ITunes will not install properly on my Windows 7 PC, it keeps saying that I need Windows 8.1, what can I do without purchasing Windows 8.1?

When I opened iTunes today it asked to run an upgrade and when I did, I was unable to access iTunes, a message kept popping up saying that iTunes was no longer compatable with Windows 7 and said I needed to install Windows 8.1, What can I do to re-download iTunes without upgrading to Windows 8.1?

  • ITunes is not installed properly. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes .

    I have installed iTunes on my new Windows 8 laptop and I get the "iTunes is not installed properly.  If you wish to Import or burn CDs you need to reinstall  iTunes." 
    I have worked with Dell technicians and we have re-installed iTunes numerous times.  We modified the Registry by adding the Upper Filters key and we removed the CD player in Device Manager and allowed it to be automatically reinstalled by the computer.  All of this failed.
    Please help!

    Hello ,

  • TS3274 My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password.  It's asking for a password of zero value. How can I correct this.

    My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, and it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password.  It's asking for a password of zero value. When I enter my personal password that I created, it say it the wrong password, then it say try again in 5 minutes and shuts itself down.  Is anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it?

    Hello SharonLo
    Your best bet would be to restore your iPad if it is not accepting your passcode. Check out the article below to walk you putting your iPad into recovery mode and using iTunes to restore it.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Regards,
    -Norm G.

  • ITunes will not install completely due to Windows Logo Test!

    +"The software you are installing for this hardware:+
    iTunes
    +has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP (Tell me why this testing is important.)+
    +This hardware will not be installed. Contact your system administrator."+
    It has been doing this for a few weeks now, and it's only when it tries to install the drivers to my CD/DVD drive. There isn't even a bypass for it provided. I have switched it to ignore the logo test and still it brings the message up every time.
    Also, because of it, I get the annoying message every time I start iTunes:
    +"Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."+
    I've gone through all the motions of uninstalling it and reinstalling it several times. It hasn't helped at all. Please help! I just want this behind me!
    I forgot to mention before that I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a possible answer to this question with no luck, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

    I've been having the similar problems too. For some reason, I can uninstall iTunes, but when I try to uninstall Apple Application Support and Apple Mobile Device Support, I get the "Could not open key: UNKNOWN/COMPONENTS/etc./ Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall. Error 7. Windows error 127." error message. I'm on an admin account on Windows 7 and I've tried setting universal permissions through Regedit for the specific keys in question, but nothing works. I'm also missing the dll files required to run iTunes and its associated programs.
    Please help, this is getting really frustrating!

  • Firefox 13 and 14 will not install properly on my windows 7 starter. Also I cannot get the Scrapbook addon to work. Can you tell me why ?

    I have tried to install Firefox 13 and 14 on my netbook, running a Windows 7 starter OS. The installation begins to go smoothly from the setup.exe file; but after the installation seems complete, and I press the 'Open Firefox' button the firefox programme can be seen to start opening because it accumulates about 50mb of private bytes RAM on the windows task manager or on the 'process explorer' utility program by sysinternals. '''However the firefox screen/window never opens up and so firefox does not seem to be properly installed.'''' Also I have had problems with getting the Scrapbook" addon to install properly. I have another computer, a laptop, running XP Home, and I can get the Firefox 13 or 14 to install but it is on this other computer that I cannot get the 'Scrapook' addon to install properly; There is no notice on the Addon page saying the 'Scrapbook' addon does not work on Firefox 13 or 14, and the addon does install, but not properly, so it does not work.
    I have the old Firefox setup.exe files, and so I have managed to install an old version, firefox 3 or 4, on an external hard drive. I have successfully got this old firefox to work on the XP Home laptop from an external hard drive, and can successfully use the 'Scrapbook' addon in this way.
    I cannot understand why I have problems with Firefox 13 or 14. I think I first noticed the problem about 'Scrapbook' with Firefox 12.

    It seems your Mozilla installation is broken. Try the following steps to fully uninstall Mozilla Firefox:
    1. Uninstall Firefox as you would normally do.
    2. Open a command prompt as administrator.
    3. By using the cd and rd command, remove Firefox AppData and Roaming folders, for example:
    C:\Users\USERNAME> cd AppData
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData> cd Local
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd Mozilla
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure? (y/n) y
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> cd ..
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd ..
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\> cd Roaming
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming> cd Mozilla
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure (y/n) y
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla > exit
    Remember to press Enter each time.
    4. After that, open a hard disk clean-up tool (such as CCleaner or Windows built-in) and remove all temporary files from your computer.
    5. Restart your computer. Download '''again''' the Firefox package from [http://www.mozilla.org/es-ES/download/?product=firefox-14.0.1&os=win&lang=es-ES Mozilla official servers] and try to install Firefox. If the problem persists maybe your computer has a problem or is infected with viruses.
    About the Scrapbook add-on, I could get it to work. It has no icon when docked to the toolbar, but you can anyway open it. Right-click a button on the toolbar, click Customize... find the Scrapbook icon, drag it to the bookmarks bar so you can see the icon and click on it to open it. Whenever you need to save a page, right-click that page and choose Save page.

  • ITunes was not installed properly.  If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes

    With Windows 7 I have completely deleted anything that was associated with Apple, Help, Support, you name it.  It was verified nothing Apple.  Reboot took place.  I reinstalled iTunes per instructions and once again I got the following:
    iTunes was not properlyinstalled.  If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes.
    Oviously something is amiss.

    What should I do?

  • ITunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  My only way to recover is to restore my system.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly.  When will Apply provide a workable update?

    iTunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  The only way I have found to recover is to restore my system.  I have unistalled/reintalled iTunes two times.  No success.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly (following system restore).  When is Apply expected to provide a workable update?

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

    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 (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    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.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
