Unable to download itunes or quicktime

I'm having some problems installing itunes and quicktime on my computer. My computer is an acer 5920g and my os is windows vista. After I download itunes and try to run it, it starts to install but then I get the following message:
"Could not open key
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Media
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact support personnel"
Itunes then uninstalls itself. I've tried to install quicktime on its own but get the same message

HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Media
Hmmmm. First quit Internet Explorer and restart the PC. Don't open Internet Explorer after the PC restarts.
Open your "Start" menu. Type run into your "Start Search". Right-click on the run that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
In the Run line that comes up, type regedit and hit enter.
Expand HKEYCURRENTUSER
Expand Software
Expand Microsoft
Expand Internet Explorer
Right-click on Media, and select "Permissions". Does your user account have full permissions on that Media key?

  • I am unable to download iTunes (10.5.2).

    I am unable to download iTunes (10.5.2).
    When I attempt to download I get an error message which reads:
    "Apple Software Update
    Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools>Download Only and try installing manually."
    I have done the Tools>Download Only and tried installing manually. When I do this procedure I get an error message which reads:
    "Apple Software Update
    iTunes has an invalid signature. The download has been removed."
    I went to the "Trouble installing iTunes or Quicktime for Windows" help section and deleted Temp folder and restarted the computer, but I am getting all the same error messages.
    I hesitate to uninstall iTunes and reinstall because I am afraid that I will loose all of my music, podcasts and pictures.
    My iTunes also will not download my most recent podcasts.
    Can you tell me what to do to correct these problems?

    I never had to uninstall iTunes to reinstall a new version, that included 10.5.  What happens when you try to download iTunes 10.5?
    How are you trying to download it? From the Apple website or the iTunes/Apple software updater?

    Should the advice above not fix things for you...
    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    Please!
    Thanks!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Unable to download iTunes 10.7 on my Macbook (using OSX 10.5.8). Thx

    Unable to download iTunes 10.7 on my Macbook, hence, cannot use my iphone 5. How could I upgrade my OSX?( apart from buying a new Macbook, thx)

    You need OSX 10.6.8 at least.  Read the link below on getting 10.6 at least, then update online to 10.6.8.  Depending upon your model computer you might be able to go beyond 10.6.
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from their online store. 
    In the future do not buy new devices until you are sure you can run them on your computer.  Read the 8 point medium gray print on a light gray background Apple uses to tell you on each box what system requirements are for each device.

    iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.

  • Unable to download itunes using firefox on windows 7

    I'm using windows 7 and when I click the download link on http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ it brings up the prompt to save and I click save but there is no download performed - the file does not exist and is not listed in the "Downloads" drop down option.
    Apple assumes it's downloaded http://www.apple.com/confirm/itunes/thankyou.html and states "Now that you’ve downloaded iTunes, you’re just a few steps away from starting a digital entertainment collection and enjoying it on your Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, or iPod."
    HELLO the download did not occur.
    Most site will offer a link that states - if your download did not begin click here and have a means to start it again but not Apple they are sure it's done.
    Any one out there know what's wrong with the download page or a way to get iTunes from another source on apple's site?
    -edit moments later
    That "thankyou.html" page loading before the end of me clicking save and selecting where it's saving was causing the download to not initiate properly
    I saved it as quickly as I could and surprisingly the download succeeded to begin.
    Apple website developers should be notified of that error/behavior so it can be fixed - simply don't load the thankyou.html page until the install is completed maybe

    See my response in the I am unable to download iTunes with Windows XP using firefox?  I am told it's a binary file and tells me to "save" it.  Once downloaded it does not open up.  Anyone have any ideas why? thread.

  • I am unable to download itunes on 32 bit Vista home premium

    I had an older version 9 of Itunes on my Vista 32 bit home premium windows pc and has acquired the latest ios 6 Ipod touch but Itunes dows not recognise it and I was unable to sync it. The itouch driver installed on pc and a message comes comes up shortly that Ipod touch need to download Itunes versin 6.3,1 but i am unable to dowanload it onto Ipod touch itself as it needs to be sync with Itune on PC, but it does not recognise devices. I tried installing update but it does not want to complete and I followed online instruction to uninstall all Itunes and related software which i had done but now I am unable to download Itunes at all. Is there anyone who has a solution to this problem?

  • New laptop with windows.8.1 and i am unable to download itunes can you help, ps in idiot proof language thks

    I have purchased new lap top and downloaded windows.8..1 but i am unable to download itunes, it keeps coming up as unsucessful. I am a bit thick when it comes to technology so any step by step insturctions would be good. Please help thanks

    I'm having the same problem. I had previously downloaded an earlier version but it's apparently too old to allow me to activate my new iPhone. I tried disabling Download Manager (holding down the shift key); it was disabled but I still got the immediate "Thank You" without the new version being downloaded. Any suggestions? Anyone using Vista able to download this version?

    I am unable to download iTunes on my second Windows 8 computer (64 bit). I got it fine on my first one and have used it quite a bit. After downloading the program and installing it on the second computer, I keep getting this error message: "Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start." This happens when when my IPhone 5c is connected via Wi-Fi and I have clicked on "Trust This Computer." (I have tried to install several times-- It gets hung up when it reaches"Starting Services.")

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Downloading iTunes Without QuickTime

    From the latest update from Apple to iTunes users with Windows XP, there have been many having a problem opening iTunes without receiving an error. The latest resolution posted was to download an older version of QuickTime first, and then download iTunes without QuickTime bundled. This is where the fun begins. All web sites I have searched so far claim to have the iTunes download without QuickTime, but they all include QuickTime with the download.
    Does anyone have an idea of where you can download iTunes without QuickTime bundled? Thanks!

    Have you tried downloading the installer for Quicktime Pro 7.3 + iTunes and running it?
    It should come up with two options "Repair" or "Uninstall" ... then choose repair and it should install iTunes 7.5 ... try that and see if it works. Instead of downloading iTunes + Quicktime, you download Quicktime + iTunes ... I know it's the same thing, but the installation of Quicktime is then checked first, and that accounts for the "Pro" paying customer part.
