ITunes installation stalls and won't finish

When trying to install the latest iTunes it stalls about 4 bars from the end, and I can't say what it is stalling on because the Status of the install is blank.
I have done everything to delete all of iTunes/Quicktime/Bonjour/etc and the program and Windows files and then tried again, but no luck, the installation continues to hang.
I need to get this fixed because I am getting an iPhone next week and need to be able to access iTunes, so any help is much appreciated.

The exact thing happened me last night. I was updating my iTunes software with a download from the Apple site. I tried three times and it stopped at the same place each time.
Could this have something to do with virus detection or spyware detection software? Would turning one or both off help?
Thanks.

  • Download freezes in iTunes on iPhone and won't finish downloading album

    I purchased a full album on my iPhone today for the first time. Normally I purchase all music through my MacBook and transfer it to the iPhone as necessary. But today I got the whim to download a new album from my iPhone and it downloaded the first song without a problem. It seemed to download the second song without a problem but it's stuck on "Finishing..." and has been for several minutes now.

    It's been a couple of hours since your post, did it ever clear?

  • TS1424 My film I rented from iTunes has frozen half way through downloading and won't finish downloading, any ideas?

    TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
    another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

  • HT1766 back up os 6.1.2 stalls and won't back up,

    back on os 6.1.2 stalls and won't back up, also won't recognize photos to import to iphoto after this download

    You cannot go back. Downgrading is not supported by Apple.
    Note: iOS 6.1.4 was only for the iPhone 5.
    Have a look here... for iOS 7 tips...

    ALSO...
    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    And try a Reset all settings ...
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
    If the issue persists...

  • Tried to download us calendar.  But it stopped and won't finish downloading! Can I have help please?

    Tried to download us calendar to my iPad & iPhone.  But it stopped and won't finish downloading! Can I have help please?
    I have downloaded Japanese calendar to my calendar already.  Can't I download more than one holiday calendar?

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Mac Pro gets stuck on the grey screen and won't finish booting

    I have a Mac Pro 1, 1 recently (successfully) upgraded to snow leopard that gets stuck on the grey screen with the spinning rainbow cursor (after the apple logo and brief blue screen) and won't finish booting up. This happened after my computer froze up and I had to force quit.  I checked out the forums and I tried all the all the suggestions (like disconnecting peripherals) and appropriate disk utilities, saw no errors with the HD reported, and had no trouble doing a safe boot  (everything works o.k. there) or starting up from the software disk to perform the repairs.  I did notice that during the repair permissions command, it gets stuck in the last few minutes, the CD starts to chug along, and everything freezes and I have to force quit.  This happens every time I try it.  I eventually backed everything up, erased the HD and reinstalled the OS, reset PRAM and NVRAM, but I'm still getting the grey screen on restart.  Tech tool deluxe reports a "fail" on the video RAM, but everything else seems to check out.  Could it be a graphics card issue?   I did notice some funky visual glitches occurring prior to the breakdown.  Any other ideas?

    I wouldn't trust Apple Disk Utility to do a hard drive repair, but I would go with TechTool Pro 5/6 if you have that instead of Disk Warrior from Alsoft.
    Clone the drive, though you should have some bootable backup clones already; repair the clone; then boot and work from that drive. Always have a working copy of the system.
    And off load all your data to other drives.

  • After the update iTunes keeps crashing and won't play any of my music and keeps restarting my phone.

    After the update iTunes keeps crashing and won't play any of my music and keeps restarting my phone.
    Anyone else have this problem and resolved it?
    Thank you!

    Well, I hadn't rebooted after the 7.1.1 upgrade, but obviously I had to restart iTunes. After I rebooted my iBook iTunes worked... Maybe the 7.1.1 update should be marked with a must reboot?

  • I have burned to my external blu ray burner 3 times, but twice ended up with glitches in the project. now it stops at 59% and won't finish sharing. How do I get it to finish sharing?

    I have burned to my external blu ray burner 3 times, but twice ended up with glitches in the project. now it stops at 59% and won't finish sharing. How do I get it to finish sharing?

    It's a complex project and there are a lot of possibilities. Among them is the length; there are a number of reports of projects that are approaching 2 hours failing to burn.
    If it's a question of jarring Create Disk into action, one thing that has worked for some users is simply to click on and the Apply button (s) in the Settings pane of the Blu Ray Share window and then hitting Cancel. This can be tested by duplicating your project and selecting a tiny section of your sequence and exporting. Change the Output Device to Hard Drive and see whether Create Disk successfully writes a disk image.
    You can also  check that a specific clip isn't rendering properly. Since the process got to 59%, it may just mean that the burn couldn't be initiated by Create Disk – or it may indicate a problem with a clip toward end of your sequence. (If you can check the log, there may be something useful in there.)
    Use the duplicated project and this time set a range for the last 30 minutes or so of the project and export it, using the Blu Ray destination. Again, set Output Device to HD and see whether it will complete.
    Good luck.

  • I have sync my ipad touch, and asked to restore it.  It is stuck and won't finish

    I have sync/my ipad touch, and then asked it to restore.  It is stuck and won't finish.

    At what stage of the restore process did it freeze?

  • My iTunes hates me and won't upgrade or uninstall??

    So I went to upgrade my itunes the other day because my itunes store hasn't been working. Every time I start the upgrade it downloads something then says run or open file so I click run then a box pops up that says repair or remove. So I click repair then it loads some stuff then it says:
    Error writing to file C:\Program
    Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\iTunes.dll Verify that you have access to that directory.
    So then I click Retry and it doesn't work so then I click cancel and it doesn't work. So I got mad and removed the link off my desktop. Then I went to my computer and tried to uninstall it, and it won't even let me do that! It does the same exact thing. I have noooooo idea what to do.

    Presumably you are using an account with admisitrator rights.
    Was the error number 2330 by any chance?
    Anyway as a first step try running a disk check. In XP, you would go to My computer, then right click on the c: drive and select Properties>Tools>>Error Checking.
    The check takes place when you next restart your computer and can take a while.
    I am not sure if it is the same in Vista.
    Anyway once you have done that, try the following for cleanup and reinstall:
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    Vista
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
    If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • ITunes keeps crashing and won't let me update to ios 5 + many more problems with iTunes

    Here is alist of all my problems:
    Whenever I try and sync my iPhone     to my computer it doesn’t work and then my iTunes crashes, there are no     error messages it just freezes and crashes.
    After I have done this my iTunes     doesn’t even open and crashes strait away.
    My iTunes also crashes     sometimes when I am just trying to move from (for example) music to     movies.
    My iTunes also refuses to     access iTunes store (no errors it just doesn’t work).
    Sometimes I can get past the     backup issue by cancelling the back up and letting it sync, but no it won’t     even let me do that it freezes and crashes before it can even transfer my purchases.    
    All thishappens if I can even open up my iTunes.
    I amcurrently running ios 4.3.4 as I can even update to ios 5 I am running (tryingto) iTunes 10.5.
    I have trieduninstalling and reinstalling iTunes about a 1000 time and it hasn’t doneanything (done as instructed on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923). I havebeen trough tones of pages on the community and on the other support pages thatapple has but I have found no answers. I have also tried to install an olderversion of iTunes but it just comes up with an error message saying all myfiles are configured to iTunes 10.5 and noting work on that either.
    This hasbeen going on for ages and I know there is a lot to deal with in this post butplease if anyone has any ideas, knows, or has dealt with any of the above please help.
    Thank you

    I am having the same problem. I'm wanting to update to iOS 7, the 'Update Now' button is available, but it says I can't download due to no Internet connection. I DO have an Internet connection, but either way it won't let me update. Help!

  • Itunes Freezes ,slow and won't allow search

    When i start itunes it freezes momentarily, is very slow and won't allow me to put more than two letters in Search box before freezing. Everything else runs on pc fine.
    Anybody any ideas? Using 10.2.1.1 but I've installed different versions but same problems.
    Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me nuts!

    Good old fashioned XP. I run it on other pc's with XP with no problems. Tried running various old versions but no luck. I'm sure it must be blindingly obvious to somebody who knows what they're doing!
