Does downloading iTunes cause any viruses on my computer

^

iTunes comes from Apple, so always that you download it from the Apple site, you can be sure it won't come with viruses and it won't cause any problem.
However, be careful with the data you add to iTunes. If you download it from illegal sites, you may get viruses in your Mac, but they aren't an iTunes fault

    downloading itunes causes computer to freeze because of high computer usage...how do i fix it?

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    You don't need 10.5. Skip it and buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • Problems with Downloading iTunes and iPod software to my computer

    Just got my iPod...I continue to get the following error message when trying to download iTunes and iPod software to my computer: "Error 1406, Could not write value InstallDir to key \Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iPod\AppPaths. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key"
    Can anyone shed some light?

  • Does downloading Firefox or any other browser for that matter overwrite my existing IE browser or do I still retain the choice of which browser to use?

    Can I go back to IE if I don't like Firefox?

    Hi! :) Downloading Firefox or any other browser doesn't overwrite your existing IE browser or any other browsers' files. It's 100% safe and you can go back to your previous browser at any time (it's still there for you) or even have them both open and working. You can even install many other browsers :)
    They are separate programs and work independantly without any problems (like for example: MS Word and LibreOffice Writer or Winamp and Aimp or Winrar and 7Zip etc.)

  • Why does opening iTunes cause my screen resolution to change automatically?

    Recently opening iTunes started automatically changing my screen resolution.  When I close iTunes the screen resolution reverts back to normal.  Does anyone now why this is happening or how I can make it stop?  I am also unable to view my music library, ipod and contents, paylists etc.... in a column on the left side of iTunes like I used to be able to do.  Any help with that issue?

    I have tha same problem on the same Mac with CS6 Design Standard.
    And I don't know how repair it.
    Maybe does it happen for the switching of the graphic card from Intel HD to Nvidia GeForce?
