Update not properly installed, itunes asking to reinstall...how do I save music?

I tried to install the latest version of itunes and I got an error message, that it wasn't properly installed. Now, when I open itunes, I get a message that I will be unable to rip or burn any Cd's and I can't sync my ipad, because my itunes has an old version of the software. I want to uninstall and reinstall itunes, but how do I get past loading all my CD's again? Can I save the music without backing it up to an external hardrive?

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:

  • Windows 8.1 Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro "Network Driver not properly installed"

    I've just received a brand new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro just a few hours ago, and already there seems to be a problem. Windows 8.1 keeps telling me it cannot find any networks, and when I troubleshoot problems, it tells me that my drivers are not properly installed. I've reinstalled the drivers twice already, and even gotten the most up-to-date drivers from Lenovo's website. After taking a dive through the devices window, I can't even seem to locate the network adapter within it.
    Am I missing something? Is it possible they forgot to install a network card?

    What do you mean by clean install?  Are you simply restoring a backup image of the pre-installed OS, or are you really installing with a new copy of Windows?

  • When did Apple turn into piece of ****?  It prompted me to update itunes and install icloud. I did. It crashed saying it was not properly installed and reinstall it. Since then I have been trying. I worry if my thousands of dollars worth of music is lost

    When did Apple turn into piece of ****?  It prompted me to update itunes and install icloud. I did. It crashed saying it was not properly installed and reinstall it. Since then I have been trying. I worry if my thousands of dollars worth of music is lost

    I had a very similar problem, error 4251.  (look in your log you will see that error)  Since I finally fixed my problem, I thought I would see if I can help someone else.
    What I found is that I lost burn ability in both iTunes AND Windows.  Like you did.  I did some digging and found that this wasn't hardware related at all.  In fact, this boils down to a registry key getting messed up.  (sigh) Yeah.  It causes the system to get a bad 'handle'.
    OK, here's what to try.  Go to this Microsoft KB article.  Scroll down and find the *manual* instructions for Vista.  Delete the registry key that it specifies.  Reboot. Now verify that you can burn in Windows.  (If you have a RW disc, do a disc erase, or just try and burn from Windows Media Player.)  If that is working now,  you're on the right track.
    Now the issue is that iTunes will still be broken.  Go and install the latest Gear driver.  (I know you may have done it, but do it again.)  Now follow the intructions in this Apple KB article to verify the "GEARAspiWDM" info is back there in the registry.  Now reboot.  Try and burn in iTunes. 
    I hope this helps.

  • TS3299 iTunes was not properly installed.  If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes

    I've installed iTunes 10.6 on my Windows 7 machine.  Everytime I start it I get this message:  iTunes was not properly installed.  If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes.
    Reinstalling iTunes made no difference.
    So I found this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3299  and updated the registry like it said and it still didn't work but it also had the effect of making my CD drive no longer work for anything, including playing movies.   Before following those instructions I could read and write cds using Windows Media player.  Fortunately, I had backed up my registry leaf and restored it.
    So I've been trying to figure out how to burn a cd from iTunes for close to two months now with no luck.  Does anybody know how to get rid of the above error message?
    Thank you!

  • •"Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."

    Hi, I would be greatly appreciated if anyone could assit me.
    I have tried loading ITunes several times, each time I'm getting the same message :Warning iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish too import or burn CD's, you need to reinstall iTunes"
    Additionally, the same error message appears despite having made changes to the registry editor.
    Thanks
    Timmzee

    Hey there Timmzee,
    I would suggest that you reinstall iTunes as a first step for troubleshooting this issue, keeping in mind that iTunes and related components must be uninstalled in this specific order:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    If you are still having issues with your iTunes installation after uninstalling iTunes in the correct order, use this article for further troubleshooting steps:

    Hello:
    I have installed Itunes on my new Windows 7 based computer (64 bit) and get the following error message everytime the program opens, "ITunes not properly installed.  If you wish to import or burn CD's, you must reinstall ITunes."  So, I have removed ITunes, Quick Time and Apple associated software, twice, from my computer and reinstalled the latest version (10.4.1) but get no fix to the problem.  ITunes will import CD's but will not burn them with this error in place.  Anybody know how to fix this problem?

    if you have 64bit os this is problem:
    Any 64-bit version of Windows is not supported so you should expect certain things not to work. From Apple's iTunes page the Windows requirements are:
    32-bit editions of Windows XP or Vista
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later required for Apple TV or iPhone
    500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
    QuickTime 7.1.6 or later (included)
    256MB RAM
    Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs

  • Itunes was not properly installed

    On opening Itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's you need to reinstall Itunes". I am able to import a CD without any problem but not able to burn a CD. I have done a clean uninstall by removing Itunes, Quicktime, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support, Bonjour and Apple application support. I have now tried this three times. I understand that it could be a problem with the GearAspiwdm.sys driver. I don't appear to have this driver installed. I have tried the gear support site and downloaded the driver installer but don't seem able to locate the gear driver anywhere on the system. Can any one help? I would be eternally grateful!
    When i managed to load the gear drivers my PC would not recognise any CD/DVD drive on my system.
