  • When i try to install i tunes it goes so far down the installation process then i get a message ' could not access network location %APPDATA%\.  Can any one help.

    When i try to install i tunes, it goes so far down the installation process and then comes up with a message ' could not access network location %APPDATA%\.  I then retry and it comes up with the same message.
    It also tells me i tunes needs 'Quick Time' to support the software.  I have downloaded Quicktime from i tunes seperately and gone through the whole process again, only to get the same message.
    Can anyone please help?

    These kind of messages can often be cleared by using the Microsoft Installer cleanup Utility.
    Here is a method for cleanup of your old iTunes installation and reinstall.
    == uninstall with cleanup ==
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save the files on your PC.
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    (To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista or Win 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • I am having trouble re insalling itunes i get the message "Could not access network location %APPDATA%|.

    Help  can't install or uninstall itunes keep getting the message " could not access network location %APPDATA%\, "

    And follow this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Apple moved some drivers for 64-bit now to where they should have been.
    Quicktime also use to place files outside the norm.
    One of the reasons I recommend when it comes to Apple:
    Wait for the ".1" and always use the uninstaller first and then install.
    That means you may want manual standalone installer instead - and that way you have 10.4.1 in case you need to later downgrade.

  • ITunes will not install, error message "could not access network location"

    I just got a new iPod Classic for Christmas but I have an older Mac so I was going to use an extra PC that we have laying around the house but every time I try to install iTunes, I get this Error:
    Could not access network location \\S090100\d$\Data.Backup\C09010009-FDR\My Documents\My Pictures\.
    It does not have Error 1606 anywhere on it and it asks me if I want to Retry or Cancel. I have tried EVERYTHING, please 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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • When i go to burn a dvd, it gives an error message "menu duration exceeds 15 minutes." how can i fix this??

    When I go to burn a dvd, imovie displays an error message, "menu duration exceeds 15 minutes.  How do I fix?

    You may have too many chapters (scene selections), or perhaps one or more of the menus are looping for too long. Each menu in its standard form generally runs for no more than 30 seconds before repeating. In any of the menus have you inserted your own music that runs for a much longer duration? If so, using the Inspector, reduce the music time to 30 seconds (there is a slider you can adjust).
    Regarding chapters - how many do you have in the project? You may need to delete some markers in your iMovie project. In most of the iDVD themes each scene selection page allows up to 6 scenes. So, for example, if you have 50 scenes marked, the theme would require 9 scene selection pages. I really don't know what the maximum is, but clearly you've run over the 15 minute limit for the iDVD menus. It may be a combination of too many chapters and music looping for too long on one or more of the menus.

    Okay, I received a never used iPod Nano
    (Model MC034LL ,Version 1.0. 2 PC, it looks like this http://www.iphonemag.ch/wp-content/uploa…
    for Christmas this year, however; I'm having some trouble installing iTunes.
    I have already downloaded iTunes, but installing seems to be the problem.
    The 'iTunesSetup' icon appears on my desktop and I double-clicked it to begin the installing process.
    When I do so, it says
    "Gathering required information... Status: Computing Space Requirements"
    after a few seconds it says, "Could not access network location %APPDATA%/."
    As soon as I click 'retry' it says the same thing.
    If I press cancel, the same message pops up and then it says,
    "iTunes Installer Completed
    The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
    Your system has not been modified To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
    Click exit to finish the installer"
    I tried the help page for iTunes, but noting seemed helpful.

    Trying to update iTunes on XP. Keep getting message "could not access network location iTunes\."
    Any ideas

    "could not access network location iTunes\."
    (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?
