Why i cant reinstall itunes?

i have itunes installed on my laptop running vista, i was using it for my itouch sync. everything was ok and fine till one day itunes became corrupted.
having purchase the new ipad3, i need to use itunes to load files and everything. so decided to uninstall itunes and reinstall it again but theres always an error that says:
"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."
"the installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured. errors occured during installation. your system has not been modified.
pls run the installer again or click finish to exit."
what am i missing so i can reinstall itunes back again. hope someone can give me advice or help about it. thanks in advance, best regards ...

  • Why i cant get itunes 10.5

    why i cant get itunes 10.5

    iTunes v10.5 requires that your iMac is running Leopard OS 10.5.x. What OS are you running?
    What model iMac do you have? Then we can determine if your iMac can run Leopard.

  • I need help!!!! i cant reinstall itunes without the itunes64 folder and i already deleted every aspect of itunes from the computer i need help

    ineed help!!!! i cant reinstall itunes with out the itunes 64 folder and i already deleteted every aspect of itunes from the computer!!!!!

    (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
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. 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:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Why i cant connect iTunes Store but Internet can connect?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I cant reinstall itunes software on my computer

    why cant i reinstall itunes software on my computer

    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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Cant uninstall itunes to reinstall as itunes.msi file is not where computer thinks it should be.

    Had a problem on the PC which has effected itunes which no longer opens (some source files not available).  Tried to reload itunes to repair and cant uninstall itunes to reinstall as itunes.msi file is not where computer thinks it should be to uninstall.

    With suggestion from the forum i have used the MS cleanup utility and remove entries for itunes, itunes will still not uninstall. I cannot delete folders in program files either (dll files wont delete).  So at the moment i am completely stuck.  I cant uninstall itunes on my PC, i cant reinstall itunes from the Apple website because it thinks i already have the latest version loaded.  can anyone help me get passed this sticky and akward situation.
    Itunes fan with no music.

    That's crazy. A serial number is not required.

  • 3.0 upgrade problems...do I need to reinstall iTunes?

    I purchased/downloaded the upgrade for my 1st generation Touch. During the install, XP launches the New Hardware Wizard and it prompts for the driver location. When it can't be located, XP says the hardware isn't installed properly. iTunes gives a 1604 error. I can't get it past this point on this pc.
    I've connected to another pc, it sees the Touch fine and says it is in recovery mode and proceeds to restore it to factory defaults. I can then connect it to the original pc and sync it back to 2.1, and everthing is like it was.
    When I try to do the upgrade again, the same thing happens as before.
    I've seen suggestions to remove iTunes completely (I'm running version 8.2), and reinstalling. My concern with this is I have numerous extensive playlists for other Ipods, and have a thousand plus songs in my library checked for syncing with my Touch. I've seen where I can save the iTunes Music Library.XML file which I believe will save the playlists, but what about saving the checked songs.
    Any help/thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    OK -- I had the same issue. I spend over 10 phone hours with them to eventually figure out that there's a driver that didn't get properly handled for my upgrade (running Vista Ultimate 64). I ended up having to restore the phone (and upgrade it) on a different computer and then restoring the data back from the original computer. Oddly enough, everyone thought I was gonna lose my photos and notes -- but they stayed on the phone (it's a 2G, btw).
    I'm assuming that you've uninstalled/installed iTunes and all its related components (Apple Mobile Device Driver, Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Quicktime) -- the real key is uninstalling the Apple Mobile Device Driver completely.
    Try this:
    Detach your phone and reboot the computer.
    Open the device manager (run "devmgmr.msc") and keep it visible. Keep your eye on the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section of the Device Manager.
    When you plug in your iPhone (perhaps iPod too - haven't tried it), you'll see an Apple driver pop up for just a few seconds. You have to act quickly, but right-click on that driver and select "Uninstall" -- don't ask me why, but even reinstalling iTunes doesn't catch removing this driver.
    Disconnect your iPhone, wait a few seconds then reconnect it. If you're running Vista Ultimate 64, you may still have a driver problem - "Driver not intended for this platform." That was the last step that allowed me to reconnect the iPhone and then restore it.
    Good Luck!

  • Cant install itunes 10.5

    why i cant install itunes 10.5 on my alienware windows 7 64-bit? ive been trying for 3 days now,still it says error on windows installer package. can anyone help me??

    Open regedit using "run as administrator".
    Go to the registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInstallerUserDataS-1-5-1 8Components
    ...and selected the folder DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8
    (there are three folders with very similar names A,B & C you want the first one)
    Right click & choose Permissions
    Click Advanced, and then the Owner tab
    Type  (not administrators) in current owners field and check the box to replace the owner on subcontainer and volumes
    Apply settings and then click Permissions tab. Once again, add  (not administrators) to the list of permission entries, then click edit and check all permission boxes. Also click the 2 bottom boxes concerning the inheritable permissions.
    [Note: In my case I was a member of administrators and administrators was already set in all of the above settings - I've no idea why it needed to be set to my user rather than the administrator group, anyway it solved the problem for me]
    Click OK
    Now back on the main permissions tab, add  in the user name window and then check full control and read checkboxes. Click OK.
    On the menu bar click file > exit
    But if u have the message pop up more then once then just make the permissions for the entier S-1-5-18Components folder

  • After installing update failed cant access itunes and reinstall didnt work

    I was prompted to install the new itunes update when I accessed itunes today. (I was in the middle of accessing my music to send for a show, Im a aerial performer, magician and burlesque performer). The instal failed and now I can not open Itunes at all. I tried to install again and that failed. I keep getting "this application failed to start because MSVCR80.dill was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." followed by this message "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (windows error 126)"
    What do I do? I need to access my music... I went to the website and downloaded the app again and nothing...it failed too.
    What do I do? I cant afford to have lost 1000's of songs many of which I paid to have mixed and created for my performances.

    I have finally found a solution!!! Yea! (It was in an obscure hard to find support article from apple only found after googling error messages, though why it wouldn't come up in an apple search is silly to me) So... you can not just uninstall Itunes because the problem lies within the support software that comes with itunes.
    You must uninstall IN THIS ORDER (per Apple)
    1. Itunes
    2. Apple Software Update
    3. Apple Mobile Device Support
    4. Bonjour
    5. Apple Application Support
    6. Icloud
    Then you must restart your computer (I got an error message that some files could not be opened because aspects were missing) I then downloaded the most current Itunes from the computer and the problem was gone. All files came up with the new download. Program opened with no issue.
    Hope this helps the rest of you having this issue.

    Why is my itunes not installing properly?
    I installed itunes day before yesterday,  I spent hours last night linking all my music photograph and movie files, its a new windows 8 laptop.
    I plugged in my 64GB ipad 3 rebooted it and reloaded all the information I wanted on it, took hours... finally completed this this morning. After this I restarted the laptop to configure my icloud link for the laptop (which I installed last night while I was loading files, I chose to restart later)
    on completion I turned my laptop off for a few hours, when I turned it back on I went to itunes to connect my iphone to do the same and I got this message:
    iTunes exe - Entry Point Not Found
    The procedure entry point
    AVCFPlayerAppliesMediaSelectionCriteriaAutomaticallyKey could not
    be located in dynamiclink library F:\Programmes\iTunes.dll
                                                                                               OK
    then after pressing 'OK' the following message:

    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
    Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    I went back to apple website to reinstall iTunes, first reinstalled it same again, then unsinstalled it and the reinstalled it, same again.
    The same thing happened with my old lap top and I replaced it with this new one at the start of the week.
    Has anyone any idea what is going on and how to rectify this problem, I am now going on 3 weeks without iTunes.
