I couldn't open my iTunes and now I can't install iTunes

Hi, I couldn't open my iTunes last week. I kept getting an error message and a note saying it would send a report to apple. My friends suggested uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it so, I followed the steps from this link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224) to uninstall iTunes. When I tried installing iTunes I got the following message "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again. (Huge exclamation point) The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." I have tried a few times to reinstall and have had gotten this message every single time. Also, when I tried backing up my iTunes library incase I had to reboot my computer, everything that was purchased from the iTunes store had an error message behind it. My Amazon music was fine and copied over problem free, but my iTune music was very wishy-washy. I'm at a loss about what to do now. Does anyone know what to do?

There is a knowledge base article devoted to this already. Do you still have a technical issue you need help with?

  • HT1711 I have all of my music loaded into iTunes and now I can only play iTunes songs.  Can anyone tell me why?

    I have all of my music loaded into iTunes but can only play the songs that I bought through iTunes.  Am I doing something wrong or can I only use the iTunes player for iTunes music?

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • I backed up my mac and now i can't install itunes

    i did a back up of my mac and my itunes disappeared,so when i try to download it it says i need a MAC OS X 10.6.8 or later...but i'm installing the same one had!

    It sounds like you may have done an iTunes sync. If so you will need to connect the phone to the computer and sync again but with different settings on the Photos page of iTunes. See the instructions below (more details in iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support)
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • HT1923 I have just updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist when I burn a list to cd. How do  make a cd case cover or list of songs?

    I just recently updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist or print a cd case cover. I want to at least print a list of songs to go in the cd case. How do I do that?

    beggsc54,  There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1.  If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.

  • I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....

    I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....  In addtion, those are the only options I have.  I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two.  Zero options.  Phone works fine though.

    I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
    When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
    Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
    In a word, no.
    If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
    There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule.

    I have just upgraded to 10.8 on my macbook pro and now I can't access itunes, videos and there is no sound - anyone help?
    It is an old macbook pro probably 6yo with the back lit keys - not under applecare anymore obviously. I downloaded the upgrade last night which took quite a while longer than it should have.
    Anyone else experienced this and can suggest something? many thanks Jo

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • My father gave me his 1st generation ipad.  He restored settings and now I can't get itunes back on it.  HELP!!!!

    My Father gave me his 1st generation ipad.  He reset all setting back to factory and now I can't load itunes.  I have plugged it into two different computers and I can't get it to work.  HELP!!

    You can't delete iTunes. The preinstalled apps cannot be deleted or installed again. It's there somewhere.
    Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
    Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
