***Fix for iTunes 10.5 Install on Win7 64bit***

1. Uninstalled itunes.  (dont worry this does not delete your music or media)
2. Restart
3. If install doesnt work, go to control panel > Uninstall program > left click on Apple Update Software so that it's highlighted > Click on Repair at the top.   
4. Wait until the process is complete and then try reinstalling.  Worked for me after that.

I am gonna say this error baffled me for months, I was using my old WinXP desktop pc just to use itunes. Here is the simplest and easy way I got it fixed.
I opened regedit with administrator permissions (start menu>type regedit>right click>admin)
and I decided to try changing the ownership of all the affected subkeys to the Administrators group to see if it would fix the key in question. All of the wonky keys appear to be in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components.
I right-clicked on key 7ABFE44842C12B390AF18C3B9B1A1EE8, selected permissions, advanced, owner tab, and then checked the box to “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.” Click OK. Regedit complained, “Registry Editor could not set owner on the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys.”
I ignored it and discovered I could now select subkey 83AC89C9A1C48CA45BC56149798C28B6 MIGHT BE ANOTHER KEY!!!!*************************************************MINE was the 000021599B00901001000...
without tripping the permissions error.
A right-click on this subkey showed that there were no permissions set. I added the account SYSTEM and gave it full control. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< this was the fix!

  • Fix for iTunes 10.4 install unexpected error with Lion

    Not sure if anthing has been posted on this fix. I downloaded the update then copied it to a USB flash drive and installed from there.
    No issues at all.

    Anyone?

  • EXS 24 crashes when I load any sample. Is there a fix for this, perhaps an install / reinstall poison as such? Any help would be very grateful.

    I purchased the iMac second hand and is in very tidy condition only used for production.  I'm not totally clued up on the Mac side if things as I was a windows user for years. Please be gentle ! :)

    Thank you. I figured it out right before I heard from you.  Running the OCR before the redaction made it work correctly.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.

  • FlashCS4 Wont install on Win7 64bit

    Purchased Premium Suite - Trying to install on Win7 64bit
    Neither FlashCS4 nor PshopCS4 will install
    Gives a message stating simply cant install
    Gives instructions to reboot and try again
    Which I did
    Still does not install
    Any ideas why not?
    Any ideas on what to do now?
    Thanks for your attention

    The serial number is what determines the version of PS CS4 that is installed on your machine.
    It is impossible for PS CS4 to install the 64 bit version on Windows XP 32 bit machine.
    If you have a 32 bit OS machine PS CS4 will only install the 32 bit software.
    If you have a 64 bit OS machine PS CS4 will install both 32 bit and 64 bit software.
    Don't forget to install the .exe file installer file as Admin. Run the Disk but choose to explore the Disk. Find the PS folder and open it and right click on the .exe file and Choose to run as Admin.
    Turn off Windows defender prior to install. It is also better to turn off Adobe reader if it is installed (better yet, remove it) as it has caused PS CS4 install problems in the past for some unknown reason.
    To avoid problems install PS CS4 on C drive.
    Like I wrote above the serial number determines what is installed, not the Disk. You will know if you paid for the extended as it is almost 1 grand (the upgrade is cheaper).
    If you feel that you purchased the extended version but only the standard version installs you need to contact Adobe. Tell them hey, here is my receipt for Extended but the serial number you gave me is standard. This has happened before but nobody ever posted back saying the problem was corrected. 

  • My fix for iTunes.exe 10.6.1.7 hang/freeze on Win7 64

    Hi all, just wanted to let you know that by renaming the iTunes folder in "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Apple Computer" fixed my iTunes. It was just freezing when I tried to open it and would not respond. Apparently there are some cache and pref files in here it could not read after the latest update.
    That exact folder was:
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    One of my exact error messages was:
    The program iTunes.exe version 10.6.1.7 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
    Process ID: e10
    Start Time: 01cd34807032e826
    Termination Time: 0
    Application Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    Report Id:

    Thx Hackintosh. All software was up to date as of this morning, but I think the issue stemmed from the IP switching in my building. I finanlly stripped the express/utility completely off the box and reinstalled from scratch after doing a factory reset of the airport unit itself... and finally, eureka. Of course, doing this required resetting my apple machines to the updated airport address. I will say that if anyone wants to run both apple and PC machines on the same airport, set up the PC first and then link the apple machine(s) second. Way easier than the other way around.

  • This is the fix for "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close .

    I recently purchased a new laptop and tried to get my library transferred. iTunes wouldn’t open; QuickTime wouldn’t open. I was near a heart attack. I tried the fixes listed in the forum, but they didn’t work. Then I discovered:
    The fix needs to be done in a proper order!
    a. Delete iTunes and QuickTime from Add/Remove programs
    b. Go to C > Program files an delete the folders for iTunes and QuickTime. If QT will not allow you to delete the program because it’s “in use”, then go to Start > Run > configsys > Startup and deselect “qttask”. You will have to reboot and get past the selective start up/diagnostic screen. Then go back to C > Program files and you will now be able to delete the QuickTime folder.
    c. For good order’s sake, delete any desktop shortcuts and empty your Recycle Bin.
    d. Reboot
    e. Download the STAND ALONE version of QuickTime: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    f. Install the stand alone version; reboot. At this time, when the diagnostic window comes up, you can reselect “qttask”
    g. Download the QuickTime 7 with iTunes 6: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    h. Install the iTunes program. The stand alone will take precedence over the imbedded version of QuickTime.
    i. Reboot
    When your system has completed the reboot, you should be able to double-click the newly installed desktop shortcut; give it a few minutes and it should open. Mine did – and I tried everything else. If this does NOT work, then there is a conflict with something else in your system and you will have to go through the configsys elimination process, which is a whole lot more work.
    Best of luck!

    Generate another of those error messages and click the "Click here" link in the error message box. What modname and modver are showing for the error? (Precise spelling please.)
    If the error is a BEX and thus doesn't show an modname or modver, let us know what P1 through P9 items are showing for you instead.

  • TS5376 is there a fix for iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows installation problem?

    I tried the fix in "TS5376: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open" but problem remains. We have the same issue on my dauther's PC (Windows 7 also). iTunes can't open and configure correctly.

    Hey MichelHebert,
    When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow these steps below? This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    from: Step 1 of Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Let us know if uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Take care,

    The first thing to check is Quicktime as iTunes will not work without it.
    Does Quickime launch OK and work normally?
    If it does use the method in this article to troubleshoot iTunes:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
    If QUicktime does not launch, describe what happens with any error message in full.
    Have you installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
    If so uninstall them, they are know to cause problems with QUickitme.
    Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes (it is not the default option):
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

  • Fix for iTunes and Stuttering Audio Upon Opening Other Programs

    This was answered for me in another mega thread, so I thought I would create it's own topic in hopes of helping as many people as possible.
    This is a fix for those that have the problem of iTunes 7 working fine alone, but when opening another program such as a game, etc., iTunes 7 begins to stutter and crackle. This fix assumes that otherwise, the program works correctly (gapless, and other issues are not a problem, no blue screens of death, etc.)
    First off my machine:
    Dell XPS 3.4 ghz Pentium Dual Core
    2 Gig RAM
    Creative SB X-Fi audio card, latest drivers installed
    Observed problem:
    Running iTunes 7, audio sounded fine, but opening another program such as UT2004 (first person shooter game) caused iTunes 7 to stutter and crackle.
    This was not an issue in iTunes 6.05. I had to upgrade as I just purchased the new Nano.
    As an aside, I have another sound card on my computer, an older Layla Echo 24 professional soundcard, drivers are about 3 years old. When selecting this card, this problem does not occur.
    The Fix:
    Close iTunes 7
    Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
    Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A -9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
    Start
    Run
    Type: dxdiag
    Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
    Slide bar to "basic acceleration" (mine was at full, and basic is two clicks to the left)
    Exit
    Restart iTunes 7, and startup music
    Open game, or other program
    Your music in iTunes 7 should now be stutter/crackle free
    This may not work for everybody, but it worked for me so I thought I would pass this along.
    Good luck!
    (resisting urge to type some snarky remark to Apple that somehow their programmers are indeed as human as Microsoft programmers)...oops...sorry about that.
    Dell XPS Windows XP Creative SB X-FI Audio Card
    Dell XPS   Windows XP  

    i was hopeful, but it didn't work. well teh one thing that i had to do diff was the dx updating, WGA doesn't like to work on my system for some unkown reason (yes it was bought at a store) so i found a way around their WGA check for it (i think) the one i got was labeled as dxwebupdate for august 2006. it updated just fine and it looks like it should be the same one as the newest update release microsoft sent out
    my system is a home built one and haven't had probs with itunes with any other version, until this one. i'm tempted to just go back to the newest version 6 i have, cause this is rediculous. i can't do anything without it sputtering away at me. i tryed uninstalling it and removing every trace of its exsistance off of the system (including registry) and that didn't work i made sure all numbers were set to the correct values for my sound blaster audigy gamer, i was using some non oem drivers, but switched over just to make sure witht eh newest ones creative had, and it made zero diff.
    i'm wondering if it is an issue it is having with sound blaster cards...
    well anyways if anyone else has any ideas i would like to hear them

  • Fix for iTunes 9.1 sync with Outlook 2007

    Like many others, iTunes 9.1 broke syncing my iPhone 3G calendar and contacts with my Outlook 2007 (Windows 7). Here’s what worked for me:
    1. Uninstall all Apple software, using the instructions in this tech note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    2. Download iTunes 9.0.3.15 and install it. (Search the Web for it, no thanks to Apple.)
    3. Restore from backup week-old copies of the iTunes library files “iTunes Library.itl” and “iTunes Music Library.xml”, since the latest versions were written by version 9.1 and not readable 9.0.3.15.
    4. Restore things I had changed in my iTunes in the last week.
    Things that didn’t work:
    a. The steps in this Apple tech note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1692
    including resetting sync history and disabling third-party Outlook add-ins.
    b. Restoring the iPhone to factory settings and then syncing.
    c. Help > Run Diagnostics > iPhone / iTouch Sync Test.

    You are exactly right. iTtunes 9.1 breaks the sync with Outlook 2007. Tried all the fixes and even got a new phone from the Apple Store after being "helped" by customer support. It's not your phone, it's the update. iTtunes 9.0 works fine. The customer support people will tell you this is the first they have heard of it. Delete 9.1, search web for 9.0, and install. I could not do system restore since I installed and uninstalled about 10 different things troubleshooting. I just deleted iTunes library from program files (hope my iPod will put music back) to get around the library file problem. Now works. Hey, maybe we should work for Apple since we know more than their tech support people. Can't believe they are not aware of issue between the iPhone and Outlook.

  • Found a fix for iTunes 10.6.1 store and connection issues

    Been having trouble for months not being able to connect to the store and then after the most recent update couldn't even connect to the internet to import a physical CD (wouldn't connect to Gracenotes), import purchases I made on my phone or even to check for iTunes updaes.  After reading some other posts about the winsocket concerns I ran a diagnostic and found a real player file called speedster used to enhance download speed using the winsocket.  I just uninstalled realplayer (I did have real player plus btw) and BAM all issues with iTunes were fixed.  Opened iTunes, store loaded and all my purchases from my iphone and ipod touch started downloading.  Simple, but ridiculous it caused that much trouble and not been an update to fix it yet seeing months of problems out there.

    Ha! Issue solved. The track not showing the arrows was a PDF in iTunes. All is well.

  • Is there a fix for itunes 10.5 win xp and/or is there a way to convert my itunes library to 128/256k/bps (vbr)so songs are listenable?

    RE:ROBOT NOISE  WIN XP BITRATE PROBLEM..is there a fix or is there one on the way for itunes 10.5 for win xp bit rate problem,a.k.a. :robot noise,and or is there a way to convert my music files to itunes plus - 128/256kbps(vbr) as this is the only format that plays right?

    I don't know of any utilities that can repair audio files, just as there is no auto-picture repair utility. However, due to the structure of an aac file (and for iTunes they all come "wrapped" in an mp4 wrapper), it depends on where the damage is. Your aac file is actually comprised of around 60 'atoms' and only 1 of them ("mdat") is the audio. If the damage occurred in a non-mdat atom, you might be able to resurrect your m4a file.
    See if you can open these songs in Quicktime Player, and export then as AIFF, and then re-import them using iTunes. You can also direct copy the audio track with a more comprehensive tool called MP4Box (part of an opensource tool called "gpac"). You can get a mp4box binary in a tool called ffmpegx. You'll have to choose "show package contents" and use it Terminal.app's command line:
    /Supply/path/to/--->/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/MP4Box -add ~/Desktop/Closer.m4a#audio -new ~/Desktop/try.m4a
    (substitute the ~/Desktop paths with your files; note: you depending on your files, the '#audio' might need to be replaced with '#TrackID=1' or appropriate number).
    I would advise you to try the mp4box way first (to minimize audio loss with multiple conversions) and listen to each song, checking each. If it fails, then I would try the Quicktime way. If that fails, I would go back to the source material. Whether you use Quicktime or mp4box, you'll loose the metadata. You'll need to re-do that.
    and I agree with dwb that iTunes didn't cause it. I would save things to cdr/dvdr before your data loss gets larger.

  • Is there a fix for itunes match replacing my explicit lyrics?

    Is there a fix for the explicit lyrics probem yet?

    No. However you can turn off iTunes Match on the device, sync the explicit song, then re-enable iTM. Then your iOS device will play the correct version of the song.

  • ITunes tunes wont install on win7 Ultimate 32bit. I have installed

    I have installed and removed the software at least a dozen times. I have tried to install thru winRAR and get the same error message. The error message is about 100 characters long. The install stops, backs up, and then proceeds forward.  When trying to use iTunes after the install, another error message pops up saying that iTunes needs Apple Support Application, not found and to uninstall and reinstall AGAIN! I have removed the install, and cleaned the registery, 3x wiped the free space, and rebooted. 

    Yeah, you're pointing in the wrong direction when you blame the issue on your iPod. Reference the KB article mentioned above, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302335 and then check your windows user settings in the Windows Control Panel and then ensure that you are an Administrator of the computer. If not, login as one and uninstall/reinstall.
    If that fails, check to ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running by typing "services.msc" (without quotes) in the Run menu (Start/Run/services.msc).
    Lastly, try running the iTunes installer file after you have disconnected from the internet (physically un-plug the network cable from your computer if you're on DSL/Cable/LAN) then disabled your anti-virus software.
    If these steps work for you, please let us know here on the forums. If not, we'll still try, but remember, this is an Apple forum, so to expect a lot of Windows answers may be like going to your barber for advice about your overbite.
    Hope this helps.
