iTunes stopped working today. Rebooted, nope. I can't uninstall iTunes Windows (and reinstall a newer version because it indicated that Windows (7) it can't find itunes64msi.
Please advise

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from here (use one of the links under the thingy):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I can't install or uninstall itunes.  Says the iTunes.msi file is not a valid file.  My iTunes started acting odd after having the Windows XP virus.  I got ride of the virus, but then the repercussion of having it have wrecked havoc.

    An error pops up saying that the file isn't found and then when I link it to the file, the error says it isn't a valid itunes.msi file.  I had iTunes on my PC but it won't work properly so I am trying to re-install or update it.  Neither works.

    So I tried installing it and when I did it stopped at a certain point, giving me a message about "not being able to write to the file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\ iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\ipodsettings.nib\objects.xib"
    problems with language resource files and folders (i believe that's one of the French ones that you're having a problem with) are often produced by disk damage around the areas of the files in question.
    so perhaps let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive. see:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? if so, does the uninstall or reinstall go through any better afterwards?

  • Can't uninstall itunes Windows 7

    Hi everyone,
    I downloaded iTunes (11.0.3.42) the other day but it wouldn't open (specific error message: "iTunes was not properly installed.  If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes).  I think what happened is that I inadvertently installed the 32-bit version of iTunes but I am running the 64-bit version of Windows 7.  After first trying to repair the installation (which didn't work), I next tried to uninstall iTunes so I could download the correct version. The uninstall hasn't worked - the specific error message I receive is the following:
    "Error getting file security: \\kermit\home$\eparsons\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\GetLastError: 50"
    Can anyone help?  Thanks so much!

  • When i try to open the itunes store in itunes,windows closes it after not finding a solution for the problem.I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Itunes software. I am running Win 7-with IE10-any help?

    When I selected the Itunes store on my win PC today-the program was closed by windows with windows saying there was a problem. I tried a couple of times and then uninstalled the itunes software and reinstalled it with the same results. The program has always worked before but I have not used it recently since the Ipad now receives it's software updates right off the router. I am running Win 7 with IE10. Anyone with the same problem?

    My post has been viewed 24 times, and yet have had no answers. I have always like adobe products, however if this is the type of support they offer, I will never purchase another product of theirs. The issue I am having is the same issue many others have had, and yet no answer. Poor customer service!

  • My iTunes window says "old iTunes".

    Is this the same as the "previous iTunes Library" problem?
    All was well until I moved the library to an external hard drive. Now all the songs are there, it's just that the iTunes window itself is called "old iTunes" and I can only imagine what trouble this might cause down the line.

    The iTunes window takes its name from the folder where the library is located. This post has some ideas for you: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605#17457605

  • Can not open iTunes - window says "...created by a newer version of iTunes.

    ITunes will not launch....I've been using iTunes with the same settings for over a year. Suddenly today I go to launch iTunes and get the message: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. How do I fix this so I can get back to using iTunes. I need it desperately for work.

    I don't know if this works with Windows, the error occurred on my MAC and I poked around the iTunes folder because I didn't want to be forced to reinstall iTunes.
    If you have a folder "Previous iTunes Libraries" under your iTunes folder, you are in luck. Inside that folder is a backup of the last iTunes Libraries. If you copy that into your iTunes folder, rename the current iTunes Library, then rename the file you copied to iTunes Library, it will open - at least it did for me.
    Good luck!

  • After updating iTunes windows says problem exists and closes program

    I installed the new update 11.2 etc and now when I open iTunes a windows box pops upand says there is a problem and closes the
    program.  Now I can't even get to any of my music.  I am afraid to uninstall and re-install because I am not technically saavy.  I did
    go to the Programs listing and hit Repair and even after that it won't work.  What a mess.  I haven't been able to use the Burn Disc
    for quite a while now.  Should I just take my computer in for repair? PLEEEEEZE ANSWER.

  • My ipod nano (2nd generation) will cont connect with windows or itunes, windows says it has had reported errors??? any help? havnt used ipod in over a week and now it wont work with my computer

    my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont connect with windows or itunes, i used it last week (charged it through USB) then this week when i connect it (once again through USB) it wont work, it says "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems" any help? ive made sure my itunes is up to date, done a reboot on my computer and ipod and still nothing..help please

    This could either be a conflict with the iPod's docking port, the iPod's USB sync cable, or even the USB port you are plugging the iPod into on your PC.  So the first thing I would try and do is plug the iPod into a different USB port on your PC.  Make sure it's a high powered USB 2.0 port as they provide a higher power throughput than older USB ports or even the ones that are sometimes available on the front of the tower.
    It might help to disconnected all other USB devices from the PC (minus the keyboard and mouse) and reboot the PC. Then reconnect the iPod once again.
    If still no luck, swap out the cable with another known working cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged or faulty cable.
    Lastly, plug the iPod into another PC to see if it's recognized there.  If the same error appears on another machine, it's likely a hardware issue with the Nano meaning you'll want to have it serviced or replaced.

  • How can I uninstall iTunes from my PC and update my iPhone software?

    I've been trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.1 to the newest version but I've encountered problem after problem.
    First when I tried to update it through iTunes it said 'it cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable at this time'.
    Now when I connect my iPhone to my laptop it says 'iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again.'
    So when I got to the control panel to uninstall iTunes it says 'the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your personnel for assistance.'
    I've been looking for a solution for hours and cannot find anything, I tried one solution which involved Regedit but it didn't work.
    Can someone please please help me? I'm beginning to loose my mind!

    You should be able to uninstall iTunes by going into Control Panel on your computer, finding iTunes in the list of your installed programs, highlighting it, and clicking Uninstall at the top of that list.

  • 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?

  • Importing to change .wav to mpeg: can't find 'em for emailing

    I have been downloading recordings I've made and used the preferences/advanced/convert from wav to mpeg route, but I can't find them anywhere in the Finder so I can attach them to smaller files to email...
    Is there another way to accomplish the same thing? How do I find these files?

    I can find the .wav files in the Finder window-actually, both wav files show up--the original where I downloaded it, and in the new spot in the iTunes folder. BUT: No mpeg file is anywhere, according to my search as well as spotlight's.
    The "Library" folder is a database file--and the music files are in the iTunes Music folder. The terms can be misleading. Where my recordings import to from my downloaded file folder (not in the iTunes system) is into the "iTunes Music/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album." This folder name does not appear in the iTunes playlist or anywhere else in the iTunes window, BTW.
    I cannot find any connection between the iTunes window and the file format information either--the extension doesn't appear there at all, so I would not know if the wav or mpeg file is being played back.
    The "Show in Finder" shows the highlighted song in a finder window, correct: but as a wav file. There has to be a missing step somewhere in the import process that I am unable to find on the computer, even after setting the import option to mpeg. I have read what I can find on the subject--thanks for trying, hope you can fill in the gap!

  • I've lost my complete iTunes window

    I've had iTunes installed for at least a year, and I've never had this happen. Just now when I turned my set on and clicked on the iTunes icon, a little window about 1" X 4" appeared on my screen. This window contained only one song, although it was possible to go backward and forward on the iTunes song list. I don't want a one-song window, I want what I've had since I installed iTunes: a window showing all of the songs in my iTunes librry.
    I've tried closing-out iTunes, and I've tried turning my computer off and on, but it doesn't help. When I come back, I'm faced with that little, unwanted window. How can I restore the full iTunes window?

    According to Mac (Finder) Help:
    "The three buttons in the top-left corner let you
    close, minimize (shrink), and zoom (enlarge) the
    window."
    Shirley
    Okay, Shirley, I guess I'll just have to expand my definition of "enlarge". What you helped me do was to perform a transformation rather than an enlargement, at least the way I see things. I had one little window devoted to one little song and then I had the whole ball of wax.THAT'S an enlargement! No it isn't, that's a transformation, that's a galactic shift. In any event, it is what it is, and I'll keep it in mind in the future. Thanks for the explanation.
