Freezes on installing iTunes 9.0.1

I tried to upgrade my computer from iTunes 8 to 9.0.1 and it froze. I have tried uninstalling both iTunes and QuickTime and then installing again, but without success. It still freezes, right after it downloads the 45MB package. It says "installing" but the progress bar doesn't move at all.
When this happens, all of Windows becomes unresponsive so that I have to manually cut power to my laptop to turn it off.
Any ideas?

I upgraded to Vista Ultimate and 4th gen freezes everytime.It also freezes in my truck when i plug it in with the usb.I didnt remember having a problem with Xp.I tried everything.Wheel freezes,nothing works except the lock.Any ideas?

Mail freezing after installing iTunes 11.0.1

I'm running Snow leopard on a 2011 Macbook Pro. I just installed iTunes 11.0.1, and since then, mail keeps freezing (spinning cursor) and right-clicking on the icon in the dock shows application not responding.
Anyone else experiencing this?

OK I think I fixed this problem, but it makes no sense. The usual synch mechanism was still failing, for giggles I tried selcting the Option "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi". This is silly and unreasonable because my desktop only has a wired LAN connection and no Wi-Fi. That of course did not work, but once I unselected the option and plugged the iPad back into the USB port, I was able to sync. Go figure. I will try additional sync in a few day and with the iPhone before declaring victory.

Every time I try and install iTunes 9.2 my laptop freezes up

Every time I try and install iTunes 9.2 my Acer Aspire 5920 freezes up when the install gets to registering iTunes Automation Service. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. I have the iPhone 3GS 32 GB, with the new iOS 4 OS. Since I have the OS upgrade I can't get update my iPhone without 9.2. In the past I have had problems getting iTunes to update but have always been able to go back to an earlier version but now with iOS 4 that is no longer an option.

For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\<User>\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.

Installation freezes trying to install itunes for first time

I just got my first ipod and I'm trying to install itunes. There's no error message but installation just seems to freeze after two or three percent. I've tried mozilla and ie, and I tried downloading from filehippo. I did the msconfig thing too, but since I don't have any quicktime or itunes do disable it doesn't seem to matter.

The page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Why does my Macbook freeze whilst trying to install iTunes 11.1 update?

I was trying to install the new iTunes update, 11.1 and after clicking "Install and Restart" the screen changes into the initial login background (the purple/pink stars wallpaper but without the login box) and freezes there. I can still see the cursor and move it around but I can't do anything else. I had to hold down the power button to shut the computer off and then turn it back on again. I've tried twice and the same thing happened both times. Any help would be appreciated.
I've a MacBook Pro version 10.6.8 if that's at all relevant.
Thanks!

Trying to update iTunes, the installer keeps freezing at 'Running iTunes Installer Scripts'. i've tried several different versions of iTunes and can't install any of them. I'm stuck with Version 4!! Help!

I'm trying to update iTunes on my mac (Power Mac G5 running tiger), but it always freezes at 'Running itunes installer script'. I have tried a few different versions of iTunes, but I have the same problem with all of them. I'm stuck on version 4 (which came with my os discs)! Help?!

Ok, First this link should solve the windows scripting host error. I used "Download windows script host" in a google search and it was the first hyperlink.

I'm assuming you are trying to run the installer from apple. What I would suggest is you download the installer manually to your desktop then launch the installer. If try to run the installer over the intertubes you may run into a problem like you did.
Then I would uninstall itunes 8 and any software associated with it like the apple update software, quicktime, apple mobile device support. However uninstalling itunes should remove any additional software it installs. Then clean out your temp folder:
6. Clean out your temp folders,
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
Then with a newly download installer on your desktop try launching it. Let me know if that helps.
Here is an apple doc that help.

Is there a special way to install iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit?

I have two identical laptops, HP Pavilion dv6, and I installed the latest version of iTunes on both of them and they both give me the same exact problem after installation. When I launch iTunes and perform any task i.e. go to Edit>Preferences, or select "Get info" on a particular song, iTunes freezes. I have to launch task manager and End Task in order to close the program. When I relaunch iTunes it seems to start working properly. Are there any files I can maybe delete and do you recommend I uninstall iTunes and block certain programs from running as I'm installing iTunes?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
Hope you are fine there!
recommend that you attempt to resolve this issue by uninstalling iTunes and QuickTime, and then reinstalling the latest version of each. To do this, first ensure that you are logged in to an Administrator user account on your computer, then follow the instructions in the appropriate article:

Just installed itunes on windows 8 and can't open it

Have purchased a new computer with Windows 8. Have just installed itunes on it and now it will not let me open it!! Please help

Hello Jess2321,
I recommend this article named iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717. The name says Windows 7 but the troubleshooting will be relevant for Windows 8, although some of the locations in the OS may be a bit different.
Take care,

I actually had this problem re-installing iTunes yesterday.
Click on the Send Error Report and it will, after sending, come up with a microsoft online link thing. Click on that and it goes to this site that says "Apple as infomred Microsoft that they can fix this problem." and then it says, "Follow this link." Click on the link on the page and it will come up to the newest iTunes download page. Download that and it should clear up. Make sure that you have completly uninstalled and deleted all folders in Program files for all iTunes / iPod related services, except your music folder.
