  • How do I fix Registry Errors that occured during Install of iTunes latest version?

    Hardware/Software info:
    Acer Aspire lapton 5535-5050
    Vista Home premium OS
    2 GB Ram
    250 GB Sata HDrive
    AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core QL-64 bit processor
    I recently installed the latest version of iTunes vers. 11.x per the iTunes update process. Afterwards
    itune 11 worked ok aside from the totally different startup or Store page looking so different.  Later
    I tried to burn a disc from my current iTunes Library and found out my CdRom drive had been disabled
    due to registry errors during the iTunes update process.  The end result was to get my CdRom drive
    back in operation, I had to due a System Restore (using Vista home premium) back to a date before
    the iTunes update.
    It was a successful Restore and my CdRom drive is now working again but iTunes will no longer run
    due to missing files not found during attempts to start iTunes.  It tells me to reinstall iTunes again.
    1. Do I Uninstall the partial copy of iTunes listed on my Program list? (appears to iTunes 10.07.21)
       first or just do an install of iTunes 11.x from the Apple iTunes web site?
    2. What is the risk of the new iTunes causing Windows registry errors and disabling my CdRom again?
    3. What is the risk of other registry errors from the new version of iTunes?
    Brad

    I had the same problem after installing version 11, my CD/DVD drive was disabled/uninstalled completely.
    I restored version 10.7 to get my iTunes functionality back using a backup i created before the upgrade.
    Unfortunately, not being a PC wiz, I had to contact DELL support to fix the problem as a simple reinstall of the drivers failed to fix the problem. I am fortunate to still have hardware support as the PC is only 7 months old. DELL thankfully were fully aware of the problem and deleted the "Upper & Lower Filters" from my registry ("how to" available from a Google search for anyone confident enough to do this alone).
    I still get the request to reinstall iTunes software on starting itunes, but for now I just click OK and move on and iTunes works fine (using version 10.7). I will probably reinstall 10.7 after doing another backup, but for now I don't need to and can do without the added grief.
    DELL said this was a common problem that is easily fixed, but as yet are unaware of any further issues.
    I have an Dell Inspiron 620, running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS with 6GB Ram
    Hope this helps, if nothing more than assuring you that you are not alone.

  • Registry Error installing iTunes 6

    Hello,
    I first posted a message in another topic but it seems my problem is different, so I post a new topic to go on with my problem
    My original Pb
    Before having the -1603 error, I had, for each of the both installs (QT & itunes), a registry error "impossible to open the HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes....."
    I did all was possible, at least to me(delete temp files, uninstall all QT & itunes applications, run Windows Installer Cleaner ...), and I finally manage to install QT V7 but the error still remains for itunes !
    Like Paul, I can't find the select Local Users and Groups under
    Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > System Tools
    I tried the "%windir%\registration" solution but after opening the folder , I don't know what to do !!??!!
    I've got an empty "CRMLog" folder, a "{02D4B3F1-FD88-11D1-960D-00805FC79235}.{E6259674-0B1E-4459-893A-8BC3F8707995}. crmlog file, a R00000000000b and a R00000000000c files.
    What should I try with those files, pleeeeaaaase ? Helpppp : I'm not THAT good !
    PS A may be useful precision : this occurs with an old version of itunes (V5, I think)
    PS2 : in the register at "HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda\OpenWithProgids", I have a iTunes.cdda file --> should I try and delete it ?

    hi Marie!
    Before having the -1603 error, I had, for each of the both installs (QT & itunes), a registry error "impossible to open the HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes....."
    just checking on some things here before we proceed. (it's possible that you might have a slightly different problem from the lads.)
    are you getting error message numbers with those messages? are they 1402s or 1406s? or are they just "naked" errors?
    (this is going to sound like a broken record) are you running Norton Internet Security 2005? we've had some reports of that refusing to let people edit registry keys in this sort of context ...
    I can now answer (sorry for my late answer)
    the message "impossible to open the HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes....." is, as you said it, a naked error without any number.
    And, no, I'm not running Norton Internet Security (Norton is a bad beast!)
    By the way, I've deleted the iTunes.cdda file in the HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda\OpenWithProgids file but it didn't resolved the problem
    Thank you for your concern

    Hello, it's me again ...
    I red some other topics and find one telling to try Adam's solution in the topic "Quicktime 7 (Resolution for some install / permission error)"
    and it worked !!!!!
    Thanks for everythings

  • I just upgraded to relaese to release 11.  My PC runs Windows 7.  itunes will not start.  I have run Norton to fix the registry errors and have rerated my PC twice.  No luck.  Can anyone provided a suggested solution?

    This solved everything, after uninstalling IObit Advanced SystemCare iTunes would open with Bonjour enabled however iTunes wouldn't pick up the iPhone device. I did some more digging and a few of their other applications had been installed including Game Booster. Uninstalling that put everything back to normal.
    I have been given a new device by Apple who were really helpful and the guys have neever seen the docking connector disabling before. Coinsidence?
    Anyway in case this helps other people these were the symptoms (might help with searches):
    - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    - iTunes 10 wouldn't open originally, just egg timer then nothing yet processes all started
    - Docking connector died on the device, wouldn't even trigger a standard USB connection or light up the device
    - Uninstalling iTunes etc didn't change anything
    - Disabling Bonjour worked but iTunes extremely unstable, seems frozen when syncing and the sync itself, especially with app transfer, was extremely slow and the other buttons were unresponsive after clicking for two minutes before screen would change
    Have sent feedback to IObit about this to see if there isn't something that can be done.
    Fantastic assistance and an incredible spot from b noir. If you come to the UK you need to drop me an email as I owe you a night out on the town!

  • Itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe

    itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe
    no problems with ITunes on Dell Inspiron Windows 7 until yesterday.  ITunes version 11.0.2.  iphone won't connect stating required software is not installed.  uninstall and install 64 bit version of iTunes.  I have 64 bit version already.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times already.  When re-installing ITunes get error message c:\programdata\34be82c4-e596-4e99-a191-52c6199ebf6\x64\difxinst64.exe.  file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. please install or create an association in the Default Programs control panel.   iTunes install continues after the difxinst64.exe error message but then get the iphone cannot be used error message again.  therefore, I can't sync my iphone with iTunes until I figure this out.
    can't win for losing.  had iTunes on my windows 7 laptop for 4 years.  first time I've ever encountered this.

    I am a PC Tech and had a customer with this issue. Ran across this post in my search and ended up finding the solution on my own. The problem isn't with the iTunes software but the installer for the GEARAspi drivers. Really the issues is with the file type asssociations in the windows registry. On the system I was working on the HKCR key for .exe should point to the exefile key but pointed to nothing. To fix it create a new txt document and paste the following in (only paste what is in between the [code][/code] tags):
    [code]
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
    @="exefile"
    "Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
    @="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
    [/code]
    Now change the extension from .txt to .reg. Then right click and select merge. iTunes should now install properly.

  • ITunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7

    Help me!!
    I have Windows Vista, 64bit.
    I keep getting this error whenever I try to install iTunes: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7"
    I read a lot of posts online on this problem, and tried everything, but nothing helps.
    I completely removed iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour, etc. from my computer, cleaned the registry, manually erased all the leftovers from folders like Program Files, Common Files, etc.
    All this and nothing. I keep getting the same error whenever I try to install iTunes.QuickTime isn't working as well.
    I'd be happy to hear if anybody has a solution.
    Thanks

    Okay ... damaged file in one of the associated programs (usually Apple Application Support) is still our most likely bet, even though you've already covered that territory.
    Doublechecking ... was this the article you used for your complete uninstall/reinstall?
    [Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923]
    ... unfortunately, it's still not accurate for 64-bit systems. In particular, it can leave dodgy Apple Application Support program files (in particular) on your system, which is consistent with a persistent error 7.
    So perhaps try the complete uninstall/reinstall again, with the modifications suggested in the following post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12136253&#12136253
    Any better luck with the 7 after that?

  • Cannot install due to registry errors.

    *NOTE TO SUPPORT STAFF: I DID NOT VIOLATE YOUR "SIGNATURE" RULES IN MY LAST THREAD, I DIDN'T EVEN INCLUDE A SIGNATURE. PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU GO DELETING THINGS FOR NO REASON. ALL LINKS IN THIS THREAD ARE RELEVANT TO THE SUBJECT AND I CANNOT EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM WITHOUT THEM.*
    So, I went to install the iOS 4 today and lo and behold.. I needed to update my iTunes before I could do it for some stupid, arbitrary reason. Fine, I download it and am spammed with errors stating I don't have permissions to access certain folders for some reason (take note, I am the Administrator.) I go and delete those folders then re-run the installer.. Things run smoothly until I get these two registry errors.
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3794151/itunesinstallerrors.png
    I've been going out of my head trying to figure out what the **** is going on here.
    I've tried:
    - Completely removing all Apple software before re-installing
    - Re-downloading
    - Re-redownloading
    - Re-re-redownloading
    - Logging into the root Administrator account (the one that can only be accessed by first enabling it via command prompt) before installing
    - The solution posted at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10545566, all the relevant registry keys are locked. The permissions cannot be modified nor can I delete said registry keys.
    But to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and yes, I am running the x64 version of the installer. I really don't want to have to format because of this.

    And bump again, do I not deserve support or something? I brought the iPhone 4, surely I should be entitled to actually use the **** thing?

  • Registry errors - tried all the fixes I can find, still nothing - help?

    I've been getting the registry error message on my iTunes re: no drivers being installed for importing and burning CDs, please reinstall iTunes, blah blah blah. Reinstalled iTunes to no avail. Tried the fix that involved editing the registry, rebooted, restarted iTunes - same error message. Tried downloading drivers from here:
    http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.php
    Installed drivers, rebooted, restarted iTunes - same error message. What else can I try? I just want my iTunes to work correctly.
    For the record, I now have an HP with an AMD Phenom II X2 B53 processor. iTunes has worked on this computer since I got it, so I don't think that's the problem.

    I've also tried, after trying the other two things that were supposed to fix the problem, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes AGAIN. I got the message that iTunes installed successfully, but then when it started up, I got the same error message about the registry and drivers and whatnot. I'm about ready to scream.

  • ITunes Installation Error Message?

    I recently had to install an update for iTunes. After the update was installed, I was promted by an error message that "iTunes was not installed correctly", and that I needed to reinstall iTunes. Once I completed the process of uninstalling iTunes, I began to reinstall iTunes. After the reinstallation process, I was then prompted by another error message that had said, "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I have continued to receive this error prompt every time that I have attempted to reinstall iTunes. I have even followed troublshooting procedures on this Apple Support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926  and still have not had any luck. Is there anyone that can help me with this please?

    Hello there, John.
    The following Knowledge Base article addresses the very issue you're describing:

    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.

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

    Hi!
    So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same  "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
    Tings I have done:
    - Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
    - Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
    - Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
    - Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
    Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

    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 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.
    Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.
