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?

  • FRUSTRATED! With Update - Please help cant use itunes at all

    I have tried to update my itunes to the latest version it does not work and now i can not even open the old version - let me explain what pops up as I try to do the update.
    After I have saved and open the itunes set up the following things happen
    I click install and a box opens that reads
    - the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailabe. Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi' in the box below.
    I click ok and another window pops up that says
    - The path 'c\documentsandsettings\Becky\Localsettings\applicationdata\apple\applesoftware update\itunes.msi' can not be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'itunes.msi'in a folder from which you can install the product itunes.
    the next thing that happens is I click ok (because this is the only option that it gives me)then it goes back to the first message that it gave me. Then when I try to close the window it tells me
    - the older version of itunes can not be removed contact your technical support group.
    CAN ANY ONE HELP ME WITH THIS PLEASE - I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO UPDATE MY IPOD AND ADD SOME MORE MUSIC TO IT.
    THANKS SO MUCH
    BECKY

    When you get messages about problems with msi files, you need to clean up your installer files with the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility. Here is a method for removal of the old iTunes, clean up and reinstall:
    == uninstall with cleanup ==
    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. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    (To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
    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.

  • 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!

    Hello Luis,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First I would attempt each and every single one of the suggestions in this article as necesssary.

    Amazon may not have the correct drive for you, as it may need a firmware patch.  http://www.macsales.com/ and http://www.mcetech.com/ are the only ones that have known fully compatible drives with Macs on the optical front.  http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ can tell you what might be needed for other drives, and it varies.

  • Windows xp pro x64 edition HELP -- Cant install Itunes

    I have searched and can only find answeres that are 4 and 5 years old.
    Can I download Itunes for this machine? If not, is there a program I can use that will allow me to play my ipod on this machine?
    Thanks you
    God Bless
    SOG

    The answers from four or five years ago still apply. There is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and never will be. If you search this forum for "XP 64"or do a web search for something like "iTunes Windows XP 64",  you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete.  
    As to alternatives, there are third-party utilities such as MediaMonkey, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer.  I haven't used any of these, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Store, so you will not be able to purchase content from the Store. The applications may also may not work with the most recent iPods, so confirm compatbility with your iPod model.
    Regards.

  • CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REMOVE ITUNES SO I CAN RE INSTALL IT!

    How Can I Remove and Unistall Itunes From My Computer I Went To "Add or Remove Programs" and Clicked Itunes "Change/Remove" and nothing happen! its still there same thing for quicktime and im trying to unistalled them because i dont have any were in my computer to click itunes to open! so its like i dont even have it but i cant download it till i remove that one on the add or remove program section but i cant because nothing happens CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REMOVE ITUNES! FROM THAT LIST!

    Well, you can do what I did. You can click onto "Start" and then "My Computer". From there, click onto Hard Disc Drive "C". A window will open that shows the folders that are present. Click onto "Program Files" and then another window will open. You should see both I-Tunes and Quicktime there. Right click onto each one and then click "Delete". That should work. When it's done, restart your computer.
    If it doesn't work, hit the "control/alt/delete" keys at the same time and select "Processes". If they show up there, delete them from that list first and then repeat the above procedure.
    Good luck. By the way, check out my post on "People with Problems, Read here". You'll find that there's many of us here that cannot make our I-Pod's work correctly because the software for them is HORRIBLE!

  • HELP I cant install itunes 10.5 on Vista

    My husband is going to kill me...I was trying to update iTunes so I could update my iPad and I kept getting the same error message, "The installer has insufficient priviledges to modify this file: C\programfile\apple software update\softwareupdate.resources\software update.tiff" So  I stupidly uninstalled iTunes and now it won't reinstall - I get the same error message. I don't know what to do! I attempted to uninstall the Apple Software Update program as well but I kept getting error messages telling me I don't have permission...  I'm about ready to panic.... Our computer has Vista running on it...

    Hello Vista People!  It has taken me an entire day to fix the problem that NOT A SINGLE POST clearly answered the issue of "cant install iTunes 10.5" on my vista machine.  Or worse yet, the problem I was getting was a Windows Installer error.  What I discovered was that there was a corrupted Apple Software Update program.  When I did as so many have suggested, and uninstalled all the Apple products, and then reinstalled, and was unable to get a iTunes 10.5 to install.  The key to notice if you have this problem is that when you look in the Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features, you will notice that Apple Software Update is showing, but there is no "publisher"....there is a file size, about 2.5 mb for me (yours could be different).  And when you right clicked or 'selected' the program in the the "uninstall or change a program" mode in the Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features you would not get anything to do.  You couldnt uninstall it.  So after uninstalling and reinstalling repeatedly, I noticed that the Apple Software Update simply was not able to be 'changed'.  So, I downloaded from Microsoft "Fixit" the program called:  Microsoftfixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.run.exe  found here:  http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall  I then ran this program and when asked how I wanted it to work, I selected the equivalent of "Let me" make the decisions, (Not the automatic fix) and then selected that I wanted to "Uninstall".  When it finished running, it gave me a list of programs to 'uninstall' and I selected Apple Software Update.  When it completed, I checked the Control Panel>Programs and Apple Software Update was gone.  Once it was gone, I was able to install iTunes 10.5 without a problem, and better yet, I also noticed after the installation, in the Control Panel>Programs Apple Software Update was listed with a Publisher.  Now everything works.  I believe there is some issue with Vista corrupting the Apple Software Update software during the uninstall process and Windows Installer doesn't deal with it correctly.  I hope at least one other person can benefit from this, because NOWHERE did anyone do, suggest or clearly advise on how this was to be done. 

  • CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REOVE ITUNES!

    How Can I Remove and Unistall Itunes From My Computer I Went To "Add or Remove Programs" and Clicked Itunes "Change/Remove" and nothing happen! its still there same thing for quicktime and im trying to unistalled them because i dont have any were in my computer to click itunes to open! so its like i dont even have it but i cant download it till i remove that one on the add or remove program section but i cant because nothing happens CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REOVE ITUNES!

    let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
