Can not open, remove or install iTunes

Since uploading the latest update, I have not been able to use iTunes. It started when it could not find any tracks but this was resolved as iTunes was looking in the wrong place.
Now it will not even open, all I get is a warning - The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character - I have tried to un-install this and get the same message and I have tried uploading an update and still get the same message.
Does anybody know a fix for this?

Try uninstalling it using windows cleanup utility the link is below

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Test after each one. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure that the right volume is selected in the Startup Disk preference pane.
2. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. If there's no change, reconnect them
3. Reset the System Management Controller.
4. Reset the PRAM.
5. Start up in safe mode, then restart as usual. If you can't start in safe mode—for instance, if FileVault is active—then triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/var/folders
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item named "folders" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Restart and empty the Trash.

I can not remove certain Nokia entries from the registry using Regedit.
Nokia support have suggested I do a complete re-install of XP which I dread doing because of the time it will take.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
How about uninstalling PC Connecitivity solution from Control Panel, it will not have any "NOKIA" tag along with its name, you can also check if your pc has got any nokia flashing connecitivity cable driver too?
Why not use PC Suite cleaner? You can find the link for this here

You need to contact the addon developers to prevent this, Firefox has no responsibility of a addon with a bug.

Itunes will not open, uninstall or install, Itunes will not open, uninstall or install

Eversince I got the itunes message to upgrade my itunes my itunes has stopped working. I cannot open itunes, I can't uninstall it and I cant install a new itunes setup. What is going on?!
Everytime I click itunes to open I get this message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriatepermissions to access the item."
Ok so my next step is to check the permissions for the actual program and I have all administrator permissions linked to my account!
So then I thought maybe I should just uninstall it and start over... Go to control panel, uninstall itunes.... I get this message from itunes "The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\program files\itunes\acknowledgements.rtf" ... Weird... So I go to that address and try and delete or open the file... I get a message saying I have no permission to do so... so I guess I have to see if I can change the permissions right?! Still same thing... I have all admin permission for this file AND for all of my itunes file! :/
Fine... let me see if I can install itunes instead... Go to the itunes website... enter email... download setup... open setup... I get the same message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriatepermissions to access the item."
Can ANYONE help?! What am I doing wrong here?

Did anyone get back to you on the issue?

I try to update mt Itunes to 11.1.5 and it stops and i can not open itunes store without itunes crashing.

I can not update ITunes to 11.1.5 becasue it stops when it's almost done. Then I can not open the store and Itunes crashes and it tells me to update and ITunes closes. I'm nt very happy.

Many thanks, that's perfect.
Errors occurred while installing the update. If the probalem persists choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually.
With that one, first try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

I can not open itunes. it says another device has itunes open.

downloaded itunes 10.5 but I can not open because it says itunes is running on another device. what do I do, I want to sync my new iphone and can not even open my library.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I can not open different sites after installing itunes. Why?

I can not open different sites after installing itunes. I can`t open google.com or youtube.com. Why?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.
