Error installing/uninstalling itunes help please

hello,
got the latest itunes, and recently i had some hd troubles, so i had to restore my system from acronis (restored the partition using a backup i created).
i try starting itunes and it doesn't want to work. i try installing/uninstalling and it doesn't want to work either.
i get this message:
"The folder path "My Pictures" contains an invalid character."
i tried restoring 'My documents' to it's original and default locations, but i can't seem to get itunes to run.
any1 know how to fix this ? thanks.

It's a simple fix and doesn't involve reinstalling anything.
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libxml2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

  • Error Installing/Uninstalling iTunes - Can't create a temp file

    I have tried to upgrade to 8.0.2 and I am having some problems. I have tried to do this several times (after reboots, etc...etc..) and i keep getting a message that says itunes cannot create a temp file that it needs to finish the installation process. I have actually tried to uninstall itunes and i get the same message.... now when i open it - i get an error message that itunes cannot access cd information from the net and that i have to reinstall itunes to fix the problem. Any thoughts?

    Which version of PSE you are on?
    Please try the troubleshooting steps mentioned here : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408940.html
    As a first step, you can try running Organizer directly from its exe in c:\program files or program files x86\adobe\elements organizer Ver\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe by right clicking it >> run as Admin. Now try taking slideshow output. Keep all background processes turned off from Edit >> Pref >> Media Analysis, while taking output.

  • Error code 2330. I cannot install or uninstall itunes  HELP PLEASE

    I've tried SEVERAL times to download & update my itunes and keep getting error code 2330.  As suggested in other Q&A's, I've run disc check to clean the hard drive, but that's as far as my knowledge goes. I can neither install or delete itunes. What can I do ?  There must be a fix, how do I find it ?

    You might need to run the Windows installer cleanup utility....start the troubleshooter for assistance at the following link:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651/

  • Installing​/Uninstall​ing HELP please

    Hi,

    My immediate problem is last night I downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1 I then tried to
    uninstall/remove my existing Blackberry Desktop Software 4.2.1 but I can't? I go
    through the motions, 3 screens and the last says remove. I click this then get a
    prompt saying:-
    Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file
    C:\WINDOWS\Installer\BlackBerryDesktopSoftware.msi I then have to click cancel,
    it rolls back then I have to click finish & the Wizard closes???
    I now have 2 versions of the software installed 4.2.1 & 6.1 !!
    I'm trying to remove through add remove programs as that is the prompt I get. I

    Can anyone advise please??
    Thanks,

    Dear all,
    this is my 3rd day that I spent in front of my computer and my mind start cracking.
    Firstly here is my computer config:
    win7 ultimate 
    service pack 1
    always "run as administrator".
    I had bold 9000 (OS5 - BIS) and and was using/syncing with desktop manger v5.0.1 without any problem over 2year.
    3 days ago bought a new bold 9788(OS6 - BIS) and my nightmares started.
    Firstly, existed DM start to crashing when I connect my phone. So I downloaded from blackberry web site v6.1version.
    I read necessary forums before installing and made clean uninstall for previous DM as per stated ArticleID: KB02206
    plus as a medium tech savvy I run registry cleaner program to clean leftovers as I did for my all unistalls. so far noany problem about uninstall process.
    when i run the installer installation starts but afterwhile it comes error 1316(a network error occured while attempting to read from the file C:\windows\installer\blackberry desktop software.msi) and installation stops androlling back process. 
    after that i read all the forums related 1316 error but as now no any solutions. I can't install this software to mycomputer.
    here is the list of the procedures i followed so far, but i would like to remind after each installation attempt, Iuninstalled together with complete uncleaning process including with registires and all "research in motions"folders that created during installations and countless reboots.
    here is the folders I deleted each time:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\research in motions
    C:\ProgramData\research in motions
    C:\Program Files\research in motions
    in some forum manetioned another folder might be created under C:\users\****\appdata\roaming\ -but I dont found any RIM file or folder in this section.
    here is the resolutions that i followed so far.
    1.) all 4 resolutions explained in Article ID: KB04272
    2.) used windows installer clean up app. for uninstall.
    3.) i placed "desktop software.msi file inside of the C:\windows\installer folder.
    4.) i run setup.exe file from extracted zip file.
    5.) deleted registries from registry editor by searching ne by one.
    6.) registered alt.dll for re-installs.
    as I can see from the forum pages error 1316 is problem for who want to uninstall software. i just want to install latest desktop software and use my new phone and sync my contacts.
    can you please check and let me know if you have any experience how to overcome about this problem ?
    many thanks in advance.

    Many thanks.
    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 suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    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.)

    getting error message 2324 when downloading the latest update of itunes help please.
    Will not let me uninstall itunes from my computer, gives me the message that I don't have access need administrator. ( I am the only user of this computer)
    Thank you

    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.

  • Error trying to install/uninstall iTunes

    I recently got the new iPod 5th gen and I need to update my iTunes in order to put my music on it.
    However, when I go to install/uninstall iTunes the same error message comes up saying:
    And upon trying again/browsing:
    I've tried various step by step walkthrough's off of the internet but none of them are doing anything.

    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.

  • "There were errors installing the software. Please try again"

    I have decided to sell my iMac and G4 iBook, in order to buy a Macbook Pro. I have two people interested, but only if both computers are formatted and as they were when they left the factory.
    I erased all my files from both computers, leaving just the system files. I placed the instalation disk for OS X into my iMac (The disk that came with it) and selected instal. I chose the option to delete the current settings and instal a fresh version of OS X.
    I hope that makes sense so far.
    Anyway after a while, disk 1 had finished, and I was told to insert disk 2. I inserted disk 2, only for half way through the instal process, to be greeted by "There were errors installing the software. Please try again". I have now tried 14 times. I have officially given up.
    I have searched these forums for an answer, but it seems as though other people have done things such as, installing other software, or hardware, and that is the cause of the problem. However I have done none of the above. I have tried searching the Mac Support pages, with no luck.
    Can anyone help?

    I suggest you do the following:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Now try installing OS X. If you still have a problem then it's possible the hard drive is bad or the installer discs are damaged (or possibly just dirty and need a gentle cleaning) or there's a problem with the optical drive.
