Itunes won't install on my computer

Itunes won't download on my comnputer. It says errors ocuured during installation. Your system has not been modified.

That has been my experience, as noted, because that terminates all extraneous things using memory, running in the bacikground, etc.
With a Windows PC I now just download and restart every time and don't bother trying to install immediately.
Glad it worked out for you.

  • ITunes won't install on my computer, Windows 7 64 bit.

    The computer is current on Windows update. I originally had iTunes installed and it worked fine, but would absolutely NOT update-- it would download the first 25.50 MB, then never finish downloading the rest of it, time out, and give me an error message. I just got an iPhone 5, so I can't connect my iPhone to my computer anyway, because it requires iTunes 10.7 to work.
    After restarting and trying a variety of fixes to see if I could get it to work, I decided to uninstall iTunes AND ALL OTHER APPLE PRODUCTS, just to be safe, ran a complete hard drive check on both my main and secondary hard drives to make sure there were no errors, and try installing it again from scratch.
    But now, the installer will download, but it won't install anything. If I double-click, or right click and hit Run as Administrator, it pulls up a dialog box briefly, then closes out. It will not run. It does not give an error, it just pops up a dialog box then closes without telling me anything. At all. I've deleted it, redownloaded it, restarted, verified that my computer is up to date at least 5 times, and it never, ever, works.
    I just ran across another suggested fix that suggested I extract the files and try installing the individual components separately. When I tried doing that, I got this error message:
    !   C:\Users\Chloe\Downloads\iTunes64Setup.exe: The archive is corrupt
    So. What the **** is going on? I am downloading directly from Apple. If I could download the entire ~300+ MB file directly to see if it would work, I would, but I can't find it anywhere. I am really frustrated with how much time this has taken. Otherwise, my computer runs fine.
    I've downloaded iTunes on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, I also tried deleting all cookies and temporary internet files in between installations. I've tried a lot of stuff. This is driving me absolutely bonkers.
    Thanks for any help you've got.
    I'd be happy to share any other computer information that might be pertinent, just ask.

    Hi sahgin,
    The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
    I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

  • HT1926 Itunes won't install on windows computer  because a "package is missing ". What is this package?

    I've been trying to install itunes 10.6 so i can synchronize it with my iphone 4 but  Windows doesnt let me becouse a package is missing. It will only let me instal up to itunes 10.4 which doesnt work with my iphone 4.

    i couldnt find the ASU, when i tried to install it gives me the same missing package message.
    If you're using XP, go into your Add or Remove programs control panel. Can you see Apple Software Update in the list of programs? if so, select Apple Software Update, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using Vista or Windows 7, go into your Uninstall a program control panel. Can you see Apple Software Update in the list of programs? If so, select Apple Software Update and click "repair".
    If you were able to repair, and ASU now appears under "All Programs" in the Start Menu, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why won't iTunes 11.1 install onto my computer?

         Okay, so... I've had the iPod Touch 5 since march. And today upgraded (well, downgraded) to the iOS7. I hate it; but, I figured if I can't go back I might as well deal with it.
         I plugged my iPod Touch into my computer, and waited for iTunes to pop up. It did. But, it said my iPod was no long compatible with that version: and to upgrade to iTunes (11.1 version). I went to www.apple.com/download/ just like everyone had said to.
         It took me to where you type your e-mail and press DOWNLOAD. I did. And guess what?
         It said "Thank You for Downloading iTunes!". I waited for it to install onto my computer; but, it never did. I started googling every possible thing. It said to go into the control panel and uninstall iTunes completely. And reinstall it onto the computer. I did, and went back to Apple and downloaded it again; but, it still won't install onto the computer.
         So now, I don't have iTunes 11.1 or my older version. Everythings gone!
    *Hairs are being pulled out, as I've been on the computer now for over 4 hours*
         Someone, ANYONE! Please help?!

    itunes 10.2.2 won't install on my computer. I have tried everything in the support list already, removed all apple files, quicktime, itunes(older version) from the software lists. re-starterd computer, new installations, nothing will help. I have an ipad and an ipod but I can't use it anylonger because my computer refused to install itunes 10.2.2. Please help

    This procedure might work or might not work:

    Download the free Ccleaner and repair your Registry

  • ITunes won't install on my Toshiba - it used to have iTunes!

    iTunes won't install. It used to have iTunes, but I cleared it off when I thought I no longer needed the computer (big mistake). Now it's my only computer and I want iTunes back, but when I try to install it it reads "This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows installer package. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer Service."
    Now, how do I do that? I tried faffing about with installing this and that yesterday, but none of it seemed to work. I'm a stupid girl with no computer skills - I need definitive instructions!

    Now, see, I did try that. My computer is now happily updating itself where it wasn't before, but still the same message. I also went and searched Google for a 'Windows Service Pack 2', which lead me to the microsoft site, which gave me the option of downloading the service pack. "Oh good!" I thought, "This will be fixed in no time!"
    Wrong.
    I downloaded said service pack, tried to run it and it too decided not to work. It sprung up a message that was something like "There is nothing on your computer that needs this pack" or something like that.
    Is my computer just so old that it's beyond saving? It is far older than a laptop should be, I know. I bought it in 2003. (I'd also like to point out that I'm not daft, I DID have a brand new laptop - which decided it didn't fancy having a working motherboard anymore. Clearly my ancient Toshiba is far more reliable.)

  • IPod Touch won't install on my computer, works on my brothers perfectly.

    My problem is that my iPod won't install on my computer. What happens is that I will connect my iPod and then I get the Hardware installation wizard pop up and it says "An error occurred during the installation of this device. The system can not find the Hardware specified". I'm thinking the problem may be my computer because i tried it on my brother's computer and it works perfectly but on mine which is (Microsoft Windows XP-Windows 7 Viena) It wont work. I've tried restarting, resetting my iPod, putting it in UFC or w.e that is and other options I don't know what else to do please contact me ASAP.
    P.S. If I don't click "Finish" on the Hardware Wizard my iPod will sync and connect to iTunes just fine but if I click Finish it will disconnect and the process will start all over again.

    I have also tried restarting the iPod and reconnect it again, but still no sign.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    I have had the exact same problem. My girlfirend got me a nano for Xmas. I have finally got it working tonight.
    I can't take credit for this as some other clever sausage suggested it on here. I'm looking for his entry so I can thank him as it has worked for me. Have a look at the following link from Microsoft.com:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
    I would check that the symptoms it describes are applicable to your computer.
    I have had amajor stress but wanted to pass it on as I know how frustrating it is. After 4 weeks I have finally got it working.
    I hope it works for you too.
    Chris.
