Itunes 9.1 update for Windows Vista (x64) won't run, why???

I have been running itunes for several years and have had no problems. I updated today to the latest version (9.1). The update seemed to go fine. However, when I try and run itunes the computer whirrs and flashes as if the software is starting but nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the result is the same, it simply won't launch/run.
Looking at other discussions there are obviously lots of people with similar problems, but I can't find a solution that works, can anyone help??
I'm about to order an iphone (i have an ipod) but there's not much point if the software doesn't work. Help!

I had exactly the same problem and I spent 3 Hours 2 Min on the phone with Apple Support. Basically there is a conflict with Bonjour and you have to disable Bonjour first, then go into the control panel and uninstall all Apple Applications. iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, and finally Bonjour in that order. (If you try to uninstall Bonjour before disabaling, you will pull your hair out because it will not uninstall until it's disabled.)
Then reinstall iTunes 9.1 and it will work. However Bonjour will not work, therefore if you have Apple Wireless Applications, Apple TV, such as I have, etc. they won't work.
iTunes works fine now and I've been able to synch my iPhone, with no problems. I sure hope they come out with a fix soon. I'm surprized they didn't post a fix as I mentioned, because while I was on the phone with them, they indicated I wasn't the only one with that problem, but I guess they are busy with the iPad rollout.

Update for Windows Vista (KB936824) Won't Work

My computer keeps telling me to download the Update for Windows Vista (KB936824), but when I run it:
*The update does not apply to you system*
And my iPod is failing so I really need this. What's the problem?

As I said in your other post, go to www.microsoft.com or contact your computer manufacturer for help. This is a Windows problem, not an iPod problem.

ITunes Update for Windows Vista 64 bit

Does anybody know when this is going to be released. I got an iPhone and can't sync it with the latest version of Windows Vista. The friendly staff at AT&T forgot to tell me that I would not be able to use my iPhone until iTunes came out with an update for Windows Vista.
Thank You.

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 move on 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.

Installing iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows Vista X64

Hey guys,
Sorry if this has been covered in the past, I looked over the forum and couldn't find anything on this. However I have a solution for installing iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows Vista x64.
What was happening was that anytime I installed iTunesSetup.exe from Windows Vista x64 it said it couldn't find QuickTime and aborted the install. Well what was happening is that all 32 bit installers now go to the "Program Files (x86)" directory. And the install team at Apple hard coded iTunes Install to look for the QuickTime folder in "c:\Program Files" instead of getting the location provided by the OS ("c:\Program Files (x86)\"). So it blows up when it cannot find the QuickTime directory in the wrong location.
First download QuickTimeInstaller.exe and install QuickTime. (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/)
Move the QuickTime folder from c:\Program Files (x86) to c:\Program Files
Then download iTunesSetup.exe and install iTunes. (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/)
Worked perfectly for me. Let me know if anybody has any problems. I would also like to forward what I found to apple so that they can fix this in the future. Does anybody know a good source to send this too?

Maybe you can hel me

Are there previous versions of icloud control panel available for Windows Vista x64?

I have had icloud 2.1.3 running on my pc for years (up to tonight). I uninstalled it from my computer in hopes to update the software. Unfortunately, I learned that the latest version of the icloud control panel is only compatible with Windows 7/8. I contacted Apple support to re-download the software and I'm being told that there's no way to obtain a previous version. ***? Does apple honestly leave consumers of their products high and dry like that? Wow!
Does anyone know of a trustworthy source to re-download previous versions of icloud control panel that are compatible with Windows Vista x64?

I does work, I also had it on my PC/Vista, but had to reformat and now I cannot find it....sheesh

Installing "Update for Windows Vista (KB936824)" Problems

If anyone can help me out with this, I'd be so grateful.
Last week I installed 7.3 on my computer without a problem. It worked great, until last night, when I got a popup saying that I needed to install a plugin type thing for my Vista computer so my iPod wouldn't crash if I unplugged it. Okay, fine. I follow the instructions, restarted the system and then went back into iTunes. Only it wouldn't play any music.
The program itself isn't frozen, I can access menus, help, etc. just fine. When I go to play a song, it just stays at 0.00. It's not my soundcard as sound works fine in other programs, so it's just itunes. I even ejected my iPod and the iPod seems to be okay.
I uninstalled the plugin, recent Windows updates, and iTunes 7.3 and installed 7.2 instead and the same thing happens. So what did I do wrong?

Nicely done! I hadn't thought to check how that control panel was working in Vista yet. (Sorry about that.)
However, when I shut down all iTunes related programs (Quicktime included) and restarted, it worked!
Shutting down QuickTime may have been the trick here. It handles audio playback for itunes, so the changes you made might not have been registering for QuickTime until it restarted QuickTime. (QuickTime can be a bit like that on XP at least.)

ITunes 9.2 update on windows 7 x64 failed What I did to fix it

Seems like everybody else had the same problems. In my case the upgrade originally failed with a 2324 error. It suggested trying again and if it continued that I should select tools download only. That is what I did. It will save the files to: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update .
The five files are:
AppleApplicationSupport
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64
Bonjour64
iTunes64
SetupAdmin
1. I started by running SetupAdmin.
2. Then I tried to install Bonjour64. Opps there is my 2324 error. So I clocked Start->Run->Services.msc In the list of services rightclick on Bonjour and select Stop Service. Then Click Start->Control Panel->Programs and Features Right Click on Bonjour and select uninstall. While here I decided to uninstall all of the other Apple programs (Don't forget Quicktime.)
Install Bonjour64
3. Install AppleApplicationSupport
4. Install AppleMobileDeviceSupport64
5. Install iTunes64
Opps there is the second error. Quicktime didn't install properly. Downloaded quicktime and installed it (don't do this). Ran qt and checked for upgrade. I have the latest available. Ran iTunes64 opps Quicktime didn't install properly.
***! Why is it even trying to reinstall qt if I have the latest?
6. Uninstall qt. Download iTunes 9.2+QT for x64
7. Install the download with no problems.
I then Disabled Bonjour since it causes problems on my system.
What I discovered. Bonjour is stealthed in. It should be an OPTION like safari. The Bonjour was not able to stop and uninstall the existing disabled Bonjour. Evidently the Quicktime player was also no able to be uninstalled by the upgrade. When manually uninstalled the upgrade could still not install qt.
The upgrade is not properly checking for installed versions. It forces an unneeded reinstall of qt.
The upgrade program is seriously broken and needs to be fixed.

ITunes will not update on Windows Vista Inspiron 1525

I have a Windows Vista Inspiron 1525 and iTunes version 9.1 or something. Every time I try to update iTunes/QuickTime to 9.2 or 10.0, it starts installing but stops after awhile. Please comment, whether you have a similar issue or have a solution to this problem. Thank you!

King Penguin set you on the right track. It's probably security software not recognizing the new version of itunes, and blocking it.

What version of iTunes can I download for Windows Vista, with a QuickTime player that won't crash Windows Explorer?

I have tried installing both iTunes 10.4.1 and iTunes 10.3.1 for 64-bit Windows Vista. They both install well, but my Windows Explorer crashes as soon as I open either of them. I have to 'hit the emergency brakes' and hold down the power button on my laptop to stop the meltdown. After reading other people's threads, I realized that the problem is QuickTime 7. I still need to find out, however, if there is a 64-bit Vista version of iTunes with QuickTime 6 or lower that can still be downloaded from the Apple website. I really like iTunes, and I have done without for about two years now. Please help!!!

6.2 isn't supported with the Clie. If the data is being lost inbetween syncs then here are a few tips to prevent data loss.
Never turn the computer off while Palm Desktop is running.
Don't leave the Palm Desktop open when it's not in use
Make sure that the Palm Desktop is closed with any security applications are running scans.

TS5376 itunes 11.1.4 for Windows Vista - I've uninstalled prior version and associated applications, but get message"cannot download" the exe file. Why?

Followed instructions to uninstall iTunes and related components and files, but still get error that the "exe" file cannot be downloaded. Any suggestions on what to do next? This all started because I wanted to sync my iphone to the computer.

I was able to successfully download iTunes after repeated attempts to remove Apple Mobile Device Support finally worked. Had to repair, re-install, then uninstall it. Found useful tips on how to do that in topic "Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows Updates" by turingtest2. After that, my browsers (IE or Firefox) would only partially download the iTunes install file. So paused virus scanner and Windows Defender. and uninstalled iCloud. Eventually IE downloaded the "exe" file and I was able to run it (albeit with several false starts).
Now trying to reinstall iCloud.
thanks for your help.

Flash Player 11 Update for Windows Vista

I have automatic updates set up on my HP, which runs Windows Vista. When the auto-update came up, my McAfee anti-spyware also came up, asking if I wanted to run it [because it wasn't sure about it, I guess].
I said yes, clicked yes for the update (I believe it's for Flash Player 11) and as soon as it finished installation, McAfee told me it had found & deleted a trojan.
And then something for "Microsoft Vista Antispyware 2012" came up, which I know is an actual virus.
Has anyone else had this problem on a PC? Was it coincidence that it happened with the Flash update or was it attached to Flash?

Looking at the Adobe site, it looks like Flash Player 11 auto-update was incompatible with Vista. Which doesn't explain where the virus came from or why McAfee acted up.
Yes, the 64-bit installer only works with Windows 7.
The 64-bit Active X Flash Player needs to be removed and the 32-bit Flash Player for other browsers installed.
