After downloading iTunes, the setup file simply does nothing...

I got a new iPod touch yesterday and when I tried to update my iTunes (which was 7.6) the update would not work. After trying to update multiple times I finally decided to uninstall iTunes so that I could re-install it (and hopefully have it work. This, I soon learned was a big mistake. The download of the iTunes setup file to my desktop worked fine, but when I tried to actually install iTunes, nothing happened. I can click the file, a window pops up saying that the program is from an unknown publisher and asks me if I want to run it anyway. I click yes, and nothing happens. When I try to install iTunes from the apple website, it won't work either. I then get a pop up saying that the program is bot valid and will not install. I have tried everything reccomended on the troubleshooting section and no change. I have windows XP, which is up to date, has vbscript installed and have tried everything that I can think of. Can anyone help me??
please and thank you.

I am afraid I don't know the answer to this. The problem seems to crop up a fair bit, but I haven't seen anyone post a solution.
There is an experiment I have been wanting to try with someone if you are willing. I have been wondering if this could be anything to do with a problem with cryptographic dlls.
Could you try working through *Method 4* in the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
It is possible that simple re-registering the dlls might help if the process goes through without any error messages.
But it is also a test to check for missing dlls - make a careful note of any error messages that may occur.

After downloading Itunes 7.6 I click and nothing happens

I have windows XP and a gateway laptop thats about 3 years old. I recently bought a nano 3rd generation and after downloading Itunes 7.6 SUCCESSFULLY I click on the Icon and I get an hourglass then it goes away and nothing happens!
Keep in mind I had an earlier version of Itunes on there before...Now I see alot of people have asked this question before but....has anything been resolved?? Can I do anything? I already tried uninstalling and then renstalling the old version and now the old one is doing the same thing! I dont know what to do...my brand new ipod is useless without this new version..

Miz Katrina, haven't you read the other dozens of topics with the same problem ??? We appreaciate your answers, but users have tried everything !!! Different account, closing antivirus, QT working etc etc, there seems to be a deeper problem and Apple doesn't seemn to care at all...I am extremly frustrated because I wanted to buy an iPod Touch and without the latest version I won't be able to use it...please stop posting the same useless things over and over again...

As I attempt to download my first app, ipad is asking to review my account. After I hit the "next" button, it does nothing. Why?

I am trying to download the app "MobileIron". It will ask for my username and password. Then it tells me, I need to review my account settings. Then it does nothing.

There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

Is there an error message when you try to launch the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe)? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Do a verify of the disk.. A5 and the existing backup.
Sometimes you need to wipe and start over.
To delete existing sparsebundle see Q12 here.

Don't use wireless. To do large backups use ethernet with wireless turned off.
I almost want to say don't use Mavericks.. but it is too late for that if you already upgraded.. Expect trouble with Mavericks.

ITunes 9 : Error after downloading Podcast and iTunesU files

Hello,
i have actually some problem since i have upgraded iTunes to the 9.0 version.
After downloading video, or audio, files iTunes indicate a error. The message is the following " A problem as occurs during adding « File Title » to iTunes. The file may be corrupted or unreadable by iTunes. "
But the file is present in the correct destination directory (i.e.: /Users/UserName/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/iTunes U/SourceName ). But when i drag it directly to the iTunes window, the file is correctly added and perfectly readable by iTunes and perfectly synced with my iPhone.
Best Regards,
Dominique.

regarding that latest Apple Keynote on the new iPods ... exactly how big is that download?
I've on a narrow pipe, and thus far the Activity Monitor shows over 1.4 GB data received, on a machine that has been dedicated to doing nothing else for quite a while now. Looking at other Apple keynote videos with similar run times, this seems ridiculous, unless they are now downloading them as HD 720p videos.

How do I delete all existing iTunes software even though my computer says the setup file (iTunes64.msi) doesn't exist?

I have had iTunes for a year and I love it, but it kept telling me I had the error (-42408). I searched the support communities to find a solution but none of them worked. So i decided just to unistall all the software and start over, but my computer was telling me that the setup file (itunes64.msi) didn't exist. Again I tried to search the community to solve the problem and I couldnt. So I need to know how do get rid of all the iTunes/Apple Software so I can redownload the new iTunes. HELP PLEASE! I really need help because I have an iPhone too and I can't sync it or put things on it until I can redownload iTunes. HELP!! HELP!! HELP!!

So i decided just to unistall all the software and start over, but my computer was telling me that the setup file (itunes64.msi) didn't exist.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the 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 install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT1296 After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2. Why is this?

After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2. Why is this?

Ok, here's what seems to have worked....but will need to monitor to see if this stays "stable".
1) As suggested by King_Penguin in another Discussion thread [apple support > iPad > Using iPad > Discussions] (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15911962#15911962), I turned off iPhoto startup on the iPhone. Then ejected iPhone from USB.
2) Reconnected iPhone via USB. iTunes did not start up. Started up iTunes manually. Went to Summary page for iPhone, unchecked the "open iTunes" option, selected APPLY button. Let iTunes run its application process.
3) Then checked the "open iTunes" option. Selected APPLY button. Got a dialog box asking if I wanted "iTunes Helper" to be installed; selected YES. Let iTunes run its application process. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes. Reconnected iPhone via USB. AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!). Let iTunes do some backup and sync'ing. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes.
4) Connected iPad via USB (on computer). AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).
I don't know for sure that the iPhoto "automatic launch" was causing the interference, but it seems like the "uncheck/check" the "open iTunes" option seemed to re-set the problem that I encountered. I don't want to say for sure that this issue is fixed, but it appears to be under control for the moment.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and assistance. Maybe this info will help someone else out now that it's in the forums/discussions.

11.Once the updates are done, make sure you are booted into Windows and call Microsoft support and explain the issue (doing a clean installation with an upgrade disk.) The issue is very common and not specific to Mac users so they will pass you to Tech support and help you activate your copy of Windows.
Not always. I tried. Easier to reinstall Windows 7 over itself, activated fine. Or just do the legal thing and buy full copy. Mac Pro owners that want dual processor support need Pro or Ultimate (Enterprise also) rather than Home Premium.
I would NOT use Boot Camp 3.1, it causes problems for number of Mac Pro owners, though maybe not all so unclear what/why) but just stay with Boot Camp 3.0x from the Snow Leopard DVD (which can have trouble with AppleHFS)

The application called VirusScan that comes preloaded on the macbook will no longer open, claiming that it is corrupt and that I must reinstall it. After looking in the app store it does not appear that said application is available for re-downloading.

Also, I installed MacKeeper about two-three months ago and am questioning its performance. Looking for input as to whether or not this application helps or hinders my system.

I'll back up Csound on the MacKeeper thing. In fact, I actually wrote the following about it:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=245
Remove is ASAP. Do not use the provided uninstalled, as there are widespread reports of pop-ups advertising MacKeeper on your system after incompletely removing it. Try this:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
As for VirusScan, Barney is right on the money that it does not come preinstalled on any Mac shipped new from Apple. However you have gotten it, your best bet is removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information that will help you understand and avoid Mac malware without relying on anti-virus software.
