I tried to install the latest itunes on my Windows 8 computer and it is not responding. Nothing happens.

I got an HP computer with Windows 8 already loaded on it. I have tried unsuccessfully for months to put itunes on this computer. I try and then give up. All I am able to get is a non-responsive program. Just a white screen with a blue spinning circle. I have tried several suggestions - run in administrator mode, try changing the compatibility, but am lost and frustrated. I am not very technologically savvy, so please help!

Hello cnitz,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
Best of luck,
Mario

I receive an error message when trying to install the latest Itunes program on my computer using windows 7, 64. I receive the message, "service apple mobile device fails to start"

What must I do to install the latest Itunes program using windows 7, 64. The program stops when the service portion is installing and states, "Service Apple mobile division fails to start"

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

I'm trying to install the CC app on my windows vista and it seems not to work not giving me the results it should

It's giving me only cs6 versions and Acrobat isn't listed either

They require Windows 7 or later.

Trying to install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP. I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

Hi, I'm trying to re-install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP. I had to update it a while back to put songs on my brother's iPod, but my computer froze halfway through and nothing has worked right since.
I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
I looked through older discussions that told me to go to right click My Computer - Manage - Services and Applications - Services - Find Bonjour and restart it.
Well, the only option that I can click on is Start. When I do, it says "Windows could not restart the Bonjour Service service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."
Where do I go from here? Help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for over a year now with no dice. Also, I cannot do a factory reset (last effort) because it says the administor's account is disabled and I do not have the disc.

Sorry if double posting is a no-no here, but I forgot to add that I've already tried disabling Spyware Doctor.

Why do I get the following message: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." when trying to install the latest iTunes version?

Every time I tried updating iTunes, there was an error. The last time, I was not able to start it up again, so I uninstalled iTunes and tried to install it again, but it just won't work.

Trying to install the new itunes/borjour for windows 64 but neither install

I downloaded the current version of itunes for windows 64. I received a message to install Bonjour and did so.
I have 2 Bonjour items in Programs and tried to uninstall the one dated 2010 but received the message that this program is for 32bit and to go get the download/bonjourforwindows. html, which I did when itunes was downloaded and this version will not 'uninstall'.
I tried to open the Bonjour Printer Wizard and received a message "Bonjour service is not available".
Also, itunes is still version 9.1.1.12.

No one can help you if you cannot or will not provide specifics of the issue.

You might as well not even ask for help if that is all the detail you can or will provide... that statement is completely useless.
Would you take your car to a mechanic and simply say "it just doesn't work"?

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.
