Error when trying to re-install iTunes

I am getting the error quoted below. I cannot figure out how to correct it. First I could not open iTunes, I then un-installed iTunes. Now I cannot re-install iTunes. (I am unable to delete the problem files either) Spent 3 hours trying to figure this out.
"error writing to file: c:\programs\iTunes\iTunes.resources\genre-teen.jpg. Verify that you have access to that directory."

"error writing to file: c:\programs\iTunes\iTunes.resources\genre-teen.jpg. Verify that you have access to that directory."
That's consistent with disk/file damage, oko.
Try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's instructions and a guided help in the following Microsoft document:
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you reinstall iTunes now?

  • I have a stupid error when trying to re-install itunes

    after having an error with the apple mobile device support (1067) it wiped all apple programs from my computer and tried a re-install well i keep getting this error now im stuck with an ipad 2 and ipod that cant be synced at all.. and fyi i am not going to wipe my pc clean for some pos software.

    These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
    First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
    b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
    c. Perform the following actions
    i. Right Click on Components Folder
    ii. Select Permissions
    iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
    iv. Select Advanced Button
    v. Select Owner Tab
    vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
    vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
    viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
    ix. Select Apply
    x. Select Apply again
    xi. Exit the Registry Editor
    Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?
    If you're still getting the 1067 after that, try uninstalling any MegaUpload software on the PC. Does AMDS launch correctly now?

  • When trying to re-install itunes i get error HRRESULT:0x8007054F what does this mean?

    I am useless with technology and desperately need help!  When trying to re-install itunes i get error HRRESULT:0x8007054F what does this mean? I have followed step by step guide to de-install then re-install itunes as instructed when i couldnt connect my new ipad to my computer to synchronise it with my exisiting itunes account initially set up with my ipod. I successfully re-nstalled itunes but it wouldnt open and told me to de-install and re-install again.  This has repeated several times and now i get this error message. I dont know what to do next? 

    HRRESULT: 0x8007054F
    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 8007054F, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • HT204406 hi!!!! I keep getting an "error" when trying to activate my iTunes match. I get to the 1st step, then it gets stopped, and I get the error message. HELP!!!!!!

    hi!!!! I keep getting an "error" when trying to activate my iTunes match. I get to the 1st step, then it gets stopped, and I get the error message. HELP!!!!!!

    That's definitely enough to start.
    It sure seems like it should work...and then I saw that you're using a router. It could very well be that the router is the weak link here.
    Instead connecting to your network router, try using a direct USB connection from your MBP. If that doesn't work, you read this post, which may be relevant to your problem:

    It seems you're up to date with software. Post with your results.

    I get the following error when trying to use the itunes store "your apple id has been disabled".  My account was disabled when someone else had been using it without my knowledge.  I changed my apple id password and the apple id is still fine, but itunes has it disabled.  I verified that the computer is authorized for this apple id.  What to do now?

  • I get a error when i try and install iTunes!

    When i try and install iTunes i get this error
    Its really frustrating because i bought a 200$ iPod Touch and then i cant put music on it
    Any help wold be apprecated.
    Ive tried repairing all my .Net
    I have un installed and reinstalled all my Apple Related stuff

    Okay ... it's sounding a bit like you've got something stuck in your "pending update" machinery (the stuff that gets invoked when an update requires a restart). That can interfere with iTunes installs, although it's more common to see a lot of 8000FFFF errors in the Update History when that's going on.
    Rather than experimenting with 8000FFFF instructions, I think instead we should try getting you on the radar screens of some Windows Updates specialists.
    Try posting over at the Windows Update forums at Microsoft Answers:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_update
    In your post there, describe the error message you're getting when installing updates, and the other symptoms (otherwise updates are apparently okay, and so on).
    If the Microsoft Answers folks get you past the Service Pack message, can you then install the new iTunes version?

  • Receiving Win32 app error when trying to download latest itunes

    I am receiving the following error when I try to update itunes. .....Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\37LS4QDM\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application.
    I saw a previous post from someone with a similar problem. It was suggested that she update Windows XP and that solved the problem. I also have Windows XP and it is completely updated. I also tried emptying the files in the Temp Folder as suggested my another iTunes support page, but couldn't delete everything because two files were running and I couldn't figure out from what program. There were also folders inside the temp folder for iTunes, but I was afraid to delete them.
    Any ideas???

    Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\37LS4QDM\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application.
    hmmmmm.
    are you running the install "online" or are you saving the iTunesSetup.exe to your hard drive and then running the install by doubleclicking the installer file?
    are you connecting to a network (or directly to the internet) wirelessly?

  • Consistent 8007 error when trying to download from iTunes / App Store on my iMac.

    Hi I get a consistent 8007 error when trying to download on my iMac. Yet can download and it works fine via Apple TV. I'm also having issues downloading on the App Store. I've checked the date and time, firewall and everything else seems to be fine. I can't uninstall iTunes as am running OSX 10.8.4 and am not tech confident enough to run this via terminal. Help!

    I tried switching off Apple tv and when reconnected after 30 sec. Or so, it continued downloading

  • Running this hated Windows 8 and received the following error: Error 7 (Windows Error 32) when trying to re-install itunes. Any ideas or fixes? Thanks!

    Recently purchased a new desktop with windows 8 OS. Had no trouble downloading itunes intially and importing library from external hard drive. Old computer tha the external hard drive backed up was windows XP operating system. Then itunes was not working correctly and within a couple uses it would no longer open. Tried reinstalling/repairing and received this message when trying to re-open the  program:
    Error7 (Windows Error 32)
    Very frustrating!! I am really not liking the windows 8 OS. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about computers and just want to be able to access my music.
    Thanks in advance!

    The 7 can indicate trouble with one of the other related software components needed by iTunes (like Apple Application Support). So it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP

  • I get this error when I try to install iTunes 10.7: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indocate a problem with this package. The error code is 2203."

    I am running Windows 7 64bit. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and ran the installer. This message pops up, I click OK and the installation continues. Then, when I try to launch iTunes I get this: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)". I have also received this error message even when the installation hasn't had any problems. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted, repaired my .net framework,  uninstalled all components following the steps in Article: HT1923 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 all to no avail. It still won't run. It was working perfectly before I updated it to 10.7. After that it all went to crap. I even tried installing the previous version and still get this error message. Any suggestions?

    Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.
    Just in case, let's try the fixit from the following document:

  • Error When Trying to Restore from iTunes Backup

    I had to erase and re-install the operating system. I thought I had iTunes covered by burning an iTunes backup to a CD, but when trying to restore iTunes from the CD it will restore a few songs and then give an error message that it was unable to read or write to my hard drive. I looks as though it restored the music that I owned and put on the computer but not the tunes I had purchased from the iTunes store and not the playlists. I did not know enough to burn the /music file. Is there anything I can do to get the burned CD to restore?

    Contacts are not part of the backup. They are seperate and either you need to sync them with an email program such as outlook or use icloud mail,contacts, and calendars on the phone. Unless you did that then the contacts are gone.
