Got Itunes 6.0 installed,...

Hello,
I was having some difficulty with the latest iTunes release. The other day, while I was listening to my music collection on my computer, I was given the message to download the latest update. After several attempts, I have been able to finally get it installed but now the program is not playing any mp3s. It does, however, play whatever songs may have been created by iTunes in the past. If any one has suggestions as to how to fix this (other than deleting everything and recreating the entire library), I would appreciate it.

Let me restate what happened (erring on the side of too much detail):
Previous iTunes: 5.0
Several days ago, alerted that it was time to upgrade to 6.0
Tried to install/uninstall/reinstall because program would not open when I clicked on iTunes icons. At first, as I was installing the software, I would get an error sound but no message text, but disabling anti-virus software seemed to fix that situation (able to install iTunes) I did not uninstall Quicktime before trying this, however...
Anyway, I have "successfully" installed the iTunes program and can play any songs that are not wav or mp3 formats (Apple Lossless songs do play, however).
I have tried several pointers that have been mentioned in other posts, such as Disabling Sound Enhancer, and still nothing plays (99.7% of songs). BTW, there is an mp3 encoder option under the importing options.
Also, some posts suggest that I uninstall Quicktime before un-installing iTunes. However, when I try to uninstall Quicktime, nothing happens. Currently I cannot find Quicktime anywhere on my computer either.
One last thing I've tried is removing all songs from iTunes and re-importing the library (lost play counts and ratings of all songs, but I can get by. Does that mean the when I click update iPod, that all 'stats' will be lost on the iPod as well?).
Hopefully I have elaborated a little more as to the situation and answered your questions. Thanks for the help!

  • I tried to download the latest upgrade and got the following: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193).  Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Apple Application Support\ApplePushService.dll

    I tried to download the latest upgrade and I got a message telling me "The application or DLL ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/Apple/Applie Application Support\ApplePushService.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." and then below that another message "iTunes was no installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • I attempted to update iTunes yesterday and I thought the process completed without any issues but when I tried opening iTunes today, I got an error message that said "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7"

    Attempted to update iTunes on January 23rd and it appeared to install properly.  When I tried to open iTunes on January 24th, it would not open and gave me an error message that said "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 126)"  I then tried to reintall iTunes and it again appeared to install properly but when it attempted to open, I was given the same error message.

  • I finally got itunes 7.4.2 to install on my pc!

    *The short version:*
    Downloaded itunes program at work and brought home on USB drive and itunes installed instantly. Still a mystery but itunes works now.
    *The long version:*
    So i finally bought my first ipod this past weekend. Very excited until i couldn't get itunes to install on my pc. I was able to download the file but when i double clicked the install file i got a message that said windows could not id the publisher so itunes would not install. I worked through every step on the itunes help page (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976) and then searched the microsoft site. But nothing worked so i started to look for programs that might conflict with the download. I turned off all firewalls and antivirus settings and deleted Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) just in case that was screwing something up. I called apple tech support and they worked through everything and told me it was a problem with my pc. My pc manufacturer said it was my dsl provided (bellsouth / AT&T) that was causing the problem.
    So as a last resort i downloaded the itunes file at work saved it on a USB drive and installed on my home pc and everything worked perfectly. I don't know what the problem was but i at least got it solved. Hope this helps.

    You'll need to ask that question in the AppleSeed Discussions forum. The TOU of the beta software presents us from discussion in a public forum.
    You should have received an email alerting you to the new beta version and instructions on how to get it.

  • IPhone Not Syncing to iTunes, despite re-install

    Hi,
    I was having problems with iTunes on a Mac recognising iPhone, iPad, etc.  Had tried all suggested fixes and eventually re-installed iTiunes (and removed various pref files, which solved the problem.  HOWEVER, a day later the problem has returned. 
    Does anyone have any tips what is causing this and how to fix it.  Separately, my girlfriends Windows PC is not recognising her iPod either.  I thought it was just my machine playing up.
    Thks

    Welcome to AD!
    +My C:Drive got full so I moved my My Music Folder to a e:Drive, removed iTunes and re-installed on my e:Drive.+
    This is the wrong way to move your itunes folder - itunes was told everything was on C: and now that it's gone to E:, it can't find it.
    Can you move everything back to C? That is probably the easiest way to do this.

  • Vista itunes not installed correctly.  Error 7.  Windows error 998.  Itunes helper not installed correctly.  Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  Insufficient privileges.

    OK, spent about 25 frustrating hours so far this weekend doing everything recommended on numerous threads here -- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and all Apple items.  Help?
    I am using Windows Vista home premium.  After the last iTunes update to 12, it suddenly would not work.  I followed, to a T, all instructions to uninstall all Apples software, in the correct order, reboot, download the latest iTunes, run as administrator, plug in the iPhone 5S, let the driver install, and then finish.
    Along the way, I received the error that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."  I am the administrator and have privileges.  (I previously followed instructions from anther thread to change the read-only privileges for Apple folders, but to no avail.  I also deleted every file with the word Apple in it after I uninstalled everything.)  I did a retry and then an ignore during installation of the AMD error, which I have received 10 times.
    The other error I keep getting is:  "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7."  I have done that 20 times.
    Other frequent error:  "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 998)."
    I followed other threads suggestions to install Windows .NET versions 3.5 and 4.0.  No help.  I also looked for various specific Apple files in various folders for DLLs, etc.  Not present.  I have rebooted 50 times and tried different users on my home account as well.  Nothing.
    I also followed instructions to Manage my computer under "services."  Under Apple Mobile Device, the setting is for "automatic."  When I try to get it to "start," the error I receive is "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device on Local Computer.  Error 1053:  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."  (I followed previous thread instructions to use the CMD prompt to stop it.  That caused problems because the status was then "stopped," but I was able to restart it later once I figured that out -- but with the 1053 error again.)
    I think I've tried every suggestion in every thread for the four errors I keep getting (AMD failed to start; iTunesHelper Error 7; Windows error 998; and AMD Error 1053.)  I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated.  I mostly want to make sure I don't lose my music and photos, which I was about to sync.
    The only other thing I see that is strange on my computer (which I discovered along the way) is that I cannot receive automatic windows updates and have not had an update since 2012.  My iTunes worked a month ago, so that was obviously not a show-stopper in the past, but perhaps there is a Vista update I need for iTunes 12?  I have service pack 2 for Vista.  I have followed all threads to try to set my windows to automatic update, but no joy there either.  It checks for updates and then fails.  I followed instructions and did run an installation to install windows automatic updates, but that doesn't work either.  I tried 10 times.  It runs and takes a while, but is never able to successfully update windows.  It says "checking for updates" for a while.  Then it dies.  My last update was 6/19/12 (failed) and it says the most recent check was 6/22/12, but I have tried 20 times on 10/31/14 and 11/1/14.
    When asked to "Install new Windows Update software" to check for updates, I have done so 10 times.  It downloads and installs, but never works.
    It's an old Dell desktop computer from 2006, and I'm using an iPhone 5S.  I am fresh out of ideas.  Anyone really smart here?
    Thanks.
    Tristan

    Upon latest reboot, I also received this error message:  "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).  Click OK to terminate the application."
    Then I got the iTunesHelper not installed correctly error again.
    Then the "Windows can't check for updates" error message.
    Then "Apple Push has stopped working."  Then a quick DEP error message that disappeared but said something about Apple Push being closed.
    I'm also getting denials of service logged by McAffee.  Not sure if I'm getting a virus/attack or not.
    Not sure if it's a problem with my old desktop machine, my Windows Vista updates, or iTunes, but I'm very frustrated and out of ideas to try.
    Thank you for your help!

  • Why am I getting a message that iTunes is not installed when trying to access items in IE?

    When I am using IE and find an app on the store, then click the button to view in iTunes I am redirected to the download screen. I tried subscribing to a podcast recently as well and got the message that iTunes was not installed on my computer. When I try to do the same actions in Chrome they work fine. Unfortunetly, Chrome does not work well with some of the software my college uses so I would like to get IE functioning fully before classes start back up. This happens even if I disable my firewall. I have tried updating iTunes and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. My husband's computer has several itunes plugins in IE but I don't for some reason.

    Reset IE to defaults.
