HT202159 itunes will not update properly on mac osx maverick

i have osx maverick and my itunes now won't open - it says it can't open while it is being updated but in the app store it shows as "calculating" and won't update, it's been doing this for about a week. i can't seem to cancel or resume, nothing. itunes support was no help. i have signed out and signed back in, nothing is working to make this installation and update happen. anyone know what to do?

I am curious, do you have any other computer user accounts on your system? And if so, is iTunes open inside any of the other accounts?

ITunes will not quit properly in Mac OS X Yosemite - force quit required

I upgraded to to Mac OS X Yosemite last week and have updated all of my other software as the updates became available. Since the update, iTunes has not always worked properly (e.g., recognizing devices when they are plugged in). However, the one consistent bug is that iTunes will not quit. Regardless of how I try to quit the application (menu, dock, computer shut down/restart) it will not quit. No beach ball appears and in the "force quit" menu it does not show as "not responding". In fact, I can still continue to use iTunes after trying to quit the application.
The only way to exit the application is by force quitting. I would prefer to not continue to do this but I have been unable to find a solution.
Thanks,
Alan

HI,
just returned from work and saw that iTunes finally stopped. Don't know how long it took, but it shut down. It also sees know three of my four devices and i just started to update my iPhone to iOS 8.1. Now I have to wait and see what's going on. I will come back and give you a report.

Itunes will not update on my mac

I went to itunes.com, entered my email and hit download. It went to the thank you page that said it had downloaded, but when I went to my itunes nothing had changed and it still would not let me sync to my iphone. How do i fix this?

I am having exactly the same problem- any suggestions anyone?

Itunes will not update to a newer version.

Itunes will not update to a newer version. The error received sates an older version could not be removed.

The error is specifically an older version of Itunes could not be removed.
Many thanks, alex. We'll first try the iTunes variation of my standard instructions, then.
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 on June 25. 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. 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 installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

My itunes will not update. I get a message that is saying that MSVCR80.II Is missing from your computer, Try reinstalling to fix this problem. So when i tried to reinstall, it says itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall error 7 (windows err 126) Then when i tried to reinstall i get this....Service applemovile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveledges to start service...the I see abort, retry and ignore....when I hit retry, it sill fails and i get the same message again. How do I fix it? Will I lose all my music if I delete it all and reinstall itunes? I haven't tried that yet.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Possible that itunes will not update iphone OS while overseas?

hi, im in australia, and i was thinking about getting the iphone 3gs through the local australian network carrier here, however, a friend of mine said that whenever he returns to his home country with the contract phone that he obtained under a plan with yes optus (australian network carrier) he told me that it is not possible to update the phone or download any apps through the local itunes store in his home country. to confirm this rumour, i head down to a 3 (another australian network carrier) retail store to enquire about the plan while at the same time asking about the rumour, a sales person said that it might be possible that itunes will not update an australian phone with an non australian IP address...is this true? because purchasing an iphone and not being able to update it while i too return to my home country would render the phone quite pointless. could someone please get back to me and confirm if this is true and if there is any possible solutions without hacking the phone? ohh and by the way, the network carriers do legally unlock the phones for their customer when anyone needs to go overseas

If your phone is locked to the Australian network, then you can only roam in Malaysia. If it's unlocked, you can get a SIM card from a Malaysian provider.
iTunes, however, is country specific. You cannot access Australian iTunes from another country. For example, I'm in the US, and I can't access iTunes from other countries.
If your phone is unlocked, and you have a local SIM card, you should be able to access your local version of iTunes. No problem.

I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings,

I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings, stating that the requested resource could not be found. Does anyone know how I can download the ipcc file and force an update.

Your iPad may already have the latest carrier settings, especially if you have updated to iOS 4.3.3.

Shockwave will not update properly

Hi. I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home premium, 64 bit system.I use IE and just installed Firefox, as well. I tried to update Shockwave so I could continue to play my UClick jigsaw puzzle game, and my computer says it installed successfully, but it will not work with my jigsaw puzzle. I have uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, but no change in response. When I try to open jigsaw puzzle, the Adobe Shockwave loading graphic appears, but nothing happens.
Help!

I understand the two sites are using different plugins/players. I'm not an idiot. However as Shockwave for Director is so old it's listed by Firefox as an unknown plugin and described as being a Netscape plugin ("Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.1.5.155"), I am merely suggesting that UClick might change to a more recent, robust plugin.

Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2 (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
Please help.
Thank you

HT204406 i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open on this mac. is there a fix for this?

i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open. how do i get it back??

Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:
