  • HT1926 my itunes will not update due to an error message saying cannot find itunes.msi

    I need help to resolve the fact that my computer will not update. It gives me a message about 95% way through the update that it cannot find itunes.msi and I also went to just uninstall the program completely off my computer and it gives me the same message. Help please!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • Ipod Mini will not update and sync without mac freezing up

    My ipod mini (4GB) cannot hold all my music so I have to single handedly sort out music i want and don't want. So, one day i decide to click 'restore' so i can just drag and drop playlists. Ever since then itunes freezes up when i plug it in and now it won't recognize it. The only way i can get itunes to respond is by unplugging my ipod mini. Then itunes is fine, like nothing happened. Also i have the most up to date itunes software. i don't know what to do.
    Please help!!

    I am absolutely frustrated with this new phone. My old phone, a 3G, took a total dump, so, I bought this new 4G with Siri and I cannot get it to update. I keep getting the same error message that I got with the 3G error "3014". I am ready to throw it against a brick wall!!

    The support document that you refrerred from explains it, however I have posted it here.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

  • My Ipod mini will not update, help?

    I just downloaded iTunes 7, and now when I plug in my ipod, iTunes doesn't come up. Even if I open iTunes, I doesn't "sense" my iPod. I doesn't show up on the list and the "Sync iPod" option under the "File" drop down menu is all greyed out. I also tried using the iPod updater program and it said "Invalid iPod service version". I'd really appreciate some help.

  • My ipod mini will not update from itunes.

    I recieve a message saying the ipod is linked to another library and do i want to replace all the songs on my ipod with the current library. How do i transfer the songs in my ipod to my computer?

    This is the message you see when you connect the iPod to a computer that it's not normally associated with. Clicking 'yes' will do exactly what it says and the songs on your iPod will be replaced with the songs in the iTunes library you are now connected to.
    This is how the iPod works. Makes it that much harder to share copyrighted material.
    Do you intend to use the iPod with more than one computer?

  • My Ipod mini will not sync...A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean?

    My Ipod mini will not sync.  I get the message that A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean and how do I correct it so I can download my new purchases?
    Thank you

    Refer to my earlier reply, but here is a quick fix to the corrupted filesystem, which might work
    Open My Computer
    Right-click your iPod  -> click Properties.
    Click the Tools Tab -> Error Checking ->
    Check "Automatically fix file system error"
    k Start.
    Let the scan complete, eject your iPod and reconnect.
    Good Luck!

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

    My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

    2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
    Is yours the original ipod touch?

  • Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache. [was: Lightroom 5 question]

    @Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache.

    This is the Photoshop forum however.
    Close Lightroom and go to your Lightroom catalog folder.
    The default location is usually in Pictures.
    Delete the file in the catalog folder which ends Previews.lrdata
    Do not touch the catalog itself which ends.lrcat
    Then try re-launching Lightroom.

    i have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing   wht to do???

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!
