Itunes 11 failing to install on Windows 8.1

I recently tried to update my Itunes prompted by Apple Update program. Since then Itunes fails to install. My question is why did Aplle prompt me to update a software package that will not work when the initial version was working fine.
I did not see any need for updating and now I can not synchronise my iPAD with my PC.
I notice similar problems from many people.
Can someone at Apple please provide a working solution to this problem

Though I am not from Apple, I can provide you with another user's very helpful page: Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

    Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
    The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
    I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
    You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
    In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
    WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
    This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
    No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

  • ITunes fails to install with error Ox800736FD. Any ideas?

    iTunes fails to install with error Ox800736FD. Any ideas?

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7

    What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7 & missing MSVCR80.dll) - the DLL is not missing.  tgried to install today and it failed - what a waste.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall go to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • New iTunes fails to Install

    The new iTunes fails to install saying "The Installer has insufficient priveleges to modify C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\itms.js". It then just exits when I hit "ok".
    I'm running Vista and i turned off UAC to see if that would help, but no luck.
    Anyone seen this?

  • ITunes Fails to Install Apps

    I bought a new app and downloaded it to iTunes.  It appears on the screen  but iTunes fails to install it to my iPod.  When I click "Install" it changes to "Will Install" but doesn't.  I can drag the icon from the Apps list to the  simulated iPod screen in iTunes but still it doesn't install it.  I have downloaded updates for a couple of apps and it does the same thing -- it never installs these updates either. 
    For what it's worth I have apps that do file transfers from iTunes to the iPod and these work - they do transfers and deletions. Also, every time I connect iTunes backs up the iPod.
    What's wrong?

    I haven't done that for a while because the system never seems to accept my password when sent from the device anymore.  My password is 16 random uppercase and lowercase and digits and being mildly dyslexic it's anxiety producing and time consuming to enter it over and over just to have it not work again and again.
    But, I'm sure it's the correct password because I can log onto the app store, buy and download apps.  I just did that before logging on here and making my original post.

  • ITunes 11.1.3 download fails to install for Windows XP

    Currently have iTunes 11.1.2.32 installed on a Windows XP SP3 PC. Control Panel lists version as 11.1.1.?. After downloading 11.1.3 install fails because "older version can't be removed". Uninstall of older version from Control Panel also fails.

    (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?

  • ITunes fails to install automatically on Win 7 64-bit computer

    iTune always fails to install automatically, and advises me to select to only download the updates, and then to install them manually. Well, there are five files that download: 1) AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi, 2)iTunes64.msi, 3)QuickTime.msi, 4) QuickTimeInstallerAdmin.exe, and 5)SetupAdmin.exe.
    There are no further instructions as to which to install or in what sequence. So, I selected the iTunes64.msi, and after several "...verify that you have access to that directory" dialogue boxes, it installed -- (I do have version 10 now). But my iTunes doesn't say whether it is the 64-bit or 32-bit version that has been installed. How can I determine if I have installed the 64- or 32- bit version? And what do I do with the other files that were downloaded? Help, please!
    I would truly 'perciate any advise!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
