I am getting an error message when I try to update to the new iTunes version

I am having issues updating to the new iTunes Version 11.4

To everyone that is having this problem:
I just ended a 2 hour session with Apple Tech Support.  We had to take it to a level 2 support person, but finally got it running.  Here's what she had me do.  Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.  Uninstall ALL Apple products on the Computer.  This inccluded Apple Mobile Device Itunes, Bonjour and Quicktime.  I doubt if we would have had to but she had me download a fresh copy of iTunessetup.exe and run it.  iTunes came up and ran on version 11.1.4.  Then I reinstalled Quicktime.
It is my personal opinion that there is a flaw in version 11.1.4.  You shouldn't have to go through all of these hoops just to update a single application that was working fine proir to the update attempt.
That's what worked for me.  Hope this helps you.  Any questions, get back to me.
Good Luck.

  • I'm getting an error message when I try to update my Photoshop.

    When updating my Photoshop C5S software, I get an error message. That error provides a hyperlink that tells me my software serial number isn't listed. But, then when I check my Adobe ID and profile, I see that it IS listed.
    I just wanted an update to help work through some issues I've been having when I work with larger graphic files.

  • Why do I get an error message when I try to update to iCloud 4 on my PC?

    Why do I get a "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package .... " when I try to update to iCloud 4?

    There is a very long way which is removing anything related to Apple including stuff in the registry.
    The short way is as follows. It worked for me. I got rid of ICloud 3.1 and installed version 4.0 on the first try.
    I have seen that in the forum EXCEPT the registry trick which is missing and does the difference.
    1. Remove the Apple account from Outlook.  In my case a me.com account.
    2. Disconnect the connection to ICloud in the control panel of version 3.1.
    REBOOT and open Outlook to see that all traces of the email account and of ICloud are gone.
    3. Uninstall ICloud 3.1. I used REVO Uninstaller in Safe way mode. It removed some stuff in the registry from what I see; but not sure.
    4. Delete as much stuff as possible in the C \Program Files (x86) \Common Files \ Apple
    and C\Program Files\Common Files \Apple.  My computer is 64 bits.
    5. Go to the registry by typing regedit.exe or simply type regedit in the Start Box. Search for ICloud.  I deleted TWO entries related to ICloud. Otherwise, you will still see the ICloud control panel despite the fact that you removed 3.1.
    6. then I was able to install ICloud 4 immediately.  Upon restarting it asked me my email and password and added itseft to Outlook like it was before. Be aware that you address book in Outlook could be deleted, so do an export before.

  • Getting an error message when they try to log into the Discussion Board

    I know this is not MacBook related, or maybe it is, since I have a MacBook. Anyway, this is the Discussion board I visit the most, so I thought I would post here.
    When I try to log in to the Discussion Board, I fill in my User Name and Password and press the Log In button and then the next screen comes up with an error message. I have successfully logged in, but I am not taken back to the Discussion Board I left. This is the message:
    "Error
    An error has occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience.
    Useful links:
    * Forum Home -- browse the forums here.
    * Search Forums -- visit the search page to query all forum content."
    Is anyone else seeing this? If so, how do I correct it? This is happening on Safari 3 and also with Camino. Thanks.
    Thom

    Hi all,
    just as a hint:
    There is a whole Forum for things related to the Discussion Board.
    See here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1076
    As for the error you get, I get it also.
    According to the a.m. Forum, Apple knows about this error and is trying to fix it.
    Have Fun
