Can't install itunes 10.5, and ipod touch 4g getting 1604 and1601 errors.

Hi. Okay let me explain my dilemma, and please try to hold on. Alright, so last year when i first got my ipod touch 4g, I jailbroke it with LimeRain from Limerain.com. 3 days ago, i decided to delete a facebook app on my ipod, and then decided to re-install it. While the app was re-installing, it froze. I turned off my ipod, and tried turning it back on, and it got stuck on the limerain skull. I left it for about 20min and nothing happened. I realized that somthing was wrong and I would have to restore it. I went to my computer, and tried to restore it back to factory settings. I first got a 1601 error. I then used IREB to try and fix it, but that didn't work, and I started to get a 1604 error. At the time i had itunes version 10. I was told i needed to update it, so i tried to. It wouldn't let me. It kept giving me this: "An error occured during the installation of assembly'Mircosoft.vc80.crt, type="win 32". Version="8.0.50727.6196", public key token....etc.........". i then uninstalled all of itunes off my computer and tried re-installing it. Now I can't even install itunes whatsoever because i keep getting the same error as before. PLEASE HELP ME! :'(!

Try this approach as it worked in my situation.  Just a shot-
I found msicuu2.exe (Windows Installer Cleanup Utility) for free and used that tool to remove iTunes from my machine and then reinstalled iTunes. This fixed my problem.  Microsoft use to have the tool on their site to download and no longer do (I can only assume since it was so easy to use that people removed things they shouldn't have and it became to big a pain for Microsoft to deal with).  With that said, I was able to find the tool at another site.  It was an easy fix after I installed the cleanup utility and I had iTunes reinstalled in minutes.
Was getting errors due to a previous windows installer package corrupted and not deleted. (last itunes update). Download from the internet and run this program selecting Itunes to be removed.  (you won't lose your music content), then restart your computer.  When you restart re-download Itunes 10.5.3  and reinstall.  It will automatically reload a non corrupted installer package and will go find all your music, files, etc. to restore by itself.  No problems what so ever resinstalling and getting all my stuff to add to my new Touch afterwards. 
note:  I spent hours researching this issue and it worked in my case.  Hopefully it helps-

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    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 any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can't install iTunes 9 on Vista. iPod services have stopped?

    I can't installed iTunes 9 on my Windows Vista PC. When I try to install, the installation process gets to about 95% complete, then an error pops up saying "Serice 'iPod Sevice' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the service". I also get a Windows System error that says "iPod service module (64-bit) stopped working and was closed". I can't install iTunes 9 and can't find any answers. And yes, I'm installing iTunes as the system Admin. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    My problem is with Vista, but slightly different to the above.
    I bought a new Vista PC yesterday and was able to download iTunes 8 to it.
    I'm also still using my old XP PC until I get the Vista one properly set up. Last night I ran all iTunes/iPhone/iPod Touch updates successfully on the XP machine.
    Today I am updating the Vista PC. Safari and Quick Time have downloaded.
    iTunes itself reaches 98.7 of 98.8 verified and then fails.
    The error message I am getting is ""The windows installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance"
    I have no idea what that means, does any Vista user know what the Windows Installer Service is and how I sort this out?
    There is a pop appearing occasionally about setting up 'winlock' - I have no idea what that is (need to google to find out) so have ignored that until I understand what it is.
    I've tried both running direct from the download and saving to my PC but still the same error message. Odd that the program installed yesterday but the updated version will not do so today.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

  • How can I sync my iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 4G to ANY computer/itunes without having to erase EVERYTHING on it?

    I need to use another laptop to sync my music, I've already synced my iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 4G with my laptop and had to delete EVERYTHING to do so! I refuse to do this again, I was NEVER able to restore my phone back to it's original state since then.
    How can I sync up my idevices to ANY computer w/ iTunes without having to completely bomb my iphone and ipod? And if I can't do that, how can I back up all my music and apps? I've already tried "back up device" and that did absolutely NOTHING to help my predicament.
    Long story short, I had my devices synced to my desktop, my desktop broke, so I bought a laptop, synced my devices to my laptop after erasing all my data, and my laptop was destroyed during hurricane sandy, so now I have to use my parents/friends computers to sync new music and videos. BUT CAN'T BECAUSE MY DEVICES WERE ALREADY SYNCED TO MY LAPTOP AND DESKTOP!
    If I can get ANY help, I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Shuffle Update after installing iTunes 5.x and iPod 1.1.2

    I installed iTunes 5.0.1.4 and ran the iPod Updater 2005-09-23 and now my iTunes will not update the songs on my iPod Shuffle (it actually erased my songs). I have totally uninstalled iTunes and the Updater 2005-09-23 and re-installed them per another post on the forum. Prior to installing the new iTunes everything was working okay. I should also mention that the amber and green lights flash when I try to play anything - i.e. maybe the iTunes download was coincidental and not the problem. Any insight or help would be appreciated.

    I have tried the following:
    1) Uninstalled the iPod Updater.
    2) Uninstalled iTunes 5.0.x
    3) Rebooted
    4) Deleted the C:\Program Files\iPod folder
    5) Reinstalled iTunes 4.7.x from my IPS install CD
    6) Reinstalled the iPod software from the CD
    In the middle of the reinstall of the Windows iPod software it asks you to connect the IPS to see if it needs formated. It recognized my iPod and said that it did in fact need to be formated. I gave it the Ok and it came back telling me that it had trouble communicating with the IPS and to disconnect and reconnect. I did so, same story again.
    It seems that iTunes 5 and the latest updater hosed the IPS hardware or firmware somehow. Needless to say, I'm not happy.
