Error message downloading iTunes 8 to XP

Recently I got an iPod touch and needed to update my iTunes on my computer so it would be compatible with my iPod. When I tried to update my iTunes to the latest version however, an error message popped up halfway through the installation that said: “Could not write value Content Type key /software/classes/.aif. Verify that you have efficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.”
Is there anyone who can tell me how to fix this or what the message even means?
Thanks,

Cyskull,
lareachme has the right idea. If you are running any kind of internet security suite or commercial antivirus programs, you are better off disabling your virus protection and firewall when downloading updates from Apple.

  • Error message downloading iTunes

    When I try to update iTunes, I get the message:
    Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.050727.053",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a 1e18e3b",processorArchitecture='amd64"
    HRESULT: 0x80073712
    How do I solve this?!

    HRESULT: 0x80073712
    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. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80073712, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • I get an error message downloading itunes and it wont intall. Any ideas?

    When I try to download the itunes program, it tells me my windows installer isn't installed correctly or I'm in Safe Mode.  Neither is true.  I haven't had any trouble at all with installing other programs.  Anybody have a solution?

    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install

    how do i get itunes to completely install??

    a pop up error message says itunes couldnt be configured
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
    Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
    Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

  • I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.

    Thank you.

    Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
    I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
    Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
    It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
    Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
    Best wishes and a Happy New Year!

  • I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

    I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Can anyone help me? The iTunes update corrupted my program. I uninstalled, and then reinstalled iTunes; only to find an error message about iTunes Helper. After several fruitless, repeat attempts, I am at a loss. Please help-

    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.)

  • Always receiving error when downloading itunes 8.0.2

    I recently purchased an ipod nano and now need to upgrade to itunes 8.0.2 (I'm on 7.6 right now). However, every time I attempt to download, the download fails and I receive the message "error occurred, please try installing again". I have tried about six times now, however I get the exact same message every time. I have a mac mini with OS 10.4.11. According to the requirements page, everything should work. Any ideas?

    I am running the same version of OS X and I get the same error message on iTunes 8.02. I also bought and cannot install iWork 08. Sure would like to know what the issue is if you find out.

  • Error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).

    I opened iTunes and downloaded 2 songs from http://www.reverbnation.com. Shortly after I started getting this error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54). Anyone dealt with this before?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
