ITunes 7.0 Installation - Solution!

Chances are if you are reading this, you have experiencced iTunes 7.0 download issues. Like many other PC users on this discussion forum there are some unique and similar problems regarding Apple's latest release. For those who clicked the box to download iTunes 7.0 after the Sept. 14th release the program may have never fully downloaded. In my case it got to the last two or three bars and just hung up completely. Removing the program and reinstalling iTunes 7.0 did not fix the problem. The iTunes Support downloads were useless in resolving the issue as well. When I finally decided to remove iTunes using Advanced Uninstaller Pro 2006 I thought why not go back to iTunes 6.05 which worked just fine.
iTunes 7.0 creates a iTunes Music Library.xml file that will likely prohibit you from running a lower version of iTunes and accessing your library. After hours of trying to fix it myself, researching the internet and chat rooms I thought, why not bug my brother-in-law who works for Apple. If you wish to go back to 6.05 until Apple fixes some issues on 7.0 follow these steps:
1) Uninstall iTunes 7.0
2) Make sure your music remains in the c:\my documents\my music\iTunes\iTunes Music folder
3) Download iTunes 6.05 from the following site: www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
4) Complete the installation and open Windows Explorer
5) Copy your "Previous iTunes Library" from c:\my documents\my music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Library directly into the iTunes directory. To do this select the file, right mouse copy and go up to iTunes and right mouse paste.
6) Return to your desktop or start menu and lauch iTunes 6.05. Once the program launches do not click on download 7.0. Apple engineers are working to resolve these issues and another release 7.01 or something is inevitable.
iTunes 7.0 preserves the Previous Library however you have to copy it over as described above to get around the error message regarding the fact that iTunes cannot access the library because of the reference to the higher version. Once you follow these steps you will be back to grooving out with your music.
Once everything is working again feel free to email the folks at the Apple Support at the following website and let them know how much fun you have had with 7.0: www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/download
Best Wishes!

I have had nothing but problems with the iTunes email support... At one point their ineptness was almost comical. I might have laughed if I hadn't been so ticked off.
Your solution is the one I used to solve my quicktime skipping problems until I discovered that upping the Khz and bit rates solved the problem... So, I went to download a new TV episode of Monk and it told me I couldn't until I upgraded to 7.0.1 which I did.
Now all of the music and videos that I downloaded under a previous email address can not be authorized for some reason.
I'm really getting tired of all of these problems... As soon as something else comes along that's comparable, I'm going to jump ship!

  • Solution: iTunes for Windows installation interrupted

    Hi everyone.
    From my experience...
    If you are running Windows XP Professional and have updated to Service Pack 2, you will not be able to install iTunes+QuickTime.
    You will need to un-install Service Pack 2 and then install iTunes+QuickTime. You can then re-install Service Pack 2, but keep in mind that if you try to update iTunes+QuickTime, you will need to un-install SP2 again.
    This is if you can't install or update and are receiving a message reading:
    "The iTunes for Windows installer has completed.
    The installation was interrupted before iTunes could be completely installed.
    The System has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run the installation again.
    Click Finish to exit the wizard."
    Good luck!

    Something is clearly horked up regarding SP2.
    Try re-applying SP2.

  • I am unable to re-install itunes. The installer starts ok and then indicates that it can not access a network !!

    I am unable to re-install itunes. The installer starts ok and then indicates that it can not access a network !!  I have tried to uninstall but get the sme error message. I have used 3rd party software to uninstal but still have no joy. My pc is running Vista.
    Can you anyone offer a working solution ?

    Many thanks.
    Let's try the fixit from the following Microsoft document with that one:
    Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled

  • IPad (4th Gen Retina Display Wi-Fi) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows).  Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. Any other solution?

    iPad (Retina Display) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows).  Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply.  This is timely and aggravating.  Any other solution?
    I have also tried a hard reset.  I have also gone into settings and checked "display all music". 
    Anyone know if the new update will have solutions to this problem?

    Successful experience with Apple Care.
    If anyone is having the same problem, there's a chance it's an issue with the Mobile Device Manager for iTunes. The key is to ditch the old/corrupt file and replace it via clean iTunes installation.
    Here's the fix that worked for me:
    1. Trash iTunes (uninstall); don't forget to trash it from your dock if you have it there.
    2. Head to /System/Library/Extensions/ and trash file AppleMobileDevice.kext
    3. Head to /Library/Receipts/ and trash AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg  ( * this may or may not be there * )
    4. Restart computer (& empty trash)
    5. Download fresh & clean iTunes and reinstall.
    Voila! The content is now properly recognized by iTunes, the capacity bar registers the correct amount and type beyond "Other", and now I can put music back on the iPad.

  • ITunes 10.5 installation problem on Lion 10.7.2

    I've first upgraded Lion to 10.7.2 with http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459 because it was failing with the regular software upgrade, then I run software upgrade again and chose to upgrade iTunes. The installation failed without any useful output. Then I've downloaded installation of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and tried to install it, but ended with same error. Now if I open iTunes, it starts with a "An unknown error occured (-42408)." message. The about page states that it's version 10.5 (141) and the check for updates states that it's the latest. If I run the system's software upgrade then iTunes is displayed there. Any suggestions how can I fix this, or at least downgrade to the previous version which was working fine?

    I have the same problem. I also have the following problem : iTunes 10.5 told me that my iPad needed resetting which I started to do and then it errored out on me leaving my iPad stuck. I eventually upgraded to OS5 on my daughters Mac which was running iTunes 10.5 with OS X  10.6.8 but have lost all my apps etc which I presume are on my iTunes . Unfortunately my iTunes will still not let me access my iPad. I haven't dared plug in my iPhone since upgrading to 10.7.2 in case it does the same thing. Help!

    Relocate iOS device backups
    Assuming you're running Windows Vista or later you can use the following steps:
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command (on one line) and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command (on one line) and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your target drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    In some cases (perhaps depending on what builds of iTunes were installed in the past) it seems the folder is in the \Local\ branch of AppData rather than \Roaming\ in which case edit to suit.
    If you're still running Windows XP you can use Junction (cmd line tool) or NTFSLink (shell ext). In both cases you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then use the tools to get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.
    Note that while this method works for iOS device backups it cannot be used to redirect sections of the media library.
    If your iTunes library is on the C:\ drive with the media folder held elsewhere then see also make a split library portable.

  • What is an itunes 64-bit installer?

    What is an itunes 64-bit installer? I have a windows 8 OS and the 64-bit version of itunes downloaded but could not run due to some sort of incompatibility issue.

    Go to the Start button and right click on Computer, go to Properties where it will display the System you have. Sounds like you have a 32-bit system and will need a 32-bit version of iTunes, not 64-bit.

  • Windows7 (64bit) and itunes 64-bit installer failing

    I'm trying to install the itunes 64-bit installer on my new windows7 64bit system to sync my phone and pad but comes up with the following error
    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? (For example, 8007000B.)
