ITunes 7.0.1 will not update

Please, please, please help me!
Have recently tried to update iTunes as wish to purchase music. Am currently using iTunes 5 (i know its old!). Everytime i try to update it brings up a small window in the corner of my screen with lots of characters in and saying something about not being able to run in DOS mode.
I have tried everything I can think of....allowing pop-ups, making sure firewalls allow iTunes, disabling anti-virus software and nothing works! Any suggestions?
Packard Bell Windows XP

Looks like you tryed to open a EXE file in Internet Explorer some time ago, and then checked the "Always open with this program" checkbox. Now I think it tries to open the SETUP.EXE to update your iTunes but opens the SETUP.EXE file in Internet Explorer and then stops.
To delete this setting do the following:
Start > Control Panel > Folder Options (Or something like that, Make sure you have the Classic Control Panel enabled)
Then a new Window opens. In that window select the "Filetypes" tab and look for EXE or anything strange that opens with Internet Explorer. Select the setting you want to delete and press "Delete".
Hope this is the problem. It's the only problem I can think off.
Let me know...

Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

HT204406 I purchased an album from itunes, and put it in a playlist. icloud status lists all the songs as purchased, and when I click on "Update itunes Match", this playlist will not update. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name.

I purchased an album from the itunes store, and put it in a playlist. icloud status listed all the songs as purchased, instead of the usual "Waiting". When I clicked on "Update itunes Match", everything updated except this playlist. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name. This has never happened before.
Any ideas?

I deleted the songs from my desktop (iMac), then I used itunes match to reload the songs back on my desktop from my laptop. When they reappeared on my desktop, then I right-clicked on the songs and clicked on the option to add to icloud. This however did not work, and they just duplicated into icloud, but they were "greyed out" and unuseable. I hope I'm explaining myself clearly? In other words, the songs seem to be trying to go into the cloud, but they are greyed out in my library and cannot download. It is as if they are ghosts? My songs do play fine when I transfer them via itunes match, and everything appears normal. They just won't transfer via the cloud. As I said before, every other song in my library always work fine via the could, but only the songs off this one album that I bought from itunes in 07' will not work???

Cant update to iTunes 8.1, Quicktime will not update

I keep trying to update to iTunes 8.1, but every time i do the installer is unable to uninstall quicktime.
It computes the space requirements, then says "The older version of Quicktime cannot be removed" and then it quits.
I have tried to uninstall Quicktime using Windows Add and Remove Programs, but it says that the network resource i am trying to access is unavailiable. It then tells me i can try to locate an alternate path to 'quicktime.msi' but that hasnt worked.
How can i get it to update?
Do i have to remove quicktime file by file?
If not, what do i do?

It sounds as though you need to use the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility to clean up the Quicktime installer files. Here is a method for removal and clean up of iTunes, Quicktime etc:
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

My Iphone 4 will not update to 4.3?

I have everything completely up to date including my computer, and itunes, but my iPhone will not update to 4.3 infact its on 4.2.9 and my itunes says there are no available updates. I'm sad! Also when I added my iphone to the my list, ios 4.2.9 wasn't even available. I am so confused, please someone help me!

Oh, I thought from the phrasing that a Verizon iPhone was a type of iPhone. I'm on O2.
So are there other reasons for not being able to update? Is my iPhone too old? How can I find out?
I'm asking because I want some Apps that require 4.3.

HT4623 My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

My iPhone 4s iOS 7.0.4 will not update music or apps from iTunes 11.1.3. this was true of my pc and the new MacPro.

My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2 (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
Please help.
Thank you

I add songs to itunes, but ipod will not update!

I imported songs onto my itunes library. But when I plug it in the usb to update, it will automatically disconnect after 5 minutes, and the ipod will not update. I've tried adding all music, and just checked songs; both do not not work.
I have version 7.0.0.7
I have about 50% of room left on my ipod.
Any suggestions??

Hello Rex225
The best way to resolve the issue is to remove the music from the iPhone and then download the purchase again using the steps in the following article.
