Problem downloading itunes using IE8. Registry problem with iTunesSetup.exe file

I am trying to install iTunes and have come up against the Registry problem and Windows saying the file needs a signature.  I have tried deleting the browsing history and searching and deleting all copies of the iTunesSetup.exe file.  I have even begun again with QuickTime.  All to no avail.
I'm using Windows XP.
Does anyone have any further ideas for this problem please?
Thank you!!

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    I have a tiny problem that is driving me mad. When I am playing an album in iTunes using cover flow view (with the playlist beneath the artwork picture) the  picture is exactly above the album title. All is symmetrical. When I switch to full screen display, the artwork moves a couple of inches to the left and the display is therefore asymmetrical. Why and how do I correct it? It would drive you mad to.
    Thanks for any help,

    I was having the same problem, but tried the "Top Button + Home Button" reset and that did work for me. My unofficial guess is that perhaps RAM caches get filled through daily use of various apps leaving no memory for cover flow. Resetting the phone on the phone itself seems to reset that RAM. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it solved my issue. Hope this helps.

  • Problems downloading iTunes to Windows Vista

    Has anyone had problems downloading iTunes to Windows Vista. If you have what problems have you experienced, and how do you fix it?

    If you want your own problem(s) fixed, it would be easier and quicker to post it and what you have tried to resolve it.

  • Hi, Im having a problem downloading itunes 10.5

    Im having a problem downloading itune 10.5 and an error message comes up saying "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." what do I do? I need to download this otherwise I cant connect my ipod touch to itunes.

    Try postings/searching in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem not an iPod problem.  Ther have been recent posts with your problem so you should be able to find an solution.

  • HT1222 Has anyone else have a problem downloading iTunes 11.1.4?????

    Has anyone got a problem downloading iTunes 11.1.4???

    Hi There. I had same problem. Go through Apple Support by phone ( no I am not an Apple person) you can leave your phone number, in minutes they call you back. Had great guy in Manilla "take over" my computer. It did take an hour but go along with it. It does work. You will uninstall I Tunes with no loss of recordings etc - guaranteed!
    and re-install. Don't stress, for once Apple got it right. Appears that this update is faulty and there are issue's It's not your computer. Beware you may have got a sneeky download of MobileMe Services. May have been just incidental to main issue. If you do get it (it's not Microsoft Windows-It is an Apple Inc product) get rid of it, Uninstall otherwise it will slow things down including Outlook
    Good Luck

  • Problem downloading iTune Store tracks on NAS - "Connection Timed Out"

    I am having a problem downloading iTune Store tracks on NAS - "Connection Timed Out"
    I am trying to use the following for my "iTunes Music Location" - \\Nas1\media\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    However, when I try to purchase music, I receive the following message:
    "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, then try again."
    I can purchase songs, the song will begin to download, the appropriate files and folders will be created on the NAS (I can see them), it seems to make two tries to complete the download, then stops, and show me that message.
    My network connection (DSL) is fine, and the network is up.
    Anything I can do? Is it possible to store iTunes on the NAS, or do I have to set it up to store purchases locally?
    Thanks

    ok..so i tried to "upgrade" itunes so i could update my iphone and kept getting an error message, so i thought uninstalling then reinstalling would be wise. little did i know that when i went back onto itunes.com an clicked on download itunes that when the security warning popped up where you have the option to run, save, or cancel that it was going to be a pain in my butt...cant click on run to install because if i do then it freezes and says "program not responding" then its stuck!! i made sure i unistalled itunes the way apple says to do so but i have no clue what is wrong! someone please help me!!

    clicked on download itunes that when the security warning popped up where you have the option to run, save, or cancel that it was going to be a pain in my butt...cant click on run to install because if i do then it freezes and says "program not responding" then its stuck!!
    Try clicking "save" instead, Mary. Does a copy save on your hard drive? If so, does the installation go through okay when you doubleclick the iTunesSetup.exe file you downloaded?

  • "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported"

    i have a new macbook pro 13" and every 6 minutes or so it pops up a window that says "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported". it never seems to cause any problems but is supremely annoying. how can i make this come to an end?

    I tried someone's solution of taking another external disc and plugging it in, then when it showed up and time machine asked if I wanted to use it or that someone might be trying to trick me, I chose not use it.  Then I  shut down my computer, plugged in the original Lacie, and rebooted the computer and all seems to work fine now-- the Lacie appears on my desktop and all seeems to be in working order. Who knows why or anything else,- as weird as it gets- but for now things seemed fixed--- maybe others can try this too-- it worked for me so far.

  • There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported. OK

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Leopard, but now I keep getting this message when I open some web-pages and every time I wake the Mac up after going to sleep. For some odd reason I get it in Swedish sometimes (installed language) and some times in English...
    There was a problem connecting to the server.
    URLs with the type "file:" are not supported.
    OK
    What is this and how can I get rid of it. I use Firefox and have updated to latest version.

    Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

  • I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:
