I cannot get iTunes or QuickTime to install. I receive an "access denied" error even after uninstalling both completely.

I cannot get iTunes to install on my Windows 7 PC. I have uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime completely, and downloaded the newest versions. On installation, I receive an "access denied" error for both. I am on an administrator account, run as administrator, deleted my temp folder, everything. I cannot get either to install. Any suggestions? Very frustrating.

I am am seeing exactly the same scenario being played out as phitzdisco, on a Dell running Windows 7, and normally a very stable install at that. Steps followed
Uninstalled all the software correctly, following instructions, in the Program & program(x86) folders
Rebooted
Cleaned out the \appdata\local\temp directory
Download the latest iTunes
Run as user and a second time through after repeating the steps above as administrator
Three "Access is Denied" messages in the install

Cannot get iTunes 12.0 to install with OS 10.10

i have 2009 iMac with 4GB memory 3.06ghz intel core 2 duo. i have updated OS to Yosemite two day ago. i cannot get iTunes 12 to install. the dmg downloads and i go through the process of installation and get the install completed successfully. cannot find iTunes anywhere on computer i have tried restarting after install and still no iTunes

You can find iTunes in three places:
In the Dock, between FaceTime and iBooks icons.
In Launchpad: open it and you will find the iTunes icon.
In Finder: open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and open iTunes.
Note that iTunes may show up with the old icon the first time you open it, but it will be updated. Note that the latest iTunes version is 12.0.1, so if you do not have this version, open the Mac App Store, go to Updates and install the most recent version

Please Help! I can't get Itunes or Quicktime to install properly

Ok, I'm about fed up. I'm trying to get itunes installed along with quicktime, and everytime it goes through the installation & says everything is ok, but then when I try to run Itunes, it comes up an error. The problem seems to be with quicktime, b/c when I click on the quicktime applet in the control panel, I get "An exception occurs while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
The error I get when I try to pull up Itunes is:
Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry.....yadda yadda...
So then I click on more info, and I get this:
Exception Information
Code: 0xc0000005 Flags: 0x00000000
Record: 0x0000000000000000 Adress 0x0000000000000000
The following files will be included in the error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\NATALI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\5424_appcompat.txt
So anyway, I did a search for solutions in the database & I feel like I've tried all of them...at least all I could find. One said to go to a local settings folder & delete the temp folder, then reinstall. Did that...same thing. So then I saw something where you had to type a dll command in the run line, but that didn't work either. I also installed a microsoft visual basic file that was suggested might help, but it didn't. Actually, downloading that file helped me to get past the install probs, but now I can't pull the program up without an error. Please help! I really would like to put some music on my ipod. Incidentally, I recently reformatted my hd, and that's when the trouble began. I know, you're going to say just reformat, but right now is a very inconvenient time. I need a workable solution. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help. Thanks in advance.
p.s. already tried reinstalling, even hunting down residual files & registry entries with an uninstaller program to get a clean install...didn't work though.

Do you see iTunes.exe running in Task Manager > Processes?
You might try this to find conflicts

Cannot get Itunes 8 64-bit installed on Vista

I'm having a heck of a time trying to install itunes. I recently got Vista 64 and I have an ipod shuffle I would like to sync up with my computer but Itunes 64-bit is not installing. It loads up the install progress bar but it instantly says it's finished installing, but nothing gets installed. This might be because I first accidetntally installed the 32 bit version of itunes, but I uninstalled it when I realized I needed the 64 bit version. The 32 bit version didn't work either. But I don't understand why the 64 bit version is not installing. I tried clearing out the temp folder but I'm just wondering if anyone else is having this problem because it seems like it works for everyone else. Please help, thanks.

Thanks, I got it working... I deleted the temp files, restarted, and tried installing itunes, but at first it did the same thing, it skipped the installation and said it was finished. Then I remembered I read somewhere someone said try renaming the default directory so I renamed it to apple/intunes/ and tried installing and guess what, it worked fine! I have no idea why the directory name would be screwing up the install but I'm pretty sure that's what the problem was because that was the only thing that fixed it. Anyways, I'm happy now, itunes is working. Now I just need a Macbook pro with 8 gigs of ram and I'll be set.

I cannot get Itunes to recognize my Iphone4s, or Ipad 2 after installing IOS7? Says must install Itunes 11.1 So I did that and still no luck. Anyone got any advice???

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

I recently purchased Windows 8 laptop and installed Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to the new PC, I got iTunes to import it and sync it to my iPod (3rd gen). However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Contacts

I recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and istalled Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to my new PC I got iTunes to import it, and then synced it to my iPod (3rd gen.) However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Calendar or Contacts with my iPod. When I try it crashes Outlook. iTunes continues to try to sync, but when it finishes my Calendar and Contents are empty (ERASED!). I have de-installed and re-installed iTunes (according to Apple's instructions), repaired Office 2013 and Outlook, scanned for viruses (etc), cleaned out temp folders, defragmented, etc., etc., etc. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know houw to fix it? (HELP!)

Well, I guess I have to download some other software to make my apple product work. Really great stuff you guys sell. I will never buy another apple product. My Iphone, Ipod and Itunes are junk

Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/. If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and I don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to be sure that it will work on your first try, use internet explorer when you download itunes. Hope this helps...

This iPod Classic Community forum is a bad place to post your problem with iTunes, phone support wouild be good. but if you like to talk to support people, post your iTunes problem to the iTunes community forum.
Or you can read this Apple Support Article on Re-installing iTunes
Have a nice day!

Try b noir's post Standalone Apple Application Support install to see if that can repair the problem or provide futher information, otherwise try reinstalling again as shown in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

Cannot get apps or podcasts to install

Hi - no matter what I do, I cannot get podcasts or applications to install when I download directly from my iphone. This started after I donwloaded the most recent OS. They download OK but I only get a 'waiting' message. I keep hard booting but nothing works. I can only synch off my computer. Help!!!!

I tried installing an old version but it says that a newer version of quicktime is already installed.
Okay ... if there's no QuickTime showing in your "Uninstall a program" control panel, and you're getting that message, that usually indicates damage to the QuickTime.msi or related installation componentry.
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try reinstalling iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time? If so, are you able to launch iTunes without the error message?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

TS1717 I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC.

I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC. Anyone know how I do this? I cannot seem to find anything on Google, which is surprising.
iTunes helper launches OK, but not iTunes itself. Am I being dim?
Thanks

The iTunes application should be installed on the system drive. You may need to repair iTunes to fix that error regarding a missing .exe.
To organize your library properly see Make a split library portable.
If you don't have a working version of the library that can be transformed into a portable shape I have tools and techniques that can repair the broken links.
