IT WONT ALLOW ME TO INSTALL, UPDATE, OR REMOVE ITUNES 9.0.1.8

It keeps telling me to find an alternate path, or it will say to verify the resource. it opens sometimes, an sometimes it says that its not installed, it seems as if my itunes is neither installed or uninstalled, ha jus my luck it must be stuck in some computer limbo.

This kind of thing is often fixed by using the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility.
Here is a full method for cleanup, removal, and reinstall of iTunes:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
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. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes

My windows surface tablet wont allow me to install flash player. how can i install it?

my windows surface tablet wont allow me to install flash player.

You don't need to install it; Flash Player is already preinstalled on all Windows 8 editions.
For troubleshooting see http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html
Use Windows Update to update to the latest Flash Player version.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

The seller was remiss in not properly preparing the Mac for sale. That task has now fallen to you. You will encounter continual problems until you perform the following. Ignore references to DVD since the MacBook Air has none.
If you are unable to do that contact the seller and request instructions, or arrange for its return and a refund of your costs.
Refer to What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
"Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
Next: Remove all your personal information by completely erasing the Mac's internal storage.
If your Mac shipped with a grey System Install DVD, start your Mac with that disc inserted in the optical drive while holding the c key to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which should be erased before selling it.
If your Mac did not ship with discs, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
using three fingers press and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), option, and R.
With a fourth finger press the power button to turn on the Mac.
Keep the other three fingers where they are until you see the "spinning globe" icon.
This method forces the Mac to download its originally installed OS from Apple's servers, which will not require an Apple ID to install.
Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
Remove any partitions you may have created.
Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take.
The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu.
An Apple ID will not be required. If a prompt for an Apple ID appears, return to Step 5.
Do not create any user accounts.
When it finishes, shut down the computer.
If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD if one was included, and install the bundled apps. Apps bundled with newer Macs that shipped without discs cannot be transferred. Its new owner must purchase them from the Mac App Store using his or her own Apple ID.
If the Mac is being sold to someone outside the family consider the following additional information:
System Install DVDs that came with your Mac should remain with it forever, and must be included with the sale.
Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it. AppleCare stays with the equipment and is transferable.
Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
Once no longer in your possession, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

(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?

Windows 7 wont allow me to install itunes

why wont windows allow me to install itunes successfully?

Bought iphone 4 a week ago and STILL trying to find out why too...

Does allowing Adobe to install updates automatically mean it will also install unwanted software?

I have always clicked "Notify me to install updates" because I knew every time there is some kind of optional offer for Mcafee or Google that i don't want and need to uncheck. I get annoyed with having to manually install all the time but I'm not going to let them do it automatically if every time I will have new unwanted crap on my computer.
Does allowing automatic updates also include these optional offers or does it only install the actual update?

Bump!
Anyone? I really want automatic updates but DO NOT want it to instal those optional offers like McCafee.

FF wont open from, after install/update it opens, but when closed it wont reopen.

FireFox was working, shutdown system for the night. Next morning it would not open. The browser frame opens up and the tab at the top has the little 'busy' circle looking like it is trying to do something, but it never opens. The frame will have several images of other widows dragged across it. Pulldown from the tool bar open and act like they are operational. I did an install (Update) and at the end of the installation it asks if you want to open FireFox. That one works. If I close out of the browser it will not reopen.

Windows installed updates and now itunes has gone!

last night windows installed updates as it shut down and now when ive loaded up in the morning itunes has gone. ive tried repairing through add/remove programs, downloading a new version and removing the old version but each time it comes up with this message:
the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unvailable. click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to the folder containing installation package 'itunes.msi'.
does anyone know where to find this or an alternative way of sorting it out?
cheers.

Hi
First sorry to hear that.
Not all is lost. This is what you do.
1) Goto itunes.com. Install iTunes. Open it. Sign in to itunes so it displays your email address in itunes.
After goto your itunes store in itunes. There is a purchased tab. Click on in. It should list everything you purchased, books, songs, apps. Press the cloud with the down arrow. That will start the download process to your computer. I know the movie part you must download one at a time or it will crash. I hope that helps.

Try deleting all your music by going into settings>general>usage>music. Then re-download them from iTunes by going in to iTunes on your iPhone>more>purchased>music.

Can't update or remove iTunes

I've been trying to update iTunes for six months on my XP 32bit machine. I always get the same errors. The installer tells me "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available. I run diagnostic and it tells me that I am a administrator and Apple has access through the firewall. Then it tells me that it can't find itunes.msi, I point the installer to it. Then it tells me the the itunes,msi I have is not a valid installation package. I have downloaded it many times, put it in different locations, but I can never get it to work. At least I can still use the older version.
I decided to remove iTunes, but I get the same answer as when I try to upgrade.
Help!

The installer tells me "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available. I run diagnostic and it tells me that I am a administrator and Apple has access through the firewall. Then it tells me that it can't find itunes.msi, I point the installer to it. Then it tells me the the itunes,msi I have is not a valid installation package.
With that one, let's try the following procedure.
First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(7) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

Why wont my Droid x install updates or apps over 3g or wifi?

I have researched to restart it, which it does on its own a couple times daily =(, I have taken out the battery, I have cleared the cache, I have assured they are on the phone and not the SD card...I have done everything so far but it will not install any updates or any new apps...I have the room available too. Please help!!! I love my droid but this is frustrating.

When did the problem start? Check to make sure you have data delivery set for "over mobile network" >

In order to download the new iTunes version, I had to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Even after I upgrated, iTunes wont allow me to install it. What gives?

When I try to download the new iTunes for my iPhone 5, a pop up message comes saying i need 10.6.8 or higher. But even after I bought and installed snow leopard, it still comes up with the same message.

Did you download & install the new iTunes after you installed Snow Leopard?

10.7.2 is not allowing me to install updates

This has been plaguing me over the past few days...
I wish to install IOS7 on my iphone, but to do so i need to update to itunes version 11.1! After i download the update it begins the install progress, but within a few seconds it comes up with the error message "The update 'Itunes' can not be installed. You don't have permission.".
After trying and failing a few times i decided to see if all installs would fail in a similar way, which they do. I get the exact same error message with each update, minus the updates name being that of the update i'm trying to install.
I've done the quick fixes of disk utility, didn't help. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
Thanks in advance for those who answer!
