Trying to upgrade an itunes download and getting error message "windows installer did not finish as expected.  contact person or vendor"

trying to upgrade my ITunes for my Iphone and cannot access content.   During upgrade getting message "windows installer did not finish as expected..contact vendor"

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Keep getting error message: Windows installer is not correctly installed

    Hello all..
    After trying to install some software or getting the thinkvantage update I keep getting this error message.
    "The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
    So I've restarted and made sure I was in normal mode. Didn't help.  Does anyone have any idea before I put this thing into the shop?? LOL
    Thanks!

  • Trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings

    trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings. What am I to do?

    The storage you purchased is in the cloud, and doesn't do anything with your pad.  Your problem is simply that you have too much content on your pad.   Go to settings, general, usage, and it will show you how much space you have avaliable on your pad.  If you let the screen sit for a while, all the apps will be displayed, and you can see how much stuff you have associated with each.
    You have to no option but to delete some of the content on your pad.  Videos, comics, pitcures and some music files use a lot of space.   The cloud allows you to leave stuff there, so you can get it when you need it.

  • Trying to install windows 7 and getting error message windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS

    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

  • I recently had to get a new computer.It required me going from windows xp to 7 I am trying to put it one the new computer but I get following message  Windows installer could not be accessed could be in safe mode.How do I get around it? need it to charge

    I recently had to get a new computer.It required me going from windows xp to 7 I am trying to put it one the new computer but I get following message  Windows installer could not be accessed could be in safe mode.How do I get around it? need it to charge my ipod on my computer.

    I have used PCs for years, and still do at work.  But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself).  It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI.  I have no experience with Win8.  Here are my thoughts:
    1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
    2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC.  But not as much less as some would have you believe.  You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display.  And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
    3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
    That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac.  For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation.  I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap.  I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way).  You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere.  And, it probably isn't cheap.
    I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
    I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice.  But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
    So, there you go.

  • HT203200 I upgraded to 11.4 and get error message -50 when trying to signin. My PC is XP.

    I reinstalled iTunes 10.? as could not previously show all new podcasts and apps, only some, this new upgrade showed all new podcasts and apps. But then could not sync at all so I downloaded 11.4, now I cannot signin and get ''We could not complete you iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-50).''. Have turned off Windows firewall to no avail. Firewall is not enacted in my other anti-virus program.

    Hello there 1Romans1,
    In the research I have been doing it seems like this specific error is usually caused by some sort of security software as it secures incoming and outgoing packets. Take a look at this section of the article iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error50
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    There are other steps in the article but they are more for restoring/syncing issues. I feel these are the important ones for your situation.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • I am trying to re-install itunes. I get error message "Verify that you have access to that directory"

    I am trying to re-install itunes.
    I removed all Apples software, and restarted.

    now what?

    Thanks so much.  This definitely worked.  I'm sorry I did  not think of using IE.  I use Foxfire exclusively so seldom even think of IE as an alternative.

    click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package itunes64.msi in the box below 
    (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?

  • Tried to upgrade to iTunes 10.7, got error 7 (windows error 5). How do i fix this?

    Tried to upgrade and install the latest version of iTunes, 10.7 and received an error after install process. Error states that itunes was not installed properly, and a reinstall is necessary. Shows Error 7 (Windows error 5) in the message. No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall, the same error persists. Already tried the MS .NET Framework upgrades to no avail. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this issue?

    A complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related software components is worth a try (7s can indicate trouble with other software components like Apple Application Support). See the following documents for instructions:
    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
    ... But if no joy there, let's check to see if there's a .NET issue underlying this:

  • On my Mac, I am working with IMovie and trying to burn to a dvd and get error message 2135?  Never got this before.  What is it?  Thanks

    Using IMovie, I get error 2135 when trying to burn to a DVD.  Actually, it is during the preparation stage.   Never got this before  Whats the problem?  Thanks

    Hi
    You must tell more
    • Error 2125 - I recognize - but -2135 is new to me
    The other is in regard to Movie Length in TIME + MENU time - as this is the limiting factor in iDVD (not GBs or other just time)
    a. How many movies
    b. duration of each movie
    c. Menu selected
    d. Is MENU still and silent - or animating and with audio (Takes lot's of the movie time)
    e. Encoding quality selected in iDVD
    f. HOW did You go from iMovie to iDVD
    g. What version of iMovie and iDVD are You using
    h. FREE Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - HOW MUCH
    As You see there are lot's of info needed to be of any relevant help
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.

  • Trying to import a Quicktime movie and get error message

    After exporting from FCP, using QuickTime settings, when I try to import into DVD Studio Pro 3, I get a message saying wrong format.
    It says "could not import one file. Incompatible format".
    (there's only one file I'm trying to import.
    Any advice would be helpful.
    Thanks.
    J.

    J.:
    When you export from FCP take care of selecting QuickTime Movie self contained with same settings that your timeline (ussually the default settings in the export window).
    Besides that my advice is you encode your video to MPEG2 and your audio to Dolby AC3 before importing in DVDSP. DVDSP will leave audio uncompressed what can give you playback issues in some players because it take too much of your bitrate.
    In DVDSP3 you must use A.Pack for the AC3 encoding. Try this tutorial about Encoding AC3 with A.Pack (from KenStone site).
    Good luck.

  • Trying to convert word to pdf and getting error message using Ver. 7

    I what sent a word doc by a correspondent of mine which I tried to convert to a pdf. I right clicked the doc on my desk top and chose "convert to PDF". It looked as it has all the other times but after it had opened word it came up with an error window/message of "Missing PDFmaker files." "Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" and then a yes or no button. If I hit no it closes everything if I hit yes it acts like it's installing something and after a while it tells me that the computer needs to be restarted for changes to take affect. I have run it twice now and it doesn't change anything.
    can someone give me any tips on this?
    D

    You did not indicate the version of WORD. If it is WORD 2007, then you can not do this function with AA7. Try opening the file in WORD and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that works, then look for the PDF Maker options in WORD (create PDF). If you find them, then try that. If they do not show but the print worked, then you indeed have an issue with PDF Maker - probably either the macro is not activated in WORD or the version of WORD is 2007.
