  • DID SYSTEM RESTORE, LOST ITUNES WONT RE-INSTALL

    Right, this one is bugging me.
    ive just got an ipod nano for my birthday (november) and have installed all my songs onto it.
    but then after a few weeks of having itunes my pc decided it didnt like its sound device, so the sound on my pc completley vanished, so we tried re-installing all the drivers, no avail.
    so, (this is on windows xp) i did a system restore to an earlier restore point (before itunes was installed!)
    and then did another one, before that date too!
    now, i dont have sound, i dont have itunes, i dont have quicktime.
    and whenever i try install any of these i get this error message
    [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/vibrating_cake/ipodprob.jpg[/IMG]
    http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/vibrating_cake/ipodprob.jpg
    same for quicktime, just with quicktime in the name rather than itunes.
    this is incredibly annoying as i cant even watch dvd's on my desktop anymore because something is blocking my sound device
    so what can i do?????????
    (to summarise)
    i have windows xp
    i did two system restores BEFORE i installed ITUNES
    i cant re-install ITUNES because i get an error ITUNES.MSI is on a network device which is unavailable.
    i dont want to loose all my songs and albums because theres over 1000songs in there.
    and itunes will not open or install!
    oh... and i have tried backup on the system restore function on windows xp, wont backup BOTH system restores!

    If you are not getting sound, go to your control panel and open: Sounds and Audio Devices Properties>>Audio tab and check that your Sound playback device is set to your sound card.
    For reinstalling iTunes, after that mess I suggest you do a full removal of iTunes and related programs with Installer cleanup of any programs that do not uninstall, then a reinstall.
    Here is the method, follow it carefully and don't leave anything out.
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

    Hi dubboboy
    I would prefer it if bnoir walks you though this as he is the expert on installation problems.
    But you have to follow the steps 1,2,3... exactly as given in the article.
    Step 1. involves downloading and installing the SubInACL tool, there is a link to the download in step 1.
    Once you have the black command window open, you at step 4. type notepad reset.cmd, which opens Notepad. Answer yes to do you want to create a file...
    In step 5, you copy and paste the complicated looking text which starts:
    cd /d "%programfiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
    and ends:
    /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt
    Into Notepad.
    Then you save the notepad file.
    When I tried this, the file was saved with the correct name and did not need to be renamed as it suggests in the article.
    to confirm you have a file with the correct name, type:
    dir reset.*
    Into the cmd window, you should get your file listed as reset.cmd.
    If it is called reset.cmd.txt, you need to rename it. Type the following:
    ren reset.cmd.txt reset.cmd
    Then check it is correct with: dir reset.*
    If this all seems to much for you do you have a friend who is more confident with computers who could help?

  • HT1925 cannot remove bonjour and itunes wont re-install because of it

    cannot remove bonjour program from old itunes when trying to update itunes by uninstalling and re-installing itunes 10.7

    (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 Bonjour 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?

  • ITunes wont even install

    I have just recently downloaded the newest version of iTunes after reverting to iTunes 6 from the recent faliure of iTunes7. Im trying to install the newest version and I get this error: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personal or pacakage vendor."
    I have never gotten this message from any other installation. Please help.

    okay, with that one let's first try working through the general troubleshooting advice from the following document:

    any joy with any of that?

  • Help me with a strange problem-itunes wont re-install

    Hi there. I recently went to open my iTunes, and instead of opening, the windows installer started. Apparently it thinks iTunes was never on my computer. I try it again, and let it install. I then get an error message that reads,
    "Error writing to file C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\nb.lproj\Localizable.strings. Verify that you have access to that directory."
    Now I've never gotten that error before, and I have access to that directory, because I have administrator rights on my computer. Can anyone please help me out?

    "Error writing to file C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\nb.lproj\Localizable.strings. Verify that you have access to that directory."
    error messages like that (especially citing files in the lproj folders) are often associated with file damage or disk damage in the vicinity of the files.
    so let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive:

    does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? if so, does an itunes install go through properly afterwards?

  • Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & 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.

  • I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

    iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
    I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
    This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
    Thank you.

    My phone is the iPhone4 and my computer is a Windows Vista

    I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
    Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

  • TS5376 iTunes wont install.  It says " The program can't start because MediaAccessibility.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."  I have uninstalled iTunes 5 times and reinstalled it, and nothing has worked.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
