Instller cant make "C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\Quicktime

My girlfriends computer (Inspiron 1440; Windows 7) was running iTunes fine for awhile. the upon an update it started to get the 2330 error. a disk check worked once, but it soon reverted back to the 2330 error. so here we were unable to install or uninstall iTunes + QT. upon the advice of another post we got a 3rd party uninstaller (Revo Uninstall Pro) and successfully (it seems) uninstalled iTunes + QT. then when we tried to run the installer again we received this error: "an error occurred while attemping to create the directory: "C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\Quicktime"<version#>. I'm no noob when it comes to trouble shooting computers and using the internet and forums for problem solving (however i haven't been in the windows world since XP), but i'm finding little to no info on this issue. Some of the only things i have found suggest permission issue, but it's running under the Admin with the UAC off.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated on this seemingly obscure issue.
thanks in advance

"an error occurred while attemping to create the directory: "C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\Quicktime"<version#>.
I'm suspecting disk/file damage again, as per the the 2330, rocklebee.
If a disk check isn't cleaning that up, the following workaround might help.
First we'll need to adjust some view settings. (I think ProgramData might be hidden by default on Windows 7.)
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Now, in Computer open your C drive.
Open the ProgramData folder.
Open the AppleComputer folder.
Attempt to rename the Installer cache folder *Installer CacheOLD.*
If you can rename her, reboot the PC and try another install. Does it go through properly again?

  • C:\programdata\apple computer\installer cache doesn't exist

    I can't uninstall or upgrade QuickTime.  The installer alerts with "Error getting file security: C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\  GetLastError: 5".
    The C:\ProgramData\ directory doesn't exist on my system (Win 7 Prof 64 bit on Dell laptop).
    How can I get this program uninstalled and/or upgraded?
    Thanks

    It will most likely be there. (It's hidden by default on a Windows Vista or 7 system.)
    The 5 suggests either permissions trouble or file damage. Perhaps let's first try checking on disk damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why does my file requiring ActiveX cant run in my Apple computer?

    Why does my file requiring an ActiveX cannot run in my Apple computer?

    Active X is chiefly a Windows > Internet Explorer browser based function and there is no Internet Explorer for OS X.
    The only way you can run this Active X script is install Windows into Apple's BootCamp dual boot partition solution or by running Windows in a virtual machine program in OS X itself.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • Old versions in Installer Cache

    While cleaning up my Dell Laptop, I noticed in Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data .... an Apple Computer/Installer Cache directory. It is > 500 Mb of old iTunes/QuickTime/Safari information. Can I safely clean this out? Do I need to just keep the current version of each of these programs? It's an old laptop with a small disc and I could really use space.
    Thanks.

    I've deleted them from my PC.

  • I want to make a new Apple account separate from my parent's account, will I be able to keep my previously purchased apps from their account if the files are on my computer?

    The title says it all. I use my parent's account for my iTunes on my laptop currently, and I would like to make my own Apple account. My question is if I will still be able to use the applications and games that I downloaded [purchased] while using this computer. All of the files for the apps are on this computer, I'm just not sure if I will be able to put them on my iPod [2G] once I make the account.
    Thanks in advance

    You can't delete an account, only iTunes Support can potentially do so, but you would lose all of the account's purchases if they do so - all downloads are tied to the account that downloaded them, they cannot be transferred to another account.
    If you do create a new account then there are instructions on this page of how to do so without giving credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method.

    I cant download itunes on my computer because it says " service 'apple mobile device' failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. what does this mean? how do you verify this?

    I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
    Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
    Error 1053  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
    Can anyone please help?
