Why am I having troubles downloading and installing iTunes on a machine that runs Windows 8?

Trying to install iTunes on a new WIndows 8 laptop, but I can only get so far before I get an error message. I can't progress past it.

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
Please post the exact text of any error message.

    I am having trouble downloading and installing iTunes to my PC with Windows 7.   I have been trying for 4 hours and can't get it to download.  Any suggestions?

    Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Having trouble downloading and installing Premiere Elements 10 from my account.

    Having trouble downloading and installing Premiere Elements 10 from my account.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Here’s what I downloaded from my account – PremiereElements_10LS_15_win64
    I do get an error message when I double click to install:
    “The file archive part of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 is missing.
    You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Premiere Elements 10.
    Please download all parts”.
    When on the Adobe site there are many choices which is confusing.
    Please direct me to the correct one….
    I’m running Windows 8.1
    Thank you George

  • TS3212 Has anyone had trouble downloading and installing itunes 10.7?

    Having trouble configuring my iPhone 5.  Keep getting message that I need itunes 10.7.  Have downloaded it, but when I check for current updates, it keeps telling me that I have the current version...10.6.3.  What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, I'm on a mac. No telling where I ended up posting this. I don't usually use this type of support. Looks like it downloaded, and now when I try to install it (which I'm not even sure I should do, since I already have itunes on my mac), it says I need OS 10.6.8. I'm so confused.
    Aaaaaah. You're on a Leopard system? Unfortunately, you'd need Snow leopard or higher to run 10.7.0.21 and your iPhone 5.
    When you check in with the Apple Store folks, let them know what particular model of mac you have, so they can work out if it can run one of the newer operating systems (Snow Leopard or above).

  • Having trouble uninstalling and installing iTunes

    When I try to unintall iTunes (because it wouldn't open and work) by emptying the trash it wont completely uninstall iTunes because it still says the iTunes.rsrc and the Localized.rsrc files are in use, I cannot find the iTunes.rsrc file any where and I can find the Localized.rsrc but I don't know which one it is. Also when I try to install iTunes or the most recent iPod updater it says there are errors. I have no iTunes or iPod .pkgs so I don't know what to do, any and all help will be appreciated.

    As an alternative, you could download the stand-alone iTunes installer (at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ) and try installing from that one.
    If the problem is related to Software Update, it might work.
    If the problem is related to the Installer (due to permissions problems), I don't expect it to work either.
    I don't have much knowledge of and experience with permissions of hidden files.
    Usually, I stay away from them, not wanting to mess up my system. After all, they are not hidden without reason.
    If you want to change permissions, you will first have to make the hidden files visible. This can be done by typing this command in a Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool YES;killall Finder
    To hide the hidden files again, use this command:
    defaults delete com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles;killall Finder
    If you're not familiar with Terminal, use a utility like Tinkertool, OnyX or CliX to perform the same action within a more familiar user interface.
    Here are the settings of my 'private', 'tmp' and '501' folders.
    If all doesn't work, you could post a question in one of the Mac OS X forums.
    A lot of knowledgeable people are answering questions there.

  • Hello I'm having trouble downloading and installing the iTunes program.

    Whenever I go to download itunes I receive an error message saying, "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified. Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit".
    Please help me download itunes from here. I've tried reinstalling iTunes like this error message prompts me to do but I keep receiving the same message over and over again. I would appreciate the help in getting iTunes back up and running correctly.

    Hello pinku007, I just picked up my laptop from the repair shop and I'm afraid if I do a system restore the virus I had taken off will come back and cost me another $150 to remove. It sounds like a good idea but do you think system restore is something I should try at this point?

  • I am having trouble downloading and updating apps. I get a message "Error 1004 try again later" has anyone experienced this?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

  • HT2736 Why do i need to download and install a huge piece of software just to purchase a gift for someone?  It seems like very bad business practice to me!

    Why do i need to download and install a huge piece of software just to purchase a gift for someone?  It seems like very bad business practice to me!

    Stores only have gift cards, and because I live in a different country to the person I want to send one to, that isn't practical.  Installing itunes, seems excessive, especially as I would first have to install wine on linux, just to buy a gift for someone.

    Managed to get the installation sorted. Go to Control Panel, and where you have a list of all installed programs, repair all the Apple/Itunes related programs. Installation worked fine after that. Hopefully it helps you out too!

  • Why am I having trouble signing in to iTunes with my AppleID? I change it

    Why am I having trouble signing in to iTunes with my AppleID? Once I go through the motions to reset my password on Apple's website & go back to iTunes, I still can't sign on. Should I have two passwords? Is there something I'm missing??

    Yep. Good point.
    To completely shut it down, even in the background, double click the home button to display the row of apps. Then press and hold the Facetime app until the app displays a minus sign. then touch the minus sign.
    The app is now stopped !

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

    I just download and install itunes 10.5 and it worked good the first days but since yesterday it crashed up, and everytime i start it it crashes again and logged me out each time. it can´t acces my itunes account. I´m using snow leopard the last version. What can i do to solve this problem and and continue using my itunes normally?

    Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
    Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
    If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com.  Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan.  Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans.  Restart computer.
    Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
    If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
    GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
    Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
    Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
    Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors  This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
    Good Luck!!.
