When I click on run to start my download of itunes a box from internet explorer pops up and says "The connection to the server was reset." Any idea what's going on?

In attempting to install itunes on a laptop I keep encountering a problem with internet explorer. When I click on run a box pops up and says, "The connection from the server was reset." I don't know how to get past this.

Use a different browser.

Current iTunes upgrade kills ALL internet connection to computer

I'm using iTunes on Windows XP SP3. Previous versions were not a problem. I upgraded to the current version (11.0.2) and lost all internet connectivity, not just to the iTunes store, but to ALL applications; my computer reported that NO internet connection was present at all. Doing a system restore resolved this, but the upgrade left some remnant that has rendered the previously working version of iTunes inoperable; when I execute it, it suggests I download the current version to correct the problem, but of course that kills my internet connection altogether and thus is not a solution.
Googling this has indicated fixes involving:
1) Deleting the iTunesPrefs.XML file
--> That didn't work.
2) A solution involving executing "netsh winsock reset" at the command prompt and then rebooting.
--> That didn't work either.
In fact, nothing I could find online worked. I am NOT using Norton, McAfee, or any other anti-virus or firewall that would be causing the conflict. Again, I'm using Windows XP SP3, and have a direct internet feed into my computer.
What can be done to fix this? Currently I cannot use iTunes at all on my computer because of the upgrade and the havoc it's caused (the System Restore did NOT restore the previous working version of iTunes; when I execute it, it claims a component is missing and I should download and install the current version...)
Many thanks in advance,
Tom

New itunes/ipod software blocks Internet Explorer (IE)

I have new ipod (30 GB) for Xmas, which comes with new software and recommends installing it, even if you have it already for better performance..., but it blocks connection to Internet among many other problems caused to many other users.
Is any way to fix it or have to wait until new software is fix?
Between all many bigger problems I read I did not see this.
Check settings deeply by myself first and then with IP: PC not shows any signs of changes on settings, modem works properly and my other computer was able to connect to Internet. We conclude it was no problem of connection with IP system or hardware, was with any new software update or program installed yesterday as itunes, real player or windows media player.
Then uninstall ipod software and after restart was able to reconnect to Internet.
Reinstall ipod software to see if now all works properly but not, same problem again, so I have to uninstall again new ipod/ itunes software, just hope Apple fix it or be able to use old software with new ipod.
Before have a shuffle only .
Does old itunes software should work in the same way for both, right?
Because I am not using new again until is fix.
Reading all problems everybody else has I am very lucky, not lost previous songs and was able to install and download songs to ipod from itunes, real player and windows media player. I did not try quick time yet.
Thank you for any help.

I'm assuming you haven't gotten any help with this problem?
So perhaps I can revive a little activity here ... I have the same problem, but with a twist:
1) From behind my corporate firewall, I can do all sorts of "iTunes things" such as access the iTMS and download purchases. And, of course, I can access all sorts of other services on the internet via the firewall just fine (so obviously my proxy settings are correct).
2) From behind the firewall, if I connect either my 5th gen iPod or 3rd gen Nano and the iPod firmware is out of date, I'll get the message saying there's a newer version of the s/w ... and if I click "Update" I'll then get a dialog saying "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again."
3) From outside of the firewall (with proxies turned off), the update works just fine.
This seems to point to iTunes (7.6.1) as having a problem with negotiating a firewall for the download service only.
Hoping someone from Apple is listening and replies with some clues to fixing this ...

Itunes 10.7 - Internet Explorer stops working

When I download itunes 10.7 my Internet Explorer 9 stops working and I can't get itunes 10.7; how do I fix this?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Can't install itunes, closes internet explorer

I have just got a new computer it is a Compaq laptop and it meets way over the requirements. I am trying to download itunes to it so I can transfer my music from my desktop to my laptop and when i click on the download now button for itunes it closes out internet explorer and tells me there is a problem that is causing the program to not run correctly, but it will not tell me the problem. PLEASE help!

Are you able to complete the download if you use a different web browser, like Firfox?

Internet explorer needed for itunes store?

I had IE on my comp - at one point it worked but it stopped working about a month ago; It won't load any web pages. I have internet connectivity and can access everything through Firefox... except AIM 6.0 and the iTunes store - which is really annoying because I've been listening to the same songs for a while now and want to buy some new tracks... but can't. Is there a way to get iTunes to work without internet explorer on a PC? Please help!
Dell Latitude 620 Windows XP Pro

Internet explorer is built in to windows. But you don't use it to browse the ITMS. iTunes is a self contained browser. Case in opint. I use firefox on an daily basis and can still browse the iTMS just the same. Your connectivity issue is completely different I'm afraid.

Itunes won't open and neither will microsoft internet explorer :I

Hi
My Itunes hasn't been able to open for months, the first time it happened was about the time my Internet explorer stopped working for no reason and my msn messenger won't connect either. Could these be linked I have a had a few I.T. keen people look at it with no solution... I have tried removing and reinstalling Itunes and msn Messenger but nothing has worked. When I click on it, it just won't open... any ideas?

okay.
some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on
possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005
installed on the PC?
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so,
what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could
you describe it for us?)
(3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and
click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch
itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes
tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it
disappear after a few seconds?
hey, i recently been having troubles with opening iTunes
i thought you could help because you suggested something that is causing me trouble (number 1: Norton 2005)
i click to open iTunes.exe but nothing happens. the process appears in the Task manager, but i cannot terminate it. And upon opening, my Norton session manager ends with an error
can you help me?

When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I don't know. I never downloaded apps through Firefox until all of a sudden Internet Explorer didn't work. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

What application are you choosing to open the files with?
Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too.

I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer?

Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

I installed iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run.

I installed iTunes on my Dell PC running Windows 7 and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run. Are there any known conflicts, or likely issues that may be causing this?
I've rebooted, and the iTunes program seems to operate fine. I used it to upgrade my iPad's OS to 8.1.3.

They aren't related and shouldn't affect each other.

Internet explorer stopped working after installing iTunes 11.1.5

Installed new version of iTunes 11.1.5 on pc running windows 8.1 and now internet explorer has stopped working.

I have exactly the same problem with a new acer aspire. I successfully installed Itunes but windods 8.1 explorer stopped working. I had to deinstall itunes for IE to work.

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

Empty "Links__1" and "Links__2" folders in Safari after syncing my Internet Explorer Bookmarks with iTunes.

I use Firefox and Internet Explorer on my desktop and sync the bookmarks between them using XMarks. I then sync my Internet Eplorer bookmarks to my iPad using iTunes. On top of all of my bookmarks, which sync fine, I have 2 extra empty folders called "Links__1" and "Links__2". I can delete them but they eventually reappear after syncing (though not always on the next sync).
Any ideas on what is causing this and how to prevent this would be appreciated.

Solved.
I think.
I had 2 hidden "Favorites Bar" folders in my Favorites folder. Deleted them and the pronlem seems to have gone away.
Fingers crossed.
