TS1629 my computer is not letting me update itunes because "I'm not the administrator" (which I am)

I've been trying to download the latest version of itunes for a couple days now. Everytime I did it, i twould go almost entirely through the download process and right at the end it would say it couldn't finish because i don't have administrator rights.
Last night I decided to see if I could figure out why it was saying that, if some how my settings were changed.
Everything I found, it looked like I was administrator.... this is my first issue
Also, when trying to figure out the admin thing. I ended up deleting my itunes. I tried to restore my computer and bring it back, but only parts of it came back. So I dont know if I need to completely uninstall itunes to be able to reinstall?
But first I have to figure out the admin thing
Thanks

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeksare worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select anyiTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I cannot update itunes because system cannot find the data itunes64.msi. What can I do?

I cannot update itunes because the latest version cannot be deleted (system is looking for itunes64.msi and cannot find). Update is going reverse. I tried to install the full version, but there is the same problem. What can I do?
When I try to deinstall the old version by windows, the same problem

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Hey Laxmom83,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues updating your iPad. If you have not already attempted to do so, can you perform the update with iTunes on a computer? Don’t forget to backup your iPad first!

When I click on the shortcut for the program it does not load. When I attempted to fix the problem, everything tells me that firefox is currently open when in fact (as far as I can tell) it is not.

HT4479 After not receiving the Verification Email i realized the email had a typo/error. How do i correct it when it will not let me back in because i have not verified ?

When creating a new ID i incorrectly entered the email address. How do i correct it when i cannot sign in because its telling me i must first verify

Then, if there's any data on the drive that you want to keep, you have to back up before you do anything else -- assuming it's still possible.
Basically you have three options:
1. Install a copy of the Mac OS on an external hard drive, boot from it, and copy the data from the internal drive.
2. Start the problem Mac in FireWire target mode (command-T at startup) and connect it to a working Mac with a FireWire cable. The internal drive will mount as a FireWire device.
3. Remove the internal drive and mount in an external enclosure on another Mac.
Once you've backed up, follow the sequence in the support article linked below. The article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running Lion) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

My computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes library can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. What to do? Please Help Me.

My Computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes libary can not be read because it was created by a newer version.

If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:

•Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X:
