Surprise suprise! Can't install itunes to my win7 64-bit...help!

So I got a brand new Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 7 64-bit for Christmas and it won't let me install itunes. I keep getting the message:
"The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
Your System has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again."
any ideas?

  • TS1829 Can't install iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit system

    I get this message: "errors occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured" while trying to install iTunes 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit. Tried turning windows Defender and running it but same result. Itunes worked fine on Vista, but since going to Win 7, no luck. Can't update iPhone or anything :-(

    Are there any special charaters in your user name? I know that has caused issues in the past. You might need to contact Adobe support for this one.

  • Can not install itunes on window 7 64 bit

    When ever I try to install itunes 10.6.3, I receive a message "the installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured....errors occured during installation".  I have attempted to install itunes using the "download only" method.  I have also uninstalled all previous versions of the software but nothing works. Help!!!!

    An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\com.apple.Safari.client.resources\pt.lproj
    So after I have to hit cancel I get another message saying basically error code 2330.
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • I can't install itunes to windows 7 64 bit because of computing space requirements

    I tried to install iTunes 10.7 on my computer but it stops when the installation says :computing space requirements. Then it just says "rolling back action", "the installation was unsuccessful". I don't know what's going on because I have more than 40 GB of free space on my hard disk drive. I also tried with an older version of iTunes but it keeps doing the same thing.

    Having the installer quit at that particular moment is consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.

  • Can't Install Itunes 8.2 Vista 32 bit

    I have used Itunes for the past two yrs on this machine with no problems till this recent version of itunes was released. I have had nothing but problems trying to install. Running windows Vista Home...I keep reaching a point in the install and I get an error message that reads "The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: *C: \Program Files\ipod\bin\ipodService.Resources\res.lproj\iPodSerceLocalized.dll." This is my home computer, I am the only user ID, so I am the admin. To trouble shoot I have installed all microsoft updates, uninstalled all Itunes and apple software, made sure all firewall software has been turned off, and no luck. I have even tried going into programs and deleting the Itunes folder after the uninstall and I get another message saying "You need permission to perform this action". Contacted apple for support and other than suggesting I uninstal Itunes, then reinstall, they were no help and directed me to microsoft. Microsoft has pushed back and said "Itunes is 3rd party software and you must get help from apple". I'm stuck....can anyone help????

    All I can say is make sure you are the administrator and if not right-click on the installation program and click "Run as Administrator", and delete all traces of iTunes off the computer, i.e. delete the folder C:\Program Files\ipod as you say. Make sure it is the latest version of iTunes and is for Windows Vista (not XP). Another thing to point out is to make sure your Computer is compatible with iTunes 8.2 (perhaps try installing iTunes 8.0/8.1 by searching for the link in Google).
    If you have done all of that and it still does not install then I do not know what is wrong. As iTunes is one of the many applications i use 24/7 (pretty much) and I use it all the time, I would try installing it on a similar Windows Machine with a similar configuration and it works, I would reinstall Windows on your personal computer. If not, take the case further as I cannot think of anything else that could be wrong, so long as you have not edited the installation program or anything Good luck.

  • Can't install Itunes 64 on Vista 64 bit OS

    Bought an Ipod Touch. Downloaded iTunes64. On install I get an iTunes + QuickTime error "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode (not), or if the Windows Installer is not installed correctly. Contact your support personnel for assistance"
    HP Support(3 hrs), Microsoft Support(none), and Apple Support(2 hrs) unable to diagnose and offer fix. Any one had this error and successfully installed iTunes 64 on 64 bit Vista?
    AKWilder

    Excellent news, AK! Glad the HP chap was able to fix things for you.
    Our flight to New Zealand will be from San Francisco to Sydney, then to Auckland
    Ahhhh ... the long one ... Actually the issue I was wondering about would hit on LA-to-Auckland as well, but looking at the features on the Touches, a full charge apparently only gives you a maximum of 6 hours video playback:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/features/
    ... so it might be worth getting a battery-pack of some description as well?
    I haven't used it myself so can't vouch for it from personal experience (actually, I've never used a battery pack with an iPod), but there's a Kensington model I can see in the online Apple Store that claims it will give you up to 21 hours of video playback:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR823LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTA4NDYwODk
    Thinking that with both that and the ipod fully charged, that might get you all the way from Florida to Auckland. (Best to do some "comparison shopping" of your own, though, before getting something like that ... I'm no expert on what would constitute the best deal for you.)

  • Can't Install Itunes on Windows 7 64-bit due to unwanted updater

    OK, so I've known for years that Apple puts a WHOLE lot of crap on your computer when you install Itunes.  It asks you specifically if you want to automatically update Apple software, and no matter how hard you click the NO box, it puts the apple updater there anyway.
    I just purchased my first piece of Apple hardware, namely an iPod touch, and due to this failure of Apple to respect my software wishes, it turns out I've wasted my money because the Apple Software Updater fails to install due to security restrictions.
    I run the Itunes installer as administrator.  I have given full rights to my logged in Windows user to every folder related to Apple in the Program Data folder.  I have spent a couple of hours trying every fix that is availalble in the Apple forums and the Microsoft forums, to no avail.
    Seems to me the BEST fix is for Apple to drop the arrogance of forcing me to install the Apple updater in the first place, and trust me to know when I want to download a newer version of Itunes.
    This is not the first time I've seen this happen with 64-bit versions of Windows.   My guess is that I'll have to extract the Itunes app from the itunes.exe installer, and hopefully be able to install only the software I want.  But at the moment I'm kind of peeved that I have to jump through those hoops, and of course, it's entirely possible that won't work at all either.  And of course, without iTunes, the iPod touch is completely useless.

    Are there any special charaters in your user name? I know that has caused issues in the past. You might need to contact Adobe support for this one.

  • Can't install itunes on windows vista 64 bit

    I'm trying to install itunes on a windows vista 64 bit machine but keep getting the error message "could not access network location %appdata%\." Does anybody know what is the matter?

    could not access network location %appdata%\
    It looks like it's having trouble getting one of the iTunes preference files in. There's a couple in each user account (usually in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes).
    Has a version of iTunes previously been successfully installed on that PC? If so, was it working properly prior to your doing the current installs?
    What hard drive is your "Users" folder on? Is it the C drive or somewhere else?
    If it's somewhere else, are your Program files also on that other drive or are they on the C drive?

  • Can't install iTunes 12.0 on 32-bit Windows XP

    I recently successfully upgraded my iPhone to IOS 8.  When I tried to connect the phone to iTunes 11.1.5.5 on my 32-bit Windows XP laptop, I got a message that I needed to have iTunes 11.2 or higher.  Following the upgrade download link, I kept getting to the download request but never to a file save dialog.  I talked with support a couple of times, but all links they gave me to various version of iTunes did not work (either they were for 11.1.5.5 or 64-bit 12.0). I managed to find a link to 12.0 that did not specify word size, but it turned out to be a 64-bit version that would not install.
    Where can I find a 32-bit version of iTunes 12.0 that works with Windows XP?

    See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required.
