9.1.0.79 update, iTunes/QuickTime.

This update came in today (6th April 2010), here in Ireland.
Please note that I am neither an iPod nor iPhone user. My only portable devices are BlackBerry and Nokia. My only static comp is XP.
During the update, the application looked for a file for "MobileMe" somewhere under Documents and Settings and failed. I let it try again. Failed. So I clicked "Cancel" and the update continued to conclusion satisfactorily.
Immediately afterwards, I was asked to instal "MovileMe". I agreed. The installation (very quick) succeeded. However, when then I exit-ed, I was asked again to instal it. I agreed. Same result. So I quitted.
I assume "MobileMe" is an application for use with an iPhone or iPod e.g. for contacts synchronisation, back-ups, etc. Can anyone confirm this?
If so, why does iTunes/QuickTime look to update an application I do not have and then seek to give it to me when I have no Apple portable device registered? Is this an omission in the update's configuration? Or, is there a means whereby I can register that I do not use these products and so should not be offered updates for their desktop partner applications?
To conclude, I find iTunes a very worthwhile device for downloading music. However, any update installation glitch is always a source of anxiety!

As regards preference items, do you mean something like this: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\nb.lproj\DevicePrefsMobileMe.nib?
No, those ones are program files ... language resource files, although I'm not sure off the top of my head what language the nb.lproj folders/files relate to.
The preference files are stored in the following two main areas on XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\
(Where username is the name of an XP user account ... so if you've say got three user accounts on the PC and everyone uses iTunes, there will be iTunes preferences files in six locations in total, because there's an iTunes preferences folder in each of those locations in a user account.)
Still not sure what the installer was looking for in there ... I've got a MobileSync pref folder at:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync
... but that's not quite the same thing.
Ah well, if iTunes is playing fine, I suppose we can take it as a good sign that nothing too peculiar was afoot with the installation mesage ...

Update iTunes/Quicktime

Every time I turn on my computer I get the message that there's something wrong with squlite3_wal_checkpoint in SQLite3.dll and I can't update iTunes/Quicktime anymore. As far as I know, I haven't done anything at all to cause this problem. What can I do?

But when I tried to update itunes I get an error when it validates the quicktime install and says it can't remove the older version because it can't find a valid Quick Time.msi file. I ran a search and found the file name it wants, but when I tell the installation to look at that file, it says it's invalid.
okay, let's try this technique for removing the previous version of QuickTime.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove 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.
does an itunes install go through after that? or do you get a .msi message for itunes, this time?

HT1925 Trying to update iTunes/Quicktime I get a popup saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' H

I get the same popup when I try to uninstall either of them. Haven't been able to update iTunes or Quicktime in over a year. Windows XP
Please help! Thanks!

(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?

Can't update itunes/quicktime on new HD

I just installed a new western digital drive and used it's tools utility to make the new drive the boot drive. Utility moved everything over to the new drive and seems to boot and run fine. But when I tried to update itunes I get an error when it validates the quicktime install and says it can't remove the older version because it can't find a valid Quick Time.msi file. I ran a search and found the file name it wants, but when I tell the installation to look at that file, it says it's invalid. I assume if QT can be fixed, itunes will have the same prob so any suggestions?

Can't update iTunes & Quicktime to 8.0.2.

Hi, I am having problems updating my itunes to 8.0.2. Apple software update tells me that "iTunes + Quicktime" has an invalid signature. The download has been removed. This happens halfway through downloading.
I have tried the "download only" option and I get the same error message. Is this happening to anyone else and what can I do?

Installation error 2738 updating itunes + quicktime on Windows Vista OS

Every time I try to install the new V7 iTunes + Quicktime on my Windows Vista Home Premium OS I receiving the error message that the installer has encountered an unexpected error, error code 2738. Anyone else encountered this? Any solutions?

You may need to register vbscript.dll as in the following article:

This problem seems to have cropped up quite often for vista users.

Problem updating itunes + quicktime

I ran the updater for itunes and quicktime and got the following error message as it is copying new files:
"Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\CoreVideo.Resources\zh_CN.lproj\CoreVideoLocalized.qtr . Verify that you have access to that directory."
I've tried downloading the standalone quicktime installer and installing through there, and I've tried manually deleting the file, but I can't touch it. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I'd really appreciate some feedback.

"Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\CoreVideo.Resources\
zh_CN.lproj\CoreVideoLocalized.qtr.
messages citing the .lproj folders are usually associated with damaged files.
is Windows not letting you delete that file? if not, perhaps try running a chkdsk over the C drive:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
if that finds and repairs any damage, does Windows let you delete the file?
if not, are you able to rename the file in Windows? if you can, does the install go through properly after that?

Just Updated iTunes/Quicktime and it still won't open...

Ok so I have Windows XP and I went to open iTunes a little bit ago and it told me that iTunes couldnt open because I had Quicktime 7.0 and i needed at least 7.1.
So I downloaded a the newer version of iTunes and Quicktime 7.1 or whatever and it still won't open. I shut down and restarted my computer and it is still telling me the same error message. Its trying to tell me delete my iTunes or something and re-download it.
I'm really really afraid that I will lose most of my music library because I havent backed it up recently and I have a lot of purchased music and I really dont know what to do! Someone please help!
Windows XP

ok i just deleted Quicktime and then reinstalled 7.1 and everything works! iTunes and Quicktime both open and work like normal!

Error message while updating itunes 10?

Hi All,
Help needed! I am trying to update itunes & quicktime. I keep getting error message that bonjour.msi path cannot be found. Find alternative path?
Not sure what to do.... Thanks for any help and/or suggestions!!

I keep getting error message that bonjour.msi path cannot be found. Find alternative path?
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 on 25 June 2010. 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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HELP!! Updated iTunes and now it won't work

I just updated itunes & quicktime. I can't open itunes, it tells me that I need to have quicktime 7.0.3. which I do. It tells me to reinstall which I've done 3 times.
Help!!!
Thank you!

hello Illinois!
I can't open itunes, it tells me that I need to have quicktime 7.0.3. which I do.
hmmm. is that message saying that you have 7.0d0 installed?
if so, what we're going to try is a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 install. (that's the version of QT which you are supposed to be getting in an itunes 6.0.2.23, 6.0.3.5 or, as of this afternoon, an itunes 6.0.4.2 installer bundle.)
download and save the QT 7.0.4 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if the standalone QT install goes through okay, will your itunes launch properly?

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

I cannot update itunes to 10.2.2. Missing itunes64.msi error.

I have had Itunes for years. I've never received an error before. When I go to update Itunes+Quicktime I get an error saying itunes64.msi is missing. I tried uninstalling it and it won't uninstall because itunes64.msi is missing. It says it should be under Users\Cindy\App Data\Local\Apple\Apple SoftwareUpdate.

(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

I am having problems updating itunes 10.4. I am getting a message that says invalid signature. any suggestions?

does anyone have any suggestions. I haven't changed anything on my computer. I can't update itunes, quicktime or safari

Many thanks for the screenshot. (The key to these is knowing which particular .msi file is being mentioned by the message.)

(Assuming that the QuickTime and Safari messages were also citing bonjour64.msi, you should also then be good to go with those installs too.)

Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message.

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message. It is more convenient for me to play videos in Quicktime since iTunes is such a memory hog. Please help.

You may get better results if you switch to this alternate version: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and, if needed, reinstall QuickTime. The new (nearly) all 64-bit version doesn't seem to play well with QuickTime. Perhaps if DRM authentication is required QuickTime needs to be able to see something that is part of the older 32-bit code.
