WHY CANT I REINSTALL ITUNES?

IM SOO ANGRYYYYYYYY
I just can't install itunes. it all started when I was updating my itunes to itunes 9.2.1 (the latest version) so it was doing its typical upgrading and then my computer crashes (sometimes it just happens) so Im like yeah, whatever. I reboot and try to open itunes but it says, "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed". Im thinking...what....and so i try to remove itunes in Add or Remove programs list and it comes up with this little box that says
'the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." and underneath is is a drop down menu thing where you can trype in the alternate path or whatever. I click cancel and it says " the installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it." And I really don't understand any of this at this point...
Ive tried deleting some files and what not, and I go to search from the start menu, search itunes, and attempt to delete all the files that come up but "cannot delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk" comes up.
All these little boxes telling me something is can't happen for some stupid reason is really getting me angry.
so im actually so angry right now and i try to install itunes without removing it, but of course that wont work. it says "A later version of iTunes is already installed on this computer."
WHAT DO I DO IM GOING CRAZY! Ive tried reading up on it, Ive come across a few similar problems, but none of the resolutions will help me solve it. I might not have dug deep enough yet, but I am tired of searching, I just want someone who can tell me straight what I should do. Im also pretty curious if anyone has the same problem as me? I cant ask anyone I know for help because IM supposed to be the computer/itunes whiz of my family and friends, and its not like any of them have had this problem before. Im just at my wits end, and it's hard living without itunes...hahaha

Hi there,
We found an answer to the problem!! We restored our computer to a date about a month ago when everything was working properly. Then we could uninstall itunes and Quick Time and reinstall with no problem. We disabled automatic updates because we suspect that an update within the last month created our problem. Our library of music was all still there, current right up to our last download!
Good luck! I hope this works for you too.

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • Why cant I get itunes to work in windows 8? I hate this  update issue nothing works- aggh!

    Why cant I get itunes update to work in windows 8?
    I tried running the new itunes installer since it couldn't update itunes, then I tried the installer with
    compatability checked. The older version worked fine till an update came out and now nothing works
    (sync /app updates/ photo uploads)- it does still play music on the computer.
    My son had older (windows 7) computer but if I sync there it tells me I'm wiped and stuck with his music.
    I'm really hating itunes and ready to trash the phone etc. Im due for upgrade anyway.
    With all these stupid upgrades why hasn't this issue been addressed. 8 has been out for awhile now.
    Has anyone been able to fix this issue? Please share how!

    You will need iTunes 9.2.1 at minimum to access the iTunes Store. Earlier versions will not work.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    but it would be best to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6, since it's probable that eventually the iTunes Store will no longer support iTunes 9.x. and newer versions of iTunes will not run on Mac OS X 10.4.

  • Why cant i download itunes 10.6.3?

    why cant i download itunes 10.6.3?

    If you'd calmly ask a question rather than ranting and cursing, you'd probably save yourself a lot of grief and anguish. iTunes 10.6.3 is still available for Mac OS X 10.5.8.

    I recently uninstalled ebay app on my 9300 because it was very slow.
    Why cant i reinstall it ?

    No such option exists. I'm having to use an android phone temporarily provided by my employer and although it has an option to have a weather widget on the lock screen, it doesn't update automatically and the overall use of the android phone is awful in comparison. Kludgy is the most accurate description I can provide. Not a chance my personal money would ever be used for such a kludgy and grossly insecure mobile OS.

  • WHY CANT I INSTALL ITUNES LATES VERSION

    When im installing Itunes, an error comes up:
    Cant delete the old version of apple software update. Contact your technical group.
    Why!!!

    Ok i did that, but when i tried to delete the apple software update it couldnt find it.
    okay. try downloading and installing the Windows Installer CleanUp utility.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    in CleanUp, find and remove the installation configuration information for Apple Software Update.
    does the itunes install go through after that?

  • Why cant i download itunes or quicktime?

    every SINGLE time i try to download itunes it says we need quick time so i go back and try to download quicktime first and its telling me i cant because i need quicktime. i try to download quicktime& itunes at the same time but it still shows that i need quick time.
    in addition when its installing i gets to removing some kind of quicktime files under status and thats when it says it failed.

    If you'd calmly ask a question rather than ranting and cursing, you'd probably save yourself a lot of grief and anguish. iTunes 10.6.3 is still available for Mac OS X 10.5.8.

  • Why cant  i get itunes to download on my laptop?

    Everytime i try to download itunes onto my toshiba satellite laptop an error window appears and says that windows has stopped working and is checking for a solution to the problem, when i let it run, it never comes up with a solution.. how do i fix this?

    it says apple application support not found apple apllication support is required to run itunes helper, please uninstall itunes, then reinstall error 2 n i get error 2 (windows error 2)
    that's perfect, thanks.
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • HT5581 Why cant i get ITunes to open up on my windows 7/ 64bit I have tryed all kinds of stuff and still no luck?

    Look on my desk top HP running windows 7/ 64bit. I can not for the world of me get ITunes to open up at all and have tried all .??

    Many thanks for your post. I've been trying for days to get this sorted and was getting well fed up with I-Tunes. Really thought i'd never get it working again. Tried un-installing it, loading older versions and they still wouldn't work.
    Came across your suggestion by chance and top man - it worked..!!!!
    How you even knew what to do is beyond me - but thanks so much. I really was pulling my hair out.
    You need to put your post over the Web as there seem to be loads of people having the same trouble.
    Thanks again.

  • Why cant i open itunes 10.7?

    I have a MacBook Pro and have just purchased an iphone 5, you need to have the latest version of itunes which is 10.7, I have just downloaded it and it wont let me open it as it says you need a OSX or version 10.6, I have bith and it still wont open. Any ideas?

    Yeah ... best to take what you hear with a pinch of salt, and get second opinions if possible. (Including with advice from me.)
    If your MacBook Pro is compatible with Snow Leopard or higher operating systems (OS X 10.6.x or 10.7.x, or 10.8.x), then if you update your operating system to a higher version, then you should be able to install iTunes 10.7.0.21.
    That will cost some money ... so it's best to check before buying the new operating system that your Mac can run it.
    I'd check in at the MacBook Pro community. Let them know which particular MacBook Pro model you're running, and ask if it's compatible with a newer operating system that Leopard.
    Here's a link to that community:
