ITunes wont work on my windows xp, I get Error 7 (Windows error 999)

iTunes has worked before but after summer vacation it stopped working. I get an Error 7 pop up everytime. I've reinstalled it twice and I get the same error. IDK what to do.

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • ITunes wont delete, needs re-install but keep getting error message.

    I have a Dell XPS M1710 and running the latest version of iTunes.
    Well, I had a problem with the DVD drive in the laptop and one of the tech guys edited the registry remotely and re-installed the DVD drive.
    Now iTunes is showing this error message when I start it up.
    Itunes Setup Assistant
    Warning!
    The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other Cd burning software. Please re-install iTunes.
    Well.... I un-installed then re-installed. Forgot something and un-installed again. Deleted the iTunes folder and quicktime folder in the Add/Remove programs and in the Program Files. then the iTunes folder in the Music Folder.
    I got this error message again, and keep getting it when I run iTunes.
    How can I fix this?

    First and foremost, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER let anyone edit your registry remotely without asking him exactly what he is doing and why. There are two rules to editing the registry.
    #1. DO NOT
    #2. If you must break rule #1, BACKUP
    Sounds like the Dell tech guy forgot both of them.
    If you know which "other" software was installed, you can try uninstalling it. If you are sufficiently tech-savvy, you can try to discover which keys they are talking about and edit them in the registry editor, refer to the above rules.
    You can always try calling Dell back and have them fix what they broke. They are supposed to keep detailed, accurate records of all maintenance and repairs they perform.
    Try re-installing without uninstalling. I know, SHUDDER, but by now it probably will not hurt. Are you still running with the original OS, and is the image restore option still available? If so you can try backing up your data and re-installing the OS to its original config. This is not a great option, but it is a next-to-LAST resort.
    Absolute LAST resort, brick the system, re-install everything. Definitely a baby-with-the-bathwater solution, but if nothing else works........
    Hopefully something in here will help. Happy New Year

  • ITunes wont work because of DEP

    My itunes wont work because of DEP closing it. I have tried unistalling my quicktime and unistalling my itunes and reinstalling them but it still wont work. i have followed a couple of discussions but  it still wont work. Can someone help me please.

    many thanks. That's got another possibility ruled out.
    Checking again. When you did your iTunes reinstall, was it a complete iTunes uninstall/reinstall as per the instructions from the following documents?

  • Itunes wont work anymore...error 7

    My itunes wont work anymore on my latop, i uninstalled it and reinstalled it but when i try to get in to my itunes and error 7 message will pop up saying that it was installed incorrectly and ive installed it several times to find the same thing happening. I dont know what to do anymore so if someone could help me out i would really appreciate it a lot!!!

    I got an upgrade iTunes request from Apple. And upgraded. I should never have done that. Now it says that "iTunes is not properly installed". Other strange messages are also coming up, like missing .dll files etc.
    I have deleted all Apple programs. Used Revo Uninstall that also deletes registry files and left over files. I have used ByeiTunes and Registry mechanic. I have used everything that is suggested on this site:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
    After doing all this, I got the same error message. So what wrong with Apple? When you have bought the product, you are left out in the dark. I have given up. Synchronizing the calendar with Outlook I can do manually, pictures that I have downloaded to my phone, I can access directly, and pictures taken by the phone I have to send to myself through e-mail. Music I never download using iTunes.
    I have had enough. After this and after Apple has changed the plug that leaves me with 8 useless chargers and stands, there will be Samsung next time. I'm running Windows 7, 64 bits.
    Hans (Professor of Marketingy). I wonder if Apple is reading this?

  • I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

    I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

    I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

    I assume that you mean that the iTunes window closes. Quit iTunes, reboot your PC and try again. The iTunes software might be corrupt and it may require reinstalling iTunes on your computer.

    Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album.  These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer.  If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
    If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.
