Strange iTunes Installer Problem, Need Serious Help

I just recently had no choice but to do a destructive recovery of my pc. I am now re-downloading all of my old software and I got to iTunes. I can download the installer just fine. But when I try to run the installer, after opening it and clicking run, I get the hour glass for about 40 seconds, then I get "iTunes Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." iTunes is a necessity for me, so can someone please help me?

Yes, that's quite a rare one conor. It seems to be associated with "silent" installer failures, and the "invalid signature" and "unknown publisher" error messages. In those cases, most often the installers seem to have been getting damaged during the download to the PC.
Checking on simpler possibilities first. Have you been downloading the installer from the Apple website?
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If so, does it make any difference if you do the download with (say) Firefox rather than IE (or vice versa)?

  • Cold boot problem with X-FI Fata1ty card... Need serious help!

    Hey guys:
    I just finished upgrading my computer. Realized that I have a cold boot problem. In order to identify the source of problem. I began the following test.
    . Remove everything except, cpu, heatsink, ram, video card. Tried to boot with those devices. => No cold boot problem.
    2. Install the rest of the ram sticks (I have 4 x 52 in total). => No cold boot problem.
    3. Install the other video card (my setup is 7900gtx in SLI) => No cold boot problem.
    4. Install the Creative X-FI Fataty card. => COLD BOOT PROBLEM
    Once the computer is shut down via the front power switch on the case, the computer will not boot again. To boot the computer, I need to switch off the main power switch on the back of the psu and switch it back on; then turn on the computer via the front power switch on the case. I tried the problem with and without the sound card. Whenever the sound card is installed. There is the problem. If there is no that sound card in my rig, then there won't be any cold-boot problem.
    My rig specs:
    DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR Venus
    AMD Opteron 65 CCBE 609 - Stock speed
    4 x 52 MB G.Skill Samsung TCCD LE 2.85V DDR 400
    CPU Cooling - Tuniq tower 20
    2 x EVGA 7900 GTX Stock - SLI
    3 x WD Raptor 74G RAID-0 SATA (-3) 0000 rpm (System)
    x Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 60Gb 7200RPM NCQ SATA - 4 (Backup)
    Pioneer Black DVR 0 DVD+/-RW - IDE /0
    Lian-li PC-V 200B Plus-2 with little case mod
    OCZ GameXstream 600W
    Creative Fatalty Sound Card w/ Front Panel
    Logitech Z5500 5. speakers
    I need serious help. This problem is so annoying.
    Tnanks and will greatly appreciate it.Message Edited by White_Hair on 0-27-200605:4 PM

    The onboard sound is disabled. Unfortunately I sold the Seasonic PSU to my friend. The OCZ GameXStream is suppose to be the higher grade psu than Seasonic PSU. Also, the cold boot problem only exists if the sound card is plugged to the motherboard. I tried change different pci slot. It doesn't seem to help the problem. Thanks for the reply Message Edited by White_Hair on 2-02-200606:07 AM

  • I lost all email 6months and older in mac mail. Need Serious Help!

    I lost all email 6 months and older in mac mail. In my in-box as a well as all other folders I created. I expected that the mac email software would keep all email as it did for me in when I used to use Outlook. As well I thought I was covered with the Time Machine I have installed. Well.....The Time Machine that I was aggressively encouraged to buy apparently doesn't back up email. If it does, I must need some secret decoder ring to unlock where it is. I need serious help. I lost months of professional and personal data. I need to fix this immediately and find some way to get my email back. Please help.

    In March when I upgraded to Lion and iCloud I also experienced a similar problem (cluster of problems) which was solved by a password reset (conforming to new requirements) for my Apple ID. I'm glad to see that many nice people contributed and your primary problem is fixed.  My comment is on your Quicken problem.
    Your data inside Quicken 2004 is on borrowed time.  In the process of researching personal budgeting apps I found many reports on the web that indicate Intuit as a company is scaling down Quicken (desktop) development and its future attention to the Mac platform will be minimal.
    Did you know that Intuit is behind Mint.com?  You may be hesitant to put your financial data "in the cloud" and I may be being sheepish, but.. bbaaaa, bbaaaaa, the cloud is where it's going.  I know first-hand want a pain in the arse it is to customize an app to your liking.  I spent several hours on Mint.com setting up categories and tagging transactions.  It's tedious. I didn't look because I wasn't a Quicken user, but perhaps Intuit was nice enough to provide a data conversion path for Mint.com.  It is worth a look.
    My second suggestion is to scour the web for a hack solution.  You can't be the only person who is facing this problem.  Quicken was very popular.  I just bet someone has posted directions or some code for exporting the Quicken 2004 data and manipulating it for something else.
    Good Luck.

  • I need serious help please.. We do translations of schoolbooks, I looked for an over-type function but were unable to find, we are working in indesign CS 5. it takes up allot of time to delete text and type in the new language.

    I need serious help please.. We do translations of schoolbooks, I looked for an over-type function but were unable to find, we are working in indesign CS 5. it takes up allot of time to delete text and type in the new language.

    Argh that's frustrating! I never noticed that key did not work in InDesign.
    A bit of research and it turns out the MS Office has this as an option in their software. But I cannot find an option in InDesign preferences to make this work.
    However, somethings are not listed in the shortcuts and preferences and are hidden triggers in InDesign which can be accessed through a script.
    I'm not saying it's possible to activate the Insert Key through a script, but it's plausible that it can be activated.
    Maybe ask on the scripting forum? InDesign Scripting
    I know this may be a possibility as with InDesign's earlier versions of PDF export to interactive documents there previously was no way to export interactive pdfs as single pages if in Spreads.
    But the option to toggle this setting was scriptable.

    Hello,
    sorry to ask you directly to help me but I'm in trouble with my mobo.
    My Pc is:

    I opened my Pc and put out the Seitec memory that I had to test the Xms memory. They went really good. Then I tried to put them together
    but the computer didn't finish the boot process, it booted until the Win xp logon, so i tried to change the memory slots where the memory
    were placed but nothing happened until when i mounted on the pc only the XMS2700 CL2 Memory module that funcioned before.
    The computer didn't boot.The I saw that the leds on the D-bracket were all red, that means the Cpu is damaged or not installed properly.
    I tried with the other memory stick but same problem.
    Please help me as soon as you can.
    Thanks ;(

    My dam computer technician before I could ***l him what mobo

  • Getting this 'glitched' music off of my iPod. Really need serious help.

    Ok, so here goes the story. 2nd gen ipod, 16GB. this just randomly happened- around a week after i homeshared with my friend and bought some new music.
    THERE ARE NO DUPLICATES IN MY LIBRARY CONCERNING THIS MUSIC!!!
    Around a week ago, I bought the album Moulin Rouge. I bought it with a gift card on he computer, then re-bought it on my ipod (a mistake, I know) It was completely normal, played normally, no problems. Far before this, I got a song from inception off of itunes, (we built our own world). It was also normal, save the fact that there was a sound at the beginning of it every time it played- like a clap. It started doubling before the moulin did.
    The album and song are now behaving oddly. They are doubling themselves up. Like, when I have the Moulin album checked, two of each song pop up in the album. then when I uncheck the album, there still remains the whole album; so it seems there are two copies, one glitched stuck on my ipod, one normal from itunes. Moulin also has very weird ******** album art; the art is like a genius mix cover with another random album. Both of these symptoms are the same with the inception song.
    And also, sometimes the moulin picks up random cover art from completely different albums, cover art I have added to songs I have gotten from limewire (NONE OF THE LIMEWIRE SONGS I GOT ARE GLITCHED OR BEHAVING ODDLY)
    So, I have reset my iPod several times. I plugged my ipod in, wen under the music tab, and unchecked the 'Sync Music' box. So now the only music that is on my ipod is the weird, glitch music that doesn't seem to be originating from my iTunes library.
    I don't even know if restoring my ipod will work with this. I have absolutely no ay of getting this music off my ipod. The 'regular' versions of the song + album are behaving fine, I can still listen to everything on my library.
    Please help me. I need to get this iPod through a month or so more, and it just really annoys me to have something like this. I know I can simply create playlists and listen from there, but I kinda need to have my music organized.

    For non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • ITunes Installation Problems!

    I have tried several times to re-install iTunes over the past several weeks. The problem seemed to start when I move the iTunes folder to another external drive. (Due to disk space.) Since that time I've been unable to uninstall and re-install the software.
    The QuickTime software seemed to be the problem at first but is working fine now.
    The error messages I get now are: "Error 1714. The older version of iTunes can't be removed. Contact your technical support group."
    Which is then followed by another error message: "Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm)or MSDN for more information."
    I can't seem to find a solution to this problem, which means my iPods can't be updated on the computer that I prefer to use.
    Please Advise!

    okay, let's try enlisting some additional technical help:
    let's try getting a installer log to someone who can interpret installer logs.
    Start menu -> Run... In the text field of the dialog that comes up, type in "cmd" and hit return.
    In the command prompt dialog that comes up, find the iTunes installer on your desktop and drag it to this window. Then on the same line type in a space and then the following:
    /Verbose"c:\log.txt" /V"ENABLE_QTLOGGING=TRUE"
    There is no space between the e in Verbose and the double quote ("). There is no space between the V"Enable...
    Hit return.
    The installer will create two log files:
    C:\log.txt and C:\qt.log
    Find those files and send them to this email address Put the URL to this discussion thread into the email, so that the person who gets it has some context. Let them know the version of itunes you’re trying to install, too … in general, give as much info as you can.
    love, b

  • Getting attachments and emails need serious help!!

    I am not sure if I am doing this right, but I am trying to receive emails from gmail, and I am having some serious problems. For some reason I get four emails and then I get a null exception. I have been through my code a dozen times and I cannot find the problem. Here is my code:     try{
                        Properties props = new Properties();

                             System.err.println("Exception900: " +t.getMessage());
    I get the body fine, and what I am trying to do is when I get all of my information is to put this into the inmails vector and then update my table. That works but I am only gettting four of thirty emails. Also when it comes to attachments do I need to set up a mime type for every possible attachment that will come? I need some serious help!

    I guess I am seriously confused then....I tried doing the tutorial from jguru on sun's site and this was how the code was set up. At least I think it is....I pretty much have no idea what I am doing. I mean the code as it stands will get the emails, and by the way this is for an application not for a server or anything. So should I check for it to be just plain text first and then find out if there is a multipart. There is not really any good tutorials that explain what it is I am trying to accomplish. Please help!

  • Win XP iTunes installation problems

    Please please help!
    I've tried everything and I'm going to start pulling out my hair shortly!
    I've just purchased an iPod Touch for me and a nano for my girlfriend - but we can't use them as iTunes won't install.
    I've installed iTunes as per normal - it created a shortcut on my desk top but then when clicking on it for the first time it pops up the following message:
    *iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.*
    *We are sorry for the inconvenience.*
    This message has the Send Error Report option, which I click - it takes me to Microsofts Error reporting page which gives me the following details:
    *Download updates for iTunes*
    *This problem was caused by iTunes. iTunes was created by Apple Inc..*
    Solution
    *A newer version of iTunes is available for download that will address this problem. Apple Inc. recommends updating to the latest version of iTunes to take advantage of security and stability improvements.*
    This information is incorrect. I have iTunes 7.5.
    I cannot justify the fact that I can't use these two new toys because Apples software won't install .
    Please help me! Back at work tomorrow and the commute minus music will be hellish.
    Jamie

    I have done a system restore as I think I ruined something prior to this original question.. I now have the classic error:
    *The folder iTunes cannot be found or created*
    I had previously tried other forums to help fix my issue but alas the problem I previously had happened.
    Thus I am back at The iTunes folder problem.
    could someone please point me toward a quick solution?
    Thanks!!!

  • Need serious help with my Zen Microphoto

    My Zen Microphoto controls are messed up. evrytime i try to use the vertical pad it actually forwards me to the next song. When i press back to return to the previous menu, instead of doing that it played music that i did not even select?
    I REALLY need some help here!!! Its a new Zen Microphoto bought only for a month....

    What did you do to control the senstivity of the touchpad. Do you set it to low or med or high I tried all, it is very upsetting not to be able to master something as simple as this. I love the player I just got it yesterday the sound is beautifull although I accidently had it turn to high when it started to play.
    Need a reply
    thanks:womanwink:

  • Battery Recall (Need Serious Help)

    Hi all,
    I have a Black Macbook (July 06).
    My battery for the last 3 weeks has been horrid. My computer lasts a total of 1.5 hours under min. brightness and no serious workload. And the worst part is, it just shuts off, doesn't sleep when it gets low. Just totally turns off.
    Now my cycle count is at 299 and I have no idea what to do with this thing. I took it out of my computer because I honestly believe I deserve a replacement.
    So I called my local service center here in Lebanon (middle east) and this is what they told me.
    Since I purchased my Macbook from Canada (I had to move to Lebanon in August 06) they cannnot, and will not replace my battery for me. Even if I requested to pay the shipping charges.
    Is there any help for me? I feel they are shafting me because they've done this with my iBook which had the recall battery fire issue. And another iBook which had a manufacturer defect. In anycase, those I fixed when I went back to Canada. But I can't keep these 299 cycles forever! Can someone seriously help me here?

    I know, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
    Maybe you know of an email where I can send my complaint? Because all I can find are 1800 numbers that don't connect when dialing internationally.

  • I need serious help with my nano!!

    So I was running the lastest iPod updater tool from Apple and I hit restore. The line went all the way then it said factory settings have been restored, although both the restore and update buttons were blacked out in the updater tool. The iPod never restarted like its supposed to when you restore it, it just kept on blinking do not disconnect. So I held down menu and the center button to manually restart it. It restarted in black and while blinking do not disconnect. The iPod updater program froze. I went to my computer and it said something like "Removable device" instead of "Andrew's iPod" and I clicked on it and it said it had to be formated. I hit no and then clicked "safely disconnect" and safely disconnected the iPod. I unplugged it and it showed a check mark saying "ok to disconnect". So then I disconnected to cable and it showed some battery ion then shut off. That makes no sense because it had been sharging for hours prior to this. Now when I plug it in it doesn't do anything. Nothing shows up on the iPod and I hit every button and nothing happens. The computer doesn't recognize anything. I need some help big time.

    figured it out myself

  • Hi :) i need serious help! apparently, my country (Iran) isn't I'm the provided list of countries  when i want to complete my Apple ID info, and since it's incomplete Apple Store and iTunes keep telling me i need to review my account and can't use it

    Okay, so here is the problem:
         Since my account information is incomplete cause Iran isn't a country in the list (!!!) I am not able to add my address or anything and so I can't use neither App Store nor iTunes cuz they keeps telling me to review my info and i can't so they won't work and I'm literally stuck because what can i do without them!!

    that's true and I'm fully aware of it, but the thing is that I'm not asking for company's support inside the country! I just need to be able to register thoroughly so i can download apps and buy music...it's an issue which could be fixed online! Apple has so many customers here in Iran and this is the least help the company can provide those who have paid them, but are not able to receive any support from the company, currently, in their own country.
    At every store around the corner here in Iran i can make a fake Apple ID, that would work, only with the help of a teenager. But i thought it would be much better if the problem could be solved from the root. i really think this should be discussed by those in charge
