Install cache error

I'm trying to install itunes 10.6 on windows 7 home premium.  it downloads the software and starts to install.  I receive an error:  "an error occurred while attempting to create the directory c:/program data/apple/installer cache" I click retry several times and no luck so I have to click cancel and it rollsback the installation. I have downloaded a new copy of the installer from another computer and receive the same error.  I dropped the UAC on the system to none.  That did not work, it give me the same error.  I have tried renaming the Installer Cache to a temp name and when installing again, I the error says it doesn't have the permissions to create the directory.  I have gone into the control panel and attempted to repair bonjour, itunes, apple mobile device support, apple software update and quicktime and all of them have reported "The system cannot find the file specified."  I have tried running the install package with the right click Run as Administrator and the install cache error still occurs.  I have check the security on the file and it has my user name and full control on the parent and all items below.
When I plug in my iphone or ipod, it asks about updating to 5.1, I click download only. I then receive an error window "There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone or ipod.  The network connection could not be established"
I don't know if the two problems are related.  I'm at a stand still have have no other ideas of what to try next.  What suggestions might you have to solve this problem?
Thanks for the help!

I tried to rename the apple computer folder to _old and I received another error with another really funky folder name that looked like a SID.  I renamed that and reran.
Crikey. Probably that number (in the folder name) was the SQUID ("squished GUID") for the iTunes installation (or possibly one of the other associated components being installed). In addition to the error 5, that brings us to a total of three of the more exotic things that could possibly happen in this sort of file-access-problem context.
So, excellent work on your part getting past all that. Many thanks for reporting back with your resolution, too.

  • Error writing to install cache

    For testing (of a product using the web server) purposes, I've had occassion to deinstall and reinstall the iPlanet Web Server v6.0 SP 5. I'm also using the iPlanet Directory Server v5.1 and am careful to install it before the web server.
    The first time I in stall all is well. But after I deinstall and attempt to reinstall I am getting error msgs:
    "Error writing AdminPort to install cache" (and 5 other similar msgs about failure to write items to the install cache).
    So far, I've been unable to find any documentation about the install cache or why the install is having problems writing to it.
    Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
    I'm running under Win2000 and have tried the install under the Administrator account.

    Beat:  I ran as Administrator and tried downloading a second program  Same thing.  Then I check I I saw the file was Hidden so I inchecke
    d that.  Same thing.  Then I checked the Nikon D40X folder and tried to explore it.  I got a message that the files were corrupted
    .  So apparently LR3 couldn't get in there.  SO I tried to delete that file.  No good.
    So now what?  What created that file in the first place?  Maybe I have to re-install that program.  Ignoring it as an option doesn't work.  It just ends the installatiopn of LR3.
    Any suggestions?

  • Proactive caching Error while installing BPC 7.0 SP6

    All,
    We are installing BPC 7.0 sp 6 on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (RTM) - 10.0.1600.22 (Intel X86)   Jul  9 2008 14:43:34   Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation  Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 <X86> (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
    In short SQL 2008 Standard Edition. Will BPC 7.0 work with it?
    We tried to install the BPC and recived the "Proactive caching" errors. I know we will need this feature for ROLAP.
    Can we keep Standard Edition and make it work? Or we will need EE of SQL for BPC to work?
    Thanks for your help.

    SQL Server EE is required for all SAP BPC Microsoft versions.
    BPC is using functionalities from SSAS delivery just with EE.
    Proactive caching is one the features available just into EE not into SE. But are also other features used by BPC from SSAS which can be found just into EE.
    It is true that actually just for SSAS we require EE, for all other componetnts we don't really need EE.
    So the installation will work, but of course you will have some limitations coming from Microsoft.
    For example SQL Server SE is able to handle maximum 4 processors.
    RS can not be installed into Web farm if you are using SE
    And many others.
    I hope this will help you to have a bteer view about what is reguired and why.

  • Cache error message in Adobe Bridge CS6

    I am continuing to get a cache error message despite purging the cache several time on different occassion via the Preferences. Adobe Bridge now seems to be frozen on Building Criteria. The platform I am using iMac OSX 10.8.5. I have rebooted the machine a couple of times to no avail. Any advice

    If Windows, search your event viewer for something like "The device \Device\Ide\iaStore0 did not respond within the timeout period." Since this
    is kind of a hardware issue, there might be a similar thing happening on MACs. If you see this warning check what driver you are using for Intel
    Rapid Storage Technology. I was using version 10.x and the latest from Intel is 12.x. Intel cautions you not to use this updated driver without
    checking with the system manufacturer, which in my case, Asus, maintained that 10.x was the latest approved driver. I installed the 12.x driver
    directly from Intel despite the warning, and the problem seems to have been resolved. I post in case this gives someone else a clue to solve
    this nagging problem.
    Oh, this might be particularly significant if you have recently installed a larger hard disk.

  • Default Cache Error on a G4 Quicksilver

    So I've got a G4 quicksilver and it will not boot.
    I tried all the different ways to get it to boot. Holding "c" with a boot disk, checking the battery, unplugging ram one at a time, etc...
    The problem is, when I hold "option" to get into the disk boot option screen, is sees the drives (Operating System Drive & a Boot CD). I select either one, and a which screen pops up and says: "Default Cache Error, type "mac-boot" to boot the computers or type "shut-down" to shut down the computer.
    I've tried every combo and it does one of these things:
    Locks up on black screen
    White screen pops back up and crashes
    Starts loading (apple logo on screen) then the circle slash (ø) pops up like there
    Please help.

  • Itunes install issues error 7 - Windows error 193

    Gents,
    I am using Windows 7, had iTunes for years no issues I couldn't solve myself, this time I need help.
    When the last update of iTunes came on, I tried to update my version but couldn't do the update (I don't remember the error message details, it just said that I had to re-install iTunes).
    So I cleared ITunes and all Apple related softwares from my computer (yes in the recommended order, and yes I rebooted in between) tried to re-installed (numerous times) and I always get the same error messageS:
    "Couldn't install ITunes Error 7 (Windows error 193)" and also "ITunes helper was not installed correctly"
    When running the installer I get the error message "Apple Mobile device failed to start", even if I ignore this message during the install, I am unable to open iTunes once the install is done. (the install goes through and says install finished).
    Note: I also tried to "fix" during the install, it didn't work.
    Context / Trials / Notes:
    - I tried to "repair" the Apple Mobile Device in programs (unsuccessfully)
    - I had 2 Apple Mobile Device services, so after a complete un-install and reboot, I manually (command prompt) remove the last service
    - In all my un-install attempts I went on the C: drive and made sure ALL folders were cleared of apple / iTunes traces. Delete ITunes setup file, empty the recycle bin of course, reboot etc)
    - Windows is up-to-date - No viruses (using Malwarebyte/ AVG & Spybot).
    I am at a loss, spent a lot of hours on the computer and on forums, but couldn't find the fix.
    I would greatly appreciate your help, this is getting on my nerves and I really need to change the music on my iphone ! (lol)
    thank you in advance

    If the above hasn't helped then 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 an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    Disabling your AV during installation may sometimes help.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so arearticularly important:

    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.

  • Install certificate error

    I have been trying for at least a month to install the new iTunes. Every time it gets in the middle of the install it errors out saying there is an invalid certificate.

    I found it. For Firefox it is under Tools / Options / Advanced / View Certificates
    That will only give you a list of Names and Devices. Highlight the one you think it might be then click on view to see the expiration dates.
    Right now I am on a different computer. I will try it later on my iTunes computer.

  • Install Script Error?

    It's Christmas day, and I just got an IPOD Video and tried to install the software for it and ran into a whole mess of problems.
    I tried to install ITunes 7 & Quicktime 7, but every time I try I get an error at the end of the installation saying something about a missing Install Script error and that i need to run "ISScript.msi" or contact support.
    I have no idea what to do, and tried to find that file on microsoft.com, but the onlyint that comes up is "Virtual PC 2004" and not how to install it, but work around it.
    any suggestions?

    The Install script engine on this machine is older than the version required to run this setup. If available, please install the lastest version of ISScript.msi or contact your support personnel for further assistance.
    okay, let's try installing a version 11, using the instructions from the following InstallShield document:
    Update to the Latest InstallShield Installation Engines
    is that one of any help with the error message?

  • The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix?

    The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

  • URGENT Bridge and cache error photo corrupted NEED HELP

    We were going to edit a photo and upon opening it and error came up and said: "edit bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. please try purging the central cache in cache peferences to correct situation"
    We solved the cache problem by purging it but the photo is corrupted! Furthermore, the photo turned red and 1/3 of the photo has been mysteriously turned black!  It only briefly returns to normal after cache problem in adobe bridge. It turns normal but only for a split second!!! WE NEED THIS PHOTO RESTORED TO ORIGINAL CONDITION BEFORE THE CACHE ERROR.
    Thank you for help

    Your photo may be lost, I'm sorry to say.
    Check your Windows System Event log and look for disk errors.  Disks do fail, and if there have been unrecoverable errors you'll see them in the event log.
    A failing disk is not something to be left alone.  I hope you have a recent backup - if not, make one right away, then replace any failing disk drive ASAP, or you chance losing more data.  I always recommend high-reliability enterprise class disk drives such as Western Digital RE4.  They're not that much more expensive, and lost data can be worth a lot.
