Follow up to earlier question about having trouble down loading iTunes. Error reads as.   Could not access network  location %APPDATA%\

Error reads. Could not access network location %APPDATA%\\

Could not access network location %APPDATA%/
With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:
[You receive an "Error 1606" error message when you try to install or remove a Microsoft program|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549]

  • I am having trouble re insalling itunes i get the message "Could not access network location %APPDATA%|.

    Help  can't install or uninstall itunes keep getting the message " could not access network location %APPDATA%\, "

    And follow this:

    Apple moved some drivers for 64-bit now to where they should have been.
    Quicktime also use to place files outside the norm.
    One of the reasons I recommend when it comes to Apple:
    Wait for the ".1" and always use the uninstaller first and then install.
    That means you may want manual standalone installer instead - and that way you have 10.4.1 in case you need to later downgrade.

    Hello again:
    I don't mean to step on any toes here but it seems that the root of the problem is being ignored. I offered before that the problems you are experiencing are due to inconsistencies in the Windows registry. While I could speculate on the various methods of how this came to be, I don't have that kind of time nor is there a need. More than likely it is some type of malware that has infected the system but that should be explored on more suited forums such as MajorGeeks.com or BleepingComputer.com. The way I see it, you have a few paths you can take, all of which will lead you to the same place: no more error 1606 and a functional Reader:
    Option 1: Run the Windows Live OneCare free safety scanner to resolve any broken registry links it can find.
    Option 2: Manually fix the "broken" registry entries in the Windows registry. While I understand Pat's hesitation to do so, the truth of the matter is it will resolve the immediate issue. Once the APPDATA path is corrected, you should then be able to install Reader.
    Option 3: Restore Windows to a previous date using System Restore located in Help & Support of the Start menu.
    Option 4: [SLEDGE HAMMER] Reinstall Windows over the top of the current installation (NO FORMAT). Use this option only if you have no other recourse. The potential to lose all personal data and settings is high if this option is not performed correctly. If this option is chosen, be certain to use a "setup" profile (username) different than your current username. If you only have a manufacturer's system restore disk rather than a Windows CD/DVD, you may not have the option NOT to format which WILL result in the loss of personal data. This option should only be performed by someone who has previous knowledge of such or is willing to learn even at the expense of data loss/time/effort.
    I HIGHLY recommend that any and all personal data is backed up to an external location such as a USB key, CD/DVD, or external hard drive prior to performing option 2 or 4 above. If you would like any of the options explained in greater detail, feel free to ask and I will oblige.
    Best of success!

  • Is anyone having trouble down loading TV shows?

    Since I have updated my 30 gig TV Shows are taking hours to download.

    Part of the problem is that all videos on the iTunes Music Store are now in 640x480 format rather than the previous 320x240, so the videos are much larger now. That I'm sure accounts for at least some of the problem with downloads taking longer.
    There are also reports of scattered slowdowns with the servers used by the iTunes Music Store (run by Akamai). I'm sure Apple is working with Akamai to correct these problems.
    But downloads will always take longer than before, now, due to the larger file sizes.
