Help need please! iTunes update won't install on Vista

Everytime I try to update or reinstall iTunes when Vista restarts it goes into safe mode then "repair". The only way I can then recover my PC is to roll back to an older instance of Vista without iTunes installed. I have repeated this process several times without success.
One hint maybe is that before updating iTunes I got this message: The file "itune library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes".
Help please!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Instead of updating iTunes from the Mac App Store, download it from the Apple site -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download After downloading it, open the downloaded file and install iTunes 12.0.1.

  • Itunes update won't install

    I have Windows 7 64bit and the latest update for iTunes corrupted my computer. It won't install and I can not launch iTunes. I tried uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components but Apple Mobile device Support will not uninstall. I've rebooted several times and tried to install the latest version several times only to be met with the following error messages:
    Install failed "APS DAEMON.EXE error. MSVCR80.dll missing" and "iTunes not installed correctly. Error 7 (windows error 1236)"
    What do I do now?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you go to the general iTunes for Windows forum, where this subject has been addressed in a number of threads.
    Regards.

  • Latest iTunes update won't install correctly

    Anyone else having problems installing the latest update? 11.1.4 64bit Not only will it not install (trying to access Registry incorrectly), but has stopped iTunes working completely. Have tried manual installs, uninstalling & reinstalling from website and have lost it completely. anyone else having this rob;em?
    I am running Windows 7

    There have been multiple threads in the community that report this problem. I had to restore both a desktop and a laptop to an earlier restore point and rollback to the earlier version of iTunes (11.1.3). Both machines run Windows 7 64-bit OS.  The install seems to lose MSVCR80.DLL. Others report good results by removing all Apple apps from the Control Panel and reinstalling iTunes from a fresh website download.

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

  • HT201210 Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes  won't run

    Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes  won't run

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
