Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
Please someone help ...
Thanks.

Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

  • I am getting this error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to Firefox home. I have uninstalled add-ons, uninstaleed and reinstalled a fresh new firefox which did not help

    I am getting the following error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled add-ons , uninstalled Firefox and then installed a fresh version. Still have the problem.
    Thanks for the help

    That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Packages) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
    You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).

  • I am getting constantly the message: itunes store is not available. try again later

    Both in my Apple TV (Latest 1080 version) and my Macbook Pro I am getting constanlty the message "itunes store is not available. try again later"
    I have checked my network and it is working while this is happening so it should not be a problem related to my internet connection.
    I have also used without problem my three apple tv so it cannot be a firewall.
    This is happening randomly but more frequently.
    All software versions have been updated and problem persists

    I tried today turning OFF the Dolby Digital feature in the apple tv. testing......

    It is A Good Thing (tm) that you actually copied and pasted the entire error message. Some here seem to think "it doesn't work" is an actionable error message. However, for future reference, error messages are the result of something happening. They are far more meaningful if you were to also copy and paste the command that triggered the error.
    if yes can some one please guide me how I can create database...
    Easiest way is to use the utility 'dbca' (database configuration assistant).

    Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
    Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
    Drill down to your product and version.
    <b><i><u>BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION</u></i></b>
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
    Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of information is available there.
    Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
    Do the same with the Utilities manual.
    You don't have to read the above in depth. They are <b><i><u>reference</b></i></u> manuals. Just get familiar with <b><i><u>what</b></i></u> is there to <b><i><u>be</b></i></u> referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
    Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
    - Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
    - Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
    - Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
    - When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
    Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

  • Why do I get the error message "iTunes Match could not download because disconnected from network?  I'm connected to the internet during that time with Safari so am I not connected to the network?

    Why do I get the error message "iTunes Match could not be updated because you were disconnected from the network during processing."  I'm on the internet during all of this.  What disconnect is the message referring to?  Itunes is frozen now.  I keep clicking OK but it just comes back with no action.

    Hello FredJay,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    iTunes Match needs a network connection to work, either Wi-Fi, cellular or wired. See the following:
    Make sure you have an active Internet connection
    Be sure your computer or device has an active Internet connection by loading a webpage using Safari or another web browser.
    On an iOS device with cellular support, if you are not on a Wi-Fi network, try enabling 3G cellular data1 for iTunes Match.
    For iOS 6, tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Use Cellular Data > On
    For iOS 5.1.1 or earlier, tap Settings > iTunes & App Store > Use Cellular Data > On
    1Fees may be associated with downloading over cellular networks; contact your wireless carrier for details.

  • ITunes No Longer Runs--iTunes Helper Resources Not a Valid File Name

    I made a dumb mistake (I think) and tried to install iTunes onto an SD card.  At first, my computer would only let me open iTunes if the SD card was installed.  I tried to reinstall to the C drive, but keep getting the "I Tunes Helper Resources not a Valid File Name" message.  At this point I want to uninstall everything and start over, but I'm afraid I'll lose my music.  I still have all the files but, of course, none will open since I don't have a properly installed iTunes anymore.   Would appreciate any assistance in uninstalling, reinstalling and saving my current music files.

    Here's what I decided to do.  Fortunately, all the files were still available, so I simply backed them up from my iTunes Music Library onto a 32 GB flash drive then transferred the new stuff onto an older computer in my office with an older version of iTunes.  I had to do this in several shifts since I have more than 32GB of music.  Everything that transferred plays well.  Next I'll try to wipe iTunes completely off the new computer, reinstall an older version of iTunes and then reload all the files onto the new computer.  What a PITA!

  • Error message stating "Network resources not found"

    I distributed a form and now I am receiving a message stating "Network Resources Not Found". What can I do? Nothing has been changed since the form was distributed and the "help person" was no help when talking to them.

    The forms are saved on my personal computer and they have not been moved since they were created. The form was given an open access so that anyone could access and complete/submit the form. It had been working perfectly until Tuesday when the error message started to appear.

  • I am having problems with an update.  I spoke with Prabhudev on 9/27.  He was unable to resolve my problem and referred me to call 800-833-6687.  When I call, I get an automated message that help is not available.  What now?

    My Mac tells me there is an update for Photoshop CS5, the Camera Raw 6.7 update.  It downloads, installs, then gives me an error message that the installation failed, error code U44M1P7, and advises contacting Customer Support.  I did so.  On 9/27 I chatted with Prabhudev.  He referred me to a link to download the update.  I did the download and tried to install.  I got an error message - "Error - “AdobePatchInstaller.app” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.“AdobePatchInstaller.app” is on the disk image “AdobeCameraRaw-6.7-mul-AdobeUpdate.dmg”. Safari downloaded this disk image today at 12:54 PM from www.adobe.com"  He then said
    Prabhudev: Okay, In this case I suggest you to contact our technical support team on monday.
    Prabhudev: 800-833-6687
    That number gets me to a recording that tells me that phone support is not available.
    I can open and use Photoshop, but whenever I check for updates for my computer, this same update comes up, gets downloaded, and fails to install.  I want to either get rid of the update message or get the update installed.  Can anyone help?

    Further info - I changed my security settings to allow apps from anywhere, and again tried to install.  I again got an error message
    that the update failed to install, and to contact Customer Support.

    Hey try this. It's my post and I found a fix that might help you. It might not but it's worth a try if you are still having problems. You may have already tried it, so did I, easily over a hundred times now over the past 5-7 weeks now.
    Hope it helps. Or if you find another fix, let me know for reassurance that if it happens again there's another way to get around the iTunes restoring problem.
