Is there a problem with the Itunes Windows Installer Programme?

The reason I ask is because I had a perfectly working Itunes programme on my external hard drive, from which I then deleted all the double ups of songs I had and then could not gain auto. updates of the dsongs I wished to add to itunes.
It said to reinstall Itunes, which I tried to do and since this time the installation stops when installing the registry components and the following message appears -
There is a problem with the Windows Installer Package. A programme required for this to install could not be run. Comntact your support personall or package provider.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you in advance for any help forwarded

This message often relates to a problem with Apple software update.
Go to Add remove programs and find Apple Software update. Try repairing it.
Select Change>>repair.
That probably will not work
Then try uninstalling any instance you find of Apple Software update. That probably will not work either.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.

To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
Remove any instance you find of Apple software update with the cleanup utility.
Download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop.

Restart your computer and try installing iTunes.

  • Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

    Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

    Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
    So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

  • Fixing problems with the Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility

    Sorry for the long subject. I am having what appear to be common problems with my acrobat reader for which the only solution appears to be using the microsoft windows installer cleanup thing.
    I have acheived downloading the utility to my desktop but when I try to run it I get an error message as follows:
    Across the top of the message it says 'WINDOWS SCRIPT HOST' and in the box it says:
    Script: C:\DOCUMEN~1\Karen\LOCAL~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsi.vbs
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: The specified module could not be found
    Code: 800700E
    Source: (Null)
    Does anyone have any clues as to where I can go from here as I am stuck with a program I can neither use or uninstall, and a reascue plan that doesn't want to cooperate either. And please treat me like a 2 yr old with the technical stuff. Thanks. :-)
    Karen

    Can you try to download it again, perhaps to the C:\ drive rather than the Desktop? Delete the Desktop download, then open Windows Explorer, and run the installer from the C:\ drive.
    P.S. do you have administrative privileges on your system?

  • Problems with the latest windows installer?

    FMS *sigh* FML
    I am trying to get live streaming running on my windows 7 machine (as full admin; permissions shouldn't be an issue)
    - Windows install
    - No serial/Development server version
    - Yes Appache
    - Admin, password...
    - Default, default, default...ect, GO.
    Out of box, nothing worked - localhost just laughed at me with a blank ("could not connect") page and the FMS admin page was no better "Login attempt to the server below failed...etc".  Then I found that [root]/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf came straight from the installer like this
    # Please see httpd.conf.orig for the configuration of a default
    # (non-FMS) installation of apache.
    Listen 8134
    # If you plan to run FMS as root on linux, you _must_ specify a
    # valid user, with access to the FMS installation direction, or
    First off - Isn't that supposed to be set to 80?  Also, httpd.conf had no definition for ServerRoot - I am no apache expert (that cannot be overstated) but everytime i've used it, i've needed to define this.
    Anyway, I figured I had nothing to lose and so armed with essentially my mom's working knowledge of Apache's .conf schema, I went in and changed "Listen 80" and added a definition for ServerRoot, reset and...tada...finally, localhost would resolve to that FMS startup page.  But that doesn't mean much because I get a timeout/failure on the rtmp demo (sure the http demo works but who cares; ignf about http).  But that makes sense because the FMS admin page STILL can't connect to localhost (or localhost:1111 for that matter) so there was no server instance to connect to anyway...[Jason slumps; a broken man].
    Anyway - anyone have any insight?  Same problems += soultion?

    Hi,
    Thank you for trying FMS.
    Though you mentioned you have the admin access on your windows 7 machine, I still doubt the admin privileges are the cause of the problem for you. Let's take your issues one by one.
    After the FMS installation, the installer gives options to start the service automatically (few check boxes to select). But on Windows 7, that wont work straight away even though you are logged in as admin. What you need to do is to open a command prompt (with run as administrator). So, your command prompt is actually elevated with admin stuff. Now try to start the fms services as below :
    c:\> net start fms
    c:\> net start fmsadmin
    Once you get the successful messages, try to make connections, it should work.
    Next, the apache that comes along with FMS runs/listens on 8134 itself. Port 80 is taken over by the FMS processes (to be exact, the FMSEdge process) which will redirect all HTTP traffic to Apache on 8134 and all the RTMP traffic to itself (to be exact, to FMSCore process) and hence you can keep the 8134 intact.
    Once your services start correctly, there wont be any port conflict/problems.
    Please try and let us know if that helps.
    Thank you !

  • Is there a problem with the latest iTunes update?

    After getting the most recent iTunes update my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes. When its connected to my computer it charges but you can't see it on iTunes and none of the content can be accessed. I've never had this problem before, and it doesn't happen on my other computer with an older version of iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting suggestions for this on the Apple site but nothing seems to work. Is there a problem with the new update? And will it be getting fixed soon?

    I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
    ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

    Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country.  Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are. 
    Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

  • When downloading from a Sony minidisc video camera, the picture is downloading but without sound.  Previously, it had downloaded successfully both sound and picture.  I have subsequently upgraded to Lion X (10.7.4).  Is there some problem with the driver?

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • Is there a problem with the Firefox synch server?

    I have three installations of Firefox 4.0.1 on two machines (two fixed, one PortableApps). They are all set up to synchronise.
    Since yesterday, all are showing an error at the bottom of the window saying "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Server incorrectly configured. Please try again."
    I've made no configuration changes to the synch in the last few days, nor have I updated the Firefox version.
    Is there a problem with the synch server?

    What are you doing within the txt document?  Is it general text and string based items, or have you something more elaborate going on?
    An older discussion here elaborates a bit more on the dotx vs docx side of things.

  • Cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents"

    Hi Everyone,
    I cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents" unspecified error; Location: 2.  Please help as I need this doc for work meeting this morning.  Nothing special about this doc but links were copied into it???  However I do that all the time.  I have never had this happen before.  I am on a 2010 machine.  I just ran a disk permissions repaired and emptied the trash but still no dice.  I had several other word docs up as well when I got up this morning but they are all fine.  I do not have Time Capsule turned on (which I need to do but that will be another thread/question).
    Thank you,
    sb

    Ok, I found a way to open this but not sure what happened to begin with and the formatting setup is different now, almost like text editor?  Not sure what happened here but hope it doesn't happen again?

    The best cover is the one that suites your needs. Try Google. There are dozens on the market.
    As for the Apple Smart Cover, it does work with the new iPad. There are a few reported issues with it, but that doesn't come close to representing the totality of folks with it.

  • Having just bought an iMac and set every thing up I have found that my IPad seems to run very slow. I have also just updated the IPad to OS 5.1 .Are these two things connected or is there a problem with the IPad

    Having just bought an iMac and set every thing up I have found that my IPad seems to run very slow. I have also just updated the IPad to OS 5.1 .Are these two things connected or is there a problem with the IPad

    Using the Mac with your iPad has nothing to do with the fact that the iPad is running slow. There could be any number of reasons why the iPad is now running slow.
    Have you tried a reset on the iPad?
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
