HELP - iTunes completely dead after 7.1 upgrade

I upgraded to iTunes 7.1. I'm using Vista Ultimate. The iTunes 7.1 upgrade appeared to install without a problem but when I rebooted now both iTunes and Quicktime produce the same error message if I try to either, Run, Repair or Remove the software. The message is as follows:
The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\Program files\iPod\Acknowledgements.rtf
Anyone know how to fix this problem? I tried to reinstall 7.1 and received the same message as above. I then went to the Control Pannel to add remove programs and I still received the same error message. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I can not find any location or contact to ask Apple for help.

Rachyl,
Since I'm dead in the water I was hoping at least someone could tell me how to manually delete itunes so that I could try to re-install it again. As of now I can't do anything. Does anyone know if Apple reads these forums?

HT1212 my iPad has gone completely dead after flawless use for two years. I cannot access serial number because device will not open. All my other devices work. I cannot get into Apple help because it requires a serial number. I have connected to my Ma

My Ipad is completely dead so I cannot open to determine serial number. When I call into support center they want erial number but when I try alternate means it says locked passcode. Will not synch . How can I get help

There are some other ways to find the serial number:

Alternatively you could just give Apple a call, follow the link below to find the number in your country:

Cannot load iTunes on ipad after iOS 7 upgrade

Why does itunes not lauch on ipad 2 after iOS 7 upgrade?

I had the same problem as kurt185. But now I found the solution. It is a bug in the iTunes app:
You have to go to Settings>Safari>BlockCookies and must change from "Always" to "From third parties and advertisers".
After that iTunes works perfectly.

E71X completly dead after getting an update

My wife received a message from ATT last night saying they were doing a software update. She checked the message and sat the phone back down. This morning it was completely dead and would not charge.
I then swithched the battery from my phone to her phone to see if it was the battery. It started right up.
Then I put her battery in my phone and it started up also.
She did not drop or jiggle the phone.
Any ideas on what happend?
Should I call Nokia and send it back?

Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

HELP Itunes wont launch after upgrading

I downloaded the latest Itunes, and then tried to launch it.
I keep getting the following message
"error getting file security :\C\program files\get last error 5
I have even tried to remove I tunes through the add & remove section in the control panel, but this also does not allow me to do this and i get the same message.
Can someone help ???

I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there.
some preliminary questions.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
also, reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

IPhone 3GS has gone completely dead, after telling me to connect to iTunes, after trying to update the software.

My parents are about to recieve an upgrade to their contract which currently is an iPhone. They asked me to sync their iPhone to iTunes to save the settings, should they get an iPhone again.
When I tried to sync the phone, iTunes prompted a software update (this doesn't suprise me as they wouldn't see the need to connect it to the computer ever!)
Naturally, I accepted this update, only for an error to occr. (I didn't see this, my Dad said it happened but didn't note the error code down.)
Then, when I went to use the phone, it said on the screen, "connect to iTunes". On doing this, neither iTunes or the phone had no response. I set the iPhone into recovery mode to restore it from iTunes, and the phone flashed white for half a second and then cut out. I've had no response from it since, tried charging and leaving it plugged into the computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Oddly, I've now fiddled with it a bit more, and I can manage to get the Apple logo up for a short time, but if I let go of the hold button it cuts out again.
If I continue to hold it, the logo turns into connect to iTunes. I do this, no response from iTunes.

Help...LUMIA 521 completely dead after latest Wind...

Tried to install the latest update earlier today, saw that the wheels icon was turning and phone went dead. Figured it was a reboot of the phone, but here Iam 2 hours later, unable to power up the phone or charge it or anything.
Any ideas? Can't even get it to master reset. Unbelieveable an update would break the whole phone like this

On the contrary, the firmware update process is one of the riskiest operations you can ever carry out on your phone. Any blip, however small can potentially result in corruption, potentially bricking the phone. If the reset did not help then, you should have your phone checked out at your local Nokia Care Point. They will probably reflash the update.

IPod touch completely dead after attempted update to 3.0

Cross-posted to "with Windows" forum...
...Not only during update to 3.0, but also during update to 2.2.1 and during a restore attempt 6 weeks ago. All 3 "dead" iPods have been replaced by Apple - I'd like a solution...
I have videoed the update taking place and the iPod dying during it - sadly it is in MOV format (439MB) and I cannot convert to an uploadable version for Youtube... By DEAD, I mean, no power and will not display ANYTHING on the screen. Simply won't power up again.
This is what happens: Download update using iTunes... Extracting software... Backing up iPod... Preparing the iPod for the software update... (iPod shows USB plug and CD - then apple logo...) then the updating progress line appears on iTunes and on touch. Updating iPod software... Verifying updated iPod software... Updating the iPod firmware... White progress line on iPod disappears after a few seconds and screen goes black. Error message displays on iTunes - "The iPod xxxx could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)"
iPod is now dead and needs to be replaced,
1) Has anyone experienced this?
2) Has anyone SOLVED it?
Maybe related is a problem with some videos that have happened recently (and were the cause of me trying to restore the iPod last time it died) MP4 (or MPV files) play for about 20-30 minutes, then screen goes white, then black, then apple logo appears, then iPod returns to home screen after about 30 seconds. My usual solution to this has been to remove all videos, photos (which are corrupted by this time), audio, and then re-sync back.
I'd appreciate ANY help please. I intend buying an iPhone soon and would like to know that the problem won't occur on that, every time I try to restore.
Cheers!
Martin

To begin the discussion, let's throw in a few possibilities:
1. Is your iPod in the process of being "jail-broken"? If so, I'd avoid the risk and stick with standard Apple firmware. Some hacks end up with dead iPods.
2. Do you use iTunes for syncing? Only use Apple software for managing your file system.
3. Are you Windows or Apple? For whatever it's worth, I've only seen this happen with Windows machines.
No solutions here - but maybe some hopeful suggestions.

ITunes stopped working after 8.01 upgrade

While running iTunes 8 on my xp pro box it asked to upgrade. I said yes. It did, but never appeared after upgrading. It is running in the task manager, but no application ever appears. Here's what I have tried:
1. repair install - no luck
2. remove install and re-install 8.0 - 8 says can't start due to library files being from a newer version.
3. moved library files out of the 'my music' folder - 8 still wouldn't start.
4. re-install 8.01 - no start
5. re-installed newest QT - did see 'QT handler' wouldn't shut down errors when re-starting system - but this didn't get iTunes working.
6. QT opens and works fine.
7. deleted the data files in the 'all users' folders - still won't run.
8. re-installed the VBasic scripter - no fix.
9. started the smart card service - no fix
Looks like MANY other having problems with 8.01. Any helpful ideas appreciated!

I am having the same problem. My iTunes will not start. It started once or twice. I tried downloading it again and it gave me the option of repairing or rmoving so i chose repairing and it finished installing and started up. now it won't start again. I think it caused my iPod to lose the music in it.
If i remove iTunes and reinstall it, will it lose my library on the computer?
thanks
Mike

PLEASE HELP Itunes wont open after downloading v6

COMPAQ Presario R3000 Windows XP
Please help, i have just downloaded itunes (v6) and when i try to open it, nothing happens (no error) it is in processes in task manager (as itunes.exe) but it is not actually open. I have spent many hours trying to fix this and still no luck, please someone help,
Thanks in advance
Karl

Well I don't know what "tried everything possible" means!
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

Zen XTRA is completely dead after installing the latest firmware 2.10

Hello,?I have tried to install the latest firmware 2.0.03 to my Zen Xtra 60GB mp3 player. The installation process completed about 70%. As I understand, at that point the?new firmware was finally uploaded after a couple of player reboots. The?firmware installer was waiting with a message "Waiting for the player to reboot", and the player rebooted. But the firmware installer was waiting, and waiting... and after an hour I looked at the player and saw that it was not starting up at all. I removed the USB cable, stopped the firmware upgrade process and tried to reboot the player with reset; then I tried to access the recovery menu as described in the FAQ?- but no success. The player shows completely no response to any button presses, the LCD does not even flicker, the hard dri've does not power up - I don't hear it. Nothing happens, even if pressing the play/reset switch for fi've minutes. What's could be the matter? And more importantly, how can I get it working back again? I fear that the warranty has expired by now. Can anyone suggest what to do?I would be grateful for any ideas.

It is puzzling how some people including myself can upgrade thier firmware on thier devices and experience no problems at all during the procedure. Then theres others like yourself who would experience catastrophic events.
Since we all downloaded the firmware from the same place, and?alot of us didn't have any problems, it is?at least safe to say that there isn't anything?wrong?with the new firmware. Or else we'd all problems.
So for these devices that are failing, there must have been already a serious problem with them before the upgrade even started. The symptons just went unnoticed through every day normal use. And are only manifested through a reload/upgrade of firmware. Or something happened on the computer itself, during the transfer of data; auto file scanning virus protection comes to mind, or other programs or services running in the background that were taking up resources needed to make the upgrade go smoothly,?a USB cable with a short in it or a bad USB port. Who knows?!
If the player doesn't even start?up in?rescue mode then theres really nothing as a consumer you can do to fix it. You'd have to just see about getting it repaired, or replace it. I know yours is a 60GB, but?I gotta tell you the new 30GB Zen Vision M is a sweet deal!

Pleae help, itunes wont synch after update

after a recnt update for my itouch 4s, it wont synch with my itouch anymore, nor would my pc charge my itouch.
now whenever i open itunes , a message pops out, it says "the registry settings used by the Itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing, this can happen as a result of isntalling other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes."
i tried
uninstalling and reinstalling itunes (numerous times)
delete all programs relating to itunes (appple softwareupgade, Bonjour,Itunes, etc) then reinstalling them.
Note: my ipod touch can synch and be recharged from other PCs, o i guess its just my Itunes software problem
any help will be very appreciated, THANKS

i have tried the 3 step thing again which u mentioned above in your first commet, but at the end i was under the suggestion of other resources and search "GearAspiWDM.inf" and right click and install after the steps. i did that. ow whenever i open itunes, terror message wont appear, but it ont connec with my itouch.
i cant find a suitable application for registry repair... sorry
and also i downloaded Gears Driver installer x86 x64, so i dont know whether its this installing "fixed" the error message , or my installation on GearAspiWDM.inf

ITunes on iPad after iOS 6 upgrade

Has anyone had a problem connecting to iTunes after upgrading to iOS 6 on iPad?

Hi
Are you or anyone else still having problems connecting to iTunes since the IOS6 upgrade?
I can connect okay in the Apple store, but not on any other WiFi network. This is really annoying when trying to show the problem to them!
I have reset my iPad2 to factory settings, but it still won't connect.
Anyone have any clues please?

ITunes Error 42408 After 9.03 Upgrade

I am receiving the error 42408 after upgrading to 9.03. Google did not yield any results. The error appears attempting to authorize my Powerbook.

I had the same problem. Check the version of iTunes via the About dialog. Mine said 9.0.2 despite having upgraded via system updates, itunes and even downloading the whole package again.
Turns out, the dock iTunes link is running the old one. Basically, remove it from the dock, and re-drag the itunes from the applications folder back onto the dock. This then started 9.0.3 for me, and my iTunes account worked, the itunes store worked and iphone sync worked as well. Phew.
