ITunes 8.0.2.20 Won't Install

I had iTunes running without problems. Was notified there was an update (8.0.2.20). Took it, it installed, after that, was never able to run iTunes again. I got an error message (can't remember message number now) that a component was missing. Tried installing several times again. The software always wanted to repair. Successfully completed installation. Same error message over and over. Removed qtime and itunes, tried to install 8.0.2.20 again, and it fails almost immediately with NO error message. The error says:
The installer encountered problems before iTunes could be configured.
Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit installer.
Finish button is only active.
I removed all entried I could find in the registry to Apple, iPod and QuickTime, and tried again... same thing.
Downloaded iTunes setup several times to make sure...
Same thing. Luckily, my iPod id still fine but I have NO software to do anything to it.
All other software is running perfectly.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Got it... It was the apple updater. Once I used the Windows Installer tool, everything installed properly and I'm back...
Cheers!

  • My iTunes downloads okay but just won't install. Keeps telling me program is missing - what do I do? I need to link up my iPhone 4S

    My question is this - why won't iTunes install on my PC?
    Never had trouble in the past but now I have an iPhone it just won't install
    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks in advance

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • ITunes 8.1.1 upgrade 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?

  • ITunes 10.4 unexpected error - won't install into OS X 10.7

    Tried to update after installing Lion. No deal.

    Installed OS X 10.7 Lion this morning. After a successful installation I ran Software Update. Three items were available including iTunes and iWork. I tried to install all at once as usual and the process failed. Installing each one by one was sucecssful with the exception of iTunes 10.4.
    I've tried everything, including repairing permissions, uninstalling iTunes (which Lion will not allow me to do), downloading and installing iTunes directly and so on. No help. This is ridiculous.

  • Itunes/Bonjour/Apple Mobile Device won't Install even though I'm the Administrator

    Since late February I have been unable to reinstall ITunes.  It all started when I tried to update it, and it wouldn't work.  Ultimately I uninstalled ITunes and tried to reinstall it, but I kept getting this message that the Apple Mobile Device could not be installed(?), and that I have to verify that I have sufficient privileges to install.
    Since then I have:
    Ran as the administrator
    Made sure that 'everybody', 'my user' and the 'administrator' (pretty much just me) have full access
    Turned the User Account Control off
    Cleaned up the registry using CCleaner
    Used Command Prompt to check the C drive?
    Used the SubInACL tool to repair any file and registry permissions (from here)
    Nothing worked.  I also went to the ITunes music folder, made myself the administrator, and it still wouldn't work.  Recently I uninstalled Quicktime, Bonjour, and the Apple Mobile Device, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support....everything Apple.  Still couldn't install Itunes.  In fact, now I can't install Bonjour or AMD.
    When I tried to install Bonjour, I got the message:
    "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) could not be installed.  Verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services.".  If I hit 'ignore', then it'll just do the same thing except replace 'Bonjour' with 'Apple Mobile Device'.
    I'm at a lost.

    Hey mrsslick,
    This section contains information that might help your situation if you're using Windows XP:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Quit the following programs if they're running:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Choose Start > Control Panel.
    In Control Panel, open "Add or Remove Programs."
    Select iTunes from the list of currently installed programs and click Remove.
    When asked if you would like to remove iTunes, select Yes.
    After the uninstallation is complete, don't restart your computer if you're prompted.
    If other program entries were listed for iTunes in Add or Remove Programs, remove those as well by repeating steps 4-6.
    Remove all instances of these applications by repeating steps 4-6:
    iPod Updater
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Restart your computer.
    You should be able to remove Apple Mobile Device Support by following those steps above. The article you came from however is for Windows XP - if you're using Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, follow the directions in here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    The steps in "Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel" and "To remove these components, follow these steps" are the most pertinent.
    Let us know if following that article helped at all.

    I upgraded fro iphone4 to iphone5. i restored from backup in iCloud, and almost everything is there perfectly. there was one app on the phone, which i clicked on to finish the install, but it then disappeared. in my iTunes, under library/apps, this app still shows there. how do i reinstall this app. it was a paid app, and i searched the app store, and apparently it is no longer there.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It appears to be fixed, he had multiple versions of iTunes installed (since he put his iTunes in a different folder) the iTunes icon launched the old iTunes, even though the new was installed. it's working now.

  • Itunes 7.0 downloaded but won't install

    I was able to download itunes 7.0 but not able to open it. My powerpoint program gives me a not valid powerpoint program message. Any suggestions?

    I was able to download itunes 7.0 but not able to open it.
    a few questions before proceeding.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
    if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
    or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?
    My powerpoint program gives me a not valid powerpoint program message
    that message might give us a heads-up on what might be happening with your itunes. could you let us know the precise text of the message? (include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    sometimes it's easiest to send us a screenshot of the error message box. there's instructions on how to do that in this user tip:

  • Itunes 8 downloads ok but won't install (not updating)

    Hi everyone.
    Got an ipod for xmas, downloaded itunes 8 for 1st time (not updating), downloads ok, but when opening install program, "open file - security warning" dialog box opens, i click on run, the "unidentified program wants access to your computer" dialog box opens, i click the allow button, i get the 'thinking' cursor for 1 second then nothing happens.
    I'm running it as an adminstrator, i've tried running the program in xp service pack 2 mode, i've redownloaded it 3 times, same thing every time i try. not a 64bit machine, i get no errors, it just does nothing.
    The file i download is 67,146kb so something is actually there, can anybody please help, this is frustrating and my new ipod is a paperweight.

    Hi Polydorus - Happy New Year!!! Thanks for your time and reply.
    Yes i have a 32bit version of windows vista (premium)
    Yes i downloaded itunes from the apple site, saved it and when i try to run it i get the hourglass for 1 second then nothing.
    Looked in the task manager and nothing is running.
    Never had any problem installing anything else or anything windows related.
    I have spybot (rescanning now) and my antivirus is Nod32 so no risk of anything there. I even tried installing in safe mode, but no luck.
    I am running firefox, not I.E. but that shouldn't matter.
    I realize this is where people with problems come to gripe, but there seems to me to be a LOT of problems associated with itunes?
    Spybot found nothing, Nod32 is Hey?????
    While typing this, i was downloading Quicktime from the link you sent to test if that works, the file I've downloaded was named itunes setup(2) shouldn't it be quicktime?????? Guess it automatically called it (2) cause i already got itunes setup in my download folderit's the exact same size as the itunes setup file i've been downloading??????
    Now the apple website actually says thanks for downloading Quicktime 7 not a thing about itunes.
    Click on the download now link on the site you sent me, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ wants to download me the itunes file not quicktime??? Try it !!
    Maybe the people at apple got on the grog a bit before Christmas???
    NOW itunes is installed AND RUNNING !!!!!!!!!
    WHAT THE ..... ???????????
    This is really weird.
    Will connect ipod and see if this actually works or is a mirage and repost results.
    That might be a fix, download it from the quicktime download link???????????, or rename it with a (2) ????
    Regards MrBlob197 (stunned and confused)

  • ITunes 10.7 64 bit won't install in windows 8 64 bit.

    I get the following message: "The installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured.  Errors occurred during installation".  Any ideas why?

    No, but iTunes doesn't yet provide support for Windows 8. Some can get it installed others not.

  • Any iTunes newer than 7.0 won't install; iPod Service won't start

    I've been tryin gto get a new iTunes installed on here but every time i try to install anything over 7.0 the installation halts at starting services and says it can't start the iPod service. I've tried manually shutting down the iPod service before running the installation, disconnecting my iPod, and restart upon restart.
    i've played around with disabling services in windows before but i don't think that anything i switched to manual would've really made that much of a difference besides the iPod service itself, which i switched back to automatic anyway. the strange part is that iTunes 7.0 seems to start the iPod service and install itself just fine. i don't know what the problem is but it's annoying whatever it is.
    someone please help

    for what it is worth, i believe that that means it is hanging up on resources relating to the french language version of the ipodhelp documentation in your itunes help menu.
    try navigating to
    C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\iPodHelp.chm
    ... and deleting that file.
    does the install go through properly after doing that?

  • New iTunes 5.0.1.4 Won't Install Please Help

    Hey i am trying to install the iTunes version 5.0.1.4, but two error messages appear, it begins to install and then this message appears
    " The installscript engine on this machine is older than the version required to run this setup. If availabel please install the latest version of ISScript.msi."
    I then click OK for this and the following error appears,
    "Error: - 1603 Fatal error during installation, consult windows intaller help (msi.chm) or MSDN for more information."
    Then the installer closes, i have looked at the install script version and i think i have version 11, but am unsure, has anyone got an idea whats going on?

    Rob,
    1. Make sure you're running the installer as the administrator for your computer.
    2. Make sure you fully uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. The biggest problems with installing are in fact caused by bad uninstalls. There's a knowledge base article here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes and iPod Software installation on Windows
    3. Reboot somewhere in there. Sometimes with these errors all I've done is clean out the contents of the temp folder and reboot and the install will then work.

  • ITunes 10.5 Help! Won't Install!

    Tryed installing iTunes 10.5 so that I can get the much awaited iOS 5.
    I started downloading it, but after a certain point it stops and this message appears:
    "There is a problem with this windows installer package, a program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor"
    I have no idea what this means, but I attempted researching it and many people said uninstall iTunes altogether, which I have done, and then go to 'Add or Remove Programs' and 'Repair' Apple Software Update. I tried this and after a short period of time this message appears:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi' in the box below"
    So I can't even try this.
    Please someone help. Thanks.

    Hi Guys
    Installed "Apple Software Update" does cause this error and should be uninstalled.
    You don't need to use a third party Windows Installer Clean Up" utility!
    Microsoft is on top of this one. Use the link below and uninstall "Apple Software Update" and then install itunes.

  • Itunes won't install on my PC

    I'm able to download the 35mb installer file for Itunes and quicktime, but it won't install.I get the same error message : Could not access network location itunes/.
    Any suggestions ?

    That message suggests that the installer is getting damage during the download.
    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?
    If you can't get a working installer via the standard download links, try the following download links instead:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe

  • ITunes won't install (at all) on my Windows 8.1 64 bit computer

    I've tried downloading iTunes for Windows 8.1 64-bit computers and it won't install on my machine. I did everything like I think I was supposed to ... but nothing happens. In addition I've tried connnecting my iPhone 5S to a USB port ... nothing good happens. My computer recognizes the iPhone but it won't do anything with it. Also I've tried the suggestions from "windows 8.1 itunes wont recognize iphone: Apple Support Communitites" which entertains that I can open control panel ... find Device Manager and try to install new driver software from my disk ... with the suggestion that I 'browse' and find "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. ... and "Apple" does not exist under Common Files of either "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)"
    So now what????

    What is the full text of the error message?
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
