Can't install/re-install (help appreciated)

thanks to anyone who starts reading.
I have tried reading through old topic with the same/similar problems & i'm STILL getting no where fast!
I installed the new itunes update (7.2) from this point everything went wrong.
After reading everything 'i need to install quicktime again', so i un installed...add/remove, even used windows install clean up, deleted the 2 'extra files' in programe files etc etc.
i STILL get the following message when i try to install quicktime...
'Another version of this product is installed, installation of this version can not continue. to configure or remove the existing version of this product, use add and remove programs'
i tried as many different things as i could....i tried one thing just now.....& now i give up!
I searched for ALL terms quicktime.......& now they are deleted!
STILL it claims i have a previous version
I have installed a while back a codec pack (media player classic), but through the 'search function' i have NOW deleted all reference to quicktime
any help!
(REALLY wanna get my itunes working, not had it for 1 week now, but i'd better fix quicktime 1st)

Ya I tried that, tried a bunch of othe stuff too. Called 1800myapple and they told me that when I uninstalled iTunes I did the 6 different portions of iTunes and QuickTime in the incorrect order. Deleted them in the correct order, then ran the iTunes setup again, did an iTunes update and it worked fine. Really strange but the apple rep said there were several people having difficulties with 4.3.5 os. It's working now did my restore and sync'd with the backup, most of the settings went back to normal and I got all my contacts but none of my apps. Redownloaded the apps, all is back to normal.

  • I can't install 11.1 on my vista computer. Any help will be appreciated

    I plug my phone in and it says I need 11.1 or newer. I go and download the update and everything is fine and it finishes the update no problem but when I open iTunes and plug my phone back in it says I still need 11.1 or newer. Basically the update seemingly disappears and I have tried uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling it and I still have the same problem with 11.1 and I'm not sure why. Any sugggestions or advice or anything would be much appreciated.

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • PS downloads uploads for my CS5 (fully licensed) but "can't install" - offers no explanation. Help appreciated. Greg

    PS downloads uploads for my CS5 (fully licensed) but "can't install" - offers no explanation. Help appreciated. Greg

    32 versus 64 doesn't make a difference.
    "I've seen similar issues on httP://feedback.photoshop.com You should maybe post there to report the bug."
    Thanks.  I searched there and found what might be a workaround. I think this is simply a bug in CS5. If (as indicated in posts revealed by searching the forum you linked me to) I temporarily change Printer Manages Color to Photoshop Manages Color in the PS window, I can then access Print Settings again to make changes, Save and then change Photoshop Manages Color back to Printer Manages Color.
    Go figure.
    Thanks a lot for the help.
    What I don't understand is why everyone isn't experiencing the same issue.

    Hello,
    You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...

    Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
    We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

  • 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.

    Hi Warsame12,
    It is worth mentioning that don’t use IPV6 PXE, Windows 7 doesn’t support WDS 2012 deployment over IPv6 PXE. If IPv6 PXE boot is enabled and a 
    Windows 7 installation is selected, a blank screen will appear and Setup will not run.
    The related KB:

  • Can't install tiger v. 10.4 please help!

    I may be being incredibly stupid here but how I am supposed to install Tiger if my iMac doesn't have a dvd drive?? I currently run OS v.10.2 and need to upgrade, I bought Tiger and now I find I can't install it because I can't run the installation DVD! Surely there must be a way around this which doesn't involve me paying out for a DVD drive. If anyone can offer me any help if would be much appreciated!
    Many Thanks,
    Linsey

    Hi,
    you can exchange your DVD for installation CDs. I'd call Apple to get that done. Since we don't have Apple Stores around here I don't know if you could also go there and have your media exchanged. Alternatively you can hook up a DVD-equipped Mac via Target Disk Mode and install it that way.

  • Can't install Firefox on Android tablet (Unknown Full AOSC on Leopard SOC) I get this message. Help?

    Tablet is running Android 4.1 have d/l & install Kingsoft suite no problems. But can't d/l Firefox browser as I get the above message. It's a new tablet, everything else works correctly. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Rob

    Ok, so the main issue is that Firefox is not able to check for new updates, and this means you are forced to check this manually, download the latest and install it. You'd rather that this happened automatically. Is that correct?
    Can you please do the following
    #Open Firefox -> Help -> About Firefox
    #Click on the 'Check for updates' button. According to you, this is failing for some reason. First thing would to be get past this hurdle
    #Once you do this, and you see the error message for failure to find the new version, please go to %APPDATA%\Local\Mozilla\updates folder and you will see another folder with a long string of numbers <folder>\updates\0. Inside this '0' folder, can you please check if there are any files?
    #If there are any files, kindly send them over so that we can check and see why Firefox is not able to check if there is a new update
    Also, there are options for you to download and updated file and run the update on Firefox, if you are interested

  • Hi I would be grateful if someone can help me, I have just bought a canon wireless printer, I only have an iPad so I can not install the cd that comes with the new printer yet it says it is compatible. How do I get it working I have a pay as you go 3G sim

    I do not use the Internet using wifi I use 3G mobile broadband and if I do need wifi it tells me I have to pay for it, but I can not work out how to install or connect my iPad with my new printer if there is not a cd slot or USB port. I only have an iPad no computer so how on earth do I use my printer with it if it I can't install the printer cd. I though I would be able to use Bluetooth and it would pick it up automatically but I am really confused now and don't know what to do please help.

    The iPad uses AirPrint technology to print to a printer. Check this Apple support page to see if your printer is listed as being AirPrint compatible.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If your printer works with AirPrint you will need a Wi-Fi network in order to connect. That Wi-Fi network does not need to be connected to the Internet. As James Ward4 says, you'll need a Wi-Fi router to set up your network. Most routers require that a computer be used during the setup process. Perhaps you could use someone's computer to do the setup if you do not had one yourself. Once the router is set up you should be able to print.
