Itunes won't Install due to Gear driver

Numerous attempts to install Itunes has failed. I'm receiving an error message that says: Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. Teh GEARAspiWDM service use by the GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted during the next system reboot. Please reboot the system and run iTunes again.
Needless to say, I've rebooted the system too many times to count and I'm still receiving this message. Any solutions? Please help.

Itunes won't install due to problem with package.

I went to upgrade my itunes to the 7.3.2 and it froze in the middle of it. I restarted my computer and then my itunes won't show up nor download. I tried to use the apple installer and it gets most of the way through when the following message appears: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330." I have tried installing the program on it's own using tools--> download only and that did not work. I also tried using a different user account and that also did not work. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am using a PC and have windows XP. Thank you.

Hi Royb,
first i excuse myself for my english...its not too bad but sometimes i make mistakes... however
perhaps you can help me with my problem as well. i did the log file as well and i suppose its something to do with the ipod functions in itunes. everywhere in the logfile where the pattern "2330" matches is something like this:
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Note: 1: 2330 2: 23 3: C:\Programme\iPod
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Transforming table Error.

ITunes won't install due to package problem - Error 2330

I tried to install iTunes 8 yesterday for the first time and when I launched the Apple Installer and it gets most of the way through when the following message appears: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
I ran the installer again and created a log file of the install process if that could help someone?!?!
Any information would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time dealing with Apple as I received an iPod Touch as a gift the other day and now cannot connect it to get it working!
I am using a PC and have Windows Vista Home Premium.
Thank you.

There is a list of WIndows installer errors here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372835.aspx
2330 is: Error getting file attributes
Often with error, a file name is mentioned - sometimes there is a corrupt file.
It is worth running a disk check to see if a filing system error shows up.
If nothing shows up and you can identify the problem file, sometimes renaming if or containing folder, assuming it is within an iTunes related folder.
Otherwise, if no file was mentioned, maybe you could search through the log file for error messages or 2330 to see if anything shows up that may indicate what the problem is.

Itunes won't install due to permission error???

iTunes will not let me install because every time this thing pops up and says I do not have permission to the files. Some HKEY file but I am the administrator. When I go to the registry edit it will not let me change who has permission.I also cannot delete them. What do I doooo?!?! Please help

Hello, Welcome to discussions.
To recap what was asked before. If you could post more information about your OS and system. Example below
Windows XP Home or Pro - What service Pack?
Windows Vista 32 bit or 64 bit - What service Pack?
*You can obtain this information by right clicking on My Computer or Computer and selecting properties.
If you are running Windows Vista there are currently two versions available for the OS
-32 bit iTunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
-64 bit iTunes - http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_0_2_for_Windows_64bit
*Also if you have Vista. When you go to install iTunes you can right click on the iTunes Setup File and run as administrator. You may also wish to turn User Access Control off for the moment to attempt to install iTunes. This can be accessed via
-Control Panel - User accounts - Turn User access control on/off and uncheck the box and reboot. Repeat steps but check box and reboot to re-enable the service.
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

ITunes won't install due to quicktime

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, however i cannot install itunes on my computer anymore. Everytime i try it tells me that my version of quicktime is too new! i have quicktime version 7.2, trying to install itunes 8.1 and if i uninstall everything, the iTunes install freak out too!
I am totally confused! Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
thanks

badalki,
I take it your not using Apple Update, Correct? If so What you could try doing is uninstall Quicktime and then try and install both from the stand alone installer found: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Hope that helps.

Re: itunes won't install due to problem with package.

I've been having a similar problem--
Here are the exact words: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2908." fyi, the message came up just after the installer began "updating component registration," if that is of any use. I've tried re-downloading it and restarting the computer. I've tried what the customer service reps told me which was to stop the iPod service and the apple mobile device service during installation but i couldn't find "apple mobile device" on the list. so i tried just stopping "iPod service". that didn't work. please, please help I am at my wit's end with this.

Checking on something. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the general troubleshooting procedures (listed below the heading: *General Installation Troubleshooting*) from the following document?
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows

Yosemite won't install due to a "S.M.A.R.T. drive problem that can't be repaired."

After downloading Yosemite successfully, it won't install due to a "S.M.A.R.T. drive problem that can't be repaired." It says to back up as much as possible and replace the drive. Everything works flawlessly with Mavericks. What gives??

If you are getting a S.M.A.R.T. error then you should be more worried about losing everything on your drive then about upgrading your Mac OS. Regardless of if you are running Mac OS, Linux, or Windows, you should never just disregard such a drive error. S.M.A.R.T. is designed to give you a warning that your drive is statistically having far more errors than normal and should be backed up immediately and typically replaced.
In your case, it's likely a coincidence that your drive is failing at the time you are attempting to upgrade to Yosemite. You should stop what you are doing, backup your drive (if you don't already have the backups that you should prior to any OS upgrade), and replace the hard drive prior to moving forward.
To make it clear, your hard drive is likely going to fail soon and you may lose everything on it at any moment. This failure has nothing to do with Yosemite or any Mac OS. All hard drives fail at some point. Hopefully this S.M.A.R.T. notice has given you the opportunity to solve a major problem before it gets worse.

ITunes won't install. Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft

iTunes won't install.
Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft
Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this?

I am the administrator, so this can't be a rights problem. The error message says "error writing to file c:\program files\apple software update\softwareupdate.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory".
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive, as per the following document:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Itunes won't install. AMDS won't uninstall

Itunes won't install. I've tried to uninstall itunes and all apple software so that I can install the latest version. But it won't let me uninstall apple Mobile Device Support. Can anybody help? How do I get iTunes back? Whenever I try to install the latest version it gets stuck just after checking the AMDS.

There is no text error message. The install of itunes just freezes on the "Checking Space Requirements" bit (which is immediately after it checks AMDS.
Hmmmm. Possibly a disk/file damage issue there, tom. If so, running a chkdsk over your C drive might help.
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.

Itunes won't install update to recognize my iphone comes up with a error cannot find Itunes.msi

my itunes won't instal the update errors saying cannot find itunes.msi

Hi, kdub5.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you can not update iTunes due to a .msi error. I would recommend uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components as outlined in the first article below. For any component that gives you the .msi error, go through the steps in the second article below.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when you remove Apple software in Windows

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found. What is the fix for this?

It is always these four updates that fail. I've tried downloading and installing them seperately from apple downloads. I've tried various recommended fixes, and nothing I can figure out works. Before these problems, itunes worked on the computer for a year.
Thank you again for wanting to help me.

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.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
