Itunes 10.5 won't install becuase it is unable to install some temporary file

I was attempting to upgrade from 10.4. the upgrade was un-sucessful and now Itunes will not work nor will it un-install

I had this problem and struggled quite a bit with it, it was beyond frustrating!
I finally did the following to get it to work:
1) I completely uninstalled everything Apple related.. iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, etc. reboot the computer so everything is out of memory, cache etc...
2) I plugged in my apple device and installed the drivers for the device (in my case it was an iPhone), and then rebooted.
3) When started up, I got a notice that I needed to update my apple installations, from Apple Software Update, which was essentially the same thing as installing everything fresh as I had previously taken everything off my computer
4) When I ran all of the installations from the Apple Software Update then I had no problems at all. This is the key to the solution...to run it from Apple Software Update, vs downloading the installation off of the website.
I am not sure if plugging the device in first helped or not, and/or if you could just pull down apple software update from the website, but that was what I did, so I thought I had better list it.
Hopefully this works for others, as I was at the end of my rope. It appears that the download from the Apple website has some sort of glitch for Windows 7 64 bit that the Apple Software Update does not.
Good Luck!

Hi sandeep2911
Because you are using an unlocked BlackBerry, the device software is limited to what the original provider has released. Let me know who your original provider is and I can see what the latest version of software available is.
Alternatively, you can plug in your BlackBerry to your PC and go to www.blackberry.com/update to install the latest software available.
Thanks

My ipod is frozen and it tell me to connect to itunes but it won't connect becuase i have a passcode

well my ipod touch is frozen and it keeps on telling me to connect to itunes. I connected to itunes but it won't let me connect because i have a passcode. What should i do?

Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

HT5639 Unable to install windows 8 in my Macbook pro 13" .. after the upgrade ..:(

I have updated my Mountain Lion (10.8.3) yesterday .. which includes the latest Bootcamp update which allows the user to install Windows8.
Am unable to install Windows8 .. "Windows 8 is not supported on this Mac" .. My MacBook Pro is ..13-inch, Mid 2010.
Any idea ????

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 Mid 2010 and newer MacBooks Pro support Windows 8, except the Mid 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro, so unfortunately, you can't install Windows 8 officially on your computer.
However, Windows 8 is completely compatible with your computer, but Apple didn't want to provide compatibility for your MacBook. There are some guides in Macs forums (I think there's one here) that helps you to install Windows 8 on your unsupported computer through Boot Camp, installing the Boot Camp drivers, too. Do that at your own risk

Unable to install Acrobat 7.0

After multiple install/uninstalls, I am unable to install Acrobat 7.0. I have cs2 and windows xp. The other programs (GoLive, Illustrator, etc) appear as install options but the Acrobat 7.0 does not. (It is greyed out).
Can anyone assist me on this?
thanks much.

There is a process for the Acrobat installation with CS that is a bit different than the stand-alone Acrobat as I understand it. It might be worth asking in the CS forum. I think you have to open one of the CS products, like PhotoShop and activate that, and then install Acrobat and activate it -- but that is an attempt at pulling the solution out of my lame memory.

Unable to install n73 themes

Hi
Can anybody help me on this. I installed beautiful themes on my N73 & then i delete them. Now, i'm tried to re install themes it said "unable to install". I even formatted my memory card twice & formatted my phone but still doesn't work. I changed the date to the last year but still cannot. Can anybody please help me out on this. I would be really thankful.

It happens because the phone has a log file stored somewhere in c:/private (or in another protected folder). if you want to reinstall a theme you need to use unsis and extract the folder to put into private/10207114/import/
that's the only way i know...
so, let start:
A ) Download Unsis for 3rd Edition http://www.pietropaschino.com/Varie/Tutorials/UNSIS/UnSIS_v2.5.zip
B ) You'll need the usb cable for connecting phone to pc
1. Install unsis to your PC and open it
2. choose "Open SIS" on bottom left
3. choose the theme you want to reinstall
4. click on "Extract"
5. after a few seconds (sometimes more ) it'll be "Completed"
6. you can now close the program
7. go into the PC installation folder (usually C:/Unsis)
8. there should be a folder called "Temp"
9. inside you should find "private"-> "10207114"-> "import"-> "some folders (just one ifyou extracted just one theme) with different names (numbers and letters in most cases)"
10. go inside the folders and search for the one of the theme you are interested in, there'll be 4 files:
a ) NameOfTheFolder.ini
b ) NameOfTheTheme.mbm
c ) NameOfTheTheme.mif
d ) NameOfTheTheme.skn
11. ok? now, leave this folder open and connect phone to pc using the usb cable
12. choose "Mass storage" option. Note: you can also insert memory card into a memory card reader
13. in your phone, find the folder called "private" . If you don't see it, you need to choose the visualization of hidden files and folders
14. in the "private" folder, find "10207114" folder and then "import" folder
15. in "import" there are your themes, here you should find the themes you installed into the memory card
16. don't close this folder but come back to the folder where you extracted the theme with unsis
17. just click "back" so you can see your folder selected into the "import" folder
18. choose all the folder and select "copy"
19. go back to the "import" folder in the phone's memory card
20. right click and "paste" into the "import" folder
21. here we are, now your theme is again in the memory card
22. just restart the phone and check that the theme is in the themes menu list, if it isn't, you'll need to repeat the recovery process.

I purchased songs on Itunes at various times and months and I am unable to play some of them. The display says unable to locate file and has a upside down "i." Can anyone help?

Hi 11201019,
It sounds like you have a question about the exclamation point (!) next to some of your songs in iTunes. Here is an article that can explain what this means:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Symbols used in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12306
Exclamation point
Next to a song: The song can’t be located; it may have been moved or deleted.
Next to a podcast: Recent episodes haven’t been downloaded because you have multiple unplayed episodes.
You will want to use the following article to help you address this issue with missing songs:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Since you mentioned that these are purchased items, you may also want to try re-downloading said purchases:

Nokia Social 1.3 "Unable to Install"

I use my Social app & widget frequently throughout the day. A few hours ago it forced me to download version 1.3 and when it went through the install process it said "Unable to Install." I still cannot access the social app without the forced upgrade and the upgrade keeps failing. I've also tried updating with software updates and it is not showing up. In addition I downloaded it on my PC, transferred it to my N8 and attempted a reboot and install, still "unable to install." Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Crazy stuff but I got it to finally update. I don't know what was necessary and what wasn't but here's the procedure I followed.
1. Uninstalled Social App
2. Downloaded Social 1.1 on pc using http://nmota.messaging.nokia.com/clients/Social_1_1_update.sisx
3. transferred to N8 and installed
4. rebooted when prompted.
5. placed widget on homescreen
6. opened social from widget
7. entered facebook credentials when prompted
8. hit "exit" rather than "update"
9. downloaded social 1.2 on pc using
http://nmota.messaging.nokia.com/clients/Social_1_2_update.sisx
10. transferred to N8 and installed
11. rebooted when prompted
12. downloaded social 1.3 on pc using http://nmota.messaging.nokia.com/clients/Social_1_3_update.sisx
13. Installed and it now works

N73 unable to install themes

I've just tried to install some themes to my n73, they had been previously installed but were on a memory card which ive since reformated and replaced with a larger one, so I've tried reinstalling them.
everytime I try installing, it comes up saying they arent compatible with the model, even though i used them previously, and if i choose to install anyway i get a message once the install bar fills saying Unable to install.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Cheers

Hi all, a lot of people asked me how to reinstall themes
because they disappeared from apps manager and are not in the memory, but can't be reinstalled. Here is a brief tutorial, hope it'll be helpful.
Just a thing: it's a bug of the OS, not of the themes!!!
that happens because phone has a log file stored somewhere in c:/private (or in another protected folder). if you want to reinstall a theme you need to use unsis and exctract the folder to put into private/10207114/import/
that's the only way i know...
so, let start:
A ) Download Unsis for 3rd Edition
http://www.pietropaschino.com/Varie/Tutorials/UNSIS/UnSIS_v2.5.zip
B ) Take the usb cable for connecting phone to pc
1. Install and open unsis
2. choose "Open SIS" on bottom left
3. choose the theme you want to reinstall
4. click on "Ectract"
5. few seconds (some times more ) it'll be "Completed"
6. you can now close the program
7. go into installation folder (usually C:/Unsis)
8. there should be e a folder called "Temp"
9. inside you should find "private"-> "10207114"-> "import"-> "some folders (just one ifyou extracted just one theme) with different names (numbers and letters in most of cases)"
10. go inside the folders and search the one of the theme you are intereted, there'll be 4 files:
a ) NameOfTheFolder.ini
b ) NameOfTheTheme.mbm
c ) NameOfTheTheme.mif
d ) NameOfTheTheme.skn
11. ok? now, don't close this folder and connect phone to pc using the usb cable
12. choose "mass storage". Note: you can also insert memory card into a memosy card reader
13. find the folder called "private" . If you don't see it, you need to choose the visualization of hidden files and folders
14. in the "private" fodler, find "10207114" folder and then "import" folder
15. in "import" there are your themes, here you should find the themes you installed into memory card
16. don't close this folder and come back to the folder where you exctracted the theme with unsis
17. just click "back" so you can see your folder selected into the "import" folder
18. choose all the folder and select "copy"
19. go back to the "import" folder into the memory
20. right click and make "paste"
21. here we are, now your theme is again in the memory
22. just restart the phone and control if theme is ok, if there is not in the theme menu, something get wrong and you need to repeat the recovery process

Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.
