Itunes wont download

Hi Mister-DJ,

Downloading an incorrect version of iTunes on your computer is one of the possible reasons why you're unable to download it. To ensure that an appropriate version is selected, we suggest that you check the system type on your computer, whether it's 32-bit
or 64-bit. Once verified, then download the appropriate iTunes version.

To verify the system type, follow the steps below:

• Right-click the Windows key, then select Control Panel.
• Click System and Security.
• Under System, look for System type.

Feel free to update us should you need further help.

Regards.

 

Start Menu Corrupted - ms-resource:appDisplayName


So lately I was faced by the following symptoms :
1 - Alot of apps not appearing on start menu where I can only run them through store
2 - Mysterious app called : ms-resource:appDisplayName appearing on start menu that can't be deleted / uninstalled
3 - All my previous sorted tiles were reseted

I managed to research and here is what I attempted along the way :
1 - I found number of pages that claimed start menu now is no longer a matter of links to sort , but more like yet another database managed by indexing service (which I doubt because it doesn't really show everything installed) and it suggested running re-indexing to sort start menu shortcut issues where I did that but status remained the same
2 - Suggestions of re-installing apps where the hidden apps still did not show after re-installation
3 - Suggestion to reset store using WSReset.exe (nothing)
4 - Suggestion to run Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”} to totally reset the store (nothing)
5 - Suggestion to Run > shell:AppsFolder and then right click apps to find their locations and sort them where the apps showing are found their , their location lead to older windows folder structure of start menu where the rest of the missing software shows but they still wont show on start menu

So any hints on how to edit the bloody menu to reflect store apps installed and adding other missing installed software shortcuts ?

 

Unable to install iTunes from MS Store or from Apple

I wanted to uninstall iTunes from Apple, and the install iTunes from MS Store.

Reason: rumours that the Apple IT is full of bloatware.

After installing IT from MS Store, I now cannot run any version of iTunes.

Here's the history:

- Uninstall IT using Control Panel.
- Download and install IT from MS Store.
- Click Launch.
- Get message "iPhone driver not installed". Progress bar completes.
- Get message "Driver required for iPhone not installed. Pls check Win Update settings"
- Click Settings > Update & Security > Win Updates
- Get message "Install error 0x8007ffff"
- Go to Device Manager > Portable Devices > Apple iPhone > Update driver
- Get hex error message as above.

Decide to abandon IT from MS Store and reinstall IT from Apple

Get message "One or more computers have installed IT from MS Store. Must uninstall these"

But IT is no longer in Control Panel (see first step above), therefore can't uninstall *Smile

I would be grateful for any advice. I'm no techie, but I'm comfortable in the registry, if necessary.

Thanks.
