Q: Fix for iTunes update 11.1.4 issues

Yipee. I also followed the uninstall instructions and everything is A.O.K.  All music files fine and ITUNES is up and running. Thanks so much everyone!!

Yes, did it all again, twice, still no good. Error msg iI get is

iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 ( Windows error 126)

I have spent a lot of money on iTunes. This should not happen!

You may have to follow the slightly more detailed steps in whichever of these two applies to you.

Rebooting into safe mode may be needed to delete any folder the instructions say you should remove.

I upgraded it. Didn't work. My Itunes doesn't work anymore. I deleted the files.

I tried to download it. The download does NOT start at all.

I've checked and the "apple" in common Files is still there. It didn't allow me to erase it. So I followed your instructions ALT.CTRL.DEL for the Task Manager but the Ipod service isn't in it.

I also see that C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ is still there and it does not let me erase because it is in use...somehow.

Why is it so hard? And who came up with this upgrade that is ruining the experience for everyone???!!

I appreciate how frustrating it is. I'm working up some additional advice in the user tip Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for WIndows updates which I will update as more information comes in. As for files that won't delete I'm hoping that using clues from this list will help establish what processes should be halted.

Thanks. I'll give this a try.

Follow thwe insructions closely and it will work. It worked for me everything returned and i dont even backup my itunes files. When reinstalling itunes make sure you go to the itunes setup file in your computer and right click it to make sure you are working as the administrator. I was skeptical but it worked great for me.

This bug wreaked havoc on my system before I did the reinstall. I couldn't even restore to an earlier time as it was blocking it. Good luck and take your time with it.

I managed to delete all Itunes folders. Now my main issue is that the download does not start at all. I've tried it logged in and logged out and it's the same.

Is it because I'm in Central America?

Have you tried Downloading iTunes with a different Browser like Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome other then the browser from which you are unable to Download iTunes ?

It's hard to open musics one by one in iTunes. I don't like to uninstall it, apple must release a new update or else I might buy a Galaxy Note 3 tomorrow. I need to sync movies and other files, so please fix this problem. My iPhone 5 keep on asking me if I should trust my cmputer. Then I always press TRUST. But nothing happens, it won't sync.

Those still having trouble should now refer to:

Downloading it using chrome instead of Mozilla. We'll see what happens. Thanks for your help.
