Can't upgrade Win2K3 Server to iTunes 8.1.1.10

I've run iTunes on this server loaded with Win2K3 R2 SP2 for several years, never had a problem with it until now. Every time I try to upgrade to iTunes 8.1.1.10 I get the message, "Apple Mobile Device Support requires that your computer is running Windows XP SP2 or newer."
This would appear to be a simple problem in the definition of the setup requirements in the iTunes MSI, although I'm not sure. Is there some new feature or functionality that can't be delivered on Win2K3?
I have been running iTunes 8.1.0.52, and will continue to do so until I can resolve this problem. I haven't tried modifying the MSI yet, but have done so successfully in the past -- getting software with incorrect requirements to install on this server.
Thank you,
-Brian

I don't know myself, but the issue is discussed in the following thread.

1. Yes
2. No it's not free you have to buy the upgrade, unless you are already paying for Software Assurance.
3. Maybe. It depends upon the current implementation you have.

Can I upgrade iCloud storage using iTunes cards for payment?

I have chosen not to use my credit card in conjunction with my AppleID, so I purchase all of my apps and media using iTunes cards. Can I pay for upgraded iCloud storage using iTunes credits? I would prefer to pay one year at a time using those credits, but if it needs to be monthly, that would be fine as well. I just want to use the iTunes cards instead of a credit card for the payment.

Thank you. So to clarify, if I put a credit card on file for this AppleID, but I have plenty of iTunes credit to cover the monthly cost, then the monthly fee will be pulled from iTunes credits instead of my credit card. Is that correct?
It sounds like the credit card is required in order to provide a backup payment option if the iTunes credits are all used up. Is that also correct?
You're awesome!! Thanks for the help.

I have a ipod mini, i upgraded my battery, and drive to 32 GB, my itunes will not see it, and the mini only shows file pic error. I have a 10.4.11 powerbook 667 so i can't upgrade to a newer itunes, which is 4.7.1, all i want is a better battery-more song

Hi,
I have a older ipod mini which needed a battery, so i also upgraded the drive to a 32 GB flash drive. When i did the upgrade, it saw the itunes fine, but it never loaded anything. When i unplug it it shows the folder with "!" icon, and i can't get my itunes to see it. I have a powerbook 667 mhz g4 with itunes 10.4.11, so i can't upgrade to leopard. All i wanted was a better battery and a bit more song volume. This older 4 GB will fit back in and works fine, but i'm upset i spent $37 to only fail. What am i doing wrong? itunes is 4.7.1 How can i over come this?

In Disk Utility, select the iPod (the device) in the sidebar. So, if you see the iPod in the sidbar with a "volume" indented below the iPod, select the "device" (not the volume).
Go to the Erase tab to the right. The choice for Format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Name does not matter, because iTunes will rename it during the Restore. Click Erase.
it "flashed" out of itunes.
That may be an issue with the USB connection. As a test, shut down (power off) the Mac. Disconnect other USB devices including USB hub, except for standard USB keyboard and mouse (if normally used). SInce this is a laptop, connect it to its power adapter, so that it's not running on battery power.
Connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the Mac. Note if there is any difference regarding the iPod not maintaining a connection.

How can I upgrade Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials?

I have just installed Windows Server 2012 Essentials on my Home Network (from the installation DVD). I have done absolutely no configuration Installing Server 2012 was an oversight; I meant to install Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
I tried to correct by installing R2 from its DVD, hoping it would do an upgrade. That didn't work.
Is there a simple way to make it possible to install the correct OS?   For example, can I just demote the existing server and remove any roles that were installed, so that the R2 disk will install over top of the existing installation?
Alternatively, is it safe to just reformat the partition and install R2?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn408635.aspx seems to imply that this is OK.

Hi Larry.   Thanks for the reply. It didn't work, but I don't believe you are wrong. Rather I think there is something weird in my system. I'm marking your reply as answer.
Some background: I'm repurposing an older PC (Compaq SR1614X) as a home server, to manage my home network, use as a gateway to my Azure server, and to help my Server 2012 training (on MVA). I've been messing with it for nearly two months,
on and off. From the start, I've had trouble installing the server 2012 software (see previous threads August-27 and August-16
), but when I got to the point that I could install Server 2012 Essentials, I thought I could upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Essentials exactly as you suggest. That was where you helped me a lot, i.e. you confirmed that my expectations were reasonable.
So when it didn't work, I spent most of yesterday trying various different procedures. I got tantalizingly close, but still no cigar.
I can install any Windows Client and Server 2012 Essentials, but the R2 Essentials installation never finishes; it goes into an "error 0x000000C4" boot loop. At first I wondered if it was because I was installing a server over a
server, but you confirmed that's not the issue. I later verified that I cannot install R2 over Windows 7 either, whereas R1 over Win7 is fine. I can only surmise one of two problems:
I have a bad installation disk
There is a hardware issue
I plan to eliminate (1) by creating a new disk from a new download. I have verified that the latest ISO file and the one I have been using have identical byte counts,
For (2), I had suspected that the problem was that the older system has no UEFI, but since R1 installs OK, I am discounting that. Today's effort: to eliminate the DVD drive, I will try booting from a Flash Drive. To eliminate
the hard drive, I will try installing to a different drive.
I am hoping you can help with one more thing. When I run setup.exe with the /noreboot option, I have a better chance of success. The option suppresses the first reboot only, but that one (after "Expanding the setup files") always
fails, so suppressing it gets me almost to the end of the install. Is there a way to modify setup.exe so the it always runs with the /noreboot option?

Can I upgrade calendar server 6.0 to 2005Q4

Hi,
IHAC, who uses Sun Calendar Server 6.0 -
1. Can we upgrade to the latest 2005Q4 (on the same host) or
2. Can we export the required data/configuration and import it to the new server with 2005Q5 installed
In both the cases, we will be using the DS 5.2p4 in schema I
Regards,
Deepak

Hi,
IHAC, who uses Sun Calendar Server 6.0 -What version exactly? Calendar server 6 covers a wide
range of versions.We have
Sun Calendar Server V6.0 (Rev. 2003.11.14.18.12.58)
>
1. Can we upgrade to the latest 2005Q4 (on the same
host) or
Depends on the exact version you are coming from. I
suggest you read the manuals with regards to upgrades
for calendar server.
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-2331/calendarSvr.html
2. Can we export the required data/configurationand
import it to the new server with 2005Q5 installed I don't see why not. Of course you would need to test
this thoroughly. I am assuming of course that the
'new server' is the same platform (sparc->sparc or
x86->x86). This is usually the safest approach since
you can test this prior to running the production
migration.It will be Sparc-Sparc
>
In both the cases, we will be using the DS 5.2p4in
schema I Shouldn't be an issue.

Can't upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

Even though the "Windows Server Installation and Upgrade" TechNet article (DN627667) claims that I can upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, it seems I can't. I get an error message saying "Windows 2008
R2 Enterprise cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (Server Core Installation). You can choose to install a new copy of Windows..." What might be causing this issue? Thanks for any input! :)

Hi,
Firstly, for retail versions, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SP1 can be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter.
I assume you are running Windows Server 2008 R2 retail version, right?
In addition, it seems that in earlier version than Windows Server 2012,
once you install the server in Core or with GUI mode, you could not switch to the other. The only option was to rebuild the server from scratch.
Did you install Windows Server 2008 R2 in GUI? If yes, I recommend you to upgrade it to Windows Server 2012 R2 in GUI
mode to see if the issue persists. If it succeed and you want to run in server core, you can just remove the graphical shell and convert your Windows Server 2012 R2 to Server Core.
Best regards,
Susie
Thanks for replying Susie. The 2008 R2 software is the one provided by Microsoft for Action Pack subscribers, so I'm assuming it's not retail. That's another thing, I think I should be installing the GUI as my 2008 has a GUI, not just the server core. For some
reason I missed that and clicked on the server core only install!

I updated my ipad with the IOS 6 but now the itunes in my computer (itunes 10.6.1) doesn´t recognizes it and I can´t upgrade to the last itunes because my computer has OS 10.5.8. Any ideas? Is there a way to download the itunes 10.6.3?

Please Help! Since I upgrade the ipad with the IOS6 I haven´t been able to sync the ipad with the computer. When I connect the two objects a popup itunes text box appears saying that in order to recognize the ipad I need itunes 10.6.3 or later. But I can´t find that version to download, I just find the latest version of itunes, 10.7, and for that one my computer doesn´t meets the operating system requirements.

If your iMac is an Intel CPU model, you can upgrade the OS to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Then use software update to update 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10,6.8.
Then you can run the latest iTunes to sync your iPad running iOS 6
You can purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard by calling Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Ask for retail software sales and purchase a copy of 10.6 for $19.99 plus shipping.

I CAN'T upgrade uninstall or install iTunes...Help?

Every time I try to upgrade iTunes to 9.2 or I try to uninstall iTunes or download it and install it again it shows a error message saying that itunes.msi is missing so i can't do it and neither I can run iTunes because it shows an error i got my iPhone and i really want to upgrade to the new software.
Can anybody help me please????

Every time I try to upgrade iTunes to 9.2 or I try to uninstall iTunes or download it and install it again it shows a error message saying that itunes.msi is missing
These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for *at least version 3.0* of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 9.2 again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Can't upgrade to 10.2?

So I was trying to update my iphone to 4.2 and it won't let me. Turns out I need the newest version of iTunes. I try to download it and it says that my version is the current version.
After a bit of research, I find that you can't upgrade any further with iTunes unless you have the newest OS? So does that mean I won't be able to update my phone at all?

It means you need to get either Mac OS X 10.5 or Mac OS X 10.6 before you can install iTunes 10.1, and thus iOS 4.2. In other words, it's going to cost you to upgrade you computer's operating system before you can update your iPhone.

Can't Update to 3.1 - iTunes cannot contact iPhone server

I cannot update my iPhone 3G to 3.1 because "iTunes could not contact. . .iPhone server because you are not connected to the internet". iTunes is version 9. For all other purposes I am "connected to the internet". I can contact and download from the iTunes store, I can surf using my browser,I just cannot get to the iPhone update because of this error! I have tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, no help. The phone works fine.

When I plugged my iPhone 3G into my computer today and got the message about the 3.1 update, I just clicked on the update button... willy nilly. How silly!
I got a message on the computer that the upgrade could not be completed because of a problem; my iPhone had the iTunes icon with the usb symbol on its screen.
Clearly, I am not the only one to do this today!
So here's what I did:
I looked up some troubleshooting tips and realized that I had NOT upgraded to iTunes 9 FIRST.
So I did that, and when done, I plugged my phone back in to the computer. I had to go through the entire restore process, which first loads the software and prefs that the phone shipped with. Then I restored my most recent backup, which was, unfortunately, a few days old.
It took quite a while, but it seems to work fine now, though a little slow on a couple of UTube videos. That could just be the videos.
I have a call in to Apple because I need to find out how to download two apps I'd bought over the last 2 days that had not been backed up. (I thought iTunes would have automatically backed the phone up before upgrading, but apparently, it did not.)
If you had a similar situation (not first updating iTunes) I hope my experience helps you!

Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

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?

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.

Try this as a first step; 
Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"''''' 
and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"''''' 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
While you are in safe mode;
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
