    If you can’t install iTunes on your Windows PC, or if you see “error 7” or “error 2” after you install the software, follow the steps below in order.
    If you see a different error when trying to launch iTunes, follow the steps in iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    Make sure that you're logged in to your computer as an administrator.

  • ITunes Update download freeze

    Repeated attempts to download an iTunes update hang-up at 30.80mb of 35.95mb. Any solutions?

    There's a couple of things you can try with that one.
    (1) You could try doing the update using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (2) You could try doing a "Run as Administrator" with your Apple Software Update.
    Quit Apple Software Update first if you've got it open.
    In Computer (or My Computer, on XP) open your C Drive or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    If you've got a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
    If you've got a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
    Open the "Apple Software Update" folder.
    Right-click on the "SoftwareUpdate.exe" file and select "Run as Administrator", as per the following screenshot:
    Does ASU show you the iTunes update now?

  • Computer slow and not responding since installation of new iTunes update

    Good Morning,
    I downloaded the new iTunes update two days ago.  As soon as I did it my computer was freezing up and none of my programs would respond.  I uninstalled it as my computer was working fine.  I did the update again and the same thing happened.  So this time I uninstalled iTunes only, not Quick Time and my computer is fine.  Is there anyway I can get a link to download the previous version?  I can not do a system restore because my compute does not have one for some reason.  I have tried that.
    Also my computer's CPU usage runs normally at anywhere from 4% to 12%, both times after I did the update, it was running at 100% all the time.  I could not shut it off or close any programs.
    Does anybody have any ideas?
    Thank you for your time.

    Many thanks Matt - when I spoke to my son last night he did say the anti-virus programme might be the cause, so he told me how to re-install the old Thunderbird version which worked, and to tick the option which says 'allow me to choose whether to install new versions'. So far so good! Very grateful for your help - thanks.

  • My iPod / iTunes wont transfer songs and freezes

    Right quick lowdown... Got iPod classic 160gb last Summer. Transferred all music onto it eventually and it worked perfectly until a few months ago. It randomly crashed when sync'ing one time and then was unable to function properly without crashing thereafter. I sent it back, there was a fault and i got a replacement just the other day.
    So tried sync'ing my new iPod. Sync'd like hundred songs or so then stopped with (-69) error coming up. Tried Sync'ing again and it added some more songs then got same error message. Kept trying and then eventually it wiped all songs off iPod that it had sync'ed before. Everytime i try to sync it comes up with a random error message (-53) (-48) (-49) (-120) etc. Lost track of all the errors it's given me.
    I have since tried manually transferring songs and some go on without a problem, whereas others cos iTunes and my iPod to freeze. I then get a message saying iTunes is not responding and when i safely remove my iPod it sometimes scrubs everything that was on it, sometimes it doesn't
    I read somewhere else i could have corrupt files preventing me from being able to transfer and Sync. The fact is i didn't have trouble before (i used first ipod for months with no problems) and recently been using an old ipod mini while i sorted out my broken classic and it has worked fine with no problems. I've been updating iTunes every time the updates come available.
    Can anybody provide any help??? Why has my iPod all of a sudden refused to transfer some songs? Is it likely that corrupt songs are somehow now preventing me from transferring tracks or is there something wrong with this iPod too? Or could there be another fault?
    Thanks in advance

    I check with my service provider as well as I synchronized with iTunes , changed time manually with the right time zone. Unfortunately the problem keeps showing

    Hi Courcoul
    Thanks for stepping by
    To tell the truth I forgot to mention that I already did what you said, even more I tried all "reset" options including:
    Reset all settings
    Erase All content and settings
    Reset Network settings
    Etc
    Even
    Reset location and Privacy
    It keeps showing the problem

  • Why does iTunes and my whole computer freeze when syncing songs to phone?

    Im trying to sync my iPhone 3gs with iTunes but my laptop keeps freezing after 14 songs why is this? I have recently upgraded to ios5 so im guessing its because of this..how do i solve my problem?

    Do you have all the latest software updates? This seemed to be a problem with earlier versions but everything seems to be running okay with iTunes 7.7.1 and iPhone 2.0.2 (which came out yesterday)

  • Installed iTunes on a 1TB drive designated H:. Bought a 3TB drive designated G:. Downloaded iTunes update. On "Run" command, it will not let me change the destination drive, so it registers an error, and will not update. Help

    Installed iTunes on a 1TB drive designated H:. Bought a 3TB drive designated G:. Downloaded iTunes update. On "Run" command, it will not let me change the destination drive, so it registers an error, and will not update. App freezes, windows says to upgrade it.

    I went to Edit>Preferences>Advanced, G: is showing as the destination drive.

  • Anyone having problems downloading new iTunes update?

    After trying to download the new iTunes update received an error notice that said iTunes was not installed properly and I needed to re-install.
    I cannot even access the iTunes program.

    Hopefully you will be able to avoid upgrading, this freeze issue you're having might be a good thing if it means that os6 has failed to be installed. os6 is not looking good. I didn't read the reviews before I accepted the "up" grade. Now it seems it's too late. Hope you can get your answer and can use this stalled "up" grade to revert to os5!

  • Music Videos worse with every iTunes update

    I have purchased a number of music videos over the years. In the past they played fine on Windows XP. With every iTunes update, they've gotten more unstable, beginning with the inability to preview videos on iTunes. (The audio worked, but the image was pixilated). The actual video played fine on the computer and iPod).  With the next update, the videos in my library became unstable when played on iTunes, freezing and crashing almost every time (but still playing OK on my iPod).  During that time, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quick Time countless times with no improvement.  One update eliminated the ability to stop the video and return to the library to make another selection.  If I touched anything, even "pause," iTunes would crash. 
    With this latest update, I can't even hear the audio for previews on iTunes.  I actually purchased one last night without seeing or hearing it!
    When iTunes gets up and running again, I'm going to try to authorize my laptop, but it's also Windows XP.  I don't have much hope that it will work for videos. It is beyond frustrating to have this problem for over a year with no Apple resolution.  I don't know if this is a chronic issue with Mac, but it has been for me.  Any ideas?  I have this totally useless library of favorite videos.

    Same for me - once I enter the password in the first screen I 'cancel' the second request. Most of the time then things are ok - it is a pain but not enough to stop me from taking care of business.
