Failure installing iTunes

I try to install itunes on my windows computer and it says it cannot find the K: drive.
Of course it cannot find my K: drive because it is a USB memorystick that I sometimes use.
What does iTunes need my memorystick for??
After this the installation stops and that is it!
So what to do in this case.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having this problem, too. So are some other people.
Can anyone help us?

  • Cannot install iTunes - failure to run preupgrade script

    I get the error message 'failure to run preupgrade script for AppleMobileDevice' when I tried to install itunes. Have tried the steps at this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747 - but still no luck. Any ideas how I can resolve this?

    Hey, thanks for your reply!
    I'm trying to download iTunes 10.5. The software requirement says it needs OS X 10.5 or later so I should be able to right? (I'm on 10.5.8)

  • Kindly assist with repeated failure to correctly install iTunes on Windows7 Professional. Thanks. Bobby

    Could I please be assisted with recurrent failure for iTunes to install correctly on my Dell desktop running Windows7 Professional? Thank you. Bobby

    Well, I found a workaround for my issue. It's described in this article:
    [url="iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop"]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836[/url]
    By disabling the "Sandard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" in device manager, my iPod was correctly recognized and I was able to sync with iTunes. That's the good news.
    The bad news is that: a) Windows warns me that my "device can operate faster if connected to a USB 2.0 port" - and the sync with iTunes runs slowly; b) if I reanable that USB device (as suggested in the Apple article, my iPod is no longer recognized.
    For now, I'll just disable this device when I need to sync, then reenable it when done. But this is going to be a pain. I really don't consider this a fix. It's really annoying that the iPod is the only USB device that requires this kind of nonsense.
    Looking forward to a "real" fix for this some time soon.

  • Failure to install iTunes

    Everytime I try to install iTunes on my Windows XP, the installation stops near the end and comes up with a message saying;
    "The installation was interrupted before iTunes could be completely installed. The system has not been modified."
    It said to re-install it later, but ive tried this many times and with many versions of iTunes but for some reason it still wont work. I've also removed my previous version of Quicktime from my computer to see if that will help but unfortunately it hasn't. So i have no way of getting music onto my Ipod nano, i hope someone can give some useful advice
    Thanks

    hi Missi!
    okay, let's try getting some additional technical help with this one.
    let's try getting a installer log to someone who can interpret installer logs.
    Start menu -> Run... In the text field of the dialog that comes up, type in "cmd" and hit return.
    In the command prompt dialog that comes up, find the iTunes installer on your desktop and drag it to this window. Then on the same line type in a space and then the following:
    /Verbose"c:\log.txt" /V"ENABLE_QTLOGGING=TRUE"
    There is no space between the e in Verbose and the double quote ("). There is no space between the V"Enable...
    Hit return.
    The installer will create two log files:
    C:\log.txt and C:\qt.log
    Find those files and send them to this email address Put the URL to this discussion thread into the email, so that the person who gets it has some context. Let them know the version of itunes you’re trying to install, too … in general, give as much info as you can.
    love, b

  • Failure to install iTunes 7

    When ever I try to install iTunes 7, I get this: "Error 1905.Module C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTOControl.dll failed to unregister."
    This is followed by several more error messages that are the same except for "QTOControl.dll" is replaced with several other file names.

    I wish I had gotten error messages like that. At least you don't have to deal with the SEVENTY BILLION problems that iTunes 7 will bring you.
    Grr...
    P.S. Don't install 7, it's pure trash.

  • Can't Install Itunes on Windows 7 64-bit due to unwanted updater

    OK, so I've known for years that Apple puts a WHOLE lot of crap on your computer when you install Itunes.  It asks you specifically if you want to automatically update Apple software, and no matter how hard you click the NO box, it puts the apple updater there anyway.
    I just purchased my first piece of Apple hardware, namely an iPod touch, and due to this failure of Apple to respect my software wishes, it turns out I've wasted my money because the Apple Software Updater fails to install due to security restrictions.
    I run the Itunes installer as administrator.  I have given full rights to my logged in Windows user to every folder related to Apple in the Program Data folder.  I have spent a couple of hours trying every fix that is availalble in the Apple forums and the Microsoft forums, to no avail.
    Seems to me the BEST fix is for Apple to drop the arrogance of forcing me to install the Apple updater in the first place, and trust me to know when I want to download a newer version of Itunes.
    This is not the first time I've seen this happen with 64-bit versions of Windows.   My guess is that I'll have to extract the Itunes app from the itunes.exe installer, and hopefully be able to install only the software I want.  But at the moment I'm kind of peeved that I have to jump through those hoops, and of course, it's entirely possible that won't work at all either.  And of course, without iTunes, the iPod touch is completely useless.

    Are there any special charaters in your user name? I know that has caused issues in the past. You might need to contact Adobe support for this one.

  • Error Message when installing iTunes 10.7

    Everytime I try to install the 64 bit version of iTunes I get the following error message:
    Error message: 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32".version="8.0.50727.4053".publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture="amd64"'.
    I do have a 64 bit version computer. That is not my problem.  This has been happening for over a year now.

    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? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • Just installed itunes but when i try to open it this error message pops up: "apple application support required." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works

    Just installed itunes but when i try to open it this error message pops up: "apple application required" then it suggests uninstalling and reinstalling which i've done a few times but nothing works

    When you say you have tried everything, it would help if you told us what you have tried to avoid duplication.
    When you installed iTunes did you get any error messages?
    Anyway, on the face of it it may be worth trying a separate install of Apple application support.
    Uninstall iTunes again. Now open Apple Software update, assuming it is working.
    It should offer to download iTunes. Don't do it yet, go to the Tools menu and select Download only.
    Then download iTunes. Then go to the tools menu again and select Open download folder and you should see a collection of six files.
    Before going on, can you get to this stage OK?
    One further thing I would like you to check, are you ahving any problems with Windows updates? Could you check in Windows Update to see if there are any failures.

  • Can't install iTunes after deleting prior corrupted version of iTunes

    Hi there, I'm hopeful someone can help me out with this vexing problem. I noticed after recently installing the newest version of Quicktime several weeks back that my iTunes would crash whenever I tried to open the iTunes Music Store. Growing weary of that issue and not being able to resolve it on my own after fully using Onyx, I decided to delete iTunes 6.0.4 and simply install it again. After I deleted the corrupted iTunes, I checked to make sure my music was still in its library (it was, but the icons had all changed to Quicktime icons) and then installed iTunes from downloading it from the Apple website.
    I was able to download iTunes 6.0.4 from the website. I installed it and that seemed to go well and I then restarted the machine and then went into the Applications folder expecting to see the new iTunes icon there, but it was not! I did a Spotlight search for the new iTunes and it could not be found anywhere on the machine! I did not know how to explain/understand its failure to exist since I had gone through the complete installation procedure and then restarted the iMac, but, I thought I will just try it again and see what would happen. This time, I installed it from the iLife '06 DVD and again, the whole installation program ran fine and I then restarted the machine and opened up the App. folder expecting to see it, but, once again iTunes was missing. Spotlight still cannot locate the program. I know that I have correctly installed the darn thing at least twice but I can't seem to locate the program! Moreover, when I click on some of my music icons, the song will play through Quicktime, not iTunes...I just don't know what to make of this, can someone knowledgeable about iTunes please guide me through this mysterious re-installation process? Thank you very much for reading and hopefully lending a virtual had! Cheers, Mike in California

    Although it looked like iTunes was installed, I doubt it was.
    Your Spotlight search does confirm that.
    Open ./Library/Receipts and trash the 'iTunesX.pkg' and the 'iTunesX 6.0.4.pkg' files.
    Try installing iTunes again.
    If you only install iTunes, there's no need to restart or even to log out and in.
    After the installer is ready, take a look in your Applications folder.
    I'm confident you will find the iTunes.app there.
    Hope this helps.

  • Installing iTunes on Vista 64-bit

    *Looking for 64-bit support from Apple*
    I'm running the 64-bit version of Windows and was disappointed to find out that Apple does not support it (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301 ). I tried to install iTunes anyway and the installation failed. This forum didn't provide any initial solutions that I could find so now that I've figured it out I thought I would post a solution for those that come looking.
    *How do I know if I have the 64-bit version of Vista?*
    Press the windows key and the Pause/Break key at the same time (the pause/break key is normally in the upper right corner of the keyboard). On the window that appears look for the label "System Type." next to it you will see text indicating whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vista.
    *What Will happen if I try to install Vista?*
    You experience may varry, but when I tried the installation ran for a while and ended with a message saying Quicktime could not be installed. I checked the Programs menu and iTunes was not listed after this failure.
    *How do I successfully install iTunes on a 64-bit edition of Vista?*
    When you download iTunes select the option to save the installation instead of running it immediatly. After the download completes right-click on the installation and select properties. Under the "Compatibility" tab check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for." Ensure that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected. Also check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator." Click on okay and the install iTunes.
    *Will this also work for XP 64-bit edition?*
    I don't know.
    *I've successfully installed iTunes on my 64-bit machine. Can I use it to activate my iPhone?*
    No.
    If you try to activate your iPhone you will receive a message saying "Please connect iPhone to a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows XP (SP2) or Windows Vista."
    *What happens if I set iTunes to run in Compatibility mode*
    iTunes will detect that it is running in a compatibility mode and suggest that you turn the mode off and restart iTunes. Since it recognizes that it is running on a 64-bit machine it will still refuse to activate an iPhone. Bummer.
    *If I activate my iPhone on another machine then can i transfer content to it on Vista 64-bit edition?*
    Nope. iTunes will instruct you to connect the phone to a 32-bit machine.

    Yes the forum has been misbehaving recently hence my double post. Ther should be an edit button, but it is only present for a few minute.
    The error you are getting has certainly been associated with a failure of Windows updates, but I don't know if the one you mention is an issue.
    The microsoft link to the update problem is;
    http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/ca7d15d7-8ee3-4993-bd01-753d adc904121033.mspx
    That's about as far as I can go with this I am afraid.

  • Try to install iTunes on Vista 64 bit on a clean install but it refuses to install

    I download the 64 bit version for install on my PC, but during install i noticed it was being installed to Program files (x86) which confused me. so I changed it to Program files in the setup preferences and proceeded to install. It gets half way through installing and gives up. Am I to guess that iTunes 64 is not really 64 bit at all but a psuedo to give it that impression. If it is going to install into a 32 bit directory then I have no recourse but to assume the latter.
         Any ideas how I can get this to install on my Windows Vista 64 bit. Either way it comes up with scripting errors every time I try now. What is needed is an apple cleaner to get rid of elements of the old installs hidden in places like Appdata and the registry as well as hidden MSI scripts which stop subsequent installs.

  • Error when installing Itunes 7, need help!

    Everytime i try installing the new itunes 7, i get this error, http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ituneshelpsl5.png

    The Windows Installer service, the engine behind all MSI installers, performs installations with the built-in operating system account SYSTEM on behalf of the user. So it is SYSTEM's permissions on files, folders, and registry keys that ultimately matter. SYSTEM is normally the most powerful account, but if we run our computers as an administrator, it is possible to inadvertently curb SYSTEM's power by altering permissions with a program or directly ourselves. The result is failures at random points throughout the Windows experience. Based on the screenshot you posted follow these steps to re-grant Windows the permissions it needs to complete the installation.
    1. Download and install SubInACL from Microsoft.
    2. Assuming you installed SubInACL to the default path "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\" then from Start Menu Run... execute:
    "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\subinacl.exe" /file "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info" /grant=SYSTEM
    3. Install iTunes 7

  • Help! I can't instal iTunes on Windows 7.

    I asked this question before but didn't recieve any answers so I'll try again.
    I recently purchased an iPhone 4s. This product requires me to insall iTunes on my pc, which runs Windows 7 64bit. However, when installing iTunes I keep recieving the same error message-- An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version='8.0.50727.4053',publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b". ProcessorArchitecture="amd64"      HRESULT: 0x800736B3
    I've already looked over many previous forum posts and haven't been able to find a suitable solution to this yet. I had iTunes on my computer previously but deleted it after I had freezing trouble. I have ensured that all old files have been removed. Bonjour gave me some trouble but I think I have dealt with that now. Also, I have been experiencing some failures with windows update-- service pack 1 for windows seven and some security updates mostly-- which I am yet to solve. I really have no idea what to do as I would like to run my iPhone on the latest iOS. If anybody could help me I would be forever grateful.
    Thanks, heattr.

    It may help to disable your antivirus software before having another go, particularly if you have Trend.
