Help please! error writing to file cannot download itunes...cant fix!

i really dont know what to do... i just got my computer a couple of months and something must have happened when i downloaded it the first time. i few times after using is i was having problems it said something about a corrupt file. So logically i thought to uninstall and then reinstal. but since then i have been dealing with this problem for a couple of weeks.
installation will go well for a while (a couple of minutes) then i will this error.
Error writing to file: C:\programfiles\commonfiles\apple\mobiledevicesupport\bin\AOSutils.dll
then its says please verify that you have access to that directory.
i have tried so many things and really dont know what to do. this cannot be manually deleted either.
any advice would be appreciated!

"Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Most commonly, it's caused by disk or file damage, J.
Let's first try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's Windows 7 instructions in the following document. Select both "automatically fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you choose to go about things). You should be prompted to schedule the scan to run on restart. That sort of scan of the C drive should take a long time ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan:

Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Error writing to file when updating Itunes Windows 7

    Error message: C\Program files (x86) Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources\clientdescription.plist MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DIRECTORY.
    HELP!!!

    I don't know where to go from this point, but I threw caution to the wind and double-clicked iTunes Windows Installer Package. It went to work until I got another error message: "Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\1279ed.rbf.  Verify that you have access to that directory."
    Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? I tend to identify that message with Kaspersky interfering with the install.
    If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe (64-bit installer file) to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Any better luck with the security software shut down?

  • Error writing to file when installing iTunes 10.

    When I updated to iTunes 10 yesterday, it updated fine, but when I went to run it today, it had to configure. It was almost completed when I got the error "Error writing to file: C\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\ru.lproj\IPod touch License.rtf". I tried to access the file, but it says the file cannot be found.
    I uninstalled iTunes, and went to re-install it, but at about the same time I get the exact same error.

  • Error writing to file messages when itunes installation is removing files

    I receive almost error writing to file messages when the itunes installation is removing files. I simply click on the retry button without making any access changes and the installation moves on. All of the .rbf files (the first 10 are listed below) are in C:\Config.Msi that errors. Please tell me how to prevent these errors in Windows Vista.

    The nearest I can find is there is a conflict between the Windows Backup program (which creates zip files) and Stuffit, which also creates zip files. Have you been using both those programs?

  • Error writting to file - Cannot install iTunes. Help!

    I hope someone can help me. I've tried, multiple times, to install the latest iTunes but I keep getting the following message:
    +"Error writting to file: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\etc\zoneinfo\America\Monterrey. Verify that you have access to that file."+
    Does anyone know what this means? I'm running Windows Vista. I originally had iTunes 7.3 but needed the upgrade for iPod Nano. I have uninstalled it and removed the Mobile Device Support and Quicktime to try and reinstall everything but nothing it working.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    When you get this message you need to manually remove the Gear drivers before installing iTunes.
    See this Gear Support thread:

    The second post contains a link to the removal method.

  • 7.0 won't install, error writing to file

    Received the following 7.0 install error on Toshiba laptop with Win XP Tablet Ed.
    Error writing to file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\iPodHelp.chm
    Verify that you have access to that directory.
    Hangs same place each install attempt and can't bypass or ignore, only cancel.
    Any ideas welcome
      Windows XP  

    for what it is worth, i believe that that means it is hanging up on resources relating to the french language version of the ipodhelp documentation in your itunes help menu.
    try navigating to
    C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\iPodHelp.chm
    ... and deleting that file.
    does the install go through properly after doing that?

  • When downloading iTunes, I got a message about error writing to file and it told the file. Then it said to verify that you have access to that directory. I have no idea how to fix it. I could really use some help, please.

    I was trying to download iTunes on my computer, and while doing so, I got this message: Error writing to file: C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Apple Application Support/Apple Versions.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory. I have downloaded iTunes numerous times and I have never had this problem. If anyone knows what's going on, I would really appreciate the help.

    Well, there's definitely a mac and a Windows version. And you're at the right page. I think the problem is that someone forgot (or decided not to) to update the text at teh bottom of the page to have Mac and Windows.
    Just push the button, you'll get the Mac update no problem.

  • Cannot download itunes, error message says I am missing media accessibility.dll  Can you help me?

    I cannot download itunes on my PC.  Error message says i am missing Media Accessibility.dll  Can anyone help?

    Hi, you may have resolved this issue already, but if not...
    There should be one copy of MediaAccessibility.dll in the folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support (32-bit systems) or
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support (64-bit systems)
    If you can locate the file, right-click on it and select Properties, then on theDetails tab it should have File Version - 48.1.0.11. If it has a different version number then it is out of date and is likely to be cause of the problem.
    Please search your Programs Files and/or Programs Files (x86) folders for all copies of the file MediaAccessibility.dll - Any other copies of the file in different locations are likely to be out of date, but might be called in error by an executable file in the same folder, thereby causing the error.
    Should you find more than one copy of MediaAccessibility.dll could you please let me know in which other locations it was found. This will let us more effectively help others with the same issue by suggesting where they should look. If you have the correct version, in the correct place, then deleting any others should fix your problem. This is similar to the QTMovieWin.dll issue dealt with in the first box of the user tip Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    If you don't have the correct version of the file then completely removing all components, deleting the named folders, and reinstalling as suggested in the second box of the user tip should work. You could try repairing Apple Application Support alone from the the Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs control panel first as that would be quicker, but only if it works.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
