HELP, can't install any version of iTunes on new laptop

Hi, I just got a new Dell XPS 1210, I turned off all of the security Sw and tried to downlaod V7 software from the site, it loaded than said itunes had a problem and had to close, I tried it at least 5 times with no joy, I than moved a file from my old laptop (V6.0.4) and it loaded and said had to shut down due to a problem, i spent 3 hours on the phone with Dell tech support who told me they had no idea, does anyone have any ideas why no version of iTunes will launch on my new system? (XP Pro, with 2GB RAM, 80GB HD)
Thanks from a newbie

3rdtoy,
If iTunes is crashing, why don't you get a crash log and send it to those lazy Apple engineers.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log" If there's already a file there, it most likely has multiple crash logs in it (new crash logs are just appended to the end of the file). So, delete this file. This will make sure you're not sending extra information I don't need. These crash logs are text files, so you can open them in notepad or whatever to see what information you're sending.
So, get the machine setup to collect crash logs, do the thing that makes iTunes crash. Send it to our buddy Roy. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread because he gets a lot of these messages and is easily confused. Tell him Toonz sent ya.

  • Can't install ANY version of iTunes

    So I downloaded the monstrosity that is iTunes 7 and suddenly my iPod wouldn't work with it.
    Whenever I tried to upgrade to iTunes 7.0.2, the updater would come to a standstill and do nothing.
    So a few users on here gave me some suggestions on how to install iTunes 6.
    First I deleted iTunes 7, as well as the iTunesX file from Library>Receipts.
    Then I downloaded iTunes 6 and ran the installer.
    No. Way. The iTunes 6 installer is freezing as well.
    What is going on with my computers ability to install iTunes?

    Try and d/l a fresh .dmg.

  • Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

    Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

    I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:

  • Cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?

    cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?

    Since you don't say why it won't install, here is what I have found to work on a Vista machine, 32-bit:
    Download but do not install iTunes file from Apple site
    Stop anti-virus and firewall
    Restart computer
    Login as Admin
    Run iTunes installation
    Turn anti-virus and firewall on
    Restart and login as regular user
    Vista likes to leave a lot of installers running in the background even when they finish and that interfers with the iTunes installer.

  • Can't install any version of Safari for my Dad

    I'm visiting my dad, and trying to get Safari installed for him. Somehow he managed to trash it - we're not sure how. Now I can't install any version of Safari. 1.x is too old. He's running OSX10.4.10 so 2.0.1 doesn't work either. I really don't even want to put 3 on here - he's a very basic user and doesn't need beta headaches.
    The only disks we have are the system disks ... do I have to reinstall an old version of system to get Safari working for him?

    Hi
    Have a look at this Apple article for installing other software, including Safari, from the Tiger DVD - see the section titled More custom reinstallation options with Mac OS X 10.4.
    Steps to take in addition to the Apple article:
    Move the Safari.pkg file in the HD>Library>Receipts folder to the trash.
    As a precaution, prior to reinstalling Safari, move the Safari Folder, found in the User Library to the Desktop. It has the personal bookmarks, history etc. Once the reinstall is completed, move the folder back to its original location writing over the newly created folder.
    Remember too, the version of Safari you install will be specific to the Version on the installer DVD. Therefore, either run Software Update and see if Safari updates appear. If not, reapply the 10.4.10 combined update to bring Safari up to the current version.
    Repair permissions via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when you are finished.

  • Why do i keep getting an error message of 2096 when installing any version of itunes

    Why do  I keep getting ann error of 2096 when downloading any version of itunes.  It tells me to delete itunes and reinstall.

  • Can't open any version of iTunes or use quicktime

    yesterday i downloaded and installed iTunes 7 (before i knew that there was problems with it). when i opened it massive chunks of my library were missing so i decided to revert back to an earlier version of itunes. removed iTunes 7 and installed iTunes 6.0.5 (think that's the correct number) but it wouldn't open. it comes up with a message saying that iTunes had encountered an unexpected error and needs to close. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of iTunes and rolling back to various system restore points on my computer but i constantly get the same message. I can't use quicktime either - it just comes up with the same message.
    HELP!!!

    I can't use quicktime either - it just comes up
    with the same message.
    just doublechecking your precise error message. is it
    an "itunes has encountered a problem" message? or is
    it something a bit different? if it's different, what
    is the precise text? (include error message numbers
    if you're getting any.)
    i don't know if this will mean anything to you...
    Faulting application pictureviewer.exe, version 7.1.3.100, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x63656666.
    for some reason the error message i was getting on screen when i tried to open QT isn't coming up now but QT isn't opening either. i got that text from going to control panel>admin tools>event viewer. the text i was getting previously when i tried to open QT was "quicktime has encountered an unexpected error and needs to close" (or something v similar).

  • Repeated failure to install ANY version of iTunes...

    I have two iPods, and, for the past three days, I have repeatedly failed at every turn to successfully install iTunes on a notebook with Windows Vista Home Premium. The issue began with failure to successfully download and run the latest update. I went ahead and uninstalled everything having to do with iPods and iTunes. I have repeatedly been presented with the message, "Verify that you have sufficient privileges...". I went into the command prompt and registry and zero'd out the administrator in the HKEY, per some instuctions I found elsewhere, which opened a new "Administrator" account. I have attempted to run any and all d/l versions of iTunes as the administrator. I even went back to an old CD-ROM that came with the Nano and tried to run that. Nothing. I've followed the recommendation made by Moose all over these forums and had no success.
    Versions of iTunes I have attempted install and had no luck:
    7.6.1.9
    7.0.2.16
    6.0.4.2
    When I tried to install the iPod software from the CD-ROM, I got repeated messages that stated, "Couldn't Create Service".
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient..."
    "Service 'Bonjour service' could not be installed. Verify..."
    "iTunes installer was interrupted before the requested operations...could be completed"
    So I guess what I have now are a couple of very expensive paperweights. It is becoming increasingly difficult to not resort to violence! For the first time in six years, I've craved a cigarette!!!
    Anyone?!?
