Error message when opening itunes; won't update or uninstall itunes

a few months ago, i downloaded the new version of itunes and safari together. once downloaded, my computer restarted and wouldn't turn back on. i repeatedly attempted to run my computer but, once it was turned back on, it just stayed on a solid black screen. finally, and by some random occurrence, my computer came back on and ran normally with one exception, i got an error message every time i tried to open itunes. when i click on itunes to open it, i get a message that says "this action is only valid for products that are installed" itunes is most certainly installed on my computer. i then tried to reinstall the new version of itunes, but it tells me it can't locate itunes.msi. and i get the same message when i try to uninstall it.
i tried to go through my OS (C:), then program files, and then right-click on itunes and delete it, but i constantly get a message that says "permission is required" so i select try again.
i also tried to download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, but that too gives me an error message when i try to run it.
i'm hopeless! pleeeeeease help me.

i also tried to download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, but that too gives me an error message when i try to run it.
Is that an 800A0046 error, megan?
If so, can you get CleanUp to install if you do a run as administrator, as per the following document?
[Error "800A0046 - Permission Denied" when installing the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility in Windows Vista|http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/170/1/Error-800A0046---Permission-D enied-when-installing-the-Windows-Installer-Cleanup-Utility-in-Windows-Vista.htm l]
If you're getting a different error message from CleanUp, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Error Message when open iTunes -42032. What can I do?

    Try 2 solutions: 1.  Press both Ctrl and Shift keys then double click on ITunes.  Hold keys down until a box appears on screen indicating ITunes is starting in "safe mode'.  left click on 'continue" and ITunes will run without closing.
    2;  Start ITunes normally, then  after loading, choose "Match" and then touch "stop" beforre step 3 , Uploading songs...",  runs for more than a few seconds.  The code problems are in Match;  the uploading function in Match.  ITunes won't crash if you stop Match soon enough!

  • Error message when opening CS6 files in earlier versions

    PSCS6 with 12.0.4 update.  Mac OSX 10.8.2   16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3  543 GB Available
    I've recently become aware that other people are getting an error message when opening many of my my psd files if they are on earlier versions of PS and also on PSE, (including the latest version).  The message is:
    This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable.  To preserve the original appearance instead, choose flatten to load composite data as a flattened image. 
    Three options follow:  Flatten  Cancel  Keep Layers
    When 'keep layers' is selected the file opens as normal.  However, people with much earlier version (CS version 8) don't get the option to keep layers, and the layers are flattened when the document is opened.
    I still have CS5 on my mac, and I find that if I take my finished file into CS5 and save it there, the customer does not get the message above, and the file behaves as it should.  Those on very early version of PS can also open the files without any issues. 
    I've been using CS6 since it was released and have had to delve through all my files and save them in CS5.  Not every file is affected and I've been unable to find a common thread.
    Hoping someone can throw some light on this.

    This similar to the message one should get in an older version of photoshop such as photoshop 7.
    If one presses ok instead of read composite that might preserve the layers with the original look.
    But sometimes if a layer blending mode or some other feature is used an earlier versions of photoshop doesn't have, reading the composite is the only way to preserve the look of the image.
    You said your using shape layers?
    If they are shape layers you didn't use a stroke from the tool options bar?
    Can you post an example of the image with the layers panel visible that you get that message with?
    I guess your using photoshop cs6 with the 13.01 update?

  • I had to reinstall CS4 and now have error messages when opening bridge and photoshop

    The error message is "The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\Version Cue.DLL

    I tried what you suggested and it did not help.  whenever I try to open either photoshop or bridge, I get a message saying that there was a problem loading scripts the last time that Bridge was open and do I want to try loading them again?  If I click yes, I get that same error message that I reported in my original question and photoshop/bridge will immediately close.  If I click no, photoshop and bridge will open but it will not let me open a raw format document.  It seems like Adobe Camera Raw is not being recognized.   One of the updates I downloaded was an update to Adobe Camera Raw so the functionality is there, it just can't be accessed.  do you think I should try to uninstall and re-install Photoshop again?

  • Anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    Hi, couple of things to try...
    Anonymous
    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile
    http://x704.net/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6130
    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
