Thanks for the help, it's getting a bit late here but I will be sure to complete all of these steps tomorrow and see what happens. Thank you all for your time, help, and patience :)
Okay, so I went ahead and downloaded AGAIN & think I solved the problem on my own. After downloading .exe file, running the software, and then beginning the software installation process...I got to the point where it asks: "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?". Because I was being prompted to click "No", I had been selecting "No" during the previous attempts. This time, I selected "Yes" (despite being prompted to click "No" and after the program gave me a run-around I was finally able to complete the installation successfully.
And by "run-around" I mean it took between 4 and 5 minutes to "install", then said "iTunes Installer Interrupted" and included a message stating that "The installer was interrupted before the requested operations for iTunes could be completed. Your system has not been modified. To complete these operations at a later time, please run the installer again".
After all of this, I looked in my "Start" menu and saw something that said "Apple Software Update". I clicked on it and it opened a box that generated a list of software updates for Apple. It listed Safari 5 and "iTune + Quicktime" so I selected it and clicked "Install". Then, it FINALLY worked! What a tedious, annoying, and time-consuming process to simply install ONE program! I am not happy with the trouble the installation has caused but I am just thankful that I finally have it successfully installed on my new computer.
Does anyone know whether this is an issue with iTunes or an issue with Windows 7? I was just curious...
Neither.... what was causing your issue was you saying No to the UAC prompts. it was a USER error not a Windows error
who/what was causing you to click No?"Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?". Because I was being prompted to click "No", I had been selecting "No" during the previous attempts. This time, I selected "Yes" (despite being prompted to click "No" and after the program gave me a run-around I was finally able to complete the installation successfully.
Excuse ME, but after having my computer crash the other month I have been especially leary of all the bullsh*t that is out there. Going through that was a MAJOR headache, and one I'd like to avoid encountering again if I can help it! I have a busy life...I am a full-time college student, a mother, and a wife so if I can avoid potentially screwing up a brand new computer I'm going to be cautious! My classes are online, so I NEED to have a working computer.
So, when a message pops up and PROMTS me to press "No", I am going to press NO! I tried finding more information before selecting "Yes" or "No" but there was nothing available, so instead of taking a chance I selected the choice I was being prompted to click. So, you idiots don't need to try and make me look like just another *idiot*...who were the two telling me to remove any Apple software completely before trying to install again, even after I made it clear the 1st and 2nd times that no iTune software had EVER been installed on this computer.
And, yes, there are issues with iTunes...even after I got everything installed and plugged in my Touch, I wanted to sync my purchased music onto my computer and it only tranferred 4 of the 29 songs I have purchased THROUGH iTunes on my device. I fixed the problem and it wasn't a USER error either. And please don't try to tell me there have never been any compatability issues with iTunes & Windows 7 because I have read through the forums, too!
