win7 x64 can't install iTunes 10.5

OK I got it and well it wasn't as bad as I thought.

I did what many people were saying here. Uninstalled all programs in my Control Panel that were published by Apple with the exception of Apple Updater.

I restarted.

Then I went to program files and deleted everything that may have been installed by Apple except the Apple Updater folder.

I went back to Control Panel and ran a repair on Apple Updater.

Then I went to Programs and ran Apple Updater. This application actually needed an update so I did so.

Once it ran again after updating it had new Quicktime, iTunes and Safari.

So I updated Quicktime and iTunes.

They all installed flawlessly and I'm now updating my iPad to iOS 5!

Same error I am getting after trying all of the mentioned methods in various thread no use?

I dont believe it. You sir win all my respect and internets. I would pay you a trip to go to mars and back. <3🙂

when i do this, the only update that shows up is for quicktime 7.7

ah haa.. i installed it finally.. its quite simple though.. uninstall the 10.4 itunes using control panel. then repair all the other apple softwares in the system.. DO NOT UNINSTALL THEM.

Then use you itunes installer to install itunes.. it just works like magic..

Finally i can update ma iphone 4S with my old apps

Good luck ppl..

It worked for me too!

I FOUND A FIX!!!

Open Apple Software Update. When it starts to do its automated check for new software, click CANCEL. Go to the Tools in the menu bar and select Open Downloaded Updates Folder, if you were like me you will see one file listed "AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi" (or something closely worded to this effect) - Double click on this and let it run. When it finishes, download a fresh iTunes64Setup.exe from Apple.com. Launch the setup and select Repair - (I had just previously did this about 6 times with NO JOY). Once the repair finishes iTunes lauched to the EULA - click Agree and viola!! iTunes opened fine.

I HOPE THIS HELPS SOME OF YOU!

this is so messed up, i keep getting errors during all the steps you guys have suggested. and then it tells me i dont have access to some of the keys........im so lost and confused i dont get this

where do i do this... then repair all the other apple softwares in the system.. DO NOT UNINSTALL THEM. on my pc?

A) did you uninstall the old itunes?

B) reboot

c) run as administrator?

I have to do that on every single itunes upgrade.. they create some folders with bad permissions and this is the only way to fix it.

I have tried everything suggested, and they have been suggestions that appeared to be good, however, nothing works. If this isn't figured out by the time my new iphones arrive and I cannot activate them and use them because of this issue they may just be returned. I have been a fan of the iphone for years and I love my ipad 2, but this is unexcusable to release a software with such an issue and I have to have the new iphone up and running for my work. Apple where are you at in helping those of us who have been customers for so long. Clark Howard has the term right with Apple when he calls it "Customer No Service" at least with this issue.

I have tried a lot of the methods in this post with zero success. Everytime I try to uninstall iTunes from the control panel I receive the following message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavalable. I am using Windows 7 64 bit..

Do we have to install iTunes directly from .exe file or through apple software update program?

thanks for the post , after i did everything as u said n itunes wen opened it showing error message error 2 try to reinstall again!!!!what to do ?

As Apple come up with a fix for this yet ?
