Tried to install 10.4, got an error message, now nothing works!!
So I got an 800Mhz eMac for my mother. It came with 10.2.8, she needed 10.4 to be able to install Skype. I got 10.4 on 16 discs and started installing it, at disc 9, I got an error message. After that it told me to insert OSX INSTALL disc 2. Everytime I put it in, it spits it back out, I tried every other disc, doesn't change anything. Tried restarting by putting in Disc 1 and doing the C button start-up, doesn't change anything. I even tried other restore discs that I have and no result.
Please Help, thank you
You will probably have to erase and install the operating system using the good disk. You may be able to backup if you can use Target Disk Mode to retrieve your critical data of the machine to another Mac.

Furthermore you have broken your friend's license agreement by installing those disks on your computer. They are only licensed for use with your friend's computer.
In the future never try to circumvent the law like this, it can land you in deep trouble.
Once you are done backing up, use the startup manager to start the good disk, and go through the procedure to erase and install from the options of installation when you nothing but a keyboard and mouse connected:

When trying to open ITunes, I got an error message of msvcr80.dll can not be found.
Assuming that it was an iTunes file, I reinstalled iTunes.
Trying to open again, I got an error message of an appication is trying to open a library file incorrectly.
How do I resolve this problem.
Neither my PC with Vista nor my my laptop with windows 7 will work?
ThanksHello Msvcr80.dll,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Best of luck,

Itunes was working fine. Tried to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue. Program still works, simply cannor upgrade.
Thanks b noir,
I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated. -

When I tried to update Itunes I got an error message telling me to reinstall. When I try to reinstall I get a message "Apple Mobile Devide failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privliges to start syem services" I'm not sure what this means, can anyone help here? Thanks,
I tried the temp fix you mentioned, it didn't work. I could not delete all of the old itunes files, the uninstallers would crash half way through and if I tried to manually delete anything it also gave me an error, so reinstalling the older version would not work.
Frankly, this whole thing has got me ****** off. judging by the amount of complaints here, there must be a lot of people having this problem, yet Apple has let it go on for almost 2 weeks. What kind of inept coders are they employing if they can let an update that completely frags their software get through QA.
Does anyone know of any programs that will play itunes music files? I am just about done dealing with iTunes, but I've got a ton of music that I don't want to have to purchase all over again. -
Trying to install windows 7 and getting error message Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Boot Camp Assistant creates a Windows partition in FAT32 to make the Windows XP installation easier.
The problem is that Windows Vista, 7 and 8 require a NTFS partition, so the Windows installer gives this error. The only thing you have to do is to choose the BOOTCAMP partition in the installer and go to “Drive options (advanced)” > Format. Finally, install it -
HT6413 When trying to install iCloud I get an error message
When trying to install iCloud I get an error message: "Specified account already exists". I am requested to update iCloud - which I don't already have - on a regular basis but always get this error. I have iTunes and an iPod, and I also have Outlook which is closed (Not sure if this makes any difference)
Why do I get this error and how can I prevent it from happening?
Thanks.Try the following user tip:

while updating ipod touch 4 i got an error message now stuck with apple symbol and empty bar. can i restart ipod?
- What was the error message?
- Try closing iTunes and then disconnect the iPod from the computer. Then reconnect the iPod. If the iPod shows in iTunes then you can try again. However, You should try to resolve the error message first.
- If iTunes does not see the iPod try reetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- I recommend that you come back with the what the error message said and the condition of the iPod and if it is visible in iTunes. -
ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?
In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum. -
I just replaced my iPhone 5 because of a cracked face. I backed up the old phone to iTunes. When I tried to restore my data off of iTunes to the new phone, I got an error message saying that iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the new iPhone. Now what?
I have Apple Care+, but I'll be darned if I can find any way to contact anyone at Apple to talk to about this. They take your money, but make darned sure they don't have to support you unless you jump through a bunch of hoops first, like this site.I've done a restore.. The phone was completely wiped back to factory settings.. It then tells me there isn't enough space on the phone to restore from back up? How when the phone is empty?!

I downloaded Yosemite last night and tried to look at my photos in iPhoto and noticed that needed updating. When I tried to update as requested, I got an error message stating that the app (and several others including Pages and Numbers) couldn't be updated because they weren't purchased by the user ID I had entered. I'm the only user of the computer and now I can't find my photos anywhere! Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksSome folks have solved this issue by dragging the apps to an external disk, then disconnecting it, and then are able to download. Apparently it can arise if you upgraded from an OS the than Mavericks.
Failing that: Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues. -
