Itunes continues to offer update to latest version, but after about 10 minutes, gives message that "service is unavailable" (.msi file is not found)  What is going on?

Good morning everyone,
Since the most current version of itunes has become available for update, I will periodically get update notices to upgrade my existing version of itunes.
The problem (which, BTW, has never happened before in the 2 - 3 years I've had itunes on my WIN XP Pro SP3 computer)...is the update will proceed normally for about 10 minutes, then a dialog box opens stating that "A network resource needed is unavailable."  It also offers the option to look elsewhere for a particular .msi file which it claims it cannot find (at the C:\...\.. link it displays...with a [BROWSE] button beside it.
Does ANYONE have ANY idea just what is happening here and how to resolve this very, increasingly-annoying, issue?  As I indicated earlier...this issue has NEVER happened before.  ALL previous updates have completed without incident.  I have also tried doing updates from other Internet sites with the same unacceptable results.
NOTE:  Itunes is ONLY on my WIN XP Pro computer.  I have NO Ipad, Ipod, Iphone, etc.
Thank you for your time and any enlightenment!

Many thanks.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you 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", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • After updating to the latest version why do I get the message that I am not up to date?

    I'm going round and round in circles but getting nowhere!! Every time I open Firefox I get the message that I am not using the latest version but I '''have''' downloaded the latest version and installed it.

    check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings if necessary. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
    the important part is to apply to enclosed items !
    also, even if it seems unrelated, try the steps in this support article: iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

    iTunes places the iPhone backup in the following location. Navigate there & delete everything in the backup folder, but not the folder itself. You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it:

  • I have updated my firefox version but it keeps on telling me that I do not have the latest version, even though I just updated it.

    On the homepage of firefox it sayd that I do not have the latest version of firefox. So i desidet to update it, but after that it kept on telling me that I do not have the latest version. I am sure that I have the latest version because I just updated it. Is it possible that the update did not work or is just an advertisement firefox shows to everyone? Hopefully you can provide me an answer, which would be helpful.
    Computer's operating system: vista (I do not know whether this is relevant)

    The machine could be repaired by a company that does circuit board re-soldering, since it is possible a heat-flex solder break on the main board may have caused either the processor or graphics chips to lose connection and that could manifest itself in a few somewhat documented ways.
    There is an on-board RAM chip that may also have something to do with a kernel panic, if it no longer is functioning correctly; that is the non-removable one soldered on the board you never usually worry about.
    Companies such as powerbookmedic, wegenermedia, and others can take in portable macs of vintage or newer (contact them for details on what they do, and how they accept work orders) for repair and can fix most anything; and have a parts inventory. Modern repair workstations allow the equipped service company to fix complex issues and they do troubleshooting. Sometimes the cost is less than a replacement logic board.
    The links above may help isolate the general cause of a kernel panic. There are other articles in Support database including a deeper look into them.

    Usually the issue is caused by hardware, especially if there is an indication of machine failure in the crash log or other screen image text.
    A working last model MacBook (mid-2010) would be a better 'first mac' to have.
    Hopefully you can sort it out.
    If not, there likely are fair parts in it.

  • I have installed updated to latest version but, upon opening get warning that I need to update to latest version

    I downloaded, then ran and installed latest version of firefox, but each time, upon opening, I get a warning that I need to install latest version.

    It looks that the update wasn't successful because your "More system details" list still shows a Firefox 3.5.7 version.
    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * 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 were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • HT1222 WHY IS MY IPOD TAKING 6 HOURS TO UPDATE?  WON'T LET ME LOAD SONGS TILL I UPDATE TO LATEST VERSION, BUT I DON'T HAVE 8 HOURS TO WAIT FOR UPDATE

    IPOD HASN'T BEEN UPDATED IN A WHILE.  EVERYTIME I HOOK TO COMPUTER, IT WANTS TO UPDATE BUT IT TAKES LIKE 6 HOURS.  I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG, BUT IT WON'T LET MY ADD ANY SONGS TO MY IPOD TILL I UPDATE.  WHAT COULD BE WRONG?

    Not sure if this helps:-
    The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered  owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work.  Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple  Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them.  The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

  • I update to latest version but browswer home page always tells me i am not on the latest version

    this has happened several times when i have downloaded he latest version - currently the one released 21 dec 2011 i downloaded did the same - everything goes fine with the download and the older version it says is replaed - i am on a mac but that shouldn't matter i guess - what do you think

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • I updated to latest version, but a threating msg interrupts my game and says I need to go to 17.1 version

    I updated to 17.0 and in the middle of my games, it closes the game and says I need to upgrade to 17.1 and have a antivirus too. If I try to install, it gives me a threatening icom and it is from an unknown source. Is this from you guys or what? How do I get rid of it? Also I upgraded to latest abode 11.5 and it doesn't go any faster. Does this have something to do with the other problem and should I go back to 10.3, cause I know 11.3 doesn't work.
    Thanks,
    Jolene

    Try the following:
    '''Scan for Malware'''
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    * [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
    Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
    '''Reset Firefox'''
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Camera Plus Pro no longer works on OS 7.   Updated to latest version but App will not open.

    The program appears to open, and just when you would expect the shutter to appear and reveal the subject, the program simply closes.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    Camera Plus Pro app saves photos and videos in Quick Roll, within the app. (Although there is a direct save to Camera Roll option in Settings)
    Hence, if you are saving photos to Quick Roll, than copy all the items to Camera Roll first, by tapping on Sync All button present in the bottom bar.
    Now you can uninstall the app, if needed.

  • Using Vista operating system Firefox Version 3.05 tried to update to new version but after download it goes to run then my only option is save the file it will not run the file.

    the firefox set 7.01 up file can be downloaded but will not run do I have to update to 4 the 5 up to 7?
    download run setup
    unable too run setup everytime

    The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
    I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

    If you open it to take out the battery from the iPhone then you forfeit all service for whatever reason from Apple in the future.
    Have you attempt to connect it to your computer and then restore it from iTunes on your computer?
