NEW iTUNES REFUSES TO INSTALL

i have tried everything and nothing works. when i installed itunes i saved it in a folder under tools. after i downloads a windows installer box appears saying "preparing to install." after that box disappears, nothing happens. the only time the itunes installation window appears is when my computer is shuting down. but i can't finish it because my computer is already in the middle of shutting down. it says that there is some sort of error, but i can't read it because the window only appears for less than a second. i've repeated this process several times, sometimes opting to "open" instead of "Save."
i tried installing an older version of itunes and it gave me error number 0x80040707. but it still managed to install successfully. but since it's an older version, it's not compatible with my ipod.
i've looked through the site and the forum, and nobody seems to have this particular problem with the installation.
i'm completely desparate and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jewel case insert does not print properly since new itunes version was installed

jewel case insert does not print properly since new itunes version was installed. The song list prints all of the line items too close together without space inbetween each song.

I am having the same issue. If I close itunes and open with a new CD already in the drive, it will find it. But once that CD has been imported and ejected, itunes does not find the newly inserted CD and there is no command to tell itunes to "look" in the CD drive

New iTunes fails to Install

The new iTunes fails to install saying "The Installer has insufficient priveleges to modify C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\itms.js". It then just exits when I hit "ok".
I'm running Vista and i turned off UAC to see if that would help, but no luck.
Anyone seen this?

I also have similar problem. iTunes will not install on new HP desktop which uses Win 7 Professional and IE 9! Instal stops with note download was incomplete. Tried several times without Firewall and clearing IE history Still no luck! Is it a Win 7 or IE 9 problem?????

New ITUNES won't install

i recently tried to upgrade my itunes to the latest one. everytime i tried to install it there would be a message saying that it is from an unknown publisher and then another one would come up saying not a valid win32 application. any answers?

I think i've fixed all my problems.
Here's what i did. After a many hours (thanks Apple!) of reinstalling and system restores I finally gave up. 1 day later Windows releases a huge windows update with like 4 patches. I ran and installed that update. I tried to listen to a Quicktime audio stream but like I mentioned before, it wouldn't work unless I installed the lastest Quicktime. So I was directed to the Apple site to download quicktime (again...) I chose to download it without iTunes. It worked! I started to think...well if it worked, maybe upgrading to itunes 7 will work now. So I took the chance to download the new itunes 7 upgrade after painfully getting itunes6 up again (which didn't end up working...no sound would play) and VOILA! iTunes 7 worked because it recognized that my QUicktime was uptodate this time. I think it had something to do with the windows update that wasn't available the day all this mess happened! ANyways, only experiencing the odd song that will sound static and distorted on the new iTUnes7, but if I stop the file from playing and restart it, sounds fine. I really like the free Album Art.

New Itunes refuses to get isntalled; but Quicktime does (????)

Everytime i try to install the new itunes version, it stops...it tells me something about my server and that i should contact the amnufactored or some stuff like that. however, quicktime installs just fine. I really REALLY hate this problem because im unable to buy ANYTHING from itunes and when i try to syn my iphone it goes at the speed of a snail. help help HELP!
i use a gateway laptop running on window xp.

New itunes won't install and I can't install older versions

Hi all,
I just downloaded the newest version of itunes this morning (I guess it's a newer itunes 11). The installation would not work, and I cannot seem to try it again. I've tried downloading the files from itunes, but it won't download. I've also tried going back to itunes 10, but I get the error: The file "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes"
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

i'm using a Mac OS X version 10.5.7
Then update to 10.5.8 and download Safari 4.0.4.

Help, iTunes refusing to install!

I've been trying to install the new update for iTunes for nearly a week now and for some reason, I can't.
Every time I try to do it, an error message pops up saying 'Apple Application Support was not found'. Can I ask what this even is? It's driving me crazy.
Also, it says 'error 2 (windows error 2)'... Don't have a clue what that is either.
Somebody, please just help me. I'm at my wits end with a phone that desperately needs backing up and sorting out. And I can't do either of those things until I figure out how to get iTunes working again.
Thank you.

Every time I try to do it, an error message pops up saying 'Apple Application Support was not found'. Can I ask what this even is? It's driving me crazy.
Also, it says 'error 2 (windows 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/
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.)

I tried to install the new itunes but didnt install correctly

I tried to install the new version of itunes. it didnt download correctly. i uninstalled itunes and tried to download it again but I keep getting a message that the "apple device support " didnt download correctly and keeps showing me "windows error code 1114.

Many thanks.
If it's saying it can't find the iTunes.msi or iTunes64.msi, we should try the following procedure.
(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
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. 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?

New itunes update wont install, plz help!!!!

i tried updating my itunes to 7.0.2 and it said there was an invalid signature and it wont be installed.

actually its 1.0.2 not 7.0.2

TS1717 New itunes won't install in win8

Why won't the new 64 bit 11.0.4.4 install as admin? It loads a bar in the middle of the window then disappers.

hmmmm. what version of the Windows Installer do you have on your PC?
the easiest way to check is to head into your Add/Remove (don't uninstall anything) and see if there is a "(KB893803)" next to your entry for Windows Installer.
if there isn't one, try upgrading to Windows Installer version 3.1v2. see:
Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available

New iTunes will not install there is a problem with the GEARAspiWDM driver

THe message says exactly this:
"Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. THe GEARAspiWDM service use by the GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted during the next system reboot. Please reboot the system and run iTunes again."
Ive rebooted about four times and it hasnt helped. What should I do??

With that one, let's try getting an installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address: [email protected]
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing
