I got a friend who just downloaded the iTunes+Quicktime's new version direct from Apple's Official Site.

After he installed the software, this is what he found:





No icons for the files. How come? The apps won't start like iTunes or Quicktime if click.

Is there any solution to make the icons be there and make the software runs smoothly?

Thanks!

Note: He's running on Windows XP SP2, not on a MAC.

use that damn spotlight-copycat search function and locate the program execution file, then reassign to its shortcut.... I'm sure you know where the folders are.... C:\Program Files\.... if not...,

uninstall and reinstall..., if failed...

switch to Mac..., if still failed...

don't ever use a computer again.... your friend phailed everything....

Copy paste the location file but still failed... I think his pc's got some error to remove the past Quicktime or iTunes files...

He's sad because:

1- He need iTunes to transfer songs to his iPod.
2- He needs Quicktime for some internet video streaming files like the Webcast of the Apple Event.

He can't afford a Mac, so stick with his old pc... pity him also...

spotlight copycat? spotlight only came out like last year? and actually they copied some of win's search functions thts been on xp for sometime now like searching for a phrase in a document...



ok then it is a registry error i guess. maybe try a registry fixer...but i doubt how successful it actually will be. had few of this nonsence probs in my win pc...real headache...other apps also get affected at times...life's so much better with a mac, eh..

maybe he can get a mac mini basic model and use his win screen and keyboard...nowadays there's also monthly repayment...but it depends on him le..

hmm...this is possible too. ask ur friend to dl the latest itunes 7, might as well get it since he is gonna install itunes...

remove the old itunes properly using add/remove programs in control panel and ask him to reinstall properly. should be fine i hope.

n20nine, I did exactly wht you did, my thread title is New .... Installer ma..means version 7 lor...

Downloaded the new one and install it, before that remove properly already..

I think the registry key had to do with this..

I tell him, to install old version 1st..and he did it..it's fine now, but in old version!

then i guess i can't help ler...but if he can install old version...i had those probs before during the times of itunes 6 before i got my pb...i downloaded the file again at a diff date and reinstalled it..it worked...guess my luck maybe...hope ur friend get's his probs solved.

err... actually, that was pun intended... and.... you treated it seriously....

oooooohhhhh ic....anyways the next leopard will feature even a better search engine...looking forward to it.

cheers.
