Can't install/download itunes Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
I have a new HP 505 Touchsmart running Vista 64 bit.  I cannot seem to download and install ITunes 8 from the Apple webpage.  It says downloading, but then it sits at 0% for about 40 minuts, and then times out.  Any ideas??
Thanks

Han,

if you are still having problems installing iTunes try this solution that I used for a family member having the same error:
go to start>>control panel>>user accounts >>create a new user account that has admin
in the new user account try to install iTunes for all users.

If it installs, log out and go to your usual account, check you have access to iTunes and can use the program, set it to find your music and create the library.
Once your happy its installed and fully working you can delete the spare user account that you made.

Caro · Answer

If you have an older computer try downloading an older version of itunes from www.oldapps.com, I keep getting there is a problem with this windows installer package. a program required for this install to complete could not be run. and then itunes reverses the install. I have went back and downloaded a 7 itunes and it downloaded just fine. I really hate vista.

i have vista ultimate 64 as well I have no problem installing it. what you have to do is install itunes. then go to the apple.com website and get quicktime for I tunes ( its more of an addon for itunes)

rose · Answer

You have to go into explorer and clear all of your cookies, your temp. files, and your internet history.  As soon as you do that, it'll load.  I don't know why.

YOU HAVE TO SIGN INTO YOUR ACCOUNT WITH ITUNES OR CREATE AN ACCOUNT =)

Elliot · Answer

Go to apple's website. Click on the download tab. Choose to download just the Quicktime application. Follow that through to installation. Next go back to the apple site and click on download tab again, download itunes 8. ONce this is done make sure to run the download so it installs. After all is said and done itunes should open up for you. I think that apple mistakingly forgot to couple the quicktime application with the new version of apple's itunes when they put the new service update out. I hope that it works for you.

I recently restored my computer (with windows xp) back to it's factory settings.  I have been trying to download itunes to my computer again, and everytime it cant even get past the file download.  It gets to 77% and then nothing happens!  The little sheet of paper moves from the globe to the folder still, but it just stays at 77%.  What do I do?

Hey guys it's me miley cyrus and I just wanted to say that you need to go to www.iTunes.com and hook up your USB cord/charger to iTunes and click download now. It should start automatically. Make sure that your iPod in on the cord (hooked up) turn it on and on and press the arrow/button to "slide to unlock" and you should end up at the home page.(I'm using my iPod right now)

My case is different.  I got Itunes and Quicktime to Install with no problem on my laptop but it will not install on my desktop.  Bothe are running Vista Home Premium and have mostly the same programs.  The only real difference is Laptop has Intel processor and Desktop has AMD processor.  I had the same thing with Apple support.  They could not help because my Ipod was out of warranty.  There is nothing wrong with my Ipod.  They were no help at all.  Any Ideas?  Thanks  Note:  This is an update to 8 inbothcases.  Updates in the past have worked ok.

Sometimes it matter what type of computer you have like mine is a vpr Matrix. The type of service that you get from the internet counts too. I hope that helps you.

Bembly · Answer

Itunes just will not work. It uploaded 7 fine. But that wont run my ipod. Any other more recent ones will NOT work. The green downloading bar always gets to a certain percentage per edition of itunes then wont budge anymore. Its really annoying and apple and microsoft are well out of order for this. People spend so much money on ipods and everything else just to end up not being able to use them. I'd rather get a refund and buy a standard Mp3 player seeing as everything about Apple is a let down. Everyone whos ipod doesnt work should be entitled to a refund or they should at least fix the error. So unfair. How do you complain to Apple, not via phone call??

Brian · Answer

I have dowloaded skype onto my mac. I have the latest program, however it sees to have missed a vital step where I give it my email address, password etc. It just ask me for my login name and password as though I already have a name registered and of course it doesn't recognise either and won't let me get any further.
