Why can't I download itunes? no error message, just nothing.

I've had problems before on my newish laptop (not having my inventory, have tried everything) but then it deleted itself? the icon was gone. Now i cannot download it again. There is no error message, but no matter where i try to save the startup file, I cannot find it.

    why can't i download itunes to my hp pavilion dv6 laptop?

    Impossible to say with no information on which to base a diagnosis. "can't download" by itself doesn't tell us anything useful. What OS is your laptop running, and where exactly are things going wrong, including error messages if any?
    Regards.

  • Why can't I download the Mac OS I just purchased?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

    I just purchased Lion OS.  Why can't I download it from the website?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

    Are you doing a Software Update or downloading directly from Apple?
    If Software Update, instead download the combo 10.6.8 update from here. Use Disk Utility (on your hard drive in application/utilities)  to repair permissions, then apply the combo update, and when done, repair permissions again. You'll be at 10.6.8 at that point.

  • Why can't i download itunes? Windows error

    Everytime I try to download Itunes it says it cannot succesfully download due to windows error or itunes helper is not installed correctly. I've already tried EVERYTHING apple has told me to do and it still has not helped. PLEASE help!!

    This is directly from the Windows support forums for Error 126

          In services.msc find the Automatic Updates service and double-click on it.
    1. Click on the Log On Tab and make sure the "Local System Account" is selected as the logon account  and the box for "allow service to interact with desktop" is UNCHECKED.
    2. Under the Hardware Profile section in the Log On Tab, make sure the service is enabled.
      3. On the General Tab, the Startup Type should be Automatic, if not, drop the box down and select  Automatic.
    4. Under "Service Status" on the General tab, the service should be Started, click the Start button enable it.
    Repeat the steps above for the service "Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)".

          REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL
          REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
          REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
          REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
          REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
          REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL

  • Why can't i download itunes onto my PC?

    Does anyone know why I can't download iTunes onto my Toshiba laptop. I'm running Windows 7.
    I have even tried earlier versions of iTunes and had no luck.
    Can anyone help?

    Possibly, but unless additional information is provided we have no clue why it will not install either.
    Provide as much detail as possible, including exact error messages being displayed.

  • Why can't I download itunes 10.5 and why has it been like this for days and apple hasn't fixed it yet?

    I have tried multiple times to download itunes on my pc with windows 7. At this point I am incredibly frustrated and have come to the conclusion that a) apple so doesn't care about the pc users that purchase their products b) itunes is apparently not meant to be user friendly since many people can't even download it and c) the people employed by apple aren't that bright since that can't make a working version of a program that they have put out not once or twice but over 10 times...

    Hi there,
    I had the same experience. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, with Windows 7 Home Edition, 32 bit.
    I tried to install iTunes 10.5 and it started installing, then, just before the end of the process, came up with the following error message:
    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    Of course, no information on what the program that couldn't be run was! At first I tried the usual stuff, like scanning for viruses etc. but nothing doing. Then I started Googling. In the end, I uninstalled all Apple stuff from my computer. A lot of it I had to do manually, going in to the program files drive and deleting stuff from there, but some of it wouldn't delete as it was saying it was open in Windows Explorer. In the end, I managed to delete the iTunes folders by selecting one of my mp3 tracks saved on the computer and right clicking 'open with'. I then browsed my pc to locate the iTunes folders still outstanding and was able to right click and delete them that way.
    Then emptied the recycle bin and did a restart before going online and downloading iTunes 10.5.
    Thankfully it worked, but its taken me a good few hours and made me really quite tetchy! I've never had this problem before, so I hope this is going to be a one off.
    One thing that doesn't seem to be working is that, despite how many times I tell it that my preference is for the iTunes Media folder to be located on my external hard drive, it keeps putting it back to the C drive! Didn't have that issue with the last version. Grrrrrr. Arrrrgggh.
    Hope you manage to get yours sorted - this is affecting a lot of people by the look of things.

  • Why can't I download iTunes to my PC?

    Every time I try to download iTunes to my pc (win xp) it says there's an error and I can't download it and it wasn't installed and no modifications were made to my pc ... so how do I get the iTunes downloaded???

    The way they are referring to XP Mode is probably the native VM, not that iTunes is running using "run in XP SP3 mode"
    FWIW, I played around and use Windows 8, along with 7, and even using Compatibility Mode offerings "recommended" or offered by Windows will not work. In fact it should run fine.
    If you are running iTunes in a XP VM that might be an issue. Apple has had trouble with 64-bit and putting support files in the wrong directory and not in Program Data where they belong, And that has caused issues to surface now, mistakes made in the past; the need to really sweep and manually uninstall first.
    A clean install of Windows 7 SP1 64-bit or even Windows 8 Preview have been fine and no trouble. Windows 7 had 10.4 which I uninstalled first. 8 was clean install.QuickTimes 7.7.1 was just posted but is not a component of or bundled into iTunes, was posted on 10/26.

  • Why can't I download itunes to my windows 7 computer

    Why can't Idowload itunes to my windows 7computer?

    Now I want to download the iTunesSetup.exe file, I only get the thank you page. On some occasions I get the 'save' button window (very seldom it goes to where I can select where I want to DL the file to) but overal, nothing happens. No download starts.
    With that one, try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
    If you can't get a working installer via the standard download links, try the following download links instead:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe

  • Why can't i download itunes on my windows 8 computer?
