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 You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer Service."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.)

    Thank you.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode.
    You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

  • Adobe Flash Player won't install into Firefox, even when using the offline installer, and downloading it through Firefox

    Ever since the latest update of the Adobe Flash Player, I think it came out this week.
    I can't seem to get it to work with Firefox, I have downloaded the installer, it installs successfully, then I check in Firefox to see if it works. It says that I need to install it?!?! I have tried the offline installer of the Adobe Flash Player, I also tried installing it through Firefox (when you click "Install missing plugins"). That just fails instantly.
    I posted on the Adobe Forums, but no luck.
    I am getting frustrated with this! I have never had problems with installing the Flash Player, and I didn't install this version any different from the previous versions. Flash Player was working well until the latest update of Flash Player was released.
    If I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, it shows all the Flash Player files, but it's not showing up in the Firefox addon manager, and not working on YouTube, or any other Flash Player sections of sites.
    I installed the 64-bit version, because I have a 64-bit Windows.
    It works on IE, but not on Firefox.
    It seems like it installs fine, but then it doesn't looks like it "installs" it into Firefox. Or whatever...
    Also, I have tried uninstalling it with the Adobe 64-bit Uninstaller, restarting my PC after uninstalling, then install the 64-bit Flash Player for Firefox... doesn't work.
    I have done EVERYTHING I can do to try and get it to work, no luck...
    Please, any help with be appreciated!

    Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11 for Windows or Macintosh?

  • QT won't install on my Toshiba Windows 7 64bit?

    Hello,
    Quicktie goes through the whole download process, but when finished there's a Quicktime folder, but its completely empty.  I've tried to download a number of times but get the same results.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.  Cheers.

    When you download the QT installer. I assume you're saving it somewhere on the computer. Then if you right click on it and go to Properties. It shows as 0 bytes? Is QT already installed on the computer? Have you tryed changing browsers to do the download?

  • AIR App won't install if different certificate is used

    Hello!
    I've taken over a project that was previously developed by another company.
    Now I'm using my own certificate to codesign the air application. The problem is now, that the air installer won't allow to install the application if the old application (codesigned with the certificate of the previous developer) is installed on the system. It doesn't even say that there's a codesign problem it just drops the error (translated from german:)
    Unfortunately an error happened.
    This application cannot be installed because of a wrong installer configuration. Contact the application author
    (german Original: Leider ist ein Fehler Aufgetreten. Diese Anwendung kann aufgrund eines falsch konfigurierten Installationsprogramms nicht installiert werden. Wenden Sie sich an den Anwendungsautor.)
    if i check the system.log, i can see:
    Installer[1190]: The certificate of the installed app fails to match either the signature or migration signature of the AIR file
    if I uninstall the old version of the app first, then the installer will install the application without problems.
    However - this application will be distributed to many clients. It will be quite confusing for them If they just see the error (cannot be installed because of a wrong installer configuration. Contact the application author.)
    What's the reason for this error message and is there a way arround it?

    Hi, you need to apply a migration signature. For more information, please refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff0. html#WSFAB6E5EB-316A-42b0-81A3-0BC232ACD99A

  • 27in i7 iMac STILL won't install win7 64bit - I am using fix released 1/19

    Yes I know the new Bootcamp is out and I am following this guide word for word:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986
    Just to be clear I want to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on a very new 27 inch i7 iMac.
    I ran software update to make sure I had the latest everything including the update to the display drivers (I did this on 1/19/10). I have a ATI Radeon HD 4850 with ROM Revision: 113-B9110C-425
    I followed this article TO THE LETTER to create the USB thumb drive with the extra drivers needed to make the process work:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
    Despite the fact that that article is specifically supposed to fix "a black screen during installation of Windows 7 using Boot Camp" IT DOES NOT FIX IT. I still get that exact same problem.
    I have tried THREE times tonight and made sure to follow every step carefully. I don't really understand how this USB drive with the missing drivers is supposed to work. According to the article you just leave it plugged in and during the install process windows 7 install will find it and everything will work.
    It does not work! Can anyone with a 27 i7 iMac get this process to work? Can you give me a step by step that is different than the official Apple version?
    I don't know what to do.

    Well I understand that is the method that the USB drive is using. Sounds very clever except for the fact that it DOES NOT WORK. At least on a i7 iMac it doesn't work. I don't know why but I can promise you I followed the USB drive method very closely and it did not work as the Apple support page said it would. The only way to get it to work is to delete the display driver driver manually, which I described how to do in my second post.
    It worked fine on my i7 iMac but not the first time. After it failed I reformated my USB thumb drive making sure it used MBR for the partition table and FAT16 for the file system format. I then copied the XML file and the driver folder back over to the root of the USB thumb drive . I also deleted the partial install of Win7 by repartioning my internal drive again with boot camp assistant and then did the install. This time it worked fine.
    I think my partition table may have been wrong since I did not check that when I reformatted my USB thumb drive the first time. I was too stupid to check what it was before I reformated the second time so I'm not sure exactly what I did wrong the first time. I know the USB thumb drive was formatted FAT16 the first time though and nothing else was different. So in my case I believe that was the issue
    Obviously YMMV... While it does not work for you, you cannot state IT DOES NOT WORK for all. Just like I cannot say that checking your USB thumb drive partition table and file system WILL fix it for you. There are probably other variables at work here.
    On that note, my OS X was a fresh install (right out of the box) AND I had not hooked up anything else to it besides keyboard and mouse, I even had the Ethernet cable unplugged.
    For me it's time to work on the banding issue... but that's another post

  • Please help! Itunes 10.1 WON'T INSTALL

    I bought the iTouch 4G recently, tried to upgrade my iTunes to the newer version but kept getting a message that said "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\." So I used the Fix It package, and tried to install it again but I kept getting the same message. Now, I'm using the Admin account on my computer and it still won't install but now when I use the Fix It package, it says "The specified path '%APPDATA&\' is unavailable." Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Sorry, I'm posting this again, but I really want to use my iTouch.

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

  • HP OfficeJet J6410 won't install under Windows 8 & Windows 8.1

    Recently I made a posting about installing the HP OfficeJet J6410 printer on my daughter's new HP laptop.
    Please, before answering my question, I would like to point out to two earlier postings from me.
    1. The first posting.
    Around april this year (2014) I bought a new laptop for myself (a HP 15 Notebook PC, d081ed). It had Windows 8.1 pre-installed on it. At first I had problems installing the HP OfficeJet J6410 printer. I received a very usefull reply by which I was able to solve the problem.

    2. The second posting.
    Almost two weeks ago a bought a second HP laptop (HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11-e000ed) voor my daughter. This laptop had Windows 8 pre-installed on it. I experienced the same problem with the printer and made a posting. Unfortunatelly that didn't resolve the problem. I received no further reactions. The problem is still unsolved.
    Read more about this posting here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/HP-OfficeJet-J6410-won-t-install-under...
    A. What have I done afterwards?
    Afterwards the previous above I first made sure I had all the updates for Windows 8 installed. I've read that in the case of the laptop of my daughter I could upgrade for free to Windows 8.1. So I did that too.
    B. Why a second posting?
    Since I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I realized my second posting wasn't quite accurate anymore. I realized it could lead to confusion since I now don't have Windows 8 installed on it anymore.
    Now here's the strange part.
    B.1.
    On my own laptop (d081ed, HP 15 Notebook PC) I have the same operating system (Windows 8.1. ) as I now have on the laptop for my daughter (11-e000ed, HP Pavillion Touchsmart)
    B.2.
    After upgrading I tried the same steps, as described in my first posting, on the laptop for my daughter.
    Strangely enough, and although we now both have a HP laptop with exactly the same operating system on it, I can not get the printer installed.
    What can be wrong? I tried updating, the scrubber, the packages to solve the C++ redistributable packages... nohting works! And worse!! It seems I somehow made the problem worse...
    Why do I think that, and are there things or error-messages that are different than the one I experienced before (with my own laptop, see point 1 above at the beginning of this posting).
    B.2.1.
    The first thing that is different:
    If I want to install the printer, and after it extracted files, checked the system and prepares it for installation, I receive the message:
    C:\users\<username of my daughter.\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de..
    This is different than the message (Program: C\Users\IRN\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS28Db\Setup.exe) I experienced with my own laptop (the d081ed).
    Note the difference between:
    ..Temp\7zS0FF0\Setup\de.. (<-- that is the message I get on the laptop of my daughter)
    and
    ..Temp\7zS28Db\Setup.exe (<-- that is the message I had on my own laptop)
    B.2.2.
    The second thing that is different:
    At some point I installed, after upgrading to Windows 8.1, the SP 40669 package. I can't remember having done that on my own laptop.
    B.2.3.
    On my own laptop I installed the C+++ packages for 2005, 2008 and 2010.
    On the one for my daughter I only installed the C+++ package for 2010 (KB2562063, version 10.0.30319 and 10.0.40219, but I don't think that is the problem really, correct my if I'm wrong).
    B.2.4.
    Before I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I got an error message at rebooting the system (in Dutch
    explorer.exe - Toepassingsfout
    De instructie op 0x5d2c3e01 verwijst naar geheugen op 0x00000000. Een lees- of schrijfbewerking op het geheugen is mislukt: read.
    Klik op OK als u het programma wilt beëindigen.
    And after that the message doesn't wait for your click on OK. It just flashes away very quickly. Since I got that message a couple of times, I did manage to capture it with the camcorder on my mobile phone. In that way I was able to describe you the message as exactly as here above. 
    I sometimes get the message again, and then not. So it's not consistent. It seems to me the problem there is with explorer.exe and not with the printerproblem, but I'm not sure. Couple of days later, there were new updates for Windows 8.1, which I installed, and the error-message didn't show up again the last few days.
    Last request.
    I would really appreciate some help with this. The reason I like the printer installed is because of the HP Solution Center. I'm sure my daughter would use it for scanning documents needed for her study and printing activities.
    I installed the basic printer for the time being, but only as I temporarily work-around, so she can - at least - print all of her study materials. Scanning, on the other hand, is some differtent then, but that is a known problem with the basic printer driver.
    I truly don't understand this problem. We both have an HP laptop, we both have the same operating system now (Windows 8.1) and stil .. on my laptop I managed to install the printer, and on hers not.
    Please help me.
    (p.s. I do have a HP support Pack for both laptops, and if one thinks that this problem is too complex and would redirect me to HP support ... no offense taken, from my side. But, I really would like to try to solve problem myself at first and would really appreciate your help with it. )

    Hello RNRMusicMan,
    Glad you're willing to help me out. So Sorry I couldn't send a message earlier. I had a few appointments the last few days and afterwards I had to little time to spend enought time to try to solve te problem.
    But o.k, let's continue.
    I've followed the steps you mentioned as a second option. I'll describe what I've done.
    First I tried the Hp printer install wizzard
    No succes
    Same error occured  …\setup\de.. (at the second fase of the installation program of the printersoftware)
    Restarted the system
    I used the Scrubber
    L4
    Error: uninstaller didn't work. Clicked ok
    Restart
    At restart I got the same error about something with the memory. (In dutch; 'De instructie op 0x5d2c3e01 verwijst naar geheugen op 0x00000000. Een lees- of schrijfbewerking op het geheugen is mislukt: read.' and please note that 0x5d2c3e01 was this with different numbers etc, but I guess that's just the adress in the memory where the program wants to read/write to)
    I continued with cleanboot
    Msconfig – services – hide all microsoft services – disable
    Startup – system configuration – open task manager
    On startup tab in task manager – I disabled each startup item
    Closed taskmanager
    Startup – system configuration – checked ok box
    Restarted
    Tried to install again with the OI_AIO_J6400_Full_Win_WW_140_4.exe software I downloaded from the hp website
    At ‘systeem wordt voorbereid op installatie’ I got the same error again: ‘C:\Users\Simone\AppData\Local-\Temp\7zS46SD\Setup\de..
    After this I followed the steps as described to start up again normally (that is: msconfig, enabling the services again, etc.) and that step went o.k and as aspected, so no problems there.
    After that I restarted the system again. I didn't get the message about the problem with the memory again. So I guess that must have been due to the error in the scrubber program.
    I really don't understand this. Me and my daughter both have a hp, both the same OS (windows 8.1), and on my laptop I got the printer running and hers not. What can it be? I'm guessing that there most have been something that went wrong then with either the installation with one of the windows 8 or windows 8.a upgrades, or with the upgrading from windows 8 to windows 8.1. Or is that to far fetched? But that just a question I have, trying to understand what went wrong or what could be the cause of this.
    So what now? It didn't work.
    Update (29-9-14):
    Since all the suggested solutions didn't work out I decided to start all over.
    One of the reasons I decided to do so, was the following:
    I've got an external DVD writer (Samsung, Slim External, model SE-8084D/TSWS) that I needed to use for installation of the HP J6410 CD that came with the printer, since the laptop of my daughter doesn't have a built-in DVD player.
    Now here the strange thing! When I use it on my own laptop, it starts the software on the the HP J6410 DVD flawlessly. No problems there! But, when I connect it to the laptop of my daughter, it sees the CD and I can explore the files on it. But, when I try to start HPSetup.exe on it it does ... nothing!! Now that's very stange! Me and my daughter both have a HP laptop, with the same OS. Still it functions normally on my laptop, and on for the one for my daughter it does nothing. Same with the software that you can download from the HP site. It runs on my computer, but gives errors on the one for my daugther. So I guess that was a good reason to decide to start all over again from scratch
    This is what I've done so far.
    - I made a (full) factory recovery.
    - I've installed all the updates for Windows 8.
    - After that I upgraded to Windows 8.1 again and installed all of the updates for it as well.
    - I removed the antivirus program (Norton Antivirus)
    - After that is done I tried to install the printer again.
    No success!
    But.. I'm convinced I've found out where the problem might lay.
    My daughter had c++ 2012 redistributable installed (version 11.0.50727).
    My other laptop doesn't. An even older hp laptop (with Windows Vista on it) does neither. On those laptops the printer software ran.
    On the new laptop for my daughter it doesn't.
    So.. I'm suspecting the problem does not lay in the printer software but in the c++ 2012 redistributable package.
    Another difference is that my own laptop had an Intel processor. The one for my daughter has an AMD.
    So I am convinced the problem must lay in the C++ 2012 package (maybe combined with the AMD processor? I don't know) and NOT the printer software.
    Anyone got any ideas on what to do next?
    If so, I thankfully await your answer.

  • My PC won't install Acrobat Pro from the CD

    I bought Acrobat Pro 9 off the Internet, but my PC won't install it from the CD. I have the serial number. Can I download a copy from Adobe support even though I bought it elsewhere?

    Hi,
    Adobe.com currently offers the download of the latest version of Acrobat X Pro i.e. X (10). Hence, you will not be able to use the serial number once you download it from Adobe.com.
    Are you receiving any error message when you try to install the software from the disc?
    I would recommend contacting the merchant you bought the product from online in case the disc is not readable or damaged.
    Thanks
