Installing iTunes (Friend's problem)

Hi there everyone. i have a problem with someone that is haveing trouble installing iTunes.
I have already tryed the StandAlone for him/her but they reply with some message's this is the person's problem.
(This was posted by him/her)
This morning my iTunes was working great, now suddenly when I start it up it says "Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.0.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes." So of coarse, I reinstalled. In the middle of installation it says:
"iDrive.eve - Applacation Error
The instruction at "Dx77511024" refrenced memory at "0x0000005c". The memory could not be "read"
Click on OK to terminate the program.
Click on CANCEL to debug program."
So I press cancel, then a second later it says "Quickime installation failed. Error Code: -3"
So I tried a couple more times, but it didn't work. When I open Quicktime it says:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
Debug Error!
Program C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QuickTimePlayer.ece
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
(Press Retry to debug the application)"
Retry does nothing at all. Please help I just got an iPod Video and didn't even plug it in or install anything, and iTunes won't work! Mail back ASAP please!
After that i gave him/her the StandAlone installer.
they reply with this.
Thanks for help, but it didn't work. I tried and in middle of installation got:
"Internal Error 2330. 23, C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\Quicktime.Resources\dadpr oj"
Then I got
"Feature transfer error
Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation
Consult Windows Installer Help (Ms.chin) or MSDN for more information."
Then this came up again
"iDrive.eve - Applacation Error
The instruction at "Dx77511024" refrenced memory at "0x0000005c". The memory could not be "read"
Click on OK to terminate the program.
Click on CANCEL to debug program."
So I press cancel, then a second later it says "Quickime installation failed. Error Code: -3"
There must be something, because it worked this morning and I did nothing to it! I really want my ipod too.
Do anyone know how to slove this person's problem?

I have gotten the exact same error. I think it's being caused by the previous installation of Itunes with QuickTIme. Read-on for my successful experience with this issue.
When I got this problem and warning, I simply did not click either "OK" or "Cancel" and my Itunes and Quicktime installation proceeded until completion anyway. At completion, I got an "Installation Successful" message. I then clicked "Finish" and then clicked "Cancel" on the warning message and all seemed fine. I then checked both Itunes and QuickTime and they ran fine and were both updated to the most recent version.
I think by pressing "OK", to the warning message, you terminate the installation in the middle and may cause an incomplete set-up of Quicktime that cannot run. I think if you let it go, somehow, it may go through this part of the installation again at a moment when that memory address is not tied-up and everything goes to completion.
In your current situtaion, I suggest you formally do an uninstall on both itunes and Quicktime to remove the damaged installation. Then, restart your computer and do a fresh download of Itunes with Quicktime. You may then not get the message at all, but if you do, then do as I suggest and press nothing, following the procedure described above, and allow this to complete setup normally.
Good Luck

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Installing itunes and quicktime problem

    Alright i am having problems installing itunes and quicktime, itunes downloads fine but when the quicktime install gets to writing system registry values it says "Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuicktimePlayerLib.QuicktimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"

    "Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes
    \QuicktimePlayerLib.QuicktimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient >access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
    Crikey. Haven't seen one of those for an eternity.
    Checking on a simpler possibility with it first. It can be produced if certain older versions of QuickTime were installed in a different administrative user accpount from the one in which you're currently attempting to install the newer version.
    Do you have other user accounts with full administrative rights on the PC? If so, can the install go through successfully from any of those?

  • Installing ITUNES on XP:   problem

    God I hate windows. That being said, trying to download ITUNES on a friends XP machine got me an error I have never encountered. I want them to get ITUNES so that they can see and interact with my .mac website;
    I download the executable OK- when I install it, it seems to be going fine, than, near the end, the window with the ITUNES icon in it states that it quit for some unknown reason, and perhaps I could try again later.
    Does anyone know what thats about? Norton internet protection was disabled. Thanks in advance. Ger

  • After multiple attempts to install Itunes 11 without problems I finally got it to work

    About a month ago when updating to Itunes 11, I started getting errors that would not allow me to Install the update and then when I did the program crashed when trying to open.  After multiple removing/installing all the apple software per instructions found in these communities I finally came upon a solution that worked.  After getting itunes to install but getting a error when I clicked on the icon to open Itunes, below is the steps I found on another web site that actually WORKED and was able to update to new/greatest version and Itunes actually opened correctly when I clicked the icon. HERE is what worked!!....
    Highlight all of the following 10 lines of text that begin with regsvr32 and then choose Copy from the Edit menu of your web browser:
    regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
    regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
    regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll
    regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll
    regsvr32 /s gpkcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /s sccbase.dll
    regsvr32 /s slbcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
    regsvr32 /s cryptdlg.dll
    regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
    Open the Notepad program by navigating to:
    Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad
    In Notepad, choose Paste from the Edit menu. Note: make sure that the text that appears in Notepad is the same as what is shown above.
    From the File menu, choose Save As.
    In the File name field type appleipod.bat and save the file to the Desktop.
    Close Notepad and locate the appleipod.bat file.
    Double-click the file and you will see a black window appear on the screen for about a minute. Wait until the window automatically disappears and proceed to the next step.
    The appleipod.bat file can be deleted at this time.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi , There are two very informative Mac threads that you may want to refer to. There really is nothing that I can add to them.
    I don't know if they are still on Page 1 but if not try Page 2.

  • Cannot install iTunes - windows installer problem!

    I have spent two days trying to fix the registry and use a clean utility. Nothing works! I see that this is a fairly common issue that has been around for several years, but none of the fixes (including the msi utility that MS has now taken down) works. Some suggested that I just uninstall the windows installer utility, but I'm can see how to do that. I've tried stopping the service, but it doesn't work.  I am looking at my new iPhone which is a lovely paperweight.

    This did not work for me, but you might want to try.  I have both an iPhone and an iPad2.  I think that I am going to have to reformat my drive.

  • Can't install iTunes correctly on Vista

    Hi, I have Vista Ultimate 64bit so I downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe
    When I try to run that, I get "Windows Installer doesn't work anymore" and it crashes. Then I read I had to install Quicktime first, and then unpack the iTunes64Setup.exe, and run the iTunes.msi. No luck, same problem. Then I thought it was Windows Installer so I downloaded Windows Install Cleanup and there "cleaned up" my Windows Installer. After that, when I run the install again, it says it cannot open a certain key ("UNKNOWN/Components/23B.." and some more random numbers and letters). Then I tried running just the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi but that says it has encountered errors.
    What the **** is going on with this ? I installed the SP1 service pack 1 day before this but I don't think that is the issue cause a friend of mine has the same computer and OS and he can install iTunes without a problem. And yes I tried downloading the iTunes setup again..

    My problem is with Vista, but slightly different to the above.
    I bought a new Vista PC yesterday and was able to download iTunes 8 to it.
    I'm also still using my old XP PC until I get the Vista one properly set up. Last night I ran all iTunes/iPhone/iPod Touch updates successfully on the XP machine.
    Today I am updating the Vista PC. Safari and Quick Time have downloaded.
    iTunes itself reaches 98.7 of 98.8 verified and then fails.
    The error message I am getting is ""The windows installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance"
    I have no idea what that means, does any Vista user know what the Windows Installer Service is and how I sort this out?
    There is a pop appearing occasionally about setting up 'winlock' - I have no idea what that is (need to google to find out) so have ignored that until I understand what it is.
    I've tried both running direct from the download and saving to my PC but still the same error message. Odd that the program installed yesterday but the updated version will not do so today.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

  • I cannot install iTunes 10.2 64 bit on Windows 7 Home Premium

    I'm able to download the iTunes 10.2 64 bit program without any issue. However, when I try to intall the program Windows installer issues error message: "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package”.
    I have tried to open 'itunes64bit.exe' as the Administrator but this still doesn't work!
    I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7.
    One member had a solution whereby they downloaded a program from Orca to increase Windows Installer’s capability and another to help install iTunes.
    The problem is that Windows Installer will not install these downloaded programs either!
    I’ve followed tech advice to change the Windows Installer setting from ‘Service Status’ stopped to ‘Service Status’ started and applied/ok’d changes. However, as soon as I try to install a non-windows program it automatically defaults to the ‘stopped’ setting and issues the error message about not being able to verify the package being installed.
    I followed the steps to unregister and reregister Windows Installer too, also to no avail.
    You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator.

    Hi Lee,
    "You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator."
    You are correct but to a point.  I thought so too, however, like you, I am "second in command"...under myself. 
    I was in the same situation and tried others' successful workarounds.  Nope.  Actually, an ongoing frustration for a few months to no avail...until I came across this link, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/ this-installation-package-could-not-be-opened/40c3cf33-b155-4dc7-b21e-ca5acce105 f3.  It shows you how to access the Administrator login, literally.  It worked for me. 
    This is from a Microsoft support page (SJ has probably been alerted, so I don't have much time, LOL).  I did not want to hit that "final" option and reinstall Win 7.  The first time was trying enough and I was about to give in.  
    " I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7."
    I was opposite on this one.  What led me to think it wasn't the above was seeing this user " ` " , also known as Accent grave.  The Users first file is labeled " ` " and has a little gold lock on it.  When I scanned Task Manager, under Processes Tab, the User Name column showed " ` " attached to certain processes.  I knew it was me, but did not realize it was the Alpha me 
    I cannot say if the system automatically did this or I or Alpha (I'm blaming Alpha).  If there is a way to change this I do not know, and if I should.  Either way, I will do some more research and pray another personality isn't isn't lurking about
    Hope this helps you.

  • Help!!!  I cannot install itunes

    I am a newbie at this. A couple of months ago, I downloaded and installed itunes, without any problem. However, I recently received an error message from Microsoft ("itunes has encountered a problem an needs to close") when I tried to open the program, so I tried reinstalling. I go through the entire download process, only to get to the end and receive a message that tells me that an error has occurred and the program must close. The error message says, "1628: failed to complete installation." I am at a loss. Can anyone offer any insight? Thank you very much.

    Follow these directions
    http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108464
    Thanks for the quick reply. I tried #1 and #3 (2 was not applicable) but neither option worked. For #1, none of the listed applications were running and for #3, my temp folder was already empty. I am still getting the same error message. Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Installing iTunes distorts CD and DVD sound

    Please help! I installed iTunes on my new laptop and now any CD played through iTunes as well as ALL my DVDs sound scratchy or choppy. I restored my system to the day before I installed iTunes and the problem is gone. How can I install iTunes to prevent this sound distortion from occuring again? THANK YOU!

    some preliminary questions before proceeding, Rachel.
    have the optical drives vanished altogether from "My Computer"? if so, can you check your Device manager for us? right-click "My Computer", select "Manage" and click "Device Manager".
    are there warning/alert messages showing up in Device Manager next to your optical drives? if so, are they citing code 41?

    Hello- after updating to the new iTunes i got a box saying that i needed a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and ihat i should uninstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support then install iTunes again.  Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi.  I'm using Windows XP.

    Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why can't I install iTunes version 10.5 or higher? I've tried everything suggested on this forum, my friend has a mac and she can't either and it seems like the main problem is the apple Mobile device.exe wont install and applesync

    Hey anybody,
    Neither myself (running on PC windows vista 32 bit) or my friend (on a mac) are able to install versions of iTunes around 10.5 or higher successfully. This leads me to believe the problem isn't necessarily with our computers and there may be something wrong elsewhere. I'm not a computer wiz but I have tried most of the advice on these forums e.g. Uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting temporary files, expanding files and trying individual downloads and more. I can install older versions of iTunes where they use to combine it with QuickTime with no problems however this is no good to me or my friend because only versions 10.5 and up come with support with iPhone 4S and that's what we need. I managed after several attempts to install iTunes 10.52 but without the apple mobile device so therefor the iTunes wouldn't connect to my phone or recognise it, apple sync notifier also has problems and fails to start.
    Please can someone help me with this, I have tried everything on the apple troubleshooting pages so please don't link me those. Or please can iTunes and apple do something in an update that corrects this problem because I know many people are having similar issues. I only bought this phone for the music and at the moment I feel cheated because I wouldn't have these problems with any other phone because I'd just be able to drag and drop.

    Hi there,
    I had the same experience. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, with Windows 7 Home Edition, 32 bit.
    I tried to install iTunes 10.5 and it started installing, then, just before the end of the process, came up with the following error message:
    "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."
    Of course, no information on what the program that couldn't be run was! At first I tried the usual stuff, like scanning for viruses etc. but nothing doing. Then I started Googling. In the end, I uninstalled all Apple stuff from my computer. A lot of it I had to do manually, going in to the program files drive and deleting stuff from there, but some of it wouldn't delete as it was saying it was open in Windows Explorer. In the end, I managed to delete the iTunes folders by selecting one of my mp3 tracks saved on the computer and right clicking 'open with'. I then browsed my pc to locate the iTunes folders still outstanding and was able to right click and delete them that way.
    Then emptied the recycle bin and did a restart before going online and downloading iTunes 10.5.
    Thankfully it worked, but its taken me a good few hours and made me really quite tetchy! I've never had this problem before, so I hope this is going to be a one off.
    One thing that doesn't seem to be working is that, despite how many times I tell it that my preference is for the iTunes Media folder to be located on my external hard drive, it keeps putting it back to the C drive! Didn't have that issue with the last version. Grrrrrr. Arrrrgggh.
    Hope you manage to get yours sorted - this is affecting a lot of people by the look of things.
