Downloading itunes update fails

I have an old version of itunes which needs updating so that I can use my new nano ipod.
When I try download the new version through itunes it keeps crashing half way saying the file was corrupted. When I download the update online, I cannot open the file and it states that it is not a valid win32 application.
I have made sure that I am downloading the correct version for my OS. I'm not sure what else to do??

When I try download the new version through itunes it keeps crashing half way saying the file was corrupted. When I download the update online, I cannot open the file and it states that it is not a valid win32 application.
The installers are getting damaged during the download to the PC, brandon.
What web browser were you using for the download? Does it make a difference if you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa)?

TS1424 when downloading itunes update it fails because it can't find "iTunes.msi"

when downloading itunes update it fails because it can't find "iTunes.msi" whaat can I do please?

(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?

ITunes update failed.

Yesterday an iTunes update failed on my Windows PC.
Now I can't start iTunes, a box comes up saying MSVC80dll is missing.
Re-installing fails as well.

uninstall all the apple application S/w like Quicktime, Bonjour,
apple Device Support, Apple Auto update, Itunes etc from your pc,
Reboot it
Now download a fresh itunes from apple and try installing

If you are having Problem in uninstalling any of the apple application
try 'revo uninstaller' and uninstall all the apple applications

HT201210 Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run

Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Repeated failures trying to download iTunes update 10.5.1.42 for WinXP

I have failed 4-times trying to download iTunes update 10.5.1.42 for WinXp. What is causing the installer failure? I have maintained the Windows XP system files and Windows Installer, along with iTunes versions until now. The install process message says "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE Windows Installer Package. A PROGRAM RUN AS PART OF THE SETUP DID NOT FINISH AS EXPECTED. CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR."
This is the first time I have had a problem updating iTunes on my XP desktop.

After reviewing other Download related problems, one reply suggested using the REPAIR feature from Window Control Panel, list of Software Installed. I repaired 3 Apple software files and iTunes main file. Took about 10-12 minutes. Then reran "Check for updates" from iTunes/Help menu. Surprised to find 1 program listed that didn't popup "before" I repaired the Apple files. New version of APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.1.3.127. Tryed to install but it hung up/stalled. Then tried again only used the DOWNLOAD option instead of install option. Then Manually "Ran" that file from my Apple/Apple Software Update folder. filenamed "APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE, type "Windows Installer Package" from Apple. It worked!!
Then Checked for updates from iTunes/Help, surprised to see (4) new files available. Safari 5.1.1; Mobile Control Panel 1.6.7; iTunes 10.5.1.42; and Quicktime 7.7.1. Installed all 4 and now iTunes 10.5+ runs great and my iCloud works, letting me catch up Downloads from the Apple/iTunes servers.
What a pain in the @$#!!!! and it only took 2.5 hours to get it all figured out with 6 total attempts to update to iTunes 10.5.1.42.
Ready for double Scotch rocks.....

Latest iTunes update fails, Uninstall / Re-Install solution fails

Hello All,
Katrina, b noir ....
Several days ago after the last iTunes update failed, crippling iTunes connection to the iTunes Store, I came to the support pages for answers.
I started following the step by step instructions to uninstall and re-install iTunes 10.4.1.10, first hitch...Bonjour refused to go completely leaving stubborn files behind, I had to download LSPFIX.exe to finally clean its folder
As instructed by the apple support article, orderly deleted all the other files and folders, used msicuu2.exe, restarted the PC, and using rar extracted the individual .MSIs to continue with standalone installations.
Got two new errors, Apple Application Support will not install due to "A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer" and,
Apple Mobile Device Support failed to install when the AMDS stalled and displayed a 1053 error,
Tried to start the AMDS service many times without luck, I read somewhere that NETframework service pack 1.1 had resolved that 1053 error in the past...I am logged as admin on a Windows XP machine
Most of what I did successfully was learned from reading the posts and answers to/from other members.
I would really appreciate your assistance.
Thanks and best regards.

For some reason when I try to download iTunes from the Apple site the file is flagged as dangerous.
That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

I had a itune update fail, now I get an error message (windows error 2). what do I need to do?

I had an itune update fail. now I get an error message. "windows error 2". I can not open itunes!

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Automatic iTunes update fails because of Vista x64?

iTunes update fails via "Apple Software Update" on Vista x64, because the files that were downloaded are x86 and not x64! Is there a fix for this, or do we have to wait till an x64 version of "Apple Software Update" arrives?

As a workaround, you could try downloading the update direct from the Apple website:
Latest iTunes Installer
(The website should automatically detect if you've got an x64, and download the 64-bit Vista installer. It will be called "itunes64setup.exe".)

TS3258 I get error message -42408 when trying to download itunes update 11.0.2 and thus can not upgrade to latest version. What should I do?

I get error message -42408 when trying to download itunes update 11.0.2 and I therefore can not update to that latest version. What can I do?

Hey there davidgor2!
I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

Itunes update failed on 2 computers, couldn't find msvcr80.dll files.Now have no itunes at all

iTunes update failed on both computers. Couldn't find msvcr80.dll, now I have no iTunes at all. Is it iTunes or the computers?

I did NOT move the other folders (Album Artwork, Mobile Applications, Playlists, Previous iTunes Libraries) or files (iTunes Library, iTunes Library Extras, iTunes Library Genius, iTunes Music Library) that are located inside the Music/iTunes folders.
should be no problem. i'm doing this also.
Everything was working fine on both computers - Consolidated the library on the external drive and did the Change the location of the iTunes Media folder in Preferences on both computers, no problem.
However I added two movies and a few songs to my desktop Mac yesterday - all showed up and played fine after adding them - but when I plug the external drive into my laptop, the new additions don't appear in the library.
if you're purchasing content from the iTMS, you could use _*Home Sharing*_ to automatically add new content to all machines on your local network.
Am I right in guessing that it is because the iTunes Library file on the laptop isn't the same as the one on the desktop computer?
yes.
Is there a way to add them to the library listing on the laptop? If yes, is that something I need to do every time I connect the external drive to the laptop if I've added things from the desktop computer (I never add stuff on the laptop).
basically, yes. however, there's _*Home Sharing*_ and ... see below.
Should I have put the entire iTunes folder - files, folder and media - onto the external drive?
that's one possibility, however, only one Mac @ a time could access that library. there are other options:
*the easy way*
check out TuneRanger.

I researched the advice on the link provided by b noir as well as very similar advice from apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. It worked for me (for now).
Some things of note:
I did all of the things requested by the link I provided
My computer WOULD NOT uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. I had to manually remove the folder (also as instructed by the url)
I also uninstalled MobileMe. Was a little different than removing the other apps. Follow instructs provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2992
I did not uninstall iCloud
I have to admit it was a bit scary removing all those things. Is important to note that when re-installing Apple, follow steps to do so as Administrator (the right-click thingy and whatnot).
Hope this helps!

Installed iTunes on a 1TB drive designated H:. Bought a 3TB drive designated G:. Downloaded iTunes update. On "Run" command, it will not let me change the destination drive, so it registers an error, and will not update. Help

I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

Seems the base of the problem is the update installation does not change the libraries but the software wants to see them changed. So the user has to go clear out all software that shares the libraries and then install the full version so they are rebuilt properly.
