Can't install Itunes 64 on Vista 64 bit OS

Bought an Ipod Touch. Downloaded iTunes64. On install I get an iTunes + QuickTime error "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode (not), or if the Windows Installer is not installed correctly. Contact your support personnel for assistance"
HP Support(3 hrs), Microsoft Support(none), and Apple Support(2 hrs) unable to diagnose and offer fix. Any one had this error and successfully installed iTunes 64 on 64 bit Vista?

Excellent news, AK! Glad the HP chap was able to fix things for you.
Our flight to New Zealand will be from San Francisco to Sydney, then to Auckland
Ahhhh ... the long one ... Actually the issue I was wondering about would hit on LA-to-Auckland as well, but looking at the features on the Touches, a full charge apparently only gives you a maximum of 6 hours video playback:
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/features/
... so it might be worth getting a battery-pack of some description as well?
I haven't used it myself so can't vouch for it from personal experience (actually, I've never used a battery pack with an iPod), but there's a Kensington model I can see in the online Apple Store that claims it will give you up to 21 hours of video playback:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR823LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTA4NDYwODk
Thinking that with both that and the ipod fully charged, that might get you all the way from Florida to Auckland. (Best to do some "comparison shopping" of your own, though, before getting something like that ... I'm no expert on what would constitute the best deal for you.)

  • Can't install Itunes on vista

    Can't install Itunes on vista keep getting a message "could not access network location $appdata$".  I tried installing quick time on its own which worked fine. Tried to remove Quicktime and get the same error as above. I have successfully installed Itunes on an XP and windows7 machine.... Any Ideas ....please

    With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

  • Can't install itunes in vista business

    I get Windows Installer error message "This installation package could not be opened.  Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
    I disabled antivirus and reinstall, didn't work. 
    I changed registry value for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msiserver\ServiceSidType [REG_DWORD] and Default [REG_SZ] from {blank} or 1 to 0
    Restarted. No bueno.
    Any ideas?

    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:

    This will attempt to fix problems and if it will not run, that is another clue to the problem.

  • HELP Can't install itunes 9 on Windows 7  64-Bit

    I've just bought an iPod Touch and can't install itunes on my notebook. (Which means I can't use my iPod)
    I've downloaded itunes for 64bit, but each time I double-click it, a window opens and say "The windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
    and it says the itunes installer encountered an error before itunes completely installed.
    I went to Asus service center, but they said that itunes is not compatible with the new Windows 7 and I should bring it to Apple iBox instead.
    I've gone to 2 iBox and they don't understand the problem at all, and they didn't find any way to help me.
    This is so disappointing. I can't even find an email address to contact Apple directly.
    Help is so much appreciated. Thanks..

    iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
    1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
    2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
    Good luck, hope this helps.

  • 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.

    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)

  • 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 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?

    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.

  • Can't install itunes on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I have a brand new Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop PC, and I can't install itunes. I have tried downloading using internet explorer and firefox, and it doesn't even get as far as downloading. A message appears on the apple website saying thank you for downloading, but nothing happens, no error messages, no downloads, nothing. To clarify, itunes has never been installed on this PC. Thanks

    Hello twitrobin,

    I understand that you would like to download and install iTunes on your Windows computer. For more information about downloading iTunes from Windows Explorer and what may be causing the issue you are experiencing, please read over the information in the attached article.

  • Can I install Windows 7 (64 bit) on late 2013 edition of MacBook Pro?

    Can I install Windows 7 (64 bit) on late 2013 edition of MacBook Pro using Bootcamp? Before today, I would have never even asked this question due to the large number of users who continue to use Windows 7 in the PC world!  However, there seems to be two conflicting links on the Apple site.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3986
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    From the first link, there is a statement as follows: Mac Pro (Late 2013) only supports Windows 8 (64-bit).
    From the second link, the table (under MacBook Pro) clearly states that the Retina, 13 inch, late 2013 edition supports BOTH Windows 8 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit.
    So the above information is conflicting; and as a result, I am confused!  Thanks for any responses.

    As far as I am aware your computer supports Win 7 and Win 8 - 64-bit.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7
             or Windows 8.  For Boot Camp 4.0 and above you can only use
             Windows 7 or later. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
