Problems with 7.1 install (iTunes.msi missing)

after recently upgrading to 7.1, my itunes wont work anymore.
when clicking on the shortcut it brings up an error message saying
"This operation can only be used for programs that are installed"
I then tried to download a fresh version of 7.1 and tried reinstalling it. It gets to the point in the installation where it removes the old versions so it can replace it with the new version. At that point another error message comes up saying.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below"
i have looked at the other topics in this forum regarding 7.1 installation but all of them tell you to uninstall itunes and reinstall an older version. When i try to uninstall the same error message comes up.
could someone please direct me on what to do
thank you.

with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

    I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10.  When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
    I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
    I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
    Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

  • Any problems with compatibility of update iTunes with OSX 10.7.5

    Has anyone noticed any problems with compatibility of updated iTunes with OSX 10.7.5?

    Okay. At the beginning of this discussion I was on 6.0.1. However, I responded to an update since then and since I didn't realize 6.0.2 wasn't compatible with Lion I responded and updated.
    Now, with your message, a clean 6.0.1 installation sounds like a great idea. However, I've downloaded it from your link and when I install just from the install program, I still have an "About Safari" showing 6.0.2. I then tried setting up a separate Safari folder in the Applications folder and installed into that. I only got some Safari-associated folders and items there but no new Safari app icon... and the Safari 6.0.2 icon (which I hadn't gotten rid of since I don't want to lose my bookmarks, etc... want to transfer those once the 6.0.1 is there) is still there.
    All the hanging-up problems are still happening, btw... and probably even worse. Right now I'm using Camino, a good browser but Safari has features I'd like to get back to... got Firefox, too, and like it, but I've got it set up for other family members to use and Safari here for me.
    Any help on how to get 6.0.1 installed again without losing bookmarks greatly appreciated.

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Problem with trasferring music from itunes to Iphone 3Gs.

    Hi
    I have a problem with trasferring music from Itunes to Iphone and that is,
    as soon as I finish transferring music to my Iphone, Itunes suddenly stops at the stage of where it says (at the top-centre of the screen), 'Sync Min's Iphone'.
    Due to this reason, I've restored my Iphone a couple of times and reinstalled itunes but same problem occurs whenever I try to transfer music.
    It appears music are successfully transfered since I could play the music on my Iphone but I wanna fix the problem since it's pretty annoying.
    is there anything I can do about it?
    Thanks

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2.1?). If so, I'd reinstall iTunes, if the phone is otherwise working fine.

  • Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions did not work

    Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions didn't work.  Spent most of today installing and uninstalling itunes according to their instructions.  They will charge me again if I call again.

    When I run the iTunes64setup.exe it says: "The thingy is not a valid win32 application."
    That generally indicates that the installer has been getting damaged on the download.
    What web browser have you been using for downloading the iTunes64Setup.exe? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?
