I can't get Itunes to work windows error 2

I keep getting error messages when installing itunes in windows 7 it says error 2

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

    I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

    I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

  • Can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit

    I can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit. It won't even download.

    These are the Windows requirements according to the iTunes dpownload site http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/http://:
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    xp 64 bit is not mentioned but it doesn't seem to be supported for the latest ITunes so it seems that you're out of luck.

  • How can I get iTunes running on Windows XP as well as a newer laptop running Windows 7 to both recognize my new iPhone 4S?  It seems to work fine with Win 7 PC so far, but not at all with the XP OS separate laptop.

    How can I get iTunes running on a Windows XP machine as well as, separately on a newer laptop running Windows 7 to both recognize and sync with my new iPhone 4S?  I have different libraries on each machine which I need to sync with the iPhone, both in iTunes.  It seems to be workiing fine on the Windows 7 machine, but not even reconizing the device at all in iTunes on Windows XP.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

  • Can't get iTunes to work with 2 User Accounts

    I've tried to find my specific problem on previous threads but it seems that each situation is just a little different. I have two user accounts on my family shared Windows XP Home edition PC. Last week I installed my son's iPod/iTunes using the install disc. I changed the default to C:\documents and settings\user1\My Documents. Life was good. Then I got an iPod of my own. I followed the same install as above only changed the path to user2's account. I went to iTunes and everything was working just fine for user2. The next time user1 tried to access iTunes on his desktop under his Windows user account, he said it just kept searching. (Windows error message with flashlight) He decided to pop the install disc in and see what happens. (yikes!) He took all of the defaults and left both users with nothing working. Infact at that point iTunes was still on the user desktops but only pages and pages of HTML code would display if you tried to launch iTunes. I deleted all traces of itunes and iPod I could locate and went through the same reinstall process as before. I was able to locate user 2's libary and everything worked fine. (That's mine) Poor user1,(my son) we can't get anything installed to his user. The install disk recognizes only my installation and wants to remove everything first. I;ve done that a few times and still can only get user 2 working but not both.

  • Can't get iTunes Match on Windows

    Has anyone ever been able to get iTunes Match on Windows?
    According to information from Apple it is possible.
    According to my real life experiences, it is NOT possible.
    I'm using this URL:
    https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    Clicking on the "Subscribe..." button opens up iTunes and then pops up this dialog:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    Yeah, well, I tried it again. I tried on a Windows XP machine, I tried it on a Windows 7 machine, and on a Windows 8 machine. All freshly installed. Same results on all machines.
    I emailed Apple support, they gave me standard replies like  "Restart your router" and "Check your firewall".
    I reeeally don't think that's the issue here. My servers have been running web, ftp, mail, games, and a BUNCH of other services 24/7 for years. It's what I do. It's what I've done for 20 years.
    Is there anyone that can give me a real answer?
    Best regards,
    J.

    Hi there
    I did as you suggested, step by step and I still have exacly the same problem. 
    When I click on "Store", "Turn on iTunes Match", iTunes crashes and I constantly get an error message "iTunes has stopped working".
    This problem is still there despite upgrading to the latest version of ITunes for Windows.
    Any other ideas?

    when i try to open it i get this "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?" when i download the app it just keeps telling me the same thing!

  • New iPod Touch, Can't get iTunes to work, extra headaches

    Hello,
    This is my first day in the Apple world: I caved and thought it would be good to get a new mp3/video player after my last one died. I ended up getting a 4th Gen Black iPod Touch - not sure if the color matters, but why not?
    Anyway, my second problem (first being the weird packaging, of tape through plastic then stuck on) started with iTunes: the thing just would NOT download. Every time I tried, the website kept saying "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to completecould not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." That's just great: I can't get any music or video ONTO my iTouch without iTunes...right?
    After browsing around I found an older version of iTunes that seemed to work. Yay! But not really. Nobody ever mentioned that .flac and .avi files can't be imported into iTunes at all...so I had to go hunting online for third party converters. This took care of THAT problem...
    However, now that conversion is up, the older version of iTunes won't pick up my iPod Touch and Sync it. There is actually a "Sync iPod" button under "File" tab, but it's grayed out and I can't use it.
    Not entirely sure if this is why, but according to a few people, when a new iTunes comes out, the older one stops functioning as fully as it originally did, forcing people to upgrade their iTunes in order to make it work like normal.
    I tried to find a third party program to pick up my iPod Touch so I could upload files, but no luck. I feel like an idiot for not knowing how to turn source code into a program, and the binary installers I did find were user-hostile (ie. Right clicking to bring up a menu actually plays the movie and there's no stop button, you have to end task from the task manager). Windows Explorer only shows one folder in my iPod Touch, which is empty and four letters long, which gives no clue as to what it is.
    So here's my big question: now that I finally am fully ready to upload my files to my iPod Touch, I can't. Why?
    Is it my version of iTunes? Why can't I download iTunes' newest version? Why does updating from the older version yield the same result (though I'm sure both installers are the same)? Is there another way to get all my media onto my device?
    Thanks in advance...talk about a four hour headache...

    I've used the Reset Network Settings feature in my iPod Touch after every failed attempt to connect to my wireless network. I've also reset the wireless access point and router after making changes to them.
    It appears that my Touch is finding the wireless network, accepting the security password/key, and connecting to the wireless access point and router (I get a full signal on the strength indicator). However, the Touch appears to be acquiring the IP Address automatically, right? Thus, it gets the IP Address starting with "169". If I can manually set up the TCP/IP settings, I believe I can get it to connect. Is there a way to set up the TCP/IP settings manually?

  • I can't get itunes to work because quicktime doesn't install properly

    I just got an ipod nano, which, as the cd reads, needs the newest version of itunes. itunes, from the cd as well as downloaded from the internet, installs perfectly. Quicktime, however, does not.
    When I try to install it in the itunes/quicktime combo, my error message reads "QuickTime installation failed: Error code : -3", and then "1628: Failed to complete installation."
    When I download Quicktime on its own, it displays error message 1402, saying it can't access some registry keys, then -1603: Fatal error during installation. Comsult Windows installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information.
    I'm just so confused, and all I want is to get to my itunes. I hate quicktime now more than ever, since it keeps me from itunes and I DONT EVER USE IT. HELP? ANYONE? PLEASE?

  • Can't get printer to work (Windows - Arch)

    I have an XP box and my Arch box on my home network, have Lexmark X1100 connected to XP box (USB printer). It worked fine on Ubuntu, I know it can work but I haven't gotten anything going using the Arch wiki on CUPS. Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf:
    # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

    I was using the Gnome cups manager on Ubuntu, but I cannot find this package on my system now. I see it in AUR but shouldn't it be in pacman? I have searched and searched but can't find it. And I installed gtklp, but upon startup it just gives me "No printers found!" and exits.
    EDIT: I have just built gnome-cups-manager from AUR and am at the point where I select a driver, however in the Manufacturer list there is nothing showing, and when I hit Install Driver and select the .ppd I got from the CUPS site for my printer, it just says "The PPD    /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark-X125-drv_x125.ppd is already installed"  I can't get past this point??
