ITunes 11 update gone wrong

Ok....so I have been using iTunes 10.7 (or whatever the latest one before iTunes 11 is) on my Windows laptop and it has been working fine ever since i bought my iPhone 5. When my Apple Update told me to update to iTunes 11, I tried to update it and it gave me a red exclamation point and said there was an issue updating iTunes. When I clicked on the file that saved (iTunes64Setup), I clicked “Run” and then a pop-up came up saying:
“An error occurred while writing installation information to disk. Check to make sure enough disk space is available, and click Retry, or Cancel to end the install.”
I click “Retry”, and nothing. The issue is, I have plenty of disk space and I cannot figure out what this means. I have tried everything complicated and simple to try and solve this problem but I can’t figure it out. It’s exhausting and I tried down-grading to a lower iTunes but still nothing. Help, help, help!

This happened to me too after adding another user account on my pc and sharing my library between all windows accounts. I found out that the songs that did not sync where missing the apropriate rights on windows.
E.g.: I used my pc on my own. For sharing my library with my wife, i moved the whole iTunes folder to a seperate partitition. I created an account (windows) for my wife, logged in, configured iTunes to use the library on the new partition and tried to sync her iPod. Yet it started to sync, nothing was synced to the iPod. It just stopped on song number 1.
Going deeper into this, i discovered that her windows account didn't have the windows rights to (although her account is an administrative one and the whole partition was set to "everyone-full access". I added her account and replaced all existing rights (to all subfolders and files). That did the trick.
Be careful when using the windows library (e.g. adding the folder "music" of your iTunes to the music library, so that the new music app on Win8 can play your songs) and sharing them in your home network. This will change the rights on your files again.

  • Another update gone wrong?????

    OK, this is totally ********!
    I updated to the latest iTunes (6.0.2) and the latest iPod update for both my 5G 60GB and my Photo 60GB.
    I don't know which one is the uclprit (iTunes update or iPod update), but now, almost ALL of my ratings, which took me WEEKS to do, are gone! Some of the songs have ratings, and a good many of the songs have a 1/2 star rating! How in the heck does a 1/2 star get in there? It's not possible to do in iTunes or on the iPod.
    Now I've got to re-enter ALL of my Ratings!!!! Play counts and last played seem to be untoched. I'm REALLY MIFFED!

    That's REALLY bugging me as well, becuase I Always make backups of the library files, but I forgot to this time.
    I just wonder why I had so many files with large playcounts but no last played dates, and where the 1/2 stars came from.
    Incidentally, I realized that the library was probably fine, until I synched my 4th Gen Photo. That iPod had all the ratings messed up, but my 5th gen, which I synch almost every day had all the ratings intact..
    It must have been the update to the 4th gen that screwed me up, and when I synched it, it copied the ratings back to iTunes. My ratings were all on the old 4Gen prior to the update, so that must have been it.

  • Smc update gone wrong???

    I have a macbook air 13" mid 2012 with mountain lion, when i tried to install the smc update my fan started to run at full speed, keyboard lights gone, charger light gone, and it wont work without the charger pluss many other things. Any suggestions?

    Try recovery mode:
    1. Start iTunes.
    2. Connect phone to a USB port directly on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
    3. Press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees the phone in Recovery Mode.
    4. Follow the prompts to restore.

  • Update gone wrong

    hi guys,
    i've got a nokia 6300 and while I was doing the update yesterday something has gone very wrong. the mobile phone switched of never to come back to life. every time i try to switch it on the blue lights on the side turn on for a few seconds but nothing appears on the display.
    anything i can do before taking it to a nokia care point?
    many thanks,
    JP 

    no unfortunately there is nothing you can do with your phone besides taking it to nokia care. your phone is based on s40 platform and there are no codes or button sequnece that you can try to revive it. your only option is to take it and have them flash the phone and bring it back for you. sorry mate, i know this is not what you were hoping for. 
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • HT1222 Latest update gone wrong

    I downloaded this last update, IOS 6.1.3 to my phone and the email button crashed.  My email accounts were gone.  I tried to readd both accounts and it won't accept them.  I tried to use the individual apps for the email accounts, no luck.  What gives?

    3 things:
    1: Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
    2: Restore from backup using computer iTunes.
    3. Restore as new without the backup and sync back the content manually.

  • ITunes Match gone wrong! Wiped all my music!

    Just purchased iTunes Match to find that it has wiped all of my non-purchased music from my iPhone! Now all I have left in my phone and cloud is purchased songs! Can I fix this?! What went wrong - I followed the guide!!

    Has the initial scan, match and upload process finished in iTunes? If not simply disable iTM on the iPhone, wait for it to complete then re-enable the service on the iPhone and all the music will be available.

  • IOS8 update gone wrong

    Could do with some help please. While updating my phone to ios8 my laptop decided to shut down (got a dodgy battery and didn't realise the cable had fallen out). When I got back in to itunes my phone had the connect to itunes picture and when I do try and connect itunes just says "The iphone software server could not be contacted", and my phone isn't showing up to access.
    Tried resetting both phone and laptop and nothing so far. At the moment I cant access my phone either through itunes or the phone itself. Any advice greatly appreciated!

    Hi wbabbington,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there may be an issue with iTunes contacting the iPhone software update server from your computer. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve most of the configuration issues that can prevent iTunes from communicating with the update servers.
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes can't contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    I hope this helps.

  • HT4623 Update Gone Wrong!@!$@#$@

    I began updating at home and had to leave. I took my phone with me and it continues updating. I finished updating and it said "verifying update". It gave me that message twice, before going into "restore" mode (USB arrow iTunes). I plugged it into my laptop and it doesn't popup on my computer or asking if I want to open my files. None of the youtube videos are helpful, because I can't power down my phone and can't load the software it says you need. What can I do??????

    Force the phone into DFU mode (search Google) and restore

  • Nokia Software Update gone wrong?

    Hey guys,
    I'll try to be brief enough to avoid boring you. I started this thread off in the wrong forum apparently, and am told this is the correct place.
    Basically, my PC Suite software has been rendered unusable, because every time my device attaches to it, it crashes. It appears to crash every time it synchronizes. And I can't stop it from synchronizing, for example, I destroyed the sync configuration on both the software and on the phone, and it still displays the synchronization complete message on the phone, and the PC Suite software crashes.
    This was all working 100% yesterday.
    I assume the problem has been caused by me updating the phone software, new version tag:
    V 06.01
    20-05-08
    RM-198
    (c)Nokia
    PC Suite software 7.0.7.0
    Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
    The issue is apparent whether I connect the phone using the USB cable, or bluetooth,
    the phone is a 6085
    Thanks in advance for any insight.

    Go to a Nokia Service Point.

  • ITunes installation gone wrong with Vista!

    I can't get iTunes 8 installed on this new PC. Everytime I try to install, Internet Explorer shuts down with no explanation as to why. I am so frustrated.
    I have skimmed through the Apple iTunes on line solutions and MS Windoew Vista on line solutions but just haven't found the answer to my installation problem.
    Anybody else out there run into this roadblock or heard some fixes about it?
    I am looking for any others with this problem and how they got around the install problem before I start calling Apple or MS for tech support.

    Hi Katrina,
    I was trying to download iTunes from the iTunes download site, which looks like the same site in the link you listed.
    When I select "Download" I get a brief flash of a box or window opening in the uper left side of my monitor, then I end up at a new internet web page that is an iTunes, "thank you for downloading iTunes". But then a smaller darn window opens on top of that that says something like "Internet Explorer has stopped working". We are checking for a fix for the problem". Then it changes to no solution is available and you have to cancle out of internet explorer.

  • HT204370 Apple TV iTunes rental gone wrong. No subtitles for French in movie?

    I rented a movie of which a third of it is in French... (The Da Vinci Code)...
    And there's no option for English subtitles in the list of languages and "auto" did nothing and no default sub titles in English during the French conversations.
    *Apple TV*
    $4.99 well spent, thanks Apple.
    Anything I can do for my next movie rental to ensure I can get subtitles? And not ruin a Friday night?

    I've just purchased Apple TV and, I'm disappointed that there are no movie rentals in French and that all of the movies I've checked out don't offer subtitles in French. I thought Apple TV would offer the same features that are available on regular DVDs.
    that is not an appletv issue, but rather an itunes store issue.
    I'm wondering if language and subtitle features are upcoming in ITunes?
    no-one here will know what might be added to the itunes store. this is just a user-to-user support forum.
    Are there, in fact, any French language movies available in ITunes? And so, how do I find them.
    each regional itunes store is different, so it would be impossible for anyone to give an accurate answer unless they were also in the same region as you (and even then they would only have the same access to the store as you do).

  • Nokia 5800 v50 firmware update gone wrong

    Hey guys,
    I installed v50 firmware over the air. I had to uninstall some programs because the update complained of lack of space, so I uninstalled Ovi client and related software and some location aware thing that I don't remember the name.
    Then flashed the firmware... all went well, phone turned on.
    While on the home screen after some seconds I got a message saying that something failed to install (it didn't say what). I still was able to use my phone however, now the camera software doesn't work.
    Any tips ? Do I need to do a hard-reset on the phone and install firmware again ? And how can I do a hard-reset ?
    Thanks a lot!

    Yes, since there is a space problem a hard reset would be a good option before reinstalling. Remember that it deletes everything so make sure you have a backup.
    A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
    1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
    2.) Reinsert battery
    3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
    4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
    5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
    A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

  • IOS 5 Update gone wrong

    So i was one of the people who purchased iOS 5 beta software by supplying my UDID to an internet company. When i tried to update my iPhone it told me that i had the most current/up to date version of the software.
    I then performed a Hard reset of everything on the phone and when i did so, it told me that i was not registered as an apple developer and that i needed to register in order to continue. So currently my phone is in limbo right now with no service provider and im not sure what to do...
    Is there any way Apple can unlock my phone? I am not an Apple developer i was just being curious and wanted to see what the early hype was all about regarding iOS 5 software.
    Any advice is appreciated

    Maybe the "internet company" you purchased IOS 5 beta from can help you.
