Please excuse the spelling. Its still not working, though. I have roped in the IT department to help.

My iPhone 4 has a cracked screen that I cannot see anything on it. I want to clear my pictures off of it before I sell it. I plugged it into my Surface RT, but I cannot download iTunes and I cannot unlock my phone. How can I get my pictures off my phone?

I have a cracked iPhone 4. It still works, but the body is cracked and I cannot see the screen. I want to get my pictures off before I sell it. I have a Microsoft Surface RT and cannot download iTunes, and I cannot unlock my phone because I cannot see the screen. Any suggestions?

The solution would have been to back up your photos to your computer before the screen broke.
It's too late now. But you'll know for next time.

Which exact model iPad? It would almost certainly state system requirements on the packaging.
From http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ the current model requires at least 10.5.8

Cannot download iTunes to PC with Windows XP and service pack 3. When I hit "download" it goes straight to the thank you screen but does not download anything!

Cannot download iTunes to PC with Windows XP and service pack 3. When I hit "download now" it goes stright to the "thanks for downloading" screen but downloads nothing.

I can't answer that. I'm just a user. Apple makes it decisions and does not share that with anyone here as you well know. Apple has also stopped supporting syncing contacts and calendar with the latest version of OS X, Mavericks. Users have to use iCloud. Many are not happy about that. Let Apple know how you feel here: www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

Hi Ash ...,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You may need to remove iTunes and all of its components and try to install again:

Cannot download iTunes onto my iPhone 4

I have an iPhone 4 and it does not appear to have iTunes installed on it.
When I first tried to find the iTunes app, I was initially directed to a page that said "Download iTunes".... but when I clicked on that link, I was taken to another page that described how wonderful iTunes was but didn't appear to have anything regarding downloading iTunes.
When I found another supposed link to "Install iTunes", the "iTunes Connect" window on my phone opens, I enter my password and get the following message: Your Apple ID isn't enabled for iTunes Connect. (2002)
I went to my Apple ID account and saw nothing about enabling my Apple ID for iTunes Connect. Then I find that iTunes Connect doesn't appear to have anything in common with trying to load a new copy of iTunes onto my phone. Very confusing to me.… I'm an all-Apple person now and this reminds me more of my days on a PC.
I have a feeling that I'm going to need to wipe and reinstall ALL the software on my iPhone? Yes?
Thx

You cannot download iTunes onto iPhone.
Apple has iTunes (an Apple Store front for purchasing music, movies, tv-shows, etc) built-in on all iPhones, no need to download.
The iTunes that you can download is either for your Mac or PC computers, not Apple mobile devices.
iTunes Connect is for Apps Developer.

Cannot download itunes to my pc after completely restoring

I need some "technical" support. My pc got a virus and had to be wiped clean. I thought I was starting over but everytime I try to download itunes back onto my pc I get an error that it cannot be downloaded due to the files from the old version. I didn't think I had any of these "files" left on here. So I am confused as to how I would get these files off so that I can download itunes.
The exact error reads "The oder version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."
Any assistant would be great!
Thank you!

Many thanks.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
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 Apple Software Update 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?

Cannot download iTunes 7.5

Cannot download iTunes 7.5. Getting message: "internet explorer cannot download iTunesSetup.exe from appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net. The connection with the server was reset."
Can you help please as trying to upgrade so that new nano can be loaded etc.

Hi,
Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the exact same problem & none of the options will work (save this file now, run this program now or download this file later)...either way i get this message:
Windows cannot open this file:
File: MSN9.downloadhost
To open this file, Windows needs to know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs on your computer.
(Then it gives me these choices)
Use the Web service to find the appropriate program.
Select the program from a list.
I can't seem to find solutions in either one of the two options. Can you help me? I had previously an older version of itunes installed w/o a problem but have since deleted all those files as well as quicktime in an effort to get the 7.5 version downloaded...unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have helped.
Thank you for any guidance!

Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

Hi..I went ahead and ran the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. I used it to remove "Adobe Reader 7.0.8." After doing this, I checked in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to make sure that AR 7.0.8 was gone, and it thankfully was. Then I deleted the WICU, ran CCleaner's registry cleaner, rebooted, and tried to install Adobe Reader 9.0. When I tried this, I got the following error message (this occurred during the time when the installer was "writing system registry values"):
*****ADOBE READER 9 INSTALLER INFORMATION
Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39 F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D535}\ProgID.
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.*****
What should I do now? Do I need to do something about the "permissions" for this key?
Thanks to anyone with advice...

Trying to download ITunes latest version on my Windows XP and I get this message "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files\ITunes. The installation cannot continue. HELP!!

Trying to download ITunes latest version on my Windows XP and I get this message: "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files\ITunes. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator." HELP?

Hello PamelaFox14,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you need to log in as the administrator to update the iTunes application properly.
Take a look at this article named:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
This section in particular:
1. Make sure you have administrator account access
To install iTunes or QuickTime software, you need to be logged in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure if you have administrator account access, you may find this Microsoft article helpful:
Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?
Otherwise, refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.
All the best,
Sterling

Cannot download itunes, error message says I am missing media accessibility.dll Can you help me?

I cannot download itunes on my PC. Error message says i am missing Media Accessibility.dll Can anyone help?

Hi, you may have resolved this issue already, but if not...
There should be one copy of MediaAccessibility.dll in the folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support (32-bit systems) or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support (64-bit systems)
If you can locate the file, right-click on it and select Properties, then on theDetails tab it should have File Version - 48.1.0.11. If it has a different version number then it is out of date and is likely to be cause of the problem.
Please search your Programs Files and/or Programs Files (x86) folders for all copies of the file MediaAccessibility.dll - Any other copies of the file in different locations are likely to be out of date, but might be called in error by an executable file in the same folder, thereby causing the error.
Should you find more than one copy of MediaAccessibility.dll could you please let me know in which other locations it was found. This will let us more effectively help others with the same issue by suggesting where they should look. If you have the correct version, in the correct place, then deleting any others should fix your problem. This is similar to the QTMovieWin.dll issue dealt with in the first box of the user tip Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If you don't have the correct version of the file then completely removing all components, deleting the named folders, and reinstalling as suggested in the second box of the user tip should work. You could try repairing Apple Application Support alone from the the Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs control panel first as that would be quicker, but only if it works.
