ITUNES WONT DOWNLOAD ONTO MY COMPUTER! HOW DO I SOLVE IT?!?

when i try to download itunes 8 it says *"there is a problem with this windows installer package. a program required for this install to compete could not be run. contact you support personnel or package vendor."* half way through the download then it says after, *"the installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured. your system has not been modified. to retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again."*
& i have tried countless times to try to download it & searched forums.
any ideas on how to fix it?!

First download the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop if you have not already done so.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If is generally best to do that and run the installer from your PC rather than updating from iTunes or via your browser.
Now your question...
This message often relates to a problem with Apple software update.
Go to Add remove programs and find Apple Software update. Try repairing it.
Select Change>>repair.
That probably will not work
Then try uninstalling any instance you find of Apple Software update. That probably will not work either.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
Remove any instance you find of Apple software update with the cleanup utility.
Download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop.

Restart your computer and try installing iTunes.

    Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer. I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Please HELP!!

    I'd first try experimenting with a different browser. If you've been using IE for the download, try Firefox instead (or vice versa).
    If no luck there, there's some other suggestions in the following document. (You're not getting the error message, but your problem here falls into the same general class of download trouble.)

  • ITunes wont download to my computer, how do I fix this?

    How do I fix this...I had iTunes on my computer and worked great, then I got the iPhone 5s and plugged it in and the next time I tried to open my iTunes it gave me an error message. So I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it and now it keeps giving me the same error message.

    Many thanks, that's perfect.

  • Itunes wont download on my computer. I've tried uninstalling everything to do with itunes and re downloading it again but it still wont work

    itunes isnt download onto my computer. I've tried uninstalling everything that itunes has installed on my computer, downloaded itunes again but it still wont install on my computer.

    So which is it, iTunes will not download or will not install?  They are two seperate processes.
    No one can offer relevant solutions if the user cannot or will not clarify what the issue truly is.

  • HT2311 After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go).  What do I do?

    After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go).  I also looked for the new iTunes by clicking on my Hard Drive icon but didn't see it there either.  I only see the icon for the old iTunes.  What do I do?

    The exclamation mark means that the app has lost the link to the actual file.
    First step: try and make sure the iPhoto Library is working correctly:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • No Computer Will Reconise My Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. And Itunes Wont Download On My computer..

    ok so since about 2 weeks ago i have not be able to use my ipod touch. my cord broke and it died. took about 5 days for my cord to come in the mail.but when i got it my ipod wouldnt charge, or sync to my computer. i spent all day searching the web for answers. i uninstalled itunes 3 times, yes i checked apple mobile, spoted it started it restarted it. shut down my computer lots of times, used different usb ports and nothing. all i get is "This Usb Has Malfuctioned" i tried installing the drivers, but i got code 10 from windows and they wouldnt install. ive tried two other computers but i didnt have access to the adminastor account so i couldnt mess with any drivers. i force resotred it but when i plug it in nothing happens. and now i cant download itunes. everytime i try it freezes my computer and shuts down. so with no itunes i have no drivers and with no drivers i have no ipod. so does anyone know how to fix this or has had this problem before, because i have tried everything.

  • I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer.

    I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer, even when I checked for available downloads all it says is, "All purchases have been downloaded for ths Apple ID". What should i do?

    Hello rahulseth,
    I would recommend for these symptoms that you delete the song and re download it using this article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    That should resolve any issues with the downloaded file.
    All the best,
