  • I am trying to update iTunes and am getting an error message The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

    Hi, I am trying to get help with an update install of iTunes. When I opened iTunes the other day, it told me there was an update to version 10.6.1. When I tried to install this version I received the following message " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I tried to uninstall iTunes, and it would not uninstall. It gave me the following message " The path C:\documents and settings\network service\local settings\application data\apple\apple software update\iTunes.msi cannot be found. I tried running Windows fixit, but this did not solve the problem. Can anyone tell me how to finish uninstalling the old iTunes file, so I can reinstall the newest version? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    Regards, Paul

    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:

    I get message like below on each stage of the update, Quicktime, Safari & iTunes;
    It's so annoying as until I update my iTunes account my phone won't sync.

    Many thanks for the screenshot. (The key to these is knowing which particular .msi file is being mentioned by the message.)
