Automatic updated now can't open itunes

Recently updated itunes and now i get an error message that i have a problem with the shortcut. Then i go to properties and the target and start in boxes are blank. I tried to reinstall but it won't let me. I am running windows xp on a dell.

when i try to reinstall it tells me that the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable
ah, one of those.
with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

  • IConcertCal trouble...I now can't open iTunes!

    I downloaded from the Apple website a while ago the application called iConcertCal. It is a calender in iTunes where you can see tour dates and album release dates. The problem is I tried to go into iTunes this morning and I got the message that there was a new version of iConcertCal to update to. I clicked cancel, and then it automatically closed iTunes. Now, whenever I open iTunes I get the same message and if I click cancel or download, iTunes closes. Is there a way to uninstall iConcertCal?

    For the fix, go here: http://www.iconcertcal.com/
    I was having trouble all morning, and this fixed it right up.

  • Just upgraded to vista and now can't open itunes

    I just upgraded to vista (what a pain) I have uninstalled itunes and then reinstalled itunes but I still can't open it. This is what happens. When I click on the itunes icon I get the licence agareement which I check agree and when it goes away I get an error message which says: "The folder Itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." I have tried clicking on the Itunes icon and have gone to itunes properties control panel and clicked on security and tried to get permission many times. After reading post's on this fourm I went to the itunes folder on my c drive and went to the same control panel and tried again but to no avail. I had no trouble with itunes on XP and have used it for years. Btw I can open Quicktime player but it will not play my video files (I don't care because quicktime is not my default player). but I can open it.
    I have an Ipod nano and I want to use it to listen to audio books but I can't load them onto it without itunes.
    Thanks for any help in advances

    Yes I still have a problem. This is what it is in a nutshell. With User Account Control on in vista I can't open itunes. I am not sure what happens when I try but here goes. First I have installed itunes into my computer and have an icon on my desktop. When I click on that icon the first thing that happens is that I get a licenses agreement which I accept. As soon as I accept the agreement it goes away and I get an error message that says “The folder Itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." The only option that the error message gives me is to say “OK”. When I click on the OK button on the error message it goes away and nothing else happens. Because of this problem I have uninstalled and installed itunes at least 5 times.
    I have tried to read as many post in this forum as I can trying to find a solutions to this problem but to no avail. I have also gone to the vista forum and have read as many posts as I can about itunes problems that are there but to no avail. I have tried many fixes that have not work except one. And that was “to turn off the User Account Control.” When I turned off this control I was able to open itunes for the first times. Since then I have opened itunes many times and use it to load my ipod. But when I turn on User Account Control I have the same problem and I can’t open itune. I am open to suggestions on how to fix this problem and at this time I am not sure what is wrong. I have tried my things trying to fix this problem but for all I know I might have does something wrong. So at point I will try anything that you suggest.

  • After Software Update/iphone sync, now can't open itunes

    I guess I have corrupted itunes. I was updating itunes software and tried to sync my iphone at the same time. Now when I try to open itunes, I get message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". I then tried to remove and re-install the software and it won't let me remove it. When I try and remove it, I get a message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". Any help would be appreciated.

    Seem my post in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2728684&tstart=0
    You will need to look iTunes rather than Quicktime.
    If any other programs are referred to in the same way when trying to install iTunes clean them up in a similar way.

  • Help! I dowloaded an automatic update & now can't login to my Mac!!!

    I started with Mac OS X v10.4 on my computer, but set it up for automatic updates. After downloading the latest update yesterday, after I type in my password on the login screen, I briefly see a "blank desktop" view (i.e., I can see the wallpaper that I normally have displayed) and then the screen goes to a "blank light blue" screen before returning me to the log in screen. I've tried running the disk utility but no luck... Does anyone have a suggestion???

    If you are ok with using the terminal you can try this, copied from another thread
    +FIXED WITHOUT REINSTALLING OS X+
    +Found the install disk, booted from it, and instead of doing archive/install, went to Utilities | Terminal. Note that my laptop's HD is called "Laptop HD", not the standard "Macintosh HD" ...+
    +I didn't have a USB drive handy, so I had to get the installer package over using another networked computer and HTTP:+
    +On another computer, downloaded the installer package, opened the disk image, and copied the package itself to my ~/Sites folder. Renamed it "fix.pkg" to make for less typing. Right-clicked and selected "make an archive of fix.pkg" to make "fix.pkg.zip". Made sure web sharing was on in the System Prefs.+
    +Back on BustedMac, typed the following:+
    +cd "/Volumes/Laptop HD/Users/myuserid"+
    +../../usr/bin/curl http://myothercomputeraddress/~myuserid/fix.pkg.zip -o fix.pkg.zip+
    +../../usr/bin/unzip fix.pkg.zip+
    +Now, having the package on the machine, I then did as suggested in a few other related threads:+
    +../../usr/sbin/installer -pkg package.pkg -target "/Volumes/Laptop HD"+
    +The package installer then ran (in the Terminal window). It said "Installer: Package name is Mac OS X Update (Intel)" and then another line ... sat there for a minute, then gave lots of errors about kexts not containing code for the architecture specified (which seems odd ... are these PPC-only kexts maybe?). Again, it sat for a few minutes with the fans on and periodic disk activity. Finally, it gave the following message:+
    +"installer: The install was successful".+
    +Quit Terminal.+
    +Force-Rebooted (the installer disables the usual system restart menu option, so that's the only choice).+
    +For giggles, I held down Command-V while rebooting ... got to the point of the "diskarb isn't ready yet" messages (and actually something which looked a bit alarming about giving up waiting for diskarb), and about 5 minutes later I had my login screen.+
    +So, if you are at all adept with the command line, this will give you a way to re-run a failed OS X update without trashing the entire system!+
    +15" MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)+
    If not I would suggest an Archive and install from the cd. And then run the updates.

  • Downloaded 7.7, but now can't open itunes

    I am working with Windows XP. I upgraded my itunes to 7.7 but when I tried to open it, it would not open. I took instructions from one of the help articles that told me to delete the document SCInfo.sidb, howeveer after doing that and restarting my computer it still would not open. Does anyone know how I can fix this so I can open itunes?

    I am also having problems with instal of itunes 7.7
    I am running XP pro SP3 on my laptop and kept getting Error 1316.A when I tried to instal. I used windows instal cleanup to remove all old traces of prev instals.
    Now when I try to run it I just get a message saying it encountered a prolem and needs to close (Aside)[sending MS error reports doesn't help]
    The same happens when I try to open quicktime.
    I've had error messages WS_FTP not properly installed for user. Does this have anything to do with it??
    When I get this working I'm not even sure it will recognise my ipod.
    What ARE you doing Apple?
    It makes me want to bin my Ipod and go back to generic MP3 players

  • TS3212 i have had itunes on my computer for ever. now that that there was an update i can not open itunes or redownload it!

    help

    You could try installing another browser. Here's a link to the (free) Firefox download:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    Here's a link to the (free) Chrome download:
    https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?hl=en
    If you'd prefer not to install a different browser on your machine, perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • Loaded update and can't open iTunes anymore

    just installed the update and now it will not open? Any advice?

    Verify your hard drive with Disk Utility (not the permissions verify, the other one).  If it needs repairing then we can go into that.  Next, repair permissions with DU.  Now download the iTunes updater.  Don't use Software Update.  Install the update.  Run DU again to repair permissions.  Try iTunes again.
    Ideally you should back up your computer before running any update.  If an update causes problems and results in file loss then you won't have ot worry.
