HT4972 ***Urgent: unable to upgrade iTunes ans iOS

My iPad 2 is not receiving any Message to upgrade iTunes ans iOS (while is receiving from games), and i don t find any way to manually start the download in the Apple website. Please help!!!! Thanks in advance, Claudia

iTunes itself can be updated on its own, it can only be updated by updating the whole iOS. If you are on iOS 4 as your tagline suggests, then you can only do update it by connecting your computer's iTunes (when you have iOS 5+ installed then you will get a Settings > General > Software Update option appear which will allow future updates to be done directly on the iPad)
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • Unable to upgrade ITunes - Error 2330

    Has anyone received this error 2330? I can no longer use my Itunes icon and am unable to upgrade itunes.
    Thanks.

    Has anyone received this error 2330?
    That one is usually caused by a damaged program file, or disk damage in the vicinity of that file.
    A 2330 error message usually cites a specific file and the file path of that file, including the drive that the file is stored on. Try running a chkdsk over the drive with the drive letter mentioned in the 2330 message.

    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, does an iTunes install go through properly afterwards?

    Jus tconnect your iPhone to your computer and update it in iTunes.
    Update your device using iTunes
    Ensure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.

    After iTunes opens, select your device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.

  • Unable to upgrade iTunes 10.1 or add new user

    I have iTunes 10.1.0.56 installed on a Windows 7 PC.  Whenever I try to upgrade to any newer version, the installation stalls.  The dialog box says that the program is trying to use a resource that is unavailable, then it prompts me to try to find the folder containing iTunes64.msi, which is the installation program itself.  One of the suggested locations is "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"; another is C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 10.1.0.22\ which was probably the first version I loaded after I bought the PC.  I have tried over-writing the version number; I have also found temp folders in cache from previous upgrade attempts, but none of those folder names work.  I keep getting the message that (whatever) is not a valid installation package.  Eventually I have to cancel the upgrade.
    iTunes works fine for me and my children on our respective user profiles.  We all have iPods and used iTunes regularly.  My wife up to now is a non-iTunes user but she just got an iPod Classic for her birthday.  However, when she launches iTunes from her profile, the installation program launches and then stalls with the same error messages as above. So she can't use iTunes and without having her own iTunes account, her iPod is useless.
    I have seen this problem or similar issues discussed on other boards, mainly involving older versions of iTunes and/or Windows.  I have pretty much the latest of both but can neither upgrade iTunes or set up my wife as a new user.  Can somebody out there help me??  Thanks!

    I also encountered the same problem.
    and yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10.1.1 bla bla blahhh....
    Same issue!!! itunes cannot open cuz the mobile device support not started etc..
    but when reinstalled prior itunes version 9.2 its gone
    and issue fixed.
    i can sync my 3G.
    but not my 4G. it says you need to upgrade to 10.1 or above
    spending the whole night to fix the problem which never occured b4
    i finally find out one thing.
    pl keep in mind im not a computer exprt
    i tried this and it worked, i don know what fixed it, bt it works
    try this at your own risk. some comp genius will tell us weather this way is right or not.
    ok. lets start...
    in your desktop make a new folder. name it Kmh_\CoreFP
    try uninstalling the newer version 10.1
    only the itunes not other mobile div suprt, application suprt etc.
    dont mind the following order:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    and reinstall itunes 9.2
    go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    you wil find a folder named "CoreFP"
    copy it and paste to Kmh_\CoreFP
    uninstall itunes 9.2
    and reinstall itunes 10.1 again
    go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    you wil find folder named "CoreFP"
    find the difference in properties comparing the one u stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
    ok delete it and replace it with the one we stored stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
    restart the computer and start itunes now
    what happens?
    best of luck.
    -Kmhm63
    reinstall the newer version 10.1
    I would suggest that you revert back to prior working version until Apple comes out with an update that fixes what 10.1.1 broke.

  • Unable to Upgrade iTunes to 11.0.3 as the Mac OS Can't "See" the Upgrade

    I'm currently trying to upgrade iTunes 11.0.2 (25) to 10.0.3.  I'm using OS X v10.8.3.  When I launched iTunes today, the application informed me via a pop-up window that said a new iTunes version was available and would I like to download it now.  I selected "Don't Download" as I figured I could do this later.  This afternoon, I went into iTunes and selected "Check for Updates."  This same pop-up appeared, and I selected "Download iTunes."  Choosing this option launches the App Store. Unfortunately, the app tells me there are "No Updates Available."  How can I get my system to "see" the upgrade and download it?
    Thank you!

    You can download it manually from: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • Unable to upgrade itunes or Quick Time

    I recently transferred all my data and programs to a new hard drive. Since then I have been unable to run itunes. The message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". When I try to delete itunes so I can reinstall it I get the following two messages:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable
    The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it".
    Any ideas.

    "+unable to delete older version of quick time" "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" "enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Quick Time.msi'".
    With those symptoms, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?
    THIS WORKED FOR MY SYSTEM. I have now reloaded both iTunes and Quick Time. THANKS

  • Unable to upgrade iTunes due to network error, wont read .msi file

    Hi
    I'm trying to upgrade iTunes on my windows PC and during the installation I get an error message saying "A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\windows\installer\itunes.msi".  Also when I plug my ipad in to the PC to synch with itunes - it will not read the ipad until I have updated the itunes.
    Help please.

    (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 iTunes 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?

  • I am unable to upgrade iTunes in Windows XP, please advise

    I attempt to upgrade ITunes on my PC and I never receive the exe file on my desktop I need to do the upgrade. Please advise.  Thanks.

    There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded.  As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (32-bit) - itunessetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
    There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer).  The "for older video cards" reference does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.
    See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.

  • HT4972 How do I upgrade iPad to ios 4?

    How can I upgrade my iPad to a newer ios ?

    See
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Upgrading iTunes and ios

    I am trying to upgrade my iOS to 5.1 from 4.3.  I get a message to first download a newer version of iTunes.  I download the file but when I install I get an error message.  I am in Panama so the message is in Spanish.  Here is the google translation: 
    errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, select type tools. Just download and install manually.
    How do I install the upgrade manually?  I have found the files that were updated yesterday when I tried the upgrade but they do not install.
    Thanks

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  the ONLY exception is itunes purchases.
    The songs from cd came from your computer in the first place, so they should still be there and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • Unable to upgrade itunes or ipod software

    Although I receive notification of upgrades that are available, I am unable to see an upgrade button to click on on the iTunes download page

    To see the download button in the left part of this page
    http://www.apple.com/iTunes/download/
    you have to enable port 443.
    Your firewall or other blocking software might prevent that.
    If you don't know how to enable port 443, I suggest you post your question in the iTunes for Windows Discussion. You will probably get more help for Windows there, than in this Discussion (iTunes for Mac).

  • How do I recover uploaded songs from CD's after upgrading Itunes and Ios from external drive with older Itunes version?

    I upgraded to the newest version of Itunes on a new PC and the latest version of the IOS operating system for my Iphone 3GS and lost all of my songs that were uploaded from CD's.
    Prior to the upgrade I tried to synch and got a message that I need to save all purchases of songs and apps otherwise I would lose them.  I did and they saved.  However all of the music that I uploaded off of CD's were not transferred.  No matter what I did to get that music transferred from Iphone to Itunes prior to the upgrade it would not upload so I did the upgrade.  All of my apps and purchased Itunes successfully went back onto my Iphone but all of my music that I loaded into Itunes are gone from Iphone and Itunes.
    I had saved all of my songs on an external drive in an older version of Itunes.  I would like to plug that in tonight and see if I can get those songs loaded onto my iphone but now am worried that it will try and synch what is on the Iphone into that version and erase all of my songs.  Also I am afraid that any newly purchased songs directly onto the Iphone will be lost if I get all of the old data back.
    What do I need to do?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  the ONLY exception is itunes purchases.
    The songs from cd came from your computer in the first place, so they should still be there and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • Unable to upgrade iTunes -- please help!

    Hi there -
    I am having trouble upgrading to iTunes 9.0.2
    It comes up with a message saying something along the lines of:
    the older version of itunes cannot be removed, please contact tech support
    contacting tech support is unfortunately even more long-winded than copying all my music into a new folder, manually deleting all reminents of my old iTunes and then downloading the newest iTunes, so if anyone's got any ideas about what's causing this to happen or any way to fix the problem in a simple way, then all help is greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    - Nikki

    It comes up with a message saying something along the lines of:
    the older version of itunes cannot be removed, please contact tech support
    Doublechecking the nature of your problem, nikki. Prior to that message, do you also see one saying that the "itunes.msi" file cannot be found?
