Windows crash - fresh re-install - iTunes / iPod questions

My computer recently crashed. I have had to do a fresh install of Windows XP (after formatting the hard drive). I initially thought I had lost all of my music but now believe otherwise having read some posts on here.
I have a 60B Video iPod and it contains my entire digital music collection. So it looks like I can manually re-add my music files from the iPod to my HDD and then re-sync to iTunes.
However, I need to be sure that once I have re-installed iTunes that it will allow me to register my iPod to it since of course my IPod is already regsitered to my PC on the old install of XP / iTunes. Any potential issues here or will it let me install / add the music / sync it all back together?
Any input or pointers would be appreciated/

Bump. (I hope this isn't against any rules- I didn't see it anywhere).

PC crashed, had tot install iTunes again so my songs are gone.
How can I put the songs I have on my iPod back on my pc and in iTunes? Cause now, if I connect my iPod to my PC iTunes will delete all my songs.
Plz help me out.

you need third party software..
go to www.versiontracker.com
there are many programs that will allow you to take the information on your ipod and transfer it onto your computer.

I get an Error 7 (Windows error 126) when installing itunes

I get an Error 7 (Windows error 126) when installing itunes to my laptop. Got this after last upgrade attempt. Uninstalled and tried reinstalling, but get same message

If that particular Error 7 message is preceeded by a different error message titled "iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found", try the following user tip:
iTunes for Windows 11.1.4.62: "The procedure entry point: ?videoTracks@QTMovie@ [...] could not be located ..." error messages when launching iTunes

Error: 0x80040707 - Access Denied while installing itunes +ipod messed up

Yesterday morning my ipod (nano) was working fine, and i plugged it in to upload music and it said something about installing a new version of itunes on my ipod. i clicked yes, and somewhere during installation i assume, it got unplugged by one of my family members wanting to use a USB outlet. well, it deleted everything on my ipod, and then it wouldnt recognize my ipod in itunes.
i went to the site, did all the restore, restart, retry, crap until i got to reinstall. when i try to reinstall itunes, or remove "ipod for windows 01 -09-06" [not sure about that date] i get "Error: 0x80040707" in a popup window, then another saying "Access Denied"
Before i tried to reinstall itunes, it still wouldnt recognize my ipod either. when i plugged it in, it would say "removable disk: f" like it was just a usb memory stick or something. i really have no idea what to do as i am new with the whole itunes stuff, and have previously used musicmatch.
thanks

Hi there...grrr...I always hate this type of error because sometimes it is problematic to fix.
First off, remove iTunes and Quicktime and do a nice, fresh clean install. Save it to your harddrive and install it from there instead of running the installation over the internet.
Also, try this as it has helped a few with this particular bug
1. Run the setup program and PAY ATTENTION to the folder where you are installing the software. Keep clicking on the "Next" button and here it is, the progress bar.
2. When the progress bar reaches 100% and you get the 0x80040707 error message, DO NOT click "Accept" or "Ok" or whatever says the button in the error window. Instead proceed as I describe:
3. Go to the the folder where the program is supposed to be installed. Yes, it's there!. Copy this folder to another location (for example, to the desktop).
4. Now click "Accept" or "Ok" in the 0x80040707 error window. This will erase almost every file in the folder where the program was originally installed. Who cares? You have a copy of it.
5. Now overwrite this almost-empty original installation folder with the one you back-upped.
6. If you want you can even create manually a shortcut of the EXE file that launches the software wherever you like. Double click it.
Let me know if it helps. Anyone else with a suggestion, feel free to throw it out.

Windows installer will not install ITunes 7 or Quick Time

I previously ran iTunes 4 with an earlier model iPod. Recently upgraded to iPod for video which was not recognized by iTunes 4. Attempted to download updated iTunes software and continue to be unsuccessful. Here's what happens:
I am able to download both iTunes 7 and QuickTime to my hard drive, but when invoke the respecive .exe files I get the same error message which reads, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

I have never heard of the respecive.exe file in regards to itunes or ipod. Are you sure you followed the troubleshooting steps word for word? I've had some people read the follow, "Empty your temp folder contents" to mean delete the temp folder. You have to be careful to follow them closely. I still sometimes have to reread some steps only to find out I didn't read it correctly the first time.
With that said, how do you know its a windows installer problem? If you were installing itunes & QT using their standalone installers there won't be a file called respecive.exe for either. You should be launching itunessetup.exe to install itunes (which can possibly contain QT). I forget what the standalone QT installer is called but I know it isn't respecive.exe.
Here are the steps I suggest to people who have trouble installing itunes. Please read them over first and ask a question if something isn't clear.
1. Uninstall itunes and ipod software
2. Reboot your PC
3. Re-download the itunes installer and QT and save this installer to your desktop
4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes,msi
6. Clean out your temp folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
7. Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
8. Reboot your PC.
9. Now try to go and install everything again. I'd do QT first then follow with itunes. Remember to disable virus/firewall/privacy/web accelerators before launching the install.

ITunes Error 7 (Windows error 127) after installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows

After installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows (latest build), I get an error pop-up saying:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 127)
I've gone thru the uninstall, reboot and reinstall process three or four times now. Still nothing.
Furthermore, after clicking okay to the error, it continues to pop up on it's own every 45 seconds or so.
There was one other error I came across after trying to launch iTunes after installation.
See both error messages here:

Brilliant. Thanks a lot. I've wasted a couple of hours on this nasty bug, & trying all the other suggestions across various threads again and again.
I now find I had the same registry entry hanging on, despite uninstalling & wiping everything again and again. Having now deleted this key, (I don't even have an iPod), & iTunes 11.1.14 now opens at long last.
But WHY is this bug not fixed? Enough people are suffering with this across the forum. WHERE is Apple support on this?
It should have been added to their page at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
by now, why hasn't it???
It's not good enough!
Re:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls]
"C:\\Program Files\\iPod\\bin\\iPodService.exe"=dword:80000000
AHA! This entry for iPodService.exe still exhisted. So I had no folders on the PC, no installs on the PC and no services running.... BUT this was still in the Registry.
Step 5 - Delete only the Registry entry above. NO REBOOT
Step 6 - Reinstall iTunes64.exe

Windows installer won't install iTunes 10.5 Windows Vista 64

Could that be the issue ? Can anyone help ? Thanks Sam

Repair your Apple Software Update:
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install

Windows 8 will not install itunes 11.1.3. Why?

I am currently trying to install itunes on my new laptop and it give me the error message, " This app can't run on your pc." I have downloaded the Windows 8 64 bit version 3 times and they all don't work. I have gone to 'My Computer' > 'Properties' to see that I have Windows 8 64 bit. I have not idea what to do at this point. Please Help. Thank you.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first 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?

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 installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Windows installer error when installing iTunes 10.5

Every time I try to download the new iTunes I get the following error:
"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."

Hi!! I finally found a solution
I´m Sure this one will work for everyone
-First you have to uninstall all Apple Software using Control Panel
-Download Unlocker Software from softsonic heres the link http://tinyurl.com/3e8gj2h
or google it
-Install Unlocker
-Go to Start and type this in search: %programdata%
-ProgramData window will open, so find apple folders
-Right click in each apple folder and find Unlocker in the options
-Choose Delete each apple folders (with unlocker program)
-Go to My PC, C Local Disk and find Program Files
-Look for Apple folders and Delete them (with Unlocker)
-Find a Folder (in Program Files) called Common Files
-Delete all Apple Folders (in common files) with Unlocker
- Empty your trash can (thats what i did)
-Reboot
-Install Itunes
Note: You can Reboot or use Safe Mode to use Unlocker if it doesnt work.
....and that's All
AFTER Days of frustration LOL
Good vibe, Love and Blessings for all!!

I have windows 7 & when I install iTunes

I have a windows 7 & when I install iTunes all the icons on my desktop turn into iTunes icon & any icon I click on opens the iTunes app

First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal?

When starting iTunes get the following message " Apple Application Support is required" uninstall and re-install iTunes. Question will I lose all records currently in iTunes ?? H=

Get a message on Itunes to uninstall and re-install Itunes since " Apple Application Support is required" Will this cause me to lose all records? Is there some to avoid this have tried to repair No LUCK

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.
