Afraid to install iTunes 10.5

The last time I did a iTunes UPGRADE my audible.com AudioBooks stopped working and I had to contact tech support and get support on resolving the issue. I completely forgot the solution that I did as it was not on their website, and it even baffled tech support at first whom assumed the error message I was receiving was only for Windows users. Has anyone downloaded 10.5 with Audible.com audio books and do they still work? Has iTunes 10.5 caused any problems? Can you still burn CD's or did Apple take away that feature? What features has Apple taken away from us with this release? What new bugs will I have? As a result of the Audible audio book problems, I only buy audiobooks from the Apple store. I dont have as much to choose from, but they work when I do upgrades.
Thanks..

Have you tried download the iTunes software, but not use the update software. Then turn off firewall and anti-virus program. Restart the computer and login as admin. Then run the iTunes download. Often there are other installes left in memory on Windows that interfere with the iTunes installer.

Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling should not affect your library. You should backup anyway.

Installed itunes on another computer and need to turn off automatic update

I have itunes on my desktop at home and it is set to manually update my songs on my ipod (I have more songs on my 80GB ipod video than on my desktop). I am now traveling with a laptop and just installed itunes on my laptop. itunes won't let you turn off the automatic update setting until you plug your ipod into your computer. I am afraid to plug my laptop into my computer because it will automatically update the music (wipe out all my music on my ipod). Can I somehow turn off automatic update (switch to manual) before I plug my ipod into my laptop? Also, I know there is software that allows you to move the music from the ipod to the laptop, but I don't want to move all that music to the laptop. I want to continue updating my ipod manually on my laptop. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you set the iPod to be manually managed on one computer, that setting will follow the iPod to any other computer you connect it to. However, even if you don't have the iPod set that way, when you connect the iPod to a foreign library, you'll receive an message in iTunes when it recognizes the iPod that the iPod is synced with another library, and you can click 'Cancel' and still get to the iPod's Summary page to put it into manual mode, without it changing any content on the iPod. If it makes you feel better, you can also click Edit and go to Preferences, click the Syncing tab, and select the option to "Disable automatic syncing for iPods & iPhones" prior to connecting your iPod.
Hope this is helpful

Installing iTunes on Vista 64-bit

*Looking for 64-bit support from Apple*
I'm running the 64-bit version of Windows and was disappointed to find out that Apple does not support it (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301 ). I tried to install iTunes anyway and the installation failed. This forum didn't provide any initial solutions that I could find so now that I've figured it out I thought I would post a solution for those that come looking.
*How do I know if I have the 64-bit version of Vista?*
Press the windows key and the Pause/Break key at the same time (the pause/break key is normally in the upper right corner of the keyboard). On the window that appears look for the label "System Type." next to it you will see text indicating whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vista.
*What Will happen if I try to install Vista?*
You experience may varry, but when I tried the installation ran for a while and ended with a message saying Quicktime could not be installed. I checked the Programs menu and iTunes was not listed after this failure.
*How do I successfully install iTunes on a 64-bit edition of Vista?*
When you download iTunes select the option to save the installation instead of running it immediatly. After the download completes right-click on the installation and select properties. Under the "Compatibility" tab check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for." Ensure that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected. Also check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator." Click on okay and the install iTunes.
*Will this also work for XP 64-bit edition?*
I don't know.
*I've successfully installed iTunes on my 64-bit machine. Can I use it to activate my iPhone?*
No.
If you try to activate your iPhone you will receive a message saying "Please connect iPhone to a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows XP (SP2) or Windows Vista."
*What happens if I set iTunes to run in Compatibility mode*
iTunes will detect that it is running in a compatibility mode and suggest that you turn the mode off and restart iTunes. Since it recognizes that it is running on a 64-bit machine it will still refuse to activate an iPhone. Bummer.
*If I activate my iPhone on another machine then can i transfer content to it on Vista 64-bit edition?*
Nope. iTunes will instruct you to connect the phone to a 32-bit machine.

Yes the forum has been misbehaving recently hence my double post. Ther should be an edit button, but it is only present for a few minute.
The error you are getting has certainly been associated with a failure of Windows updates, but I don't know if the one you mention is an issue.
The microsoft link to the update problem is;
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/ca7d15d7-8ee3-4993-bd01-753d adc904121033.mspx
That's about as far as I can go with this I am afraid.

Problem installing iTunes update: "Can't start" iTunes "because MSVCR80.dll is missing" from my computer. Please help!

Please help! I tried to update my iTunes as prompted, but it did not install correctly, and now I am getting the following message and do not know how to fix the problem:
"The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling this program to fix the problem."
Another window gives me this message:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"
BUT I AM AFRAID TO REINSTALL iTUNES and lose my library! Would greatly appreciate learning how to resolve this porblem without losing my music!
Cheers!

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 when installing itunes version 9 on Windows Vista 32bit

When trying to install itunes version 9 an error has come up before the installation is complete.
The error reads -
An error occurred during the installation of assembly

Can anyone help me - I am using windows vista 32bit. Have tried turing off ALL security and reinstalling as someone else suggested previously. But still have had no luck
Thanks

Thanks Emma!

Not a lot of documentation on that one, I'm afraid, but there's some general principles troubleshooting we can try with it that might get us moving forwards.
(1) Do you currently have a copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on that PC? If so, try downloading the following security update:
[Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
Does iTunes install for you after applying that update?
(2) If no joy there, head into your Windows Update and click on the Update History. Have a lot of Updates also been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on the entries for the failed updates to bring up more information on each. What error codes appear for you for the failed updates? (Precise spelling, please.)

Installing itunes 8.1 on vista home premium - please help!

This is my first ever post in a forum because i can usually work it out from other peoples questions... but i'm at the end of my tether with this:
I've just bought a new Dell inspiron 1545, o.s windows vista home premium.
I'm trying to install itunes 8.1 but am getting the following problem...
I can get to the part where it starts installing, and then it gets to a certain point and just... stops.
It's not freezing or even giving me an error message, it just stops!
So i leave it to see if it will start again, and it eventually times out!
You can understand how frustrating this is because there is no rhyme or reason to WHEN it stops (sometimes 20% complete, sometimes 96% completes - and sometimes it never even starts).
I've read up on many different forums (i spent 5 hours last night on this) and it seems lots of people are having problem with itunes and vista, but none of the threads contain this actual problem.
i've tried a few suggestions: delete all history and cookies e.t.c / try opening a different browser before going to the apple site / click 'save' instead of 'run' and alter the name its saved under, but none of the above has worked.
So basically, if anyone can help, I would dearly appreciate it... it's quite possibly driving me insane.
Many thanks.

I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

Install itunes on new laptop w/o losing old songs- cant backup songs tho!

Please can anyone help?! I have to figure this out by tomorrow!! :o
Cliffsnotes: _Want itunes on new laptop. Dont want to lose songs on ipod. Can't backup songs because itunes is gone from old computer. Halp plz?_
Details: I have an ipod touch. I think my dad accidentally deleted some of the software that is required to run itunes so now it won't open, or recognize the ipod when its connected to the computer. When I click on the itunes icon (which is still on my desktop) to try to open it, I get an error message that reads:
"Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install itunes again."
I would do this however I just got a new laptop and want to move all my programs including itunes onto it instead. If I try to just connect the ipod to the new laptop and download the newest version of itunes, I'm afraid it will delete my old songs already on the ipod. I know people have had this concern before but the answer is always to back up your songs first. How am I supposed to do this if the itunes is deleted/won't open on my old computer?
*Your help is so so appreciated*!!!

What you really want is the files, not the music really, just the system files so that when you reinstall iTunes you can replace the system files with the ones you backed up, thus saving your settings from your previous installation. As for the music, after you reinstall, you can backup your music from your iPod before you sync it to the new iTunes installation, that way it insures you not to lose all your music. I deleted half my music by accident from in my iTunes Music hard drive that I have separately so as to be able to keep all my music in case of a computer crash, which we both know is a drawback of having a Windows-based PC. Where you want to go is first go to Edit then Preferences then Devices and make sure you have Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically checked, then you can rest assured that you won't lose the music already on the iPod. Then you go to File then Library then Back Up To Disc. This is of course after you have iTunes reinstalled. Just save the system folders with all the system settings from your documents/music/iTunes section. Then uninstall and reinstall. Then transfer the backed up system files back to that folder and overwrite the new files that were created.

Had to re-install iTunes. Get so far, then I get an error message

I was prompted to upgrade iTunes to the new version 11.1.4. In doing so, I was getting an error message that it installed improperly, and received another dialogue box telling me to re-install iTunes. So, I un-installed it, and tried re-installing. It seems to go so far, and then I get an error message that says ...
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
Then it gives me three options to Abort, Retry, and Ignore.
The Retry and Ignore simply takes me back to the same message above.
Help please. Now I have nothing.

I also have this problem with getting photos from IPad to PC after having to re-install my PC. I am also afraid I will lose all my photos. I can only syn the Camera Roll photos, but have a lot more in other folders on my iPad. Cannot get them to the PC.

Issues (many of them) installing itunes for Windows 7

I have had great success (heavy sarcasm) installing iTunes in my newly updated Windows 7 machine. I upgraded from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64-bit.
When I try to re-install iTunes to the newly wiped machine, I run into 3 systems errors in the process. I believe they all hit in Quicktime update, and I never even get the opportunity to hose up the itunes installation itself!
The first message I get is "unknown\components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\FD563AF386D2DE54F838C8A833 6E1534"

Any help is greatly appreciated - I'm pulling out the little hair I have left!

Okay. I'll warn you in advance, I'm afraid, that I'm not especially experienced with these particular ones.
Some of them seem to have been behaving in ways that suggest security software interference ... one set of registry entries get fixed, then another few pop up for people. So I think it's worth trying an install with all security software disabled (and all other software shut down while we're at it).
Setting up for that.
First download and save a copy of the iTunes installer to your hard drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL925
No restart the PC.
After the PC restarts, do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now shut down all your Norton Security functions (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware.)
Now start the install by right-clicking on the iTunes64Setup.exe you downloaded earlier, and select "Run as administrator".
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
... any better luck with that attempt at an install?

I'm very afraid you will have to pay the immense sum of US $30 to upgrade to Snow Leopard.

Installed iTunes 6 but my library shows as empty

Hello,
I installed iTunes 6.0 and assumed, based on previous updating experience, that my library would be imported from iTunes 4.x. not so. How do I now access old playlists, etc, as my older version of iTunes is no longer accesible, please?
Do i have to reimport all my songs into itunes from the hard drive? I have not yet synched my iPod with new iTunes becuase i don't want to overlook some random yet critical step, such as i'm afraid i might have done with the upgrade, and have the songs stripped off of it.
thanks for your help
