Itunes downloads but won't install at all

Hello, I had installed itunes in my PC and everything was OK.
Today I bought a new ipod nano, and when I connected it to the PC, itunes told me that it couldn't recognize the device (I cannot remember the exact words), although Windows did recognize it.
I searched in Apple support, and they said I needed to uninstall and reinstall itunes.
Well, I uninstalled all the Apple software (itunes, quicktime, apple mobile device support, bonjour, etc.). I have verified with the Windows Install Clean-Up Utility and nothing is left.
I downloaded the last itunes version from Apple, but whenever I execute the installation file, absolutely nothing happens. Windows just confirms if I want to execute the file, and after that, nothing. I have downloaded the installer several times, from different places but still the same. I have uninstalled, re-installed the Windows Installer, and still the same. I have cleaned all the Temp folders but it won't make any difference.
So, I tried to install it as Administrator, re-started and executed the installer...this time, although it does not install either, at least it throws out some kind of log file, which I am posting below.
If anyone has any idea, please help me, I've been trying to solve this ridiculous problem for many hours now.
Thank you very much in advance for any help you could provide me.
Best regards,
Ricardo

ITunes downloads, but won't install

I have recently been having issues with iTunes unexpectedly shutting down when I go to play certain videos. My first solution was to reinstall iTunes. I am able to download the iTunes install package, and I am able to navigate through most of the installation process, except for the actual installation. On the screen where you select to install, it has iTunes grayed out with "Skip" under the Action column. What am I doing wrong, or how should I resolve this?

Mac OS X update downloads but won't install

When I try to update Mac OS X combined update 10.7.4 on MBP, it downloads but won't install. I get a message that says it couldn't expand and may be corrupted. This has happened multiple times now.
I thought it might be due to lack of space on the hard drive so i cleared some space (there's now at least 49GB space) and it still won't work. I also have updates for Motion Supplemental Control and Final Cut Pro X supplemental that do the same. Tried doing it one by one, and tried downloading myself but the problem seems to be the expanding installing not the downloading.
Anyone else had this problem and solved it??

You may have a permissions issue that's preventing access to the downloaded files.
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities and click the "Repair Disk Permissions" option.
Once complete, try installing the update again.

Skype version 4.6 downloaded but won't install on my iPhone 5

It was an update notification that I accepted for download. It dowloaded, but it is stuck on"installing"

HT1338 Itunes 11 & Mac OS X 10.7 downloaded, but won't install. I get message "folder cannot be created"

I've downloaded updates for iTunes & Mac OS X 10.7. But they won't install.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The latest iTunes version is 11.0.1 version. 11.0.2 does not exist. Have you tried opening Apple menu > Software Update and install iTunes 11.0.1? If it doesn't show up, you have already iTunes 11.0.1

ITunes downloaded but won't open

Got new iPod yesterday. Downloaded iTunes successfully (already had QTime) but it won't open. Have tried running virus scanner & AdAware, updated browser and checked all browser and audio settings. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and QuickTime SEVEN times, but still can't launch iTunes. All other software functioning normally. iPod unit itself seems to work--but, of course, no music on it yet. Have spent 5.5 hours going through every suggestion on this site, but nothing helps; all settings seem to be correct. Cannot find any contact info for APPLE!!!! Extremely frustrated. Anyone have suggestions?

I spent about 8 hrs on this yesterday (Thanks Apple). I did get it to work though, here is what I did:
I was able to get Itunes to work
Posted: Dec 26, 2006 6:34 PM Reply Email
I did all the things everyone suggested but no luck.
The way I made it work: I removed Itunes and quicktime as directed in other threads via the control panel. Then I did a search of the root directory for anything with itune in it (itune.), I then deleted those files. I did the same thing for quicktime. After deleting the files I emptied the recycle bin, rebooted and then reinstalled Itunes. I did not install to the default directory (C:\program files\Itunes), I put Itunes on the root (C:\Itunes).I really don't know if it was stupid luck or if it was the correct thing to do but it worked for me? Could be that just putting it on the root C: did the trick?
There were some quick time files that I couldn't delete.
There were also some itune files that I couldn't delete until I went to the directory and deleted the whole directory, the folders had long names with both letters and numbers.
This was for my duaghters new Ipod, I am going to stick with my Zen.

Logic Pro X additional content will download but won't install

Hi,
I have Logic Pro X (10.0.1) installed on my 2012 Macbook Pro i7 2.6Ghz 8Gb Ram. I am able download the addition content but now just hangs & it has only installed the producer patches, surrond reverbs, garage band 11 sounds & instruments & the jam packs which I believe were there from my Logic Pro 9.
I have read support forum threads where peiople have downloaded it in smaller sections 1 or 2GB at a time with success, I have tried this & in smaller sections with no success.....it just still hangs saying "installing Orchestra" or whatever section I'm trying to install.
Can anyone help?
I went through **** to install the program itself as the initial installion just hung too on the "Essential Sounds and Instruments for Logic Pro & Mainstage", I finally installed after getting the content download link from a support thread.
Apple support is s***, I emailed about them about the download (after spending my £139.99) only to wait 24 hours for them to say delete it & try again (like we wouldn't have though of & done that already). After repling to say that & waiting another 24 hours they said here is an email address to our Tech support or a premium number to call WFT!!!!
Now the additional content won't install, between my Macbook Pro & Logic Pro X the money I've spent - Apple are taking the ****.
Please can some one help?
Thanks

Install on my Core2Duo 17" MacBook Pro went flawlessly, but install on my 8 Core Mac Pro suffered this problem. Many thanks for the solution Don, it worked for me ;-)
I am trying hard to supress an ironic chuckle though, reading other posts in this thread .... suggesting that people should call Apple Tech Support and expressing incredulity that people weren't doing this as their first option.
Well I can say say that after several calls to Apple Tech Support, amounting to several hours on the phone, and well over an hour on the phone with them today, I was informed that this problem is a known bug, and that Apple are working on a solution. They couldn't tell me what the bug is, what machines are affected, or what else might trigger it, or when a bug release might be due.
Their troubleshooting steps basically involved various reboots, repairing disc permissions, reseting the user home directory via terminal, booting up in recovery mode (but not safe mode as per this solution) trashing various preferences files, and, as a final step, uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch.
Only when all that failed was I told that there is a known bug that Apple are working on.
I came here to see what the community was saying, as the Tech Support guy did say there was likely to be some info on the forums. Lo and behold, a solution is posted and it works.
Why are Apple's Tech Support (in the UK at least) not aware of this?
Oh well, at least I'm up and running on my Mac Pro now.
Thanks again Don,
Cheers,
Nigel

Adobe acrobat downloads but won't install

I have downloaded a trial version of Acrobat repeatedly -- but after it shows the download is complete, it won't install. I have tried this on Firefox, Chrome, and IE -- same result with all 3 browsers. Any suggestions?

what file (name and extension) did you download and what's the file size shown on your hd?
also, what are you clicking or doing and what do you see?

CS5.5 downloaded but won't install

I have been using the trial version of InDesign and Photoshop, and now have purchased CS5.5 Creative Standard.
I downloaded the Akamai file and it took about 1 hour which seemed right.
I've got the .dmg file on my computer, but when I double-click it says "The following disk images couldn't be opened. CS5.5 Design Standard Not Recognised".
It appears to have downloaded correctly. The file is 3.16GB but it's an image file and just won't open.
I'm not sure what to do now.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Claire

Thanks,
We have downloaded it again, this time through the "alternate" download, instead of Akamai, and again it says "DesignStandard_CS5_5_Not Recognised"
When I look at the .dmg file, it still says the kind is a "Disk Image". To me that says it's not a program or a file, its just an image...... Is this correct?
I still don't know what to do. InDesign and Photoshop are working, I just put the serial numbers in and they continue to work. It's Acrobat and the other programs that come with Creative Suite that I can't install at all.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks.

Itunes downloaded but won't play

I purchased 4 songs. I previewed all of them, my speakers are working, but I can't hear them in itunes and they won't let me download them to my ipod, it's the 5th generation black one

Hello Hannah and anyone else who has this problem. I had the same issue and it was very annoying, because I was also told it was an authorization issue. So I deauthorized and reauthorized multiple times, restarted my computer, tried to play in SD instead of HD, set the settings to 32bit and all that. Sadly but fortunately it was just a small issue. Go to Finder, click on go to folder and type "/Users/Shared/SC Info"
Make sure you change the folder view to column view. You can do this by clicking the 3rd tab that looks like 4 rectangles side by side on the menu bar of that window. You will see a folder called SC Info. Trash that and restart your computer. Then... Deathorize and Re-Authorize your itunes and you will be good to go.
Here is the link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389?viewlocale=en_US
The link might look unrelated to the issue, because it does not specifically come up when Googling or searching support for this error.
BTW AppleCare gave me this information. They were awesome because they continued to call me and update me on their efforts to solve the issue. The engineers ultimately figured it out and the customer care person called me and walked me through it.
I hope this works for you all.

IOS8.02 downloaded but won't install

New software won't install on my iPhone 5 because it is unable to verify because I'm not connected to the internet.... which I am, and using Safari!
I've found other threads about this but the "resetting" suggested doesn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do? Is it anything to do with updating from iOS 7.1 (I didn't install anything after that).
Thanks for any suggestions, this is driving me bonkers!!

Hi J Breel
That's what worked for me. It downloaded all 900+ Mb using wi-fi, but would not verify when I went to install. Said I wasn't on the internet (but checked using Safari and I was!). I switched the wi-fi off on the phone after many attempts, and tried using 4G only.... it worked immediately. I don't think it was a coincidence!
I was at work and maybe our wifi network had some weird setting that wouldn't allow verification.... no idea really, but give it a go, nothing to lose! Make sure you download on wifi though..... it's a big file for 3G!
Good luck!

Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open. It says "Itunes has stopped working". I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working. Any tips or advice on what to try?

If that doesn't solve things then 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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Still trying to install iOS 5.1.1. before upgrading to iOS 6. It's downloaded but won't install. Message: "An error occurred installing iOS 5.1.1" but no further message.

Ever since iOS 5.1.1 came out, I have been trying to install it to my iPad 2. It is downloaded but I get the "Unable to Install Update" screen which says, "An error occurred installing iOS 5.1.1" but no other information is provided. Do I have to do a complete restore to get this to install?
