They say you have to update windows, use windows update but I'm having an error when I try to use Windows Update, (8000ffff) I did the Fix It stuff that is posted at the windows webpage support to that error and didn't work, then I downloaded the updates and tried to run them and I don't get the Updates... I'm running Windows Vista 32 bits, I can't have Itunes even an older version is impossible to get I always get an error...

For the itunes 10.5 version I get please reinstall Itunes windows error 5, for older versions itunes helper is required...

Please help :(

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!!
