Invalid Drive: H:\ error message when downloading iTunes 8.0.2

For some time now, I've been trying to upgrade to the 8.0.2 version of iTunes. I get almost to the end, when I get an error message that says "Invalid Drive: H:\" and then I can't download it. I've tried to figure out the problem, but I have no idea what to do. I'm afraid to remove iTunes altogether and then try downloading it because I don't know if I'll be able to download it then, and if I can't then I won't have the program at all. Any suggestions?

If you are having problems, it is best not to use "Upgrade" in iTunes. DOwnload the installer from the APple site:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
SAve the installer onto your desktop rather than running it from your browser.
Then you can upgrade manually using the installer you saved.
That won't solve your problem, but it simplifies things.
You can often get round the invalid drive message by providing iTunes with the drive while you are installing. DO you know what comes up as drive H:, maybe a camera or external drive?
If you don't have something that comes up as H:, maybe you could plug in a memory stick and allocate drive H: to it.
This article about something else contains instructions for allocating a drive letter.

  • Invalid Drive G:/ error message when trying to download I-Tunes 9

    I have had problems trying to download the last two versions of I-Tunes but as my ipod classic was working wasn't bothering.
    I just recieved an Ipod Nano 5th Generation for Christmas and when I plug into computer states that it needs newer version of I-Tunes.
    I go through all the process then just at the end of installing I get a message saying 'invalid drive:/G'
    I can't use my new ipod or get the latest version of I-Tunes as get error message every time.
    HELP !

    Hi Any,
    I have been getting a similar error when it gets to the quicktime phase, it says invalid G drive.
    I found some help on the web that if you go to start and run at the command prompt, type the following: "Subst G: C:\". This gets me further in the installation, but I end up getting an error that says "the specified path is too long G:\lib". At that time, my only option is to cancel out. I have tried starting in my dock with external drive plugged in and thumb drive too to avoid having to use the SUBST command. When I do it this way, I get a different error, 2869.
    I have tried just installing quicktime separately, but does not work either. Give it a try, maybe it will work for you differently. let me know your outcome, maybe you will encounter something that will help me too.

  • TS3212 Error Message when Downloading iTunes 10

    When attempting to download itunes for windows (Windows XP), I get the following error message, "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation," so I am unable to complete the installation.  Any suggestions?

    many thanks.
    Okay ... something may just have gone screwy with the permissions for your usual Windows user account. Unfortunately, that's a bit trickier to deal with on an XP system than on a Vista or 7 system.
    Let's first try installing from inside a different Windows user account.
    Create a new Windows user account with full administrative rights.
    Log out of your usual user account, and log into the new user account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between the accounts.)
    Try installing iTunes from inside the new user account.
    If it installs, log out of the new account and log into the usual account.
    Does your iTunes launch in there?

  • Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts.  Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  Doesn't happen every time.  Using Windows 7.  What can I do?

    Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts.  Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  Doesn't happen every time.  Using Windows 7.  What can I do?  The files seem to be there but I don't know if they are being backed up to cloud.

    Hi, DickmoAZ.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder.  Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

    This worked for someone
    I had this problem for about six weeks. I was following this forum but was too unsure of what might happen to try the fixes that were suggested.
    About two weeks ago I decided to delete the downloads.28.sqlitedb file (usingDiskAid(a free program), on a PC running Windows 7). The original downloads.28.sqlitedb was 936 KB. The new one that the system created is 80 Kb., and has stayed at about that size. After about four days I also deleted all the other contents of the Download folder. Ten days later and still no more problems. Downloads are much quicker, nothing greys-out (as was happening frequently before).
    Everything has worked well since with no more error messages.
    I am using an iPod 4G, iOS 5.1 (originally iOS 5.0). I do not have a manifest file, and as far as I know, have not had one. DiskAid can search the whole "hard drive" on the iPod.
    Deleting downloads.28.sqlitedb and the contents of Downloads worked for me.

  • Error message when updating Itunes...can not open Itunes program

    I am recieving error message when updating Itunes for my computer.  The error message reads "MSVCR80.dll is missing and the other error message reads Error 7  (Windows error 126)"  I can not open my Itunes.  I have reloaded the Itunes onto my computer but still have the same error messages.  Please help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
