Hi. I can't seem to install iTunes 10.5 on my Windows Vista Starter laptop.

Each time I try (about six times in the past 5 hours), this pops up: "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."
I've tried a bunch of methods I found online (regedit, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc.) but I was hoping you could recommend a better solution.
Help, please?

Hi again! Fixed it myself, but here's what I did (in case anyone else encounters the same problem):
Control Panel > Programs and Features > Add or Remove Programs
1. Uninstall iTunes (if you're upgrading, but if it's a fresh install, disregard this step)
2. Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support
3. Uninstall Apple Application Support
4. Uninstall Bonjour
5. Repair Apple Software Update. If you can't, try uninstalling. I couldn't uninstall or repair mine (the same error message appeared) so I used Microsoft Fixit Engine (http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall) to uninstall it.
6. Download the iTunes installer and run it. Voila!

I am unable to install Itunes 10.6 on my windows vista 64. What do I need to do to be able to install?

How can I install Itunes 10.6 on my windows Vista 64?

No, but you do at least have to buy Snow Leopard. Whether you can run it depends on what iMac you have:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:

Installing iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows Vista X64

Hey guys,
Sorry if this has been covered in the past, I looked over the forum and couldn't find anything on this. However I have a solution for installing iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows Vista x64.
What was happening was that anytime I installed iTunesSetup.exe from Windows Vista x64 it said it couldn't find QuickTime and aborted the install. Well what was happening is that all 32 bit installers now go to the "Program Files (x86)" directory. And the install team at Apple hard coded iTunes Install to look for the QuickTime folder in "c:\Program Files" instead of getting the location provided by the OS ("c:\Program Files (x86)\"). So it blows up when it cannot find the QuickTime directory in the wrong location.
First download QuickTimeInstaller.exe and install QuickTime. (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/)
Move the QuickTime folder from c:\Program Files (x86) to c:\Program Files
Then download iTunesSetup.exe and install iTunes. (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/)
Worked perfectly for me. Let me know if anybody has any problems. I would also like to forward what I found to apple so that they can fix this in the future. Does anybody know a good source to send this too?

Maybe you can hel me

How do I install iTunes 10.5.3 on Windows Vista?

I've been trying for some time to install iTunes on my computer for some time now. As I'm sure you're aware, the iPod Touch currently requires 10.5.3 in order to operate. Here are the issues I've been having:
After the I run the Setup and the iTunes Installer starts to run, this message pops up maybe two minutes into the process:
An error occured during the installation of assembly
'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32".version="8.0.50727.
6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9alel8e3b",processo
rArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support
for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070002
I click Okay, and the installation process continues, up until the Status bar reads "Starting Services," at which point:
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device)
failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges
to start the system services.
Clicking "Retry" yields the same result, clicking "Ignore" skips to the end of the installation process, and clicking "Abort" rolls back the process and restarts at a certain point, until the end of the installation. I get the "Congratulations!" screen, click "Finish" to exit the installer, but when iTunes tries to start up:
Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application support is required to run iTunes. Please
uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2 (Windows error 2)
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times. I have restarted the computer after uninstalling and waited to reinstall. Nothing seems to work. All of this is exactly what occurs and quite frankly, it's more trouble than it's worth. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know ASAP.

The forums for members of Apple's developer programs are here:
http://developer.apple.com/devforums/
If you're not doing development yourself, I would advise against installing either iTunes 10.5 or especially iOS 5. Both are beta software and almost certainly have faults and incomplete features. You definitely should not install iOS 5 on any device you depend on for general use.
Regards.

Can't seem to install iTunes 7.4.3 in Vista

I downloaded the iTunes743Setup from apple and can't seem to get it to run or install. Asks for permission and then seems to run a few seconds and then nothing. Downloaded it again and also updated security center, but still can't install it. Anyone else have this problem? What did you do?

I can get it to install in Vista 64 bit version but it is telling me to uninstall and reinstall because it now is missing files to burn discs. Funny thing it started this after the last update. If I can find a 7.2 version will go back to that one, it worked fine.

HT1925 I can't install iTunes 11.1.4 on Windows Vista...

The message I keep getting is "MSVCR80.dll is not found. Re-installing will fix this problem."
....ater 4 attempts, it DIDN'T...HELP!!!!!!!

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.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
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.

Unable to install iTunes 8.1.1 for windows vista home premium 32 bit

When program is installing from version 7.3, a message comes up stating I have a newer version of QuickTime which is impossible. Having purchased a new iPod Nano I cannot use it because iTunes 8.1.1 has not worked out bugs, or so it seems, to download it successfully. If anyone has had this happen and figured out what the problem is, I would love to read your answer.

Hi,
Yes, I have followed the troubleshooting tips in the following article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926.
I still had the issue after removing the application and cleaning up the installer files on my computer.
Two weeks ago I spoke with Apple technical support. We were unable to come to any conclusion as to any reason why the computer states there is a newer version of QuickTime.
Quite frustrating having purchased an iPod Nano.

TS3212 Cannot install iTunes to my PC running Windows Vista. Message "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory....Log on as administrator." I am logged on as administrator. I am attempting to install from download by right-clicki

I've had iTunes on my PC forever. Because recent updates have aborted with the message:"The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory... Log on as administrator," I am now attempting to download a fresh copy from the Apple website. Same message! I am logged on as administrator. I can download, then attempt to run by right-clicking on the installer and selecting, "Run as administrator" but that gets me only to the same point (and message) as attempting to install directly from the internet. I've never seen this message with any other download. What gives?

What's the precise name of the directory being mentioned? (Give the full file path, please.)

Cannot install iTunes 10.6.3 for Windows Vista

Half way through installing the process stops with the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." What exactly would I be missing??? please help !

Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR,

Why can't I install iTunes on my 64-bit Windows 7 desktop?

When I go to the installation page and input my email address, the full page doesn't seem to load, but then I click on what I assume is the "download" button (though can't really tell because the pictures don't load properly) and nothing happens. After a minute or so it just goes back to the iTunes page and if I click download it all just happens again.
What am I missing?

Thanks, I found the link to the direct installer and installed it. But when I tried to run iTunes after installation an error message occurred: "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTines, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)". Same thing happened when I uninstalled and re-installed.
Can anybody assist with fixing this?

I can't seem to install some apps that i downloaded for my iPad from my Mac. i have tried syncing them but they still don't appear on the pad. how do i go about this?

i can't seem to install some apps that i downloaded for my iPad from my Mac. i have tried syncing them but they still don't appear on the pad. how do i go about this?

These are iPad apps correct?
Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing apps>Off or Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content?
Are you sure that the Apps are selected to sync from the Mac to the iPad?
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on Install next to the apps that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Apps Heading to select it
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu.
