Why does Desktop say iTunes is not installed?

When I connect my PlayBook or phone to my PC and click on MUSIC, it says "iTunes is not installed".
However, i do have iTunes installed on my PC.
Any idea what the problem is and how to solve it?
Thanks

As it turns out.......I had to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes.
All is good!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I was cleaning up my laptop to free up some disk space. I now can't get into my itunes ??? It's saying Itunes was not installed correctly error 7 (windows error 14003)
What do I need to re-install to get my itunes back?

Is there also another message, Rob, citing a particular file? If so what is the name of the file? (Precise spelling, please.)
Are you running XP, Vista or 7? (I'm assuming 2000 must have just been a slip of the fingers.)

When I install the program, all go good but when i open the program, it say: iTunes was not installed correctly, Please reinstall Itunes, After i do this but the same

Howdy Allux345.
After multiple installations of iTunes it can be frustrating when the issue isnt resolved. I was able to locate the following knowledge base article that specifically addresses the "Error 7" you are recieving.
iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3074
The Resolution section has different steps depending on what version of the Windows Operating System you're using. Since it can be a bad installation of these Windows files, pay close attention to the instructions on repairing if the file already exhists.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities with your question.

If it is clean connect a 2nd accessory of the same kind to see if you need to replace the accessory or continue troubleshooting the phone.

Can you browse the Time Machine drive from Finder?
If you can and you know where the picture was stored ie on your desktop you can browse through the folder structure to the picture copy it and paste it somewhere on your new install before right clicking it and 'set as desktop background'

Computer says itunes drivers not installed?

computer doesnt recognize ipods. tried to update itunes and it shut my computer down and blew out all my ports. had computer repaired, seems that update worked but cant plug in ipods to sync music and the box comes up saying the itunes drivers not installed. how do i install them? im a little hesitant to download itunes again after what happened last time, so just wanted some advice.

No, you will not lose your library. The actual installation and where your files are stored are in separate locations. When you uninstall, you are only uninstalling the program, and therefore, your library will not be affected.
Only thing to note is if you changed the location of your itunes library, you will have to tell itunes where you keep your library, so itunes can load it from there.

I have uninstalled the proram and tried reinstalling and get the same error message. The other error message I get is "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". I have tried that twice with no luck. Can someone help me get my music back???

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Where you using the following document as a guide for that? (The 7 can be produced by damage to the related software components, so the Verify iTunes and related components are uninstalled step is quite important.)

CC desktop says "You have not installed any applications yet"

I've previously installed Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge, all working fine.
Today my CC desktop says YOUR APPS (0) - "You have not installed any applications yet".
I've tried logging out of CC desktoop app and loggin in again.
Tried loggin out of CC desktop, deleting OPM.db file and logging in again. Both unsuccessful.
The applications run fine.
Running Windows 7 Pro 64
How can I rectify this please.
Thanks
Stuart

Found part of the problem.
I had changed the language to English International in the CC desktop application. Changing language from international to north american allowed me to see all the apps.
However I only see Photoshop and Bridge installed. I also have lightroom installed, but it does not show in my list of installed apps.

I was doing the update for itunes and now I can't get into iTunes, the box that comes up says iTunes was not installed properly and I should re install it. I have thousands of songs on iTunes, will I lose all?

Whatis going on with iTunes. I can't get back on after doing an udate. It says the update failed, but I can't get back in to try again.

Go into Programs and Features and uninstall:
iTunes
Apple Application Support
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Software Update
Reboot. Download a fresh copy of iTunes. Right click on the exe file and select Run as Administrator.
I did this and it reinstalled as if nothing happened. All of my songs, podcasts and playlists were still there.
