The latest itunes for windows will not install

I have an old PC running windows and I want to transfer my itunes songs to my ipad. I can't do this until I update iTunes but trying to update does nothing, either from iTunes or from the web page. I've tried rebooting the PC, still doesn't work. How do I get iTunes to update? Or, how do I transfer to the iPad without updating? The version of iTunes I have is older than 10.5, not sure where to find version #. Thanks!

Hi b noir, thanks for offering to help. i documented the whole process:
Itunes transfer from pc to ipad.
1. Connect ipad to PC 
2. Pc recognizes ipad as a camera, gives me list of programs to launch, not sure if this has any relevance, no itunes on list, instead its kodak easyshare, ms doc wizard, ms camera sharing, ms word,mp navagator ex, omnipage, photoshop - I ignore this screen
3. Launch itunes, get screen, "ipad requires v 10.5 or later' go to itunes.com. I click ok
4. I get screen, still in itunes, "a new version (10.7) is available." I click download.
5. That screen goes away but nothing happens. No download starts.
6. Checked itunes folder on my hard drive, no sign that anything new has downloaded
7. Launch safari, go to itunes.com, hit download button
8. Nothing seems to be happening.
9. I get "thank you for downloading itunes" screen.
10. Still nothing new in itunes folder.
11. Get AVG screen telling me to restart my pc to finish download process.
12. During shutdown, I get screen,"the instruction at 0x100066dd referenced memory at 0x100066dd. The instruction could not be read." Gave me options to terminate program or debug. I did not choose either. No idea if this is relevant.
13. PC rebooted anyway.
14. Launched itunes
15. Got same message as before - "ipad requires v 10.5 or later' go to itunes.com. I click ok 
16. Even though ipad is plugged in all this time, the screen that thinks the ipad is a camera does not come up this time.
17. There is nothing to the left of the itunes interface that lists devices - this is where ipad would appear, right?
18. Ipad appears on My Computer control panel
19. My version of itunes is 10.3.1.55
20. In itunes, i go to Help - Run Diagnostics - run all but Cd/Dvdtest
21. Secure Link to Itunes store failed, everything before that is ok. I click Help. nothing happens. Store appears in itunes so I don't see why this would fail.
22. Since help doesn't work, I move on in test. Two more fail screens: itunes helper not running, no ipad found. help brings up appropriate pages for both. Both recommend removing and reinstalling itunes.
23. Device sync also fails.
If it would be quickest to delete and reinstall itunes, I am willing to do that. My music would not be deleted correct? What about playlists (not as important to me).
I also have all my music backed up to CD. It would be tedious to copy that all to ipad, but if there is a way to do it and no other option, I could do that.

  • Itunes for windows will not install

    SInce Christmas, I have tried installing iTunes for my Ipod shuffle. I have NIS and I've followed some instructions I found on a thread to add itunes and ipod into my programs and "permit all"- that usually freezes the computer. I wind up sending error reports to windows and cold booting the computor. I think I successfully installed both itunes and ipod into My Computer/Downloads. However- - neither via shortcut on my desktop or thru programs can I access itunes. The icon is there, and nothing happens. I am pretty sure it has to do wit NIS. In one instance I did try disabling the security and firewall features- but a lot of crap got onto my desktop. help!

    Kellie,
    remind me, did you try an EWIDO scan? Sounds like a malware problem to me. Go download EWIDO, its free and the only program that I know of that is catching the particular variant of malware that is blocking iTunes. Its a nasty bug that started showing up in October or so.
    The website is www.ewido.net/en/
    Use that scan about twice a week. It blows Mcafee and Norton out of the water.
    Good Luck.
    PS I recommend picking up LsvaSoft's AdAware SE, its free and available for free downloads on their website. It scans and removes spyware. Use that twice a week as well to maintain a healthy PC.

  • Hi, Need help. I am trying to download the latest iTunes for Windows application but on running the program it says that it can not be completed as it can not find the folder location of the file "iTunes.msi" . Any clues would be appreciated

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I am unable to install the latest iTunes for Windows.

    I get an error message that it is trying to open c: runtime incorrectly.  So now I am unable to run iTunes on my Windows 7 machine, and get access to my 30,000 songs.  Help!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • ITunes for Windows will not play the next song in the list

    Hello,
    I cannot get iTunes to play the next song in my list (general list, not a playlist). The random icon and/or repeat icon is not blue. Every time I press the next button (two arrows to the right), it picks another song from my list, instead of the one that is directly beneath the one that is playing.
    I have iTunes version 11.0.1.12.
    Has anyone have this happen before and how did you solve it? Thank you for all your replies.

  • Unable to Burn CDs in iTunes for Windows: (Will not fit, but it should.)

    I am attempting to fix an issue with a friend's iTunes for Windows. Although previously this computer using this media was able to burn audio CDs through iTunes, recently, an error has appeared before any burn. When loading the proper amount of time to fit on a CD, iTunes claims:
    "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD"
    "Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them?"
    "This will require more than one CD to complete."
    When running CD Diagnostics, I receive the following information:

  • Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

    Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation.  Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled.  I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

    the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

  • Idownloaded the latest itunes for windows and it just does not sync and every time I connect the iPhone 5 the agreement comes up first.  Help please.

    I have had nothing but trouble with syncing my iPhone 5 with iTunes.  I have installed the latest version of each and worked with support but no solution.  Currently when I connect the iPhone the Terms and conditions appear every time, I agree and sometimes there is a sync and sometimes not.  It also tells me I have 5 conflicts but looking at Outlook and the phone there is no conflict. If you tell the system to correct the conflicts it gives a message it cannot access the conflict server.  I am running Windows 7.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Make sure you have your data backed up, then reset sync services per the instructions below.
    OS X: Resetting Sync Services
    This should take care of the iTunes issue.

  • ITunes for Windows will not start

    I recently did a complete system restore and as part of my restore, downloaded a up-to-date copy of iTunes and installed it. The problem arises when I try to start the application. I don't get a Windows error message as one might expect. Instead I get the Windows request box asking whether or not I wish to submit the problem to Microsoft. Regardless of which option I chose, the box eventually disappears but no iTunes!!
    I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling iTunes as well as clearing all traces of iTunes from my registery/computer files then reinstalling but to no avail. How can I get a clean install of iTunes that will actually run??
    Thanks -- Rockey
    P.S. Once I get iTunes successfully installed and plug in my iPOD, will all the music on my iPOD be automatically erased?? In my recent restore I did loose all my computer-based music files.

    You might try the method in this article on Trouble Installing iTunes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    Start at: "Important: A majority of customers..."
    This should allow you to completely remove the previous installation attemps.
    For some reason installing the stand alone Quicktime seems to help in some cases.
    iTunes can't work if Quicktime doen't run so it is important to be sure Quicktime is OK first.
    Then there is this article on trouble shooting iTunes launch failures:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
    The other thing is that if you done a complete Windows reinstall back to the factory settings, have you made sure you have the latest drivers and updates?
