Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now run the Utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), select the "Apple Software Update" entry in the list of programs shown in Installer CleanUp, and then click "Remove".
Restart the PC and try another iTunes install.
Does it go through properly now?

  • HELP cannot install itunes, uninstall itunes or uninstall quicktime

    Hello - Went to upgrade my orig ver of itunes ver 6.0 to the video version to grab some music videos, and that is when all went to ****.
    Got an error message that itunes was unable to install to my PC. PC is p4 running winXP sp2/3.
    Error code: -3
    Went to uninstall itunes, and got another error message that itunes was unable to complete the task with NO error code.
    Also went to uninstall quicktime, and apparently the uninstall is not on my computer. I reinstalled quicktime, which was successful, but after rebooting and then trying to uninstall quicktime again, i got same error message quicktime uninstall cannot be found, quicktime cannot be uninstalled.
    I did manage to get itunes successfully uninstalled.
    After reboot and clearing out temp files and cache then again rebooting, then attempting to reinstall itunes VER 6.0 just the plain version for windows, NOT the video version, i again got error message that itunes was unable to install on my PC.
    PLEASE HELP.
    i cannot seem to load in a successful ver of itunes to listen to music, nor uninstall/install quicktime.
    FYI -
    Quicktime will not work when opened through itunes and through start menu, but will work when opened in the program and actually clicking on the .exe button.
    pls help! i just want regular ver of itunes without video now, just want to listen to music what i bought, thnx

    YES it is a Windows 98 based software, since i was unable to find older ver of Quicktime, i used what i had.
    Incidentally, i figured out that when i went to install the Video ver of itunes, the ver 6.0 did not completely uninstall, some files were somehow corrupted.
    There is a round about fix located on the windows tech support section which deleted previous Windows installer programs that in turn deletes older versions of programs, you pick from a list that the program detects, and it will delete all older versions.
    Here is the link, if you know anyone that needs it..
    it fixed my PC, after using this program i was able to successfully install 1st- the standalone version of quicktime, then itunes without incident.

  • Please help cannot open itunes

    I just got this computer a few days ago. I have been spending my evenings getting everything set up and transferred from the desktop me and my sister used to share. So tonight I was getting my iTunes installed. After I installed iTunes, I imported the playlist, and then I updated to version 8.1. I believe the version from the external drive was 7.something. after I had it all set up I tried to play a song to see that all went well. when I tried to play a song it said I need to validate the computer, but my sisters e-mail came up. I figured it was because she got her ipod first and this file came from the old computer. I tried validating with my e-mail and it wouldn't work. I still thought it was the actual iTunes program giving me the problem so I decided to delete it and download it from online instead of the external drive. After I deleted it I realized that the problem was with the songs, since she bought them. I decided to re-install the itunes I had installed previously. I couldn't find it in the recycle bin so I re-installed the one on the external. when I did I got this error message "The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." and the program would not open. so I deleted it again and downloaded the new one from online. That one said it needed to be opened with an application, and I don't know what that means. So I tried a system restore and it said my system restore failed. Now i cannot get any iTunes installed and working on my computer. I tried looking for the file and couldn't find it. I was gonna delete the iTunes folder manually through "my computer" but then it said it might make some things not work right and I got scared. Please help me fix this.

    i ended up doing a complete system recovery and got the old itunes off, but i still have the problem of getting "this file needs to be opened with an application" after i download itunes 8.1 setup

  • Please help cant install iTunes 7.7

    i was using the previous version and just started off an update when prompted for iTunes 7.7, but the update then failed (sadly it didnt really give any info about the failure). I have tried downlaoding and installing manualy but still no joy the installation just fails and says i need to reinstall iTunes.
    However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
    I tried doing a repair with the itunes 64 setup but that didnt seem to work either.
    I have since uninstalled quick time and tried to uninstall iTunes but still stuck in the same situation of it refusing to uninstall.
    Please help guys 'ANY' thoughts apreciated
    cheers

    However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
    Okay. Let's try uninstalling the existing version by other means.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    Now restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Please help - cannot complete itunes 6 installation

    Here's my deal:
    I have Windows 2000, service pack 4 on an IBM T22, with plenty of hard disk space left and I have had the older version of iTunes (5 i guess) on my computer since I upgraded about a year ago (got iTunes a little over a year ago with my mini iPod). I had trouble then, but somehow got it to work, until now, when I was prompted to upgrade (could not download music otherwise), so I tried to do that, but it failed. One of two things happens: either I get a message that says 1628: Failure to complete installation, OR it just stops installing and I get a box in the minimize bar at the bottom of my desktop that appears to be a dialogue box for QuickTime and iTunes, but that, when clicked on, does not appear (maximize) on my screen. I have now uninstalled QuickTime, iTunes, and my setup.exe, and have tried reinstalling, but the same two things keep happening. I fear that I have lost the ability to install, since the setup.exe is now gone from my desktop. Also, I already tried the suggestions about the 1628 error provided by apple (clearing temp files etc.) and nothing seems to help.
    Please help me! I don't have a clue about what to do and am very very frustrated.

    hi Kelsey!
    It seems to hiccup right in the middle of the box that says "preparing InstallShield Wizard, which will guide you through the setup process / preparing to install" portion...and then it just stops.
    gaah. okay, first check to make sure your Windows Installer engine is up to date:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    then let's try this again
    b with all background applications switched off:
    http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108379
    antivirus, antispyware, Cygwin and various other applications have been implicated with these hangs ... so i reckon it's safest to try to switch all of 'em off prior to the install.
    keep us posted.
    love, b

  • PLEASE HELP: Cannot Install Driver For SB Live CT4

    Hi, guys. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    My computer's pretty old. It's a Dell Dimension 8200 that I bought in 200.
    I recently did a fresh install of Windows XP, because I like to do so every half year or so to keep my computer running smoothly. This time, however, for some reason it's been giving me issues with detecting the sound card and whatnot.
    I opened up the motherboard and it says the product model is the Creative Sound Blaster Li've! CT4780. I went to both the Dell and Creative support pages to download/install the appropriate drivers, but every time I do so I am incessantly barraged with the following message:
    "Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio Card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will now exit."
    I have no idea WHY it's not detecting it, so I opened up the motherboard again and made sure the sound card looked to be securely in place. Still, I get the same message.
    Also: when I go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Device Manager, I don't see my sound card listed there. I DO, however, see a category for "Other Devices" (with a question mark beside it) that lists "Multimedia Controller" and "Multimedia Video Controller."
    Could "Multimedia Controller" be my sound card?
    I don't know if I'm making any sense here. Please, please help!

    Are you trying to use the disc or did you download the most current set of drivers from the HP website?

  • Please Help - Cannot install both versions of Garageband

    I am operating on Yosemite and have Garageband 10, but I need to download and install 5.1 (Garageband '09) in order to retrieve certain loops that came with that version that are important to me for certain tracks that I have been working on.
    After downloading the '09 version from Apple for free I ran into an error when attempting to install it on my computer. It says "This update does not need to be installed. A newer version of Garageband is already installed."
    So that's it. I can't figure out how get around this error.
    Also, I am assuming that by reinstalling '09 I will be able to retrieve the old loops that I need, unless someone else knows where/how to get these. They were part of the original set that came with the program.
    Of course I could just delete the newer version, but I would rather not if I can help it, you know?
    Anyway, thank you!

    the problem is that you didn't D/L GBv5 ('09), you D/Led the update for version 5 to v5.1, not the entire v5 installation.
    you'd need to either restore GBv5 from a backup, or buy a copy of GBv5 (or v6) from someplace like eBay or Amazon (it's not available for free from Apple)

  • Can someone please help me install itunes 11?  Itunes won't open on my PC.

    Hmm, is that the full text of the error message? I don't recognize it.

  • Please Help.  Installed iTunes 7 and now my 4G iPod & Shuffle won't sync !

    And please don't refer me to the basic "uninstall/re-install" crap. It doesn't work. Have any other windows users experienced this?
    Oh and also the "find album art" doesn't work and I can't turn the "shared" stuff off. I go to preferences and de-select everything on sharing, then lo and behold it automatically puts the check mark right back in!
    However the last 2 problems pale in comparison to not being able to sync my 4G or Shuffle!
