When accessing itunes I receive a message stating Itunes was not properly installed, please reinstall. I have deleted and reinstalled by still no luck help!

I have had itunes installed in my PC for years, recently I am receiving a message which states it has not been installed properly and I need to reinstall.
Having followed all the appropriate steps, including deleting itunes and then reinsalling it I am still getting the same message, which also prevents me from burning discs.... help!

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

I have tried to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional XI this morning and payment (AED 1983.53) has been taken, I received a message stating there was/is a problem processing my order and that I should contact your customer service team in UAE. Having tried this, I was met with a recorded message, in Arabic, and no options to speak to anyone. I have found this process extremely frustrating and poor on your behalf. Not providing any options to speak to an Adobe representative is equally annoying. Please get back to me ASAP, as I need to use the product immediately.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

I don't think this one is a variation of the device filter troubles, Littlebirt.
Checking something from the diagnostics:
+Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.+
Is there any virtual drive software (like, say, Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%) installed on the PC?

When I uploaded 10.2.2 on Windows 7, I receive a statement that iTunes was not properly installed. What may be prompting this condition?

I keep receiving this message "the disc was not ejected properly. if possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off"

i keep receiving this message "the disc was not ejected properly. if possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off"

I had this problem too, where it seemed I couldn't go eight hours without the Duo drives dropping and getting the "disc was not ejected properly" error message.
I tried the following and so far it seems to have fixed the problem:
In System Preferences > EnergySaver, make sure the setting “Put hard disks to sleep when possible" is unchecked.
I did this only on the Power Adaptor tab, but you might want to uncheck the setting on the Battery tab as well to be safe. (In my case, the Duo drives are unlikely to be attached when I’m running on battery, so I left the setting checked for the Battery tab so that the system can still power down the internal drive.)
Since I made the above change ten days ago, the Duo disks have not dropped, even when I left the system on with the Duo disks connected for a couple of days.
FYI I have the Duo set up with two RAID 1 sets spanning the two drives. I'm using Mavericks 10.9.4.

When uninstalling iTunes on your windows computer, there is a specific way it must be done in order to completely uninstall all components of the software. Ensure you follow the article for your correct OS.
Did you do this when uninstalling??

Error Message: itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import CDs

I am using Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 and currently iTunes v8.1
Whenever I start iTunes, a message window pops up saying:
"itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn cds, you need to reinstall iTunes."
I can click OK, and iTunes will continue to load normally. It also appears to work normally. I can put in CDs and it will import the music off of them.
I have tried to reinstall iTunes, and have even upgraded to the latest versions whenever they've come out (I've had the problem for several months).
Using information I found on the internet, including apple.com, I tried re-installing the GEARS drivers, but with no luck.
I have tried foolin' around with the registry, specifically the entry noted in the GEARS driver pages, altering UpperFilters and deleting LowerFilters, still no luck. Perhaps I'm not doing this correctly? In fact, if I delete both Upper and Lower Filters, upon restarting Windows, I will not have either of my CD/DVD drives showing up in Windows explorer. Further, at the initial stage, I did not have an UpperFilters key, or string. My LowerFilters string has in it, ElbyCDFL, AnyDVD, PxHelp20, ElbyDelay, and MxlW2k.
I believe all of these programs have been on my system for some time.
I am not at all sure what may have changed on my system to cause this error to occur, as I said, it's been several months.
Thanks in advance,
Walt D in LV

I had the same problem until I repaired iTunes.
Start --> Control Panel --> Uninstall a Program --> Click on iTunes --> Choose Repair at the top --> Allow change to be made
Hopefully that will help.

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.
