Cant delete itunes

Hi,
For some reason I cant update my itunes from a 6.0 to the new 7.0. Everytime that I try to install the new itunes, it says "The folder path 'Program Files' contain an invalid character." So then I tried uninstalling itunes but then another message pops up that says "Error 1324. The path Program Files contains an Invalid Character." Can you please help me resolve my problem because I just got a shuffle and I cant load songs onto it without itunes. Thanks alot.

hmmm. has the drive letter of the drive on which your Program files folder is stored changed recently? (that can sometimes provoke a 1324 like this.)

  • No matter what I do I cant delete itunes from my computer so I can install newest software.

    no matter what I do I cant delete itunes from my computer so I can install the newest software?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Cant delete Itunes.dll  - install of update wont complete

    It often indicates disk/file damage rather than a permissions issue, Gian.
    Let's first try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's Windows 7 instructions in the following document. Select both "automatically fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you choose to go about things). You should be prompted to schedule the scan to run on restart. That sort of scan of the C drive should take a long time ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan:
    http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html (How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk))
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Cant delete itunes songs from my iphone

    my itunes songs have maxed out my storage and need to know how to delete from iphone4

    Howdy lynndan,
    You can remove songs from your iPhone by swiping the song, then tapping 'Delete.'
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • HT1923 When attempting a reinstall of iTunes, I cant delete the file C\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\Shellstream.resources due to same error message as described above for iPod file; however i can't find it anywhere in the Task Manage

    When attempting a reinstall of iTunes, I cant delete the file C\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\Shellstream.resources due to same error message as described above for iPod file; however i can't find it anywhere in the Task Manager

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    i drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones.... i can send them or post but nothing to delete them

    The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
    Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes.

  • I cant delet all the itunes files o my cp to download the

    I cant delet all the bonjur files to download the new. Itunes what do i do

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • I cant delete anything in my itunes as it just crashes

    since having itunes match , which im going to let lapse as its pretty useless and constantly loses its info and restores itself!  I cant delete any songs or movies without it crashing, i cant even turn it off.
    why is it the more apple add the less it works!!!!

    Hello,
    Please open Firefox in Safe Mode and test to see if the the problem still occurs.
    See here: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If the issue doesn't occur in Safe Mode then there is a good chance that an Addon or setting is causing the problem. Follow the instructions in the support article above to identify the add-on causing the issue and then disable or remove it.
    If the problem still occurs even when opening in safe mode then I suggest doing a Firefox Reset. Again this can be done by holding shift as you open Firefox (select 'Reset' from the options this time).
    A reset will return Firefox to its default settings. Your history and bookmarks will be saved but you will need to reinstall your add-ons.

    I hope that helps.

  • HT4993 Everytime i plug my phone into itunes it says it cant connect because the phone is locked well i restored my phone twice and set a new passcode the last time and it still wont work . I even deleted itunes and reinstalled it , it dosent work . HELP

    Everytime i plug my phone into itunes it says it cant connect because the phone is locked well i restored my phone twice and set a new passcode the last time and it still wont work . I even deleted itunes and reinstalled it , it dosent work . HELP PLZ !!

    I had the same issue. I tried everything unchecking / rechecking, formatting Iphone and restoring from backup etc etc.
    In the end it was a simple issue which might of might not help you.
    A number of months ago I relocated by Itunes folder to a NAS drive. It appears when I did the last I tunes update Itunes set the destination path of the Itunes media to the default location, the result was Itunes couldn't install music,apps, video until I set the correct destination path.
    The bit that confused me was it was transferring some media. This was of course the media I had downloaded since the last Itunes update which had gone to the default location.
    I hope that makes sense and is off some help.
