Has anyone found a quick, permanent solution to the missing iTunes.msi file. It's very frustrating that I can't uninstall or reinstall. I have a new iphone and I'm dead in the water:)

Has anyone found a quick, permanent solution to the missing iTunes.msi File? I have tried many times to upgrade both itune and quicktime and get the same old error notice. Surely, by now, someone has found out how to get around this mess. Please....

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Book your Apple appointment now, in the mean time you can try a SMC reset.

  • I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room, when i recently updated my new iPhone it has backed up to my old iPhone and I have therefore lost pictures, messages etc from my new phone how can I get it all back?

    I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room.  I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone, I have therefore lost pictures, messages and apps from my new iPhone as it has backed up to the last session of the old phone, how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?

    No such thing has occurred.  iPhones do not backup to one another.
    It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
    If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

    Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

  • HT1386 I have a new iPhone and want to purchase a ringtone on iTunes.  It keeps asking for answers to a question that I did not set up and don't have the answer for.  How do I get pass this dilemma?

    I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes.  Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them.  How do I get past this to be able to purchase.  I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    If you live in the US launch the iTunes store, then tap Purchases, then the "not on this phone" tab. If you don't live in the US you will have to buy them again, unless the iTunes Store support staff takes pity on you when you email them with a request for help.
    BTW, how many songs can you download between daily syncs?

  • A friend of my daughter's used my mac when she got her new iphone.  Now I have a new iphone and my phone has her app store information on it and I don't know how to get it off and put mine in there!

    A friend of my daughter's used my mac computer when she got her new iphone to help set it up.  Now that I have a new iphone, her apps and all the app store information is stuck on my phone.  Her app account keeps showing up when I try to install something new, and I obviously do not have her password.  How do I get this off my phone??

    Open iTunes on the computer.  Without any iPhone plugged in, go to iTunes' menu and do Store > Sign Out.
    The click the iTunes Store row on the left of the iTunes display.  You can then sign on from the signon row on the right side of the display using the correct Apple ID and password.  Then you'll be all set!

  • Has anyone come up with a solution for the WD Passport and Mavericks OSX issues yet?

    I was wondering if anyone has come up with a solution for the newer Macbook Pro/Mavericks and external WD Passport not mounting problems?
    I have a couple of year old WD Passport that worked fine in my old 2009 Macbook Pro, the problem is the old computer crashed.
    My dilemna; My new 2014 Mackbook Pro will not open my WD Passport, called WD Support, their answer, sorry, nothing has been solved.
    Is there anyway I can get access to my files on the Passport with any other software, or by using a PC.
    I am aware of reformatting the HD, and have read all the forums I could find and have tried installing the WD Update as well, (with the support tech from WD) and nothing works.
    I know that my WD Passport works, so please don't suggest checking it, or the cord.
    I appreciate all the help anyone can offer, and I am with all the rest of you struggling for solutions.
    Thanks so much

    Hi everyone, this is what I did
    1. upgrade disks to the latest firmware
    2. de-install ntfs-3g and MacFuse.
    3. Re-install NTFS 3G  without Macfuse.
    4. Next step: Install OSXFUSE latest version with selection MacFUSE compatibility layer.
    5. Last step: Install Fuse Wait
    Note: between steps 2 and 5, I restarted my machine.
    It worked for me, after about 4 hours.

  • Has anyone found a solution to the issue of default email account on iPhone continually changing?

    I am seeing an irritating problem with the default mail account, calendar and contacts list on my iPhone 4.
    Every so often (I think it happens randomly after syncing or even just connecting the iPhone to my iMac without syncing) I notice that some or all of my default email account, calendar and contacts list have changed away from my desired default (which is my Exchange account).
    The iPhone is running iOS 4.3.5 (8L1) and I'm using iTunes 10.4.1 on my iMac.
    I found this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1639451 dating back 2 years to the days of iOS 2.1 without any solution. Googling hasn't helped me find any answers yet.
    I have 5 accounts set up on the iPhone - a MobileMe "Find my phone" account that's only used for that purpose, not email, a GMail account, a couple of vanilla IMAP accounts and my main, Exchange 2010-based account that I use for mail, contacts and calendar.
    Most frequently after a change I find that the default email has switched to the GMail account, the calendar and contacts lists have switched to my iPhone and most of my Exchange account mail folders are empty and have to re-sync when I tap on them.
    I know from Googling that other people have been seeing similar issues.
    Has anyone found a workaround or solution?

    Has no one found any solutions to this?
    Or at least what causes it (so that it might be avoided)?
    I find it difficult to believe this issue has existed so long in iOS without being addressed!

  • Has anyone found the solution to email disappearing with Apple Mail?

    Hello,
    I have seen quite a number of postings about email disappearing with Apple's Mail client, regardless of what account they are using (yahoo, gmail, aol, etc.). What I have noticed is that email vanishes right in front of my eyes from the folders I have created to keep my email in order. Sometimes I move a message or several and I see them in the folder for a day or two, and then a few days later they are simply gone. This happens from the sent folder too. It is random. No, they are not in the trash, or junk, or anywhere else. Doing a full search turns nothing. They are really, really gone.
    Sometimes, I go to a folder and I see how in a second one or several messages disappear from the list and that is it. Never to be found again. Not even if I visit the web-based account I can retrieve them. They are gone.
    The worst part is when they disappear from my sent folder immediately after they leave the outbox, so I am not sure if it sent or not, and I have to retype the whole thing again just to make sure.
    This is extremely annoying, and I have seen I am not the only one to which this happens. Has anyone found a fix for this bug? Should I simply keep all my email in my inbox? Or should I just give up on Apple Mail and use Thunderbird?
    I have an old powerbook G4 with 10.4 and Mail 2. Not like it makes much difference, I've seen people complaining about the same issue in later versions of OS and Mail.
    Thanks for any help

  • My laptop with my iTunes on it has died. I have iCloud and an iPad so can I use that instead? Do I simply log in with my apple id? Also I have a new iPhone how do I sync that up? Will my old iPhone be saved on iCloud? Thanks

    My laptop is broken, hard disk failure. It's gone to the hospital but it will require a new hard disk.  I have an iPod. I also have iCloud which everything ( I think) has been backed up to.  I have an new iPhone and need to sync it up. Can I sync it to my iPad? So I can retrieve the back up?  Scratching my head a bit!

    iPad not iPod!
