Cannot upgrade or delete existing versions of iTunes and apple software

I keep getting an error message:
Error getting file security:
C:\ProgramData\3BE82C4-E596-4e99-A191-52C6199EBF69\GetLastError:5
I cannot upgrade or delete existing versions - the Apple software installer seems to be the problem, but I can't find the file above and delete or uninstall it. I've tried uninstaller programs.
Can anyone help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
I would try manually deleting the folder: C:\ProgramData\34BE82C4-E596-4e99-A191-52C6199EBF69

I have just tried to upgrade to the latest version of itunes, and my ipad was connected to my computer at the time. The upgrade crashed part way through. I now cannot start itunes as it says MSVCR80.dll is missing. Anyone got any ideas?

I was upgrading to the latest version of itunes, and my new ipad mini was connected to my computer at the same time, try to sync for the first time. The upgrade crashed part way through, and now itunes won't load and I get an error message saying MSVCR80.dll is missing. How do I do about reinstalling this file?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I've been working at the same problem for hours now and it's really driving me crazy so any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

Resolve communication issues
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
Common errors: 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software", or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build".

HT3951 I purchased a movie on the AppleTV 2 but it is not showing up in iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I sync? (have lastest version of iTunes and ATV2 software)

Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my music library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not help because they are all listed as added on 12/12/2011.

Library Duplicated
I just updated to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not work, because every track is listed as added on 12/12/2011 even though this happened today 12/19/2011.

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and can no longer sync

Worked fine before upgraded of iTunesto the latest version now cannot sync iPod touch. error message is that will be wiped and replaced by library which is too big for the device so I have to wipe it and reinstall manually which takes at least four hours. Cannot backup as not able to in iTunes and do not haveiCloud. Use win7

Again:
You said: " Cannot backup as not able to in iTunes" What happens when you try to backup?
What are you doing when you get this message: "I have followed the solution but am not given the choice to select the device."?
What do you mean by: "The dates and times on both match."?
You are not telling use what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

In trying to update itunes to version 10.7 I get messages that older versions of "Bonjour" and "Apple Software update" cannot be removed and so the update fails. Itunes works well on my old ipod nano but not on my new ipod touch? Any ideas

Any ideas as to how I can update an older version of iTunes to at least version 10.7 given the problems I'm having with "bonjour" and the "software update"?

(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 aCode 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 Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

Can I upgrade to the latest version of iTunes and iPod???

Over the past couple of months I have been reading horror stories of people who went from iTunes 6.- to 7 and after upgrading and proceeding to get the latest version of firmware for iPod their iPod has become a paperweight. Scrambled displays, backward text, etc. I am on a Mac system and have a 30 gig 5th generation iPod and have put off upgrading because I am afraid of losing my iPod. Can somebody tell me if it is safe to upgrade and if all the bugs have been ironed out? Secondly, can somebody tell me if it is possible to get the latest iPod firmware as a downloadable stand-alone installer? I still have a dial-up connection and cannot wait hours and tie up my line upgrading my iPod through iTunes. I would prefer to download the upgrades on a machine with a high-speed connection and burn them to CD and then install on my machine from that CD. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Thanks so much for any input.

Hi Iss9243,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You've already tried some great troubleshooting steps, but the article below gives you quite a few more for this issue. Hope it helps ....
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Cheers,

The iphone cannot by synced with this version of Itunes because its software is too old-

with 10,5 beta4 and ios5 beta
the sync button is not active can`t make sync.
but i see all my apps and music.

The requirement for the latest iTunes (ver 10.7) is an operating system of Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). You will have to purchase Snow Leopard, available at 1-800-MY-APPLE for $19.99. You will not be able to get it using the Software Update utility. It is also not available as downloadable content like Lion and Mountain Lion. You can check stores like Best Buy and Wal-Mart, I know it is NOT available at Apple Retail Stores. Hope this helps.

Having issues with new version of iTunes and my iPod...

I recently upgraded to the newest version of iTunes, and now I can't view my iPod's songs or add songs to my iPod through iTunes. Whenever I click on my iPod, iTunes freezes up and I have to close it. In fact, sometimes iTunes freezes up as I'm playing songs.
Any help with this?
Windows XP

download, install, and run the latest iPod updater. Even if it does not contain new versions for your model, it will re-install a fresh copy of the software and might shake loose anything that has become stuck.
If you have all your music on the computer (and you should for occasions just like this), use the "restore" option, it will wipe the hard drive of the iPod, but helps out the most.
