HELP - Re-Installing iTunes

hi. somehow my computer lost some files relating to iTunes. it is asking me to re-install. but when i do, it's telling me that i have a later version of iTunes and it just stops. in the mean time, i have done system restores and completely whiped the songs from my iPod. i am getting pretty frustrated.
can anyone please help me?
Thanks!

Suze, just a suggestion, you are probably going to find a lot more help if you re-post in the iTunes for Windows forum under installation & upgrades, if this is related to upgrading iTunes to 5.0. I assume you are on Windows since you didn't post any computer information?

    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.

  • I need help re-installing itunes.  I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support.  Any solutions?

    I've been trying to upgrade to/install Itunes 10.  When trying to do so, I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support.
    Per what I saw as a response to someone else who had a similar issue, I thought a fix might be to uninstall my existing Itunes, then try to re-install the Itunes 10.  I tried that.  However, I still get the same error message.  Now, I have no Itunes.   
    I tried to email Apple, and they have not replied.
    Anyone offer any solutions? 

    me too did you get any help?

  • Need help: When installing iTunes on Windows 7, installer is stopping at "Installing Apple Application Support". Can anyone help....this is the first time I am using an Apple product and it sure is not very user friendly!!!

    I am trying to install itunes but the installer is not going beyond the "Installing Apple application support" stage,

    Do you have any of these programs installed?
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    I had the trouble that if an old #4 or #5 was installed, a full iTunes install did not work.
    If you have any of the above installed, try this,

  • Need help with installing itunes.

    I seem to be having trouble installing itunes. it seems all fine till it starts removing applications then the message "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group." comes up and itunes does not get installed. I have uninstalled all previous itune programs and even quicktime, but it still doesn't change the outcome. Anyone out there know how to fix or what i have to remove to let the installation finish.

I have tried downlaoding and installing manualy but still no joy the installation just fails and says i need to reinstall iTunes.

    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?

  • HELP cannot install itunes, uninstall itunes or uninstall quicktime

    Hello - Went to upgrade my orig ver of itunes ver 6.0 to the video version to grab some music videos, and that is when all went to ****.
    Got an error message that itunes was unable to install to my PC. PC is p4 running winXP sp2/3.
    Error code: -3
    Went to uninstall itunes, and got another error message that itunes was unable to complete the task with NO error code.
    Also went to uninstall quicktime, and apparently the uninstall is not on my computer. I reinstalled quicktime, which was successful, but after rebooting and then trying to uninstall quicktime again, i got same error message quicktime uninstall cannot be found, quicktime cannot be uninstalled.
    I did manage to get itunes successfully uninstalled.
    After reboot and clearing out temp files and cache then again rebooting, then attempting to reinstall itunes VER 6.0 just the plain version for windows, NOT the video version, i again got error message that itunes was unable to install on my PC.
    PLEASE HELP.
    i cannot seem to load in a successful ver of itunes to listen to music, nor uninstall/install quicktime.
    FYI -
    Quicktime will not work when opened through itunes and through start menu, but will work when opened in the program and actually clicking on the .exe button.
    pls help! i just want regular ver of itunes without video now, just want to listen to music what i bought, thnx

    YES it is a Windows 98 based software, since i was unable to find older ver of Quicktime, i used what i had.
    Incidentally, i figured out that when i went to install the Video ver of itunes, the ver 6.0 did not completely uninstall, some files were somehow corrupted.
    There is a round about fix located on the windows tech support section which deleted previous Windows installer programs that in turn deletes older versions of programs, you pick from a list that the program detects, and it will delete all older versions.
    Here is the link, if you know anyone that needs it..
    it fixed my PC, after using this program i was able to successfully install 1st- the standalone version of quicktime, then itunes without incident.

  • Help to install iTunes and Quick Time please!

    I really hope you can help me. I have been working my way through this forum for around 5 hours today. I have tried a number of your suggestions and have made some progress.
    - My iTunes hasn't been working for some time. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall a fresh version but it wouldn't uninstall.
    - So following forum advice, I downloaded and ran Windows Install Clean Up and also did a manual deletion exercise. This left a few odd files that wouldn't delete.
    - I have downloaded iTunes 8.2 but it won't install. I get an error message: "error writing to file: c:\programfiles\commonfiles\apple\mobile device support\syncservices\schemas\calendars.syncschema\contents\windows\calendars.ex e Verify that you have access to that directory" and eventually I get a message telling me that iTunes needs Quick Time.
    - I also downloaded the stand alone version of Quick Time. When trying to install it I get the error message "error writing to file:c:\programfiles\quicktime\pictureviewer.resources\ko.1proj\pictureviewerlo calized.dll Verify that you have access to that directory"
    - I can confirm that I am the only user of this computer and I have administrator rights.
    - I have installed the latest Microsoft updates.
    - I have restarted my computer about 3 times, after each major thing I've tried.
    Totally Stuck Now!
    I did read a suggestion about using a Microsoft fix but it involves going into the registry and I don't have the confidence to do that, I don't really know what I'm doing at all, I'm just following my nose!
    When my computer starts up CheckDisk says "correcting error in index $0 16208" and after correcting and sorting it says "an unspecified error occurred".
    Please help!!

    It sounds as though the file referred to in the error message is corrupt and Windows cannot read it.
    Try running a disk check. If it finds and fixes errors, try reininstalling. If not it it doesn't work, go on to the next step.
    Try renaming c:\programfiles\commonfiles\apple\mobile device support\syncservices\schemas\calendars.syncschema\contents\windows\calendars.ex e as ...calendars.old.
    If Windows will not allow that, then rename the containing folder.
    This should allow the install to proceed as it will not see the corrupt file.
