Can't Install Itunes 8.1.1. Update - Permissions Issue on my Own Computer !

I am running ITunes 8 on an Intel Imac under OS 10.5.6. I am the owner and administrator of this computer and have used ITunes for 10 years !!
However, very very strangely, When I run Software Update and try to run the updater to ITunes 8.1.1., I am totally stymied and baffled by the following abort message: (which I paraphrase)
"You can't update IIunes because you lack the necessary access permissions. The installer package has been moved to the trash. Try launching it from the Finder...."
What on earth is going on ??

I tried again after a reboot and this time the installer asked me for my password and seems to have run OK.
Why didn't it do that the first time ??

  • I can't install iTunes 10.7 without updating MAC OS, not sure which version to install

    I just bought the iPhone 5, trying to synch with iTunes to get settings, contacts, photos etc. installed. Got a message that iTunes version 10.7 or later is required. Went to www.itunes.com and downloaded the update, got a message that it requires MAC OSX version 10.6.8 or later. My MAC (Intel based) is currently running 10.5.8. When I select Software Update, it tells me that all software is up to date. I'm not sure what to do next. After some searching, I found:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Is this ok to install on my machine?

    There's no fine print to it. In fact, the print is just as big as everything else on the page...
    Look here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    Under System Requirements:
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access5
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  • HT1349 I can not install iTunes on my PC, I get an error message: "Unable to remove the previous version of Apple Software Update". How should I resolve this problem.

    I can not install iTunes on my PC, I get an error message: "unable to remove previous version Apple Software Update"

    (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 aCode 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 Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

    I can not install itunes on my computer.  It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that. Please help.

    It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that.
    That's an unusual message to be getting on a Windows system. (Typically it's a Mac itunes installation message.)
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please, tamara.
    Try another iTunes install. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
    Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

  • Can't install itunes 10.4 on Windows 7 home premium

    I am not highly technical, so please bear with me:
    After repeatedly being unable to update itunes 10.2, I thought I should just uninstall it and install itunes 10.4. Wow, what a mistake. After many hours I now can't run my MS Office programs AND I can't load or run itunes.
    Originally, while trying to update itunes, I kept getting the message "errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose tools > download only and try installing manually." This confused me as I could not find "tools."
    After some reading online, I decided what I should do is download the Windows Installer clean up tool. Apparently this was the BIG mistake. I selected Apple items to remove with msicuu.exe, only to find that now my MS Office 2010 programs no longer run ("Microsoft Office not installed for this user"), and I still can't install itunes.
    I tried installing itunes 10.2 and got a message that I must install a 32-bit version of itunes.
    I used the cleanup tool once again and tried to install itunes 10.4, and got the message: could not open key: UNKNOWN\components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\6A262021B4A79884EA585F5E86D 86338. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.
    Now when I try to run MS Office software, getting message "Preparing to install", then, Configuring Microsoft Office Professional Plus, then something about the program not being installed for this user (I'm the only user).
    I realize that this board probably can't help me with MS Office software, but can you help me with itunes?

  • Can't install itunes in windows vista

    i'm just upgrade my gf's PC from Windows XP to Vista. I find that I can't install itunes. As it said visualbsic script is missing or disabled. How can i solve it??

    I think it would be a good idea to scan for malware as malware often interferes with Windows Update.
    Download Malware bytes and run a full scan, there is a free version:
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/
    In services, check the Window Update service. It should show as "started" and start up type automatic.
    The other thing is to run the system file checker:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
    This will attempt to fix problems and if it will not run, that is another clue to the problem.

    Hey Debbiered1,
    Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    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 affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take care,
    Delgadoh

  • Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Are you trying to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, or vice versa?
    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.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
