Can't reinstall iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit machine, tried everything

Hi, I've followed the threads fromb noir and others with similar errors and 'no joy'   Here is my situation:
I have a windows 7 64 bit machine that I upgraded from Windows XP.  I upgraded about a year ago, no problem.  I got an iPhone (love it) and was synching to my windows machine for months, no problems.  Not sure what the trigger was (think it was an iTunes SW update) but I started getting error messages and the phone would no longer synch.
I uninstalled itunes, then when I tried to reinstall I got different errors.  I googled the error message and related ones, and tried the following:
- I ran the fix for Windows Update. It said it resovled problems, but it is still behaving strange.  It shows successful updates, but when I ask it to check for new updates, it just keeps looking and never completes.  In the background, it appears to be actually making updates which it shows as successfully installed.
- I updated the C++ redistributable package and the .NET package from the MSFT website.
- I've uninstalled all the components of Apple several times, tired the trick of deleting the previously downloaded components and updated manually, etc.
Here is the first message I get when I try to install Itunes64Setup.
An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft VC80.CRT,type="win32",version = "8.0.50727.6195".publick key token = 1fc8b3b9ale18e3b.processor architecture = "x86". Please refer to help and support for more information. HResult:0x8007002
Appreciate any help or guidance - hoping to avoid having to reinstall Windows again.

Can someone please respond to my request for support?  I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783  but it did not work. 
I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

    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 reinstall itunes on windows 7 comp. Get error message "object already exists"

    Difficulty reinstalling itunes on Windows7 machine. Despite uninstalling everything apple, I constantly get error message: "object already exists" and the install fails. I have gone through hard drive but can't find anything itunes or apple. Uninstalled everything apple in control panel. What am I missing?

    Try opening Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates then checking for the Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2918614). , Uninstall if you have it, then reboot.
    There is a strong hint here that it should resolve this issue, although personally I have that update installed and have been able to remove and reinstall iTunes without any problem.
    Click for more on KB2918614 which is an update to the Windows Installer Service released July 12th 2014. The timing and nature of the update suggest a connection with the "Object already exists" issue which affects other installations as well as iTunes.

  • Can't get Itunes to work or install - Tried Everything

    OK! It started as Itunes would not load on one of my users on Win XP (although it did work on1).
    I recently formatted my whole computer. I reinstalled Itunes and Quicktime using the current update from the apple website, and both worked fine on my user. However, on the 3 other users on the computer, neither work.
    I have tried to uninstall Quicktime (on both my user and other users) and everytime get the error message :
    "Error:- 1603 Fatal error during installation..."
    I have even tried using windows install cleanup as mentioned earlier and then trying to reinstall quicktime from a stand alone update (however, this still does not work as I get the same error message as above).
    I cannot edit the registry because every time I get a message saying:
    "Cannot open Apple Computer Inc, Error while opening key"
    I have tried system restore and then reinstalled iTunes but that doesnt work.
    I have also tried the solution with the iTunes folder in My music.
    BUT NOTHING IS WORKING
    Now iTunes will not load on any user and I cannot install quicktime as it comes up saying :
    "Quicktime failed to initialize" Error # 63441"
    I have thoroughly searched the discussions and not found a solution.
    I really am stuck, so if anyone has any suggestions, I would really really appreciate them!

    hi drummerman!
    sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
    my hypothesis at the moment is that you've actually got three different rare problems all piled on top of each other.
    (1) a rare variation on the weird rare registry/user-account thing (in which itunes will open in one preexisting account but not in other preexisting user accounts). i've seen that new Error # 63441 (or similar error numbers) show up under those circumstances too.
    (2) a really rare sort of registry-related 1603. (i think i've only seen that about three times in toto.)
    (3) and to cap it off, that strange situation where the registry isn't allowing you to make any edits ... which would compromise the techniques i've seen used with some success against similar versions of 1 and 2.
    ... so we're going to be experimenting for a little while, trying to get some toeholds on the rock wall of progress.
    the first experiment is going to be related to confirming my diagnosis in (1) and trying to get around (3).
    head into your user accounts control panel, and try to create a new user account with full administrative privileges. (there's help documentation on that to the left of the control panel screen.) while you're in that control panel, switch off fast user switching in your logging-on preferences.
    now log out of whichever old account you were in, and log in to the new account.
    (1) does itunes launch successfully from inside the new account?
    (2) does the registry allow you to make any edits from inside the new account?
    keep us posted. (i'm moving a little slowly through reply backlogs and whatnot at the moment, but i will be back to check on your progress.)

  • Can't get itunes to download and I tried everything

    I have a windows 7 64 bit and in order to use my new i-pad, I had to update to the newest version of itunes (10.5.2).  The update wouldn't install, and I have spent about 6 hours trying all of the following (multiple times!!):
    updated and repaired .Net framework
    updated MS windows
    uninstalled itunes and all apple products
    deleted temporary folders
    cleaned out registry
    restarted computer
    I am currently getting the following errors when I try to install itunes
    During the publishing and product information:
    error during the install of assembly policy 80 microsoft VC80.CRT type "win32-policy". version="8.0.50727.6195 public key token="1fc8b3b9ale18e3b". processor architectureX86. please refer to help and support for more information. HRESULT Ox...
    If I say OK, then the install goes backward, then moves on and gives me:
    service "apple movle device" failed to start.  verify that you have sufficient privilages to start system
    If I ignore that, the when the installation is finished,
    Apple application support was not found.  uninstall itunes and then install itunes again.  Error 2 (windows error 2)
    I can't find what to do from apple or microsoft sites other than what I have already done.

  • Can not get ituns to play songs contiuously tried everything I can think of

    How do I get Itunes to play continuous?
    Was working fine but since last up grade can not get it to play continuously.

    Apps that you download from the iTunes app store only work on iOS devices i.e. an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch (and some apps don't work on all three) - they can't be used on a PC or Mac.

  • How to reinstall itunes without windows error 2

    how can i reinstall itunes without "windows error 2"

    Ah iTunes, how you make me lose my hair.....
    I got it working, but not before it imported all of the wrong stuff.  I set the Media Folder to precisely what I wanted it to import (all of my daughter's Top 40 songs), and then found the Music option "Add MP3 and AAC Files from your folder".  That seemed to be the correct option, so I clicked it.  Unfortunately, it didn't just stick to my folder, but went off on its merry way adding any song from any folder.  It dumped hundreds of ACDC and Aerosmith songs into iTunes (neither band is particularly stingy with F-bombs on live albums) into my daughter's list of teeny bopper titles.  When I tried to remove them from the iTunes library, it put up a scary warning that if I removed those songs it would delete them from every iDevice within a 5KM radius.
    There doesn't seem to be any way within iTunes of removing all songs from a particular folder or hard drive directory, which would have been nice.  In fact, I can't figure out how to show the filename anywhere within iTunes (isn't that a bit odd?).  So I manually removed the 2K songs it had imported, which took a good hour.  Then I found the File - Add Folder to Library option, and that one allowed me to select the folder I wanted to import.  I hate to say it, Apple makes great hardware products, but iTunes seems to come from an entirely different planet.

  • TS1368 I can't connect to iStores through iTunes on my Windows Xp machine. Everything is updated and I am getting message: We could not complete you iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202). Any suggestions??

    I can't connect to iStores through iTunes on my Windows Xp machine. Everything is updated and I am getting message: We could not complete you iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202). Any suggestions??

    I have the same problem PLUS I get the "Genius is temporarily unable to show you related music..." whenever I select a song. This occurs even when I log in as Administrator. Updating to 8.0.1 did not fix either problem.
    I can access the iTunes Store and download music. Genius had no problems uploading my iTunes Library info, and it can create playlists for selected songs. I believe this rules out communications and authorization problems. I have a G4 Mac Mini, a G5 PowerPC, and an Intel iMac with the same problem, so it's unlikely to be a Mac hardware issue. A firewall problem was unlikely (since I can access the iTunes Store), but I tested this with the firewall off. Both problems still remained. Updating Genius, turning Genius off and then on again, reinstalling iTunes 8, updating to 10.5.5, etc. did not work.
    The only unusual factor is that I have HughesNet satellite 'broadband.' I cannot see how that would matter, but perhaps the individual song iTunes Store and Genius features don't get along with something in my HughesNet 'modem.' Any ideas from other users?

  • Am getting Routine error  R6034. I can not open iTunes.  Windows Vista Home  64 bit

    For the  first time,am getting a routine error R6034. Do not let open my iTunes, and possible lost all my contents. Why is this happening, is it nothing  secure on the Internet no more even our music? Please  I appreaciate any good help. I tried to redownload am stil the same  message. During reinstallation.."Service Apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges. Options   ABORT,RETRY,OR IGNORE. That is what am getting.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I attempted to install an update to my iTunes and got a "C   Runtime Error" message. Now when I attempt to open iTunes I get a pop up that says to reinstall iTunes. But I can't open iTunes to reinstall it. How can I reinstall iTunes?

    I received notification of ANOTHER iTunes update being available, so I attempted to install the update on my Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista. During the update process, two pop-up announced that I had a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" Runtime Error, R6034 and another pop-up that states "iTunes" iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. However, I cannot open iTunes. I get the same pop-up telling me to reinstall iTunes.
    I had many songs in my iTunes library that came from sources other than iTunes, mostly my own CDs. Plus, I have nearly $100 credit remaining in the iTunes store. I'm converned I will lose the songs and store credit if I reinstall iTunes. So my questions are:
    1. How can I reinstall iTunes?
    2. If I reinstall it, will I lose my store credit and non-iTunes songs?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Nothing should be lost... However... it is both Prudent and Recommended that a backup should have been created and maintained.

  • I can't open iTunes in Windows 7

    I can't open iTunes in Windows 7 even I download the latest version.
    (iPhone is iOS 5.0.1)
    It's 64-bit Windows 7 and every time I clicked "Agree" in tthe software license, it doesn't work.
    Then the PC helping centre shows the following sentence:
    "iTunes can not work normally anymore.iTunes has the latest version to download, this will solve the problem.Apple Inc. suggest you to upgrade to newest version of iTunes, to improve the safety and stability."
    This shows for many times and I keep upgrade iTunes.How to  solve this problem?
    P.S. Sorry for any grammatical and spelling mistakes.The sentence is translated by me from Chinese, hope you can know what I mean.

    There are various things this could be. First restart you computer
    Check to see if you QUicktime works as iTunes can't work without it. If it doesn't work, describe what happens.
    Then run a virus and spyware scan as malware has been known to do this.
    Then check to see if disabling your forewall allows iTunes to start, this hasn't been seen for a while, but in the past firwall blocking has caused iTunes to hang.
    Then work through this Apple help on troubleshooting launch failures;
