A later version of iTunes is already installed.
This is the error I get trying to install the latest iTunes.
"A later version of iTunes is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue."
Since 7.3 IS the latest version, this message is in error.
I have removed iTunes, I have removed Quicktime, I have deleted files, I have deleted registry entries, I have used the Windows Installer Cleaup Utility.
Now I don't have iTunes, and can not install any version of it.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ruin
Fair enough ... but they shouldn't be there. I just launched my CleanUp and saw no blanks up the top.
Before approaching them, we could try working out what they aren't. Have a look through the rest of the list. Are all the other programs that you use on a regular basis mentioned somewhere else in the list?
(Thinking that if we can account for all the other programs you use, we could go after those those two blanks acting on the assumption that they are actually the iTunes or QuickTime entries. The classic version of what i'm thinking of is extremely rare ... it usually involved old QuickTime versions and you're having an issue with iTunes, which is why I'm guessing that there are no version numbers in your case.)

A later version of itunes is already installed.Even when trying to unistall
I can't update itunes and i can't unistall itunes everytime i try, i get the message 'A later version of itunes is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue'.
I've tried to manually unistall itunes but that doesn't work.
I've google'd the problem but no one seems to have had this problem.
Does anyone at all have any idea, how to i can resolve this issue???Did you do all the steps in the scond article recommended by Jason?It would help if you explained exaclty what steps you have taken.
Usually this issue is solved by cleaning up the installer files with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. Did you do That?
In case it helps here is a step by step method for removal of iTunes, installer clean up and reinstall.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
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
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Vista
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
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.
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.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

A later version of iTunes is already on this machine.
I am trying to update iTunes. I first tried to download the latest version and install it. This seems to go through all the normal install steps, but when I go to start the program it once again tries to install. This time the install gets the message "A leter version of iTunes is already on this machine. Installation cannot continue." So I reboot and try to uninstall. The uninstall gets the same message. No matter how many times I reboot, try to uninstall, re-install... I get in this crazy loop where it never installs and never deinstalls.
I have made sure Norton is turned off during this process.
HELP!Found the clutter - when doing a "find" for all things itune/ipod, discovered (somehow) program files hidden in c:\windows that I had to delete first - try that...

Can't install due to later version of iTunes already installed
When I attempt to install the Airport software, I receive an error message that says the installation will not continue because a later version of iTunes is already installed.
I am running Windows Vista and iTunes 7.2.
Can anyone help me?I am hoping that by posting here this topic will become current again. My situation is exactly as described below; new computer, attempted to install airport express from install disc; get fatal error b/c I'm running later (7.2) version of itunes. Tried installing from English folder, which appeared to work, but no Airport Express Assistant shows up for configuration purposes. Any suggestions?
Vital Stats: Vista Ultimate, Linksys Wireless g w/speed booster router (also new and working for all other purposes), itunes 7.2, hope to use for air-tunes as I had done w/ my old computer. -

I have a late 2013 Macbook pro with retina display running OS X (Mavericks) my siteadvisor had recently grayed out and was not protecting against sites so I uninstalled my acfee internet security suite (provided by Cox with my account) and the siteadvisor altogether. I then reinstalled the Mcafee internet security and went to download the siteadvisor website. Once I went to download the siteadvisor installer stops and says "A newer version of SiteAdvisor is already installed on your Mac." How do I get my siteadvisor installed and back working again.
The download, if you mean this one :
https://sadownload.mcafee.com/products/SA/mac/website/McAfeeSiteAdvisor.dmg
includes the plugin, as well as other software. -
A newer version of Quicktime is already installed.
I installed my new Nokia software for my phone on my laptop which messed up so I did a system restore.
Since then Itunes and Quicktime stopped working.
After following a lot of stuff other people had tried I'm now at the stage where if I download the combined itunes/quicktime installer it tells me a newer version of Quicktime is already installed and if I download the stand alone Quicktime installer it tells me that the configuration data for this product is corrupt and to contact support personnel.
Please help!go to microsoft free downloads and install the "installer cleaner"
use that to uninstall Quicktime.
close it and then open "my computer" "local drive' "windows" "system32" and delte any folder or file in there with Quicktime
close and then go to my computer/local drive/program files and delete any Quicktime. Close
Go to web and download the 7.3 version - it worked for me (after 6 hours, registry cleaners, etc ..and finally help from Apple)
i was getting your error message and also the buffer overrun and even fatal error and systm32/ddl
good luck! -
What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7
What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7 & missing MSVCR80.dll) - the DLL is not missing. tgried to install today and it failed - what a waste.
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 go 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.

Can't setup express due to "later version of itunes"
I can't get through the express setup, continually get the message to the effect of "later version of itunes detected, cannot continue" or something close to that.
I am running I tunes 7.0.1.8.
I plugged the expess into my Linksys SRX router via cat6 cable and upgraded the firmware of the express using the program:
airportexpressfirmwareupdate63forwindows
It said download was successful, but when I rerun the setup program, I get the same message. The setup is version 4.2. Should I not be re running the setup program after downloading the update program into th eexpress?
No clue what's going on.I am hoping that by posting here this topic will become current again. My situation is exactly as described below; new computer, attempted to install airport express from install disc; get fatal error b/c I'm running later (7.2) version of itunes. Tried installing from English folder, which appeared to work, but no Airport Express Assistant shows up for configuration purposes. Any suggestions?

How to delete a photo album from iPhone using a new hard drive & a later version of iTunes
I'm using the same computer but with a new hard drive and a later version of iTunes. I previously loaded a photo folder from my PC to my iPhone, but I inadvertently did it twice, giving each folder a different name -- "Photo Library," and "Widget Photo Folder." Of course, I also have the "Camera Roll" folder on my iPhone. I now want to delete either the "Photo Library" or the "Widget Photo Folder" from my iPhone. On iTunes in the Photo tab, I don't have the option of deselecting the folder in my PC that I previously synced. Apparently, iTunes recognizes that the privious sync was not done with the new hard drive? How, then, do I remove one of the photo folders from the iPhone?
You CANNOT delete photo album. ALL pics synced to iphone are oin photo library. Those exact same photos, NOT duplicates, can be accessed from the individual albums.
This is how Apple handles photos.
Just as a song is in a playlist and in the library ( there is only one song, simply two ways to access it), photos are in the library and the same photos can be accessed from the album. -
I was on iTunes on my computer trying to drag a song from my iPhone 4 to my computer but when I connected my phone to the computer using a USB cable then it said that it couldn't connect to my phone because I need to get the later version of iTunes. How do I do that?

new iphone 5 and 4 year old macbook, and for some reason my computer says a later version of iTunes is required. So, i went to ITunes and found i have the latest version availble at this time. iTunes say phone can not be synced because it requires a version of 10.7 or greater?
iPhone 5 requires OS X 10.6.8 & iTunes 10.7 or greater. I suspect you're running Leopard, 10.5.8, correct? If so, you will first have to update your OS, then iTunes in order to sync your phone.
