I am trying to install itunes7 , but about half way through the instalation it stops and asks me to locate "itunes.msi".
with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):

To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select anyiTunesentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-10-4-or-powerpc
Since you have a Intel Mac, if you can upgrade to OSX 10.5.x then you may be able to use more current releases.
jscher2000, You should link to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html for 3.6.28 since the ftp is not mirrored.

iTunes is not installing because its incompatible with your OS. When installing the correct version the new version will update the older version, there is no need to uninstall first.
The last version of iTunes compatible with OSX 10.4 is iTunes 9.2.1
You can down load iTunes 9.2.1 here:

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. 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 iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

You cannot unless you have a full TM or clone backup which you could use to erase your drive and reinstall the earlier version (that would be for your computer, not an iDevice).

Open  > About this Mac, and tell us what OS X version you have. If it's 10.8, reinstall OS X 10.8.3 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
If, after reinstalling the update, you still can't use Safari, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting and reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion

Why does Photoshop Elements not remove the old version after installing an upgrade?

When I install a new version of Photoshop Elements, it converts the old catalog but does not remove the old programs. I just installed PS 11 over PS 10 and it did not remove it. I have had the same problem with each upgrade. I have to manually uninstall the old version.
Thanks.

It's good to have the software you paid for
Uninstalling the older version post an upgrade might be discomforting to many users, so...
Catalog conversion works fine irrespective of whether you uninstall or do not uninstall the older version since the catalog folders are not touched during uninstall.
Thanks

Can i get the old version of iTunes back without deleting everytying?

This new iTunes is the pits. I want the old version back. I deleted iTunes 11 and tried to reinstall an earlier version. It gives me an error that my library cannot be recognized by an older version. So...will i have to delete everything, libraries, etc. in order to get rid of this frankenstein monster and go back to a good version? And if I do, I'd like to thank you in advance for the hours of work you will be creating for me.

Who ever said dont be rude I guess must be an apple fanboy. Tell me why I have to buy iphone 5 to finally get 4g a technology that has been out for 2 to 3 years. I am sick of apple and their overpriced items I dont know if you dont see all it is is software. I really like the apps for games but my Galaxy 2 screen is almost bigger than my wifes iphone. I am sorry they need to catch up with the times and leave itunes alone. The new version is harder to use and harder to figure out what they did. He has the right to be rude to apple, they are a company that doesnt care about their buyers because they know that people will line up to buy their ipad mini when you can buy a full size Ipad for 70 dollars more. My wife just bought the ipad 4 and they didnt make that many changes to justify it just like they did with the 4s yet fanboys went beserk. I think we ought to show them that unless they make the next iphone with a larger screen and the next ipad a little cheaper then we wont buy it.
I have all the components in my computer to match an IMAC yet need to buy their 2200$ computer to have their software legally. Its all about money of course I get that but make something for a better price considering it is software leading not the components. An alienware laptop runs less money than a stupid macbook that is wrong. I hope apple reads this but they will have their fans that will line the streets for bad products. They are behind in technology compared to android and pc. The ipad mini should have been priced like everyone else at 199 not 329 but again fanboys lined the streets for it.

I can not install the new version of itunes.

Everytime I try to install the new version of itunes my system locks up. I am logged in as administrator so I know that is not the problem. Any suggestions?

FYI
I had to turn off my anti-virus completely to get the install to work.
