Need help: When installing iTunes on Windows 7, installer is stopping at "Installing Apple Application Support". Can anyone help....this is the first time I am using an Apple product and it sure is not very user friendly!!!

I am trying to install itunes but the installer is not going beyond the "Installing Apple application support" stage,

Do you have any of these programs installed?
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
I had the trouble that if an old #4 or #5 was installed, a full iTunes install did not work.
If you have any of the above installed, try this,

  • I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

    I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

    The delete key does a backward delete because it is the natural way to delete while typing. May not be to you and the millions of youngsters who grew up with windows computers. When you are typing and want to delete that which you just typed you are already at the end and you delete back to where you want to re-type. When you go back to a document and want to delete a selection, you have to go to the end of the selection instead of the beginning. it's just the way its always been done on macs. it takes some getting use to.
    If you select text to be deleted with your mouse then the delete key deletes the selected text. same for either delete key method.
    It is not convenient when you tab to fields in a form. That why fn-delete does a forward delete.
    Macs have a couple of keyboards. The small "wireless keyboard" only has the (backward) delete (fn-delete forward). The larger "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" has both a Delete (backwards) key beside the = abd it has the "delete >" key in the groups with fn, home, end, Pg up and Pg dn. This keyboard is best for users who have switched from windows or are familiar with the windows forward delete.

  • I want to save with alt s in the program Exact Online. This function is not working. this is the first time that i use this program with firefox.

    Question
    I want to save with <nowiki><alt><s></nowiki> in the program Exact Online. This function is not working. this is the first time that i use this program with firefox.
    '''edit''', mod escaped the '''<nowiki><s></nowiki>''' to prevent line through question

    Submitted too soon... To change your accelerator key for accesskeys to Alt alone (or a different combination), you can change a setting using Firefox's about:config preferences page.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''ui.k''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Make sure '''ui.key.generalAccessKey''' is set to its default value of -1 (or right-click and choose Reset if it is not).
    (4) Double-click '''ui.key.contentAccess''' to open a dialog box to change the value from its current default (on Windows, 5) to your choice of the following:
    * 2 = '''Ctrl''' (Fx default on Mac thru Fx13)
    * 3 = Ctrl + Shift
    * 4 = '''Alt''' (IE/Chrome/Safari default on Win/Linux)
    * 5 = '''Alt + Shift''' (Fx default on Windows & Linux)
    * 6 = '''Ctrl + Alt''' (Fx default on Mac from Fx14) (Chrome/Safari default on Mac)
    * 7 = Ctrl + Alt + Shift
    This should take effect as soon as you OK the dialog, so you can experiment in a separate tab. Other combinations are available if you want to try them. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.key.contentAccess (inaccessible at the moment?)

  • F.F. keeps telling me i need an ActiveX Plug-in but i can not find one for 3.5.11. This is the first time i have ever had a problem and totally lost here...please help. Jared

    I was going to add some new ringtones to my cell and in trying to listen to the samples i keep getting the Firefox needs to an ActiveX Plug-in would i like to be directed to where it is but nothing there matches....
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == Every time i have tried to go to site to review ring tones...

    Firefox, and most other browsers except IE, does not use ActiveX. See [[ActiveX]]
    You can try this add-on to see if it will allow you to listen to the ring tones by using IE's rendering engine in a Firefox tab:

  • When i got this ibook g4 yesterday i couldnt access itunes. i didnt know what to do because this is the first time i ever used a mac os. i followed the steps to delete itunes on the apple support web page and now there is no existing file of itunes on my

    There is no more existing file for itunes on my ibook and every time i try and download itunes it says cannot create file. Can anyone tell me what to do please?

    Open the General section of Safari's preferences and check where Safari is trying to download files to; if this folder doesn't exist or is in a folder used by the system itself, change it to a location inside your home folder, such as the desktop, or another folder you can write to, such as /Users/Shared/. If the download folder is set to one of these locations and you get that error message, click on that folder in the Finder and then choose Get Info from the File menu. Under Ownership & Permissions, verify that you have read and write access to this folder and that the folder isn't locked, changing the settings as necessary.

    Hi there, I am new to Apple Iphoto. I am having lots of problems in transferring my edited photos back to my external Hard disc after editing. How am I able to do it. will it be able to open in Windows OS... Previously I was using Windows and now i m new in using the Apple OS.. Need guidance.. Would really appreciate if any1 of u guys could help me through. are there any other applications that I could use to edit pictures.

    Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
    Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
    There are tutorials here

  • Help!! Itunes won't let me downgrade on my 2g ipod touch. Can anyone help?

    I just got a macally microphone for the ipod touch and I found out that it's not compatible with the 3.1.3 firmware. So I have to downgrade to the 3.0 Firmware in order for the mic to work. But that's the problem, it won't let me downgrade at all! I tried holding in shift, then pressing restore. That didn't work. Every time I try to downgrade it says "The ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (20)" Does anyone know how to fix this?

    If you actually have the 3.0 FW on your computer, you may be able to downgrade by first putting your Touch into "DFU Mode", then use the Shift-Restore technique to select the 3.0 OS file. I won't go into the DFU Mode instructions here, plenty of explanations around here and the web in general. Note that this is not a practice supported by Apple.

  • Hi, I want to revert back to my old apple id password (6 digits). The complicated password now is not very user friendly to me.

    Hi, I want to revert back to my old apple id password (6 digits). The complicated password now is not very user friendly to me.

    Sorry I misinterpreted what it was that you want to do. The following gives the current password requirements: Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support
    There isn't any way to have a 6 digit numerical password -- as you already found. With the amount of password hacking going on currently, I suspect that if you were able to change it back you would be putting your account at a significant risk. You are being forced, but I think Apple is doing that with good intentions and that it is in your interest. You can complain (provide feedback) at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

  • I updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26 and I am trying to burn a play list and it gives the following message: disc burner or software not found.  This is the first time that I have this problem.  Can any one help me please?

    I have a Mac Book Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7; Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Mac OS X Version 10.7.5

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found."  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

    Thanks Kurt!  I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close.  I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank.  In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well.  Thanks for your help!
