ITunes and other apple-software | nothing's possible anymore

Hi,
I know there's been some discussion already on several issues with iTunes especially that also cover ONE of my problems but unfortunately the given strategies to resolve those probs didn't work out.
So I'd like to post my problem once more. Since I, unfortunately I can't really tell what I did, I think I did an Update via "Apple Software Update" an my PC crashed, I can't open up any Apple Software anymore. I can't open up iTunes - a message appears "that this action is only valid for products currently installed ". And the worst thing about this all is that I can't uninstall iTunes directly because there is no "uninstall information" and I can't (re)install iTunes or Quicktime or anything else because it is not possible for the installation-routine to uninstall the "old" versions neither...
An Idea: Is there any - let's say -hack to delete iTunes from my PC that the installation routine can be run correctly without trying to uninstall the old version of iTunes that isn't working anymore anyway?
I'd really appreciate some help because I'd like to use my new iPod that is just lying around for about three weeks now.....
Thanks in advance... biboff.
PS: Of course I will provide additional information if needed.

Dear Katrina,
thank you very much. Now iTunes is working again.... Sending many thanks to Redmond too... !! Before closing this thread as my problem is solved now, I'd like to update my experience with this MS tool "Windows Installer Clean Up Version 3" so the others users reading this thread might also be able to solve their probs.
So while first running this little "MS Install Clean Up" and deleting "iTunes", the iTunes Installation Routine broke up again afterwards, whilst installing QuickTime.
So I ran "MS Install Clean Up" again and deleted every Apple Product I could think of being connected to iTunes - so far I thought of "Apple Mobile Device Support", "Bonjour" and of course "QuickTime" since QuickTime-Installation was the drop-out of the Install Routine.
I hope I could add some additional information on this issue and again thank Katrina very much for her help. My question was answered and I am enjoying iTunes again at the time. I'm even thinking about switching over to Mac soon.... hopefully something like this doesn't happen on a mac. This even was written using SAFARI, so I'm almost there....
Thanx.

Quicktime and Other Apple Software Close Unexpectedly

After installing Quicktime 7.1.6 my whole computer started messing up. Every time I try to open Quicktime it unexpectedly closes before it gets a chance to open. This also happens with Itunes and Other Apple Software, even system preferences closes unexpectedly. However I can open and run photoshop with absolutely no problems. Is there a way to revert to 7.1.5 or a way to restore the operating system to a date before I installed the new version of Quicktime? I know you can do that on windows operating system.
thanks

I discuss by eMail with a developper of Graphic Converter and he confirm this problem
Really?
The latest version of GraphicConverter (5.9.5) runs perfectly with OS 10.4.9 and QT 7.1.6.
Not that GraphicConverter has anything to do with video.
It's a Quicktime crashes with .AVI corrupted files..
'AVI' can be many things. It is not a codec but a container, and if a file is corrupted you can't blame Quicktime for not opening it!
Try doing a bit of maintenance on your computers, guys.

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall does not touch your content. That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a backup in case of disasters.

Like iWeb, iMovie, And Staffs Like That?

As a hobbyist dual core Macbook Pro 13-1nch will do fine.
For professional work, you are better off with Macbook Pro 15-inch quad core i7..
iWeb is no more available from Apple. You may have to check Amzon for it.

How do you remove iTunes and other Apple products from my PC, manually?

I just bought a $250 5th-gen iPod. But I can't install iTunes.
A while back, I think I just deleted the program folder or something, or maybe the the uninstaller just somehow broke on its own. In any case, the program folder is gone and the uninstaller doesn't work.
Running the iTunes installer gives me the following error:
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 'iTunes.msi' in the box below.
I did a search and found the iTunes.msi file in a temp folder. I selected it in the installer to try to solve the problem, but I received another error message:
The file "C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Local Settings\Temp\IXP460.TMP\iTunes.msi" is not a valid installation package for the product iTunes. Try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes.
So, I uninstalled QuickTime and tried to manually remove every iTunes files and iTunes-related registry entry. No good.
When I run the iTunes installer now, it hangs\freezes when it gets to "Registering modules."
The only solution to the problem is a full manual uninstall.
I called Apple tech support and explained the problem, and they said that registry issues were a third-party problem, emailing me a tech support page I'd already read and suggesting I call Microsoft -- but oh, she said, make sure you don't tell them it's a problem with iTunes registry entries "or they'll refer you back to us."
Yes, because what the iTunes installer does to my PC is not a third-party issue.
I don't blame the tech support people, though, and I hope my post here doesn't lead to any of them being reprimanded.
Anyway, my request is simple: Someone, anyone, give me a list of every file and registry entry that Apple software adds to my computer, so I can remove it manually.

When I run the iTunes installer now, it hangs\freezes when it gets to "Registering modules."
hmmmmm. by any chance do you have SpyCatcher (or the version of GhostSurf platinum that contains SpyCatcher) on that PC?
if so, try uninstalling SpyCatcher altogether prior to the itunes install. if it goes through properly this time, launch itunes at least once prior to reinstalling SpyCatcher.
see:
iTunes 7 or later for Windows Installation stops responding while "registering modules"

Why does Apple make it so difficult to solve these problems?

Monetizing OS X and other Apple software tutorials on Youtube?

Hello community!
I have a howto video of OS X Lion up on Youtube that has reached almost 60,000 views and I plan to do lots more, because there often seem to be things that somebody hasn't done a video on and I simply like making howtos. Also, I'm a student, so any few extra bucks would be welcome.
Back on topic though, is it possible to monetize videos on Youtube that I have used OS X in to demonstrate how things are done?
I'm aware I must not allow the impression it's an official Apple video or endorsed by Apple, so beyond that, am I good to go?
And does this apply to all software Apple provides? I'd love sparing the forum asking this everytime I decide to record something new that might not be the base OS X install, but instead maybe an iPhoto tutorial or whathaveyou.
I tried searching the internet and the forums here, but to no avail.
Thanks a lot in advance folks!

This is my feeling, too, however I really don't want a bad Youtube account standing so I need something that I can show Youtube in the event the legality of my monetization gets questioned either by them or a 3rd party. (could be a troll, you know stuff like that is happening)
Thanks for the quick reply so far though, it's nice to know my feeling doesn't seem to be too off with what others estimate to be good to go.
And about "not using Apple logos or other copyrighted materials":
This is borderline impossible, as what I'm recording is basically going to show the Apple logo sooner or later (Menu Bar for example) and being a Youtube partner I'd love making a custom preview image for the video which would of course need to depict what I'm showing (e.g. OS X's logo) for obvious reasons.
Would that be okay?
I know I cannot use the logos as channel logo or anything, at least not the official ones. (Nobody could stop me from snapping a pic of a real apple and slapping that on my channel icon )
Again, thanks so far.

Installing 10.5.1 and other Apple Software makes my Boot Drive Invisible !

Hi There,
I need help,
after installing the leopard Update 10.5.1 my System booted just fine but after logging in I noticed that my boot drive WAS NOT visible in the finder sidebar or desktop...
I opened Tinkertool System and looked at my hard drive. And it had mysteriously been set to "INVISIBLE" in the HFS and Finder Attibutes.... After setting it to "Visible" again I could see it in the finder....
Can someone PLEASE explain this.....
Leopard is great but one has to do a BUNCH Of trouble shooting to get it to purr

Thanks 4 posting anyway
The installation instructions state "installed" not "active'
I don't believe Apple makes Tinkertool. You should have uninstalled it before upgrading.
I believe Tinkertool qualifies as a system modification.
The install instructions cleary say
Important: Read before installing
You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)

Safari opens only these forums and other Apple pages?

I had to remove the router from my iMac last night, so I set the Network panel to work with the DSL modem only. After doing so, Safari only connets and opens the Apple forums and other Apple pages, nothing else. Also, Sotware Update won't work.
I have reinstalled the router, and right now the Network panel indicates that the network is working, and that the computer is connected to the Internet via the router and modem. It does not matter how many times I "Create A new Location" and then apply it. Safari won't work with any of the bookmarks, except for the Apple bookmarks.
I restarted the computer from the (backup) external hard drive and ran Safari from there, and it works fine. However, I followed the advise of an Apple Technician on a chat, and was told that I could drag Safari from the external HD to the internal, and replace Safari with it. I did so, and then restarted from the internal HD, placed the Safari alias in the trash, created a new alias and put it in the Dock, and used Safari. But Safari is having the same problems.
It seems that both Safari, and Software Update follow the same path from the computer to the Internet, so i am trying to figure with files in the System have screwed-up.
Do you have any ideas of what the problem with Safari may be?

I will respond to myself to keep you informed of the progress with my problems and Safari/Software Update:
1. I created another account, but again there was no change with Safari nor with Software Update. I am certain that the problem is related to Software, perhaps Preferences and such.
2. However, since I don't know enough about OS X to mess around with it, I decided to start from the LaCie external HD as I did before, and proceeded to perform a "Smart Update" with SuperDuper. Before the Smart Update, I printed the last unread e-mail in the mailboxes, since I know that SuperDuper would erase those. I backed the iMac's HD a couple of days ago, before encountering all of these problems with Safari, so all the files and applications are fresh and in good order.
3. I am replaying to myself using Safari, after I restarted from the iMac's internal HD. Safari now works as well as ever, and I am certain that Sotfware Update will work fine, too.
I hope that Apple takes notes on the problems several of us are having with Safari. Just for the records: This version of Safari is the latest in Mac OS 10.4.2. A week or so ago, I upgraded OS 10.3.9 to OS 10.4, and had quite a lot of trouble with the Network panel. Regardless of the settings to use a router and modem, or jut the DSL modem, a connection to the server could not be established, and whenever such connection was possible, Safari would only open the Apple pages, and Software Update would not work.
I ended-up erasing the hard drive and reinstalling Mac OS 10.4 three more times, for a total of four, before I could get Safari and Software Update to work. On the last attempt, the only difference from the other attempts was that this time I didn't dare use Safari until every little update was installed by Software Update. Now, please note that the problems I had then were not exactly the same, since this time Network Diagnostics passed the connection test with flying colors. The previous times, a connection could not be established 99% of the time. But even though the problems were not exactly the same, I believe that whatever happens, to Safari, FireFox (FireFox was not working), and Software Update is related to whatever path these applications follow toward an Internet connection.

Spill water on my Iphone and I want to recover photos on my Ipad The pictures on the Iphone were not shared with other apple devices is it possible get my photos from the iCloud ?

Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup. You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

Problem with iTunes and/or updater software??

I just bought a brand new 30gig iPod video. I followed apple's "instructions" and installed iTunes and the iPod software off of the included cd. I then connected my iPod and it charged but itunes never recognized it. Windows can find it (it appears as an external disk drive in my computer and iPod in other places) but iTunes doesn't recognize it at all. I have tried resetting the iPod, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes/ipod software using the install cd, i have tried downloading the latest software from apples website and installing it that way, I have tried everything but restoring the ipod because the updater software won't even work. every time I try to use it, it just says "Service Error". I really have no idea what to do. The iPod seems to work fine, it turns on, turns off, windows seems to recognize it, but iTunes won't recognize the iPod and the iPod updater software doesn't seem to work at all. The last thing I am going to try is wiping my computer harddrive (it needs it for other reasons, not just this iPod problem) and starting completely fresh with nothing or very little installed besides iTunes and the iPod software.

The article posted in the first response is a great place to start. If that doesn't work, try these out as well:

Why does itunes and other media continue to play when i close the lid on my macbook pro 2011???

Hey, I am new to mac and still getting used to it (making the transition from windows), its amazing! Anyhow, I cannot figure out why my itunes and other media like youtube or a film on vlc player continues to play once the lid has been closed. I thought that when i close the lid the macbook should then sleep. It does everytime when there is nothing playing. The little white light on the bottom right hand corner of the book is on but music continues to play.
The sleep option always works. If I press the power button and choose the option sleep it does so etcc.
Is this normal and am I just being stupid or is there a problem??
I bought the laptop from ebay, its a macbook pro late 2011 17inch. I dont have apple support and might have to make a trip into London to the mac store however I was hoping someone can help me...
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Thanks if you can it is muc appreciated....!!

hey, thanks for the reply. I don't know to be perfectly honest. When I close the lid without any music playing it sleeps fine. How could I check?
So basically I pressed the power button and pressed sleep. The laptop turned off and the little white light turned on no problem. I did the same thing with closing the lid and it went to sleep no problem. (Can you confirm that when the little white light is on it means the laptop is sleeping)??.
I then had itunes playing and pressed the power button and when i pressed sleep the music paused then 6 seconds later it went to sleep. I then had itunes playing and closed the lid and the music kept on playing even though the white light was on.
What do you think jessejarvi?

My ipod touch 4th gen will not turn on, i have held the power and home buttons, i have plugged my ipod into itunes and tried again, yet nothing happens, what should i do?

My ipod touch 4th gen will not turn on, i have held the power and home buttons, i have plugged my ipod into itunes and tried again, yet nothing happens, what should i do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Tried to reinstall itunes and got apple application support not found. i have a folder on my desktop of apps removed during a refresh and all my apple stuff is in that folder.

Im running windows 8 on my desktop. i tried to reinstall itunes and when i open it i get the following message " Apple Application Support not found, Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes". I have a folder on my desktop that has files in it that says Apps removed during refresh and there is Apple files in there. Im guessing this could be a windows issue but Im not to good with computers. Any help would be great.

Hello agerveler,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like we may need to do a complete removal of iTunes and its components, followed by a reinstall. Follow the instructions in the following article to resolve your issue:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
