Do I need to reinstall itunes in order to upgrade my existing itunes to itunes 10.5

Sorry, but I don't understand the question. Upgrading to a new version of iTunes is in essence a reinstall, since it installs all the components of iTunes over the older version. Could you please phrase your question or explain your issue in more detail?
Regards.

ITunes is not installed properly. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes .

I have installed iTunes on my new Windows 8 laptop and I get the "iTunes is not installed properly. If you wish to Import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes."
I have worked with Dell technicians and we have re-installed iTunes numerous times. We modified the Registry by adding the Upper Filters key and we removed the CD player in Device Manager and allowed it to be automatically reinstalled by the computer. All of this failed.
Please help!

Hello ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand you've already uninstalled iTunes previously to troubleshoot this issue but make sure to follow the steps in the following article to remove iTunes and all of its components in the specific order listed.

Need to reinstall Itunes to import from CD??

After installing latest v ITunes it looks to install ok. However when launching I get shown in order to import from CD I need to reinstall ITunes. I have tried several times, tried the hints on the Apple website but none of them work....
Any ideas it's now driving me nuts???

As you've found out, since you've got a Canadian credit card you need to be in Canada and use the Canadian iTunes store.
iTunes itself is global, it's the country that you've got selected on the bottom of the store page that is the problem - click on the USA flag at the bottom and then chose Canada instead.

•"Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."

Hi, I would be greatly appreciated if anyone could assit me.
I have tried loading ITunes several times, each time I'm getting the same message :Warning iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish too import or burn CD's, you need to reinstall iTunes"
Additionally, the same error message appears despite having made changes to the registry editor.
Thanks

Hey there Timmzee,
I would suggest that you reinstall iTunes as a first step for troubleshooting this issue, keeping in mind that iTunes and related components must be uninstalled in this specific order:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
If you are still having issues with your iTunes installation after uninstalling iTunes in the correct order, use this article for further troubleshooting steps:

I need to reinstall itunes, but I want to keep my songs ticked and my playlists, is there a way to do this?

Long story short, itunes says I need to reinstall it in order to get audible books to work.
I would like to know if there is a way to do this without losing my ticks (when I've moved itunes before it just ticked everything) and playlists?
If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated, as if itunes does retick everything, it will mean a lot of tedious sorting for me.
Also when I reinstall will I have to have this itunes 11 thing, which I made the mistake of updating my sister's itunes to on the other PC?

tested this and it works
it's free
nothing needs to be installed on the ipad
but it needs to be installed on your computer and for it to work you computers needs to be running
and your router don't need to be netgear

Make a backup of your media and other important files.
Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
Restore your media and other important documents.
Install iTunes.
Try using search next time... this gets asked way too frequently.

TS1717 I need to reinstall itunes as I have a message saying that this copy of itunes is corrupted or not installed correctly. Is there a link to reinstall without losing all my music stored? Thanks.

Just reinstall iTunes. I done the same thing without losing my iTunes library.
BUT if you did lose your music follow through these:

In the near future, check through these (if nessessary):

ITunes was not installed properly. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes

With Windows 7 I have completely deleted anything that was associated with Apple, Help, Support, you name it. It was verified nothing Apple. Reboot took place. I reinstalled iTunes per instructions and once again I got the following:
iTunes was not properlyinstalled. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes.
Oviously something is amiss.

Having finally found a post to the same situation, I ran diagnostics and believe I have the same problem as this post. Here is the diagnostic report:
Microsoft Windows 7 Business Edition Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)
Hewlett-Packard HP EliteBook 8460p
iTunes 1.14.43

and so on...

Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
A search of these forums will show some threads.
I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

HT1926 When I open itunes, this message keep popping up, "itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall itunes".

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:

TS3299 iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes

I've installed iTunes 10.6 on my Windows 7 machine. Everytime I start it I get this message: iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes.
Reinstalling iTunes made no difference.
So I found this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3299 and updated the registry like it said and it still didn't work but it also had the effect of making my CD drive no longer work for anything, including playing movies. Before following those instructions I could read and write cds using Windows Media player. Fortunately, I had backed up my registry leaf and restored it.
So I've been trying to figure out how to burn a cd from iTunes for close to two months now with no luck. Does anybody know how to get rid of the above error message?
Thank you!
David

I need to reinstall iTunes after uninstalling it on a power book g4 with os 10.4.11

I need to reinstall iTunes 9 after uninstalling it on a power book g4 with os 10.4. The iTunes version 9.2.1 cannot run on my apple, I already tried.

You should update your system to 10.4.11 if you haven't done so (your title says one thing and your signature another)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170
- then you will be able to run iTunes 9.2.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056 - which should definitely run on 10.4.11 G4. It might be a good idea to run that updater anyway. Removing the built-in programs isn't a good idea and can sometimes upset your System. In extremis you may even need to reinstall from your original discs and then run the combo updater.
