After installing iTunes 12.1 I get a network error.

After upgrading to OS X 10.10.2 and iTunes 12.2 (12.1.0.50 - latest version) I keep getting this dialog every time I try to start iTunes:
I can hit Allow and then go into the Firewall pane Security & Privacy preferences and see that iTunes has been added to to list of applications that accept incoming network connections. If I quit iTunes and then try to start it again I will receive the same dialog.
The only thing that seems to fix it is if I go into the Firewall pane Security & Privacy preferences and remove it from the list of applications that accept incoming network connections. If I do that iTunes will start up the next time without a complaint. If I then quit iTunes and restart it the error dialog will come right back. That makes this little hack a one shot deal.
I never had this behavior until iTunes 12.1.0.50

Thanks to all who have replied so far.
Also thanks to my brother who found a post from user s49 on Jan 3, 2013 in a response to a problem from a user who had the same problem in iTunes 11. I'll repeat what s49 did here since it solved the problem without having to change any security settings.
* First open the terminal program found in Application/Utilities folder
* At the prompt type cd /Applications/
* Then type the command sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/
* You will be prompted for the administrator users password, enter it.
* Then go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download and download the iTunes 12.1 installer for Mac.
* Once the download finishes reinstall iTunes 12.1
Once again, thanks for user s49 for above directions. It appeared that when updating iTunes to 12.1 from the Mac app store that something stayed in the iTunes.app/ directory that caused the problem. lWhat that was I don't know.
Since doing the above steps I've had no further problems with iTunes asking about network connections.

After installing itunes 11.1.5, i get a message that says no apple support why?

AFTER INSTALLING ITUNES 11.1.5, I THEN GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS
NO APPLE APPILACATION SUPPORT WHY ??????????????

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I hope it doesn't effect how I down load my itunes to my ipod and iphone.
No you should be fine. (The MobileMe service is being shut down, anyway, so there should be no impact at all.)

After installing itunes I get an error that says that I have to unistall and reinstall itunes because I'm missing something but it does not tell me what it is.

After installing itunes on my pc i get an error that says that i have to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I finally got it to down load and now it says that I need an upgrade. It's getting very frustrating as I've never had this kind of trouble.

What is the precise wording of the message that is appearing?

Why don't I get iRadio after installing iTunes 11.1.1 using OS X Mountain Lion in the US?

After installing iTunes 11.1.1 using OS X Mountain Lion, I do not have iRadio (or I cannot find it) in iTunes. Would anyone know a solution? Thanks!

At this point I recommend selling/returning your iPhone, and getting an older one that still has an older supported iOS.
Or buying a used or refurbished Mac that will support the iPhone. http://www.macsales.com/ and http://www.powermax.com/ are both good places to go, and the Apple Store has its own corner of older Macs to go to. Recognize PowerPC applications are not supported at higher than Mac OS X 10.6.8, and that Macs newer than July 20, 2011 can't run 10.6.8 without serious finagling. Migrating from old to new Mac also takes some work.
Recognize you don't have to buy the latest and greatest. Because if you do, you'll have to always try to make sure the software and hardware are running in sync. This is the down side of having integrated products. Eventually it does create older machines that can't run with newer devices.

After installing itunes on my Dell 570 PC every icon on my screen becomes an itunes icon

After installing iTunes on my Dell 570 PC every icon on the screen becomes an iTunes icon and which ever icon you select it becomes an iTunes page. Help

I also have an iPhone 4 with the newly downloaded iOS 5. I have not been able to get the camera icon on the locked screen to appear at all. I'd love to know how to fix it since this is one of the new features that I'd really like to use.

ITunes Error 7 (Windows error 127) after installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows

After installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows (latest build), I get an error pop-up saying:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 127)
I've gone thru the uninstall, reboot and reinstall process three or four times now. Still nothing.
Furthermore, after clicking okay to the error, it continues to pop up on it's own every 45 seconds or so.
There was one other error I came across after trying to launch iTunes after installation.
See both error messages here:
http://screencast.com/t/DSg4PpKF5BeX

Brilliant. Thanks a lot. I've wasted a couple of hours on this nasty bug, & trying all the other suggestions across various threads again and again.
I now find I had the same registry entry hanging on, despite uninstalling & wiping everything again and again. Having now deleted this key, (I don't even have an iPod), & iTunes 11.1.14 now opens at long last.
But WHY is this bug not fixed? Enough people are suffering with this across the forum. WHERE is Apple support on this?
It should have been added to their page at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
by now, why hasn't it???
It's not good enough!
Re:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls]
"C:\\Program Files\\iPod\\bin\\iPodService.exe"=dword:80000000
AHA! This entry for iPodService.exe still exhisted. So I had no folders on the PC, no installs on the PC and no services running.... BUT this was still in the Registry.
Step 5 - Delete only the Registry entry above. NO REBOOT
Step 6 - Reinstall iTunes64.exe
