I installed iTunes 10.6 trashed my computer

I installed iTunes 10.6 on my Windows 7, 64 bit laptop and immediately, no programs would run. I tried to revert to the previous version but it won't work because a dll file from 10.6 is still present and won't allow previous versions to run. I restored my PC and all other programs worked fine, but iTunes still wouldn't run because of the newer dll file, so I attempted downloading 10.6 again. Back to the same problem, no other programs will run. Doesn't Apple do any testing with different operating systems?

No help? I followed all of the directions in the knowledge base answer with deleting the folder etc. and it still does this. Any help? It is irritating.

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

Good lord.
I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
Quit iTunes first.
In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you have a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".

Hello hallefrompa,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides an answer to your question:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices.
You'll need to setup your iPod to sync to this new iTunes library:

TS1436 I just installed itunes 11 on my new computer. I hooked up my ipod and created a new playlist from my library. I wanted to burn the playlist to a cd but after I insert the CD, there is no "burn to cd"option. It's not under "file". please help!!!

I installed Itune 11 on my new Dell Inspiron, windows 7, computer.
I wanted to burn a cd from a new playlist I created in my library. The "burn to CD" option does not come up anywhere? It's not under "File" and the "tool"at the bottom of the page does not have an option for "burn to cd."
I've made many cds in the past off of OTHER playlists so I'm not sure why it's do difficult now? What am I doing wrong?
A huge issue to begin with was the songs that Icloud recognized on in my library when I first installed the Itunes 11. I since was able to "hide"all the old songs but that didn't help my "burning to cd" issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I"m spending way too much time trying to figure this out.
Thank you!!

Can you install itunes on more than one computer?

Hi all,
I want to install the software for my first-generation ipod mini on my friend's computer, but I heard somewhere that you can only install the software on one computer and obviously I also want to be able to use it with my own computer as well. Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?
Many thanks,
Samantha

Sure you can. But instead of using the (more than likely) outdated CD, see the iTunes Download Page

Unable to install itunes 9 on brand new computer

Hello I have a brand new compter and I'm trying to install itunes. Each time I get the following message: "This application could not be open. Verify the package exists and that you have access to it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package"
I have read some post with similar problems and I have installed the Windows Install Clean Up - however there is aren't Apple applications on my computer so there is nothing for the Install to Clean up.
Can you please assist me with loading either itunes 9 or an older version of itunes. I have Windows XP
Thank you

Each time I get the following message: "This application could not be open. Verify the package exists and that you have access to it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package"
Hmmm. The installer packages may be getting damaged during the download with that message.
Do you have any better luck downloading a working installer if you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa)?

I uninstalled and installed Itunes latest version in my computer about 3 times already and it still do not recognize my apple

I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and my apple devices are not recognized by my computer. Looks like it is not downloading the Apple Mobile Device Support for some strange reason. I uninstalled and installed Itunes about 3 times already, following instructions from Apple Support and situation keeps the same

Hello, Fercho1965.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes and iTunes is updated, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

i have the same problem no radio stations at all bit shabby hate technolgy now adays

I cannot install itunes to my windows 7 computer. I've deleted everthing apple related (in order recommended). I get a message each time that states "There is a problem with this windows installer package. etc.. What should I do?

I've also spent hours on the phone with both apple and windows technical support specialists. This is very clearly not a windows issue. I've given my computer a clean boot, disable my antivirus and firewall, and then attempted to download (yes, from apple's website). I've delete all of the programs (in the necessary order) and then attempted reinstalling with absolutely no luck. I'm starting to think that there's absolutely nothing I will be able to do. I've also never been able to fine "apple software updater or apple software update on my computer, which is particularly odd because I haven't found a post in this community that answers that question. No, "apple software update" cannot be found by accessing the start menu or anything in the "C drive". Apple software update is also never included in the itunes download package that I get from apple's website (the others, such as bonjour, apple application support, and apple mobile support are). No matter what I do, I always get the mesage at the end of the download, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
This may or may not be related to the "apple software update" issue.

Apparently it's an itunes issue. I just tried to update and got the same issue. Called att to activate my iphone 4s and they say they can do the swap but apple is telling them itunes is down atm. So will have to wait
