  • Hello i am having trouble installing itunes 10.5 on my laptop i have windows vista. it says error 7 windows error 998. i now have no itunes. i have tried to uninstall itunes but it still wont work and keep coming up with that message. please help!

    hello
    i am having major trouble installing itunes. i had itunes working fine and i went to update it as it told me there was an update which i thought i did. i went on my laptop the next day and it said "itunes was not installed correctly error 7 windows error 998"
    i read a few articles on here but i am having no joy. i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and that did not work. i also unistalled some other apple things cant remember the names sorry!
    i am not a whiz on a computer so really need some help please!!

    Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
    Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
    Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
    I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
    itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
    A search of these forums will show some threads.
    I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
    I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
    Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
    Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

  • Trouble installing itunes - 'cant remove older version'

    i had trouble installing itunes recently. i think i may have been installing it earlier when my computer ran out of battery half way through or crashed or something.
    the error i get seems to have to do with removing an older verion of itunes (i think one of the last verison 5's, i have not updated in a while ) i checked the folders that apple semi-secretly caches with install/uninstall files and found only quicktime install files present, no itunes.
    help please? i cant sync my ipod now :-\

    Glad you got it going!
    You only need that mobile support program if you have an iTouch or iPhone:

    I've uninstalled it.

  • Trouble installing itunes -itunessetup.exe is not a valid win32 application

    I have trouble installing itunes. The following message appears: C:\Documents and Setting\Owner\My Documents\ itunsSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I tried the following but I still have problems: remove previous version of itunes, remove quicktime, install again quicktime as a standalone, delete temporary files, restart computer, delete all itunes related files.

    Finally an answer from Apple:
    Dear Stefanie,
    I understand that you're receiving an error when trying to open the iTunes
    installer that you downloaded. I'd like to try to help you resolve this issue.
    It appears that your web browser may be truncating your download of the iTunes
    software. I urge you to try using a different web browser to download iTunes. If
    this is not possible, you can also try using a different computer to download
    iTunes, and then transfer the iTunes installer file (iTunesSetup.exe) to your
    original computer and open it from there.
    Some transfer options would include using your iPod to transfer the file via
    hard disk mode, using a local network, burning a CD, using an external hard disk
    or a USB drive, or even sending the file to yourself via email or over an
    instant messaging network.
    I hope this information helps to resolve your iTunes installation issue. If it
    does not and you still need assistance from Apple, you will need to call Apple
    technical support (there may be a fee associated with the call). To find the
    appropriate phone number, please visit:

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80070BC9, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • Trouble installing iTunes 10.7

    I am having a bit of trouble getting iTunes 10.7 to install. I am running OSX 10.6.8 and meet all the software requirements.
    Software updates from finder show 10.7 update in my list, but won't complete installation.
    I have even attempted to download from Apple Website, but installer gets stuck in the "validating packages" stage.  Current iTunes v10.6.3 indicates that it is the latest version when trying to search for updates through the iTunes application.
    Any help is appreciated.

    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install".
    What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)
