Why will itunes not allow me to download new software onto new laptop

hi
wjy will itunes not allow me to download the new software to my new laptop, ive put my desrired email address in but it wont download

Greetings BevAnneS,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like it does not recognize that iTunes is installed. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, Don't uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Why will itunes not install on my macbook pro

Why will I-tunes not work on my brand new macbook pro?

Yes, it asks me to download 10.6.3 but when i click update it says. The update “iTunes” can’t be installed. The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs. I have updated all other updates and restarted the computer multiple times with no luck.

Why will itunes not install on my windows 8.1 machines

I've tried 4 times to install iTunes on a new Sony windows 8.1 machine but it keeps telling me that the program is incompatible. I have been using iTunes for years and had it on my old machine running Win 7. With win 8.1 I keep getting error msgs that the program is incompatible. Once it did install but when I tried to use it the first time I got an error that the program was shutting down and that windows would look for a solution.
Any help?
Thanks,
Tom

I'm going through the threads to find a solution to my 8.1 problem as well but while I am here I will share what I have come across in the forums:
1. Right click the installation file and run it into compatibility mode for Windows 7
OR
2. This user replied to someone else (which looks like a similar question):
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24285339#24285339
It talks about moving a .dll file.
*Note this .dll thing worked for me with an earlier problem and I had seen it on another forum. It seems to work for a LOT of people with 8.1
Good luck!
I am off to find an answer to why my audio disapears while watching a movie in itunes with a Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit PC.

Why does itunes not show the ipad in devices?

Plug the iPad on itunes-windows and it does not show as device. cannot syncronize. The iPad was set up automatically and it is signed to a wifi

Here's a few things you can try:
- If you haven't tried disabling your anti virus software and turning off the Firewall, do that then restart your PC and the iPad.
- Try another cable to make sure it's that that
- Try connecting to another computer to verify that your computer is not the issue
- If none of these work then your iPad might need service. Take it to your nearest Apple Store

Why will iTunes not start after installing latest updates on a windows computer?

I got the usual notification that an update for iTunes on a windows 7 computer was available and told it to install
It went through the motions and seemed to install,. but when I tried to open iTunes on completion I got the message below.
I subsequently removed iTunes and reinstalled after manually removing various iTunes folders, then reinstalled iTunes with the same result of the error message so I removed iTunes again and installed an older version of iTunes which worked fine until yesterday I was notified of an update for the iCloud, which I installed and am back at square one with the same error message.
I have tried to send an e-mail to Apple but they make it virtually impossible, so I would appreciate any advice anyone can give. I cannot be bothered with all this mucking avbout every time there is an upgrade
Thanks, Mactoshb

Hi, I carried out the advice and after reloading, Itunes is starting OK but I could not delete most of the files and folders mentione,d constantly getting the message that they were open in some unspecified program and to close it to continue, problem was I had no idea what the program was that they were open in.
However I have Ashampoo uninstaller installed and it identified various programs associated with Apple and after uninstalling them I reinstalled iTunes and it is working fine now.
Question, am I going to get this cobblers every time Apple offer an upgrade?????
Anyway thanks for your help and hopefully this posting will help others, as I doubt I am unique and others will have the same problem, Time perhaps Apple sorted it out

Why will iTunes not work on my computer?

I cannot get iTunes to work on my desktop computer. I had a crash some time ago and think it may have to do with a missing driver. I hope someone can help me with this problem. I can access iTunes on my laptop but it is not convenient.

What computer is it?
Have you tried to fully uninstall the program and reinstall it?

Why will iTunes not play certain MP3s?

I have a lot of music, and most of the music files are .mp3s.
iTunes lets me import the great majority of these files, some of these won't play in iTunes and so also can't be put onto my iPod.
I tried to convert the files using various software and even Adobe Audition can't open the files.
I can't see why this is happening and the only way these files can be sorted is when you hover over the files with cursor and no information about them appears such as the song title, album title, or bit rate etc... and they cannot be renamed.
VLC player can play them however.
If anybody can tell me what is going on and how I could go about getting them on iTunes that would be great.
Any help is appreciated.

Windows Media Player can't open the file either.
Have you got any suggestions for file conversion programs, I have tried Total Video Converter and Adobe Audition but they can't even open the file never mind convert it.
Knowing that VLC can play it gives me some hope that it can be converted somehow, but nothing I have tried has worked.
Any help would be great.

Why will iTunes not sync to my iPod after installing the latest update for iTunes?

I haven't done one of those for a while. But the following troubleshooting document might still be worth a shot:

Why will itunes not debit my gift card credit?

I've got a $25 credit indicated next to my username, yet when I click to purchase, the only option I have is to authorize my credit card or enter a new gift card. This has worked for me before, so I cannot figure out what is wrong.

ITunes on my MacBook Pro will not detect my iPad

I have a MacBook Pro and the latest version of iTunes - it detects my iPhone 5 but will not detect my iPad (2). I want to back up my iPad on iTunes because my iCloud is full, and I am thinking about getting a new iPad. Any suggestions??

We have no idea which version of OS X you are running, so here are two support articles about your issue.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X - Support - Apple
Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
Sometimes it's as easy as quitting iTunes, restarting the Mac, restarting the iPad. Give that a try if you haven't done so already.

I tried to restored my iPad1's iOS5 to factory setting. There are error messages. Now my iTunes could not detect my iPad anymore. How can I proceed from here?

Hi All,
I have problems with iOS5 installed on my iPad1.
After successfully installing the new iOS5, my iPad1 apps are jumbled up with my wife's apps. Some of my paid apps are missing.
So, i tried to restore to factory default. Now, my iTunes could not detect my iPad, and my iPad only shows the picture "to connect iPad to iTunes".
I restarted my iMac and checked that all softwares are up to date.
Please advise.
Many thanks.

If you restored from a backup, you simply restored the corrupt files again.
You could find the corrupt file through a slow process of eliminating apps and data - removing all content - and then syncing content back again - slowly adding apps back on - until the problem surfaces again - and the you could pin down the last apps or apps that you just added as being the problem apps/files. You may find the corrupt file - and you may not.
Your backups can be deleted by going to iTunes on you computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. You will see your backups/backups in that window. Click on the backup and then click on delete backup - if that is what you really want to do.
