Can't install itunes on correct drive

itunes will not install on c drive. it wants to install on w drive which is too small and can't be expanded. tried the steps for changing the destination but that failed. it keeps trying to install on w drive.

Hi JDB38;
There is no such thing as an Intel G5. It is either one or the other but never both. An Intel tower is a Mac Pro. A G5 is a tower with a PowerPC processor in it. So which do you have?

Can't install iTunes on C drive because it crashed on F drive

I have an external hard drive that I added around Christmas time. I am using Windows XP. I made a HUGE mistake a few days ago. I was using iTunes (which I'd switched to my new "F" drive to free up space on my "C" drive) when it froze on me. The external hard drive started to get hot and in my haste to close iTunes I accidentally chose to end the process (NOT the application) using Task Manager. After doing that my computer now no longer seems to recognize my external hard drive at all (except as a USB "mass storage device") and even though I've deleted everything I can find that's related to iTunes and Quicktime on my C-drive I still can't download iTunes! I get the error message: "Invalid Drive: F:\" I have tried everything I can think of, short of taking the stupid ext. hard drive to a professional that I'll have to PAY (which I really HATE to do since I've always been able to figure things out using advice found on the internet). I've tried using the Device Manager, I've tried using Computer Management. I've tried all the unplugging, replugging, and restarting my computer. What I really want is for someone to tell me how to get around this "Invalid Drive: F:\" problem. We have thousands of songs and use iTunes constantly. I need to find a way to bring it back!!! Please help if you can! Thanks

Ok you can only install itunes on C drive, its hard coded. You can store your library anyplace. Once itunes is installed you need to change the library location in the Edit > Preferences dialog.
Hope that helps.

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 i install itunes on a portable hard drive

Can i install itunes to a portable hard drive? Also can I have more than one itunes library?
I have a very large cd collections and dont want to put all the files on my mac hard drive, would like to install or keepmthe cd on a portable drive

That was timely. I had the same question (new MBP with two drives) and you solved my question. Thank you. It works the same way you change Aperture Libraries, so it makes sense and is easy to remember.

Can I install itunes on a network drive?

Can I install itunes on a network drive? How?

Your virtual drive still needs a physical drive to live on. You can move your iTunes library to any drive big enough to hold it, e.g. an additional internal drive, an external drive, a network share, it's up to you. What you can't do is put a quart into a pint pot.

Can I Install iTunes on the D: Drive?

Can I Install iTunes on the D: Drive? I looks like iTunes does not give me that option to do this.
Thanks

It's like any other program installation - during the install it says where it is going to put the program.
The default is C:\Program Files\iTunes.
You have to say "No" or "browse" or something like that, and tell it the D: drive instead.

Can i install iCloud on a drive other than C:?

I am installing i Cloud on a Windows 7 but do not have an option of putting it any where but C drive. How can i install it to another drive? I keeep my operating system on a small partition and install all my programs to a larger partition.

Install it normally, launch it with the Shift key held down, and create a new library on the desired drive. The iTunes application contains system components and therefore must be installed on the drive or partition containing the OS.

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

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 10 due to Bonjour

I need help finding and deleting Bonjour from my desktop. I uninstalled iTunes 9. When I try to reinstall iTunes 10 I get an error message that says "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group". I have searched for Bonjour throughout my computer and deleted it every place I could including the REGEDIT. When I try to remove Bonjour from the list of programs through the Control Panel I get an error message that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available". I can no longer use my iPod Touch because I can't install iTunes on my computer. This makes me very sad.

These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any BonJour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Hello Gesturinn,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines troubleshooting issues when attempting to install iTunes. In your circumstance, it may be as simple as choosing "Save As..." (and ultimately choose a location) instead of "Run".
