Wont install....  IM GOING TO DIE, please help...please

ok, i just got my ipod mini...i am atempting to install it and what not so that i can use it. I put in the disk and follow all insturcuions till i get to the part where you test your ipod by connecting it. (i have not gotten to itunes yet) for the last 45 mins it has been saying "reboting your ipod, please wait" and on the ipod it says do no disconect
its been so long, do i have to start over now, whats going on?
please help
thanks

John,
Reset your iPod and disconnect it when the Apple logo appears.
Now, dispense with the installation cd and download and install iTunes 4.9. Do this first.
Then download and install the latest iPod updater, then restart your computer.
Run the updater program and connect your iPod when prompted, not before, and follow the set up procedure.
If it gets stuck on any part of the process, click on the little X in the top right corner. Sometimes it gets stuck and needs a little nudge.
Post back if you encounter any difficulties.

    I just bought a new ipod and it only works with 7.0. I'm pretty much ready to throw my computer out a window...

    That's an unusual key to be having cited under these circumstances. It looks to be a problem down in your downloaded applications area.
    Are you installing iTunes from an account with full administrative privileges?

  • Flash 9 wont install on my MAC!! HELP!!

    Hi all-
    Everytime I try to install Flash 9 on my MAC (non-Intel) I
    get this weird error message:
    Error message 1008:5,-5000
    It then says that I don't have "Access Priveledge"
    I have uninstalled Flash 8, but it still won't install. I
    read that the only fix is to reload Tiger! Can that be true?? For
    Flash 9? There has to be another way! Help!!
    J

    Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
    If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as" - DO NOT mount the DMG ir run it yet!
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
    Empty the trash
    Reboot
    Mount the DMG and run the installer.
    BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.

  • Itunes wont install properly? please help!!

    hello,
    iTunes is being very difficult atm! reinstalled the iTunes software and the error message comes 'iTunes wont install properly...'.
    I have run a diagnostics test and hoping someone can point in the direction of how to fix it! cannot even connect my iphone device to it.
    please help!
    thanks

    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.

  • I uninstalled firefox and tried reinstalling it but it wont install can someone please help

    i uninstalled firefox and tried reinstalling it but it wont install can someone please help

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps to install Firefox.
    You may need to re-download a new Firefox copy.

    and if i remove itunes totally will i lose all of my music?
    thanks joe

    Hello Razorbacksfan88,
    First, in order to check which version of iTunes is installed, launch iTunes and from the Help Menu, choose "About iTunes." This will show you which version is installed. If it is not 8.0.2.20, and you did not get any specific error messages when installing iTunes, then try the steps in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes will not remove your music. The music is stored in your User's folder (or on whatever drive you have your music stored on) and is separate from the program itself.
    If you follow the article and are getting any error messages not mentioned there, post the entire error message here and it will help isolate the cause of the issue.

  • Itunes wont install, please help

    I know this issue has been raised several times and I have read most of the posts and still cant fix the issue. I have updated Itunes today and since trying to update it I can now longer load it. I have tried uninstalling everything about 10 times now and then reistalling but it dont work. If I click on the Itunes logo it comes up with the message itunes.exe is missing and the apple software update wont install either. To top it all off I needed to restore factory settins on my iphone but because of the itunes crash and the fact that I cant reinstal anyting I cannot do this so am without a phone now. I am now at the end of my tether after spending about 7 hours trying to rectify the issue so I could really do with some advice? I have tried the repair function but this has done nothing either!

    This morning I have uninstalled everything again and tried to individually install all the parts, quicktime and itunes comes up with the warning fatal error during installation or someting similar and the apple softwareupdate still does not install.
