Why can't I install newer version of iTunes on my Windows Vista Home Premium?

Hi!
Why can't I install newer version of iTunes on my Windows Vista Home Premium?
I states that I am missing essential files in order to install. It doesn't say which ones.
Tried to uninstall the old iTunes so now I'm caught without iTunes.
Any thoughts?

Why can't I create new version in iTunes 11?

I have iTunes 11.0.2.26.
I just bought two HD movies from the iTunes store. I have a 160 GB iPod Classic, and I want to upload the movies to my iPod. I know you ahve to go to File>Create New Version>Create iPod or iPhone Version, but those options are grayed out on my computer. I have already done this once with iTunes 10 and a different movie, but now iTunes will not let me do it. Does anybody know why and what I need to do to be able to convert this? Thanks in advance.

Found the answer at the link below. This is the dumbest process, but at least you can redownlad your movies in SD in order to sync them on your phone or iPod. Hope this helps someone else...

Why can i NOT INSTALL latest version of itunes

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Why can't i download new versions of itunes on my PC?

I can see from the amount of discussion on the net that this is a major problem and I have tried all the suggestions I can find (delete cookies, download Quicktime separately etc) but I am starting to get very frustrated as I can't get any music on my (now) 3 month old ipod. Plus I have just bought my son a touch and he can't figure it out either.
Any suggestions?

Installing itunes 10 on windows vista home premium

I know this may have been covered here but i need to know how to change the permissions on the admin account on my computer so i can install system services like bonjour. Ive tried to install itunes 10 multiple times and it keeps coming up with "the service failed to start. verify you have sufficient priveleges to install system services." I thought i did being logged in on as admin....
btw im not tech head so explanations keep them simple!
this is giving me so much headache!!! i just want to upgrade the itunes it shouldnt be this hard..

Ive tried to install itunes 10 multiple times and it keeps coming up with "the service failed to start. verify you have sufficient priveleges to install system services."
We can sometimes get past that one by disabling the BonJour Service prior to an iTunes install.
In your Start Menu, right-click "Computer" and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications"
Open "Services". Maximise the window to better see what's going on.
Right-click on the BonJour Service and select "Properties".
In the "General" Tab, change the Startup type to "Disabled" and click OK.
Restart the PC (very important).
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through any better this time?

Installing itunes 8.1 on vista home premium - please help!

This is my first ever post in a forum because i can usually work it out from other peoples questions... but i'm at the end of my tether with this:
I've just bought a new Dell inspiron 1545, o.s windows vista home premium.
I'm trying to install itunes 8.1 but am getting the following problem...
I can get to the part where it starts installing, and then it gets to a certain point and just... stops.
It's not freezing or even giving me an error message, it just stops!
So i leave it to see if it will start again, and it eventually times out!
You can understand how frustrating this is because there is no rhyme or reason to WHEN it stops (sometimes 20% complete, sometimes 96% completes - and sometimes it never even starts).
I've read up on many different forums (i spent 5 hours last night on this) and it seems lots of people are having problem with itunes and vista, but none of the threads contain this actual problem.
i've tried a few suggestions: delete all history and cookies e.t.c / try opening a different browser before going to the apple site / click 'save' instead of 'run' and alter the name its saved under, but none of the above has worked.
So basically, if anyone can help, I would dearly appreciate it... it's quite possibly driving me insane.
Many thanks.

I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

Can't install new version of itunes or quicktime

Like others, I get the error message Apple Application Support needed to run itunes Helper. Uninstall itunes then instal again. I have repeatedly tried to instal new version of itunes having uninstalled (following troubleshooting page) the old version. I also get the Microsoft windows message Windows installer stopped working and was closed. When I try to install Quick Time on its own I get the message "An error occurred during the installation of assembly Microsoft VC.80,CRT.... What can I do?

In general, these ones tend to be caused by underlying problems on the PC that can prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to try to fix the Windows Update issues. If we can get Windows Updates flowing again, that generally clears up the iTunes install errors +en passant.+
Head into your Windows Update, and check for any new updates. Do any fail? If so, open your Update History and doubleclick on the failure entries to bring up a small box with alphanumeric error message codes. Are you getting 8000FFFFs? (They often seem to be associated with an iTunes-install 0x800736FD.)
If you're getting 8000FFFFs, try the following Microsoft document:
[Windows Update Error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
Head back to Windows Update, and stock up on any updates you're behind on. Once you're completely up to date in that regard, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Can't install new version of iTunes to my PC

I've been trying to install the new version of iTunes since it was released with no luck. The previous version was uninstalled from my computer but the installation process for the new version freezes at various different points, most recently at "calculating space," which doesn't seem to be too far into the process. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium version 6.0 if that helps.
Any asssitance would be appreciated!

If you're getting "error 1015", it means your phone was previously hacked to downgrade the iOS or jailbreak and the modem baseband was altered. You can NEVER update or restore it to a stock iOS again.
Search Google for alternative solutions to error 1015, but they all will leave the phone in a hacked, unstable state. (Hint: it will take more than DFU mode.)

I installed new version of itunes and I'm getting error message 0xe8000084&oxe800002dwhen trying to sync iphone5 what can I do?

I just installed new version of iTunes when I go to sync iPhone 5 keep getting error oxe8000084&oxe800002d is there a solution to this?

Try this for Windows 7 (64 bit),
Close iTunes - Go to Task Manager – Click the “Services” tab - select “Apple Mobile Device” - left click and choose “Stop Service” - wait a few seconds - left click and choose “Start Service” - wait a few seconds - open iTunes - connect your iDevice.
Did it work?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).
