I updated my iphone 5 through Itunes but an error occurred during installation on the phone that read -42110. Now the phone has a usb icon and itunes icon and is not recognized by itunes or my computer (windows 7). I uninstalled and reinstalled. no luck

I attempted to update my iphone 5 through itunes. Itunes backed up the phone. However, when it tried to install the updated software an error message displayed -42110. Now the iphone is unresponsive with a usb icon with an arrow pointing to an itunes icon. The computer makes a connection noise when I hook the phone to the computer but it does not appear to be recognized. It does not appear in the My Computer section. Itunes does not recognize it either. I disabled my security software. I uninstalled itunes, Bonjour, Quick time, apple updates, Aplle mobile updates ect. I reinstalled Itunes and the program still does not recognize the phone.

If you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 exactly. Check and make sure.  If you did, then try this support document to get the phone into the Recovery mode. It may take more than one try. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • ITunes 11.1 - "Error occurred during installation"

    Right. So, I updated my iPod to iOS 7, same as most everybody here and attempted to sync to my iTunes. However, I recieved a message saying that iTunes needed to be updated to 11.1 before I could even do that again. Simple enough, clicked on the "Search updates" under help, and set everything to install. When I got to the iTunes portion, however, everything closed out mid-updated. The window said "Installation Completed", but read that an error had occurred during installation. I tried to sync again, sure enough, no change.
    So, I checked around the internet for answers. Saw a common reccomendation to uninstall the current iTunes and install a download directly from the website. So, I followed suit with the same procedure--and, sure enough, I recieved the exact same error.
    I've tried to restart the computer and perform the install, scanned for any system errors, shut down and booted back up, used a secondary username, but nothing doing. Mind you, I'm not about to accept that I'm locked out of some of the most basic functions of something i paid two hundred and fifty dollars for. So, what needs to be done to fix this?

    Hello there, LandersmanIV.
    Properly uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes can be a tricky venture. I would recommend reviewing the following Knowledge Base article for guidance:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP

    If you're on Windows 7/8 there is a referral link at the beginning that you can click to follow.

    Also I now can`t access any of my itunes library and am concerned that if I remove it from my computer I will lose everything as I have no option of accessing and therefore backing anything up. Any ideas?

  • Itunes 11.1.1 Errors occurred during installation...

    Errors occurred during installation before Itunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installatoin, run the instaler again. Click Finish to exit the installer. I've tried re installing iTunes 11.1.1 multiple times and I've redownloaded the file. Has this happend to anyone? If so what was the resolution to fix it? Thank You [:

    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.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Errors occured during installation before itunes could be modified.... run the installer again

    Itunes says I need a version 10.7 or higher for my iphone 5 so when I go to upgrade/install the latest from the website I keep getting a message "errors occured during installation before itunes could be modified.... run the installer again" any ideas?

    iTunes doesn't yet provide support for Windows 8. Some can get it installed others not.

  • Trying to install iTunes and get this error: "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured   Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"

    HELP!!!
    I am trying to install iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop and get this error:
    "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured   Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"
    Arghhhhh!! I've tried different browsers and various other things suggested on other posts to no avail  

    Ok people, I think I have found the solution !
    If you click on the start button from your desktop screen.
    Then in the "search programs and files" field type : apple software update - you can find the apple installer.
    Click on the apple software update line and let the machine run it's course. I recommend updating whatever it wants to , ie: safari 5, quicktime, itunes....
    I then restarted my computer and it seems to be working now !
    Good luck everyone !

  • Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

    Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

    I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

  • MacBook Pro running Leopard has suddenly thinks audio CDs are blank.  Also not recognized in Itunes.

    MacBook Pro running Leopard has suddenly thinks audio CDs are blank.  Also not recognized in Itunes.  What should I do to determine whether it's a hardware or software problem? Or is there something unusual about these CDs?

    I have the exact same issue.DVD's work perfectly, but audio cd's have stopped working.  I think it's pretty recent, but can't confirm it because i don't use audio cd's daily. So I think it might be software related instead of hardware related. I Have a Macbook pro 15" mid 2009 running the latest OSX release.
