Cannot upgrade iTunes or Aperture - suggestions please

I find I cannot install the latest upgrades for iTunes (7.3) or Aperture (1.5.3).
iTunes behaves as though all is well throughout - it simply does not actually update and keeps pointing me to the update I have already used. Aperture (which is my key application). presently running 1.5.2 happily trashes any attempt to install the update to 1.5.3 by anouncing that the update requires Aperture 1.0 to be present. I have never had any problems updating either in the past - Aperture came as the 1.5 demo, which I purchased and then upgraded to 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 without any issues.
This problem has occurred under OSX 10.4.9 and 10.4.10. I have tried repairing and verifying disk permissions etc.
iMac 24 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Have you moved or deleted the /Library/Receipts/ folder or its contents? If not, locate the receipt(s) for Aperture and drag them out of the Receipts folder. You can put them in the Trash (but don't empty) or on the Desktop. Then try the updater again.
Are you using Software Update? If so try downloading the standalone updater directly from Apple (http://www.apple.com/downloads/).
Check the Aperture forum also for possible help.

Still cannot upgrade iTunes

This is an update to an earlier question I had posted.
I desperately need help!
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with Windows Vista 32-bit and a 2nd generation iPod touch running iOS 3.1.3 (7E18). However, I would, obviously, like to upgrade to the latest iPhone OS.
The problem? I can't.
Ever since iTunes 9 came out, I have been unable to successfully upgrade iTunes. I can only get up to version 8.2.1 to work on my computer. The install will appear to go fine, but I'll get various errors and even after getting a "iTunes was successfully installed" finish window, get an error saying that iTunes cannot open because Apple Application Support was not found, even though Apple Application Support installs as part of the iTunes install for iTunes 9 and higher. I also get an error trying to update via Apple Software Update.
I have literally tried every single thing I can think of or find online, including the "trouble installing iTunes" troubleshooting instructions on Apple's website. I am not sure I can take this to Apple for repairs because my iPod is out of warranty. Plus I have a PC, not a Mac. I did call a nearby Apple Store to see if I could bring it in, only to be told they don't work on PCs. The guy then asked what my issue was, and I told him. He told me to try Googling it, which of course I have already done -- many, many times.
To prove my claim is real, I have been making screenshots of all my errors. Here they are:
When installing iTunes from the website or from a prompt within my current iTunes version, after a bit I tend to get this error:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/iTunes%20Upgrade%20Error%20Screens hots/ituneserror1.png
I click ok, the install continues, and then on occasion I have gotten this error:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/iTunes%20Upgrade%20Error%20Screens hots/ituneserror2.png
I click out of it, the install continues, and then when it's almost to the end, it tends to stall:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/iTunes%20Upgrade%20Error%20Screens hots/itunesstall2.png
Once recently while it was stalled, I got this error:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/iTunes%20Upgrade%20Error%20Screens hots/applemobiledeviceerror.png
(I should mention, in relation to this error, that I am the only user of the computer on which this is occurring, and I do have admin privileges on it).
Yet after all that, I still get this happy screen:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/iTunes%20Upgrade%20Error%20Screens hots/itunescongratsinstalled.png
I click "Finish," only to get these errors:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/iTunes%20Upgrade%20Error%20Screens hots/ituneserror3.png
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/iTunes%20Upgrade%20Error%20Screens hots/ituneserror4.png
As I've said, I've tried everything. Someone suggested I install QuickTime separately, which I did recently, only to get this error:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/iTunes%20Upgrade%20Error%20Screens hots/quicktimeerror.png
And as I said before, trying to do the update via Apple Software Update doesn't help either:

What should I do???

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up +en passant.+
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. Do they fail to install? If so, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you?

Cannot upgrade itunes v 10.5 to 10.7 on a PC due to Bonjour error, what can I do?

I have tried to upgrade itunes 10.5 to 10.7 on my PC but keep on getting "older version of Bonjour cannot be removed". I have tried to locate msicuu2.exe which was suggested might help but I understand that microsoft has withdrawn it as it conflicts with office 2007, which I have. Anyway I was unable to find it anywhere.
The current version of iTunes 10.5 operates with my iPod Classic but not with my iPhone 4s whose software v6 requires a later version of iTunes.
Can anyone help?

Hi b noir
I have followed your suggestion and this time the itunes installed to give me 10.7. However on restarting the computer the error message from AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found "The Procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll."
Is this likely to cause any problems or can it be ignored? What do you think?
Anyway Itunes appears to load OK. I have still to try syncing the iPod and the iPhone. It was the latter that required the upgrade.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

Hi Colourdoodles,
Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.
Regards,
Ian

Cannot install Itunes 8 on windows - please help

I had an issue with Itunes re-installing each time I would start Itunes, so I deleted off computer via add/delete feature on windows.
I also deleted Bonjour and everything apple so I could start again.
Now trying to install from scratch the Itunes 801 it now states "Service (Bonjour Service) failed to start. verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services."
I have tried to install Bonjour again but there is an issue with that too.
I just want to play some music, any suggestions?
Windows XP home premium edition

I get a very similar error message and cannot install version 8
Any suggestions as to what can be done ?

I just downloaded the latest itunes update and I cannot open Itunes. Any suggestions?

I just downloaded the latest itunes update and I cannot open Itunes on my Imac. Any suggestions? I have OS 10.6.8

Hello, I am quite new on these forums, and mainy joined because have problems with latest update of iTunes, which seems to have caused problems of one kind or another for various people. I think basically people are now waiting for a 'patch' from Apple to fix things.

I am unable to upgrade iTunes in Windows XP, please advise

I attempt to upgrade ITunes on my PC and I never receive the exe file on my desktop I need to do the upgrade. Please advise. Thanks.

There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded. As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (32-bit) - itunessetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" reference does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.

Cannot open iTunes or Aperture after "Migrating" from old Mac

I migrated from an old "Black" MacBook to a new Aluminum MacBook using Migration Assistant. Now both iTunes and Aperture will not open on the new MacBook because they cannot open up their respective libraries. The following message appears:
"The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
"The Aperture Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
I did run into an issue when migrating when I used the same account name on the new computer as the old. It asked me to rename the old account which I did by appending with the number 1. The Migration Assistant put all the files into a new folder with the renamed account under "users". Not only this, all the folders and files lacked permissions for the new computer. I had to manually "Get Info" and add permissions for the new account on the new computer.

Go to /Music/ and get info on the iTunes folder.
Go to the *Ownership & Permissions* and set *You can* to *Read & Write*.
Also, click on *Apply to enclosed items*.
Do the same for the Aperature folder wherever it is located.

Cannot upgrade ITunes on my PC at ALL

Hello. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that I purchased in August 2008 and I own an iPod touch 2nd generation that I bought in January 2008. I was able to use iTunes on this laptop and with this device fine until (some time ago) I tried to upgrade to iTunes 9 via Apple Software Update. However, something always went wrong with the update and iTunes could never open if upgraded even if it supposedly installed correctly. I eventually had to downgrade to 8.2.1, downloading this downgrade from a third-party site, to get iTunes to be functional at all.
I have since repeatedly tried to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, first 9, then the various upgrades of 9, and finally now to version 10. However, I still cannot get it to install properly! Here is what happened when I tried to install it today, with screencaps I made via Print Screen.
At first, the install seemed to be running normal. Then, this error popped up:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/ituneserror1.png
I clicked OK and it rolled back whatever action was then happening and went on its merry way.
As it got towards the end, the install stalled for some time, looking like so:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/itunesstall.png
A little later, a "Windows Installer has closed" error popped up, prompted by Data Execution Protection:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/ituneserror2.png
I clicked it away and the install continued. Long story short, the install finished and I was greeted by this happy window:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/itunescongratsinstalled.png
However, when I clicked "Finish," this error came up:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Dani17/ituneserror3.png
Now, Apple Application Support is supposed to install as part of the iTunes installation, yes? So how could it be missing?!
Anyway, this explanation more or less displays what happens to me every time I try to install and/or upgrade iTunes. I have tried basically any method I can find for fixing this, and nothing has worked! Help!!!!

Go to start -> control panel -> programs and features -> scroll down to iTunes -> highlight iTunes -> click uninstall -> reboot PC -> go to http://www.apple.com/iTunes -> download and install iTunes 10...
I had this exact same issue today on one of the computers I was working on at work...

Cannot upgrade Itunes and Quicktime on my PC

I cannot upgrade on my PC. Everytime I try there is an error on Quicktime. I have tried to uninstall but the programs are protected and will not let me. I get and error message saying it cannot find a certain file. any suggestions? I need help. I am close to wiping out my hard drive and starting over.

+I get and error message saying it cannot find a certain file.+
What's the *full and precise* text of that message? (That might be of some assistance with determining what's going on.) Include error message numbers if you're getting any.

Question about TC, Apple TV and iTunes. Thoughts/suggestions please :)

Hi guys,
I picked up a TC and Apple TV last weekend, and have finally got them both working through my Netgear 834G modem/router.
I have currently got iTunes library setup on my Macbook Pro, but would like to move this onto the TC to free up space on my laptop. How do I go about doing this? Is it literally just a matter of copying/moving the itunes music folder onto the TC?
When the files are sat on the TC will I still be able to synch the apple TV by pointing it at the Macbook Pro library which in turns does not contain any physical files but points to the TC music folder?
Also, will I be able to point my partner's PC with iTunes installed to the same library to allow it to stream from there?
I don't know the best way of doing this and would like some thoughts and suggestions please. I basically want the files on the TC, the apple TV synching with it, the ability to play the music in the study (where my partners PC is) and also in the future, the ability to play music in the bedroom & dining room. Could I do this via airtunes and will I need an airport express to do this?
Suggestions/thoughts etc very much appreciated.
Thanks!

I am interested in the iPhoto support as well. Are you able to zoom in and see photos in their native resolution- or is ATV downconverting them for 720P support. I would imagine that it must be doing something on the backend to shrink photos or else the wifi transfer would take a long time. Maybe the 8GB of cache is being used to store thumnails on the fly? Are you able to quickly move from photo to photo or is there a lag?
Can't wait for this to hit Canada!

Updating both iPad1 and iPhone 4: on iPhone I get an error 11 and on iPad "cannot finish update." Any suggestions please!

When I am updating to OS5: on my iPhone - error 5 and on my iPad1 - "cannot finish update." Any suggestions?

Or the OP could try actually following Apple's documentation for troubleshooting and solving this very simple problem instead of uninstalling, reinstalling, installing old versions of software, etc...
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
