After trying to update itunes it now hangs moving items into place.

I get the error that this copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall itunes (error -42037).  I have attempted to reinstall but the install process hangs at moving items into place.  I have left it over night, before manually shutting down and trying again, and then left it all day.  Still hangs, whilst hanging the time remaining goes up from less than a minute, to 1 hour 6 minutes, to 2 hours 50 minutes etc.  I need to fix quickly as I am setting up a new phone and was able to restore all but my music from icloud.  I need my music and playlists set up before tomorrow.  Thanks

Hi, reinstalling iTunes should not mess with your music et cetera (however some users have suggested on here that it did), but keeping a backup is always recommended anyway.

  • ITunes Install stuck on "Moving Items Into Place" for 3 days

    3 days ago, I was unable to open iTunes on my Mac OSX Version 10.9.3. The error message claimed that the file was corrupt and I needed to uninstall and redownload iTunes. I started the download on May 16th in the morning. It got stuck on "moving items into place." After a few hours, I finally managed to force quit and shut down my system. Then, I tried again. It has been stuck on this screen since May 16th. Any idea why I am unable to download iTunes? HELP!

    Just found this and it fixed the issue for me, hope it works for you:
    - Try booting into Safe Mode, hold down left side shift key when booting, hold untill you see the progress bar (note this will take longer than normal, so be patient)
    - Log in and open disk utilities (Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility app) then select (highlight) your volume in the left side bar, click repair permissions.
    - The run software update again and try the install while in safe mode, if sucessful log out (this will take a little longer as well) and log back normally.

  • I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    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 move on to the next item)
    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.

  • Software update stops on Moving Items into place.

    Software update keeps hanging on the 'Moving items into place' when installing the latest version on my MBP13 with Lion 10.7.5 installed.
    I just run software update and installed 3 other minor updates which worked perfectly.
    Using Software Update to install iTunes 11.0.2 the progress bar hangs at about 90-05% with the banner 'Moving Items into place'. It will not continue. This is the third time I have had this and has been a re-install of the full OS to full resolve.
    What is going wrong? Any diagnostics I can do?

    I have this same problem only it is for a HP Photosmart printer driver update.  But it also happens on Digital Camera RAW Compatibility and Java for OS X 2013-003.  Please help!

  • My MacBook pro is freezing at the "moving items into place" phase. I have to restore from time machine each time. I'm talking about the 10.7.4 update

    I can't seem to get the 10.7.4 update to work. It constantly freezing at the "moving items into place" phase. I let it run overnight and it's still frozen. I have to restore from time machine backup each time. Any help appreciated.

    this is somethinng like the third post i have read about that update causing troubles...
    But if I read this right- it is still in the install? Had you restarted and repaired permissions BEFORE the download? As well as emptying cache in safari first?
    The other troubles I read had to do with after install, and caused by...oh what was it...it was early morning...an article at CNET news had it...google 10.7.4 update trouble and read the cnet one.

  • Software update freezes at "moving items into place"

    Do the usual update procedure, but Software Update gets to the "moving items into place" point and hangs. You can't press "stop" you can't quit you can only turn off the machine by pressing and holding the on/off button.

    Try booting into Safe Mode, hold down left side shift key when booting, hold untill you see the progress bar (note this will take longer than normal, so be patient)
    Log in open disk utilities (Applications>Utilities.Disk utility.app) rhen select (highlght) your volume in the left side bar, click repair permissions.
    The run software update again and try the install while in safe mode, if sucessful log out (this will take a little longer as well) and log back normally.

  • Apple Software Update HP 2.12 Freezes At "Moving Items Into Place"

    This morning Software Update notified me of a printer software update, namely HP 2.12. I quit all other applications and commenced with the update. It made it to "moving items into place" and then froze. I waited for 20 to 30 minutes and there was no progress on the installation past that point. I waited a little longer and then did a hard restart and tried again. Same results except this time I left it for several hours. I had to hard restart again and then downloaded the update manually to install it thinking that there was a problem with Software Update itself. The updater has frozen at the same place. I am working on a Macbook early 2008 running 10.7.5 with 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to deal with the problem? Thank you.

    Irelander,
    Glad to hear you are back up and running. Please let us know ASAP if you run into further problems.
    Best of Luck!
    I work with HP but my posts and opinions are my own.

  • Nano ver 6 doesn't show up even after reinstalling iTunes which had to be done because of problems with all Apple devices after trying to update iTunes via a message from Apple.

    Nano ver 5/6 doesn't show up in iTunes even after having to reinstall iTunes because of problems with trying to update iTunes after receiving message from Apple that an update was available.  Other Apple products are showing up.

    Hello Bill,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano.  I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized in iTunes:

  • Tried to update itunes but now it wont open,an error message comes up ??

    i have tried to update my itunes but now i am not able to open it and an error message comes up saying "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found . re installing the application may fix the problem" . i dont know how to reinstall it or how to fix it help !??

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Error message after trying to update itunes 12

    error messages appearing when trying to update to itunes 12.  dont use the computer much

    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.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • HT1338 Having problems with latest software update - update just sitting in "moving items into place". Been like this all night - any suggestions ?  Running mount ion lion on a MacBook Pro.

    System not moving out of software update.

    OSX Mavericks is so riddled with bugs, it's extremely frustrating.
    I made the mistake of upgrading to a new rMBP a few weeks ago (which came with Mavericks) and so far I've experienced
    random issues with the machine not waking up from sleep
    display output garbled
    videos freezing when played in fullscreen on quicktime
    applications failing to load, with an error code of -600, as well
    I've resorted to rebooting my laptop every time I want to use it, or rebooting every couple of hours, because it seems that Mavericks can't handle more than a couple of hours of runtime without crashing.
    Apple, get your *** into gear, fix this crap, and find a new quality control team.
