I am trying to upgrade Windows service pack 2 to itunes 11.1.3, so I can access outlook and backup my outlook calendar to recently purchased 5S. Unfortunately at the end I get message " could not access network lo

The WindowsXP service pack2 is my operating system on the destop.

Many thanks.
The exact message was " could not access network location itunes\".
Although you're getting a different error message, try the following user tip with that one:
"not a valid short file name" and "invalid character" install errors

    "could not access network location iTunes\."
    (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?

  • 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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    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.

  • When i try to install i tunes it goes so far down the installation process then i get a message ' could not access network location %APPDATA%\.  Can any one help.

    When i try to install i tunes, it goes so far down the installation process and then comes up with a message ' could not access network location %APPDATA%\.  I then retry and it comes up with the same message.
    It also tells me i tunes needs 'Quick Time' to support the software.  I have downloaded Quicktime from i tunes seperately and gone through the whole process again, only to get the same message.
    Can anyone please help?

    These kind of messages can often be cleared by using the Microsoft Installer cleanup Utility.
    Here is a method for cleanup of your old iTunes installation and reinstall.
    == uninstall with cleanup ==
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save the files on your PC.
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    (To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista or Win 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

    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:

  • Tried to install ios5. Would not install. Also lost earlier version of itunes. Keep getting message Could not open key

    Tried to install the newest version and lost all itunes on this computer. Followed instructions about removing and reinstalling iTunes, Quicktime, etc. Now I get message "Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components|" and several letters/numbers afterward.

    The first thing would be to get the proper version of Safari for your version of OS X (Tiger).
    Go here to get Safari: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    Be sure to choose the bottom choice:
    You will also need the latest security update for Tiger.

    If prefs are the same as Settings on a MAC, OK, it would have been more 
    clear to me if you had said Settings since I didn't see anything related to 
    prefs. On a PC, I know what you mean, On a MAC, wasn't sure.

  • HT1349 What to when trying to download an app and get message "could not sign in, An unknown error has occurred"

    What do you do when trying to download an app from App Store and get message: "could not sign in, an unknown error has occurred."

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
