  • Help with installing Itunes on laptop with Windows Vista

    I have been trying for the last hour to install Itunes on my laptop. Everytime I click on the download button a pop up come up on my conputer saying Internet Explorer has closed and says something about changeing setting in the data execution prevention in the advanced settings of the sytem properties. Can anyone help me. It runs a 32 bit operating system.

    Hi...
    Um, I wouldn't have a clue if it's a USB1 or 2. I may be computer literate... but the technicalities go whoosing over my head. How can I tell?
    Yes, I do think I have probs with my iPod (sure didn't take 3 hours to charge before the folder with the ! with the support link comes up on the screen. But there is the problem that I can't download iTunes from the site without getting a *corrupt installation files. Find a fresh copy and download again.* Lost count of how many times I've done that. I even downloaded the standalone quicktime first.
    Gah! I'm soooo frustrated.
    Will try the iPod updater this morning and hope I successfully choose the 5th Gen iPod.
    thanks heaps

  • New installed iTunes 9 cancelled my Windows XP Pro ability to read CD drive

    I followed iTunes instructions to uninstall and re-install iTunes and related software. Now my Dell computer with Windows XP Pro will not read a music CD. What did the iTunes instructions delete or fail to re-install... so I can read and copy my CD music to iTunes 9?
    Thanks

    If you copied folders from another PC to your new PC, You need to check the permissions. You probably do not have permission to write to your iTunes Music folder.
    Your account needs to have full control of the iTunes folder and all sub folders. You should take ownership of the folders too.
    Here is some vista help, it should be similar for Windows 7:

  • Windows xp pro x64 edition HELP -- Cant install Itunes

    I have searched and can only find answeres that are 4 and 5 years old.
    Can I download Itunes for this machine? If not, is there a program I can use that will allow me to play my ipod on this machine?
    Thanks you
    God Bless

    The answers from four or five years ago still apply. There is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and never will be. If you search this forum for "XP 64"or do a web search for something like "iTunes Windows XP 64",  you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete.  
    As to alternatives, there are third-party utilities such as MediaMonkey, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer.  I haven't used any of these, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Store, so you will not be able to purchase content from the Store. The applications may also may not work with the most recent iPods, so confirm compatbility with your iPod model.
    Regards.

  • Please help cant install iTunes 7.7

    i was using the previous version and just started off an update when prompted for iTunes 7.7, but the update then failed (sadly it didnt really give any info about the failure). I have tried downlaoding and installing manualy but still no joy the installation just fails and says i need to reinstall iTunes.
    However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
    I tried doing a repair with the itunes 64 setup but that didnt seem to work either.
    I have since uninstalled quick time and tried to uninstall iTunes but still stuck in the same situation of it refusing to uninstall.
    Please help guys 'ANY' thoughts apreciated
    cheers

    However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
    Okay. Let's try uninstalling the existing version by other means.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    Now restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I Cant install iTunes, I said that I need a program in my windows installer

    I cant install iTunes in my computer. I said that my windows intaller is missing a program. Could you help me!?

    many thanks, that's perfect.
    No se pudo encontrar la ruta de acceso "C:/User/JEANCA~/AppData/Local/IXP859.TMP/appleSoftwareUpdate.msi"
    compruebe si dispone de acceso a esta ubicacion y vuelva a intentarlo o bien intente buscar el paquete de instalacion "AppleSotfwareUpdate.msi" en una carpeta desde la que pueda instalar el producto Apple Software Update
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • I cant download iTunes 10.5 on windows 7 HELP!!!!

    I cant download itunes 10.5 on windows 7 please HELP! Error message always comes up says unable to complete installation!

    I'm no expert, but I had the same problem and spent many many hours on my own and almost 4 hours on the phone with Apple last week.  My itunes would not update - I found online to uninstall it - big mistake.  Then I couldn't reinstall it for the sam reason it wouldn't update.  There are at lest six programs associated with itunes.  Apple had me uninstall all of them and then reinstall all of them - it was awful.  I discovered very early though that the one program in CONTROL PANEL was the Apple Software Updater.  Make sure that has updated the latest of whatever it tells you.  The Apple tech and I think that had I done that first, then maybe itunes would have updated.  You can also check to make sure all the Apple associated programs such as Quick Time are updated before installing.  These are easy fixes.  I also ran Check Disk to help make sure there weren't other problems.  After the Apple tech had me reinstall everything, I still had a problem with itunes closing down but upon more research in this community, I realized he did not have my install Quick Time after I re-installed Itunes.  I finally got everthing in sync and was shocked to not find my music on my isutff.  Then I found out it only downloads new purchases but you can to to your iphone/ipod/ipad and have it re-download those purchases.  Anything you put in your library from a CD or other source will not be available on your istuff until MATCH is activated.  Good luck - I feel for you - been there.  P.S. Apple support was great with me!!!!

    Nothing to go on there, you need to explain what you did, what error messages you got and what steps you have taken to fix the problem.
    I suggest you try this Apple help article  on troubleshooting install problems.

  • HT1926 cant install itunes on windows 7 64bit . cant run a required dll

    i cant install itunes on windows 7 64bit . when i run the setup and reach the status : "performing installation checks" , it said "there is a problem with this Windows Installer Package . A Dll required for this install to complete could not be run.v..v" what should i do now ?

    That's a bit rarer. It's a 1723 error message. (1721 and 1722 are more common.)
    Even though the following user tip is about slightly different errors (the 1721 and 1722), perhaps try it with your one too:

  • I cant install Itunes on my windows 8 laptop. (unspecified errors encountered)

    I have tried to install Itunes and Icloud on my windows 8 laptop. I have hunted all through the laptop and see no sign that any apple product has ever been on this laptop, yet iget errors during the install process that causes the installer to abort the install and go right to finish. I have tried to install Itunes repeatedly and it always fails at the same point. Icloud also fails to install. I get a message that says errors have been encountered, but no indication of what those errors are. can anyone suggest a fix for this? or tell me what it is I am doing wrong?

  • HELP I cant install itunes 10.5 on Vista

    My husband is going to kill me...I was trying to update iTunes so I could update my iPad and I kept getting the same error message, "The installer has insufficient priviledges to modify this file: C\programfile\apple software update\softwareupdate.resources\software update.tiff" So  I stupidly uninstalled iTunes and now it won't reinstall - I get the same error message. I don't know what to do! I attempted to uninstall the Apple Software Update program as well but I kept getting error messages telling me I don't have permission...  I'm about ready to panic.... Our computer has Vista running on it...

    Hello Vista People!  It has taken me an entire day to fix the problem that NOT A SINGLE POST clearly answered the issue of "cant install iTunes 10.5" on my vista machine.  Or worse yet, the problem I was getting was a Windows Installer error.  What I discovered was that there was a corrupted Apple Software Update program.  When I did as so many have suggested, and uninstalled all the Apple products, and then reinstalled, and was unable to get a iTunes 10.5 to install.  The key to notice if you have this problem is that when you look in the Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features, you will notice that Apple Software Update is showing, but there is no "publisher"....there is a file size, about 2.5 mb for me (yours could be different).  And when you right clicked or 'selected' the program in the the "uninstall or change a program" mode in the Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features you would not get anything to do.  You couldnt uninstall it.  So after uninstalling and reinstalling repeatedly, I noticed that the Apple Software Update simply was not able to be 'changed'.  So, I downloaded from Microsoft "Fixit" the program called:  Microsoftfixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.run.exe  found here:  http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall  I then ran this program and when asked how I wanted it to work, I selected the equivalent of "Let me" make the decisions, (Not the automatic fix) and then selected that I wanted to "Uninstall".  When it finished running, it gave me a list of programs to 'uninstall' and I selected Apple Software Update.  When it completed, I checked the Control Panel>Programs and Apple Software Update was gone.  Once it was gone, I was able to install iTunes 10.5 without a problem, and better yet, I also noticed after the installation, in the Control Panel>Programs Apple Software Update was listed with a Publisher.  Now everything works.  I believe there is some issue with Vista corrupting the Apple Software Update software during the uninstall process and Windows Installer doesn't deal with it correctly.  I hope at least one other person can benefit from this, because NOWHERE did anyone do, suggest or clearly advise on how this was to be done.
