Can't update to iTunes 8.2.x

I have a 2008 iMac with Leopard 10.5.8 and iTunes 8.1 on it. When I start iTunes it tells me about the new version of iTunes, but when I go to software update it can't find it. What's more, when I download 8.2.1 and try to install it manually, it gives me the error "You cannot install iTunes on this volume. A newer version of iTunes is already installed." Aside from the fact that 8.2.1 is the newest version, I have verified from the about page that iTunes is currently v8.1, and the version.plist file also said that iTunes is version 8.1.
Any ideas on how to fix this without deleting and reinstalling iTunes? I have a lot of customizations to genre art, album art, iPod touch apps, etc that I don't want to lose.

You can download iTunes here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Install it over your current installation.
The iTunes library and tour music, apps. etc., are stored separately from the iTunes Application. They are in your user account/music/iTunes folder and won't be affected.
If you still have problems, you may need to completely remove the iTunes application and reinstall it. This article explains how to do that: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 That procedure will also leave your iTunes library, music, apps, etc. untouched.

If possible you need to upgrade OS X. However, what you can upgrade to is dependent on what your Mac hardware and configuration is which you have not provided in your profile.

Hi there Br0x,
You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

(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 a Code 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 iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Hello PamelaFox14,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you need to log in as the administrator to update the iTunes application properly.
Take a look at this article named:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
This section in particular:
1. Make sure you have administrator account access
To install iTunes or QuickTime software, you need to be logged in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure if you have administrator account access, you may find this Microsoft article helpful:
Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?
Otherwise, refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.
All the best,
Sterling

Can't update my iTunes

I can't update my iTunes to the 10.6.3 version. I am currently using the 10.6.1 version on Lion. Everytime I try to, it'll start but by the end, it will show me a prompt that says that it can't complete the update. Why is this happening?

I'd try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple Website:

I can't update my itunes to the latest version. When I try this manually it tells me the URL cannot be found. I am confused. Can anyone help ? I am running windowsxp.

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?

HT5706 How do I update my software on my Apple TV if the television isn't supporting my ATV anymore since the last update. Can I update through iTunes?

Since I last updated ATV my own tv no longer supports my ATV. On my HDMI channel it is picking up different Hz levels ranging from 18 Hz to 180 Hz when ATV is plugged in. A few times some white lines have appeared on the screen as though it is trying to connect. I have tested a different HDMI chord and that didn't have any effect and I've reset my Wi-if router. My tv still supports my bluray DVD player through the HDMI port. I want to update my ATV as I think that will fix the problem, but I can't see the menu on the tv to do so. Is there any way I can do this via iTunes or iPad?

What TV are you using? Did you try switching ports?
Yes, you can connect to iTunes via micro usb. It will restore the system and install the latest firmware.

Can anyone tell me why I can't update my itunes on my p.c? I get a message saying: the feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.   Tried uploading from websit, get msg can't delete old version.

I need some serious help!
I have been trying to update my itunes to version 10.7 and my Quicktime to version 7.7.3!
Having no luck!
So I tried selecting repair software on all of the Apple applications and they seem to have worked.
Then I selected look for upgrades on my itunes (Help) main screen
It said their were two updates -   Itunes 10.7   and Quicktime 7.7.3
I selected the option to update and the .exe files were loaded to my Windows 7 p.c.
However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
O.k.
I then went to the itunes website and tried again. This time it checked my system the process seemed to be working and all of a sudden I got a message saying my old itunes programs could not be removed and or deleted. So I tried to delete my old version myself without success it won't let me.
I've run out of options and am not completely fustrated.
I have itunes on my desktop, my iphone4, my ipod and in my car.
Anyone have any clue how I can resolve this problem?
