ITunes will not download on Windows 8.1

I have a new HP Touchsmart 15 with Windows 8.1.   I am trying to download the latest version of ITunes. (having no ITunes on this laptop at all).  Pop up blocker is off.   When I click the download button, absolutely nothing happens. 
Thanks for any suggestions!

There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded.  As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (32-bit) - itunessetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer).  The "for older video cards" reference does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.  This also includes links to the iTunes 12.0 installers if the issues reported with 12.1 suggest it safer to use the previous version.

  • Itunes will not download in windows 7

    I have just up graded my old vista machine with Windows7 using an up grade disk but completelry removung the old vista system.
    I have tried to down load the latest version of itunes but keep getting this error...
    "This application package could not be opened.
    Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, contact the application vendor
    to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"
    I have a genuine version of windows7 and i'm downloading the programme from the apple site.
    I just dont know what to do to fix this problem..

    Have you tried "Run" instead of "Save?"
    Do you have anti-virus software on the PC? If you do, try disabling the anti-virus for just 15minutes to allow the download to finish.
    Hope one of those helps.

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

    Any one had this issue
    Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • I tunes will not download on windows 8.1

    i tunes will not download with windows 8.1

    i dont get any message,  its just gets stuck while downloading, and will not finish.
    Many thanks.
    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
    If you still can't get a working installer from the standard download page, try the following direct download links for 11.1.5.5:
    iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-02-25)
    iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-02-25)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    Are you sure the error message/prompt isn't referring to the amount of disk space available on your PC's internal hard drive?  If you head to Start -> My Computer.  How much space is free on your C: drive?
    Maybe it would help if you could post a small screen shot of the error.

  • Itunes 10.5 will not download on windows 64bit

    im seeing lots of this. 10.5 will not download onto my comp. i have 64bit windows 7. tryed everything. keep getting same error message,
    There is a problem with the windows installer package. A program for this install to complete could not be run.
    I uninstalled itunes from computer, tryed again. and nothing. same thing.
    had to re-download 10.4.1 which downloaded with no problem.
    what is goin on with this new update?

    I saw it in the forum yesterday!  I had to dig to find it... but then I come here today and I see so many people having the same issue... so I made a thread that has the solution as the first post and replied to some other peoples' threads.
    I don't really know why iTunes 10.5 has this problem, but this fix seems to always do the trick!
    Hopefully Apple can find the root of the problem so people don't have to do this in a future iTunes release.  It must have something to do with the push notification system they added to iTunes.  (In iTunes 10.5, your computer connects to Apple's Push Notification System so that it can know when your iPhone is on the Wi-Fi network and also to advertise when the computer itself is on the network.  It also receives requests to sync via Wi-Fi this way as well...)
