Itune\quicktime installation error invalid G drive on Windows

Hi,
I am trying to install Itunes 9 on a Thinkpad T61. When it gets to the quicktime phase, it says invalid G drive. I have tried going to the cmd prompt and performing Subst G: C:\, but after doing so it goes a little further, then says "the specified path is too long G:\lib". My only option is to cancel out. I have tried starting in my dock with external drive plugged in and thumb drive too to avoid having to use the SUBST command. When I do it this way, I get a different error, 2869.
I have tried just installing quicktime separately, but does not work either. I etiher get Error 2869 or that the G drive does not have enough space? I have a different laptop (older T41) that it worked just fine. Why not just use that one? The USB ports will not operate at 2.0! (known but separate problem). Sorry for the long question, but could not find anyother similar post!

Doublechecking Jim. Have you tried the procedure I describe in the following post? (In your case you'd be looking to change the drive letter to G rather than F.)

  • ITunes + Quicktime installation error

    Originally, I attempted to upgrade my old version of iTunes to version 7.2.3, and at the end of the installation I receive an error saying:
    +An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files+
    I then uninstalled iTunes, and tried to reinstall it to see if it'd fix the problem. But I keep getting the same error message, and the installation will not continue.
    Does anyone know what's wrong with it? And what can I do to fix this? Please help, I'd really appreciate it.

    Given that it's idiosyncratic, let's try seeing if the *General Instalation Troubleshooting* section from the following document is of any help:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
    ... but if no joy there, let's try getting an installer log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address: [email protected]
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • 8.2.1 error message "iTunes + Quicktime" has an invalid signature.

    I am getting this error message when I am trying to download & install the 8.2.1 update. The entire message states "iTunes + Quicktime" has an invalid signature, it will not be installed. I saw another post started by Cfrolich, but it doesn't look like they got the problem fixed. Has anyone had this same error message? Can anyone help??

    I have not had this problem before but the latest update to iTunes + Quicktime, offered today, puts me in the same situation.
    The web is covered with reports of this issue over the years, always "iTunes + Quicktime has an invalid signature", but nothing I can see which is a good fix for the problem.
    Tried chkdisk, install manually doesn't work, the installer just keeps trying.
    Tried installing QT 7.6.4 independently from the Apple download page, that didn't help either.
    If this is so prevalent, why isn't there more on the main Apple site about it?

  • I get an error "iTunes + QuickTime" has an invalid signature while updating from 10.1 to 10.2.2

    I get an error "iTunes   QuickTime" has an invalid signature. The download has been removed.  When trying to update from version 10.1 to 10.2.2.  I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 OS.  I have tried repairing all the Apple software on the laptop.  What do I need to do to get this updated?

  • Quicktime Installation error message

    I have been trying to install iTunes and keep getting the error message "The older version of Quicktime cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group".
    I followed some of the instruction from previous posts. I've deleted any file with "quicktime" or "qt" in the name, restarted and tried installing just QT w/o iTunes. Still keep getting this error message. When I tried just installing QT, during the installation I got an error message saying it could not locate the ".msi" file, so I cancelled then got the "older version" message. Any ideas?

    download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility, then use it to remove any existing QuickTime installation configuration information:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll make sure we've manually removed all leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

  • Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  Thanks.

    Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I tried uninstalling, but I am stuck now trying to reinstall.
    It says itcan't find the itunes64.msi destination folder.

    (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?

  • ITunes installation error - no C-drive, invalid C-drive, or specified path too long

    This is an answer rather than a question as answer to a previous question seemed unresolved and I had similar problem which I have resolved. I thought posting it might help others...
    My OS System disk wasn't set as the C-drive (how or why I'm not sure, but I have several OS installations and 2 hard-drives and must be a result of the way I installed these). And so I had no C-drive at all (except when I plugged in USB Pen's they would appear as C-drive).
    iTunes wouldn't let me install unless I had a C-drive - probably said I had an invalid C-drive or something. So I tried creating a virtual C-drive by mapping the C: drive letter to a new empty folder on my system disk (G-drive) to "C:". See - http://ask-leo.com/i_have_no_c_drive_but_some_programs_insist_on_it_what_can_i_d o.html
    This DIDN'T resolve the problem as it merely created a different error message - it said: "The specified path is too long C:\Program Files" NB This is despite me telling it to install iTunes to the G-drive.
    Solution: I removed the virtual C-drive (ie. mapping of "C:"  to the new folder) and instead in My Computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management, I assigned the C: drive letter to a drive partition I use for storing media (I plan to name it back else several programms will fail to store media correctly). I also moved the iTunes.exe installation file to that C: partition in case that helped. Installation (still told to be the G-drive) was now successful.
    What I noticed is iTunes created the following path - C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02\lib\ext - and dumped this file there: QTJava.zip Looks suspiciously like an install file for the bundled (and required) updated Quick Time, which it obviously requires to be dumped on a C-drive. Once installed I doubt that file will still be needed, so I'll delete it after I restart (it won't let me at the mo).
    If you don't have extra partitions that you can assign C-drive to, then you could either try Adding (rather than changing) the C: drive letter to your current System disk. IN FACT I'M THINKING THAT'D BE THE BEST THING TO DO ANYWAY as then all programmes will use the correct system disk regardless of whether they think they should be using G: or C: (though I've not tried it, so can't be sure this works). Alternatively I reckon you could connect a USB stick and assign C-drive to that (if it isn't in fact automatically assigned it). Allow it to dump the QTJava.zip file on to it and once installed, you can remove the USB Stick - NB I'd suggest using the Safe Removal. (Well, might be worth restarting first in case it is referencing anything on it that isn't finished until restart.)
    Hope this helps someone as was driving me potty coz I couldn't update my iTunes and thus couldn't sync my iPhone!

    Hi AltafB,
    For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

  • ITunes & Quicktime has an invalid signature. The program has been removed

    When I try to update itunes through the apple software update, i get error message 'itunes and quicktime has an invalid signature. the program has been removed.'
    When I go to download from the apple website.. it downloads 10% and then stops.
    I have tried downloading through google chrome, firefox and IE, I have tried to delete my temp file, And I have also gone into internet options and ticked 'allow software to run or install even if signature is invalid'.
    Nothing is working!!! Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Okay. Try downloading and saving the installer onto a different PC. Copy the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) onto a USB key or thumb drive or other external drive (or even burn it to a CD) and then carry it to your PC. Copy the installer onto your internal hard drive, and then start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe).
    (If we can get a working copy of the installer onto a PC, installs will usually go through without the invalid-signature/not-valid-win32/unknown-publisher/etc errors.)

  • ITunes&QuickTime installation failure due to QTTask.exe-Your help is req

    The last 2 weeks I am facing a problem with the installation of the iTunes r9.x
    During the installation process, and when iTunes tries actually to install QuickTime the following error appears blocking and stopping the whole process.
    “Error writing to file c:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTTask.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory”.
    Whatever I tried in order to solve the problem… was failed.
    I uninstalled all the Apple applications according to Apple’s support guidelines; I deleted any relevant application traces (e.g. files, directories, registry entries etc), I checked the disk for bad sectors but without success. No need to mention that I am the administrator of my laptop. Every time that I am trying to install the applications either QuickTime or iTunes (w/o QuickTime), the error message above appears again stopping any installation activity and rolling back the whole process. I am in a fully dead-end as I don’t have any idea how should I solve the mentioned problem. Any support from any of you guys, will be very much appreciated.
    Last but not least, I have Windows XP Home SP3.
    Thank you in advance. Markos

    (Apologies for barging in, Jacumba.)
    “Error writing to file c:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTTask.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory”.
    Those sorts of messages can also be associated with disk/file damage. So I'd be inclined to try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's instructions and a guided help in the following Microsoft document:
    [How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, try running an iTunes install again. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes+QuickTime installation from CD of iPod nano Issue

    During installing the s/w from CD. an error regarding QT was displyed (something to do with files) and later the installation was over. When iTunes is launched get an error "iTunes have encountered problem and needs to be closed". and it asks whether you need to send the report to Microsoft.
    Uninstalled iTunes+QT and tried again but no success. Also tried installing the s/w downloaded from apple website did not get QT installation error but still getting the same MS error. After clicking on the error report, the error signature part shows following information.
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 6.0.1.3 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040
    Also tired to find simlar issue on this forum but no luck and hence posting this message.
    Would appreciate help.
    Thanks in advance.

    After reading certain posts I was able to resolve this issue today morning. I have been working on this since yesterday since my new ipod nano was delivered, so about for 15+ hours on and off.
    The problem started when I tried to install s/w from CD. Hence thought of downloading the s/w from the website. That also did not solve the problem. Then started looking at discussions where lot of posts mentioend the similar issue during the same time frame. Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Also went back a week to have my desktops savepoint restored. But no luck.
    Hence when today I found a posting on this site about downloading standalone quicktime, followed that path and what you see, after installing standalone quicktime, iTunes got loaded, was able to see my new ipod nano in itunes and have already uploaded songs on it.
    So whats the lessons learned. Apple still needs to come over the hump of making USER FRIENDLY SOFTWARE ( its that what APPLE is known for?).
    Certainly I never thought that it will be such an exercise to have it installed.

  • ITunes Producer installation error

    iTunes Producer gives me this installation error:
    "The installation failed.
    An unknown installation error occurred.
    The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    I'm using a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8, 2.53 GHz Intel processor, 4 GB RAM, with 30 GB of space available on my hard drive. I've already contacted iBookstore Publisher Support. They sent me here. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help,
    Josh

    I just installed Snow Leopard from install DVD 10.6 and then used software update to insure I have the latest system everything on this MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo 2.4 GHz processor, 2GB ram, 133 GB available space on the hard drive.
    I get the same error as above.
    "The installation failed.
    An unknown installation error occurred.
    The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Not only that, I also tried the installation on a recently purchased Mac Mini. Same problem.
    Any hints, folks? It's annoying that the only install of iTunes Producer I can use is on my old, out of date Mac that I am now afraid to upgrade the system on because if this keps happening, I won't be able to upload to iBooks at all.
