Can't install Itunes at all  HELP please!!!!

I can't install the Itunes software from the website. Every time I hit download it opens a small window that I can't enlarge and my main window says"thanks for downloading" even though I haven't downloaded a thing. Also, the lttle window says the same thing. What do I have to do to get this on my computer? Anybody that can help me would be fantastic! Thanks!

I figured out what the problem is. It's a crappy install bug that has been missed for numerous versions now.
What is happening is that when setup hangs on the 'Register Modules' part the setup program kicks off itunes.exe before the setup program ends hanging the setup program indefinitely.
The workaround just to finish the setup is to kill the itunes.exe process when the setup gets stuck and setup will finish.
However, as a result (for me) is that itunes won't even open now.
This is just poor, poor, programming, and testing on apple's part. We can see now they focus more on the Apple products and don't really care about the Windows users.

  • Can't install iTunes on windows 7 please help!

    Been trying to install iTune on Window 7 but every time got message
    can anyone help please?
    Thank you

    What's the precise text of the error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • I can't install Itunes 11.0.4. please help!

    The automatic updater threw an error when I tried to update iTunes and Quick Time today.
    It said: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." about both a "iTunes 64.msi" file and a "Quick Time.msi" file.
    Solutions to this problem after google searching were to completely uninstall and reinstall iTunes and Quick Time using Microsoft Fix-it (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3704). I tried this and Microsoft Fix-it just loaded forever and wouldn't stop so I tried using Windows Installer Cleanup which was mentioned in a discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4753469?start=0&tstart=0). I was able to uninstall iTunes with this program but Quick Time didn't show up.
    Now after trying to reinstall iTunes from the apple website it says "Could not open key: UNKNOWN/Components/[string of letters&numbers]/[string of letters&numbers] Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
    What is this and how do I fix it?
    I just want to get iTunes and Quick Time back to normal...
    I just wanted to update them like usual.....

    Hello KB92,
    Thank you for providing all the information about the steps you have taken so far and the issue you are experiencing with iTunes.  It sounds like you finally got iTunes uninstalled, but you are not able to install it now.  I recommend following the steps in this articleto help with that:

  • Updated to windows 8.1 now can't install Photoshop Elements 12, HELP PLEASE

    I am having such a terrible time getting Photoshop Elements 12 to install on my computer.  I've had Dell software support and Adobe support's help but they could only get to the point of JUST the editor being installed. The organizer and the ability to go online never gets installed.  After all the files are downloaded and the installation begins a box comes up and wants to uninstall the program.  I couldn't get past this part but the software tech got past it.  I have spent hours and days trying to get this installed.  I've been a big fan of Adobe products but this is the first time I haven't gotten the HELP I need.  It has to be a software issue because i've downloaded other programs with no problems.  I even went out and brought an external cd/dvd burner and tried installing from the hard cd only to have the same problem pop up.  If it helps, I got the Windows 8.1 update maybe this is the problem. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

    Hi @gsh987  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and the brightness control on Windows 8.1 not working correctly after an update. I would uninstall all the display adapters that are in the device manager and restart the Notebook. Check to see if if it put an adapter back in , right click on the driver and update.
    If that does not help I would uninstall the Graphics drivers restart the Notebook and it should reinstall the correct driver for you.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • ITunes lost library. now can't install iTunes at all!!??

    I have iTunes on a iMac running the latest of everything. A year or more ago I transferred the iTunes library to an external drive and marked it on my start up drive with an alias. Worked great until today. I turned on iTunes and no music at all! I checked and it is still on the hard drive and the advanced prefernces shows it still pointing to the other hard drive. I tried everything I could find on the Apple support pages and this list and others and nothing works. I finally trashed iTunes and everything connected to it on the start up drive. I downloaded iTunes 6.0.4 and tried installing it. I get to the install button, click on it and it says - "You cannot continue. There is nothing to install". On customize install all options are greyed out and the word 'skip' is in the next column. iTunes shows 0 bytes! Easy install will not work either.
    I finally connected the hard drive to my powerbook and confirmed the music is still there but I lost all playlists and folders.
    I called Apple support but they want $49 to help isolate the problem with no guarantee they can fix it.
    Anyone out there able to help?
    Thanks, Mike

    Mike,
    The song locations, playlists, ratings and Date Added are all stored in the 'iTunes Library' file. (more info here).
    It appears to me, the file got corrupted or missing.
    If the file got corrupted, you should have gotten a message about a 'damaged library file' or something like that.
    The one you now have is empty and contains no data. You might take a look in the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder inside the iTunes folder.
    If there are still older versions available, use the most recent one, rename it to 'iTunes Library' and put it in the iTunes folder, replacing the one just created.
    That might bring most contents back.
    Working with an alias might complicate the restoring process. I'm not enthousiast about those. I prefer creating symlinks. They seem to be more stable with OS X.
    To bring back the remainder, drag and drop the 'iTunes Music' alias on the library window in iTunes. I'm not sure if this will work with aliases, but it could add the possible missing contents to the library.
    If no other library files are found, I'm afraid you have to start from scratch.

  • Everytime I try to sync with my iTunes on Windows I get the following message, 'This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Please run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again.' Help please?!

    I bought an iPad 2 about 8 weeks ago, having had iTunes and an iPod touch for about 3 years previously. From the moment I plugged the iPad into the laptop the above message pops up.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Have deleted and reinstalled all iTunes software from the system, tried using a new cable to fix it but nothing seems to sort it. My iTunes no longer recognises my iPod Touch now either!
    Please help!

    Try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:

    This what Apple's iTunes specific error codes support article says about that particular error.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • I can not install itunes on my computer. It tells me I need to update safari, and I have. Help please

    I can not install itunes on my computer.  It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that. Please help.

    It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that.
    That's an unusual message to be getting on a Windows system. (Typically it's a Mac itunes installation message.)
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please, tamara.
    Try another iTunes install. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
    Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.
