Help with Re-Installing Itunes on Windows XP

Somehow my Itunes was removed from my computer. I tried re-installing it by going on apple.com and downloading it. It starts to guide me through the re-installation process but a series of error messages come up disrupting the installation process: " The older version of Apple Application can not be removed from your computer. Contact your technical support group. I get this same message for "BONJOUR", "APPLES SOFTWARE UPDATE", and "QUICKTIME" I have gone under the control panel at ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS but to no avail. When trying to uninstall these programs to re-install, I get the message: " the feature you are trying to use is on a network that is unavailable"
I don't know what elso to do. If I have to lose my uploaded songs so be it. I just want my Itunes library back so I can purchase more songs and upload more CDs. Any help you could offer would be great. Even if it is to recommending another technical support system. Thanks

I wouldn't worry about that too much, Jimbo. There is probably a background application thats using that file. The real meat of that section is in steps two(Completely remove iTunes and QuickTime) and three(Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer).
Step number two will have you *Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled*, which is deleting leftover files that might be causing this issue.
Step number three will have you download a Microsoft utility, which will help get those applications "uninstalled" and out of Control Panel.
After you've verified the iTunes components are uninstalled and not showing up in iTunes, you should be able to reinstall the latest version of iTunes.

    Would be great if anyone knows a solution...

  • Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions did not work

    Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions didn't work.  Spent most of today installing and uninstalling itunes according to their instructions.  They will charge me again if I call again.

    When I run the iTunes64setup.exe it says: "The thingy is not a valid win32 application."
    That generally indicates that the installer has been getting damaged on the download.
    What web browser have you been using for downloading the iTunes64Setup.exe? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

    Repair your Apple Sofyware update.

  • How to install itune under Windows XP 64-bit professional with SP2?

    I have iPhone 3GS for over a year and I have set it up at my work computer (Windows XP professional) with latest iTune and it work great. Recently our IT has upgraded our system and all of our new machines has Windows XP 64-bit OS.
    I can't figure out how to install iTune under Windows XP 64-bit, to synch with my e-mail, contact and calendars any more?
    Can any one help?

    New machines? With XP 64-bit? Your IT department is being rather foolish, in my opinion, deploying new installations of XP 64 since Microsoft discontinued mainstream support for it (more than two years ago) and it's never really been satisfactory.
    Anyway, there is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and almost certainly never will be. If you search the iTunes for Windows forums for "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. Connecting to iPhones is one of the most problematic issues.
    Regards.

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from

    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

    Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

    Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online.  It is not possible to uninstall it.  Do you mean the iTunes application?  Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too.  You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

  • I cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 I receive the Error 7 (Windows Error 193).

    I cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 I receive the Error 7 (Windows Error 193). 
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but with no luck.  Does anyone have another option?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the above steps haven't helped try installing:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for a 32-bit core program, similar to previous 64-bit releases of iTunes.
    Or roll back to:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
    as appropriate.

  • Cannot install iTunes on windows 7 64bit

    Okay, I like so many cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 64bit.
    Now Orginally I got a message saying something to the effect of:
    There was a problem with the install you do not have permission for something...
    Through some investigating my iTunes was being installed and removing all my permissions to view and/or modify files within that folder. Even if I was logged in as admin and installed as admin all the permissions would simply block me out.
    This kind of had a familar feeling as in the last few versions of iTunes I had to run as admin just to open it (this is really annoying by the way)
    So I searched the net and many people were saying to uninstall everything "Apple" and try again.  So I did that.  Now I have this new message:
    there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
    And again I scoured the internet for a way to fix this.  I apparently am supposed to goto Control Pannel/Programs and Features and select Apple Software Update and select repair.  The problem is that no longer exists in my programs list since I removed it in the earlier step. iTunes still refuses to install spitting out the same error forever. I tried the Microsoft "fix it" tool which is supposed to remove the Apple Software Update incomplete uninstall (which is apparently the whole problem) but it doesn't show up in the list for "fixing".
    I am at a loss.  Why doesn't Apple fix this.  I cannot update my iPhone to the latest software in fear I may need to restore it. With no iTunes that is impossible.  I cannot change any of my music or do anything until this is resolved.  If/when iPhone 5 comes out I cannot get it either unless this issue is taken care of somhow.
    I searched for an installer for just the Apple Software Update program But it seems to not exist as a standalone thing (it would be useful if it were though). If it were perhaps I could install it again and then successfully remove/repair it and iTunes might install finally.
    Now I have had previous versions of iTunes working perfectly fine.  I do not recall which version I was using before I tried to update and fell into this abyss however.

    Yes b noir. I've tried running just "iTunes64.msi" from the command-line and while it didn't produce the same error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vender." it produced a different error in bold-type "iTunes Installer Completed" then "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured...Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified...Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit". However, I discovered a wealth of options from the Windows Installer to try after typing "iTunes64.msi passive"...So I'll experiment some more when I have time.
    P.S. I'm becoming more convinced that Apple is putting new software out there to get it debugged which was a trick that MicroSoft always seemed to do:-)
