Having trouble with updating...

Hi. I am trying to update iTunes using software update, but, whenever I try to update, all that comes up is an error window with the following:
*The update "iTunes" can't be saved*
You do not have the appropriate access privileges.
The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.
I have tried to play around with the access privileges, but, it did not make a difference.

You library and settings will remain intact.
That's a big assumption to make, if the preference file that describes some of those settings is corrupted. I would at the very minimum clone backup your data before attempting anything so big, in case the update does make something more corrupt than it is already*:

At very minimum you don't want the update to trigger another failure somewhere else. Once corruption exists, it can multiply when updates are done.

Having trouble with updated iTunes - iPod Nano 1st Gen.

My iPod Nano [1st Generation] won't update or anything with iTunes 7.0!!! It worked with iTunes 6, but I downloaded 7 and it messed up my iPod - I tried deleting iTunes 7 and redownloading 6, but when I finished doing that, and I tried to get 6 to load, a window popped up that said "'iTunes Library.itl' cannot load because it was created on an updated version of iTunes" or something along that line. So now my songs are completely gone, I have NOTHING on my iPod because I had to delete iTunes 7... WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?!?!

I tried to get 6 to load, a window popped up that said "'iTunes Library.itl' cannot load because it was created on an updated version of iTunes"
the following post might be of some help with that:

I am having trouble with updating Itunes

Hi can anyone help me out with this. The other day I tried to update my Itunes from 11.1.3 to 11.1.4. The update wasn't successful. I then tried to update via the Itunes website however that led me to a error message. That message said "Service apple mobile device. (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
Another thing that I tried was restarting my computer and that didn't help with the issue. I uninstalled Itunes and I am still getting the above error message when I am attemping to reinstall it.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so is there anything that was done to resolve the issue? Everything with my itunes was working fine until I tried to update it.

Hello, JRA24ever.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I think the best option would be to completely uninstall all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below. Once this is done attempt to install iTunes again.

Having trouble with updating PS CC

Update keeps failing and application Manager keeps closing? anyone know why

You could try a password reset on your previous Apple ID. You may need to do this in the future for other software if you have purchased other apps with that previous Apple ID.
How to go about a password reset.
Go to appleid.apple.com. Click on the words "Reset your password" under the button "Manage your Apple ID". Just give them the other info they request. You will need to know what the email you used for your previous apple ID was. If you don't have that info, go to appleid.apple.com. Click on the words "Find your Apple ID" under the button "Create an Apple ID".
Another option you could try if you have never paid for software using your previous Apple ID: Since iBooks Author is a free piece of software, why not go to the app store, choose to purchase it again with your current ID, and then try updating it. I have never actually done this, but it should work.

Still having trouble with update

A month ago I tried updating to iTunes6. Once that occurred it told me that I needed quicktime 7.0.3 and that I have 7.0.2. I've tried uninstalling and going back to the cd software...but then my music won't play. All my music will be in the library, but it won't play. So then I redownloaded iTunes6 and the original message comes up. Can you send me a patch or send me an older version of iTunes? I can't update my mini without it.
Thanks,
Lexi

hi Lexi!
you're actually not talking directly to Apple. this is a user-to-user troubleshooting forum. see:
What is Apple Discussions?
Once that occurred it told me that I needed quicktime 7.0.3 and that I have 7.0.2.
for that one, let's first try a careful standalone QT 7.0.3 install.
download and save to your hard drive a copy of the QT 7.0.3 installer. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.3 Standalone Installer
if you get an error message on the standalone install, let us know what it says. (include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
if the install goes through, does your itunes launch again?
keep us posted.
love, b

Having trouble with updating from 4.0 to iOS 4.0.2.

I have been trying to update my iPod since yesterday. I attempted 6 to 7 time but i got the same message again again saying "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod. The network Connection timed out, make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later".
I don't see any connection error.My internet connection is working fine. But still i get the error message. Any help will be great. Thanks in advance.

almost all apps will not be compatible!

trust me dont upgrade! you will regret it, all your paid for apps will not work,,
half of my apps dont work right and im on os4 4.0.2 is even worse!

Trouble with updating apps

Having trouble with updating some of my apps. You Tube esp.

Apps are tied to the account that downloaded the apps, not to the device that they are on, so any apps that your son downloaded can only be updated via his account and vice versa.
You can sign in and out of accounts via Settings > Store and tapping the account on the right-hand side. If you no longer use the apps that your son downloaded then you could delete them (or if they are free apps you could delete and then download them under you account) - you could always reset to factory settings (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Setting) and reload just your apps from scratch (apps can be re-downloaded for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), which is a 'cleaner' way of doing it

I am having trouble with my Mac Mini's ethernet connection. Defining a new network interface shows no ethernet adaptor. Reloading SL from DVD repaired. But SL update lost ethernet again. Will Lion Fix?

I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet. It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
But yesterday, after a power up. my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more. And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
no ethernet available.
As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD. (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
The ethernet worked! But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
Now the Ethernet is not working again. I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
Is this a problem seen by others?
Would going to Lion fix the problem?
Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?

Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps. This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related. All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting". I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement. The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup. I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on. There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available). Any suggestions on what to try next?

Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

I'm having trouble with my Pages app. Over half of my document are updating, and do not finish. I cannot get to the documents. This has been going for 2 weeks now, they do not update.

I'm having trouble with my Pages app. Over half of my document show that they are updating. I cannot open or delete the documents. Does anyone know a fix for this? Please help.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.
