ITunes isn't even running

it all starts with me trying to run iTunes and i would get this:
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes"
and so i try... i downloaded the newest version from the website and when trying to run the setup windows installer would give me this:
"the feature you are trying to use id on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to ry again, or enter an aternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes.msi" in the box below"
it gives me a browsing option to locate the source. when i did finally find an "iTunes.msi" and i click OK it gives me:
"the file C:/WINDOWS/Downloaded Installations/......./iTunes.msi is not a valid installation package for the product iTunes. Try to find the installation package "iTunes.msi" in a folder from which you can install iTunes"
even if i try browsing to the downloaded setup it won't work. when i finally run out of options and click on cancel it would show:
"the installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it"
and that's about it. This will show if i try to install, uninstall or repair... so nothing works... ANY IDEAS? please

I have a simular problem, after installing and accepting the agreement, i get a response that the iTunes folder is not available and can not be created. Is Apple going the way of Microsoft, where nothing seems to work?

  • ITunes won't even run

    I just bought an iPod Nano, installed everything, updated everything, and when I try to open iTunes, I can't even get it to run. I am working on a Windows XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Even starting from scratch with nothing but what came on the disc with my Nano. Help Please!!

    You may have already done this, but if not, you'll want to post this in another forum: iTunes for Windows. You'll find better help and advice there.

  • Slow down with iTunes 7 even if itunes isn't running?

    I've read a number of posts here and elsewhere that iTunes 7 can eat up system resources and slowdown your computer. However, I've been having problems even when iTunes isn't running. As in my copy of photoshop stutters and hangs a lot, even when doing something simple like painting on a large document, 3d renders stop or crash, even simple stuff like opening windows explorer seems to halt before springing back to life every once in awhile. And this happens even if I haven't opened iTunes, and I started noticing these issues at about the same time that I installed 7.0 Has anyone else noticed this? Or is the slowdown only occuring for you once you've launched itunes?

    It is hard to say what particular part of the Windows installation is having trouble. Keep in mind that any installation of software as complicated (CD burning, device drivers, network discovery, video playback, Internet connectivity) as iTunes is going to touch many parts of the installed OS. Any corruption in the places touched could be exacerbated by the update.
    iTunes 7.5 has been available for download from Apple for over 6 hours now, and so far it appears that you are the only person reporting this specific problem here. While it's still possible that iTunes is the culprit, it seems more likely that there is some other variable involved.
    You could start by isolating away user-specific files by testing the issue in a new Windows user. Import a few CDs into a pristine iTunes library in the default location (in your Music folder on the C: drive) and that eliminates a lot of possible causes.

  • My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?

    I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
    All else fails? Restore it.

  • With the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks

    update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

  • How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

    Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
    After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
    Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

  • I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage.  I am out of room, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB.

    I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage.  I am out of space, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB. I used to have about a dozen movies.  One day they were just gone and couldn't sync back on. I used to think it was a syncing problem, but it is storage.   I have done a hard restart.  I have deleted some junk from "memory".  I have tried to "clean up" my iPad, but I am missing a ton of space.  Is there a trash can that I need to empty?  Are my movies still stored but inaccessible?  I have read forum posts about an "other" category in stoarge which I don't see on my iPad.  Not sure what else to try.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    An "other" larger than aboutn 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • Installed 4.9... now iTunes won't even launch

    Okay.... here it is: I downloaded and installed 4.9 and now when I click on the iTunes shortcut on my desktop, iTunes won't even launch. In addition, my laptop won't even shut down properly now. I get a bizarre error message and it hangs for 4 or 5 minutes (despite the fact that I try to End Program over and over again). I have had to take the battery out to shut it down because of all this. More important, I can't access my iTunes!
    thanks,
    P.

    Try using the "Clean' method for uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. See Da Gohpa's link, toonz' link, as well as all the related links and activities provided below.
    You may first want to try a “Repair Install”:
    - Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panels -> Add or Remove Programs
    - Select iTunes, Select Change/Remove button, Select "Repair", Click OK.
    If that does not work, then read all the below and apply it to your situation:

    b Uninstalling iTunes will not erase your music files,
    or the two meta-data files iTunes uses to store your music info files (iTunes 4 Music Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml). However, it is
    i always
    a prudent idea to have backups of your music files on some external source (CD, DVD or External Hard Drive).
    b Prior to implementing the info in the links above,
    close ALL running programs. In addition, you
    b should
    i temporarily
    disable any TSR programs like firewalls, virus scanners, spy sweepers and the like. You will need to disable them both before uninstalling ANY software and/or before installing ANY software. Most of these TSR programs have System Tray Icons (usually located in the lower-right corner of your XP screen), that allow for an ‘exit’ or ‘quit’ or ‘shutdown’. Usually a single right-click on the icon will bring up a selection menu.
    These TSR programs can impede installation of some software or create conflicts later on during operation (or lack of operation) Some anecdotal reports suggest that iTunes 4.8 & 4.9 are affected. Based on the amount of success by folks here who have tried the Clean Install, this seems to be a good solution for a variety of iTunes operational ‘glitches’
    Please note that your TSR programs will all restart upon reboot. You will not be left unprotected. This also means that you need to remember to disable them when reinstalling iTunes after rebooting.
    b Also:
    You may still need to turn off the 'Fast User Switching' even if no one else is using the computer.
    ==>Start/Control Panel/User Accounts/Change the way users log on and off/ ==> remove the check mark from FUS.

  • Itunes 8.1 wont run in vista- data exectution prevention stops itunes has c

    itunes wont even run since i downloaded 8.1, i keep getting the message "itunes has stopped working", and "data execution prevention has closed itunes" how the **** do i get back to the previous version of itunes so i can use my ipod again??

    I just got off the phone with support. You will need to provide your nano or iPod serial number to get any help with a windows system ( which I have ). I indicated that I followed the entire path to get a good 8.1 install. That included a windows "remove" of the current stable install ( a mistake ). I will have to drive 1 hour to an apple store and show up with a blank CD to get a good copy of the 8.1 "exe" install file .

  • I updated my computer to 10.10.1 and now my photoshop isn't in my applications folder anymore. Even when I try to export photos from Lightroom, PS isn't even an option anymore. Not sure where it went or how to get it back! Thanks!

    Using 6-7 year old software that's no longer receiving updates & was never designed to run on 10.10 is asking for trouble.   That said, try re-installing PS and installing Java SE6
    Java for OS X 2014-001
    It might work.  But again it might not.
