Cannot run iTunes install

I am desperatly trying to install iTunes on my pc...I downloaded iTunes and attempted to install - I get the little box from windows installer saying 'preparing to install' and then it goes away never to be heard from again. That is as far as I get in my install.
I thought I would try installing quicktime seperatly to see if it would help but I have the same issue with quicktime.
I am running Win2K sp4 - made sure I had every update done...
Please help!

hmmmm. okay, let's first try working through the general troubleshooting advice from this document:

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I have had itunes for years, but up until 2 months ago the quick time will not initialize to run it.

    Try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and delete the iTunes installer. Then try installing iTunes again

    That is unfortunate.
    If you actually desire help, try providing some specifics of the issue such as any errors that may be occurring.

  • Missing required files (cannot run iTunes)

    Hey guys, every time I finish installing iTunes and try to open it, I get an error saying "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes"
    I've un-install/re-installed/fixed iTunes but the same error message appears whenever I try to access iTunes (as a result of iTunes not being able to work, iPod acts like a regular flash drive; i.e. plug in, and it'll open folder, not iTunes)
    I've tried looking around for some sort of quick fix, but nothing covers my situation (and I've tried other fixes not for my particular case, but they don't work either)
    Any help/input is appreciated.

    This is kind of irritating; is there a proper support center or something whom I could contact and get feedback on this issue?
    Your iPod allows you "one complimentary support incident, which must be used within the first 90 days of product ownership." You say you've had your iPod for a month but I'd suggest you hold off using the freebie for a little while and see if we can figure something out here. For a couple of reasons: One, you'll have the complimentary incident available for another couple of months ... just in case ... and two, I don't know if they'd come up with a solution right off the bat.
    For the time being can you try running just QuickTime - which iTunes make use of in doing its job - on your computer and let us know how that goes. If it fails to start, report any error messages you get.
    Also, you might want to run through the General Installation Troubleshooting section of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.

  • My computer cannot run itunes 10 how do I use the itunes store

    I have itunes already but my computer is on the old side. I cannot access the itunes store to get new podcasts because it prompts me to download itunes 10 which I cannot run! What should I do?

    I have 10.4.11 and I already have itunes 8 I just want to access the store. is the only way to install that version of itunes. I have noticed that a lot of other people have posted this problem but with no help (for those of you looking to get best answers)

  • I cannot run Itunes...

    This has happened at least three times in the past month...I have had to uninstall and reinstall itunes to fix the problem, but I don't like doing that...luckily for me, I save my music on my desktop. This is the message I keep getting..."You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open. Ask the other user to quit the application, then try again...". The thing is, there is no one else here and although I do have a network, my son is the only one on it and he is not running itunes. Please can someone help...I am at my wit's end with this silly thing! Thanks in advance!!

    Could your son possibly have an instant messenger widget/plug-in installed that shows "now playing..."
    That could auto-launch itunes in his account.
    There is also a setting in itunes to auto-launch if an ipod is connected.
    Another thing to look at, open task manager
    Ctrl + Shift + Esc
    Go to the Processes tab and check the box to "show processes from all users".
    Sort on the *Image Name* for the processes so they will be in alphabetical order, and find itunes.exe
    It should look something like this, and show what account has itunes open:

  • No digital signature, cannot run itunes 7.0 setup???

    My daughter's new nano requires a new itunes download, which we did. Our computer rejects it because the file comes without a digital signature. I've disabled part of my security system and actually got the logo to come up but I click, it acts like it is going to do something and then nothing happens. How do I install 7.0 to run her new nano? Do I have to? Can she just use our old itunes (although it won't recognize the nano) to load music? Help!!

    You probably should ask this question in the "Installing iTunes for Windows" forum. Here's the link.

  • After latest itunes update, cannot run itunes: get error MSVCR80.dll is missing. What to do?

    Tried uninstalling all apple programs, and downloading and reinstalling itunes. But itunes did not install correctly, and it tells me to reinstall. And if I click on the itunes icon I again get the error message than MSVCR80.dll is missing. (This is on my Windows 7 machine.)

  • CPU crashed. New CPU running itunes installed, Ipod has all data- won't

    I have a 30g ipod. 5 gb used right now.... Problem I can't get my Ipod to update my fresh install of iTunes. iTunes library empty- all data on ipod. Can it be done???

    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    If you haven't already done so, change the update setting for your iPod to manual. If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are quite cheap these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • Cannot run iTunes anymore.  Receive Runtime Error R6034

    I've got the pre-Vista Windows operating system, and suddenly I get this error message re ".. iTunesHelper.exe .. has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."  I see some downloads on the internet to fix this, but I don't know if they're safe.

  • Unable to update, deleted and reinstalled Itunes and my Pioneer DVR 218-L will not run. Install corrupted driver. Have tried to delete and reinstall 3 times 11.1.64 and not working?

    I recently attempted to " update " iTunes and received the missing .dll and Windows error message it seems everyone is posting. I had to delete  not only Itunes, but the Apple update and other associated file in order to get my Pioneer DVD DVR 218-L to work. The driver would not work and Microsoft had no fix for this. It told my registry was corrupt. Apple should certainly fix this problem. Now I cannot run iTunes at all unless I do not want a functioning DVD drive?

    I am having the same issue with Vista 64 bit: After many failed download attempts ("network error") the Progress Bar briefly appears and that's it.
    Searched for solution that led me to running "Microsoft FixIt", deinstalling iTunes, Apple Software Update, Mobile Dev Support, Bonjour, and Application Support - even manually deleting common files that were left over (tough with Vista). No difference. FYI, I was able to get rid of the Apple folder in Program Files (x86)/Common File, but not in Program Files/Common Files ... but that shouldn't make a difference as I am installing iTunes64Setup.exe, right?
    I even tried iTunes 10.7 and 10.6.3 from Apple's support page ... same differnce.
    Had a lot of security updates on 1/22/14 (all related to Office 2007 (including SP3), though). So I tried to restore past this point, but an "unknown error" occurred and I am stuck where I am ... lovely.
    So now my system is chopped and I seem to not be able to get iTunes even close to my computer ... :-(
