ITunes- Error 1606

OKay, so you had me try to download itunes and I did try. When it did start to download it was checking for something on my computer and gave me this error- Error1606: Could not access network location bin. Then when I closed the download is said Error: -1603 fatal error during installation. I'm sure the second one was because I closed it, but I'm not sure about the first one. Thanks for your help, it's appriciated.
Thanks-

ITunes 6 will not install because of Error 1606, please help!

Hi, when I try to download the new iTunes 6, I get an error halfway through installation. The error says:
Error 1606. Could not access network location bin.
Please, what does this mean and how do I fix it?

gaah. okay, we're going to try transferring a treatment that has been working for some QT 1606s to the itunes 1606.
first, download and install a copy of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
... now let's use the complete uninstall instructions given here to remove any existing itunes and QT:
Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
... then let's run the Installer CleanUp utility to remove any leftover itunes and quicktime installation registry entries.
reboot.
now let's run an itunes 6.0.1.3 install again. does it go through without the 1606 this time?
love, b

Error 1606 when installing i-tunes and i-pod updater

Have searched for answers to this problem with no luck so apologies if this is a repeat. I have tried down loading latest version of I Tunes and I pod updater. Neither would install and came up with the following error - error 1606.could not access network location %userprofile%\begin menu\program\startup".
I followed the instructions on the link to the Installer Web site for this Error and edited the registry (states that all entries (as listed) should refer to the correct drive i.e C: but did not show any examples.
All but one registry key was correct. I ammended a string of keys that all had %userprofile%\ as the start.
This allowed me to install ITunes however it would not add the several thousand songs that were alreday on the computer no matter what i did. So I changed the registry back and hey presto there was 4.9 with all my songs.
However I still can not intstal ipod updater either from the disc that came with shuffle or from the download.
Can any one please help??? Either tell me what to cahnge the registry keys to or explian how this has happened anyway.
I have purchased 5 pods of one type or another for various people on three different computers. Updated all software regularly and never had this problem.
Thanks
Paul

Yes ...followed the link and all instructions on it but not very confident about editing registy keys. Have also checked Microsoft but all that gave was more info on Registry editing.
I have managed to by pass this problem by logging in as another user and installing software. Worked without problem but I have compared the registry entries and all seem the same!
Very Strange.

QT install error 1606: Could not access network location 1\lib\ext\

This all began when trying to update to latest version of iTunes 9.0.3. I first tried running the update via iTunes, and saw this message. Next, I downloaded the update file (iTunes + QT) and ran from my desktop as admin. Still the same result.
I have removed both QT and iTunes from my computer. I have deleted the temp folder (C:\users\owner\AppData\Local\Temp), restarted computer. Ran QT installer only and still same message.
I did download the Windows Install Cleanup utility, but couldn't use it directly on QT or iTunes as they were already deleted. I did use it to remove the other Apple programs resident on the computer.
Here's the result in the file MSIe1559.LOG:

Excellent news!
What's happening with this one ... as far as I can work out, the \lib\ext\ being mentioned in the error message refers to Java program directories. The QuickTime installer tries to put a file into those locations ... for example, on my Lenovo, the file in question is:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip
So, if there's some sort of issue with Java on the PC, sometimes the install of that file doesn't go through, and we get the network location error messages. Whatever the precise nature of the problem with the Java location is, updating or installing Java seems to help get people past it.

Error 1606

When I try to install iTunes, I get the error message "Error 1606.Could not access network location \." which then leads to the "Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation." error message. I tried the registry key fix but it did not work. I have uninstalled iPod for Windows and Quicktime, and I have tried installing the Quicktime standalone download but the same error message comes up.

Oh. I thought you posted that you had tried something with a registry key.
The article I linked to has several suggestions, like cleaning the Temp directory, closing all applications running in the background, and running the Windows Installer Cleanup utility. I didn't realize you had tried all of that.

Error 1606 and 1603

Help, I've have unistalled itunes and now can't reinstall. I keep getting error 1606, couldn't find network location and then error 1603 fatal error during installation. I have tried to empty my temp directory and restart, downloaded latest windows updates, cleaned up itunes installer. Any ideas on what to do now?
Thanks, dt

I keep getting error 1606, couldn't find network location and then error 1603 fatal error during installation.
hi Dianne!
hmmm. we treat that chain by dealing with the 1606. i think you might have already found the general advice given here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
... but also follow up on the specific link to the Installshield advice on the 1606 in that document.
keep us posted on your progress.

Quicktime 7.0.3 installation problems - error 1606

Well I've just downloaded the latest iTunes with Quicktime 7.0.3 but am having a **** of a time getting the latter installed. iTunes will install, but then gives me a -3 error when trying to install Quicktime. So I tried downloading and installing the standalone Quicktime 7.0.3 program, but am having no more joy with that. If I try that, I get the error message:
Error 1606.Could not access network location QTComponents\
If I click ok then I get:
Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation
I've tried using the Installshield support website to help me, but with absolutely no luck whatsoever (http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q110724). If anyone can advise me here it would be greatly appreaciated. Many thanks in advance. I have also tried disabling my Avast antivirus while I install, but to no avail.
Many thanks to anyone out there who might be able to help me.
Link to the original message in the iTunes forum:
Adam Carrico, "Quicktime 7.0.3 installation problems - error 1606" #1, 08:42pm Oct 15, 2005 CDT

I am having exactly the same problem. I also tried installing the Standalone QuickTime but got the same problem, same message. I haven't a clue where to go from here. It's really disappointing, I've only just started using iTunes and now I can't update my new iPod.
If anyone has a solution/suggestion to this problem it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.

When syncing my iPad 2.... Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.

Must conform to these specs:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd.

ITunes error 7 (windows 127) VideoToolbox.dll

I have uninstalled, reinstalled, tried installing the videotoolbox.dll file seperately, and looked up just about everything i can find but nothing matches my exact problem or fixes it. When I try to open itunes i get 2 error messages. The first reads:
"The procedure entry point kVTCompressionPropertyKey_ThrottleForBackground could not be located in the dynamic link library VideoToolbox.dll"
After I click ok I get another pop up saying:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 127)"
Can anyone help me fix this?
Thank you
P.S. I am running Windows 7 64-bit

Itunes error

when i try and open itunes on my laptop i keep getting the error message Itunes new library and it wont let me open it. I've tried repairing it on control panel and i've also tried installing a newer version. Nothing works.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Well, I've been the victim of curious and unsolveable iTunes errors, too, but not the same as what you describe. I suspect it had something to do with updating my computer with an external drive/iPod mounted. Or it was just one of those funny little bugs from Apple. You might try backing up, repairing permissions, repairing the start-up volume, and resetting the PRAM.
And if that doesn't work or you already tried that, well... Have a good one!
That's a quote from my favorite cancelled cartoon show, Futurama. Bender says that to Zap Branegan as he is about to get pulled out a breech in the hull into the infinity of space. Seems like it may apply to your situation, too.....

ITunes update shows runtime error R6034/iTunes error 7/Windows error 1114. iTunes tells me to reinstall but I've uninstalled/restalled and get same error messages.

After iTunes update I see this - Runtime error R6034 "application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly". ThenUninstalled then I also get iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes error 7 (Windows error 1114). I've tried fixes for runtime but computer says there are no errors. I've uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and get all the above messages. Now when I start up my computer the runtime error pops up, but once it is closed computer works fine until I try to open iTunes. I've even tried a system restore going back to November. I use iTunes for audiobooks on iPod and I'm going to get desperate soon. Any suggestion?

ITunes error message -39

Hi,
I'm running an eMac 10.3.9, iTunes 6.0.4 and an iPod 30gb photo.
I started having problems a few days before the latest iTunes update came out earlier this week, with iTunes not quitting and it not being able to find the library.
Now with the iTunes update, I get the error message
"the iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-39)"
I have run Disk Warrior 3.0.3 over the disk and the iPod with no change.
I have run Onyx and Yasu to reset permissions, cron etc etc. with no change.
There is no reference to iPod/iTunes error -39 on the Apple website nor in this forum.
I have changed USB ports with no change.
The iPod appears in the iTunes menu and the battery charges. I can also open the iPod disk and work with the contents.
I have reset the iPod with no change. I used the 'hold the central button and Menu at the same time' trick, so could go one step further and delete everything from the iPod and start again.
But that is assuming the problem is with the iPod. If the problem is with iTunes I won't be able to reload all my songs onto the iPod.
Any hints appreciated.
Tim
eMac 1.25gHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Problem resolved by restoring iPod to factory settings and reloading all the songs.
Prior to this I deleted iTunes and downloaded a new version from the Apple site. This did not resolve the error -39 message.
Then I took the plunge and restored the iPod. Works fine now.
I'm posting the fix to help anyone into the future with the same problem.

HT1926 Have the same problem as many other users: tried to update iTunes on Windows 7 today; first message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 1

I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open. First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
