Itunes on my Windows XP after downloading ver. 10.5, starts & stops during playback

Yesterday I upgraded my itunes to 10.5. At first I couldn't upgrade because the old version wouldn't delete the old version to install 10.5. After much help from Dell, we finally got 10.5 to install but it stops & starts during playback several times during a song. How do I fix this?

The error message I receive does not identify the file or feature. I have tried to uninstall iTunes through Control Panel, but that also results in a similar error message.
If you're getting sschap's message when uninstalling iTunes, that usually narrows things down to trouble with the iTunes.msi.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes stops during playback and won't start until I restart the computer

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I just reformated my computer and placed all the updates and programs back onto my computer. I had iTunes on my computer before and I reinstalled it then upgraded it to version 7.3.2.6. Now I've been reintroducing music back into the library on a folder by folder method (drag and drop). Anyway, during review of the songs I will get a random issue where the iTunes just stops during playback. I have shut down the program and restarted it. I've also shut down the following programs at different times to see if it would help:
    iPodService, ITunes.exe (the program), iTunesHelper, and even taskmgr.exe. Nothing seems to help. When I restart the program I click on play (any song or playlist) and nothing happens. The only thing that I have found to help is rebooting my computer. Does anyone have any ideas?
    I've check the event logs and nothing is showing in there and other programs are working without an issues.
    Please help!

    Any suggestions on what this can be?
    A dead battery.  Buy a new one.

  • Issues with iTunes 9.2 not running after download.

    I have been trying to get iTunes 9.2 going since the 24th when I purchased my iPhone 4. I have had NO LUCK getting iTunes to properly run after downloading the flie.
    I have Vista 64 bit.
    When I download the file and attempt to run it, I get the error "Publisher could not be verified" I select run anyway and nothing happens.
    I have tried every suggestion made on this form
    I have-
    Tried to run as administrator
    Deleted temp folder in Users/Name
    Ran windows installer cleanup utility
    downloaded the file from firefox and IE
    It's very annoying because the 32 bit will run and install, but the 64 bit will not. Any suggestions?

    None of your software will install on any computer I own. I tried to download Safari and download iTunes through that browser to see if the results would be different, but after downloading it that file does NOTHING after being ran. It's so pathetic I can't even sync my iPhone 4 to my computer after having it since Thursday. Three different computers three different downloads with 2 different browsers.
    I'm getting ready to just box up this phone and return it, if I cant even sync it to iTunes, it's useless to me.
    If I download through Firefox, nothing happens when I run the executable.
    If I download it through Internet Explorer, I get the message that it is an invalid publisher, or publisher could not be identified.
    I have erased my temp folder, deleted browser history on both browsers, still nothing.
    I am running it in Administrator mode, I have done every suggestion that you have on your site and nothing works.

  • Trying to Reinstall iTunes: Can't find it after Download

    This morning I tried to update iTunes. It failed. I got a message to reinstall iTunes. I've removed iTunes from the computer and downloaded the installer but it does not appear in Downloads or Desktop. Where would it be?

    I have faced such kind of issue while downloading iTunes it says thank you for downloading tunes but it does not get downloaded not sure why that happens but you can download iTunes from "filehippo" just search for filehippo on google and go to www.filehippo.com and from there in the search box search for iTunes and download iTunes 32 bit or 64 bit according to your windows version. You can find windows version by right click on My Computer and then Properties.

  • Let ff auto delete file from c:windows\temp after download?

    Say you download a rar file. firefox builds the file first in C:\windows\temp as it download to completion. Then FF COPIES this file to the destination folder which could be on another drive. BUT FF never deletes this temp-file in c:windows\temp after copying. And you can NOT delete this file temp-file until you close FF. Deleting browser history temp files using ctrl-shift-del does not work.
    Why is this?
    Say I download many rar files at once. After each file completes firefox cCOPIES them to the destintaion directory. Again they go to another drive. BUT FF never deletes the temp-files form c:\windows\temp after completion of download and copying to the destintaion folder. UNLESS you close firefox.
    Meanwhile this can clog up my small SSD drive which is only 20GiB
    Need workaround please?

    OK you developers are such autistic a**holes. I just tried to manually delete the temp files FF makes when downloading files from c:\windows\temp. This did not free up space there's still the same amount of space left (163MB) on my SSD as before deleting the tempfiles form this dir. WTF is this?

  • Can't manage to close blank window left after download an xml file in IE6.

    hi All,
    I have a requirement where i have to open Xml type attachment in New blank window for download. I am using the following code for the same:
    window.open ("URL", "_blank", "location=no;scrollbars=1");
    The code works fine and allow me to download xml in new window. But after download the blank IE window remains which the user need to close manually. I want the blank window to be close after download finishes.
    Also, the problem is occurring because of the IE setting "Reuse window for launching shortcut" which is checked in our case. That is the reason i am using "_blank" for opening xml type attachment.
    Please help me in solving the same. Let me know if you need any further details.
    Thank you for the help.
    Regards,
    Tarun

    Are you talking about JavaScript?
    In that case you're wrong here, as this is a Java forum and JavaScript and Java are entirely different beasts (despite the similarity in name).
    Also: Why do you want to open a download in a new window? A download usually goes directly to a download dialog anyway and doesn't show any content in the window itself, so opening a download in a new window can do nothing but leave an empty window open.

    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.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • One of my podcasts disappears soon after download. How do I stop this?

    One of the podcasts I am subcribed to now disappears soon after downloading. When I sign onto Itunes again the same download starts. How do I revent this?

    If this is an iCloud account the Outbox only appears when sending an email, so if it is still trying I suppose it should be showing now (not sure though, hard to replicate this)
    What type of email account?

  • Video downloaded directly to iPhone stops during playback

    I downloaded a video from the iTunes store directly to my iPhone 3Gs. Now during playback, it stops
    at a particular point and will not continue playing. Of I try to drag the scrubber forward in the video, it snaps back to the point where it stopped. What could be the problem with this?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance,

    find the file in iTunes (you may need to sync it if you downloaded directly to the iPhone), then click on it, and then click on "file -> get info" on the menu bar. go to the "options" tab and see if the "end time" is something besides the actual end time of the file. that's the only thing i can think of that would cause this issue.

  • HT1923 I can´t reinstall itunes. I updated and after downloading the latest version and installing it the error message: "apple aplication support was not found. it is required to run itunes. uninstall and install again. Error 2

    I bought an iphone 4s. After plugging it via usb to my computer itunes demanded to update version to 10.3 or higher. I uninstalled itunes, downloaded latest version (11.0.2) and during installation process on "activating services" it shows error message: "installation failed, verify administrator priviliges" which i have because i sign in as my pc administrator. I click on ignore and it tells me itunes has been succesfully instaled but when i try to run it it shows the error message: "apple application support was not found. It is required to run itunes. Uninstall and install itunes again. (which i have done several times) error 2 (windows error 2)." Someone please help me with this problem. Thanks.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    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 AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • ITunes doesn't open, even after download of iTunes 7

    So I had iTunes 6.5 or whatever and it stopped working... Everytime I'd try to open it, it said "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." So I downloaded the new iTunes 7 and after installation it automatically opened and worked fine, but when I closed it and tried to open it again, it didn't work and said the same message. I've updated all my virus software and Windows Update... so I don't know what can be stopping it.
      Windows XP  

    Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
    'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
    'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
    'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
    Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
    Restarted Machine
    Reinstalled iTunes (which reinstalls Quicktime as well)
    Opend iTunes to make sure it worked (it did), then closed it.
    Copied all of the original files back over to their original locations.
    Restarted iTunes
    Everything appears to be back to normal (iPhone sync works properly as well)
    Hope this helps for anyone else seeking an answer!

  • ITunes won't install update after downloading Yosemite

    I downloaded Yosemite today and now my iTunes won't open because apparently the version I had doesn't work with Yosemite.  After I clicked "Install" for iTunes in the App Store (so I could get the latest version) it stays "paused" in the download process and won't resume the download.

    Hi, kdub5.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you can not update iTunes due to a .msi error.  I would recommend uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components as outlined in the first article below.  For any component that gives you the .msi error, go through the steps in the second article below.  
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when you remove Apple software in Windows
    Cheers,
