Itunes 7 upgrade will not install.  Do not have privileges to modify file.

I have been having problems with itunes in that when I open itunes and then close it, my volume is no longer available. So I have been trying to install an updated version of 7.1 but when I try to install it says I do not have permission to modify file. I look at the files that the error code says and they are read-only files. I uncheck the read-only but the file will not STAY as read only and seems to default to read-only.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Heya. I've found some articles that may help you out:
Trouble installing or opening iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93976
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows XP cannot be installed without Visual Basic Script (VBScript)

How to set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308418
Let me know if any of that helps. If not, I am sure I can do some more digging.
Also, do you have an other users/accounts in XP? If so, you may want to try the update in that user. If not, try creating a new user (with admin abilities) and doing the update.

    iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
    Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.

  • ITunes upgrade (10.3.1) does not install.

    iTunes upgrade (10.3.1) does not install.
    It doesn't find the "iTunes.msi" file.
    I tried to uninstall iTunes, but this is not working for the same reason.
    What can I  do?

    It doesn't find the "iTunes.msi" file.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • HT204088 I installed iphone 5 from iTunes backup but still have one app showing [ ! ] not installed can not find file . How do I get rid of this pop up

    I installed iphone 5 from itunes back up and get a pop up [ ! ] app not installed can not find file. I have looked through everything that have with "CANADA" in the app title. That is the only info there is.

    If you haven't found out which app it is then if you go into list view in the Apps part of your library do any of the apps have an exclamantion mark against them ? If they do then they are the one(s) that iTunes can't find the actual app file(s) for - if you delete that app from your library then if it is still in then you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, or you can just download it directly on your phone via the Purchased tab in its App Store app

  • Upgrade would not install (3.6.8) error message Licence file for this version could not be found

    The latest upgrade 3.6.8 downloaded but would not install. Error message read "the licence file for this version could not be found.". Visit Firefox homepage for more info
    == I tried to install the latest Firefox upgrade. Have tried about 6 times

    It can also help if you delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) before installing a new full Firefox copy.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that are locked in any way.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

    What operating system? The duplexer typically must be enabled (just once...) in the driver to make it available.  Enable the duplexer as shown in the Vista/Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide here.

  • Oracle 11g or higher client is not installed or not set to Primary Oracle..

    Hi all,
    I have installed oracle 11g client on my machine. It connecting fine with the server throuhg sqlplus but when i connect my application that is developed in power builder, it prompts an errror message stated 'Oracle 11g or higher client is not installed or not set to Primary Oracle Home'. I have tried different solutions from different posts over the internet but colud not get fruitfull results.
    Please help me out in this regard to continue...
    Thanks & Regards,
    Adil Mukhtar

    As already said, this looks like a powerbuilder issue, related to how it "finds" Oracle client/oci libraries.
    Assuming this is on Windows, you could use Process Monitor from Sysinternals to watch what your app does (e.g. where it looks for dll's). It's a great troubleshooting tool: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    Google provides some results with similar issues. Maybe you have tried most of it already, but at least as a reference for others: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=powerbuilder+%22oracle11g+or+higher+client+is+not+installed%22

    Any suggestions that preserves a simple workflow much appreciated.

  • Error/warning message "you don't have permission to modify files in this network location"

    Hi,
    We have a windows server 2008 running, and we access it via remote desktop. And there's this certain folder that all users access, and where we save important files. So, since this is where important files are stored, we wanted to disable deletion (and if
    possible moving) of the folder and everything under it. However, it's harder than i thought. Right now, we have the permissions "Delete" and "Delete files and subfolders" disabled already, BUT when we try to save a file to this folder,
    we got this warning/error message:
    "You don't have permission to modify files in this network location"
    The file is saved however, but there's no content. But when we try to cut/copy an existing file to this folder, it works.
    Does anyone know how a workaround on this issue. I've already spent days configuring the settings, and when one works, another issue comes up. This is really frustrating.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    What are NTFS Permissions and Share Permissions of the shared folder? If you remove delete permissions, when someone tried to create a new folder, they couldn't rename it. Without Delete permission, we can open, modify a file and save with the same file name
    but cannot create a new file with a new name.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
    NTFS Permissions Question - Allow creation but not deletion

  • ITunes upgrade will not install

    I am trying to upgrade iTunes to the 10.1.2 version. I currently have 10.0.1.22.
    It will not update; halfway through I get a message that says:
    Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually.
    Ok, so I did that, only to get another error message that said:
    iTunes & QuickTime has an invalid signature. The download has been removed.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Yes, same problem. Where is the insert for a graphic so I can show Apple the precise message? "Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually". It doesn't save anything from the previous download attempt, starts from Zero again. That wastes bandwidth and time. Why does it not install properly? Obviously crappy software.
