I have Windows 8.1.  I need to COMPLETELY delete Itunes

My computer and Itunes got off on the wrong foot, and when I had Itunes on there it would not recognize my Ipod.   (My old Windows Vista system has no problem with the Ipod.)  I am pretty sure if I can get a clean re-install on there it will fix the issues.    I have tried several times to delete Itunes completely from my Windows 8.1 computer, but no matter what I get all my old playlists back. 
I have gone through the whole "delete Bonjour, delete Apple Mobile Device Support, delete the Apple files." etc.   Every single time it reloads with all my old stuff and all my old problems. 
HELP!!  I am so frustrated.  I cant decide if I hate Windows 8.1 or Itunes more.  I just want to be able to load music on my Ipod....and I cannot unless I pull out my old computer and do it from there.

Hey jsolo80,

  • When I try to install iTunes 10.5, it says, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."  I have Windows XP and I need help.

    5, it says, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."  I have Windows XP and I need help.

    After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end.  Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
    1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
    2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
    iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
    Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
    Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
    Great work everyone who contributed!  Thank you very much!

  • I have Windows XP, and when trying to burn an iTunes playlist to an Audio CD, I get a message saying "Disc burner or Software not found". I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes, but I still can't burn to disc. Any suggestions?

  • I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas.  I have a corrupt song.  I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud.  It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud.  How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?

    When I thing of the Thousands of dollars I have spent to get a 2000 song library and how Applle keeps screwing Windows users (no back-up of songs) I just think what a fool I was.

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

    Only by restoring your phone as a new device using iTunes, or Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You follow this by syncing your content back to the phone. Either that, or you live with it. The data will be overwritten as you use your phone.

  • I have windows 7 and I can't sign into ITunes.  Message says to turn off compatibility mode to use.  How and why do I need to do this?

    I have Windows 7.  I was previously using Windows 98 when I set up ITunes and developed a library of music and movies.  When I try to log in I keep getting a message stating that am using an older version of Windows and that I need to turn off "compatability mode to use ITunes.  Where and why do I need to do this?

    Anti-Virus software you ahve is blocking some files from Itunes, Switch off Anti-virus and try install again. If that fails then remove Antivirus, install ITunes and re-install Antivirus should work fine.

  • I have windows 7,  did a factory restore now new itunes with icloud will not play movies i have download before update

  • I have Windows 7 64 bit and Itouch syncs in Itunes but shows no content on IT ?

    Can anybody help?
    It was working but I had to re-load windows 7 and then restored the Itunes media and other files from a back up drive.
    I have tried compatability, delete Itunes and reinstall, tried to reset but reset froze so there is a problem.
    I reset the ITouch with my wife's XP computer and with Windows 7 got the usual "new" ipod questions and allowed Itunes to set it up as a new ITpouch, but still no result.

    Try the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • I need to completely delete my card details for purchases. How do I do it? As I can not even download free apps coz it says billing info declined or something!!

    How do I remove all billing details? I cannot download free apps without being taken to billing info, then it says its declined! I'm sooooo annoyed been trying for hours..

    For an account setup with a credit card, you need a valid payment method even for free apps.
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    However, you will still have to use the original account to update apps purchased with the original account.

  • I need to completely delete my current Apple ID.

    If anyone knows how to completely delete an Apple ID, I would be very happy if anyone could respond.
    I keep getting this:
    This Device Is Already
    Associated With an Apple ID
    You can auto-download purchases
    on this device with just one Apple
    ID every 90 days. You cannot
    associate this device with a different
    Apple ID for 42 days.
    PS: I currently do not own a working computer, so i need to do this on my iPhone.
    If I really need a computer, then i will just go buy a MacBook Air.
    Also, which kind of Mac should I buy? ($1,000 - $2,00)
    Thank you for your time,
         Sean Wells

    How would deleting your id help?
    All of your purchases will always be tied to that account.  You will have to update any apps purchasedusing that account.
    Why would you delete it?

  • I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

    I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

    One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password.  If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it.  If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem.  If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
    If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.
