Can't install iTunes 10.6.3 on Mac

Hello.
Had some issues with various iPods, iPhones and Touches becuase of various ages.
So I decided to uninstall my present iTunes and revert to iTunes 10.6. onto my MacPro.
During the install a windo appears saying to continue to insatll please close the following application. In the slect window is only iTunes.
So I select it and of course the install is cancelled!!How do I install the iTunes when it is asking me to quit installation?
Any advice please? 

Try this - it's what I did when reverting to 10.7 from 11.0 so should work as you cant simply install an older version.
OK, first of all (assuming you on OSX10 +) make sure you're logged in as admin, navigate to the Application folder and right or option click iTunes.app and select "Get Info". Click the padlock, enter your password and change all the permissions to read and write. Close "Get Info" and simply delete the iTunes app.
Google iTunes 10.7 DMG and download it. Google and download Pacifist. It's shareware so when launched a timer will start and you'll have to wait a few seconds to use it, then a couple of pop ups will appear asking if you want to install some extras, choose to ignore them. Once Pacifist is open click the "Open Package" button and navigate to the iTunes DMG. In the window that appears click on the "Contents of Install iTunes.pkg" to highlight it. Then on the top left of the Pacifist window there is a downward arrow marked "Install". Click on that and let Pacifist run. Several pop ups will appear - choose to "Replace" to all.
When the installation has finished make sure iTunes is not open then navigate to your "Music/iTunes" folder. In that folder is a file named "iTunes Library.itl" - delete it. Then in the sub folder named "Previous iTunes Libraries" you'll see files with dates in the filename i.e. "iTunes Library 2012-12-05.itl". Copy and paste the one with the latest date to the main iTunes folder, where you deleted the previous .itl file, and rename it to remove the date.
Finally in the Apps/Utilities folder you'll find Disk Utility. Launch it and select the hard disk "Mac", then click the button "Repair Disk Permissions". This will take around 5 minutes or more (despite it saying it will take 2 minutes!!) and you'll see it repairing a lot of iTunes files but be patient it will finish. When done close Disk Utility and I'd suggest a reboot (although I didn't) and launch iTunes. You might need to sign in to your account again but maybe not and all should be good!!!
Good luck.

  • I can't install iTunes 10.7 without updating MAC OS, not sure which version to install

    I just bought the iPhone 5, trying to synch with iTunes to get settings, contacts, photos etc. installed. Got a message that iTunes version 10.7 or later is required. Went to www.itunes.com and downloaded the update, got a message that it requires MAC OSX version 10.6.8 or later. My MAC (Intel based) is currently running 10.5.8. When I select Software Update, it tells me that all software is up to date. I'm not sure what to do next. After some searching, I found:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Is this ok to install on my machine?

    There's no fine print to it. In fact, the print is just as big as everything else on the page...
    Look here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    Under System Requirements:
    Apple ID (required for some features)

    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:

    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later

    I pulled my brains out trying to figure this bug out and I may have a solution for you.
    All of it installed fine in my desktop, but a friend's laptop got the error you mentioned on quicktime, itunes, flash, officeXP and about anything else I tried to load for him.
    If you look in: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp there will be an iTunes install log...open it in Notepad and see if it isn't exiting with a 1619 error while running msiexec.exe
    If this is the case, this fix should work for you.
    Seems some configurations of XP (and possibly Vista) aren't allowing full administrator rights to the account you set up when you installed XP (even though User Editor says you do have those rights.)
    I read 2 MS articles and turned off simple file sharing, then gave ownership of the entire C: drive to the administrator. Logged the admin account off, logged his "admin" account in, and then gave rights to his personal directory to his account (c:\docs and settings\<username>)
    Once I did that, every install that had previously errored out performed flawlessly.
    The MS articles in question:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316309 (1619 error)
    and
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308419 (how to set special permissions)
    Hope this helps!

  • Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

    Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

    Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

    Generally YES.
    It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
    Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
    Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
    Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
    After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
    iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
    Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
    That's all.
    Lupunus
    PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.

  • Can you install itunes on more than one computer?

    Hi all,
    I want to install the software for my first-generation ipod mini on my friend's computer, but I heard somewhere that you can only install the software on one computer and obviously I also want to be able to use it with my own computer as well. Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?
    Many thanks,
    Samantha

    Sure you can. But instead of using the (more than likely) outdated CD, see the iTunes Download Page

  • Can't install itunes 10.4 on Windows 7 home premium

    I am not highly technical, so please bear with me:
    After repeatedly being unable to update itunes 10.2, I thought I should just uninstall it and install itunes 10.4. Wow, what a mistake. After many hours I now can't run my MS Office programs AND I can't load or run itunes.
    Originally, while trying to update itunes, I kept getting the message "errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose tools > download only and try installing manually." This confused me as I could not find "tools."
    After some reading online, I decided what I should do is download the Windows Installer clean up tool. Apparently this was the BIG mistake. I selected Apple items to remove with msicuu.exe, only to find that now my MS Office 2010 programs no longer run ("Microsoft Office not installed for this user"), and I still can't install itunes.
    I tried installing itunes 10.2 and got a message that I must install a 32-bit version of itunes.
    I used the cleanup tool once again and tried to install itunes 10.4, and got the message: could not open key: UNKNOWN\components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\6A262021B4A79884EA585F5E86D 86338. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.
    Now when I try to run MS Office software, getting message "Preparing to install", then, Configuring Microsoft Office Professional Plus, then something about the program not being installed for this user (I'm the only user).
    I realize that this board probably can't help me with MS Office software, but can you help me with itunes?

  • Can't install itunes 9 in windows 7 "The folder iTunes cannot be found"

    I can not install itunes 9.0.3.15 in windows 7. Getting the error message "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the Music folder." I see a solution has already been posted for this problem, but it is specifically for Windows XP. Anyone have a solution for the problem in Windows 7?

    Doublechecking some things before proceeding, j. Are you trying to upgrade your iTunes on the PC? Or is this the very first time iTunes has been installed on the PC?
    Are you getting the error message during the install, or when trying to launch 9.0.3.15 after the install?

  • Can't install itunes in windows vista

    i'm just upgrade my gf's PC from Windows XP to Vista. I find that I can't install itunes. As it said visualbsic script is missing or disabled. How can i solve it??

    I think it would be a good idea to scan for malware as malware often interferes with Windows Update.
    Download Malware bytes and run a full scan, there is a free version:
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/
    In services, check the Window Update service. It should show as "started" and start up type automatic.
    The other thing is to run the system file checker:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
    This will attempt to fix problems and if it will not run, that is another clue to the problem.

    Hey Debbiered1,
    Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
    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.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take care,

    Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Are you trying to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, or vice versa?
    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
