After instailling iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows, my system slows down to a crawl

After downloading and installing iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows XP Professional, my system slows down horribly, and I cannot seem to find out why. Rebooting before installing this version of iTunes did not take long at all, yet after installing iTunes, rebooting takes at least 4 times as long, and the system runs very slowly/poorly. What has caused this problem? I have other friends who have HP Pavilion laptops using Windows XP who are using iTunes and iPods with no problems at all. I have restored my system back to the state before installing iTunes in SAFE MODE, but now I am unable to use my iPod or iTunes. Anyone having this problem?

In my experience iTunes has never been stable in a Windows operating system. If it's not one thing it's another. Right now I'm having video play back issues with tv shows on iTunes, good thing I have the iPhone now so I can watch them on there.

Installed iTunes 10.2.1 for Windows (64-bit), Error 7 Windows 998

Hello
After updating iTunes 10.2.1 for Windows (64-bit)I am getting the dreaded iTunes was not installed correctly, Please reinstall iTunes. With error 7 (Windows error 998) popups.
Tried already all the known uninstall/install/repair suggestions. Tried runnng as administrator or changing permissions. Tried disabling Bonjour Service.
Until now nothing has repaired it.
Is there a way to fix this? Can it be an Adobe update?
Is there a way to get an older version?

I had the same problem. I tried doing a system restore to a day or 2 before i did the update. The restore was successful but the itunes problem remained. After that I went into the control panel, selected itunes and clicked the repair tab.
It now works fine for me. The only other step I took was to copy my itunes folder into another location in case anything went wrong. Once the repair was complete I simply replaced the new empty itunes folder with my previous one.
Hope this is of some help.

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.

Having issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).

Issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).This install clobbered my previous version of iTunes. Error message is "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start". Cannot start the service manually even though I am the administrator of the machine. There is obviously some conflict that was recently introduced by a Windows update or in the Apple installation. I have tried removing iTunes and the AMDS (the Apple mobile device service) and reinstalling with the same error message.
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
Marilyn

Hey there Marylin,
It sounds like you are unable to start iTunes due to this error message even after uninstalling the iTunes application and the Apple Mobile device. I would recommend uninstalling not just those 2 applications but iTunes and ALL its associated applications with the following article:

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Best of luck,

ITunes 11.1.4 for windows has installation or upgrade problems

anyone knows why iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows cannot be upgraded and it always hit problem with the message "MobileDevice Services cannot be started....." when the upgrade or installation of iTunes 11.1.4 aborted half way with the message. I tried downloading manually the iTunes 11.1.4 for windoes package from Apple website and tried performing the installation or upgrade manually form my Windows computer. But it failed everytime with the same error message "MobileDevice Services cannot be started...." I tried on two different Windows computers (one laptop on Windows Vista and the one Desktop on Windows 7) and they all failed also. Please help if anyone knows what is wrong. Thanks.
BTW, after the failed upgrade or installation of iTunes 11.1.4 for windows, I cannot use iTunes anymore with the following error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." But reinstalling iTunes 11.1.4 always failed. So I am in a catch-22 situation. no way to proceed with iTunes on my Windows computers.

Cannot sync iPod after updating to 10.4.1 for windows. Help?

I recently updated to iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows 7 on my PC and now I can no longer sync my iPod. Once it starts syncing music, I get an error message that says "iTunes Has Stopped Working" and it does not give me any kind of resolution to the problem. I have uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and all other Apple software from my computer but I'm still running into the same issues after I've reinstalled everything. Does anyone know why this might be happening and how I can resolve the issue? I've researched the issue and it seems like a lot of people are running into this and I haven't found any kind of universal fix yet.
Thanks

Upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and it syncs fine now so if anyone else is having the problem, that's the only solution I've found out there.
PS - Posting on these forums appears to be pretty useless!

ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

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 page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

Can Not installed latest iTunes 10.5.2 for Windows XP

To System support,
I am having trouble installed latest iTunes 10.5.2 for Windows XP. When I start install the exe file, I got an error message:
“There is problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.”
Could someone tell me why I can’t install iTunes 10.5.2?
I even fellow the trouble shooting from iTunes page by uninstall the older version of iTunes. Now I can’t even link my iPhone or iPad now. Please advise me on what is missing in my computer for costing this issue. Thanks for all your supports.
My computer inf:
System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Computer:
Intell(R) Core 2 Duo CPU
T7500 @ 2.20GHz
2.19 GHz, 1.50 GB of RAM

“There is problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.”
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

TS5376 is there a fix for iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows installation problem?

I tried the fix in "TS5376: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open" but problem remains. We have the same issue on my dauther's PC (Windows 7 also). iTunes can't open and configure correctly.

Hey MichelHebert,
When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow these steps below? This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
from: Step 1 of Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Let us know if uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Take care,

Itunes 12.0.1 for Windows (64-bit) is Unresponsive

I just updated to itunes 12.0.1 for Windows (64-bit) (Running windows 8)
As soon as I start the front screen is loaded but the program is unresponsive.
In task manager it says it's a 32bit program (not sure why it is advertised as 64bit!?)...
I tried the following:
1-Removed Itunes, Restarted, Reinstalled it but that didn't work
2-Removed the SyncServices Folder (as suggested in some forums) but that also didn't work
Any Ideas?

Hi suntrain,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that iTunes is not responding on launch on your computer running Windows 8. You have already done some great troubleshooting to try and isolate and resolve the situation as well. In this situation I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article.

I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit

I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit.
I tried the suggestion to delete existing iTunes before installing the updated version.
I receive a message that a file is in use when I try to delete iPOD.
I started Task Manager to stop services for iTunes as suggested but it is not listed.
How do I install iTunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 - 64 bit?

I got the same message about the network resource that I can't access. The only difference is that I couldn't install Itunes 10.3 because I can't remove the old version of Bonjour. I couldn't get rid of anything in add/remove programs, but I went into my program folders and deleted everything that had to do with Itunes. I also ran a Windows Cleanup Utiltiy. Nothing will work. I still can't remove Itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime, MobileMe Control Panel, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, or Apple Software Update in add/remove programs because they are on a network resource that I can't access even though I deleted them from the program folders. This is very frustrating!

I can't get the latest version of iTunes 12.0.1 for Windows (64-bit) to work on my laptop.
