My computer says iTunes can't be installed, it may be corrupted, and I should try again.

Tonight I tried to log into Itunes from the Apple.com website.  It suggested that I download the latest version of Itunes.  I tried to do this and my computer said the download was complete and I should restart the computer and log back on.  I did that and then tried to log onto the Itunes again and a prompt came up and siad the Itunes file wasn't properly installed and it might be corrupted and I should retry it again.  What should I do next?  All I want to do is check out some new music and some of the IPOD free apps. I am new at this stuff, thanks for any help from the community!! 

I did that and then tried to log onto the Itunes again and a prompt came up and siad the Itunes file wasn't properly installed and it might be corrupted and I should retry it again. 
Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

    When I try to connect my iPod Nano 4th gen to my laptop I get a message that my device may be corrupted and asks do I want to format the disc.  However, I have hundreds of songs and photos that I don't want to lose. What can I do?

    This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable.  Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • ITunes Can't Be Installed Nor The Components Can't Be Uninstalled

    iTunes Can't Be Installed Nor The Components Can't Be Uninstalled
    I was trying to update my iTunes to the latest when I accidentally plugged off the computer. I switched on the computer back to check the iTunes, it says to re-install the iTunes whenever I click it, so I tried re-installing it (Both iTunes and Quicktime), but I'm having a hard time, it says (click the screenshot I made) all the time:

    Whenever I click retry, it doesn't do anything, so I had no choice but to cancel it.

    This suddenly appears when I click cancel.

    I saw alot of cases like this and had a successful ending, I tried what everyone is saying, but neither of it didn't work.
    I tried repairing the Apple Mobile Device Support, here's what it says:

    I uninstall it using the control panel but didn't work, instead I use the Ccleaner to fix the registry (I can't really see any files that are related to apple) and to uninstall it and it did was removed from the list but the files are still there.
    I read in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 that all programs should be uninstalled.
    1. iTunes
    2. QuickTime
    3. Apple Software Update (Successfully Uninstalled)
    4. Apple Mobile Device Support (Successfully Uninstalled but the files can't be removed)
    5. Bonjour (Successfully Uninstalled but the files can't be removed)
    6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    I already did uninstall listed above, but I still see their folders on my computer/program files. Whenever I try to delete it. it says:

    Please help! I don't even know what to do unless I'll reformat my computer but I don't want to do that, I tried lots of things for my iTunes to work, none of them seemed to help me. I can't use my iPhone / iPad / iPod with musics and videos, it's just so boring without entertainment.
    (Step-By-Step)
    Thanks in advance!

    I had the same problem this weekend.  The iphone 4s needed Itunes10.5 to sync to her Asus Windows 7 Laptop.  When I tried to download from the Apple website I got the error that the windows installer was missings files or something like that.  I uninstalled itunes and tried again but that didn't work.  Then I redownloaded itunes 10.3 just to have a working version in case I gave up.  Then I found site that suggested I update Windows by going through the start menu and while doing that I found an update Apple itunes file. 
    Goto Start and type Widows Update in the seach window.  Click on check for updates (I already was current with all updates but I suggest you download the updates if there are some available.
    Goto start and this time just type update in the search window.  Look for the Apple itunes update link and click on it.  It found there were updates for itunes 10.5, Quick time, Safari, and Icloud.  I checked all the updates except for Safari, since we don't use it (yet).
    The install started then seemed to stall at one spot for ~3min but then completed successfully.  I open itunes and had her synced with Outlook Contact, Email, Calender, and Notes in 5 minutes.  I did already configure Outlook by going to tools and Trust Center.
    I hope this works.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

    This sounds different than with my IOS devices, since I am able to see the photos even with a connection to the Internet.
    Do you mean without a connection to the internet? With a connection it's logical you would be able to see the PS.
    The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    Can photos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
    Yes. Once photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared photo stream can download and keep the photos permanently.
    On a device using iOS 6 or later, you can save photos to the Camera Roll. On a Mac, using iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4, you can save photos from the shared stream to your local Photo Library or any other location on your Mac. On a Windows PC, you can copy photos from a shared photo stream to any folder. On the web, photos can be downloaded directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo.
    This tells me that the image files are not on the HD unless the subscriber chooses to download them.

  • My computer says it can't copy some songs to my iPhone because my computer isn't authorized, but it is.

    My computer says it can't copy some songs to my iPhone because my computer isn't authorized, but it is.

    Hi Sonnova,
    Do you happen to have more than one Apple ID? If you've authorised your computer using the one you're signed into then the most likely cause is that the iTunes purchases were made on another Apple ID.
    To check you bought them on the Apple ID you're signed into, you can go into iTunes, click on Store and View My Account. From there you should have a Purchase History option where you can check the songs were bought on that account.
    If you have another Apple ID then try to sign into that one (sign out of current one and into new one under Store in iTunes), then Transfer Purchases again and you should have no issues.
    Hope this helps.

    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.
