Updating itunes on Windows 8
Hi all
I am trying to update the itunes software(currently itunes 6.0.4.2) on my computer running on windows 8 as I want to sync my ipad mini which is running IOS7.
The ipad mini does not appear in the itunes and hence I want to update my itunes assuming that it will then work.
But when I click on check for update in itunes , its giving me error that the update server cant be connected ,please check you connected.
My internet connection is fine and I have tried stopping all firewalls,proxies and antivirus program but the same error since over a week.
Please help !!
Also is there a way to backup the itunes library, I have 2000 songs and they are well organsied in playlists.. I want to back up with the playlists as otherwise it can be a nightmare.
Thanks
SB
Hi ladymelbo... You're digging up some old threads unneccessarily. While Safari might work for you it seems Apple are no longer interested in its development, it hsn't been updated in nearly 2 years. For those looking to download iTunes at this time the direct download links in the further information section of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates might be more useful.

I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open. First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.
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 press on)
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.

Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

I updated iTunes today (Windows). I restarted the computer but when I tried to launch, I get the message, ""The procedure entry point AVCFURLAssetInheritURIQueryComponentFromReferencingURIKey could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll".
I then did a new install of the latest iTunes version and got the same problem. No more iTunes.
HELP!!!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 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.

I am trying to update Itunes in Windows XP but after going through the the installation process I am getting a message saying "The Older Version Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support". What do I do???
"The Older Version Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support".
Doublechecking before proceeding. Is it saying the older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed, or some other program? (Several different program names can be mentioned in this context.) -
Cannot update itunes in windows XP
Cannot update itunes in windows XP, a message appears about a installation file not available
perfect, thanks.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

Will i be able to use the new iphone 4s on the old software? What will happen if i uninstall itunes then reinstall again to get the new version? will all my contenet be lost?
(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? -
TS1609 Error when installing or updating iTunes on Windows 8
When I try to install or update iTunes, I receive a message to the effect that there has been a failure to install property. It is suggested that I verify that I have sufficient privileges to start system services??? I have full administrative privileges of my system. McAfee is not installed.
I've uninstalled and attempted to reinstall the latest version of iTunes several times with the same results. This all began with a simple attempt to update to version 11.0.3.42.
Any suggestions or help will be appreciated. Thanks.Hi ladymelbo... You're digging up some old threads unneccessarily.

Error Updating iTunes On Windows
Sorry I can't seem to find where to start a new topic...
For the last few months my Dell Studio is asking me to update iTunes/Quicktime but each time I try it gives an error and then backs out of the update. When I connect my iTouch it also tells me I need to update and I get the same issues. Why can't I update any more? It was working fine prior to Sept/Oct.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit system.
I've asked questions here before but never get a reply. For the money I paid for the iTouch they should offer a basic support instead of charging you as soon as the warranty runs out in a few months.
Thanx for any help you can provide.
<Edited by Host>As close as I can recall the error was;
Error getting file security
Quicktime 7.66.????(not sure exact #'s)
Get last error;5
I tried to unistall Quicktime and all others associated with it (ie, Bonjour, Apple applications, etc)but it would give that same error then stop the uninstall process.
Thanx for the quick reply -
Update itunes on Windows XP computer
I keep getting the error message when trying to install update to my Windows XP computer get error message about privileges and Apple mobile device failed to start won't retry or ignore
Follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
In order like it tells you to.. and if it appears that the apple mobile device support does not uninstall or goes backwards just ignore it and move on thru the list in order.
Once you are done uninstalling all five components.. restart your computer
Once the computer comes back on and is fully up and started go to www.apple.com/itunes and redownload itunes and install it.
This should resolve your issue!
If you want to try to avoid all that you can try this it worked for me.. close out all itunes files.. type in services and wait for it to come up.. click on services find the apple mobile device support and stop the service.. then go download itunes again and install it.. worked for me but I'm on windows 7 home premium.
Good luck! -
Cannot update iTunes in Windows 7 - download will not complete.
When my software updater alerts me that itunes needs to be updated and I try to download the latest version, I keep running into problems with the download. This happens regardless of internet connection speed, other programs running, etc. The download simply stops halfway through and eventually I get an error message saying the download wasn't completed. I've tried going through both iTunes ("check for updates) and my windows software updater. Suggestions??
perfect, thanks.
