Unable to install Itunes 10.6.3 on windows 7 (64 bit)

Hey everyone
I recently had itunes version 10...... installed on my laptop and had no issues with it. However a couple of days ago I wanted to sync my iphone 4s to my laptop and nothing was happening. So i tried to start the Apple Mobile Device Support manually within the 'Services' program and nothing happened. So I carried out the following tasks:
- Uninstalled Itunes and all Apple software e.g. Quick time, Bonjour etc
- Ensured all apple folders was deleted from the C:
- Downloaded the itunes.exe from the apple website.
- rebooted laptop
- Proceeded to installed Itunes 10.6.3
This is where my issue begins! When it reaches about 95% of the installation the status is showing as 'Starting Services' and then after a minute the below error message appears:
'You have insufficient Privilages' and I have 3 options: Retry, Abort or Ignore
If i click on Retry the same message appears, if I click on Ignore the installation completes, Itunes works fine. However when i connect my iphone to my laptop it states that a software is not installed. Please reinstall Itunes again.
Having done a bit a research the 'missing' software is the Apple Mobile Device Support. Therefore I extracted the itunes64.exe so I can install the AMDS via itself. However when I do it it will get as far as near the end and then decide to roll back stating that it encountered a error and therefore its not installed.
I have tried all the following:
- ensure that my account has admin rights
- disabled my anti virus (which is AVG). I even uninstalled it just to be sure
- tried to install a older version of itunes - it installs fine, but when i got to launch itunes the following error message appear - Itunes.dll is created by a newer version. Then nothing happens
- I have ran disk checks and other various checks and all came back fine or fixed.
i have been on this for about 2 days now and have no idea what to do next, PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Oh actually, just managed to get around it... Installed iTunes 10.5 and then used 'Apple Software Update' to update it 10.6.3
(Got the old version from here.. http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=7196?download - dont click the ads, should start download automatically)

    unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
    states this app unable to run on this PC

    Hello jgrn76,
    It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
    iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
    If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
    Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
    Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Having issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).

    Issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).This install clobbered my previous version of iTunes. Error message is "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start". Cannot start the service manually even though I am the administrator of the machine. There is obviously some conflict that was recently introduced by a Windows update or in the Apple installation. I have tried removing iTunes and the AMDS (the Apple mobile device service) and reinstalling with the same error message.
    Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
    Marilyn

    Hey there Marylin,
    It sounds like you are unable to start iTunes due to this error message even after uninstalling the iTunes application and the Apple Mobile device. I would recommend uninstalling not just those 2 applications but iTunes and ALL its associated applications with the following article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • I am unable to install Itunes 10.6 on my windows vista 64. What do I need to do to be able to install?

    How can I install Itunes 10.6 on my windows Vista 64?

    No, but you do at least have to buy Snow Leopard. Whether you can run it depends on what iMac you have:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:

  • Unable to install Itunes 9.2 on my Windows 7 laptop

    Hi
    I bought an iphone 4 and have been unable to download any music onto it from my computer as I am unable to download itunes 9.2. I've tried repeatedly over the last few weeks. The laptop is an Acer, brought new in Jan of this year, and runs windows 7. Has plenty of memory etc and previous versions of itunes were working on it fine before.
    I tried downloading the update first to get to 9.2 but found it would get stuck whilst downloading ie after getting to a certain stage (e.g. say 7.2mb of 95mb) it wouldnt get any further until I'd get an error message later (ie so it wasnt a case of being impactient).
    I tried, out of desperation, removing itunes completely from my laptop and downloading from scratch. Still no luck - I have the same issue.
    Please can someone help. I got the iphone 4 as my ipod had broken and I have been dying to listen to my music on it and just can't see what the issue is here.

    I have the solution I hope!
    Ok so I have had this problem for the last 5 hours with Itunes. Windows was saying that it was unable to identify the digital signature and sometimes even a win32 error.
    I tried everything in the blue sky that I could google trying to find a solution to no avail. I also tried all kinds of different tricks such as cleaning my registry, using msconfig to stop startup programs from running, making a different account and trying to install it from there, and everything on apples website and NOTHING helped
    The most ridicilous thing did work though. I was able to Download and install Quicktime by itself. Then after i installed quicktime i just went into search in windows and typed "Apple" then clicked on the apple software updater (you can get there manually through quicktime too) and it checked for updates and asked me if i wanted to install itunes I clicked yes and then it downloaded and installed it and then after the prompt to restart my computer it was there. Simple and quite stupid if you ask me.
    I hope this works for you too

  • Unable to update iTunes on my PC running Windows 7 64 bit

    I am unable to install update to iTunes on my PC Windows 7 64 bit,  I went to "Tools" and clicked on "update only" but that didn't help.  It seems that
    my computer cannot find the installation package 'Bonjour64msi'

    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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • TS3212 I cannot install iTunes 10.6.3 on Windows 7 (64 bit). I redceive the following message - "The installation package could not be opened..." Tried opening in safe mode - no luck. Anybody have a solution?

  • Cannot install iTunes 12.1.1 on Windows 7 (64 bit)

    Hello.  I've tried to do this about 10 times now and it's driving me crazy.  The new iTunes update installed first time and works fine on my laptop (Win 7 home premium, 32 bit) but it absolutely refuses to work on my desktop (Win 7 home premium, 64 bit, quad core, 8gb RAM, ample hard drive space).  I've been using iTunes for years and had no problems with the previous version.
    The installation hangs 75% of the way through each attempt, with the message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service' failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services".  I then get 3 options of abort, retry and ignore.  If I retry it just keeps coming back to the same message.  If I ignore then the installation completes but I then get the message "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7".  Then, every time I restart my machine or try to launch iTunes I get the message "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 193)".
    Here's what I've tried, in various combinations:
    ensured I have installed all windows updates
    uninstalled all iTunes and related programmes in the order specified on the Apple support pages (via Control Panel and the executable file), restarted, removed all the associated folders and files (including all 32 and 64 bit versions) from the Program Files directory on my C drive (where the iTunes installation is located), verified that they are gone.
    cleared cache and temporary internet files from my browser, emptied the recycle bin
    uninstalled QuickTime
    installed the executable iTunes package via "Run as administrator"
    tried the "Repair" option from both Control Panel and via the executable file
    unpacked the Apple Mobile Device Service separately and installed separately
    And nothing makes any difference to the result.  I can't help but think there that is some kind of incompatibility between the latest version of A.M.D.S. and the latest version of Windows 7 64 bit.  I'm not interested in whether it's Apple's or Microsoft's fault but I would like a solution, even if that solution is reinstalling an older version of iTunes.  I hope you can help.

    A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
    When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
    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 performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Can't install iTunes 10.5 on my windows 7 64 bit laptop!!!!

    I've been trying to install/update my itunes 10.4 to itunes 10.5 but every time I keep getting an error. I've tried reinstalling it, removing and or deactivating firewalls and anti virus software. running a system clean up, rebopoting my laptop, and removing everything apple from my HD and reinstalling it all back on and it still wont work. Anybody else have this problem? Here is the error message im getting.
    Im running windows 7 64 bit, everything updated on the windows side

    Are you using the 32 or 64 bit version of iTunes. Also, double check to ensure you are running an x64 version of Windows. If you are running 64-bit Windows and 64-bit iTunes, it should work, but try the 32-bit one. If you are running x64 Windows and 32-bit iTunes, again, it should work, but try the 64-bit. If you are running x86 (32-bit) Windows, you will need to run the 32-bit version of iTunes.

  • I cant install itunes 10.7 on my windows 7 64 bit

    i just bought iphone 4S and trying to install itunes 10.7. This is my first time installing itunes on my pc.
    this error show up when i start to install it on my wondows 7 64 bit
    then i pressed ok, it's rolling back then still installing till another message show up
    then i clicked "ignore", it keeps installing then its showed up again then i clicked "ignore" again
    when it finished installing, i cant open the itunes just but this error
    i cant transfer contact, app, or music with another app like copytrans because it keeps asking for itunes.
    is there any other way so that i can manage my iphone through pc without itunes at all?

    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 8007054F, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • Unable to install HP Laserjet P1005 on a Windows 7 64-bit OS system

    I have attempted to install both the full package and just the driver for an HP Laserjet P1005 local printer to my personal PC which I updated the OS to MS WIndows 7, 64-bit version numerous times and I have been unsuccessful each time. On each attempt to run the installer, whether it be the full version or just the driver, and you come to the point in the installation process where you are to plug in your local printer's USB cable to your PC I keep encountering an error message indicating that the USB device is not recognized. A further investigation reveals that there is in fact an unknown device. I click on this and I encounter a Microsoft generated message which indicates the following information - Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
    The following Microsoft web site - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123 
    has the following Recommended resolution
    One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.
    If you have already run the Troubleshooting Wizard, you might want to check the hardware documentation for more information about diagnosing the problem.
    Well, I went through all of the above recommended actions and I got nowhere. I went back on the web and did some further research. This time I found the following information at the following HP web page -http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-59850-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=1060&product=3435668
    This was a link to an HP web page which pertained to a so-called repair utility software that was for an HP Laserjet P1000 and P1500 Series Plug and Play Recovery Utility.I tried this but it has not rectified my problem installing the driver for my local printer.If you have the magical solution to this problem I would appreciate it if you could provide it to me. Thank you.

    WendyM: I seem to have EXACTLY the same problem...
    - New Sony Vaio with Windows 7 Home Basic 64bit factory installed
    - HP LaserJet P1005 as a local printer
    - P1005 was first installed on the Vaio using the original install CD and sort of worked
    - worked OK for the installing user but only intermittently for the other user
    - both users had problems with the printer queue locking up in various situations (only solution was to reboot)
    - decide to try and update the installation of the printer
    - downloaded both the driver files you speak of from HP
    - small Plug and Play file (c4Mb) got into endless loop when trying to pre-install drivers and had to be killed
    - large full installation file (c167Mb) also failed to install properly
    - tried uninstalling and rebooting various times after various failed attempts to get this full package to work.
    - situation now is that the P1005 is simply uninstallable on the Vaio but continues to work fine on two XP machines (see below)
    - a detail: when the P1005 is plugged into any machine (Vaio or XPs) USB reports that it could run faster if it was on a USB 2.0 port
    - this seems to be a strange message on a 2010 Sony Vaio which obviously has USB 2.0 ports
    - stranger yet, the XPs are completely unaffected by this message, and print to the P1005 normally, as they always have
    The XP machines:
    - One XP machine is an old 2006 HP Pavilion
    - The other XP machine is a 2009 Acer netbook
    - both machines with their original factory installed XPs, and both regularly updated
    - the P1005 is a local printer on all machines
    - each machine is plugged into it when printing is needed and the 2 XP machines always connect and print, regardless of the USB speed message
    - the P1005 even works from the XPs via an unpowered USB physical hub with a USB mouse connected as well
    HP really seem to have gotten themselves into a rather shameful mess over their printer drivers. In the year 2010 it seems insane that plugging a printer into a computer is so stunningly complex.
    Indeed HP seems to be going rapidly backwards. The Vaio was bought to replace the old 2006 Pavilion (an excellent machine which has never put a foot wrong despite the most intensive use, and which continues to work fine if a little slowly in comparrison to the newer machines) because when we saw the HP replacement we were so repelled by its awful ergonomics, physical appearance, and ragged construction (raw metal edges round the front corners!) in comparisson to the Pavilion that we didn't need any convincing to buy the wonderfully constructed Vaio. Now we discover that a printer that works fine on XPs is unusable on Windows 7. A strange form of progress indeed.
    For many years I revered the quality of HP products. No longer I'm afraid. The Pavilion became a Vaio. I wonder what will take the place of the P1005 (I am actually being extremely restrained about the P1005 because it compares miserably with its sturdy predecessor: our sadly missed HP LaserJet 1010),
