ITune 9.2 not installing

I upgraded my iphone 3gs to OS4 and had to upgrade my itunes to 9.2 - it wont do it as it says it cant create a temporary file. I have tried to delete the existing itunes and reinstall - but cant delete the old one - same reasons. Any help?

Hi
On a similar note, I had to do the same but now I can't even access iTunes. It won;t open and keeps telling me it needs Quicktime - which I've installed again and now it's telling me the library is from an old version of iTunes and still won't open. I dread iTunes updates - they always mean trouble for me...

A few weeks ago I had to reinstall itunes on my PC because the latest itunes update did not install properly. Ever since doing that something called Mobile Me keeps popping up whenever I open email (outlook) and slowing it down. How do I remove MobileMe

A few weeks ago an itunes upgrade did not install properly on my PC so I had to uninstall itunes and everything associated with it. I was able to reinstall itunes and it works fine including syncing with my ipod. However, now whenever I open my email (outlook) a box pops up stating MobileMe Services has stooped working. This happens a couple of times after I click to close the program. This a nusance and really slows down getting to my email. From what I've found MobileMe was something that used to be used by itunes to sync mobile devices but is no longer used by itunes. I can't find a way to remove this MobileMe from my PC. I've tried going into Contol Panel then Programs and Features to uninstall it but there is no button there to uninstall it. Any suggestions on how this can be removed?

Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

I have been using itunes on my windows based pc for years but since installing the latest itunes update I have been getting the error message A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes. (-42404)

I have been using itunes on my windows 64 bit laptop for years but since downloading the latest itunes 10.7 update whenever I opened itunes the error message 'A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes (-42404)'
Itunes would still load and play music in my library and I could still sync my ipod but when loading a CD itunes would not recognise the album/tracks and I would need to type them manualing after uploading.
I have just bought the new iphone5 and went to sync the phone with itunes. itunes recognises the iphone when plugged in via the usb port or when wi fi is turned on but itunes will not allow the phone to sync.
I spent over an hour the other morning speaking to apple customer support and have ensured I have administer right and that UAC is turned off.
I was taken through msconfigure and adjusted the startup tab but still no joy.
In the end I was e-mailed instructions on how to uninstall and then reinstall itunes and component parts.
Now that I've uninstalled itunes when I try reinstalling I get the following messages during the download.
The 1st message is;
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
When I click ok the next message that appears sometime later during the install is;
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
The options I have are to abort, retry or ignore. If I retry the same message comes back and if I abort or ignore the download continues and I then get the following message:
'Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes, then reinstall itunes again. Error 2'
After attempting to reinstall itunes only some components were installed however itunes would not open.
It would appear many people have experienced problems with this latest download!

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Hello mustangcim243,
iTunes has various components bundled with it that it requires for general usage. I advise that we completely remove iTunes and all of these related components, verify that they have been removed, then reinstall. To do so, please follow the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Note: it is important to remove the 7 components in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
If the above does not resolve your issue, I recommend we reset the SC Info folder:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
(See Step 4: Remove the SC Info folder)
Thanks,
Matt M.

Itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

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
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.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Someone can help me ???

Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Itunes helper was not installed correctly. Error 7 (windows error 14001) ?

Upgraded to ITUNES 10 and received following error - Itunes helper was not installed correctly. Error 7 (windows error 14001) - have tried uninstalling all APPLE products, restarting etc and installing ITUNES and QUICKTIME separately yaddah yaddah - NO SUCCESS. Losing patience ?

Doublechecking. Were you using the instructions from the following documents?
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
(Doublechecking, because an error 7 off ituneshelper normally indicates trouble with Apple Application Support. If something else is going on, it's pretty exotic.)

Also can't sync my iphone anymore. I've tryed repairing but still the same problem exists..HELP PLEASE

Sometimes this one indicates that your FairPlay is broken, but other components might be dodgy.
Let's try a complete uninstall/reinstall as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Does that help with your 42404?

I got a message that my IPhone was not reconnized also and that I needed to re-set to factory default which I did, but now I lost all the apps on the iphone and I can not reinstall iTunes without receiving these error messages. No problems with Itunes until this new update.
I have followed the suggestions to completeley uninstall iTunes and all the components including QuickTIme and MobileME.   I have done this 3 times now. The last error message was regarding iTunes Helper.
Really frustrating as I can not install Itunes so that I can reinstall my apps and music on my iPhone. Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

A required iTunes component is not installed 42404 with iTunes 10 after update

Hi,
So I updated last night to the latest iTunes and now whenever I start the program I get this error:
A required iTunes component is not installed... - 42404...
I've tried uninstalling and deleting the iTunes preferences but it keeps on popping up. I can't sync my iPhone with it like this. Should I reinstall the Mobile Device stuff?
Thanks

I recently downloaded and installed the latest version of iTunes and now keep getting the error message "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please re-install iTunes (-42404)".
Since this, my iPad will not sync, despite resetting it many times.
I have downloaded and installed the new iTunes more than ten times with no luck.
Please can anyone help!!!!!!!

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?
