How can I download, install, or remove iTunes successfully ?

During a recent iTunes software update I received this message: “The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK, to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package ‘iTunes.msi’ in the box below.” When I select OK or the provided folder option (Temp) I receive a message restating the already mentioned message. When I attempt to uninstall or remove my current iTunes software I receive the same message. Apple Support is unable to ratify the  problem stating that they can only help with hardware – Macs, iPods, and iPads –, to constantly suggest a removal of the software with the Control Panel (been there, done that, unsuccessful), provided me with a link that addresses problems with Apples Mac computers and iPod downloads (apparently Apple wasn’t listening), and imply that my computer is in need of repairs/ tone-up (done prior to this problem).

Try the following steps:
1. First, go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
(Referenceinstructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components)
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

    You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • How can I download & install Photoshop CS 5.1 for Mac?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with no CD drive, how can I download & install Photoshop CS 5.1 for Mac (I have my legit license key)

    Hi Andrew,
    Please use the below link to download CS5 Photoshop.
    Download CS5 products
    However since you are using a new MAC OS you might want to check the compatibility of the products.
    As CS5 is only tested on 10.5.7 and 10.6 MAC OS.
    Refer to below link

    how can I download my iRec into itunes

    iRec looks like an app in the iTunes Store.
    Go to the iTunes Store in iTunes and download it.  If you choose to use iTunes on your computer, go to the Store, and then search for iRec.  It will give you a screen like this:
    Choose the version you want and click the button under it to download.  Then sync your iPad using iTunes.

    The first thing you have to do is to remove the songs from iTunes, so right-click them and choose Delete.
    Then, follow these steps to redownload the songs > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 If you see the name of the song with a cloud icon after deleting it in the iTunes window, press it and it will be downloaded automatically

  • HT201272 How can I download from another countries iTunes store?

    I'm not from America, I'm Canadian and I can't download a specific album.  When I transfer to the American store it tells me I'm not authorized to download from there. 
    Anyone know how I can gain authorization?
    Thanks,

    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

  • How can I download from other countries iTunes Stores?

    I want to download from other countries iTunes stores but I have of course not a credit card for each of these countries and I can use my e-mail address only once (logically )to register. Any chance that I can download from i.E. the French store when I live in the UK?
    Thanks for helping me if possible

    Unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
    In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
    a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
    b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
    .......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

  • How can I download / install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac?

    My husband bought me Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for me as a gift, but for windows when I have a Mac.  I have the license number, but I need a mac download file.  How can I go about getting one?

    He bought it through Amazon as a download for windows. Therefore, I fear the download and/or license can only be used for windows.  I want to download PE9 for Mac and enter the license key to confirm, however, but I can't find a free download.  I thought the cost was associated with the license key and not the download, apparently I am wrong.

  • How can I re-install Lightroom,removed but still showing in Creative Cloud as being installed.

    Well I think I screwed up. Three days ago I purchased the Photography Creative Cloud and downloaded Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom. This evening I removed Lightroom through Windows un-install. It is still showing as being installed on the computer in the Creative Cloud window. I'm pretty sure I should not have un-installed it this way, but there it is. Is there anyway I can get it back on my computer? I am not ready for it yet but will need it in the future.
    Thanks for any help provided,
    Linda  

    Hi Linda,
    I think you're OK. The Creative Cloud window only updates daily, and/or with every relaunch. The Creative Cloud application currently has no uninstall utility, so you need to use the Windows control panel to uninstall.
    If you want to force an update to the Creative Cloud status, quit and relaunch the process. To quit, go to the gear icon in the upper right and choose quit at the bottom of the menu:
    If Lightroom doesn't show up as 'Install' after relaunching, let me know and I can investigate more.
    regards,
    steve

  • How can I download iOS 5 without iTunes?

    My computer can only support through Tiger, so I had to hook up my iPhone through my brother's computer months ago. Is there anyway for me to get iOS 5?

    Yes, you can sync from another computer. But since you have used your brother's Apple ID you will have to create your own Apple ID, so you cannot keep anything you've purchased on your brother's computer except apps.
