Duplicate instances of Itunes after install on my Dell Inspiron N7010

I attempted to download and install the latest ITunes 64 bit on my Dell Inspiron N7010 with Windows 7. The download is fine, but once installed, ITunes appears to write over my existing applications on my desktop, replaces the applications with the ITunes icon and if you click on each my ITunes library will display. Example, I had Adobe Acrobat on my desktop, once Itunes was downloaded and installed, the adobe icon is replaced with the Itunes icon and if you click on it, my Itunes library displays. I have a desktop folder with documents and images that was not written over. I have a shortcut to Roxio that was not written over. Microsoft Office was not written over. I downloaded and installed ITunes (not 64 bit) on another Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop (an older laptop with Windows Vista) with success. I checked settings on both and they appear to be identical. I also have a menu across the top of my desktop that is docked with a explorer icon and other accessories that was not affected by the install. Can someone help me with this? I have installed and uninstalled Itunes about 10 times, checking settings and each time I get the same problem. Thanks.

moved to correct topic.

  • I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7

    I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7.0.21

    I Have been using, Ipad for only around a month or so (Ipad 2), and it was only yesterday that i tried to use the Itunes. I first downloaded the latest itunes (10.7.0.21), and took backup of all my Ipad data.
    After this, I wanted to add some video to my ipad, as it was essential to add the same to My itunes first, I roceeded to do just that. I went through this command {File - Add File to Library}, and then went on to select the Video file. There's just a flicker, and then nothing happens at all - the itune screen remains, and there is no error message too. Whereas, I can easily add Audio Files.
    After this, I even downaload the latest Quick time (7.7.2), as I had read somewhere that the same is necessary. When I tried to open the Video file in Quick time, it did not open. After that I downloaded the codec DivX and DivX player. Though the Video plays in DivX, it refuses to open in Itune and does not play properly in Quicktime (slider moves, but sound and video is not there).
    Frankly, I am utterly confused.

    I do not know what to tell you. iTunes is working fine on my system. What don't you give a little information about your system and when this problem began on your mac.

    We cannot open iTunes after installing it. When we click on the icon the licensing agreement comes up and we click Agree but then nothing happens.  Each time we click the icon the agreement comes up.  We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but we have the exact same problem.

    Refer to steps to remove SC files here:

    Then proceed to repair your QuickTime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / highlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • Duplicate photos in "Collections" after installing IOS 7

    After installing ios7 yesterday, each automatically newly created photo "collection" contains some duplicate photos. How do I delete dups without deleting the originals that I of course want to keep? I tried to delete one as a test, and got a message saying it would be removed from all other photos links. This scared me...
    Thanks for your help,
    Lisa

    I noticed this too. I think one photo is being read from iCloud because it can't be deleted - or maybe it's a photo that was synced from my Mac. Haven't found a solution as to why both are displayed or how to fix it.

  • Duplicate songs in Itunes after Icloud setup.

    Once I subscribed to Itunes Match and it did a sync in Icloud, I found many duplicates in Itunes after that. They are identical. It even loaded two song files on the drive. If I try to delete one, it asks if I want to delete the song from Icloud too. If I say no, it just grays out the song but leaves it in Itunes. If I say yes then it will perminatlly delete them from Icloud too. Maybe just another way Apple gets you to keep puchasing the same songs over and over.
    Anybody know of a way to get rid of duplicates and retian what I purchased in Icloud?

    There is my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning tobackup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
    Depending on how you created the duplictates it may be possible to sort the exact duplicates display on date added and remove the duplicates added today, but there is a danger that you could have logical duplicates, in which case deleting the files could also remove your originals, or physical duplicates, in which case not deleting the files leaves the hard drive cluttered with copies. Read a bit of the thread before you decide.

  • Eror when trying to open ITunes after installing

    I get this error when I try and open iTunes immediately after installing it on my new Windows Vista pc. Please help.
    "The folder itunes can not be found or created and is required. the default location for this folder is in side the My music folder."
    HP   Other OS   Vista

    "The folder itunes can not be found or created and is required. the default location for this folder is in side the My music folder."
    the interesting complication here is that you're getting this in Vista, rather than XP. since it's typically associated with a Registry problem on the PC, i'd proceed with extreme caution if you tried to adapt the standard techniques. (i'm honestly not sure if TweakUI is even compatible with Vista.)
    anyhoo, all these caveats being mentioned, the standard place to start with one of these in XP is with the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... and, in XP, the standard thing to try if you run into the complication where My Music doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI is the alternate procedure from this Nigel Carpenter post:
    Nigel Carpenter: re: Itunes problem
    whether or not these work in Vista will depend on how the registry is structured there. if any expert on cross-OS Registry comparison could weigh in at this point, i'd be most obliged.

  • IPad 2 won't connect to iTunes after installing iOS7

    After installing iOS7 wirelessly, the connect to iTunes logo pops up. I'm currently just using my iPad as a web browser/e-book reader so I really have no care to what happens to any of my music and apps so I didn't back it up. Also, my current laptop doesn't have iTunes on it since my brother and I swapped laptops because I had to reinstall Lion on my Mac, so I had to donwload and install iTunes.
    I tried the sleep/wake + home shut down and holding the home button after connecting to the usb and it still doesn't work. Then I tired running diagnostics, it said that it can't connect to the internet (eventhough here the ef I am) and there are no USB ports (eventhough here I am effing using my working usb wireless mouse).

    Hello LaGeas,
    The following article contains information and tips that can help get your iPad to work with your computer.
