What is the secret to installing iTunes 10.5 on a Windows XP Pro machine?
While attempting to update iTunes 10.4.1.10 to version 10.5 on a Windows XP Pro machine (ver 2002, SP3), I get a recurrent error in the midst of the install:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
I am trying to upgrade my IPAD 2 to iOS5 and can't get past step one in the overall process. I stopped by the local Apple store and spoke to one of their gurus - he said that a minimum requirement for the iTunes 10.5 upgrade in a Windows environment is the Vista or Windows 7 O/S. However, I know of other folks who run iTunes in a Windows XP environment who have successfully upgraded their iTunes 10.4 to 10.5 and then successfully upgraded their IPAD 2 to iOS5.
So my basic question is what am I missing?
Thanks for any and all assistance.
You will find QT here: QuickTime 7.6.4 for Leopard.

What is the secret sauce on iTunes Match deleting tracks?
I got a replacement iPhone 5 and decided to try the 32GB, having always bought the 64GB before, as I wanted to see if iTunes Match makes carrying around all my music unnecessary.
For the initial sync, I had iTunes Match disabled, and copied over a number of Playlists, and told (desktop) iTunes to fill the remaining space. That was about 15GB. Then I enabled Match, which immediately deleted 1.5GB, so I had to re-download the contents of some of the Playlists. In a perfect world, it would have deleted those filler songs first, but it's not a big deal.
Since then, the library has been hovering at about 13.2GB, or 4,722 songs currently. There will be a lot of stuff in that I never need to hear again, frankly. But I see it continues to delete songs from the Playlists that I have just recently (past few days) redownloaded, and in my mind "told" iTunes Match I specifically want. This is annoying: I care because I use underground public transit, fly quite frequently, and have capped downloads so while I certainly don't need all my songs all the time, I do want songs I plan to listen to, and have taken steps to make available, still on the device. Many hundreds - thousands! - of other tracks I may be pleased to be reminded of on shuffle are good too, but I don't get why many of them are surviving, when a Playlist I have very recently downloaded may not. I'd have imagined that a key variable was when a track was downloaded, but do I need actually to listen to it? Am I going to have to makePlaylists of things I might want to listen to before flights, and have them play with the volume turned down...?
So, gas anyone got to the bottom of which songs are selected for culling, and why?The renewal price is the same as the original subscription: $24.99 per year in the US.

Installing Mac OS X on a Windows XP Pro Machine
Can you install Mac OS X (any version) on a windows based PC, espically an HP Pavilion, with a Turion64 X2 processor, 128MB nVidia graphics card, and 2GB RAM???
Hi yankeefan1122;
Besides not be legal, it will also be quite unreliable installing Mac OS X (any version) on non-Apple hardware.

I try to download the newest version of iTunes, but get the following message: "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5." What do I do now?
I have Mac OS X 10.4.11, and don't know how to upgrade to 10.5.Here are ways to update to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7):
http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
It requires you to have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) installed, which can be obtained from the Apple Store.
You being on Mac OS X 10.4 makes it an old system, 10.6 and 10.7 require an Intel processor at least with Lion demanding an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor.
What system do you have? -
Hellooo Apple Community!
I'm trying to install iTunes on my computer running Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm not sure if iTunes is compatible with my computer operating system because when I try to install it, it says the installation is completed but it says there was an error so it won't let me get itunes! Can someone please tell me if iTunes can be downloaded and installed on "Windows 7 Home Premium" and if so, how?! I need iTunes asap, I have an iphone 4 running ios 6.1.3. Please get back to mee!!
Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
Natalie.I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides. -
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:

Keep getting the following error message when I try to instal itunes 10.6. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft VC80 CRT.type="win 32". version = "8.0 50727.61 95". public Key token = ""1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b." processor architeture = "x86". Please refer to help and support for more information.
HRESULT:0x80073712
The program then acts like it is still trying to load, but then I get another message later which reads:
Service 'Aple Mobile Device' failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
any suggestions?HRESULT: 0x80073712
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 80073712, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?) -
i dont know what to do i try install itunes and this keeps coming up "itunes was not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes error 7 (windows error 127)" what should i do?
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.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

i have had a heck of a time generating HD clips that will play in QT on my own computer without "staggering,"
i can down load an HD movie trailer from apple (armored) that is bigger (1920x912 vs 1780x720), in millions and at 24 fps (mine is 30). the trailer plays, as far as i can tell, flawlessly. both in H.264.
what is the secret? what are they doing that i am not?tom, that is what i think too, but darned if i can figure out what. spent about two hours on the phone with FCE product specialists at Apple that last two days, and they weren't ready to guarantee clean running. one suspected underperforming hard drives. what really distresses me is that i can see some of this staggering inside of FCE where it shouldn't happen.
i took an exported clip to another machine at a local connecting point store and the staggering still happened, suggesting that it was embedded in the clip somehow. i can scrub the clip in QT using the right arrow key held down and all the frames appear to be there, but when running, every approximately four seconds, it staggers.
i created a separate boot drive with a fresh install of leopard and put only my video card drivers and FCE on it. disconnected everything except the firewire to the camcorder and the USB for the keyboard to try to isolate the environment. it still happened. before i even put the video drivers in, i played the exported clip. every four seconds i got a horizontal distortion that moved from the bottom of the clip to the top. after i installed the video drivers, this became the stagger.
tomorrow i am going to a retail store with my camcorder to capture the same clip there and see if there is any difference. i don't believe it is the camera as i can hook it up with HDMI to a HDTV and it plays fine. i suppose there could be a firewire problem in the camcorder.
i am stumped and frustrated.

I cleared the cache and my site does not update! What's the secret?
I cleared the cache and my site does not update! What's the secret? I created a second website and bought a domain name. You can get to the site by it's mac name or the purchased domain name. I linked the domain name and with my server and it works. The site comes up wither way. BUT, either way, I cannot get my changes to appear. I had realized that my links were not working because I had placed them within the header. So, I moved the links out of the header, republished, and now the new pages (with links in body of website) will not load. Here are the two ways to get to see the site. Both show the old way (links in header). What is up with me not being able to see the changes in either Firefox or Safari?

I cannot install iTunes. I get a Windows Error 126 and missing msvcr80.dll. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing based on all the suggestions, but still have an issue. I've removed all the services, tried moving the dll files as suggested, but I still have no success. Spent all day on this issue. I am running windows 7.
Sorry to hear this isn't going smoothly for you. Try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have seen some of the suggestions here before but is has taken some users more than one attempt.

My PC computer was wiped (virus) including itunes. How do I transfer the many playlists and music on my ipod to the new re-installed itunes?? Ipod is synced to old itunes. I have all original music files on external hard drive. Please help?
New itunes is trying to wipe the ipod. But have many many playlists (many hours making) which I want to save. Any help would be appreciated.If you want to just extract the playlists from your iPod, plug it in iTunes. When it appears under devices, right->click on it and choose Export Playlists. Save them to a location such as your desktop and them import them into your library once you have copied and imported all of your music back into it.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
