HELP! problem with downloading itunes?

I have an Ipod shuffle and I had iTunes on my computer. I went to a website and wanted to view a Quick time video and downloaded iTunes with Quicktime. It wouldn't install on my computer and came up with an error that said "Runtime error" Now, my old iTunes won't work and I can't seem to install any version of itunes at all! It is very frustrating. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I have a Sony laptop (only 2 months old) with Windows XP. Thanks again for any help you can give me.

Hello 13579nonylie,
I would suggest steps 1, 3, and 5 of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1. If you get to step 3, close all the apps. Here is step 1 to get you started:
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
If that does not work then I would troubleshoot iTunes for 3rd party plugins in safe mode with this article:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
And if the issue still persists in safe mode, I would recommend recreating your iTunes library.

  • Problems with downloading iTunes..

    I keep getting error 7 and windows error 193 when I try to download iTunes 64 to my computer..I've tried both IE and Firefox and still get the same message. I used to have itunes and uninstalled it to update with a clear slate as this "new computer" is used and was loaded with music I didn't care for. I now have an iPod touch and can't do a thing with it! FRUSTRATED!!

    This is helpful...thank you. I have learned that I need to acquire administrative privileges in order to install the software, as I am trying to install the software on my company's laptop (don't have a computer at home). Do you know of a way around this?

  • Problem with Downloading iTunes

    I have recenty purchased a new laptop, I have tried to download the 10.4 version of iTunes. I am not the most computer literate, the software is Windows 7 and the Internet Explorer version is 8. When I try to download it I get the following message:
    The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.
    I contacted Apple and the instructions were to follow a link for the problem:
    "Windows reports that iTunesSetup.exe is not a "valid Win32 application"
    So with the link the Customer Service sent me it tells you to do the following:
    1. Remove all copies of iTunesSetup.exe from this computer (the file you download when you click Download iTunes).
    2. Open Internet Explorer.
    3. Choose Safety > Delete Browsing History
    Well for #1 how would I know if I have a copy, my point being that if I had it already than why would I delete it; since to my knowledge this is what I want in the first place? 

    Second part of the message - for some reason it was sent without finishing. Sorry!
    For #3 "Delete Browsing History" it lists different choices that you can check off.
    Preserve Favourite Websites Data
    Temporary Internet Files
    Cookies
    History
    Form Data
    Passwords
    In Private Filtering Data
    What do I check off?
    Lastly, I contacted an iTunes CSR and she told me that the problem is that I have Service Pack #1 and I need Service Pack #2. I should go to the Internet and upload/download it. Well the Internet has one for Vista and WP, I am sorry I am not sure which I have if at all? Can someone please assist me where I may find this information. Sorry much appreciated.

  • Problems with downloading iTunes 10.4.1 upgrade

    I am having problems downloading/updating iTunes 10.4.1. After I click "Accept" it starts to download and then the authorization screen reappears. I have not had problems with iTunes updates in the past.

    I install the current version from current, extra and community (and kde-mod) repository only. No testing, no unstable. It was during a normal upgrade (pacman -Syu) ... I checked, there's the last version
    I noticed that now the python is 2.5 instead of 2.4.4. But, in /usr/lib, I still have a directory /python2.4 beside the new /python2.5 directory. The modules gnomecanvas (and somes other) are in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk2.0/gnome ... not in /usr/lib/python2.5 ... directory.
    I tried to move it ... but it doesn't work (I'm not surprise ... but I wanted to try in case of ...)
    For the release not, after thinking, I arrived to the same conclusion than you ... but it doesn' solve my problem ...

  • Problems with downloads iTunes 8.0

    Hi,
    I am having trouble downloading with iTunes 8.0. I am trying to download Heroes, Second Season, in HD version and here is what I am running into:
    - First, although I only bought the HD version, my downloads queue shows all chapters duplicated, one in HD version and one in Standard version. Fortunately, I was only charged once, so far.
    - Second, every time my download is interrupted (lost Internet connection, computer went into sleep mode, etc) and I resume my downloads, iTunes starts from scratch.
    Any comments???

    Well - since the distiller server included up to 100 users, I thought it would be the best product for more than 1 person to quickly make PDFs from "all" applications. But as I now see - it is not the best user friendly interface, since the users must print to file and find the listened folders to save the postscript file into.
    Maybe a combination of Acrobat 8.0 for the users who needs to send PDFs to outhouse prints and to the users that needs user friendly interface, and PDF distiller to the rest...
    Strange though, that the PDF Printer does not work as "planned", we do get the save as... and PDF as file extension when using the distiller servers PDF Printer, but the file seem to go up in smoke...

  • Problems with downloading iTunes in iOS 6

    Hello everyone
    In iOS 5 when I downloaded music from iTunes it use to be saved in the Music folder. And now since updated to iOS 6 I have purchased songs and they are nowhere to be seen in my iPhone 4S.  Please can someone tell me where I a, going wrong?

    When you update to 6.0.1.. you remember if you update or restore and take your backup?
    Because I've see that many many times if anyone take his backup of iOS 5.x to iOS 6.x has a problem!!
    Try to restore and start your device to a new device, without backup!

  • HT1725 Problem with downloading "iTunes Extras" from digital copy of a movie purchase

    When I downloaded a digital copy of Despicable Me 2 I saw the movie and the separate "iTunes Extras" downloading.  However, it seemed to get stuck on "processing".  After restarting the "extras" have disappeared.  Any way to get them back?

    It will depend upon if the rights-holder keeps the film in your country's store, but you shouldn't rely on being able to do so  - you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup copy of all of your downloads from the store, you are only guaranteed one download of each item.

  • PLEASE HELP-problem with downloaded files!

    I have downloaded some games and stuff from the internet to my new iMac(Leopard10.5.1). I open the files, copy to applications, or install from the folder-and that should be it, right?? Unfortunately, this is not so! I have to go through this same process every time I want to use one of my downloads. I have to re-enter serial numbers and all that stuff EVERY TIME!!! Why is this happening? I don't understand...

    No, it's the computer. The files are fine, the computer just doesn't seem to keep the info once I install. Never had this issue with any of my previous macs.

    had a problem with my itunes so i had went on itunes website and reinstall itunes for windows and after it complete it said that the feature yoy are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable i need help please!!!!!!!!!

    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
           next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
        oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

  • Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

    Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

    Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
    So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:
