Install iTunes 10.7 over iTunes 11?
greetings,
my question is:
how does one install iTunes 10.7 over iTunes 11 if one has iTunes 10.7.dmg?
here's where i am now:
this mac has OSX 10.7.5. i tried iTunes 11 a month ago on an older mac that i'm getting rid of. it has a bad bug and doesn't work right with my 120Gig iPod. so i can't use it. haven't had time to report the bug yet, but it's on my list to do...
somehow iTunes 11 showed up on my work MBPro yesterday without running software updater. i always decline installing iTunes 11. i used iTunes 10.7 tues night. and last night (wed) when i plugged in my iPod, i got the new software license screen "accept/decline" etc. i checked get info on iTunes in /Applications, and sure enough, it shows version 11.0.1 and a modificaiton date of wed morning (?). i was in meetings most of the day and software NEVER ran... but i digress...
regardless of how this happened, i'm trying to fix this and reinstall the previous version...
i found and downloaded iTunes 10.7 installer on apple's website. but when i run the installer, i get a message "iTunes can't be installed on this computer because a newer version is already installed"... never seen this before...
so i tried deleted iTunes 11.0.1, and get a message "iTunes can't be modifed or deleted because it is required by OSX"! ??
i've never seen this before either.
so i assumed i need to boot from an external drive so that i can delete iTunes... we have no "boot" dvd anymore. but i have an exteral drive with the complete OS and various utilites so that i can boot from an external disc in case i can't boot from the internal drive or need to run a utility like diskwarrior... but my company has forced a third party disc encryption software. so this prevents me from mounting the internal drive when i've booted from my external drive. there goes all of my repair and recovery tools, but i digress...
this is a new MBPro. it took me forever to configure and get software installed because of the shenanigans of the companies IT department and the lack of physical media from Apple and other software vendors. i just finished the same day i had to leave on a trip.
so i'm trying to figure out how to install iTunes 10.7 if iTunes 11 is already installed.
i'd appreciate any suggestions.
ok, found a way to delete iTunes from terminal
sudo -rf /Applications/iTunes
then i can run the installer for iTunes 10.7...

When installing itunes of my PC with Windows Vista, the itunes program "took over" all of my desktop icons. How can I install it so it doesn't do that? Thanks!
You can force Vista to rebuild the desktop icons by changing your monitor's color depth momentarily. In the display properties, change to 16-bit color. Then change back to 32-bit.

Does installing an app over Itunes, then syncing it to my ipod use less storage space?
Does installing an app over Itunes, then syncing it to my ipod use less storage space, instead of installing it on the device itself.
If yes, how does this work, please explain lol.Does anyone know the answer?

My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

The exact error message is

Run the the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes.This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes.
That usually indicates that your Apple Mobile Device Support has not installed. That's also what is being shown by the diagnostics (the driver is there but the application isn't).
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
This iphone can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes
I keep getting the above error everytime I plug in my iphone.
I am not daft, I do have the 64bit version of iTunes installed already. When I installed itunes 10.5 and more recently 10.5.1 I got an error message that rolls back a section of the installation (The updater I think) before finishing off installing iTunes.
After the installation iTunes will work normally apart from when I try to connect a device. At which point I get the title error message and I can not sync my phone.
It's probably down to Itunes not installing properly however no matter what I try I can not sort the problem out. I've tried uninstalling all apple programmes followed by a registry clean, then reinstall. I've tried the same again but in a specific order. I've tried repairing iTunes, repairing the updater etc etc. Nothing seems to work. I'm out of ideas.
Has anybody had this problem? Please can somebody tell me how to fix it!
Getting an iPad this Christmas and if I can't sync that up to my PC I may just have to go over to ANDROID!!!Is there a way to install this on its own?

After installing the latest version of iTunes, I can no longer export music files converted by EZ Vinyl Conversion software to iTunes, which is the only export option available in the software. I have been converting my vinyl records, tapes and cd's to MP3 files in iTunes for about a year now, and have well over 1000 man-hours invested in this effort. I tried restoring the last version of iTunes, but it will no longer read my library, as, apparently, the new version modified the library file(s) in some way. I want to reenable this export-import function to finish my archival. What is necessary ???
Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

I'm installing the newest version of Itunes over the last version on my laptop. win 7 pro os. it starts the install then a error msg comes up stating that Bonjour service failed to start. verify that i have sufficient priveleges to start system services. I can't retry, ignore only cancel which un-installs all that it has installed and reverts me to the last version which i had. any idea?
it starts the install then a error msg comes up stating that Bonjour service failed to start. verify that i have sufficient priveleges to start system services.
Sometimes we can get past that one by disabling the Bonjour Service prior to the install.
In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I just tried to install the iTunes update 11.4.1 and keep getting error messages. I have never had this issue before over many years of using iTunes and getting updates to the software.

I can not upgrade from 10.2 to 10.6 because of missing "itunes.msi" file. I can not delete ITunes and start over either.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
i am russian remuved itunes at all i wont instal folder C:/Program files/itunes what i must do
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
Just installed the latest upgrade for iTunes. Cannot open iTunes store?
Just installed the latest upgrade for iTunes. Cannot open iTunes store?
Hey there Ray Neilson,
It sounds like you are able to open iTunes but cannot access the store. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues in Windows
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store for more than a day (and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar issues) a software or Internet service provider (ISP) configuration issue may be blocking your access to the iTunes Store. Find out which ports and servers need to be allowed for iTunes Store access.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
If iTunes Store appears empty and only displays the message iTunes Store, follow these steps.
Try the steps to troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you may need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. Follow these steps for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
Try disabling any proxies built-in to Windows. You should avoid proxies because they can cause issues.
If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.
Note: The hosts file may be blocking the iTunes Store.Microsoft's article How do I reset the hosts file back to the default? has instructions and a FixIt to have Windows try to reset the hosts defaults for you.Note: Some workplaces may put internal resources in the hosts file and may block iTunes Store. The FixIt doesn't work for Windows 8.To create a copy of your hosts file and replace it with an empty hosts file, follow the instructions below:
You can find the hosts file at: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC.
Select the hosts file. There should now be a duplicate of the hosts file named "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts-copy" (Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8).
Drag the original hosts file to your desktop.
Right-click the duplicate file and choose Open. You may be prompted to choose the program you want to use to open this file. Double-click Notepad.
When Notepad opens, choose Edit > Select All.
Choose Edit > Delete.
Choose File > Save.
Close Notepad.
Right-click the duplicate file, and choose Rename.
Type "hosts" (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
Restart your computer and try connecting to the iTunes Store.
If you still can't connect to the iTunes Store, your security software or firewall may be blocking the ability of iTunes to communicate with the Internet. Learn how to resolve security software issues.
If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting in this article:

Error 1607 - Still can't install or upgrade to new iTunes
I was having various problems trying to remove the old version of my iTunes, however I over came those. I thought for sure once I got rid of the older version of my iTunes I'd be able to install the newer version. However that doesn't seem the case. I've updated my computer numerous times, turned off my anti-virus, and even tried downloading Quicktime seperately, which failed as well.
When I try to install the new version of iTunes on my computer, from CD or from the internet, I received the following error:
Error 1607: Unable to install InstallShiel Scripting Runtime.
I've tried the touble shooting on the following link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
With no luck.
Can anyone help? All I want is to install iTunes to put music on my new iPod.
Thanks for any help!!Ok this is what happenes.
I tried to "Reinstall the InstallScript engine"
However when I do so and type in the file path on my Windows Explorer I get the following Error:
Cannot find 'file:///C:/Program%20Files/InstallShield/Developer/Redist/Language20%Indpenede nt/i386'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.
"Running Setup from a virtual drive"
This seemed to work, I didn't receive any Error msg when I followed this step.
"Register Idriver and Msiexec" When I tried this step, again I received a Error msg:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Developer\7\Intel 32 refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the dick is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information may have been moved to another location.
When I try the 2. in this step I receive a box saying: An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers.
"Change Permissions"
On this step I can get to the "Installer Folder" However when I right click there is not a security tab for me to click on???
"Stop other instances of Windows Installer"
Checked in the Processes and there wasn't another Msiexec.exe running.
Sorry for all the trouble, I'm so close to installing this, It's probably something really minor or stupid mistake on my part. Any ideas? Oh and FYI, I had a few Trojans on my computer, which I got rid of already....but do you think this could be a reason why iTunes won't install??
Any feedback helps, thanks once again!! -
