Error message when upgrading iTunes

When I get a notice for Software Upgrade for my eMac (10.4.8), it works for everything except iTunes - I get a message "Please quit iTunes before beginning this update" even though iTunes is closed. I have to reboot the computer or this message recurs. Appreciate suggestions.

Open the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and quit the iTunesHelper process if it's running as well as anything else owned by your account which looks like it relates to iTunes.

  • Error message when updating Itunes...can not open Itunes program

    I am recieving error message when updating Itunes for my computer.  The error message reads "MSVCR80.dll is missing and the other error message reads Error 7  (Windows error 126)"  I can not open my Itunes.  I have reloaded the Itunes onto my computer but still have the same error messages.  Please help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    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!

    Can I uninstall existing iTunes without losing my media library?  and then install fresh to fix this problem?

  • Error Message when installing Itunes 7

    When I was trying to upgrade my Itunes to Itunes 7 , it downloaded all the way, but when it was preparing to install i got this message.
    The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if your running Windows in safe mode or if the Windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your personnel for assistance.
    My computer wasn't running in safe mode and ive gotten this message many times when i have tried to redownload it so it must be an ongoing problem. What should i do?

    The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if your running Windows in safe mode or if the Windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your personnel for assistance.
    with that one, the following document is a good place to start:

  • "iPod Service Failed to Start" message when upgrading iTunes

    When upgrading iTunes from Version 7 to the newest version, I got an error message stating "Service, 'iPod Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services." So I canceled the download and rolled back to Version 7 again. I did notice that now I'm getting an error message when I start up Version 7, stating that it could not start the iPod service. I just bought an ipod Classic and cannot use it without the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

  • What action can I take to eliminate the following error message when launching iTunes?

    Since the iTunes upgrade last week I persistently get the following message when launching iTunes. "You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts. Do you want to sync these podcast subscriptions and stations with ------------ "
    I only have one Apple ID of which I am aware. I changed the password just before the update, after receiving an email advising access from a device that I did not recognise.
    The error message goes on to refer to a Windows XP, desktop system as the previous platform for this synchronisation. I have been relying upon the old MacBook Pro since March, when iTunes on the Desktop crashed. I gave up trying reinstallation etc. on the desktop as nothing appeared to resolve the problem. I have "uninstalled" the application in Windows but lack the necessary skills to remove all traces. I still get error messages about iTunes when opening Windows XP but there is no evidence of application elements on the Hard Drive / System that I am able to recognise.
    iTunes appears to lack a process for updating to recognise that the current platform should be the default.

    Try signing out of iTunes, then back in again. This worked for me and a few others. To sign out, in the iTunes menu bar, click "Store" > "Sign Out".

  • Error message when upgrading to 7.3.2.6

    I just (attempted to) upgrade to 7.3.2.6 (and after the install, it all seems OK for now) - but during the install, I got a "files in use" error message window, mentioning that Windows Explorer was running (Process Id: 432), giving me the option to Retry, Ignore or Exit.
    I tried all options - I even Exited and rebooted - and re-upgraded after that, but keep getting the same error... So far iTunes seems to have upgraded and appears to be working - but could the install have missed some components now - and therefore should I expect trouble ahead?

    Yes, i had the same error message after upgrading to 7.3.
    I am using windows XP - i went to the Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Scrolled to iTunes & clicked on Change (not Remove), then clicked Repair. It all works fine after that.
    Search this forum - i hope you find a solution.

  • 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.)
