Need to upgrade from iTunes 5 to 7, but must uninstall first...
Is my music library (playlists and all) going to be safe when I delete the old version? I can't load the new version until I delete the old, according to the prompt I get when I try to upgrade.
I am dusting off my early generation iPod and starting up a shuffle. I have to have version 7 to use two pods on one computer. When searching this topic, I saw lots of posts regarding people not being able to sync after deleting/upgrading and then trying to go back to earlier versions. Can anyone advise?
TIA
Windows XP
iTunes + QuickTime:
This installation cannot directly upgrade the version of iPod software found on this computer. Please uninstall the iPod software and try again.
go into your Add/Remove programs, and uninstall every entry you find in there called "ipod for windows [date]" or "ipod updater [date]".
if Add/Remove won't let you remove one of those, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to remove the installation configuration of any entries called "ipod for windows [date]" or "ipod updater [date]".
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
does an itunes install go through properly after that?

Hello confused86,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Best of luck,

Is upgrading from iTunes 7.7.1.11 to 8.2.1 safe?
I need to upgrade from iTunes 7.7.1.11 to the newest version of 8.2.1.6, using Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7. As is the case with many posters, the upgrade tool available through iTunes does not work (this is why I've missed a few upgrades in between). But now I own an iTouch and I want to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes.
Since the upgrade tool on iTunes doesn't work, I have gone to the Apple iTunes Download page at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and clicked the download button. When I get the prompt to save the iTunesSetup Installer, I realize that I already have the iTunes Installer on my computer (from back in May of 2007). Thus, I don't know whether I should run the Installer that I already have on my computer (from 2007) or replace it with the new Installer via the download prompt.
I'm trying to be very careful here, because iTunes has already crashed on me twice this year, corrupting my library files and forcing me to do all-day recoveries, so I want to make sure I'm proceeding in the safest way possible. I'm especially worried that iTunes may not work, because I've missed some upgrades between versions 7.7.1.11 and 8.2.1.6.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.FYI: It looks as though I was able to update my iTunes from version 7.7.1.11 to the new 9.0. I did it from the Apple download page and I clicked the Run button instead of the Save button. Now, do I get points for answering my own question?

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next...
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...

You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

Using 2006 iMac running Mac OS 10.6.8.
My iTunes App (11.3.1) will not launch.
Upgraded to iTunes (11.4) but problem persists.
Need help.I have no answers for ya, but I do have the same problem, so we are not alone in this.
My iTunes stopped working after I did a couple of software updates that got my iTunes up to v. 11.4. Since that update, I can't get iTunes to open at all, neither from my dock nor from the Applications menu.
I'm wondering: Perhaps these latest iTunes updates are simply too advanced for my 10.6.8 operating system? If that's the case, how can I backtrack to an earlier version of iTunes that is compatible with my computer OS?
Any thoughts? -

I am setting up an iPhone 5. I selected "set up as a new phone" but now need to restore from iTunes back up. How do I access the appropriate screen in the iPhone 5 which I am setting up?
The phone answered this for me - when I connected the iPhone5 to my computer it gave me a choice which included "restore from backup". Problem solved

Problem upgrading from iTunes 7 to iTunes 8 because of iTunes.msi
When I tried to upgrade from iTunes 7.? to iTunes 8, I was asked to locate iTunes.msi, but was unable to locate that file on my system. I cancelled out of the program install, believing that I would keep using the old version until I figured out the issue. However, doing that apparently uninstalled my previous iTunes version. Now I cannot use iTunes since the version 8 won't install, and the site doesn't seem to offer any older versions that actually work.
This error usually responds to an installer cleanup with the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility. I will give a method for full removal of iTunes and related programs, but you might get away with just doing the iTunes bits.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes. -
I have tried, unsuccessfully, to upgrade from 3.6.28 but have been unable to do so. A pop up shows up telling me that I should and offers a line to click on to go ahead and do it. I followed all the instructions and after dragging the Firefox logo to the applications box a window pops up saying there is a version already in the applications folder and do I want to replace it. I clicked on replace and thought I was good to go. When I clicked on the Firefox logo I get the original window telling me I need to update. I clicked on the "About this Firefox and find that I'm still running 3.6.28. HOW DO I UPGRADE? I'm very concerned about losing all my bookmarks so please help!
I want to make sure you're using the auto-update system, because that's the safest most reliable way to go, and it shouldn't appear in the download manager, so I lets make sure you're doing it right. <br/>
This is a screencast I made a couple of years ago. It refers to 3.5 and 3.6, but the steps are still the same: http://ilias.ca/screencasts/ISUHD45.mov
If that doesn't work, then maybe your Snow Leopard account doesn't have permission to update applications? -
How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8?
How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8? Unable to find a download? I need to get to the point of ITunes 10.6.8 so I can then upgrade to ITunes 10.7 so that i can sync with my iphone 5.
Am i on the right path or do i need to upgrade my software which is OS X version 10.5.8?
Any help is appeciated.All these programs levels are a little confusing ..... you currently are on OS X 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to OS X 10.6.8, so you can download iTunes 7.
You'll need to call the online Apple store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE, and buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, from the legacy products list. You'll use the DVD they send to install the new operating system, then run Software Update several times until there are no more updates. At that point, you'll be at 10.6.8 and can download iTunes 7.
PS. Be sure and have a system backup before upgrading your operating system. -
