Cannot Install/Uninstall/Use iTunes

I have a problem with iTunes, a big problem. I cannot use it. When I try to access it, a message pops up saying 'This action is only valid for products that are currently installed'. However, when I plug my iPod in, iTunes comes up, but sychronisation doesn't work, and I can't do anything with it apart from listen to music.
I can't uninstall or upgrade iTunes - It says it's trying to access a network resource that is unavailable or something.
I can't install it to a different location - it wants something to do with an installion package - iTunes.msi?
I can't even install it to my memory stick - I have the same problem as if I'm trying to install to the C:/ drive.
Can anybody help?

This sounds like a problem that needs an installer cleanup:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instruction on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Cannot install/uninstall/use flash

recently i uninstalled flash in order to install a new version,
after this i discovered i could not install flash, and although
flash had been removed some animations could play,
furthermore the "about flash" or whatever ensured me that flash was still installed.
i uninstalled it through the control panel, a fatal mistake.
since then i have tried many times to use the flash uninstaller.
i have tried downloading special system tools.
i have searched and removed every folder and every registry entry
named "flash", "macromedia", "adobe" etc.
i have removed every visible trace of any adobe product just to be certain, with "Revo uninstaller".
i have uninstalled/reinstalled opera.
and i have then used a registry cleaner repeatedly.
i have looked through countless discussions to get help.
i cannot install any version of flash.
the "about flash" page still tells me i have flash installed.
is there anything more to do?
the only thing i can think of is reinstalling windows,
or buying a new computer.
or if someone let me know the location of every file
and registry entry associated with flash so i could remove them.

I should have mentioned that i have Windows XP,
using Opera, as mentioned.
i did not find any flash10x.ocx,
i did however find a few flash.ocx files
on various places, which i removed.
i also found and deleted
NPSWF32.dll
NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
and flashplayer.xpt
mentioned in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash
there must be some traces left in the registry
since the installer constantly fails to initialize.
i have tried disabling the firewall and antivirus
while running the installer.
and i have tried all the standard instructions.
The browser does not claim that flash is installed anymore,
but the installers still fail to initialize when they start.

Cannot install/uninstall iTunes 7.3

Installation stopped and I got this warning,
"Could not open key: HKEYLocalMachine\Software\Classes\.cda\OpenWithProgids"
Same message when I try to uninstall using add/remove programs.
Anyone know how to fix this? I cannot use iTunes or update my iPod.

"Could not open key: HKEYLocalMachine\Software\Classes\.cda\OpenWithProgids"
Even though you're not getting an error message number 1402 or 1406, the best place to start with an install problem citing that particular Registry key is the following document:
Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

Cannot install or remove itunes or quicktime from computer.

I'm trying to upgrade my iTunes and keep getting message that it resides is a network resource and is unavailable, then get message that
Quicktime.msi is invalid and I'm unable to locate a valid version on my system, Quicktime.msi does exist in the directory
I'm using for the installation. Attempts to remove iTunes or Quicktime using control panel and remove program results in
same error.
My iTunes is nonfunctional and has been since I first received this error.
I'd appreciate any assistance in resolving this as I'd really like to use iTunes.

your problem is with XP and your system and integrity of your drive.
never used XP
Run %TEMP% and delete everything there
do chkdsk

not only uninstall but then after restart look and see if all the progams are realy gone
run ccleaner and include registry clean
microsoft cleanup utility was very useful with such problems

I cannot seem to create a playlist. I am using ITunes windows version and I IPhone 6 plus. When I connect and sync. Using ITunes I select File-New-playlist is greyed out it will not let me create a playlist on my IPhone.

I cannot install the latest iTunes because Bonjour cannot be removed?

I've recently got a new iPod touch and I am having problems with downloading the latest iTunes. I go to click download, enter my details etc, and when it starts to download half way through a message box pops up saying 'The old version of Bonjour cannot be removed. Please contact your technical support group.' I tried uninstalling it through my programs, however it says 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavaliable, click OK to try again or enter a alternative path to a folder containing the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in the box below.' All I want to do is access iTunes on my laptop! How can I fix this problem A.S.A.P? Thanks a lot

'The old version of Bonjour cannot be removed. Please contact your technical support group.' I tried uninstalling it through my programs, however it says 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavaliable, click OK to try again or enter a alternative path to a folder containing the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in the box below.'
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the 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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

Cannot install/uninstall bonjour

I have as of recently been having this problem. I cannot uninstall or update bonjour. I noticed this once Apple released Bonjour 1.0.6 and Apple Software Update gave me a notice that there was an update for the program. I tried to install it and I am getting this message in a new window:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Bonjour.msi' in the box below."
This is the default source that is automatically typed in the drop down box:
C:UsersBrendanAppDataLocalTempIXP968.TMP
At first I suspected that it was put in wrong and I redirected the path to:
*C:\ProgramData\Apple\Installer Cache\Bonjour 1.0.105*
Then it says that that cannot be found. Then, I tried another spot:
*C:\Users\Brendan\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\bonjour.msi*
Still doesn't work. Then I tried uninstalling Bonjour from the Programs and Features link in the Control Panel and I get the same exact message.
How can I uninstall the program from my computer? Is there a certain tool that I can download that can help me remove this or does anybody have any instructions that I can follow to manually remove it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Will this cause problems on my computer? I've never used this tool, let alone ever heard of it. I skimmed over the web page from the link that you gave me but it seems like it could cause more problems than what I already have. Is this true?
Also, will this remove all the registry keys that iTunes/Quicktime/Bonjour created during/after installation? Will it also remove Safari?

I cannot install the new Itunes update on my PC

I cannot successfully install Itunes update to my PC. Error messages are: (1) an application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly;
(2) ituneshelper.exe tried to load the tuntime library incorrectly.
I have tried downloading, saving, and manually running Itunes64setup.exe as well as initially letting it run automatically. I also receive a message that Apple Mobile device failed to start correctly. I told it to ignore this.

Also consider the following approach. I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.

Cannot install/uninstall/debug my app

Hi,
when I was trying to install my app from Store yesterday, WP8.1 Silverlight app on Lumia 1520 with 8.1 Dev Preview, the installation got stucked and I had to restart my phone. After the restart
I can no longer install this app from Store, it always ends with the same error. I cannot even install this app from Visual Studio.
Error 6
Installation of the application failed. The application is already installed, or update or uninstall is running.
Note I can install and uninstall other apps from Store, another phone restart and Soft Reset has not fixed this. The app is also not listed in the installed app list.
I know that changing the app identity in manifest should work for deploying from Visual Studio, but the problem is here installation of the app from Store. I need to test the functionality of the actually published and that's not possible right now.
Is there anything I can do, is there maybe some installation cleanup utility or tool to use? Hard Reset is really not an option here since it's my primary device for daily use.
Thanks

How about a soft reset? Hold the lock button and volume down button at the same time for 5-10 seconds.
