Install error itunes 10.3

Tried to update to iTunes 10.3 and during install I receive an error stating: "install error".  It then continues to finishing installing, but when the installation is done I can not open iTunes, the icon is a default windows icon.

Let's try the fixit from the following Microsoft document with that one:

  • HT1349 Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

    Initially iTunes would not run although it had been running quite well up until now. Suddenly received this error on PC start-up "The program can't start because MSVC80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Research on Net pointed me to iTunes as the issue. Tried to start iTunes and received that message again. Tried installing latest version of 64-bit iTunes and received the subject message part way through the install: Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    iTunes has been running great on this PC for years. What's up?

  • I am trying to sync my iphone 4. Get error :"itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined"

    I wanted to sync my iphone 4 (cdma).  I have synced it before successfully.  I am getting an error "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone cannot be determined" and the apps and items follwoing apps in syncing (photos for example) will not sync. Items prior to apps synced (calendar/contacts).  I restarted both my iphone (currently on ios 4.2.8) and my computer, itunes was on 10.6.1, same problem.  I installed itunes 10.6.3, same problem.  I had been waiting to update ios to 5.1.1 and would like to do that now, but wanted to sync first.  Anyone have any ideas?  I am stumped!  Thank you.

    I am trying to update my iTunes to 10.5.1 so that I can upgrade my 3GS phone but am getting the following error message when trying to install the itunes: Install step failed: Run pre upgrade script for apple mobile device support. Contact software manufacturer for assistance. I am on a MacBook pro running 10.5.8 OS. Has anyone seen this before and how can I get it resolved.
    Thanks for your help in advance....

    Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
    Thanks!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe

    itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe
    no problems with ITunes on Dell Inspiron Windows 7 until yesterday.  ITunes version 11.0.2.  iphone won't connect stating required software is not installed.  uninstall and install 64 bit version of iTunes.  I have 64 bit version already.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times already.  When re-installing ITunes get error message c:\programdata\34be82c4-e596-4e99-a191-52c6199ebf6\x64\difxinst64.exe.  file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. please install or create an association in the Default Programs control panel.   iTunes install continues after the difxinst64.exe error message but then get the iphone cannot be used error message again.  therefore, I can't sync my iphone with iTunes until I figure this out.
    can't win for losing.  had iTunes on my windows 7 laptop for 4 years.  first time I've ever encountered this.

    I am a PC Tech and had a customer with this issue. Ran across this post in my search and ended up finding the solution on my own. The problem isn't with the iTunes software but the installer for the GEARAspi drivers. Really the issues is with the file type asssociations in the windows registry. On the system I was working on the HKCR key for .exe should point to the exefile key but pointed to nothing. To fix it create a new txt document and paste the following in (only paste what is in between the [code][/code] tags):
    [code]
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
    @="exefile"
    "Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
    @="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
    [/code]
    Now change the extension from .txt to .reg. Then right click and select merge. iTunes should now install properly.

  • Cant install newest iTunes in Windows Vista - An error occured

    I started to installing new iTunes and right before the end poped up this window -
    An error occured during the installation of assembly ´policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.507...",type="win32-policy",publicK eyToken="1fc8b...",processorArchitecture="x86".
    Do anyone know what to do? Im desperate.
    Thank you for answering

    I think it would be a good idea to scan for malware as malware often interferes with Windows Update.
    Download Malware bytes and run a full scan, there is a free version:
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/
    In services, check the Window Update service. It should show as "started" and start up type automatic.
    The other thing is to run the system file checker:

    This will attempt to fix problems and if it will not run, that is another clue to the problem.

    iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
    1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
    2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
    Good luck, hope this helps.

    On Oracle Metalink site, there are many documents which says that Oracle 32 bit software works on 32 bits OS and 64 bits software works on 64 bits OS. Official support is only in those combination....
    So there is no good way to help you in your case-XE is 32 bit application with hard codded compiled libraries which most of them would not work on 64 bit OS.

  • How do I fix Registry Errors that occured during Install of iTunes latest version?

    Hardware/Software info:
    Acer Aspire lapton 5535-5050
    Vista Home premium OS
    2 GB Ram
    250 GB Sata HDrive
    AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core QL-64 bit processor
    I recently installed the latest version of iTunes vers. 11.x per the iTunes update process. Afterwards
    itune 11 worked ok aside from the totally different startup or Store page looking so different.  Later
    I tried to burn a disc from my current iTunes Library and found out my CdRom drive had been disabled
    due to registry errors during the iTunes update process.  The end result was to get my CdRom drive
    back in operation, I had to due a System Restore (using Vista home premium) back to a date before
    the iTunes update.
    It was a successful Restore and my CdRom drive is now working again but iTunes will no longer run
    due to missing files not found during attempts to start iTunes.  It tells me to reinstall iTunes again.
    1. Do I Uninstall the partial copy of iTunes listed on my Program list? (appears to iTunes 10.07.21)
       first or just do an install of iTunes 11.x from the Apple iTunes web site?
    2. What is the risk of the new iTunes causing Windows registry errors and disabling my CdRom again?
    3. What is the risk of other registry errors from the new version of iTunes?
    Brad

    I had the same problem after installing version 11, my CD/DVD drive was disabled/uninstalled completely.
    I restored version 10.7 to get my iTunes functionality back using a backup i created before the upgrade.
    Unfortunately, not being a PC wiz, I had to contact DELL support to fix the problem as a simple reinstall of the drivers failed to fix the problem. I am fortunate to still have hardware support as the PC is only 7 months old. DELL thankfully were fully aware of the problem and deleted the "Upper & Lower Filters" from my registry ("how to" available from a Google search for anyone confident enough to do this alone).
    I still get the request to reinstall iTunes software on starting itunes, but for now I just click OK and move on and iTunes works fine (using version 10.7). I will probably reinstall 10.7 after doing another backup, but for now I don't need to and can do without the added grief.
    DELL said this was a common problem that is easily fixed, but as yet are unaware of any further issues.
    I have an Dell Inspiron 620, running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS with 6GB Ram
    Hope this helps, if nothing more than assuring you that you are not alone.
