Downloaded itunes 7, but cannot get it to install

I recently downloaded itunes 7 because when I cliked on my shopping cart, it said I needed to download it in-order to continue using itunes. So I did, but now that I have, when I open itunes, it is still listed as itunes 5 (my previous version). I updated quicktime, but that didn't help either. Plus, the downloaded itunes 7 icon is just sitting on my desktop taking up space. Even when I click on that, it takes me back to itunes 5.

Try removing Quicktime from All programs. Remove iTunes from add/remove and any subsequent iTunes/Quicktime folders in C:Program Files. Your iTunes music is stored in another folder so you won't lose your music. Try reinstalling iTunes and see what happens

    Perfect, thanks.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT4623 when iOS7 was installed all apps purchased disappeared; now when I go to app store I can open app, but cannot get app to install onto the screen; How can this be accomplished?

    When i0S7 was installed on iphone all purchased apps disappeared.  Now when I go to app store I can open app, but cannot get app to install on phone.  How can I get apps installed back onto iphone screen?

    Press your home button, then scroll the home screen all the way over to the right. I found all my purchased apps were moved to a different home screen. Might be a similar issue.. let us know what you found out!!
    Cheers.

  • I have just upgraded my laptop from vista to windows 7, I have all my music on an external as the library is to large for hard disk. I have downloaded Itunes 11 but cannot  fathom a way of getting my new itunes to connect with my external library.

    Question:  I have upgraded my windows vista to windows 7, I have all of my itunes music stored onto an external due to the size of content, so in vista all of my music in itunes had a path to F (external library). But now I have upgrade to windows 7, I cannot get itunes to recognise my library from my external. I have tried to connect external and open itunes with shift key down with both suggestions but to no avail. please help, all I want is to keep my library on external not on hard drive. I have also gone to preferences/advanced and made sure the external drive is chosen. This seems so complicated and I thought it would have been easy...

    At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
    A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
    If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
    If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
    When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

  • Trying to download Itunes 11 but am getting a invalid signature which prevents the download

    HI I am having troble downloading the itunes 11 version. It stops right before it finishes and says invalid signature, then it cancels the download. What can I do? I tired going to tools and putting in download only but that had the same result.
    Thanks

    Your profile claims Windows XP, is that correct?
    Minimum system requirements for iTunes 11 is Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later.
    Does your computer meet these system requirements? Are you downloading iTunes directly from Apple?

  • HT2204 Changed e-mail address & Apple ID, verified by Apple. Itunes changed but cannot get Messages, Facetime or Icloud. Keep on throwing up old email address & won't accept new or old password.  Help needed!

    Changed e-mail address & Apple ID. Verified by Apple. Itunes & email working but cannot access Messages,Facetime & Icloud. Keep throwing up old email address & wont accept either new or old passwords. Anyone got a solution?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • HT204447 just downloaded itunes match, and cannot get it to work.  How do I cancel it

    I purchased itunes match in hopes that i could sync without connecting with computer.  I cannot even access it on my ipad mini, followed all installation instructions, and it does not show up.  I think I have had it for an hour and am just frustrated with it.  I am currently out of the country and wonder if that is part of the problem.  At any rate, I would like to cancel, and have not figured out how to do this.  Any suggestions...

  • I downloaded Photoshop Elements and cannot get it to install right.

    I have been having problems with installing my purchased Adobe Photoshop software for two weeks and I am little upset about it because I paid Adobe $85.00 for the software and it won't install correctly. I e-mailed the company about it and have never heard back from them.

    The Photoshop Elements forum has great volunteers who can get you through the setup.
    You might also want to know Customer Care has a chat or phone options if you have difficulty installing.
    Contact Customer Care
    The forums may be more accessible, but doesn't hurt to try both.
