Big problem updating itunes

morning all, I have tried installing itunes on my windows vista machine. it gets to the end then tells me that i have an invalid drive "f" and won't let me do anything else. I do not have an "f" drive on my laptop! I do have my music on a portable hard drive "g" but this is always connected and on. i have recently purchased a new nano and am unable to use it as it says that my version of itunes is too old.
Any help gratefully received.

It looks like your computer expects a drive to be at F:/. You may be able to remove the entry that causes iTunes to look for that drive.
I'd recommend a search for "invalid drive" on these forumshttp://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?search=Go&q=invalid+drive, after that you may try the troubleshooting instructions at this page, but they haven't always worked and the search result may help you more than I can http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 under General Installation Troubleshooting. There are six sections there, and it will take some time.

What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?

Problem Updating iTunes with Windows Vista

I downloaded iTunesSetup.exe and ran as an Admin and during the installation I get an error message that says "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\."
What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Apple, apparently, had a fix up for an earlier version of itunes, but that is gone from the web page, and has been yanked.
Yes, there are big problems with iTunes for Windows. Until these are rectified, your Ipod will be a paper weight.

Anybody have problems updating Itunes?

I'm having problems updating Itunes.

Read the forum, so are other people. Does that answer your question?

Having problems Updating iTunes 10.6.3, iT wont update when I click the update button. How do i fix this problem? And does anyone esle have this same issue?

Having Problems Updating iTunes 10.6.3, it wont update when I click the download button to update the itunes. What should I do to fix the issue? And does Anyone esle have this problem?

Just want to update the problem everybody is having downloading the new update. If you waited, and didn't try to reinstall or anything, it looks like a "fix" is coming to you. My previous ITunes was working fine so I decided to just wait it out and see if Apple would fix it. Knew it wasn't my computer because of all the same questions in this forum. And I want to let all to know that when I signed on to my computer today an Apple Software Update window popped up on my desktop. (Not the little one we've all been clicking on from the ITunes screen.). This came up right on my desktop. I clicked on it to download and it worked like a charm. After it was done downloading I pulled up ITunes and all looked great, all my purchases, songs were still there. I then plugged in my IPod and then my IPad and they both synced, etc., ....all is well again! So it you didn't try to re-install or anything, and have just been waiting and using your current version of ITunes, be patient. Looks like the fix will be coming to you, too.

Problem updating itunes to 10.7

Hi im having a problem updating my itunes from 10.6.3.25 to 10.7. Basically if im updating using the the apple software update it finishes downloading and when it gets to verifying the file i get a error message that says ' "ITunes" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed'. Ive also downloaded the file manually from the apple site and when i click on it to install, both normal and run as admin, it doesnt do anything. You see a wee loading bar for literally a second at most and then it disapears. Any help is appreciated thanks.

Mmm... it gets worse. At about the fifth attempt it appeared to install okay but when I restarted my PC I got the error message
"iTunes was not properly installed. If you want to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes."
Running diagnostics suggests there's something wrong with the CD Drive connectivity although it seems to be working okay.
I tried to restore to a previous version, but that seems to have thrown up other error messages.
Guess I'll have to reinstall. What a pain.

Problem Updating iTunes 10 to 10.5

I need help! I keep trying to update iTunes on my Windows Vista and every time during the installation a note comes up and says"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run". I just got an iPod(4th Gen) and I need an updated version for it to work. I dont know if it is Windows or the iTunes setup. Please help me.

Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!" You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3). I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store. My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5. Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs. I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store.
Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

Problem updating iTunes to 8.2 under all OS user accounts

I'm posting this for my brother.
Background: He has an iMac setup with multiple user accounts similar to how I have mine: Administrator, Parents and a separate account for each child. He recently updated iTunes to version 8.2 while logged into his (Parent) account using Admin privileges. I perform my app/OS updates this way as well and any app update is reflected in the respective app under each account. They share a common iTunes Music Store account but keep separate libraries and music folders.
Problem: After his son updated his iPod touch to 3.0, iTunes blocked the first sync indicating he needed to update iTunes to the latest version. When he checked to see what version his iTunes was under his account, it showed version 8.0. He performed a software update, iTunes 8.2 showed up so he downloaded it and, after admin credentials were entered, he installed the update. No luck. Still 8.0. He did that a couple times with no success. Since then, I've had him restart, trash pref files, and download the full update from the Apple website but nothing has worked. His iTunes still shows as version 8.0 even though all other user accounts on their iMac shows version 8.2 and he can't sync his iPod.
I don't believe OS X installs multiple instances of an app for user account purposes so I'm truly baffled by this. Should I uninstall iTunes in his user account? Under the Parent account? Which account "owns" the iTunes app? Is there some other way to get it to update?
I've searched the forums and Googled the issue and I can't find a similar issue anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

We did that as well. They can only find one version of iTunes in the Applications Folder. "Get Info" on the main account shows version 8.2 yet a "Get Info" on the kids account shows version 8.0. Performing an upgrade check from within the kids accounts finds the 8.2 updater and after running it, it indicates that the upgrade was successful. Once the upgrade is applied, the version still remains at 8.0.
Has no one else encountered this? I'm afraid to uninstall iTunes in the kids accounts because I don't know what it will do to the main iTunes.

Problem updating iTunes 8.0.0 to 8.0.1

When trying to update iTunes on my Windows XP systems - a ThinkPad and ThinkCentre - both halt the install with the message that:
"There is a problem with the installer package on this machine." and it rolls back what it has done to that point.
I've not had this problem before and 8.0.0 is running fine.
I don't know how to "repair" or attempt to "repair" my Windows Installer.
Anyone seen this before? Is there another way to initiate an install/update?
I'm hesitant to uninstall iTunes first as it may not successfully install clean with this 8.01 install package.
I do this by saving the iTunes installer completely on my disk and then running it - rather than run from the download dialog.

Problem Updating iTunes 7 on external hardrive

My iTunes App is on my external hardrive, containing all of my music, videos, pictures, and other files. I just recently updated my iTunes to the latest version. The app automatically tries to open it from my main hardrive. So, when it opens it shows I have no files whatsoever in iTunes because it's trying to open it from my main hardrive and everything is stored on the external hardrive, including the older version of iTunes. I've tried just deleting it from the main hardrive and reading it form the external, but it still opens from there. The space the file takes up is about 62 GB. but the free space on my main hardrive is about 54 GB. so, it's not like I can just swap things around. Is there anyway I can redirect the program to always open from my external hardrive? or any other solution to fix this problem? might I add that the last time I updated iTunes, I didn't have this problem.

keep your iTunes folder on your external drive.
When you re-open itunes next time, press option until a window pops up,
asking you to select your library.
[this is a way to keep and manage multiple libraries]
select the itunes folder.
this should load your library correctly.
if you did not yet - don't upgrade to itunes 7.2.

Problems updating itunes

I cannot update itunes 10,5.3. The download is fine but it will not install. It tells me there is a program nessesary for the installation that has been shut down in a wrong way... (message was in Dutch) and to contact supplier of the software... can anyone help me with this?

It tells me there is a program nessesary for the installation that has been shut down in a wrong way..
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
