ITunes 10.5.1 won't install. Keeps "rolling back" when nearly complete...

I've emptied the temp folder, deleted the old version of iTunes, downloaded the installer to install from my desktop. It goes all the way through the installation process, then at the last minute "rolls back" and gives me an error message saying to try it again. I've tried several times. What's blocking the installation? Thanks for your suggestions.

unplug phone from computer.
Update computer ( apple menu)
DO NOT UPDATE ITUNES
After each update go back to apple menu and check for updates.
Only when you have completely updated computer ( only itunes comes up for updating) do you update itunes.
Follow all instructions.
Then restart computer.
Plug in phone.
Message appears... do you want to update..... follow instructions.
It actually took me the better part of sunday afternoon, but worth it.

  • Apple Mobile Device Support won't install, keeps rolling back..

    I'm using Windows 7 64bit and i have everything updated. Since I've upgraded my iTunes to version 10.1, I can't sync my iPod Touch with it anymore.
    Each time I plug my iPod in,
    - the iPod could be detected by windows but not iTunes, and I keep getting the same error message " "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64bit version of iTunes""
    - my iPod shows up as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" in devices and printers
    After searching through the internet, I've tried many fixes but none of them worked. I've tried,
    - downloading the latest iTunes and uninstalling it and reinstalling it again and again
    - uninstalling step by step and completely removed everything as guided by this website (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923)
    - extracting the AMDS MSI file from the iTunes64setup and run it separately
    - copying the registry files and the whole Apple Mobile Device Support folder from a Vista machine as recommended in some websites
    - creating a new user account with admin rights and reinstalling iTunes again after completely removing everything
    I've read a post (http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2531860) in which the user encounters a similar problem as well, and apparently the user solved this problem by replacing the files in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netaapl64.infamd64_neutral26aa9fb28983e9b5
    C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbaapl64.infamd64_neutral36363f69e6e22c1b
    with files he had extracted from the CAB files within the AMDS MSI installer from the iTunes64Setup download.
    But the problem is, whenever I try to extract the netaap164 and usbaap164 files from the AMDS MSI installer, using WinRAR, it says that the archive is corrupted and thus I won't be able to extract these files out.
    Can anyone give me any suggestions or teach me what to do? I'm really stucked and lost now. Thanks in advance. =)

    After a couple days searching the internet for a solution I pieced togetherwhat my problem was from several forums and fixed it; maybe my solution/problemis similar to all of yours. (NOTE: I’m running Windows XP Professional, 32-bit,with Service Pack 3 – so you’ll have to translate my issue into your Windows 7format because I have no idea how to operate things is that version of Windows.)
    I traced the error to the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver under"Universal Serial Bus Controllers" as others have too (everything inthe iTunes installation would install perfectly well except for Apple MobileDevice Support). However, my problem wasn't with the driver itself -- I had amissing .dll file on my computer for the Hardware Update Wizard (whenever Iwould 'right click’ any USB driver and select "Update", HardwareUpdate Wizard would not open; nothing would happen).
    So, I went searching for this problem next, and I found this website: http://kf.livejournal.com/208963.html?view=2699587#t2699587
    The page suggests that the problem is a missing .dll file called “newdev.dll”that should be located in “C:\WINDOWS\system32\” (again, I don’t know theequivalent folder for Windows 7, so someone else will need to find out where “newdev.dll”belongs) – I did a search of the .dll file on my computer and found it missing.However, I found another copy of it on my computer using “Seach Everything” (foundhere: http://download.cnet.com/Everything/3000-2379_4-10890746.html)– but, you can also use the Windows Search tool. There were copies located in “C:\Windows\system32\dllcache”and “C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386”. (I would suggest searching for itrather than locating it manually in Explorer in case its in a hidden folder.)
    I copied one of the preexisting files of “newdev.dll” and pasted it into “C:\WINDOWS\system32\”.Then I tried re-installing Apple Mobile Device Support and it worked (norolling back installation). When I plugged my iPhone back into my USB “AppleMobile Device USB Driver” reappeared under “Universal Serial Bus controllers”in “Computer Management” – all I had to do was “Enable” it again and I hadaccess to my iPhone in iTunes again.
    Also, I had copied a preexisting file of AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi to mydesktop prior to uninstalling everything, so when I tried to reinstall iTunesand Apple Mobile Device Support failed to install all I had to do later when Ifound the solution was reinstall AMDS. If you do not have a copy of “AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi”try completely uninstalling everything (like so many other forums suggest, asdoes Apple, here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925),and reinstall iTunes with the Hardware Update Wizard .dll file replaced. (I can’tsay if this entire reinstallation will work since I only had to install AMDS.)
    Hope my problem was your problem as well.

  • Acrobat Pro 10 will not install keeps rolling back

    I am attempting to install Adobe Acrobat X on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine, it will not install, gets all the way to the end and then just starts rolling back says the installation was interrupted and that no changes were made to the system.
    I ran the msi from the command line with verbose logging on to see if I could figure out where it fails but couldn't find the error (towards the end it lists many errors but it seems to just be a list of possible errors, not sure but I definately have admin right and ran the msi as an admin so at least those two don't make sense).
    I don't understand why its not installing but I'm really ticked its not at least telling me why its not installing. I had adobe reader and flash on the computer and I was afraid they might be newer versions than just straight Pro X so I uninstalled everything adobe on the computer and it still won't install the Pro X.
    Can someone take a look at my log file and see if they can tell what I'm doing wrong? It would be very appreciated.
    Thanks, SW.

    One thought. Have you tried downloading the updates (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows) and installing directly, rather than doing updates through the help menu?

    Please help me get this software installed.  Frustrating that a legit well known piece of software has so many problems just getting installed.

    I am trying to install a new purchased version of PSE 9 and havin the same issues.  It simply rolls back when near the end of the installation process.   I am on hold with phone support now, but from the sounds of things here on this forum, Adobe is aware of the issue but has no suggestions to fix it.
    This is the first time in my life that I have had issues with installing a new, purchased piece of software.
    C'mon Adobe Support, time to answer us on this and get it solved, or perhaps you would offer us refunds?

  • ITunes 8.1.1 won't install

    Okay I just downloaded iTunes 8.1.1 on my Windows PC and it won't install the update.
    Here's what happens I go through the steps of installing the update -- the welcome screen provides info on what iTunes helps you do (work with iPod, iPhone, Apple TV etc and burning and importing audio CDs, plus buying songs from iTunes and video) then asks you to press next, next screen asks if you accept license agreement, select yes and click next. Next screen asks what language you want iTunes installed in (English US) and what location for me its C/Program Files/iTunes
    Then press next and on the next screen it will install -- next screen shows up and then jumps directly to the iTunes has installed screen without doing so.
    "Says iTunes Installer Completed"
    "The installer encounted errors before iTunes could be configured.
    Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time please return to the installer again. Click Finish to exit installer."
    I have tried using both Apple Software Update which tells me iTunes + QuickTime could not be verified when the installation error occurs and the manual installation by downloading the file and launching it. Any ideas on
    what's causing this?

    Lots of times this is due to QuickTime not installing properly. iTunes depends on QT to play audio & video.
    Try installing QT standalone, first. Make sure you pick the option withOUT itunes.http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Choose SAVE, not run. Double-click the saved exe file to start the install.
    If QT installs OK, and you can get it to open and run, then try the itunes install again.
    Use this link and again, choose SAVE, not run.

    If you get errors during the QT install, post back.

  • I downloaded but it won't install, keeps asking for a password

    I am using Vista and I downloaded firefox. After download complete I clicked on run and a window popped up asking for administrator and password. It also had a button to switch to me and I did both but it won't install. Nothing happens.

    Just to be sure:<br />
    You did download Firefox from the official Mozilla site (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html) ?
    Did you try to run the Firefox installer as Administrator via the right-click context menu ?
    If you keep having problems then you may need to disable your anti-virus software temporarily.

    I downloaded and tried to install. I went to regedit and cleared all adobe acrobat references. It keeps rolling the files back. No go. Any ideas?

    Nobody can know. Calling your info vague would be an understatement. You need to provide much more details like system info and at which point it is rolling back.

  • Edge Animate origin won't transform, keeps snapping back to original position.

    I am working with an Animate composition in Edge Animate CC on a mac.  When I try to transform the origin and select an item, select the transform tool and drag the origin it keeps snapping back to its original position.  I have tried turning off snaps and changing the origin in the properties panel but it snaps right back no matter how I try to change it.  It is as if it's locked in place.  Any ideas on why it won't change?  The items are not grouped and it is a problem will all of the individual elements that I have tried to change.  Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Thank you.  I have shut it down and restarted the Mac and still have the problem.  I am recreating the animation now in case the file was somehow corrupted.  Even with the new file, I am getting an error that Animate encountered a problem and that I should save and restart Animate.  I think I will uninstall and try reinstalling Animate.  Do I have anything to lose by trying that since it looks like I need to recreate anyway?  Thanks again for your help!
