ITunes 7 WONT install for no valid reason!

I cannot install iTunes 7, it says 'iTunes cannot be installed on this computer because it requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher' ... ... which I am already on.
To add insult to injury, my iPod is now updated and now im stuck with iTunes 6 which no longer recognises my iPod. The only solution I can think of is to reset my iPod, which will also mean loosing ALL my data I have stored on there. I dont even mind staying with iTunes 6 as long as I dont have to loose all my files in the process.
Is there another way around this?

Have you recently updated to 10.3.9?
When I did that it seemed to take my mac a couple of restarts to get it to work properly.
Also, are you trying to upload Itunes from the Itunes site? I eventually did it by going to the updates section from my desktop, where it offered me the option of Itunes 7 and then it eventually seemed to work!

I installed itunes 11.1.3 and now my itunes store wont work - for example the movie list comes up blank

i installed itunes 11.1.3 and now my itunes store wont work - for example the movie list comes up blank- does anyone knw how to fix this?

Looks like blame is incorrectly placed. Turns out my iSCSI connector is struggling with Mavericks. When I placed the iTunes library on a local drive, everything came back to normal.

HT1349 Yesterday, 18/08/2013, my itunes library was corrupted for no apparent reason, the library is intact but all playlists, favourites, guenius, the library rebuilt itself. PC based not MAC, why?

Yesterday, 18/08/2013, my itunes library began rebuilding for no good reason when itunes was fired up. It took a fair while with near 400 albums. The library seems to be intact but all Playlists, Favourites, Purchased items, times played history information was lost. Most sleeve pictures were recovered but some I noticed were later versions (digitally enhanced for example).
There was a Windows 7 update the night before but I don't remember if itunes was used after this or not.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I have had to choose the 'ipad' community although this is not the device I use, I can't select itunes as it is not listed.

No worries. It's just sometimes people don't say what they mean or mean what they think they mean and it can slow down the process. Of course, sometimes I just don't read what people actually wrote.
I keep my external hard drive connected via the Airport Extreme Base Station, and always keep it connected ( in other words, I see it in the Finder SideBar, and it always says connected ).
Hmm. That should mean it's "mounted". However, I do have some vague recollection that using an Airport disk was problematic. However, the articles I read on that were back when the Airport Extreme first debuted. I'm not as conversant with using Airport disks as I just use an external USB drive connected to my MacBook. Sorry I don't have more wisdom...

TS1424 has anyone experienced their payment method on iTunes Store being declined for no apparent reason?

For no apparent reason I got a response back from the iTunes Store saying " this card can not be used for the iTunes Store"
I have been using the same card for over a year no problem. Checked with my back looks good on their end.
Has anyone ran into this before?

Thanks for the the information Tyler. I'm still in awe, I heard that if an LCD is over heating or the phone is over heating, there would be a warning message telling me that the device is over heating, not sure how true is this?
Nah I never dropped it yet, its too fresh and precious to me but the funny thing is no matter what care I took since the three weeks that I've had it, it still developed this problem.

ITunes tunes wont install on win7 Ultimate 32bit. I have installed

I have installed and removed the software at least a dozen times. I have tried to install thru winRAR and get the same error message. The error message is about 100 characters long. The install stops, backs up, and then proceeds forward. When trying to use iTunes after the install, another error message pops up saying that iTunes needs Apple Support Application, not found and to uninstall and reinstall AGAIN! I have removed the install, and cleaned the registery, 3x wiped the free space, and rebooted.

Yeah, you're pointing in the wrong direction when you blame the issue on your iPod. Reference the KB article mentioned above, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302335 and then check your windows user settings in the Windows Control Panel and then ensure that you are an Administrator of the computer. If not, login as one and uninstall/reinstall.
If that fails, check to ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running by typing "services.msc" (without quotes) in the Run menu (Start/Run/services.msc).
Lastly, try running the iTunes installer file after you have disconnected from the internet (physically un-plug the network cable from your computer if you're on DSL/Cable/LAN) then disabled your anti-virus software.
If these steps work for you, please let us know here on the forums. If not, we'll still try, but remember, this is an Apple forum, so to expect a lot of Windows answers may be like going to your barber for advice about your overbite.
Hope this helps.

Tapes wont play for no good reason. Please help.

Dealing with a Handycam DCR-TRV260 Digital8 Video8 Hi8 NTSC here. Let me tell you my story. I first got that camera when I was 13 years old and I shot alot of home videos... I was immature and REALLY abused it. After 10 years it still kinda works but the footage is heavily distorted and only certain parts would even play etc. I really wanted to watch those old videos again. So I thought hmm I'm going to buy ANOTHER one...the EXACT same camera so that everything goes good. After all, none of those tapes play on my dads different handycam. Also I figure the tapes aren't messed up its the camera itself, I atleast took good care of the tapes. Yes I bought the same EXACT camera again a few months ago on Ebay. Its in perfect condition all clean and shiney inside...you can tell the owner took good care of it. I'm so happy that I could finally play those old videos. I got the iLink going on my computer and everything is awesome! But I got a problem still. I have about 5 tapes that just wont play for some reason! They wouldn't play on the beat up camera and they wont play on the nice used one I got on ebay. No "dirty video head" messages come up or any other kind of tape error messages. The tapes LOOK good just like my other ones. They spin well...everything sounds good. They just wont play! The thing is I KNOW there is footage on these! I remember some of the content. Infact one of the tapes plays for a few minutes but fades away in distortion as if the video head was dirty. But the videohead looks clean, no error messages and it plays other tapes fine. WHY THESE TAPES? Was it because they were filmed on 2 different cameras? Same model but still different? Did I accidentally erase/formant the tapes in the press of a button? Did I record them in a certain mode and they have to be played a certain way? Is my video head dirty even though there are no error messages or signs of dirt? Could a tape get damaged even if it looks fine? Does it have something to do with the kind of tape I used? WHY WONT THEY PLAY? PS: If I took the tapes into Walgreens or some kind of "rescued memories conversion place" do you think they could recover the footage and find out why the tapes wont play? PSS: Why dont tapes recorded on one Sony Handycamera play on different models of Sony Handycameras?
THANK YOU!!!

Hi chrnko,
Thanks for the detailed explanation of the issue. It would seem that the 5 tapes that are not playing back in both cameras may be faulty. As you said, all your tapes, except these 5, can be played back without any issues when using your older and new camera.
As for your question on why some tapes won't play in other camcorders, it would depend on the tape they were recorded in. Digital 8 camcorders not designed to playback tapes recorded in the 8mm or Hi8™ format. It can only playback tapes recorded in the Digital8® format.
We would suggest contacting Sony Media Services for options of recovering/transferring your videos to other media like DVD discs.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution". Thanks_Mitch

ITunes 10 wont install

Hi,
itunes 10 won't install. It keeps giving me the error that "can't delete ipod service". I cancelled out and tried installing from from Tools>download only .
No luck. I had this problem in going from 8 to 9 and I had to delete everything according to apple support knowlegebase. Then it got insatlled.
I don't want to do in every update.
Is Apple becoming like Microsoft?

I had the same problem installing iTunes 10 into Windows XP.
I did two things:
1) bring up Task Manager and kill iPodService
2) I kept clicking "Don't Send" when prompted if I wanted to send an error report to Microsoft. The last dialog box that came up allowed me to click "Ignore". After that, the installation completed and iTunes 10 was installed and working. However. once you reboot your machine, the error returns about iPodService but iTunes continue to work.

Satellite A660 Cant get official updates and iTunes-64 wont install

Hi,
I've had my laptop for about 3 weeks now and have some problems that maybe someone here can help with :)
It is a Toshiba Satellite A660 Windows 7 64 bit, with all the toshiba support options allowed - tempro, bulleting board health check etc.
Problem 1:
The toshiba bulleting board asked me to update a load of stuff - Bios, Display Drivers, Wireless drivers etc.
The only update that (appeared to...it didnt freeze at least ) worked was the broadcom wireless driver update.
So, for the display update, I download the file, extract it, and nothing happens - I have tried running the tinstallwb.exe myself -
I get prompted if I want the program to modify the hard drive, I say yes..and thats the last I hear of it..been trying for hours to get this to work, but i look at a desktop with no activity. In the archive folder, if I try and run the setup.exe (i.e. the nvidia part) it says that no valid nvidia hardware has been detected.
Problem 2:
I tried the bios update, that the bulletin board asked me to install...it failed, just didnt want to install.
Problem 3:
I spend most of the time powering down the laptop, as it freezes on the shutdown screen...
Problem 4:
Prob not a toshiba issue - but I cannot install Quicktime or iTunes...the installer just freezes (It doesnt go into not responing though) - I left th elaptop runningn for about 4 hours yesterday, trying to install itunes 64 bit until I had to kill the task (and power down, as shutdown doesnt work)
Any ideas, I've given up on trying to update the updates that the toshiba Bulleting board is telling me to update?
I've tried the obvious update everything I can, but the toshiba updates dont update :(
Other software installed: MS Office and Outlook, firefox.
Thanks for any help,
Andy

Hi
1) You can download all the drivers directly from the Toshiba European driver page.
If you really need an update, then you should download the file, should save it on the HDD, should unzip the package and should either execute the setup.exe or should update the driver from the device manager.
2) Here is a HowTo doc about BIOS update:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=60
If this is not possible, then your Windows OS might be muddled up and maybe you should recover the notebook before running a BIOS update.
3) As suggested above; all these issues might be related to the corrupted OS and maybe you need to reinstall the OS to get it working again.
4) see point 3

I have been on the phone with Apple ipod for 2 hours. The problem is not Apple it is Windows and they can not fix it. So either your stuck with this piece of crap or you can return it and get a MP3 player, because Cory the "higher up guy" in Apple says not his problem.

Itunes 7 wont install because quicktime wont

i tryed reinstalling itunes 7, but it says that i need quicktime 7.1.3, but the quicktime wont download. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
windows xp Windows XP

replying to cldavis
I have also tried to install quicktime separately and nothing seems to work.
did you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall? if so, what did it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
which QT installer did you download from the QT installer download page? was it called QuickTimeInstaller.exe, or iTunesSetup.exe? (the former is a standalone QT installer, and the latter is an itunes/QT installer bundle.)

ITunes will not open - for no obvious reason!

Yesterday morning iTunes stopped opening on my computer. I downloaded the new version a few days ago but I'm pretty sure I had used it since then and that it had worked. My computer seems to think about opening it, as it makes all the usual computing noises, but then nothing happens. I've tried re-installing it too, which apparently seems to work OK, except it still won't work! Any suggestions? Ta, Rob

When I click to open it, my pointer turns to a small pointer and a small hourglass together for a few seconds. My computer makes the usual noises it makes when opening something, only for slightly longer. Then the normal pointer returns to normal and nothing has happened.
I tried pressing ctrlaltdelete to see what's going on, and there are processes labelled as "iTunesHelper.exe" and "iPodService.exe" running, should I try closing either of those, or are they not to do with this? There is no mention of iTunes proper itself.
Quicktime opens just as usual and works fine.
I had a look through the link you offered but I don't think any of the suggestions applied to me. I appreciate your efforts!

Help!! iTunes 7 wont install

I recently bought an ipod and when trying to download and install the newest version of itunes it fails. Specifically when I download itunes, it only downloads 26-27mb of the 36mb that it says there is. Then when I try to open the file to install it, it says that it is not a valid win32 file.I then tried extracting the files through winrar which worked and then when I tried installing the itunes program it starts to go then when I get to the final step it says failed because of a quicktime error. Can anyone help me, ill try and download it again so that I can see what the error says exactly. Thanks

Hi philly7,
That error message has been covered in an article in Apple's knowledge base. See if it helps with your issue:
iTunes: Windows reports that iTunesSetup.exe is not a "valid Win32 application"

ITunes won't open for a different reason then anyone else has posted! HELP!

Hey, hopefully you can help me. I recently tried to move my music to my new external hard drive. It was successful and worked fine. All of the sudden, iTunes decided that it would not open. Whenever I try to open iTunes the following message pops up:
The folder "itunes" cannot be opened or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "my music" folder.
I have tried to move the music back, tried to create a new folder (my music and itunes), tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I even tried to reinsert my ipod/itunes software cd, and even that didnt work.
Think you can handle this question? Then shoot me the answer to this question!

this seemed like it was going to work, but when i
click repair my music folder, it doesn't do anything.
When i clicked it for the other ones, it thought for
a half-second then i went to my documents and my
video folder was back as was my pictures. However,
my music still wasn't there. what now?
I'm not sure what you did, but whatever you did, it was wrong. I'm not talking about any "Repair" options...
Just create a "My Music" folder in the correct place. Then open TweakUI, and go to My Computer->Special Folders in TweakUI. In the folder drop down, select the "My Music" folder, then use the Change Location button to select the new My Music folder you have just created.
There's no magical "Repair" involved. You need to fix the folder yourself.
