Itunes says it's not installed even though i can open it

itunes won't sync with my ipod, and everytime i try to plug my ipod in or install the new itunes version, a box pops up that says "itunes isn't currently installed...."
how do i fix it without removing my itunes then redoing it? will i lose all my music?

okay. if you don't want to update to 7.0.x, let's try an update to 6.0.5.20 to see if that helps. (the itunes versions 6.0.3.5 through 6.0.5.20 tended to be more stable than the 6.0.1.3s.)
download and save to your hard drive a copy of the 6.0.5.20 installer. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.

do you still get the message with a 6.0.5.20 in place?

    Hi lepyykko,
    If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right?  The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer.  Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
    Are you seeing any error messages when you try to install iTunes for Windows?

  • Flash Player 10.1 is not installed even though message says it was successful.

    Hello,
    I use W7 Ultimate, 64 bit, and IE 8. Whenever I try to watch video a message says I  need to upgrade Flash Player and gives me a link to version 10.l
    I uninstalled version 10.0.32.18, then downloaded and installed version 10.l. A message says the installation was successful. However, I still get the same message and link whenever I try to watch video. I tried repeatedly with the same results. Each time Update Checker identifies the installed version as 10.0.32.18 even though an Adobe message says the installation of v.10.1 was successful.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    I got rid of Update Notifier, and I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro but am not a developer.
    I honestly thought I was following all your instructions to the letter. I skipped some steps in my last post, but here is everything I really did.
    I used the Administrator account, closed all applications, set the Internet security to Medium, put *.adobe.com in Trusted sites and set Internet security to low for it, removed real time protection for my antivirus, used Advanced Settings to disable the firewall, downloaded the Flash Player installer and uninstaller to the Desktop, disconnected the Internet, and closed all browsers.
    The uninstaller was then run. Then the installer was run. The computer was booted . It was then rebooted. The insaller was run again. The computer was rebooted. The Internet was connected.
    Please look over each step and if I'm skipping something I'll add it before trying again.

    Hi gb, I think that you are relying on this Update checker too much. Early on, you confirmed what Flash files were installed. What the Update Checker reports is not correct, sorry. The proof in the pudding is what Flash Player files are Installed.
    In Post#2, you had the correct Flash files Installed, regardless of what the Update Checker said. I can't use the Update Checker as the Standard on whether you have Flash Player Installed or not and you shouldn't either. This is getting too confusing.
    The only issue you had was the Shockwave Flash Object did not Install and I posted the reasons in Post#6.
    There is a procedure to Uninstall Flash Player and to Install Flash Player and it appears that you are relying on other programs to dictate.
    Also I have never heard of anyone using the Adobe Update Manager for Flash Player. Perhaps you should read up on it and see if you really need it.
    Are you a Developer? My suggestion would be to take a look in Programs and Features via Control Panel and see if all of the Adobe Programs you have Installed are needed. Then check your IE add ons for the same.
    My Post# 6 still stands. Until that is corrected, there is nothing more that can be done. That Update Checker, does is have a website? If it is identifying those 2 files as Flash Player files, then I know I wouldn't be using it and you shouldn't either.

  • Help! CC has been withdrawn by Adobe saying I have not paid even though they have taken the money fr

    Help! CC has been withdrawn by Adobe saying I have not paid even though they have taken the money from my account. Why?

    Thanks.  I do not think that the phone is stolen as I have been able to get it unlocked and surely the phone would be repoted stolen and blocked. What I do not ubderstand is that I thought icoud was just somewhere to back up your data instead of saving it to your computer if that is the case why is it stopping the actual hone from loading the previous owner rest it to factory settings before selling it but refused to get it unlocked. The phone would work with a Vodaphne sim as I understand it althought I did not try before i gave it to a shop to unlock. surely they would have knon before unlocking that there was a problem with icloud and that they woyld not be able to do it. The phone shop are insisting tgat I pay £40.00 for te unlck which they say is done or tey will not et me have the phone back does what they are saying seem right and is it reasonablefor them to expect me to ay for a dud phone??

  • PS CS4 wants a printer installed even though I can print some files.

    I have PS CS4 on Windows 7. I can print some files but not all. On the ones that I can't print PS is telling me I need to install a printer 1st even though I can printer others. I have tried to rasterize and/or flatten the files and it still says the same thing. I have created a new preferences file, by renaming the old in my program files,  and it still does the same thing. I have also printed the same photos in Microsoft Picture Viewer. So, the printer can see the file and print it. It's a Brother MFC 9460cdn.  I've used the troubleshooting guide thus far and done all i thought or seemed pertinant - except.... As a newbie, I've not not figured out how to create a new file to copy the rasterized, or layers for that matter, to a new project. I can't seem to figure out size settings and duplicating.  These are files that came with a business and for some reason only about half will print the other are stuck needing a printer installed...LOL
    Please HELP
    Thank you,

    Hi timcasey-
    I recommend you read this Support article on troubleshooting printing issues:

    Hope that helps.

  • I deleted pages because it would not run and now I can not reinstall it. It says the program is installed even though I deleted it. How do I reinstall it?

    I tried to upgrade to latest version. After complete it kept telling me I had to upgrade to the new version when I tried to open existing docs. But whenever I went to app store to upgrade it just showed it a installed and would not launch. Finally I just deleted pages but it continues to insist the program is installed so I am stuck. How do I get out of this circular trap?

    Hi dmomoney24  ,
    Kindly refer : CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.
    Please revert if the problem persists.

  • CC App shows LR5 not installed even though it's installed and working

    I subscribe to the Photography CC Plan and I went to the CC App today looking for the LR 5.7.1 update.  The CC App showed LR5 as being up to date even though LR5 shows its version as 5.7.  I quit the CC App to see if that would force it to show the update but when I launched the CC app again, LR5 was no longer shown as installed but was listed under Find New Apps.  LR5 is most definitely installed and working and I know it's the CC version (rather than the perpetual license ) because it shows the LR Mobile sync features: 
    What's going on here?  I have tried quitting the CC App and signing in/out of my Adobe account. 

    Please refer to:

  • All of the apps in my itunes say that i purchased them, even though i didnt, how do i find out who did?

    ?

    I get that ipad specific apps wouldn't transfer, but I'm talking games like angry birds and words with friends, stuff that I would have to repurchase to get on my iphone at this point even though they're in my itunes. 
    I went to the app store on my iphone and looked where you said but they weren't there either. 
    Can I really not put games I've purchsed on more than one device with the same itunes acct??  that seems odd...

  • Getting "Java runtime not installed" even though it is installed ?????

    I am having an issue where users are trying to access a banking site which needs a particular version of JRE to work, in this case 1.4.2_05. If I login with my account which has administrator rights, I can access the banking site with no issue. On the same pc, if a user without administrator priveldges tries to access this site, it says that java runtime is not installed ????
    I've completely deleted the cache and temporary files, uninstalled java and reinstalled with no success. I also changed the registry permissions on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.4.2_05" and gave "Full control" to the user accounts.
    Using XP sp2 fully patched.
    Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated !!!!

    It's probably relevant that Sun's Installation Instructions for both the JDK and JRE say: You must have administrative permissions in order to install Java.

  • Safari acts like Flash and Java are not installed, even though they are

    Even though I have the latest versions installed, websites viewed in Safari tell me that I need Flash and/or Java. I have searched the forums and tried every suggestion, with no fix:
    • Uninstall and re-install Flash
    • Re-install Java
    • Delete the Flash player cache (~ > Library > Caches > Adobe > Flash Player)
    • Repair permissions on the hard drive
    Flash and Java were both working fine until the 10.6.5 upgrade. Flash and Java both work in Firefox and Chrome on the same machine. (Everything is the latest version.)
    If anyone has a solution that will actually restore the use of Flash (don't really care about Java), that would be awesome! Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,
    Install the 10.6.5 Combo Update.
    Then launch Disk Utility. Applications / Utilities then repair disk permissions.

    These songs were fine when I originally bought them, they play on my computer, and even played on my old Iphone. I have deauthorized and authorised my computer serval times, but nothing seems to fix it. What do I do?

  • Why does my iPad say it's not charging even though it's plugged in?

    Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

    If you are trying to charge from a USB port on your computer, the port may not supply enough power to charge the iPad. It may even be charging but very very slowly and it will say not charging. You should use the power adapter that came with the iPad and plug the adapter into  a wall socket for the most efficient way to charge.
