HELP can't install i-tunes 9

Keep getting message that installer can't remove old version of I-tunes should I uninstall myself or am I opening a can of worms I can't cover back up? And if I should uninstall what should I remove?

Try the following method.
Before you do it might be wise to save copies of iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml which are in your iTunes fodler. It shouldn't be necessary but you never know..
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

  • Can't install i Tunes!!! Plz help!!!

    I keep trying to install i Tunes 8, but I keep getting this message.
    It's really annoying and I seriously need help.
    Thanks,

    Save iTunessetup.exe on your desktop, then right click on it and select run as administrator.
    If that doesn't work, try installing from another administrator account.
    Is this a fresh install, or are you upgrading from an earlier version, if so, which one?

  • Error 1719 can't install I-tunes

    Got an Ipod nano,2cd gen. and I have I-tunes ver 6 on my Win's pc. Tried to download Ver.7, and it says Can't install due to inability to find Windows Installer. Error 1719. I went to control Panel and tried to delete the old version, and got the same message. I've rebooted the pc, I've gone to MS's webpage and downloaded a "patch' something about needing a virtual thingy, and that didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? And why is this happening? Thanks
    H.P   Windows XP  

    Ok, I've called Microsoft, and installed a new installer, ver. 3.1, Microsoft will not help me, due to having an OEM machine, and I have to pay $79 to talk to them.
    I've called the Manufacturers of Ipod, and they tried to setup a new "profile" for me , but it kept coming up w/ can't install , can't un-install. The guy told me to call Microsoft and if that didn't work call back. I haven't called back yet because I've spent 3 days since I've gotten this "present" working on getting one silly jukebox. Sorry, I'm frustrated. Can I take the darn thing back? Or is there something else I can do? I tried the Win's Cleanup Utility, installed the VBscribt, and like I said installed the Ver.3.1 installer and nothing will allow me to install this Version of I-tunes. What else is there to do???? Thanks for your help, I do appreciate it, just verrry frustrated.

  • HELP Can't install itunes 9 on Windows 7  64-Bit

    I've just bought an iPod Touch and can't install itunes on my notebook. (Which means I can't use my iPod)
    I've downloaded itunes for 64bit, but each time I double-click it, a window opens and say "The windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
    and it says the itunes installer encountered an error before itunes completely installed.
    I went to Asus service center, but they said that itunes is not compatible with the new Windows 7 and I should bring it to Apple iBox instead.
    I've gone to 2 iBox and they don't understand the problem at all, and they didn't find any way to help me.
    This is so disappointing. I can't even find an email address to contact Apple directly.
    Help is so much appreciated. Thanks..

    iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
    1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
    2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
    Good luck, hope this helps.

  • [HELP] Can I install a new version of Windows 7 on my Lenovo G550?? (+ One Key Rescue???????)

    I bought a Lenovo G550 with 4GB DDR3, T4300, 320Gb. It came with Windows 7 BASIC installed and I'd like to install a version of Windows 7 Professional I have here. I want to do a clean install!
    Well, when I started the installation, the disks were partitioned as follows:
    1. 200 Mb - System;
    2. 233 GB - Hard c: \ (where I believe that Windows 7 Basic is installed)
    3. 30.2 GB - Lenovo (here are the drivers, totaling 800MB used!)
    4. LENOVO_PART - 14.8GB [OEM] (is a hidden partition! Probably the One Key Rescue. He says CAN NOT INSTALL, OEM is because, for the MANUFACTURER)
    The question is: if I delete the first 3 partitions, leaving only the hidden partition (Lenovo_PART-14.8Gb) and install Windows 7 Professional, will work?? If later I want to restore the system using the discs created by One Key Rescue, will work too? That will give an error?
    PLEASE HELP! Windows 7 BASIC sucks!
    (Thanks to google for the english translation)  

    OK - I was under the impression that you had a brand new machine and did not have to restore any data stored already.  If it were me - I would back up all of my data - not with True Image - but just back it up.  Then I would do a clean install of Windows 7  (getting rid of all those partitions) and either create one or two.   I just use one and then do regular images wtih Acronis True Image - but you could create two - one for the OS and applications and another for all your data directories. 
    I don't know how you would do a new install while trying to create the partitions exactly the way Lenovo has them when the machine is delivered.  (I don't think Lenovo does either)  So - I would make it simple and just get rid of them all after your data is backed up.   If you have new applications loaded, I would just install them again.  Not the most convenient but in the long run you will have an easier system to back up and manage. 
    I'm not a fan of Lenovo's instant restore proceedure, because A: it is complicatied, and B: it doesn't buy you anything if you crash your hard drive anyway.  It is really only good if you A: do regular backups with the instant restore, and B: either have a virus or corrupt some data and need to use it.  You can do the same thing by using the Microsoft system restore point proceedure.  So - to me it is just a gimick and makes your drive a mess wtih hidden partitions, etc.  
    That would be my approach.  I would NOT try to backup your current configuraton with Acronis before installing a new OS.  It can be done - but I think it will be very messy.  A much better approach would be just to delete all of those partitions with the Windows 7 install proceedure - then create just one or two new partitions as you install the new OS.  Then start using Acronis to do regular images on your drive.  You can also do incrementals so it only takes a couple of minutes each day. 
    Installing Windows 7 is a piece of cake as it finds all the drivers for you.  Just make sure you have it connected to an ethernet cable.  Then install your applications and then load your data back.  Very straigtforward. 
    The advantages you will get will be:  A:  You will get use of your entire hard drive space.  B:  It will be much easier to manage and back up.  C:  Using Acronis to backup your drive will be simple  D: If you ever lose data you can simply use Acronis to restore the directory or data file, or E:  If you lose your entire hard drive you simply get a new one and then restore from the Acronis CD and point it to your last backup image. 
    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Help, can't install OS 10.2 on my 2003 Imac G4

    Hello Lads,
    I picked up a 2003 IMac flat panel at a college auctio, and it's hard drive is wiped. I tried to install 10.2 retail disc, and the mac does not recognize the disc. I know the computer is OK, as my 10.5 disk is recognizes on the boot up, can't install of course, but it goes to the install page. The 10.2 does nothing, no disc icon on any of the boot up options?
    The tech at Mac said 10.2 would be fine, but isn't any suggestions? do I actually need 10.3?
    Thanks to anyone who answers.
    Donald Bowman

    The original OS X version that came with the earliest 2003 iMac was 10.2.3. The last 2003 model required 10.2.7. So depending on which exact 2003 model you have you would need either the original discs that came with the computer or a retail copy of Jaguar at least one sub-version greater than the one originally installed - 10.2.4 or 10.2.8 - or you need any version of Panther or Leopard. Of course the machine's RAM configuration must meet the minimum requirements of 256 or 512 MBs, respectively, and to use Leopard the computer must have an 867 MHz or faster CPU.

    I had to uninstall my iTunes.....Can't install again...tried 3 times and each time messages read:  1.  Systam has not been modified.  2. Installer has insufficient privilages to access this directory; C:\Program Files\iTunes  3. Log on as administrator or contact your administrator
    Thanks.  Jankeys

    It appears that your user account on your Windows machine is not the system administrator. You are using a limited account most likely.
    iTunes will have some issues if used under a limited account.
    Go into: Start > Control Panel > Users
         See which account is listed as the system administrator. Login to that account and you can promote your main account to system admin from there. Restart your computer if this worked.
    If there isn't a system admin listed, there may be parental control software installed preventing you from accessing these settings.
    Try installing any other program. (web browsers are good to try cause they are free)
    If you are denied access to installing other programs, your user account is not system admin.

  • Help Can't Install Maverick "disk doesn't use the GUID Partition-"

    I have an imac and i'm using bootcamp fro windows 8.  so I have Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP Partitions. both partition have Master Boot Record as the Partition Scheme.  When trying to install OS X Mavericks it rell me that "This disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme. ..." it tells me to use Disk Utility to select the disk ->partition -> select Volume Scheme and then Options... but option is grayed out... I can not change it and so can not install Mavericks... how do I solve the this issue without losing any data in mac and in windows? without deleting partitions if possible?
    thanks

    GUID is a drive map layout. You can only change it by opening Disk Utility, highlighting the physical drive and choosing the Partition tab. Then change the partition layout to anything other than Current. The Options button below that will then be active and you can then finally change the drive map from whatever it is now to GUID.
    Note that since you must repartition the drive, you WILL lose everything on all partitions. So you MUST back up everything FIRST to another drive. This can be a clone to another physical drive, internal or external. When you clone it back after repartitioning, the drive map does not change.
    To check your current drive layout, open Disk Utility and click on the physical drive you want to install Mavericks on. Example:
    Then look at the lower right of Disk Utility's box. If you see anything other than GUID Partition Table, as shown below, then you must repartition the drive.
    The other main problem is that you have to have another drive to boot to before you can change the one that needs to be repartitioned. Clone your current drive to another physical drive, not another partition on the same drive. Once the clone is complete, boot to that drive and you'll be able to repartition the drive you need to change.

  • Can't install I-Tunes 9 on my laptop

    I had an older version of I-Tunes on my laptop that worked fine but I just got a new I-pod Touch and it needs the newest version of I-tunes. When I try to install it I get this error:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, version+"8.0.50727.4053", type="win32,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", process or Architecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x800736FD.
    I installed the same version on my desktop and didn't have any problems so I don't think it's a problem with the file. My desktop is running Windows XP still and my laptop has Windows Vista on it. Any help would greatly be appreciated!! Thanks!
    Kristin

    With these ones, Kristin, often the iTunes trouble is related to an underlying problem that will also cause Windows Update failures. If that's what is happening, fixing the Windows Update problem can often allow iTunes to install too.
    Go into your Windows Update and open your Update History. Have a lot of Updates been failing for you? If so, doubleclick on the failures to bring up a small window with more information. What error codes are showing up for you for the Update failures? Are they also 0x800736FDs, or are you getting different error codes?
