ITunes install in Domain using GPO

This is a copy from Installing iTunes. I was asked to post this here:
I would like to publish iTunes as well as Quicktime using Group policies in our Active Directory. This seems to be close to impossible as far as I can tell. Is this possible, or will it be possible in the future? Trying to point to the .MSI fails because it must be called by Setup as far as I can tell.
Thanks in advance!
Matthew

Matthew - have you tried the Discover utility in Windows? I have used this to create custom MSIs for my domain for ages...
This is also how I publish iTunes in my domain...
There is a knowledgebase article that might help.

Hope this works for you.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. Is the domain running a GPO for Folder Redirection? If so, make sure that if you have network connectivity problems that you solve the problems FIRST. iTunes saves it's library information files in the "My Music" folder in "My Documents". Even if you change the music folder location in iTunes options, these files are still saved to "My Music". Network connectivity problems can result in the library files not being saved, meaning you have to re-load your music files every time... just a thought.

IPhone + iTunes + installing iQuiz - HELP

This is probably a really lame question, but gimme a break, I'm a Windows user.
I've had iTunes installed and in use on my computer for some time. Yes, I update it automatically. I purchased an iPhone this week and have thus far not had any problems sync'ing my iTunes songs, videos, podcasts, etc. HOWEVER
I purchased iQuiz on iTunes (a whopping $.99) and want to install it on my iPhone. Whenever my phone syncs it doesn't upload/install iQuiz.
I'm either completely stupid (i.e. I bought a game that won't work on an iPhone) or just really missing out on understanding how to install applications/games purchased from iTunes.
Help?

That's what I was afraid of! At least it only cost ninty-nine cents!! I'll keep it in case it will work with the new update(s) everyone is telling me about.

What did I do wrong? I used to have iTunes installed on this computer and lost it when it crashed. No I can't get past a certain point in the installation point. I keep getting an error message stating that I need to verify that I have access to this file

Help!! What's going wrong here. I used to have iTunes installed on this computer but lost it when it crashed. I've tried re-installing it numerous times but I keep getting the same error message. "Error writing to file: C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes.Resources\es.lproj\iPadLicense.rtf. Verify that you have access to that directory." I know I have access to that directory because on a different computer I can sync my iPad and iPhone. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to go in and authorize or turn on? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

TS2756 When trying to update ITunes on my pc using my Iphone 4 personal hot spot via usb connection the download interups and will not install.

When trying to update ITunes on my pc using Iphone 4 verizon personal hotspot via usb connection the download fails.

I called this problem into Apple and they solved it for me. The problem is in the downloader associated with iTunes. Skip that step and go to Apple.com and download the new iTunes softwere update (Version 11.1) directly. I did this and installed it successfully. After restarting the computer iTunes recognized my phone and all was well. Then I updated and installed the ios7 update without any problems. No charge. Full cudo's to Apple!

Im trying to download the new itunes so i can use my iphone 5 , however , the new itunes requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later and i cant seem to install that onto my imac even after searching for the new update (my imac is currently on 10.5.8.

You have already seen that you cannot load the new iTunes into your 10.5.8, so as Neil says, you need Snow Leopard (current cost £14). And you'll probably need to update the disc you buy via the combo update, though that is free.
As far as the new iTunes is concerned, there's been a certain amount of grumbling so you may want to study the forums before you update. The main problem has been with album artwork which does not transfer easily.

When I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and wont be installed. I use Windows 7.

Everytime I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and can't be installed? I have tried to install it two times and get the same message each time. Any solutions to my problem?? Those who have installed ITUNES 11 is it hard to work with? maybe im lucky it wont update?? I don't know.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

I have iTunes installed on a laptop that I use for work, but it's owned by my employer. A new policy my have them deleting iTunes from the machine. If that happens, will I lose all my music? I am an iCloud user and pay for iTunes match.

If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.

I got a new computer. can i install itunes on it and use that instead of the one on my old computer?

Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again. The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC. No iTunes installed on PC. Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.

Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her. It installed and restarted the ipad. Passcode is now needed. What to do?

If Find my iPad was never set up then scroll down & follow the directions under Recovery Mode:

If it was and the activation lock is triggered, then you will need to know the original Apple ID & password that her grandkids used to set it up or have them sign into iCloud & remove the device from Find My iPad before you can Restore it.

Why don't I get iRadio after installing iTunes 11.1.1 using OS X Mountain Lion in the US?

After installing iTunes 11.1.1 using OS X Mountain Lion, I do not have iRadio (or I cannot find it) in iTunes. Would anyone know a solution? Thanks!

At this point I recommend selling/returning your iPhone, and getting an older one that still has an older supported iOS.
Or buying a used or refurbished Mac that will support the iPhone. http://www.macsales.com/ and http://www.powermax.com/ are both good places to go, and the Apple Store has its own corner of older Macs to go to. Recognize PowerPC applications are not supported at higher than Mac OS X 10.6.8, and that Macs newer than July 20, 2011 can't run 10.6.8 without serious finagling. Migrating from old to new Mac also takes some work.
Recognize you don't have to buy the latest and greatest. Because if you do, you'll have to always try to make sure the software and hardware are running in sync. This is the down side of having integrated products. Eventually it does create older machines that can't run with newer devices.

I can't use my itunes install app,always appear 'will install'

I can't use my itunes install app,always appear 'will install'. But can sync books, and download via wifi..

I have the exact same problem. I have a 80GB Ipod Classic and i'm using Vista. My Itunes works perfectly until I plug the Ipod in. Same thing with the My computer Page. I've tried to restore settings on my ipod, now it is empty but still shows 12GB taken, I don't understand why.

If the AX is working properly, it should not show up in your list of available networks (since it is "joined" to your router). Have you unplugged and replugged your AX? Unplugged and, after a minute, replugged your router? Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router? (if so, disable it to see if the AX works ... it will broadcast its MAC address to the router, and you can add it.) Is your firewall turned on? Turn it off and see if you can access Airtunes. You will have to open a port in your firewall if that is the case.
The AX should have the same network name as your router the wireless tab. When it shows up, what name is it broadcasting?

My IPOD is already synced to iTunes. My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes. Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?

My IPOD is already synced to iTunes. My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes. Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes? Also, how does he install ONLY that app on his iPhone without syncing my music also? I haven't done this before with just an app. Thanks.

Since you and your friend aren't married or in the same household (I assume you wouldn't have referred to this person as "my friend" otherwise), what you want to do is not permitted by the terms of use of the iTunes Store.
Your friend should create his own Apple ID. He can use your computer; just have him log into your computer with a user account you create just for him, not your own user account. Doing it that way is almost like having your friend use a different computer, since both Mac OS X and recent versions of Windows do a pretty good job of segregating the data of multiple user accounts.
He can then purchase the app using iTunes and sync it to his iPhone. When he's done, he should log out of your computer.
However, be aware that there is no reason to purchase an app using iTunes on a computer and to then sync it to the iPhone. Your friend can use the App Store app that's installed on the iPhone by default in order to download and install any app he likes from the iTunes App Store.

Is any SIMPLE way to legally publish an original music piece to get it into the iTunes store as public domain use just for start up purposes? Any better ideas ? I write contemporary (mostly) dance pieces...any thoughts?
