Itunes and windows installation prob...

I had an older version of itunes and tried to upgrade to 7.1. Everytime I try to download it, I click on the 'itunes setup' icon on my desktop and a 'windows installer' window pops up with a bunch of info that I don't understand. I uninstalled the old itunes and quicktime...any other suggestions?

with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.

next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

ITunes and Windows Installer Package - HELP!!!!

I've seen my question, which is also MY problem, that Windows Installer Package will not allow ITunes to download. I've read several posts on possible "fixes" in several forums, and have yet to resolve my problem. Anyone know how I can fix this? I would REALLY appreciate the help.

it says there is a problem with this windows installer package, a DLL required could not be run
With that one, even though you're getting a different error message, try the procedure from the following user tip:

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.

ITunes and Windows 8

Using it on a tablet that had Win 7 (and it ran fine). Switched to Windows 8 when RTM came out (tablet certified for Windows 8). When I rented a couple of movies after about 10 minutes of watching the movie would play horribly slow and the sound would cut out. Restarting iTunes fixes it for about another 10 minutes.
Any word on iTunes and Windows 8? Apple has had enought time to test (with the dev and consumer previews being out for several months and RTM was at least a month ago) and deploy a version ready for Windows 8 at launch date.....

Is there a fix for the incompatibility between itunes and Windows Vista?

I'm having a problem with itunes and Windows Vista. When I download itunes it disables my dvd drive. I have found a fix for that by deleting some registry items, but when I do that itunes is disabled. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

Hey Don,
What exactly happens after you install iTunes? Do you see an error message?

I've just spent nearly two nights on that and really hope that my ipod didn't break just because of itunes7! to stay in proper english and not get that angry in letters that I am in mind--- please so help me... my ipod is everything and im a music junkey! by the way... itunes itself works perfectly... if i not sync! how peculiar that getting back to itunes6 is impossible...i tried it... does it hav a spec reason, hah!
IBM, Pentium3 (666MHZ), FW(desire to fire), Ipod Click Wheel Windows XP 30cm

I tried formatting the ipod with windows! in the end of it windows says that it was not able to format the drive properly. then I click ok, open itunes, restore the ipod, try to sync again and have the problem that after a while the whole thing freezes... no more errors....just from the moment i disconnect the ipod manually from the cable, everything gets back to normal life again! I do not know what to do! do you guys think, my computer is too old or maybe my ipod's broke???
I'm despairing people...never had problems like that until itunes7! I tried as well to close all the other working programs with the task manager... doesn't change it!
Thx for the help!

My windows 7 computer will not detect my ipod since updating both itunes and windows. I've tried downloading them again and testing the ipod on a different computer which does detect it.

My Windows 7 laptop won't detect my iPod since the last update of iTunes and Windows. I've tried downloading them again. The apple device manager has an error message.

How can I resolve conflict between itunes and Windows 8.1

When downloading itunes to my laptop computer, using Windows 8.1 my email/network account will not work on that computer. It is fine on other devices such as ipad and Windows phone. I can also pick up emails on online on the same laptop. There appears to be a conflict between itunes and Windows 8.1

Please see Boot Camp for comments.

Computer says iPod is there, but iTunes and Windows won't recognize it

I've had a 60GB ipod photo for about 4 years and it has served me well. This morning the iPod froze in the middle of a song. I hit reset, and it came back blank - all the files were gone. When I got to work and hooked it up to my computer, iTunes and Windows can't recognize it, but I can find it in device manager - which means I couldn't do restore.
I hit reset a few more times, changed USB ports and, somewhat miraculously, the iPod came back, complete with all files. On the way home from work it happened again and I haven't been so lucky.
I forced it into disk mode and iTunes recognized it, but told me it was corrupt. I also received a computer sound card error - my sound card was busy, and an error stating that audio/video playback could be limited. I tried restore, but I received the unknown error. I'm using the latest version of iTunes and I'm all out of ideas.
Any suggestions or should I put this iPod to rest and save up to buy a new one?
Thanks

The most likely problem is that the hard drive in the iPod is becoming unreliable. It may be experiencing sticktion, which is friction that makes the spinning platter stick and the motor cannot get it spinning. The iPod is regularly spinning the hard drive up, to cache songs into memory, and then spinning it down, to save power. If the drive was not able to spin up when commanded (in the middle of a song), the iPod would seem to lock up. Later, bumping the iPod may make the hard drive spin again, so it seems to work again, at least for a while.
If this the the problem, the only way to fix it would be to replace the hard drive inside.
You might try reformatting the iPod using Windows, if you can get it to appear in a My Computer or Windows Explorer window. Use a full format instead of a quick format. If that process competes successfully, run iTunes and try using Restore again to install and initialize the iPod's software.
If formatting does not compete successfully, it may be time for that new iPod.
You can do some experimenting on the old iPod, if you're into such things. I have successfully installed a compact flash card (through an adapter), inside a 4th gen iPod as a replacement for the hard drive. It is only 4GB at the moment, but CF cards up to 16GB are getting relatively cheap, so I might get one of those and start using by old broken 4G iPod again, +now with shock-resistant energy-saving flash-based storage+.
