Itunes doesn't install

itunes is not installing, the following message appears all the time "the administrator has set up the system so that it doesn't allow this installation". I m the bloddy administrator, i tried to remove all the protection of my computer, everything, it still doesn't work. i redownloaded itunes three times and it doesn't change anything. Please, please help me, it's driving me crazy!!!!!

Hi,
I'm assuming that you are running Windows XP as indicated in your information on the post.
Check your system requirements first:
Click on Start, right click on My Computer, and click Properties.
If it is Windows XP ensure it is running Service Pack 2.
If not, go to www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx to update.
If so, continue...
Open your Control Panel and go into Add/Remove Programs
Remove any and all of the following:
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
iTunes
iPod for Windows
QuickTime
Then, go here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Scroll to the gray box, where it says Contents of the ReadMe.txt file. Above that, there's a link to download the installer package. Click on that link, and download and install the utility. Afterwards, open it up (Start > All Programs > Windows Installer Clean Up). If you see any of those same programs listed, click on it, and click Remove. Then, restart the computer.
Retry the iTunes download:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Good luck,

hi
the first time i installed itunes was when i had vista it installed without any errors but when i UPGRADED to windows 7 i didn't use itunes for about a month and when i clicked on it after 3 seconds my laptop froze (as in: can't move mouse,and my laptop doesn't respond when i press the windows key in the keyboard and my slide show(gadget)stopped and all the "froze" in my post mean the same thing)and when uninstalling/installing, it froze on "registering itunes automation server" so i used windows install clean up to uninstall it and it was successful so i downloaded the latest itunes (9.2.1.5) and when installing it froze in "registering itunes automation server" and i had to do a force restart and after i force restart the itunes folder in program files was installed so i clicked on itunes.exe but it froze my laptop but then i saw another topic about someone having the same problem(Click)i did everything what the link says and it still froze on "registering itunes..." but after i force restarted and clicked on itunes.exe in program files it worked.(Now here's the problem)when i start itunes it says "the software required for communicationg with ipods amd mobile phones was not installed successffully" (the problem is that i am getting an iphone 4 after 2 weeks) so i ran the installer and installed everything except itunes and quicktime (because they were already installed) and when running itunes again it still tells me that "the software required for communicationg with ipods and mobile phones was not installed successffully" but itunes works perfectly after pressing ok.oh and itunes does not appear in control panel and windows install clean up,so can any one help me fix it.

ITunes doesn't install on Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi everyone.
I have tried to install iTunes on my Windows but I just can't be sucessful. After the installation process, I get the message that the program was correctly installed, but then I don't have the program, it wasn't installed. I get no errors, iTunes just doesn't install, but says it was installed.
I have searched about this problem but didn't find anything like that.
Does someone have any idea? My Windows is 7, Home Premium.
Thanks.

I've downloaded the iTunes installation file and tried to install or repair 3 times but keep getting a message that a required component is not installed (-45075).
Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

ITunes version 11.0.2.26 doesn't install

The latest update to iTunes doesn't install correctly. After the update ran, I received error -42404 and couldn't connect to my AppleTV. I followed the instructions and removed and reinstalled. Now I get an error that AVFoundationCF.dll cannot be found and iTunes won't startup.
I believe before this update I was running the 32 bit version of iTunes. Originally I could not get the 64 bit version to work, the 32 bit version worked fine. Now it seems to want to replace the 32 bit version with 64 bit version.
Any suggestions?

You can try to completely uninstall iTunes from your PC, remove your preferences (remember to backup your data) and then install the latest version: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
It should fix it but again, backup your content and settings first!

Tried to install newest itunes, crashed during install, and now crashes my computer every time i try to uninstall. Itunes doesn't show up in the Add/remove prog list at all. tried to roll back over a month, still crashing.

So I tried to update to the newest Itunes. It locked up my computer part way thru the install. Black screen, computer turned itself off. Now anytime i try to do anything with Itunes it shuts my computer down. I can start up fine in safe mode but when i try to uninstall from there, Itunes doesn't exist. the other apple programs do, but no itunes. when i try to uninstall the other programs in safe mode it tells me it can't because the windows installer isn't loaded. I have system restored to over a month ago and itunes still doesn't show up in add/remove programs. however, i can open itunes. it just tells me a file didn't get installed and to uninstall and reinstall. So, how do i remove a progam that doesn't think it exists and crashes my computer when i try to do anything related to it??? I'm out of ideas. running windows vista.

I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer.

Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

I just installed update version 11.1.4.62. Now Itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad. My wife just installed the same version with the same result. The problem is clearly a problem with itunes. What's wrong with itunes?

I was running the previous version of itunes and it worked perfectly. I just installed the latest version of itunes (version 11.1.4.62) and restarted the PC and now itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or my ipad. I'm running Windows 8.1 on my pc. I tried diagnostics to no avail. The diagnostic didn't recognize either device. As the directions advised, I closed itunes, disconnected the devices and stopped and restarted the apple mobile device service, That didn't work either. My wife, who also has Windows 8.1, has the same problem. She installed the new version and it doesn't recognize her devices.
Until now, itunes has been totally reliable. I am convinced the problem is with itunes. Where do I go from here?

I resolved the issue by doing the following:
1. Uninstall iTunes and every Apple application (device support and such).
2. Uninstall bonjour.
3. Reboot.
4. Go to Apple and install iTunes.
It worked. When I opened iTunes (after reinstalling) it recognized all my devices, music and video.

"Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install with iTunes

When I install iTunes 11.3 on my pc "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install.
The installer installs
Apple Application Support
Apple Software Update
Bonjour
iTunes
But it doesn't install "Apple Mobile Device Support"
My OS is "Windows 8.1 64bit"
i have ESET Smart Security installed on my PC but when i want to install itunes i disable it .
i removed and installed itunes completely several times but it didn't help !
sb help me pls !!!!

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 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.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.

Itunes doesn't recognize iphone sim card after installing io5

I sent hours trying to upgrade my Iphone 3gs to io5 and now Itunes doesn't recognize the phone sim card, I only have a message saying 'There is no sim card in the Iphone you are trying to activate'. Iphone is no longer under warranty, so I don't know what to do if doesn't work any more.
Any advice very welcome Thank you!

Same problem with my 3GS :
Impossible to activate IOS 5 because itunes say "sorry there is no sim inside"...
I tried everything and the problem is found on many forum. many people can not activate their iPhone after installing the update.

I have a 4th gen. ipod touch. It has software 4.2.1 and itunes always tells me I need to update to ios 6. I always click download and install. After the download is complete, nothing happens. It doesn't install on its own. Thanks,

Are you sure it is a 4G iPod? Does it have a camera?

Since i installed windows 7 itunes doesn't recognise my ipod touch anymore. windows shows it as a digital camera

I just installed windows 7 because my computer was infected by a virus. Before i had windows vista. Now when i try to connect my ipod with the latest version of itunes, itunes doesn't recognise it anymore.
Windows recognises the ipod touch only as a digitalcamera.
I already shut down my firewall for every apple software product i had on my pc. And i updated itunes already.

Have you tried here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod. The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked. I was very grateful.
Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem. The same backup to corrupt file was the message. The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error.
When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy. Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat. Any thoughts about doing the following?
1) creating a cloud backup
2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
This is the next thing on my list.

ITunes doesn't work after I installed it for my new iPod video

Hi,
This is my problem:
When I connect my iPod video to my computer( windowsXP) iTunes doesn't open up. If I start iTunes manually it's says this error:(normally in dutch) The needed software for communication with iPod isn't installed properly. Plz install again, so the software on iPod can be installed.
So I reinstall iTunes, but this error still shows up.+ When I check on ITunes in one of the menus, it says: no iPod connected, but my iPod is connected to my computer.
Can anyone find an explanation for this?

HT1386 I installed Snow Leopard and have the latest version of iTunes. However, when I connect my iPhone, it charges and iPhoto opens, but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize the iPhone. It simply doesn't appear in the left column. What gives?

I reinstalled the current version of iTunes, 8.2.1.
Current version?? Did this post appear out of a time warp? The current version is 10.7!
