Help!  Can't Upgrade iTunes!

Hello everyone!
I just bought my first iPod (a Nano) tonight and when I plug it into my computer, it's telling me I need to download a newer version of iTunes. So I did.
Trouble is, I think I accidentally blocked the download popup. And now it takes me straight to the Thank You page.
I've tried clearing my cookies and enabling popups, but every time I try to download iTunes, it takes me to the Thank You page. Does anyone know how I can download the newest version? This is driving me a bit nuts.
I'm on a PC with Windows XP. I've already rebooted my computer (after clearing my cookies and enabling popups) and it STILL takes me to the Thank You page.
I don't know what to do. Apparently, the new iPods just came out two weeks ago, so I can't use it unless I have the newest version of iTunes. And I can't seem to download it. Grrrr!
Thanks!
Michelle

(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
or Mountain Lion:

  • Can I upgrade iTunes 11.3 to 11.4?

    Can I upgrade iTunes 11.3 to 11.4 using the iTunes11.4.dmg file?  If so, are there anythings I need to watch for?  I don't want to go to iTunes 12.

    Yes, you can. Double-click on the .dmg file then double-click on the installer revealed inside. That's it. You can't go to iTunes 12 without first installing Yosemite, I believe.

  • Can't Upgrade XP / Can't Upgrade iTunes

    My XP license is no good apparently, therefore I can't update XP on microsoft update, therefore, I can't get iTunes 7.6.1.9, and that means there are certain albums that I can't purchase from iTunes. I just want to upgrade iTunes, not pay $150 to update XP. Is there anything I can do?? Help!

    unable to uninstall older version contact support
    Doublechecking before proceeding. Which particular program is it saying that it can't remove? (Several different programs might be mentioned in this context: iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Software Update, etc.)

  • NEED HELP/INFO RE:  UPGRADING ITUNES

    There are several songs I have tried to purchase from itunes and it won't let me purchase them. It comes up with 'to purchase this item please upgrade to itunes 7.2 or later'. When I click on the upgrade button, it brings up a 7.6 upgrade. I don't want to upgrade to this version; too many bugs. How can I upgrade to the 7.2 version? Any help would be appreciated.

    No you cannot.

  • Please help: Can't download itunes with windows 7 (64 bit).  Keeps freezing at 99%

    I have tried deleting and re-installing itunes and quicktime but it still won't work.  Please help.

    Can someone please respond to my request for support?  I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783  but it did not work. 
    I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Can't upgrade iTunes latest version ???

    I cannot upgrade iTunes to latest version.  When I go to download, I get a quick flash of the iTunes store status bar, and that's it.  No error message.  I can access the the store and make purchases.  I turned off virus protection and enabled iTunes in Windows firewall.  Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this?

  • Menu bar, finder and aperture not displaying correctly.  Reinstall doesn't help, can't upgrade to 10.8

    Hi.  Immensely frustrated.  A few weeks ago, I don't know what happened, I started experiencing all sorts of problems.  These are:
    The upper right side menu bar doesn't display all the icons, they're there but invisible
    Aperture isn't displaying images, instead I get weird digital patterns (see screen capture)
    Finder window lost its icons too.  Again, they work, but are invisible.
    frequent crashes
    can't upgrade to mountain lion, I get an error that the file was corrupted during dowload (have tried several times)
    Command-R doesn't work
    Reinstall from startup disk didn't change anything
    I'm running 10.7 on an iMac 27
    What can I do?

    No, I wish that was the issue.  I've attached another screenshot for further clarity.

  • Can't upgrade iTunes... can't uninstall QuickTime

    Help!!
    I've missed a couple of upgrades to iTunes, waiting to investigate the problem - error 1322, a portion of the path exceeds the maximum length allowed by the system.
    Now I think I've isolated it. If I try and uninstall Quicktime (version 7.1) I get the same problem.
    So I think uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime will help. But how do I do that - I can't get past the error.
    Any experienced insights will be welcomed!
    Thank you

    I just solved a similar problem by using "Windows Install Clean Up" to completely remove my old version of Quicktime. Be very careful using this program, since it removes programs from the Window's registry. You can download it from Microsoft's web site.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Be sure to carefully read all the instructions on the webpage before using the program.
    Run the "Windows Install Clean Up" program.
    Select Quicktime and remove it. Don't select anything else!
    After this, try updating iTunes. I hope it works for you.

  • Iphone not recognized by itunes/can't upgrade itunes/ don't want to upgrade software

    After having my iphone 3g "fixed" in the apple store and connecting it to one of their brand new computers, my itunes no longer recognizes my iphone and says I need to upgrade to new Itunes which I can't do because I only have the Tiger version of software.  Is there anything I can do so my iphone can go back to normal without purchasing updated software?

    I am having a similar problem. I am attempting to install the airport extreme card in my ibook g4. The computer is not recognizing the card and now it isn't recognizing the iphone. If I remove the airport card then itunes recognizes the iphone. I have the original phone with the 2.01 update. I'm stumped.

  • Please help - can't get itunes to work

    Hey - I would appreciate any help with the following:
    I have already downloaded itunes to my desktop and successfully created an account and downloaded to my ipod nano...however, today, suddenly, I can no longer do any of that - I logged in to the itunes store, but every time i click on the itunes store "is open" button, nothing happens - i do not currently have my nano plugged in, is that a problem, or am I missing something?

    just unplug it i have that problem when i plug my ipod in and i do my thing and try to unplug it and nothing happens and my ipod is still plugged in and itunes wont let me unpug it. just unplug your ipod. it does not harm it. this is becuase itunes does not see it so there for it is not really connected. as for your itunes not working try reinstalling it. i hope i have helped
