Administrator Error in iTunes 10

I have two computers both are dell, both are running on Windows 7 and both I have access to as an administrator.
On the other computer I have installed iTunes 10 with administrator privileges without any problems. However on the other computer I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 10 thirteen (13) times already this day.
What steps have I done so far:
- Right-click on the installer and click on run as administrator
- deleted all registry keys that I could see related to itunes in windows regedit
- right-click to access itunes properties and chose the run as administrator option for all users, just for myself and combination (if there's such a thing)
NONE OF WHICH WORKED.
iTunes 10 just keeps on activating windows UAC each and every time I try to run it. it's just irritating. how come it worked on my other laptop with the same configuration as this one.
Help needed. Badly.
I'm just about to throw my laptop out the window because of frustration.

Close your iTunes,

(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

ITunes 7.3 installer "encountered errors before iTunes could be configured"

I was able to originally install itunes 7.3.1.3 (upgraded from 7.2) and use it with my iphone (activated/synced for 2 weeks with no problems). I had a problem due to a disk full which corruped Outlook.
I cleared substantial disk space, reinstalled Outlook 2003. This seemed to have corrupted the iTunes sync function, so I uninstalled iTunes (using Add/Remove Programs control panel), and have since been trying to reinstall. I am continually getting the "iTunes installer Completed - The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured" error message.
I have read many messages and suggestions in these discussions, and already tried the following:
Completely uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime (iTunes no longer shows up in the Add/Remove programs or using the Windows install cleanup utility) follwing all the steps listed in "Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698.
Quicktime (version 7.2 Pro) is currently installed. I can cleanly install/remove Quicktime alone with no errors, but not using the combined quicktime/iTunes installer.
I have tried redownloading the itunes installer several times, and even used the Apple Software update download only option and then manually running the itunes.msi file, but still get the same error.
I have tried manually removing all instances of iTunes/iPod/activesync/iphone that I can find in the registry and all the iTunes/iPod folders as the above knowlege base article instructs.
There must still be some other remnant of the old install, because if I try to install iTtunes 7.2, I get an error message that a later version is already installed, but I have not been able to find anything else.
I have even enabled the verbose logging, the error seems to occur in this section of the log:
MSI (c) (00:C8) [11:00:26:796]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\DOCUME~1\[myusername]\LOCALS~1\Temp\MSI36.tmp, Entrypoint: iTunesLaunchConditions
Action ended 11:00:26: iTunesLaunchConditions. Return value 3.
MSI (c) (00:FC) [11:00:26:859]: Doing action: SetupCompleteError
Any suggestions on what else I can try would be appreciated. One of the main reasons I need sync my ipnone to my work windows machine is to keep my Outlook contacts and calendar. I have no problems with iTunes on my macs.
I am running XP SP2, and have local administrator rights on my Dell 610 notebook.

I had to find this solution from another site, so thanks to all the people who viewed this thread & knew how to fix this but didn't bother.
If anyone is weary enough to come to this forum to solve this problem, here is one solution that worked for me & it may work for you if you encounter the error:
"the installer encountered errors before safari could be configured"
1. Use a trustworthy registry cleaner to clean your registry such as Ccleaner or Advanced System Care. This step may not be necessary though.
2. Go to "C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData(Hidden)\Local\Temp" & delete everything in it.
3. If step 2 still doesn't allow you to install Safari, then try:
4. Open Start type "CMD" in the search button, then in the cmd prompt "Regedt32"
5. In the reg editor open:
"Computer" / "HKEYCURRENTUSER" / "Software" / "Apple Computer, Inc." & try deleting the entries for any Apple programs that may be causing any conflicts.
Be aware that any programs that you delete registry entries for may not function correctly afterwards or need to be reinstalled, but this more drastic measure should hopefully allow the installation of Safari browser.
Hope this helps any further visitors to this forum looking to solve this problem it worked for me, good luck.

New 7.6 iTunes64Setup.exe "The installer encountered errors before iTunes..

I am using Vista 64 bit. Used 64 bit IE to download the proper file
iTunes64Setup.exe
from
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
But I get this error when I try to install:
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit the installer.
I tried installing when logged in as an administrator, and again as a a user, again same results. I tried uninstalling 32 bit iTunes 7.5 and rebooting, but the issue still remains. I manually wiped away the
c:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory (had only one file in there after uninstall), same problem.
FYI, this is just my secondary machine, so I'm not worried about loosing anything. So registry cleaning likely. But first, I'll try installing on a pristine 64 bit Vista virtual machine, just to see if the installer binary itself runs correctly on a machine without a history of iTunes 32 bit.
Is this a known issue with 7.6 64 bit? Is there a workaround?
There are many search hits for similar errors under 7.5 32 bit, but I seem to be alone with this error with 64 bit installer, for now...

FYI, I downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe again (not from cache), despite same exact filesize on my hard drive, this time, no install error, problem solved. So perhaps Apple uses no built-in CRC error detection, but at least it works now. I'm so glad 64 bit Vista is finally properly supported without errors about CD burning when you start it (I never bothered with the gear drivers workaround).
I did notice it still installs in the
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory despite being a 64 bit app, not sure if that matters, and not sure if it's a side effect of having 32 bit version in that directory previously.

How do I fix the R6034 error in iTunes?

How do I fix the R6034 error in iTunes?

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.

Error installing iTunes 8 && uninstalling iTunes 7.7

I'm having a problem upgrading to iTunes 8.
My OS is Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
When installing iTunes 8 64-bit installer the setup processes reaches the "Coping New Files" stage, the progress bar pauses for a few moments, then the status changes to "Rolling Back". The installer goes to the finish page with the message:
"+The installer encountered errors before iTunes could by configured.+
+Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.+"
This occurs with the iTunes 8 32-bit installer as well.
iTunes 7.7 32-bit is currently installed. When I attempt to uninstall through Windows Add/Remove the status progress bar crashes without error during the uninstall. iTunes 7.7 is still in my program list. I attempted the "repair" option for iTunes to the same effect.
Anyone know what is being checked to make the iTunes 8 setup be rejected?
Is there a good way to manually remove iTunes?

I have *Windows Vista 32 bit*, so BE CAREFUL with this reply, since I noticed you have a 64 bit machine. I just updated from iTunes7 to iTunes8, and got an error, with both iTunes8 and Quicktime 7.5.5. A solution has been posted by "rjchaney". If you go to the disscussion thread search and type:
'Error 46 could not load or find the Quick Time ActiveX Control', without the quotes, then narrow the results by 'rjchaney', you will see a response from 'rjchaney' from Houston, TX to 'aveniras'. _*THIS SOLUTION WORKED on my dell windows vista 32 bit computer.*_ Apparently, the permissions have to be reset in the REGISTRY ! You have to run the command prompt window as an Administrator, for the reset.cmd file to be correct. Since Apple approved this solution for me, _*I think the solution to a 64 bit machine might be similar. I don't know if this will work for you.*._ Just check the commands in the reset.cmd file, and maybe this will work for you.
_*THIS SOLUTION WORKED on my dell windows vista 32 bit computer.*_
In case you don't want to search, I am copying and pasting the solution from 'rjchaney' here:
There is an old NT utility called SubInAcl.exe that can be used to reset permissions in Windows XP and also in Vista.
Step 1: Download subinacl.msi from the link
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23418 and install it.
Step 2: Download a modified version of reset.cmd from here
http://gerger.com/o/assets/x/?id=22540
and save the file in 'C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools'.
Step 3: Open Command Prompt and type the following without quotes (hit Enter):
'cd c:\program files\windows resource kits\tools'
Step 4: Now type 'reset.cmd' and hit Enter (without quotes)
You will see the Command Line Tool running for some seconds. The issue should have been fixed and Quicktime should run again.
_*This solution Worked on my Dell Inspiron 530s, with Windows Vista 32 bit*._

TS3694 Error message "Itune could not copy 'song' because of an unknown error occured"??

I purchased a couple of albums from Amazon and downloaded to Itunes. I have done this many times in the past. I can play the songs on Itunes but when I try to upload that music to my Ipod I get an error message "Itunes could not copy "song" to the Ipod because of an unknown error has occured. I have purchased many albums and songs from Amazon and even the Apple store and never had this problem. Has anyone had this happened and was there a fix to be able to upload the music to the Ipod??? Any help would be much appreciated!!

TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
Any ideas?
Peter

The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
Please someone help ...
Thanks.

Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

I keep getting this error message: ITunes was unable to load data class information from Synch Services. Reconnect or try again later. What does that mean? Can I fix it? or do I have to wait for the next update?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

"error Report" "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" HELP!!

every time i try to load itunes i get this message
"error Report" "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. i tried removing quicktime through my control pannel and then reinstalling. ive tried running scans and pretty much anything else i can think of. at this point i might just return the ipod. anyone have any ideas.

Have you tried uninstalling Quicktime? If not try that. If you are still having problems then do this.
1. Uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime.
2. Delete the folders iTunes and Quicktime where installed in.
3. Reboot.
4. Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<<Your User ID>>\Application Data\Apple Computer\
5. Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<<Your User ID>>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer
6. Delete if in your My Documents folder there is a folder called My Music with a folder in it called iTunes. Delete or rename the iTunes folder.
7. Reboot.
8. Turn off all anti virus and firewall software.
9. Re-install iTuens.
If you still get an error after that your Windows install is hosed. You will need to format and re-install it first.
