Cannot update itunes

Often when I open itunes I get an error message saying that it cannot be opened because the library was created by a newer version of itunes. When I try to update itunes, even when I know there are updates available, the system updater doesn't find any. I've always been able to recover my library, but it keeps happening, and usually I wind up going to Apple's site and downloading the newest version that way. Does anyone know why this might be happening or what I can do to fix it?
My laptop is about two years old and it seems to be getting more frequent as time goes on.

Remove from HD>Library>Receipts>iTunesX.pkg to the trash.
Then try to update.

Did you attempt to update with Software Update? Try this instead: download the combo updater here:

Once downloaded, unplug all peripherals except keyboard and mouse
Verify disk as outlined previously
install update
repair permissions (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)
restart Mac
run Software Update
if there are many updates available, install a few at a time
repair permissions after the install
restart Mac

Are you using 64-bit Windows? It sounds like you're trying to download the iTunes for 64-bit Windows.

(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?

TS1394 how can i get upgrade the ios x v 10.5.8? I purchased an iphone 5 but cannot connect with my macbook 5. I cannot update itune 11 as my ios is not up to date

how can i get upgrade the ios x v 10.5.8? I purchased an iphone 5 but cannot connect with my macbook 5. I cannot update itune 11 as my ios is not up to date

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

Cannot update itunes in windows XP

Cannot update itunes in windows XP, a message appears about a installation file not available

perfect, thanks.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
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 another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Solved. Not sure what I finally clicked on on Apple.com but found iTunes 10.6.3 and was able to download that for free and now my iPod can sync.

Cannot update Itunes. Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed

Trying to update Itunes, but dowload stops stating 'Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed' ' Ask your Technical support group'
I am computer stupid and do not understand any of this. Is there a simple way to overcome this?

Mac App Store cannot update itunes, OS and remote desktop; keep saying it is updated and yet ask it ask you to update as in fact it is not updated

I search my problem on web and got no solution.
1) mac app store shows some updates needed. e.g. itunes, remote desktop.
2) I clicked "update", and it changes to "installed" within seconds and then shows I have installed the update.
3) But the problem is that the software is NOT updated and the "installed icon" changes back to "update" immediately.
4) the picture below shows what happened.
5) As you can see, the remote desktop is updated twice on Mar 3 and is version 3.8.2 v1.1 but the mac app store prompt me to update it.
6) I cannot update the new version of MAC OS too.
Solution:
1) Restart app or OS. >> Failed.
2) Rebuild spotlight >> Failed.
3) Genius bar >> No hope as the Genius bar is fully booked all the time (rumors that people are selling the timeslots, guess where am I?).
Can any one help me on that.
Thanks a lot.

I tried the debug mode in mac app store too >> Fail.
The first time I feel disapointing from apple software.

Cannot update iTunes due to old Bonjour

I cannot update my iTunes.
When running the install, I fail to uninstall the old Bonjour(not Bonjour Printing), and the Bonjour version is 2.0.1.2.
I tried to uninstall it with the windows' uninstaller, and the uninstaller report that the pathway of the .msi is not availible, which is: C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP310.TMP\ . I never touch these type of file, the folder or file really not there.
How can I uninstall the Bonjour, so I can get my iTunes update successfully?

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 BonJour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 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.)

Cannot update iTunes after upgrading to Lion

After installing Lion on two machines - a new MacBook Pro and a year old iMac - I get a 'The update “iTunes” can’t be installed' 'An unexpected error has occurred'. When trying to update iTunes. The error happens during the Cleaning Up step.

I also have this exact same problem.
I am afraid to remove my current version of iTunes in order to install the new one because I feel I won't be able to reinstall it again if anything goes wrong.
