Error code 2738 when trying to download iTunes 7.3

I have been reading the forums for the last couple of days and I know this is a common problem. I have tried to log on as a different user (one suggestion), and turning off my vista firewall and removing 7.3 and installing 7.2, but nothing is working. I just bought an iPhone and am having to use Windows XP on a friends computer to do anything with it.
My best guess is this is a compatability problem between iTunes 7.3 and Vista (because 7.3 DOES work with XP), but I am now completely stuck. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Actually, it's Visual Basic Script (VBScript) on your
computer that is causing the problems, not iTunes.
To get this running, you simply have to re-register
VBScript. Follow the steps in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304405.
That should get it going properly.
Thanks for the help - I think we are on the right rack...unfortunately, when i input the string into the command prompt I get a new error - 'the module "vbscript.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegister failed with error code 0*80004005.
Any suggestions for this new problem?
Thanks in advance

Error code 2324 when trying to download iTunes for windows 8.

I started by trying to update my iTunes, and was given an error message and was unable to open it. I've deleted/uninstalled it, each time I try to reinstall it or download it again, I get the error code 2324. I have no idea how to proceed or what I am doing wrong, please help!

Let's try the fixit from the following Microsoft document with that one:
Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled

I keep getting error code 2324 when trying to download itunes 10.7.

Everytime I try to download itunes 10.7 I get error code 2324. Can anybody help with this situation? I'm trying to sync my new iphone 5 but I can't without updating my itunes, but I can't update my itunes, so please help!

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?

Error code 2738 when trying to install itunes 8 and quicktime

I've had itunes installed on my laptop for some time but received a new ipod nano for xmas. When I went on to my current version it said that the nano needed me to upgrade to itunes 8. I downloaded the software but towards the end of the installation procedure it says there has been an error 2738 and that quicktime hasn't installed properly.
can anyone help with this problem?
many thanks.

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80070BC9, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

I am getting the same error, and have been, since the last iTunes update. Driving me crazy, as some podcasts download without issue, others won't download at all, and get the 3250 error code.

I get error message -42408 when trying to download itunes update 11.0.2 and I therefore can not update to that latest version. What can I do?

Hey there davidgor2!
I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

It's a better bet with a 2330, but the first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.

Error code 0x80092013 when trying to access iTunes store

I currently have the lastest version of iTunes unstalled on a Windows Vista PC. For a few months now, I get the error code 0x80092013 when trying to connect to the iTunes store or log in to my iTunes account. I have tried to run diagnostics but there is no help availavle because iTunes will not connect to the internet to get the help I need.
I have scoured the interent for a solution to this problem and have tried everything I have come accross, from re-installing to reading every support page I can find. I am becoming so frustrated trying to fix this problem, it is not my apple ID as my iPad works perfectly fine. If anyone can give me a solution that actually works it would be greatley appreciated

After some research I found the following tip to be working:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25038447#25038447
So I changed my IPv4 as well as IPv6 DNS-Servers under Windows Network Preferences and everything worked again.

Just doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Keep getting "Error code 600" when trying to open itunes.Lost my tunes??:(

I left my computer on for a couple of days and had closed down itunes. when i tried to open it back up the " error code 600" came up and i cant get to my music. can anyone help me!

wmv is a Windows Media format. I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
You need
Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
or play the files with VLC
VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
While you're at it you might install:
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

Error code -69 when trying to sync iTunes and iPod

When syncing to iTunes, I receive error code -69, and will not complete the sync. Please help. Using Windows XP.

Error -69 means the song/s that was selected for syncing is un-usable, there should be an error message that tell you which song is un-usable or corrupted. You have to re-download the song from the source or delete it.
If re-download still does not work, convert it using iTunes to iPod version.
Or select the song ,
click Advanced on the top Menu
Select Create iPod version.
Then sync again
Good Luck!
