Itunes will not install on windows vista (error message)

I just got an ipod and am new to this kind of device. I tried to download the itunes from the apple ipod start page. The itunes download ok except for the itunes application, in which it says it can't install the itunes application then it ends with "error 50". I would have to attempt to download again to re-read the error message to be exact. Any suggestion will help thanks.

Praise God - I found the solution after hours of work: (1) Uninstall all Apple programs (itunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, .....); (2) Go to "Common Files" and delete all Apple files - this might be difficult for some are locked from you - you may have to change the "Owner" of the file in order to delete it - if that doesn't work "Rename the Apple Follder to something like Apple Old - that's like deleting it. Then download 10.5 from Apple and away you go - yippee.

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.

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.

I have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing wht to do???

i have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing wht to do???

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

Itune will not install on windows 7

I had to do a full restore on my HP laptop and now Itunes will not install I am running Windows 7

Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Itunes will not install..windows INSTALLER service not available.windows 7

I am trying to find a fix for this...just bought a new computer with windows 7, all updates have been performed. Itunes will not install...it just stops and says "windows installer service not available" Can't find a stand alone downloadable version of installer 5.0 which is what comes with 7 from the research I have done. I have the newest version of itunes saved on desktop, tried running it from desktop, tried running as admin, tried several other ideas that I found on here and Microsoft..but nothing is working. Any advice?

Same error message "This version is for a 32 bit computer, yours is a 64 bit!"
Doublechecking ... by any chance did you migrate a 32-bit version of the iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support and Bonjour programs to the 64-bit machine from a 32-bit machine using the PC Mover utility?
(Your symptoms are consistent with that ... the installer service throws the message when trying to uninstall the 32-bit itunes and related 32-bit componentry prior to installing the new 64-bit versions.)

IOS 7.1.2 apps will not install on the iPhone - error message "not compatible with this iPhone"???

I am using a 4s with ios 7.1.2 and recently any app I am trying to use or load will not work and I get error message the app is not compatible with my iPhone; however, the requirements in every case indicate they are compatible with 4s and ios 6 and greater. Honestly, seems like I have one problem after the other with the iPhone

Thanks, unfortunately that is another problem that is occurring, when I go to Update Software I get the message that software is up to date, with version being 7.1.2, I have tried to update through itunes, wifi, etc, and it indicates the software is up to date.

Itunes will not launch on Windows Vista no error code

Itunes will not launch on my computer. I have windows vista. I have uninstalled and downloaded itunes repeatedly. I have also tried all of the troubleshooting tips available on the apple support site. But none of them worked. Quicktimes works fine. It is just itunes. I even opened up task manager to check the processes and itunes appears for about a second in the processes tab then just disappears. I have no idea what to do i have an iphone 3gs and havent updated it for a few months now and cannot sync my iphone without itunes. I Have kaspersky internet protection but i doubt thats the problem because itunes was working fine until i updated it.PLEASE HELPPPPPP!

Presumably the configuration fails to complete, so every time you start iTunes it has another go.
As iTunes works normally when you plug in your iPod, you should be able to work round this by creating a new iTunes short cut.
Go to Program Files\iTunes and right click on iTunes.exe. Select: Send to>>Desktop(create shortcut). If you are lucky you will be able to open iTunes using this short cut.
However this work around does not fix the underlying problem that WIndows fails to complete configuring iTunes.

ITUNES WILL NOT LOAD, I get an error message which tells me to re-install iTunes.tried on several occasions with same error message.

I am operating windows XP and iTunes will not open. An error message is telling me that files are missing and to reload iTunes. I tried to but error reoccurs. Tried removing the iTunes and erasing all iTunes files and re-installing but same error message occurs? Has anybody had the same problem?

Hello Roadster44,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with reinstalling iTunes. I recommend following the steps below:
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components, may have unintended affects.If you encounter an error while uninstalling, try repairing the affected component:
2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled In most cases, removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all supporting files belonging to those programs. To fully resolve these issues, manually remove any remaining iTunes-related folders listed below.On 32-bit and 64-bit systems:On 64-bit systems:
3. Reboot your computer.
4. Download the iTunes installer. When prompted to select what you want to do, choose to save it to your computer.
5. Install iTunes.
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Select the 'Run as administrator' option.
Windows XP: Select the Open option.
Finish installing iTunes.
It is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the first step.

Adobe Reader V9.0 will not install on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1

I have Windows Vista Ultimate Build 6001 and tried to install adobe reader V9.0. The download was fine but when I run the program (AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe) it returns the error:
"NOSSO (R) has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
Close program"
So I guess my questions are
1. Is there a version of adobe reader that will install on windows vista ultimate SP1?
or
2. Is there another pdf reader that will work with Vista Ultimate SP1?
Thanks for any and all assistance!!
Mark

I am getting the exact same error:
I have a brand new HP xw8600 systems with 64 bit Vista Ultimate installed.
Via google I found a suggestion to turn on user account control.
I went to control panel > User Account > Turn User Account Control
checked the box and restarted the system. I ran the install as the administrator. It was a minor improvement. Instead of the error coming up immediately like it was, I got the OS confirmation asking if I wanted to install the program. I got the failure right have selecting "yes"
Running out of clues... any help?

ITunes will not install on Windows XP machine

I have tried to install iTunes on my Windows XP machine (Home Edition - SP2 loaded)and it keeps bombing out, I have all the symptoms as decribed in the attached Support problem
*No error message displays, however the iTunes installation disappears from screen and does not finish and iTunes is not installed. This happens right after "Publishing product information" appears on the screen.*
I have tried the suggested fixes, including repairing Windows.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Tx

Tony Sheridan,
In Windows goto control panel>add and remove and uninstall iTunes AND quicktime if there listed. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Now scan your system for malware with ewido http://www.ewido.com
After that disable antivirus and any security programs then goto apple.com and download/install the latest iTunes.
If that does not work go here and install "Quicktime WITHOUT iTUnes" http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html

ITunes will not open on Windows Vista after upgrading to new version

After installing the latest version, my iTunes will not open. I have uninstall and reinstall two times and still nothing, any suggestions or tips?

King Penguin set you on the right track. It's probably security software not recognizing the new version of itunes, and blocking it.
