Can't download itunes/ipod updater

I already posted a couple of months ago, but got no response. I've been putting the problem off, but it is extremely annoying.
I'm running Windows XP. My internet settings are ALL set to default. I can't download iTunes or the iPod Updater. I get this error message: "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded." I've searched google, these discussion boards, and other discussion websites. I've posted on a couple of them as well, but kept getting the same response- set everything to default and make sure downloads are enabled. Been there, done that! That is NOT the solution, although it seems to have helped many others.
I browsed through the other topics on this thread, but they all seem to be different variations on the same problem. So I figured I'd be better off posting my own than trying to adapt to their problems.
Any suggestions??

hi Christina!
... you know, i don't have the foggiest idea about how to fix this one ...
but why not try just cutting the Gordian knot? do you have access to a PC with a CD burner that
b can
download the software?
if so, why not download and save to the hard drive the two installer packages (and a QT 7 standalone installer, while you're at it). burn them to a CD-R, carry them back to your PC and copy them across to your hard drive.
love, b

How can I get iTunes & iPod updates on cd/rom???

To download the new updates for iTunes & iPod would take days on my dial-up connection!! If someone has this update or can put this update on cd/rom please respond.

hi Duhone!
However I do not have access to any PC with broadband.
ouch. okay, the only thing i can think of to suggest is what beloved and i had to do back in the days when we needed digital photos for on-line applications. we went to a copy store with PCs and broadband (kinkos in our case) and rented a computer for half an hour or so for the photo processing and application submissions.
do you have a copy store anywhere convenient (with a PC with both broadband and a CD burner)?
love, b

Can Not download itune/quicktime updates. Lost my playlist and half the songs?

I have a 2nd generation Shuffle that works great. Went to download and Itunes/quicktime update from Apple. Got a message saying part of the system needed for the upgard was missing. When I went to my Itunes my playlist was gone. There was a bunch of blank floders. No way to sync the player wihthe computer or download new songs. All I can to is charge my shuffle. Tried to delete and reload Itunes with no luck. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

I researched the advice on the link provided by b noir as well as very similar advice from apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. It worked for me (for now).
Some things of note:
I did all of the things requested by the link I provided
My computer WOULD NOT uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. I had to manually remove the folder (also as instructed by the url)
I also uninstalled MobileMe. Was a little different than removing the other apps. Follow instructs provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2992
I did not uninstall iCloud
I have to admit it was a bit scary removing all those things. Is important to note that when re-installing Apple, follow steps to do so as Administrator (the right-click thingy and whatnot).
Hope this helps!

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Pretty sure there never was iTunes 4.2.1 and if there was, it did not work with the iPod touch (any version).
Do you mean iOS 4.2.1?

Where can I download iTunes 10.1 so I can sync my old iPod touch with my G4 running 10.5.8

Where can I download iTunes 10.1 so I can sync my old iPod touch (4.2.1) with my G4 running 10.5.8 ?
I have not found a link on the Apple support site. although there do seem to be links to download many older versions of iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi varjack,
Thank you for your suggestion. For a number of reasons I choose not to upgrade to iTunes 6.3. As this G4 is running slow (it's over eleven years old) I have made a decision to avoid any software upgrades on my 'legacy' applications.Not only will any new software strain the resources of the G4, but I do not think it a good idea to put a lot of features into my machine that it is not capable of utilizing. The iPod touch (I have been prompted by iTunes) will communicate with my G4 if I have iTunes 10.1. That is the solution I continue to seek.
As far as the iTunes Store goes, I do not use it. One reason is that my iPod touch cannot run many of the new Apps (I'm also unable to find legacy Apps, though I haven't tried lately) and I'm not going to run out and buy a new device from Apple so I can. I just don't care enough.
Thanks

I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit

I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit.
I tried the suggestion to delete existing iTunes before installing the updated version.
I receive a message that a file is in use when I try to delete iPOD.
I started Task Manager to stop services for iTunes as suggested but it is not listed.
How do I install iTunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 - 64 bit?

I got the same message about the network resource that I can't access. The only difference is that I couldn't install Itunes 10.3 because I can't remove the old version of Bonjour. I couldn't get rid of anything in add/remove programs, but I went into my program folders and deleted everything that had to do with Itunes. I also ran a Windows Cleanup Utiltiy. Nothing will work. I still can't remove Itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime, MobileMe Control Panel, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, or Apple Software Update in add/remove programs because they are on a network resource that I can't access even though I deleted them from the program folders. This is very frustrating!

I have an old version of Bonjour and can not download itunes

I am tring to down load Itunes, on my computer that is running window XP, when down load is almost finish it say error that there is an old version of Bonjor on computer and can not download itunes 11.

Hello there korteas63,
I was looking into the issue you are describing and found an article that I think may be helpful for us here. It sounds like we need to remove ALL components of iTunes, and any of its associated services like Bonjour.
First this article will help you remove iTunes and its services, named Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer.
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
If you need more detailed steps on removing and these components, refer to the following steps:
2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled In most cases removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all supporting files belonging to those programs. In some rare cases those files may be left behind. After following the previous steps, you should confirm that the following files and folders have been removed and if any are left behind, remove them now:
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files\iTunes\
C:\Program Files\iPod\ Note: Follow the additional steps at the end of this article if you receive the alert "Cannot delete iPodService.exe: It is being used by another person or program" when trying to delete this folder.
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
If you aren't sure how to remove these files, you can follow these detailed steps:
When those steps are completed go ahead and try installing iTunes again. Use this article to troubleshoot installing iTunes if the issue persists, Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows from here

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5/6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

HT1926 Can't download iTunes on my laptop receive following error message- an error occurred during the installation of assembly Microsoft vc80.CRT.type="win32", version 8.0.50727. 6195 public key token= ifc8b3b9a1e18e3b process architecture=x86hresult:00

Can't download iTunes on my laptop receive following error message- an error occurred during the installation of assembly Microsoft vc80.CRT.type="win32", version 8.0.50727. 6195 public key token= ifc8b3b9a1e18e3b process architecture=x86hresult:0073

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)
