ITunes says that this copy of iTunes is corrupted or not installed correctly
I open up my computer and it shows up saying that iTunes can't be opened because it is corrupted. It was working perfectly fine yesterday. I had been using it without problems for years. Anything I should do, or just reinstall?
Hello there, Jasonj9630.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with iTunes functionality:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
If after running through those steps, you find that the issue persists, you may want to download and run the iTunes Installer located here:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

When I hit my iTunes icon I get an error message that says "this copy is corrupted or not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes".
So, my question is, if I reinstall iTunes will my music library be wiped out?Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".

I found this on another discussion board and it really helped, I didn't have to uninstall anything and didn't lose any music

I am having an installation failure issue with my itunes 11 software. File is corrupted and i don't know what to do. I've un-install and re-installed the software three times and continue to get the same error message. It states that "This copy of ITunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes"
iMac, iOS 6HI,
If your old version of iTunes is still working - then I sugest you stick with that.
iTunes 11 is a lousy update - It will not retain your playlists, you can't find and delete duplicates... and a whole arry of oyher issues. (have a look around this forum to see how many issues IT11 gives people)
Just a friendly advise and warning :-) -

HT1926 this copy of itunes is corrupted or not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes
I have just updated itunes and have received the error 'this copy of itunes is corrupted or not installed correctly. Please re-install itunes' whenever I try to open it. I have read a number of replies to other people asking the same question, but I'm not computer savvy and I'm a little lost as to what to do. Can anyone explain how a dummie with a computer repairs their itunes!
Many thanksI do not know if iTunes is in your computer at all
