunes. This installed without issue. However when I ran iTunes the application opened and after a second or two the whole PC locked.
At this point I am now uncertain whether it is an iTunes issue OR a Windows issue, and I'm really starting to think it is a combination of the two!

    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.

  • Itunes won't install. AMDS won't uninstall

    Itunes won't install. I've tried to uninstall itunes and all apple software so that I can install the latest version. But it won't let me uninstall apple Mobile Device Support. Can anybody help? How do I get iTunes back? Whenever I try to install the latest version it gets stuck just after checking the AMDS.

    There is no text error message. The install of itunes just freezes on the "Checking Space Requirements" bit (which is immediately after it checks AMDS.
    Hmmmm. Possibly a disk/file damage issue there, tom. If so, running a chkdsk over your C drive might help.
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • ITunes won't install after I click license agreement page

    iTunes won't install after I click license agreement page

    I had the same problem as many are having, I am running Win XP Pro and after installing the latest greatest version fresh no go, tried all the fixes mentiond around the net and no go all you get is the dam agree screen ... so I had enogh, I completly uninstalled the new version and then installed version 10 and it works fine so I think they droped the ball in the programing of the latest release thats my 2 cents. I am so glad i always keep older versions on hand because many times new versions are buggy or just do not work NOTE TO APPLE DO NOT FIX IT IF IT AINT BROKE comes to mind ... the older just work and the new junk fails don't they test the programs anymore? accross the dif supported platforms? whlth all these peole having the same problems I would say they botched the program code or installer.
    It says after the install there is a newer version great after waisting all this time I will not be updating till they claime and prove they have a big prob and fix it and then test it compleatly.
    Important my problem started on first installing Itunes ona newely set up XP comp so I had no settings or anything and did not care a full uninstall worked for me. Not sure with those that have tons of stuff allready in the iTunes system,
    Complete working version 10.0.0.68 works fine in win XP Pro ...

  • ITunes won't install. PLEASE. HELP. URGENT.

    iTunes won't install. My PC got reformatted. Now, I can't install iTunes. I've been trying to install it for like 3 months now, then it still won't. I've tried to remove it completely, following the guidelines Apple has given. AND ALMOST EVERYTHING.
    Then the other day, I was really really happy that I got it installed, I removed AVG Anti-virus from the PC and turned off ThreatFire. I thought that was the end of my problem, then yesterday, when I opened iTunes it won't work again! So I tried to re-install it, following every guideline. Still, it won't install! In the installing process, around "Registering iTunes automation server", I ALWAYS get the message "Some of its required files are missing. Please re-install."
    I REALLY DO NEED YOUR HELP.

    Describe what happens when you try to open iTunes - do you see anything? If there is an error message give it in full.
    If there is no error message open the task manager (ctrl alt del) and look on the processes tab, do you see iTunes.exe there and does it stay there.
    Try opening Quicktime - does that work normally, iTunes cannot work if QUicktime doesn't. If it doesn't work, describe what happens and give any error message.

  • ITunes won't install on my OS 10.3. Will Tiger 10.4 run it?

    My PowerMac G4 is running Panther 10.3.9. I have a 733 MHz processor. iTunes won't install nor can I view any videos. If I go to Youtube the system crashes. Some sites tell me I need a flashplayer upgrade, but it won't install. An Apple tech told me to upgrade to Leopard 10.5 and it would solve my problems. My understanding is that Leopard 10.5 needs 867MHz to run. If I upgrade to Tiger 10.4 will that solve any of my problems?

    Hello marwhi,
    First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion forums!
    Yes, OS 10.3.9 cannot run the latest iTunes 9. You will need at least Mac OS 10.4.11 and above to run it. Your problem with YouTube may just be with your browser if you are using Safari. For now you might want to try Camino 1.6.9 and see if you have any better luck. Camino 1.6.9 tends to be a slightly more updated version of browser than the last version of Safari that runs on 10.3.9 Panther. If you do upgrade to Tiger 10.4.11 though you would be able to use a more updated version of Safari which will "play" nicer with sites such as YouTube and Google etc.
    Hardware and software system requirements for iTunes 9 can be found at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    And here are the "Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger System Requirements". You will need to purchase a "full retail" version of Tiger 10.4 install discs from a third party reseller such as on ebay etc. and the discs tend to sell for a premium these days. General idea of price can be seen by going to ebay and searching for "full retail 10.4 Tiger install" and then clicking on the "Completed Auctions" link in the left column. This should give your a good idea of what they tend to sell for on the resale market when available. Do not purchase machine specific or "upgrade" discs.

  • ITunes won't install. Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft

    iTunes won't install. 
    Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft
    Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this?

    I am the administrator, so this can't be a rights problem. The error message says "error writing to file c:\program files\apple software update\softwareupdate.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory".
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive, as per the following document:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • ITunes won't install on my Toshiba - it used to have iTunes!

    iTunes won't install. It used to have iTunes, but I cleared it off when I thought I no longer needed the computer (big mistake). Now it's my only computer and I want iTunes back, but when I try to install it it reads "This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows installer package. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer Service."
    Now, how do I do that? I tried faffing about with installing this and that yesterday, but none of it seemed to work. I'm a stupid girl with no computer skills - I need definitive instructions!

    Now, see, I did try that. My computer is now happily updating itself where it wasn't before, but still the same message. I also went and searched Google for a 'Windows Service Pack 2', which lead me to the microsoft site, which gave me the option of downloading the service pack. "Oh good!" I thought, "This will be fixed in no time!"
    Wrong.
    I downloaded said service pack, tried to run it and it too decided not to work. It sprung up a message that was something like "There is nothing on your computer that needs this pack" or something like that.
    Is my computer just so old that it's beyond saving? It is far older than a laptop should be, I know. I bought it in 2003. (I'd also like to point out that I'm not daft, I DID have a brand new laptop - which decided it didn't fancy having a working motherboard anymore. Clearly my ancient Toshiba is far more reliable.)
