Cannot get itunes+quicktime update to install

The main problem is quicktime because everytime i try to install it, it keeps telling me that it cant find my F:\ drive. i don't have one and i never did. anytime i plug in a external drive it reads as an H:\ or an I:\. i tried uninstall the quicktime i had right now and install the new one it still wouldnt work. and now the quicktime is gone i cant even get on itunes.

Excellent news.
im not going to have to plug in this drive every time i need to update, am i?
(Short answer) You should be fine next time.
(Long answer) The issue happens because there's an entry for the existing version of iTunes in the installation database (for an iTunes file or registry entry) that references the drive that isn't there, and the fact that there's no drive there causes the Windows Installer Service to get excessively confused. But when we put the drive there and do the update, that gets rid of the mucked-up entries in the database. So the next time you do an update, fingers crossed none of the new entries in the database should be pointing at the F, and there shouldn't be any issues on the next install if the F doesn't happen to be there.

Hi gnaksung,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you're trying to update iTunes 10 on your Mac, but the update options are not working.
You may find the troubleshooting tips and download method in this article helpful with updating iTunes:

I cannot get Itunes to update my IPod. I am at a loss

I am a seasoned IPod user. I just transitioned to a new PC and cannot get Itunes to update my Nano IPod. I have downloaded new versions of ITunes and updated my IPod software. ITunes sees the IPod but does not transfer any songs or playlists---help

What the user before me is trying to say pretty quickly is, Be sure that the settings in iTunes are set to update your iPod.
1) Plug in your ipod
2) Click the button with the ipod on it, about fourth from the right at the bottom (bottom right corner)
3) Manual (choice 3) is probably selected, Select automatically update all songs instead (choice 1).
Does this help? If not, let me know.

Cannot get iTunes 12.0 to install with OS 10.10

i have 2009 iMac with 4GB memory 3.06ghz intel core 2 duo. i have updated OS to Yosemite two day ago. i cannot get iTunes 12 to install. the dmg downloads and i go through the process of installation and get the install completed successfully. cannot find iTunes anywhere on computer i have tried restarting after install and still no iTunes

You can find iTunes in three places:
In the Dock, between FaceTime and iBooks icons.
In Launchpad: open it and you will find the iTunes icon.
In Finder: open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and open iTunes.
Note that iTunes may show up with the old icon the first time you open it, but it will be updated. Note that the latest iTunes version is 12.0.1, so if you do not have this version, open the Mac App Store, go to Updates and install the most recent version

Cannot get Itunes 8 64-bit installed on Vista

I'm having a heck of a time trying to install itunes. I recently got Vista 64 and I have an ipod shuffle I would like to sync up with my computer but Itunes 64-bit is not installing. It loads up the install progress bar but it instantly says it's finished installing, but nothing gets installed. This might be because I first accidetntally installed the 32 bit version of itunes, but I uninstalled it when I realized I needed the 64 bit version. The 32 bit version didn't work either. But I don't understand why the 64 bit version is not installing. I tried clearing out the temp folder but I'm just wondering if anyone else is having this problem because it seems like it works for everyone else. Please help, thanks.

Thanks, I got it working... I deleted the temp files, restarted, and tried installing itunes, but at first it did the same thing, it skipped the installation and said it was finished. Then I remembered I read somewhere someone said try renaming the default directory so I renamed it to apple/intunes/ and tried installing and guess what, it worked fine! I have no idea why the directory name would be screwing up the install but I'm pretty sure that's what the problem was because that was the only thing that fixed it. Anyways, I'm happy now, itunes is working. Now I just need a Macbook pro with 8 gigs of ram and I'll be set.

Cannot get my software updates to install

When I click on Software Update, my computer finds the updates successfully, but it goes straight to asking me to restart in order to finish the installation. I have no other option but to restart, but when I do, the installation was not done...???
How can I get my computer to update and then also be able to check to make sure it did?

Macbook Pro, IOS Version 10.6.8
All updates (specifically the Java). The additional issue is that my I=tunes store is no longer showing up. I think it may be related to my software updates.
I can click on Software Update, and it checks the updates successfully. I can put in my password and agree to the installation, but it immediately says for me to restart to finish installation, so I do so, but the installation never happens.

No function after iTunes/Quicktime update

After restarting my G4 Power Mac when the iTunes/Quicktime update had installed, my screen went to blue and froze. I did a hard reboot and now any program I open quits within seconds and I can't open any of my folders! When I try to open something, everything but the dock (toolbar and desktop icons) disappears and come back in a few seconds. Is this an iTunes issue or is there something else going on?

Try booting in Safe Mode. Hold down the Shift key during startup. If that doesn't do it, try holding down the X key during startup. If that doesn't start it up, I think you need to post over in the forum that applies to your particular machine (iBook, MacBook, iMac, etc.) The pros over there might be able to help. Don't hesitate to post back if you have more questions.

I cannot get iTunes or QuickTime to install. I receive an "access denied" error even after uninstalling both completely.

I cannot get iTunes to install on my Windows 7 PC. I have uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime completely, and downloaded the newest versions. On installation, I receive an "access denied" error for both. I am on an administrator account, run as administrator, deleted my temp folder, everything. I cannot get either to install. Any suggestions? Very frustrating.

I am am seeing exactly the same scenario being played out as phitzdisco, on a Dell running Windows 7, and normally a very stable install at that. Steps followed
Uninstalled all the software correctly, following instructions, in the Program & program(x86) folders
Rebooted
Cleaned out the \appdata\local\temp directory
Download the latest iTunes
Run as user and a second time through after repeating the steps above as administrator

Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/. If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and I don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to be sure that it will work on your first try, use internet explorer when you download itunes. Hope this helps...

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

The problem is with version 10.4.1. I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work. The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me. Here was their list of steps:
Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
2. Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
     a. iTunes
     b. QuickTime
     c. Apple Software Update
     d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
     e. Bonjour
     f. Apple Appllcation Support
3. Reboot PC
4. Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes. To correct this:
5. Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
6. Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
7. Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
8. Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date. It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
9. Reboot PC

Try b noir's post Standalone Apple Application Support install to see if that can repair the problem or provide futher information, otherwise try reinstalling again as shown in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old. When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade. Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit. That's the dirference.

What happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but no help

plz help

If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.
