Sync error AND can't uninstall AND can't download new iTunes

So last week I tried to add some stuff to my iPod because I hadn't in a while. When I connected it to the computer and opened iTunes, I got an error message about the sync-up.
I got on the 'net to download an iTunes update (10.7 at the time, I believe) to see if that would help. After trying five times, I gave up. Nothing happens when I hit "Download Now." I'm confident it has nothing to do with pop-up blockers or security settings. I double-checked them just to be sure. And it's not like I haven't downloaded other stuff recently.
OK, so I try uninstalling iTunes to see if that helps. Nope; can't do that either. I get a message basically saying I'm not allowed.
I've been about four hours on this problem by now, including scouring online message boards for an explanation. Unfortunately, it seems I'm the only one having all of these problems at once. I'm not sure if this is just iTunes being dumb or if this is part of a larger computer problem I'm having.
Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks. If that's a 64-bit system, try the following user tip:

When plugging in my iPhone to my PC, I get message "The registry settings used by Itunes drivers for importing and burning CD'd and DVD's are missing..." Can I uninstall and reinstall the iTunes app without losing all the tunes I've purchased/loaded?

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Your iTunes folder (normally under ~/Music/iTunes) contains files that tell iTunes what you have in your library, playlists, genres, ...These database files have extensions of .itl and .xml. Deeper in the iTunes folder you have the actual media (movies, songs, tv shows).
Uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes should not impact your iTunes library. It will change iTunes settings like window size, if you have the sidebar turned on, and the like. I do recommend you have a backup of your iTunes folder but at least save copies of your .itl and .xml files.
Your question is a bit cryptic so I'm guessing at your actual question. Good luck.

Can I uninstall and reinstall CC?

Can I uninstall and reinstall CC whilst leaving Lightroom and Photoshop as programs on the PC?
I'm using Windows 8.
CC has a bug or something, as it just opens and freezes with a small red icon in the centre of the page.
Thanks

Inital PS CC install failed, now can't uninstall and retry. CC just wants to update PS and fails repeatedly.

Iphoto wont start and deleted all of my photos. can i uninstall and reinstall iPhoto?

can i uninstall and reinstall my iphoto and will it fix the problem that i have with not being able to import and look at photos?

Of course you can uninstall and reinstall iPhoto - but it Probably will not help at all
But that is only a wild guess since no one has any idea what you have or what your problem is
Lets start with really simple basics - what version of iPhoto do you have? what recently changed or happened that might be related to this? What exactly does "won't start" mean? Why do you "think" iPhoto deleted all of your photos?
Do you have a good current backup? Note that iPhoto does not "delete" photos - users can but iPhoto does not
You sate numourour problems - please describe each and be concise without editorial comments
1 - iPhoto won't start
2 - iPhoto delete all of your photos
3 - iPhoto will not import photos
4 - iPhoto will not let you look at photos

Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

Hi there,
Earlier iTunes (and supporting applications) need to be completely uninstalled before you can install the new version. Here's the complete Apple info on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Mobile device application will most likely fail to uninstall, so you would need to visit its location(s) and manually delete the files then folder(s). The location of the folders is documented in this link from Apple.
It's a pain, but it should work.

How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?

Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?
