Error Updating itunes

When trying to update iTunes from 7.02 to 8 I keep getting an error message: Could not access network location iTunes\.
I get this same error when trying to remove iTunes as well. I have updated everything I can on Windows xp as well as followed all the trouble shooting options that apple provides.
Can anyone out there help. Thank you.

For emrhenter
When you get this kind of message about not being able to access a network location, it usually means you need to do an installer cleanup with the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility.
I have given a method for full removal of iTunes and related programs with cleanup, but you might get away with just doing the iTunes bits.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

  • Error Updating iTunes On Windows

    Sorry I can't seem to find where to start a new topic...
    For the last few months my Dell Studio is asking me to update iTunes/Quicktime but each time I try it gives an error and then backs out of the update. When I connect my iTouch it also tells me I need to update and I get the same issues. Why can't I update any more? It was working fine prior to Sept/Oct.
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit system.
    I've asked questions here before but never get a reply. For the money I paid for the iTouch they should offer a basic support instead of charging you as soon as the warranty runs out in a few months.
    Thanx for any help you can provide.
    <Edited by Host>

    As close as I can recall the error was;
    Error getting file security
    Quicktime 7.66.????(not sure exact #'s)
    Get last error;5
    I tried to unistall Quicktime and all others associated with it (ie, Bonjour, Apple applications, etc)but it would give that same error then stop the uninstall process.
    Thanx for the quick reply

  • Multiple errors updating iTunes.  Initially solved but now worse...

    Hello,
    I'm on Windows 7 64 bit and I was trying to update my itunes from 6.0 to 6.1  Initally I was getting this problem trying to upgrade: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3589490?start=0&tstart=0
    The solution posted there seemed to work.  The fix program worked on itunes and everything was uninstalled fine.  I downloaded and installed 6.1 now and when it boots I get the message:  unknown error occured -42408.  Moreover, it no longer recognizes my phone (8g 4 verizon cdma) and is asking me to restore it.  Searches for this error message haven't yeilded posts as helpful as I found with my first problem.
    Can anyone give me any tips on what to do about this?

    okay it says i need to configure my IPOD. So i've already downloaded the most recent ipod updater.
    When i connect my ipod to my CPU my entire computer freezes.
    What do i do? please help guys/girls!

  • Error update itunes

    Hi all,
    I hope someone can help me with the following issue. Please note that I am not a genius when it comes to Macs or computers, so you'll have to explain me what to do in simple words ;-)
    Whenever there's a new update for Itunes, my iMac gives the following 'error': it says (translated into English): please shut down the following programme before continuing installation: Itunes.
    But my itunes is not open. The download never finishes no matter how many times I try again, or how long I wait. Something goes wrong every time I try and it's starting to annoy me. I am unable to get new downloads.
    What do I do?

  • Error updating iTunes to 11.1

    I click check for update. Then a prompt comes up asking do I want to update to 11.1. It starts downloading than it says "Erroe downloading if this happens again do it manually by clicking on tools > download only itunes." Help (This is Windows 7)

    Did the same... Checked for updates then used the /Tools menu to download.  That silently downloaded a new set of .msi installers to...
         C:\Users\{usename}\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update
    ....that I was able to use to manually update to 11.1.

  • Bonjour error updating itunes

    I get a message saying there is a new version of ITunes which I try to install.  Before the installation has completed I get an error saying it can't find bonjour msi file and I can't find it either, but is this required? Is there a workaround or an easy fix that does not involve uninstalling itunes and starting over?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • 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.

    Hello, Jdragone. 
    Thanks for the question.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

  • When I try to update iTunes 10.3, Insufficient Privileges error. C:\programData\{429CAD59-35B1-4DBC-BB6D-1DB24-6563521}\x86\DIFxAPI.dll

    When I try to update iTunes 10.3, the installer finishes downloading but then this message appears "errors occured while installing updates. If the problem persist, select Tools, "just download" and instal them manually"
    so I go and do that, select Tools and then just download. Then when it finishes loading it goes back to the Apple Software Updater and pups up another window at this location C:\Users\brandsmart\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update
    there I find AppleApplicationSupport, AppleMobileDeviceSupport, Bonjour, iTunes, QuickTime and SetupAdmin. So when I select iTunes it starts downloading it again, but this time as if it was the first time (not an update)..
    It takes me to "Welcome to the iTunes Installer" I click next, I accept the terms and conditions and click next, takes me to the "Installations Options" I check and click "Install" then click "accept" then "accept" again, so it starts to download but then when it finishes downloading this meassage appears "the installer has insuffisient privileges to modify this file: C:\ProgramData\{429CAD59=35B1-4DBC-BB6D-1DB24-6563521}\x86\DIFxAPI.dll.
    and there are three options- "Abort, Retry and Ignore." If I "ignore", nothing happens, just closes and pups right back up. If I click "retry," just the same, closes and opens right back up with the same options. If I "abort" it asks me if I'm sure to cancel, so I click "yes" so it says "rolling back action." when it's done it just closes everything and if I try to update, it's the same story all over again.
    If I go to the "Advanced Security Settings for iTunes" I can see my name and two more options, all of them say "allow and full control" so I'm guessing that's not the problem but I don't really know.
    Please somebody help me!! I don't know what to do.

    the installer has insuffisient privileges to modify this file: C:\ProgramData\{429CAD59=35B1-4DBC-BB6D-1DB24-6563521}\x86\DIFxAPI.dll.
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • I can't update itunes. I get error message can't find "itunes.msi". What can I do?

    What can I do to download updated itunes. I get error message can't locate "itunes.msi." folder.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Error R6034 during update. iTunes will not open due to error.

    Try updating your QuickTime Player to the latest version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

    I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes.  I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

    Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

  • I am getting a bonjour64 error when trying to update itunes

    I am getting an error message about Bonjour64 when I am trying to updated itunes on pc.

    I'm in the same boat.
    Tried uploading to iOS7 on my laptop. It looked like it was working, but then said I needed to restore my phone. I did. Now I have a phone that won't turn on, won't "activate".
    So I switch to my desktop, just to get my phone turned on again and working. Try to install iTunes 11.1 and get this message:
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1102.)(102)

  • Today, I got a "update iTunes and tonight, I can't access my iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled and the error message reads: iTunesexe-unable to locate component. App has failed to start due to MSVCR80.dll was not found: Reinstall may fix" but hasn't.

    I received an iTunes update today and updates files. Tonight, I couldn't acces my iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still getting same error message: iTunes exe unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.DLL was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.  I've done it several times and still get the error.  I'm fearful I have lost all my music.  What can I do?
