I get this error when I try to install iTunes 10.7: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indocate a problem with this package. The error code is 2203."

I am running Windows 7 64bit. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and ran the installer. This message pops up, I click OK and the installation continues. Then, when I try to launch iTunes I get this: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)". I have also received this error message even when the installation hasn't had any problems. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted, repaired my .net framework, uninstalled all components following the steps in Article: HT1923 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 all to no avail. It still won't run. It was working perfectly before I updated it to 10.7. After that it all went to crap. I even tried installing the previous version and still get this error message. Any suggestions?

Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.
Just in case, let's try the fixit from the following document:
Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled

Hi hongkongpom,
Just wanted to say that after posting the problem, I had a chat with an iTunes' Tech Support, her name is Rebekah. My problem was resolved after that. Will list the chat history below in hopes that it may help you as well.
Good luck!

Chat Transcript

Duration: 81 minutes 28 seconds
Rebekah:
Welcome to AppleCare chat support. Please give me a moment to look over your information.
Rebekah:
Hi, Samia! My name is Rebekah. If we get disconnected, please chat us back. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/contactEnter the case number from the initial email we sent you. This gives the next advisor you chat with immediate access to your case history.
Rebekah:
Could you please confirm your serial number? I want to be sure we provide the best service possible for you, Samia!
SAMIA:
Sure, it's 8L8395UY2C5
SAMIA:
My problem is with iTunes.
Rebekah:
Thanks for that confirmation. Just a heads up, this is iOS Tech Support. We do support iPod touches, iPads, and iPhones, but not the iPod classic. But no worries! I can get you in touch with a phone Advisor who can get you in touch with the department that specializes in iPod classics and would be able to better assist you. Would that be OK?
SAMIA:
I wasn't able to install the new version of iTunes (version 11.1.1). The installation keeps failing. The they suggested the I install it manually and that failed too. I will attach the message I received.
SAMIA:
I don't have a problem with iPod.
SAMIA:
Just iTunes
Rebekah:
No problem! We can certainly troubleshoot iTunes as much as possible. It may come to the point that you may have to transferred, but we can do as much as possible during this chat!
Rebekah:
Thanks for the screenshot. It is a bit small so I am unable to fully see the message that you are receiving. What is the error message you are receiving?
SAMIA:
This is the message I received in case you weren't able to open the attachment: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324."
Rebekah:
Thanks for that info!
SAMIA:
Pleasure!
Rebekah:
What version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) do you have?
SAMIA:
Windows 7
SAMIA:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Rebekah:
Thanks for that confirmation. I do apologize for the delay, Samia. I am researching this error code now. You mentioned trying to install iTunes manually. To be sure I am on the same page, what steps did you take to do that?
SAMIA:
Well when the indsatalltion failed I was given instructions to select Download Only from Tools and then install manually. When I did it, I window popped up with the following items: - AppleApplicationSupport
SAMIA:
- AppleMobileDeviceSupport64
SAMIA:
- Bonjour64
SAMIA:
iTunes64
SAMIA:
SetupAdmin
SAMIA:
I selected Repair in all of them instead of Remove and all worked but iTunes64
SAMIA:
That's when I received the message that I sent you earlier.
SAMIA:
By the way, this is the fir st time something like this occured. I never had problems with installation before.
Rebekah:
I completely understand what you're saying. Since that Repair did not resolve the issue, our best option is to uninstall iTunes and its components and redownload it. To do this, we will follow the steps in this article: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Rebekah:
First, we will want to quit iTunes and/or Apple Software Update if those are open at this time.
SAMIA:
Rebekah, the instructions you gave says, "For Windows XP, follow these steps to remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows XP."
SAMIA:
I closed all applications
SAMIA:
Also, my iTunes doesn't open anymore after the new failed installation.
Rebekah:
The section that says "For Windows XP…" is in case we opened up the wrong article, as we have the one for Windows Vista, 7, or 8. There is a link to click ("these steps") in those directions that would take us to the article for uninstalling on a Windows XP.
Rebekah:
So no worries! We have the right article!
Rebekah:
On the computer, we will want to click on Start > Control Panel. In Control Panel, we will click the "Uninstall a program" link.
SAMIA:
I thought so after doing a little exploration.
SAMIA:
done
Rebekah:
Alright, we'll want to select iTunes from the list of currently installed programs. Then we will click Uninstall. When asked if you would like to remove iTunes, let's click Yes.
Rebekah:
After the uninstallation is complete, we don't want to restart your computer if you're prompted.
SAMIA:
Done
Rebekah:
Then if you see other iTunes entries on the list, we'll want to remove them the same way.
Rebekah:
Then we will remove all instances of Apple Software Update the same way you removed iTunes.
SAMIA:
Okay, but do I have to remoce iCloud as well?
SAMIA:
Rebekah, I received the same error message again when uninstalling
Rebekah:
We actually do not need to remove iCloud. After the Apple Software Update, we will want to remove all instances of Apple Mobile Device Support
Rebekah:
How strange! Are you able to click past that and allow the process to continue or has it stopped it completely?
SAMIA:
I am unable to uninstall iTunes either
SAMIA:
Stopped completely
SAMIA:
I treied clicking Repair
Rebekah:
Alright, after trying the Repair option, let's see if it will allow us to continue uninstalling or not.
SAMIA:
I tried that but unfortunately, it isn't working. I still get that same message with error code 2324.
Rebekah:
This error code is not something that I am finding in my sources, Samia. So there is a chance that it is being caused with the Windows computer itself. However, I did find a link that may be able to help with uninstalling iTunes from Windows' support site: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
SAMIA:
Rebekah, you're a genius! It worked! iTunes is no longer there. What next?
Rebekah:
Awesome! I'm glad that worked!
Rebekah:
To be sure I am on the same page, what was the last component we uninstalled?
SAMIA:
iTunes
SAMIA:
Shall I remove the Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update
Rebekah:
That is correct! However, we do want to uninstall it in the order I mentioned above. So Apple Software Update first, Apple Mobile Device Support next, and then Apple Mobile Device Support.
SAMIA:
Got it, but is the second one to uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support OR Apple pplication Support?
Rebekah:
The second one is Apple Mobile Device Support.
Rebekah:
The Application Support will be the last component we uninstall.
SAMIA:
Thanks! I'm on it.
SAMIA:
Done! ll 3 are gone, well 4 with iTunes. Now what?
Rebekah:
Awesome! Also, I just noticed that I accidentally typed Apple Mobile Device Support twice, I do apologize for any confusion! Now we will remove all instances of Bonjour and then remove all instances of Apple Application Support.
SAMIA:
There was only 1 instance with Bonjour. I don't know what the instances are for Apple Application Support
Rebekah:
Yes, Bonjour is often only listed once. Is the Apple Application Support listed at all?
SAMIA:
No
SAMIA:
Since I removed it
Rebekah:
Oh, perfect! If it was removed, we should be set!
Rebekah:
We have removed iTunes and its components now! From here, our next step is to restart the computer. Then once you reboot, you can redownload iTunes from apple.com/itunes
Rebekah:
That should allow you to download iTunes!
SAMIA:
Shall I downloaad the latest vesion?
Rebekah:
You will want to first restart the computer as shown in the article. That will ensure that this process goes smoothly and that everything was removed correctly! Then you can try downloading iTunes again.
SAMIA:
Okay, thanks Rebekah!
Rebekah:
You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help! And of course if you have any issue after the reboot and download, you can always chat us back, as chat is open 24 hours! You will just need to give your case number and the next Advisor would have all my notes!
SAMIA:
Thanks again for all your help, for I couldn't have managed with out it. Have a nice day!
Rebekah:
You're very welcome! I know how important iTunes is and I'm glad we could get you on a path to resolution!
Rebekah:
I hope you have a lovely day!
Rebekah:
It's been a pleasure speaking with you! Thanks for chatting with us Samia. If you don't have any more questions, select End Chat from the upper left corner of the chat window.
SAMIA:
Will do, thanks.

Are you able to uninstall iTunes and QuickTime?
You might have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, which would allow you to remove some applications that you can't from Control Panel.
Also, take a look at this Apple document -> Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.

I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro.... The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)

I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro....

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

HT4913 How do I resolve this issue when I try to download iTunes. I receive this error message " iTunes64Setup.exe is corrupt or invalid"

How do I resolve this issue when I try to download iTunes on my laptop? It fails because of this error message " iTunes64Setup.exe is corrupt or invalid"

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

I get a runtime error when I try to open itunes, any help?

I get a runtime error when I try to open itunes, any help?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

TS1702 "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

After installing the maverick i get this message when i try to open iTunes: If you want to run i 64bits modus you must remove the mark:Open in 32bits modus.But i have removed the 32bits and i still can't get it to work!Have maces

I upgraded my 2007 iMac (20") to Maverick. Should never have done this! Lost mail, lost my mail archive, lost numerous programs/applications, lost all my installed hardware, spend 4 days on getting it running again with the (supreme) help of Apple Care. However it should not have happened at all!
iMac Computers with less than 4Gb of internal memory (as explained by Apple Care), or less than (estimated) 150Gb of free disc-space should not upgrade! Simple as that and the App Store should warn you about that and not simply let you pick up your free copy of Maverick!

Do a back up then try reinstalling.
You should always back up before do an update, upgrade, anything with the system in case something goes wrong. That way you still have a current copy of your data.
Try starting in safe mode, then running the update. This will disable most 3rd party sofwarelike anti virus and other things prople put on their machines that can cause problems.
Safe mode:
Power off, power on holding the shift key, continue to hold until you see the progress BAR then re;ase and allow to finish booting. Note this will take longer than a regular boot. Login and try running software update or use the link here to download. Use an ethernet connection if possible as it is much less prone to corruption than wireless.

After download and install logout and restart normally.

I get this message when I try to Play iTunes album:

I get this message when I try to Play iTunes album: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital Booklet - Oh, What a Life.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
Do I need to set a different app to open the file? if so which one?
Thanks for reading.

Hi ihrtthecowboys,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, see the following article:

Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:
