Itunes wont install on windows xp pro x64

right then i am having issues installing itunes on win xp x64
the installer goes all the way then i get the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" message then when i send the information i get a link saying "Solution found: contact Apple Computer to obtain the update
Problem description

Go Apple Computer
Additional information
* Microsoft did not create, nor does it provide technical support for iTunes.
* If you have trouble installing the fix or the problem you reported persists, please contact Apple Computer and alert them of the problem"
thing is this was the latest downloadable link i have a txt file that lists all the model exceptions etc but its massive didnt want to post here. can any one advise me on if itunes infact can work on the win xp x64 enviroment?

hi timski!
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken Quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch, or do you get an error message when you try to launch it?
if you get an error message when you try to launch Quicktime, try a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
keep us posted.

ITunes wont install on Windows 8 Pro x86, "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured."

Installer is being run as admin. Bonjour service is installed and running.
The lack of information is a bit frustrating... nothing in event viewer that I can see..

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat.
Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
It works now BUT there are still problems. It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn. Looking still for this fix.

ITunes 7.6 and Windows XP Pro x64 ---- 64 bit version of Windows XP Pro

My wife was given an iPod nano, so I downloaded the current version of iTunesSetup.exe from www.apple.com and tried to run the executable. It told me that it wasn't designed to install iTunes on my 64 bit version of Windows XP Pro, and that I should go back to www.apple.com and download the 64 bit installer. I went back to www.apple.com and searched for the 64 bit installer in vain. There is only one main link to the current installer and the website determines which version of the installer you're given. After a few google searches I managed to aquire iTunes64setup.exe from the Apple site. I ran the executable and it told me "This iTunes installer requires that your computer is running Windows Vista 64-bit" and then it gave me the option to exit. I ended up installing iTunes from the executable I had originally downloaded. I have iTunes 7.6.2.9 installed now but it doesn't detect, or can't operate my DVD burner, so I can't rip music with iTunes for use on my wife's nano. I get this error report when I run the Diagnostic test built into iTunes.

Failed loading CD / DVD drives, error -43. Try doing a repair install on iTunes from the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel."
And there was no change in the diagnostic when I first tried to repair the install and then tried to reinstall iTunes. I'm sure the burner is working because I can play music, watch movies and all the normal stuff a DVD burner can do using Nero.
I'm guessing I need an iTunes version of 64 bit optical drive driver.
Any help would be appreciated!

I got the iTunes 7 to work on XP Pro 64bit. What I did was this:
1. Downloaded DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe
2. Installed it.
3. Created this file tree: C:\Windows\Sysnative\drivers (Easier terminology, I went into the Windows folder and created a folder named "sysnative", opened that folder and created another folder called "drivers".
4. Then I located the folder where I installed DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe ..
5. I took the file called GEARAspiWDM and COPIED IT. I DID NOT MOVE THIS FILE!!!
6. I pasted a COPY of this file into sysnative\drivers. The folder I just made.
7. I installed iTunes 7, not 7.6. 7.6 and this method won't solve the burning issue. That would require more programs and more patients.
Note, you will have to manipulate iTunes when you want to burn. The best way to do this, I found, was to simply make a playlist and right click the playlist on the left column and select burn to disk. It should act normally.

Satellite L655 - Sound not working on fresh install of Windows 7 Pro x64

Howdy all,
I purchased an L655-S5111 from Newegg that was on sale, put an SSD into it, and then installed a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit I received from my current employer (I'm an IT guy). I've updated to the latest BIOS revision (1.70), and I've got all Windows updates installed, all drivers installed, including the correct Conexant HD Audio and ATI HDMI Audio drivers. Unfortunately, sound does not work. Sound worked briefly when I first installed Windows 7, then I muted it until I could get it set up with headphones. When I unmuted it, it had ceased to work.
This laptop is less than 3 weeks old at this point, and I get no audio over headphones or speakers, although Windows clearly shows no issues with the drivers, they're the latest version, on a fresh install, and I can see the audio in the mixer playing. The microphone built-in to the laptop does pick up sound as well. I believe that this is most likely not an issue of physical interconnection, but more likely a software level issue, I'm just having trouble identifying where it is at.
I also have no related error messages anywhere in the event logs.

I have two problems with installing the recovery image:
1) I didn't get a copy of the recovery media with the system
2) The recovery media would install Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit which is what came with the laptop.
Since I have legitimately licensed copies of Windows 7 Pro/Enterprise 64-bit, I would much rather install that. Since I used the drivers and software from the Toshiba website for this particular model, it should be working. There should be no functional difference between the recovery media and a fresh Windows install from the Microsoft-provided Windows media and Toshiba provided drivers from their website.
As you can see in the sysinfo (I'm assuming Keany the respondent is the admin that approved my post and edited it, thus had access to the data which was removed) I have all the Toshiba software and drivers installed, identically to if this was the recovery image, I just have it on a different edition of Windows 7.
I'm open to any other suggestions, but unfortunately it is not possible to do the above.

Itunes wont install on windows 8

the itunes installer says there are errors when loading itunes and says to try the installer again. I looked at other threads which instructed me to run as an administrator. I did this but come up with the same results. Is there another fix for this?

Try following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:

Can't install Windows 7 Pro x64 - device driver missing - can't eject DVD

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro x64 - I create the partition in boot camp and start windows install process. **During the Windows install process**, it says "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: if the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step".
Apparently the drivers are on the OSX install DVD. But, there is no way to eject the windows DVD! Why on earth is there no manual eject on Macs? Is there another way to eject? I tried to put a paperclick in the slot next to where a CD is inserted but it didn't do anything. Is there another way to get Windows to see the correct device drivers?
I am all for clean slick designs, but when it does not have all required functionality, it is kind of useless.
I am talking to Mac Support and they can't help.
Looks like I will have to return this Mac, I also need to boot into full Windows (without Parallels or VMWare) to do my work.

You don't mention what Mac you have, so I'd have to say there is almost no way to help.
IF the 7 Pro x64 came download ISO thru EDU, you have to burn it, and if you use Disk Utility, at 2X reduced burn speed... otherwise it won't work.
A VM isn't fussy and can use ISOs.
If you want both native and VM, to have Windows installed on its own hard drive and use it under OS X, then you have to install it and use Boot Camp Assistant.
I'd say it is all about your DVD media.

Installing iTunes 7.4 on Windows 2000 Pro

No. More info is here:

After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
Look out for "japiohelp".
In short:
a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
c) reboot the computer
and Bob's your uncle.
