Q: itunes starts download, goes thru most of the way then stops with error message the Itunes could not be configured and won't finish downloading and installing

a pop up error message says itunes couldnt be configured

I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.

Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.

Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

Many thanks.

Although you're getting a different error message, try the procedure from the following user tip:
