Message "cannot find Itunes on this computer"

Hi - I have a weird problem - I Tunes is installed, I can access and use it (and the store) from the taskbar and Google Chrome, but can't access it from Explorer - I get a message "can't find ITunes on this computer" and a download icon. I've tried downloading (even though it's already on the computer) and still get the same message. It's not a big deal as I can still get to ITunes, but I'd like to know what is going on with it and Explorer. Privacy settings seem to be okay, and disabling the firewall hasn't helped. Ideas anyone?

Explorer
Just doublechecking, remy ... is that *Internet Explorer,* the web browser, that you're having the trouble with? (As opposed to Windows Explorer, the Windows Desktop?)

  • TS1277 I cannot find the "authorize this computer" prompt anywhere? Please help me

    I cannot find the "authorise this computer" prompt anywhere? The instructions say to open itunes and go to "authorise this computer". I have icloud and an Iphone4. Everything i have downloaded to the imac, has shown up on the iphone. But recently i have bought some music on the iphone, and it will not show up on the imac. I dont get it? all the pics i take on the iphone show up on the imac.

    That sounds like you are looking at the Mac App Store, not iTunes - in iTunes (you don't need to authorise your account in the Mac App Store, you don't download or play music, films etc from there) you should have similar to :

    Hello wallydt,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
    Best of luck,

But when I connect my Ipod to the computer I cannot find Itunes, the only thing on the external drive are the small files that belong to Itunes like ITUnes Resources etc..What do I do now? Its not on the computer either. What can I do? Thank you for your help.

  • How do you authorize a computer on the newest iTunes for Mac? I cannot find the 'authorize this computer' link on the store homepage.

    Help!

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • HT1420 i cannot find the authorize this computer option where is it?

    i cannot find it!

    If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • TS1424 Just downloaded a rental movie to my mac in SD... chose watch later ...15 min later....cannot find anywhere on this computer itunes says all available downloads have been downloaded why is this so @#$%%^ difficult!

    just downloaded a rental movie and can't locate it anywhere in itunes downloads never use to be this hard not reallu worth it but would still like to watch my movie.My account info says all purchases have been downloaded.. hmmm wbere is my movie?

    This is bad - I have an Apple automated response that they got my report on 12/6, 12/10 and 12/14, and I haven't heard anything from them since the 6th when I got one reply that told me to do things I tried before reporting the problem. Between the 6th and 10th I replied to their response 4 times and they ignored me, forcing me to report a problem with two more items that wont download but getting no response.
    How do they get away with this kind of behavior, especially for someone with FIVE Core 2 Duo macs and thousands of dollars of of iTunes store purchases? I'm getting really ******.

  • Cannot install OSX on This Computer

    I intend to sell my iMac as i have already bought a new one.
    In order to erase all my private data I have tried to reinstall Leopard on my old iMac. This is not as easy as i thought.
    After inserting the Install DVD disk into the iMac en starting up pressing down the letter C, I select the language to be installed, after that all i get is the error message :
    *Cannot install OSX on This Computer*
    I have no idea what i do wrong. I even tried to format the disk using the disk utility, dough with little succes. The error still come up.
    I could really use some help.
    By the way, I have of course searched through other topics for a similar problem, I could not find anything that helped me solve my problem.

    this error is typical when you are trying to use a wrong leopard install disk. are you using an install disk that came with a different computer? if so that won't work as such disks are hardware specific and will produce the kind of error you are seeing. you need to use a retail copy of leopard or the install disk that originally came with this computer (if the computer came with leopard).

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1926 my itunes will not update due to an error message saying cannot find itunes.msi

    I need help to resolve the fact that my computer will not update. It gives me a message about 95% way through the update that it cannot find itunes.msi and I also went to just uninstall the program completely off my computer and it gives me the same message. Help please!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.
