    my itunes won't work so i tried reinstalling and when it starts an error pops up that says:
    "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Itunes.msi' in the box below
    please help, its frustrating

    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
           next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
        oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

  • My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

    My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

    first try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    next
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)
    Re: How do I turn off the compatibility mode for ITunes.
    Does that clear up the compatibility message?

  • 11.1.4 gives me an error message that says Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start.  Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services.  Now, iTunes won't work at all.

    Hey there Warrior41,
    it sounds like you are unable to use iTunes because it either will not launch without this error, or you get the error when you are using it. Sorry to hear about that, that can be pretty aggravating. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue, named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with opening iTunes in Safe Mode and see if the issue persists. If not, the article will help you troubleshoot for 3rd party plugins that may be causing it:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue there are additional steps in the article if needed.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

    With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?  I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart.  I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.)  Thanks.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • TS3074 Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either.  anyone help with this?

    Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either.  anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.
    Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
    I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
    Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
    \\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

  • IPod, iTunes won't work with each other

    I have spent the last 2 days trying to update my "new" nano. The first few times I synced it up no problem. Now that I've spent a small fortune on new music, the nano and iTunes won't work together at all.
    First, I have the most up-to-date version of iTunes. Next, I had the software update 1.1.3 for the nano all ready to go when I plugged it in. I hit the install new software button and dear god, if the nano didn't crap out and iTunes lost it and gave me a 1436 error. I had to disconnect the nano and reconnect. I tried several times, but finally gave up on updating the software.
    I went on to try to sync the nano and iTunes so I could at least listen to my music at work, but iTunes now says I'm not authorized to play ANY of my purchased music (recently purchased or stuff I've had on there for years) on my computer so it won't copy it onto my nano. So I deauthorize and reauthorize my computer several times, I've read every possible troubleshooting/solution guide I can find on the site and NOTHING works. I can play all my purchased music in iTunes once I've reauthorized my computer, but as soon as I plug my nano in - forget about it - "You are not authorized to play this music on this computer" crap. And I can't even restore the nano b/c I get that stupid 1436 error - and believe me I tried everything those help pages suggest.
    I'm at a loss here and not in the least bit happy with this thing.

    Problem solved. The harddisk was formatted and Windows and iTunes re-installed. Hopefully this problem won't appear very soon.

  • ICal Crashing after startup; iTunes won't work

    My problem is twofold:
    My iCal calender (desktop) crashes upon opening every time. I reinstalled Tiger (from "not for resale discs" supplied by Apple). It did not fix the crashing; I still can't use iCal. Now, iTunes won't work with this installation of Mac OSX.
    I deleted iCal and reinstalled the OS again and I have the same results. Coincidentally, this crash happened after I upgraded to the iPhone 3Gs.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Can't deinstall Quicktime. Itunes won't work anymore..

    Hi
    I'm having problems with my itunes / quicktime. It all started off when I wanted to open Itunes and I got a message that I need to update quicktime 6.5.2 to 7.1 or higher. Then I tried reinstalling Itunes hoping it would put the new quicktime on. Didnt work.. so I tried installing only quicktime.. and now - Itunes won't work (if I click the Icon it just does nothing).. reinstalling or deinstalling and then reinstalling doesn't help.. AND I can't deinstall quicktime. I always get a fatal error at the end of the deinstallation process..
    Can someone help me? I would really like to update my Ipod..
    Thanks for your answers..

    (blush) thank you kindly, Kirk. that means an awful lot coming from you.
    although there's always a burst of reports of Codec Pack issues when the minimum version of QT required for an itunes version goes up, we've had a decided uptick in reports of problems that turned out to be related to them this time.
    the combined symptom set that i always check for Codec Pack issues with is:
    "itunes has encountered a problem" error message when launching itunes.
    error-message-free QuickTime launch failure.
    QuickTime won't uninstall from Add/Remove Programs.
    just this weekend, i managed to confirm it's worth checking for a Codec Pack issue if people get the following message (or the English equivalent) when trying to open their QT control panel:
    Une exception s'est produite lors de la tentative d'execution de
    "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
    "C:\WINDOWS\system32\quicktime.cpl",QuickTime"
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4476095#4476095
    (other more standard varieties of broken QuickTimes can produce these symptoms, but the Codec Packs add complications to the treatment for them, so it's worth checking on the presence of a Codec Pack fairly early on in proceedings.)
