Itunes 9.2.1 "mounting failed"

After having to reformat the HD on my G4 Powerbook, I reinstalled Tiger and the version of iTunes (4.x) that came on the DVD. After that, I attempted and have been continually attempting to upgrade iTunes to 9.2.1 with absolutely zero luck. My OS is upgraded to 10.4.11. iTunes is currently at version 4.7.1. I downloaded iTunes 9.2.1 from Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056 . The problem I'm having is that every time I do the download, I get an error after download that says "mounting failed". I'm having no other system issues. Other downloads, like the one to upgrade Safari, worked fine with no mounting "failures."
I am at my wits end. Apple isn't being very supportive on this issue (unless I pay them, $49, which I don't have). This seems an awfully simple task that shouldn't be so problematic.
I am desperate. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Oh, I should add that I've completely removed iTunes from the computer, following the Apple support page that tells you how to completely remove iTunes, but, like every other time, this is followed by a 9.2.1 download that fails to mount.
Thanks.

I first tried installing on top the existing 9.2 installation and then removed all of the iTunes/Quicktime programs(including amds) and tried installing again. In both cases AMDS would not install.

Itunes download, "mounting failed"

I am trying to download itunes on my Mac g5 (2005) and i keeps saying "mounting failed" please help!

Too many applications and tasks are currently active on your machine for the mounting process to work; try quitting applications you don't need open, and if that doesn't work, log out and back in.

'mounting failed' when trying to download iTunes8

I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on a PPC G5. I've tried to download iTunes8 (I currently have iTunes7.7, but need 8 for my new iPod), but at the end of the attempted download I get the message 'Mounting Failed'. I have spoken to 4 different operators in 2 different support departments (itunes/ipod support and computer support), but none have been able to help. One even said 'I've never heard of the message 'mounting failed' - perhaps it's a new one I haven't been told about".
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.

After looking at so many places/forums/discussion groups, I could only find one real solution for this problem and that was 'hard reset' your phone.
I have to admit that i used to hate this solution the most but it worked for me, infact I'm a fan of 'backup' + 'hard reset' solution now!
Here is what you need:
1. Backup your data/settings
Backup your device settings/data with Nokia PC Suite/ Ovi Suite.
2. Hard Reset
Switch off the phone.
Press GREEN + RED + CAMERA + ON simultaneously until you see the “Select Country” option.
3. Restore
Restore your device using the same utility you used for backup.
Note:
The default password for hard reset is 12345.
I got all my settings back after I restored my device and the OVI app is working like a charm now!

I tried to update iTunes yesterday. The update failed. Now when I try to open iTunes it says that the version isn't localized and needs to be run in English. It has never been in another language.

I attempted to update iTunes yesterday. The update failed. iTunes now won't open and displays an error message that the program isn't localized and needs to be run in the English version. I'm in the US and the computer and program has never been used in another language. I tried reinstalling the full download for the new version and that failed as well. I logged out; shut down; restarted; retried the update; etc. Still no luck and the same message. Thoughts?

Can't get around "mount failed" - "on error" won't do it - help appreciated

Hi
I'm using this syntax to mount a volume, and it works well if the volume can in fact be mounted:
try
mount volume "afp://username:[email protected]/MyDir"
on error
display dialog "blah blah"
end try
BUT, if the volume can't be mounted because the directory specified is incorrect, I a dialog saying "Mount Failed" opens with the only option being 'OK'. Under some other mount failure circumstances this dialog doesn't appear, and the script does eventually time out and disappear all by itself. But if this dialog appears, I have no option other than to manually press OK. It stays open forever. This dialog appears before the script passes the error to the display dialog part, so it prevents the "on error" part of the script from running. This is the only example I know of where 'on error' fails to let the scripter move on and manage the error.
What I would really like to do is to get the 'on error' functionality to actually work properly, because I can determine the PID of the process using Terminal and could then kill it using a shell script if , BUT none of this is possible because the script never gets to the 'on error' state because a real human must press the dialog's OK. I can't seem to use system events to send anything to it because the whole applescript just hangs at this point until the OK is checked.
Does anyone know a workaround? I've tried using a with timeout step around the whole thing but also won't work.
Thanks for any advice you could give me.
Chris.

I'm having the same trouble, but for different reasons. I was trying to determine a method for examining all the mounted volumes on my desktop and then detecting which mounted volume came from which network server. There doesn't seem to be any way to determine this via any filesystem metadata or anything. The only solution that I could think of was to build an afp url for each server/volume combination for any given mounted volume I wanted to test and then try mount volume on each url (thinking that the on error handler would trap the errors and then I could branch accordingly). Doesn't work. It's interesting that if you try mount volume afp://validerserver/badvolume, you get the mount failed error before your on error handler kicks in. If you try mount volume afp://badserver/validvolume, the on error handler fields the resulting -35 error. If you try mount volume afp://emptystring, you get a connection failed dialog before the on error handler again. Really annoying.
I filed a bug on this.

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.

Downloading dmg file and Mounting Failed ??

i might have messed up with the files on my ibook.
i somehow deleted previous users account and created mine As Admin. ..... however deleted user account is in deleted user folder as dmg file.
now when i log in my account as admin and download something > then Disk copier helper opens > then installation >> and finally Message comes .. Mounting Failed ( error 95 ).
this happened when i tried to download and install dmg file from internt
it also says that there is no file folder to handle this file
How can i fix mounting problem on my User Account as Admin.
thanks

I'm on the same boat. I called Apple Support. They made me clean cache, create a new user, yada yada yada. Nothing helped. Last resort was to re-install OSX Snow 10.6.2
I did so, doing an ERASE then moving files/programs back from Time Machine. Right after OS was just installed, I was able to download anything. After I did an upgrade to the latest combo patch to 10.6.2 I was back in "no download land"
I have Google Chrome (no dice), FireFox (no dice)....
Help! I don't want to have to re-install everything again!

"Mounting Failed" - downloaded driver for HP deskjet 6980

I downloaded the printer driver for my HP deskjet 6980 and when it finished downloading it said that mounting failed. Why would this be?

Hi Kat,
Either a RAM/Hardware issue, Disk needs Repair, or some glith in downloading.
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.

Extract the hard drive from the faulty computer and recover the library from it or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. (At least one link in there may be useful even if you don't have such a device.)
