Can't uninstall itunes to upgrade to 6.0!!

I used itunes for a few months now (version prior to 6.0) and i just got an ipod (5th generation). since this ipod requires 6.0, i put in the cd it came with to install it. During installation it says it "cant unistall previous version of itunes" and gives me error mesages 1714 and 1603 AND it "cannot find a file specified path or disk." I tried control panel to remove itunes myself but nothing happened. I'm using Windows XP. Anyone know why I can't unistall and upgrade to 6.0?

You may want to try to use the Apple Website to download iTunes. Make sure you save it to your desktop and install it from there instead of running it over the internet.

  • ITunes can't read my iPhone and now I can't uninstall iTunes. Help!

    One day out of the blue I was unable to sync my iPhone 4S on iTunes. I then updated my iTunes to the latest version 11.0.1.
    Error message then pops out when I opened iTunes "The software required for communitcating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repaire this for you?"
    I selected "Yes" and another error message appeared "The software could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices."
    However, now I can't uninstall iTunes because after it uninstalls till the last 1 second, an error message kept appearing "Error getting file security: C:\Program Files\iTunes\ GetLastError:5"
    I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit Operating system. And I've checked the file security for iTunes folder under Program Files and I'm the owner.
    Attached below are the error messages I've been encountering. Can some kind soul advise me? Because now I can't update my songs in my iPhone and it's becoming obsolete if I can't do anything with it.
    Thank you!

  • Can I uninstall iTunes as it is going to take 5 hours to update?

    Can I uninstall iTunes and reinstall  as it is going to take 5 hours to update? Will I loose everything?

    You can skip updating the iPad Software if you just want to sync it.
    The Software Update itself should take no more than 20 minutes to install, so it sounds like your internet connection must be quite slow as iTunes must download the update before installing it.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can't reinstall, can't uninstall (iTunes)

    Clicking on the iTunes icon doesn't launch iTunes, Windows says it doesn't exist! (oddly enough, clicking on a song file does launch iTunes, so how can it "not exist"? Stupid Windows...)
    So I tried reinstalling the latest version of iTunes (which I already have, but it "doesn't exist" >_> )
    Windows can't reinstall it because it says it can't uninstall the old version.
    Also, the "Add or Remove Programs" can't uninstall iTunes because it can't find some .msi file, which I have no idea what it's talking about.
    Here are some screen shots to help.

    With that one, let's try the following procedure.
    First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
    Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Use it to clear any existing iTunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC. (Launch Windows Installer CleanUp, find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of any leftover iTunes and QuickTime program files:

    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1925 Can't Uninstall iTunes from my Window XP machine

    The iTunes update site said nothing about uninstalling in a particular order. So I uninstalled the first component I came to in Control Panel which was "Apple Mobil Device Support".

I can't install the new version till I get rid of the old. Help?
