Itunes auto update broke itunes

Apparently itunes just auto updated and installed a version update that isnt compatible with my mac. I am still running snow leapord on an old mac mini.
It was fine for updating my iphone recently, but then this update downloaded adn installed apprently without checking to see if the computer and OS was up to date.
Anybody else get this on old computers?
Does anyone know how to go backwards?
Thanks
Jason

forgot to note, i am running osx 10.6.8 on a 2Ghz intel core duo mac mini with 1GB memory.

Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

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.

I did an auto-update on itunes today and now itunes is unresponsive..it gives this error "An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Wouldn't apple check before releasing new version, I see so many people with same issue..its such a waste of time for everyone now to fix it.
Is there any other way to fix before I try to un-install everything and re-install back?

How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes?

How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes? I know there is a key press combo that will do it but I forget which keys. Anyone?
Intel Piii Windows XP Pro

Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
Another Easier Alternative:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.

Does the iTunes Auto-updater Realize the Currently Installed Version is 64?

I installed iTunes64Setup.exe for v7.6 before. ONce installed, there is virtually no way to tell it is the 64-bit version (about iTunes, etc.)
Today the iTunes auto updater alerted me to udpate to v7.7.1. How do I know it recognizes I need the 64-bit version instead of the regular Xp/Vista32 version?

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>
About=>Carrier?

Windows Vista Issue: iTunes auto-updated, now will not open

Computer: Dell XPS 400
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
I was running a version of iTunes that I recently downloaded after installing Windows Vista Ultimate. Yesterday, Apple Updater updated my iTunes install to version 7.1.3.1 and now iTunes will not open.
I have tried uninstalling, registry cleaners, running as administrator, using compatibility mode, etc. I have tried virtually everything listed on these forums and nothing has worked.
iTunes.exe will run under Processes in Task Manager, but will never open.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is Apple planning on fixing this apparant bug in future releases?

This problem is evidently extremely common, as there are many posts saying essentially the same thing about 7.3.1. I installed it and ran into a number of problems immediately, the least of which was that iTunes does not run. The UI appears, but never gets focus so does not respond to any mouse or KB events. There is no error message of any kind. Deleting the preferences files does nothing. Deep removal of all things iTunes (folders, leftover registry keys, etc.) followed by a clean reinstall does not change the situation.
Worse, 7.3.1 uses lots of CPU power (both cores >50% for seconds at a time) while doing exactly nothing. While I appreciate that Apple and Microsoft are dedicated to ensuring that no CPU is left unhammered, this is a bit much.
I have the same version as a clean (first time ever) iTunes install on an XP laptop, and that, so far, is benign.

How do I disable the itunes auto-update for all users?

I need to know if there is a way to disable the auto-update feature for all users that login to a windows XP computer.
I have disabled it for the account currently logged in as well as copy that user profile to the "default user" profile. However I have about 300 users that do not have admin rights that still get prompted to install updates.
Is there a way to disable the auto update as the default for all users. So that only I get the auto update notifications?

Bump -
No responses in over a week?
Does no one else run a network where users don't have admin rights?

HT1848 I purchased alert tones in itunes and updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchased those items, it says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone?

I purchased many alert tones in itunes and then updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchase those items, itunes says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone without having to repurchase???? This is so frustrating! Please Help!

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

IPod Touch doesn't connect to iTunes after Update to iTunes 8.2.1

After installing an update to iTunes my iPod Touch 8GB (w/ 3.0 upgrade) is no longer recognized. My other iPod Nano is recognized. I've tried everything - completely uninstalling iTunes, including manually removing iTunes files, but nothing work. Based on the other posts to this forum this must have something to do with a bad interface between 3.0 and iTunes 8.2.1.

Just wanted to say a big "thank you" for this advice. I have no idea what it means, or what it did, or what was wrong, but I just did it, and it worked!
Basically, last night I updated iTunes from 9.0 to 9.0.1 and I also did the latest Security Update for my Tiger (10.4.11)
This morning when I plugged in my iPod Touch like normal, it didn't mount, or do anything in iTunes. This has never happened before. I tried all sorts. It did however mount like normal on a Macbook Pro which hasn't had the 9.0.1 iTunes update or the latest Security Update.
I was pulling my hair out. I finally found this thread, copied your advice, and hey presto, I'm a happy bunny again!
I don't know what caused it. Was it the iTunes update? The Security Update? Who knows? Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again though.
I'm afraid I don't even know what the iTunes Helper is, or what it does! Do I need to know?
I know this isn't in a current iTunes (9.0) thread, but this is the thread where I got the advice. Does anyone know if this is happening to anyone else after these two particular updates? I'd like any other people affected to know what helped me, and for Apple to know if there is a problem.
Anyway, thanks again.

Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

New Update broke Itunes

The MSI file was corrupted somehow, and now I can't install a new Itunes version or uninstall the old one. I don't know where to go from here.

I'm really starting to think the apple updater software has a bug or something. Far too many itunes.msi problems every day.
Yeah, there's a bunch of them. But i'm still not convinced it's anything new.
We used to get the "feature is on a network resource that is unavailable" flavor of this in the 6.0.x days (it came with a 1316 error message number on the InstallShield-based installers). A number of them also correspond to the [application name].msi/1714/1603 error message combo from those days.
Those were among the commonest problem reports i treated then, too.
On the other hand, i don't like the sheer number of the things we're getting. I've tried making submissions/feedback on the main troubleshooting document:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
... along the lines of "what precisely to do" when you get one of the missing .msi messages. But no joy on that front.
... So you and I end up having to (very regularly) teach people instead how and when to use Installer CleanUp against a missing .msi when people post here ...
