ITunes 10.6.1 install failed

The system attempted to automatically update iTunes recently. It failed. I was busy at the time so I didn't really pay any attention to it. Fast forward a few days to now. When I launch iTunes, I am told "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes." I tried to do just that. I downloaded the 10.6.1 installer from Apple and attempted to install it. Again, the installation failed. Below are the Console messages. How do I correct this problem? I have already repaired disk permissions, verified the disk, and rebooted. The most notable things I did recently were:
1) Updated Xcode from the App Store app. When the download and update completed, I accidentally hit the update all button in the App Store app again causing Xcode to start downloading. I immediately paused the download. The paused download disappeared from the App Store app's available updates list but it did appear in Launchpad. I tried to delete paused download from Launchpad and it didn't appear to work but somehow, it is now nowhere to be found in Launchpad.
2) Streamed videos from my MacBook to my new Apple TV. Incidentally, the Apple TV malfunctioned (all icons but Computers and Settings were displayed) and I had to reset it to factory defaults. It works again.

This problem is resolved. I deleted the old iTunes (with write permissions turned on for my account) and reinstalled successfully. Removing the deleted iTunes from Trash was troublesome even with root but after playing around with permissions and flags, I was able to remove it.

  • ITunes 7.6 Upgrade Install Fails - "iPod Service could not be installed."

    My system:
    Windows XP Pro with SP2

    Ran exe from Start / Run
    During the install I receive the following message: "Service 'iPodService' (iPod Service) could not be installed. Verify that you have suffient priliges to install system services."
    Note: I am the system administrator.
    I abort the install and it rolls back. I restart iTunes. At this time a message box pops up stating "Ipod Service. Could not delete service"
    In services I go to iPod Services and it is set to 'Disabled' When I try to set the sevice to Automatic or Manual I can not do so and I get the message: "The specified servoce has been marked for deletion."

    So:
    How do I get iTunes Helper to run again?
    How do I get the iTunes update to version 7.6 to successfully install?
    Thank you for your help.

    Before reinstalling everything, I'm curious if you've ever used your System Configuration Utility on your computer? Click Start > Run and type msconfig. Click OK. Is the option for 'selective startup' selected? If so, click the Startup tab and make sure iTunesHelper and qttask are selected, and then click the Services tab and make sure iPodService and AppleMobileDevice are selected.
    If that is not the case, I would recommend removing everything and reinstalling.
    My recommended technique is as follows:
    Go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
    Remove these applications:
    1. Apple Software Update
    2. Apple Mobile Device Support
    3. iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, either way, it's not needed so we can remove it)
    4. iTunes
    5. QuickTime
    Restart the computer
    Download & Install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Launch the Utility: Start > Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
    Select any of the above mentioned applications, and click Remove
    Restart the computer again
    Download & install iTunes again from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • ITunes 10.4.1 install failed

    I just upgraded to 10.4.1.1  I keep getting a message that "ITunes was not installed correctly" (error 7).  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times with no luck.  I have the 32 bit version of Windows vista.

    Ok, try to do that:
    - First you have to totally uninstall iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software updater...-anything with Apple in the name.
    - Second, open regedit using "run as administrator".
    - Then go to the registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\ S-1-5-18\Components\25E80ACDE408FA340A7FB908F9CCEFFB\90F2D0AC118F4D8448E38C67696 C94A9D (this is the data I see in the screendumps)
    ...and selected the folder 25E80ACDE408FA340A7FB908F9CCEFFB
    Right click & choose permissions
    click advanced, and then the owner tab
    type "administrators" in current owners field and check th box to replace the owner on subcontainer and volumes
    Apply settings and then click permissions tab. Once again, add "administrators" to the list of permission entries, then click edit and check all permission boxes. Also click the 2 bottom boxes concerning the inheritable permissions.
    Click OK
    Now back on the main permissions tab, choose administrators in the group or user name window and then check full control and read checkboxes. Click OK.
    Back in the main regedit window, you should now see keys in the right pane for each subfolder in:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\ S-1-5-18\Components\25E80ACDE408FA340A7FB908F9CCEFFB
    On the menu bar click file > exit
    download and install the new combined iTunes and Quicktime from apple.
    Everything should work fine. I hope this helps.

  • ITunes install fails due to Error Code

    I'm trying to install iTunes and I get the message Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I then have 3 options - Abort - Retry - Ignore which provide no success. If I ignore it the installation process completes however it states that the installation failed 'Error Code 7 (Windows error 126)' re-install iTunes. I've tried running the download as administrator with no success.

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

  • ITunes 12.1.1 Consistently fails to install on WinOS7 SP1

    For the past month and a half I have found that the Apple iTunes update will not install.  I consistently receive an error popup stating "Errors occurred while installing the updates.  I the problem persists choose Tools -> Download Only and try reinstalling manually".  Well I've tried that and the update still will not install.  But since iTunes still works I just run it and check the do not notify me of updates when the option to install appears.  That worked until today when the update appeared on my taskbar and I was given the option of installing iTunes 12.1.1.  Thinking this update may have somehow addressed my earlier installation issues I tried installing and ended up with the same error message I have been seeing for the past month and a half.  So while trying the reinstalling manually method I repeatedly get a result of an iTunes error pop-up stating "Service 'Apple Mobile Service' (Apple Mobile Device Service) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."  Trying to right-click the iTunes6464 installer package to allow it to run as administrator is not listed as an option - this is because the installer never was registered with the system; therefore I am unable to run the installer with administrator privileges that are obviously needed to complete the installation.  Retried without software firewall - same results.  Search for restricted programs/services shows nothing on "Apple Mobile Device Service" (or anything similar).
    I have not changed system settings and previous updates would just smoothly install.  To me there is no plain reason why the sudden change in my ability to install a simple iTunes update.  Is iTunes doing something different?  Perhaps the administrator privileges were assumed to be in place by the time you started the installation.

    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 to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Itunes Error 42404- corepf.pkg install fail

    The Corepf.pkg in the itunes installer is failing to install, causing me to not be able to authorize my itunes account and preventing me from installing apps on my iphone and playing downloaded music. The pkg gets about 80% of the way through the install process. The error message states "The installer could not install some files in "/." I've tried reinstalling itunes and fixing disk permissions to no avail. Any thoughts?

    I have exactly the same problem. I had a support store reinstall all my software after my computer crashed. I now have iTunes 8.2.1 and Quicktime 7.6.2 which as far as I can tell are the most current available. But when I try to play EITHER my own purchased downloaded music OR samples from the store, I get the message "We could not complete your iTunes store request. A required iTunes component is not installed (-42404). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later." I've been trying again later for 2 days but no luck. I repaired all permissions, re-installed Quicktime, and tried every other hint I could find online. 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.

  • ITunes 11.1.3 download fails to install for Windows XP

    Currently have iTunes 11.1.2.32 installed on a Windows XP SP3 PC. Control Panel lists version as 11.1.1.?. After downloading 11.1.3 install fails because "older version can't be removed". Uninstall of older version from Control Panel also fails.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    My iTunes update install failed. Error message says MSVCR80.dll is missing from my comuputer. What is that and where do I get it?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    I've been trying to upgrade to/install Itunes 10.  When trying to do so, I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support.
    Per what I saw as a response to someone else who had a similar issue, I thought a fix might be to uninstall my existing Itunes, then try to re-install the Itunes 10.  I tried that.  However, I still get the same error message.  Now, I have no Itunes.   
    I tried to email Apple, and they have not replied.
    Anyone offer any solutions? 

    me too did you get any help?

When transferring to iPad I get "iTunes Sync 'app name here' Failed to install. Sent to Apple as Bug # 11060939.
