ITunes install problems -- no error messages

I believe my problem is unique, but if this has been brought up before, I apologize. Anyway, down to business:
A friend just bought an iPod nano and had problems installing iTunes, so I volunteered to help. Here's what happens:
1) I run the iTunes installer
2) the installer appears to be doing fine, I can even see the iTunes desktop shortcut appear
3) right before it should tell me "installation successful," the installer just disappears. The icon that was on the desktop a second ago is gone, and there is no trace of any iTunes files on the system. Here's the fun part: There are no error messages.
Also important:
The same thing happens with the iPod software updater installer.
The same things happen whether I am using the CD that came with the nano, or if I'm using freshly downloaded installers from Apple's website.
I am myself a Mac user, and am pretty clueless as to the common tips and tricks of windows, so please don't assume I know things. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ross

Alright, turning off the virus protection didn't do it.
Next on the list of things to try is:
1. Locate the original Windows XP Home Edition CD that came with your PC or the upgrade disc used to install Windows XP Home Edition.
2. Insert the disc into your PC and use it to begin reinstalling Windows
3. During installation, your computer will restart or you will be prompted to do so in order to continue.
4. After the computer restarts you'll see a dialog asking if you want to install Windows. Select the option to install Windows. A repair option will be presented.
5. Choose the option to repair an installation of Windows
6. After the repair is completed, your PC should restart.
7. Attempt to reinstall iTunes.
I poked at this a little bit, but after I got into the repair option, all I had was a blank command prompt, and that scares me.
Does anybody have more advice on how I can repair this installation of XP?
Thanks,
Ross

  • Final cut studio pro 6 install problems and error message

    Purchased a new macbook and am having trouble installing Final Cut Studio Pro 6- get this error message: You can't open the appliction FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported  - have never seen this before, any clues?

    The installer requires Rosetta to be present, but Lion doesn't include it anymore. You can try to install Rosetta from a Snow Leopard disc using the "Optional Installs". Note that this is not officially supported: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4769
    There have also been reports that Lion will break most plugins for FCS 2 and FCS 3.

    Hello Msvcr80.dll,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Best of luck,

  • Can't install iTunes 11 on Widows 8, 'iTunes has stopped working' error message

    Two months ago, I bought a new computer that uses Windows 8.  I was running iTunes 10.6 on it fine until today, when it crashed for some unknown reason.  Every time I've tried to open it again, I kept on getting a 'iTunes has stopped working' message.  I've uninstalled 10.6 and tried installing iTunes 11, but keep getting the same 'iTunes has stopped working' error message with no other details.  I've tried installing it as an administrator, but got same failed results.
    Any help?
    Thanks, Mike

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • I tried to install the new iTunes & I get an error message

    I tried to install the new iTunes & i got an error message & i have already deleted all apple related things & reinstalled them. Now a message that says something about verify my apple mobile device keeps coming up & i have no idea how to fix this problem.

    ... not likely to be a LSP thing, then.
    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

    Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

    Find out what that third party software the kext file belongs to and update or use the developers method to uninstall the third party software responsible for it.
    I suspect it's a iTunes extension perhaps?
    You also can use the manual method of Finder > Go > Computer and opening your drive, then your  System/Library/Extensions folder and looking for the file and moving it out onto the desktop, you will need to be in Admin user and use your password, then reboot to clear the random access memory. However this method doesn't remove the parent program you still need to do that.
    How to uninstall/install software on your Mac
    The kext file wasn't loaded, so it's not running, but removing it from the Extensions folder or uninstalling what put it there will solve your notification problem as that's all it appears to be.
