ITunes not working since I attempted to install iTunes 9.0.2 update....

My automatic iTunes update popped up tonight and I chose to download and install the new version 9.0.2
However it gets part way through the installation when another box pops up that says..."The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.mso' in the box below."
There is then a box labeled "Use Source" with a path to a file. But I have no idea what to do or what the problem is. Since hitting OK doesn't get anywhere, I am forced to select cancel. Which then pops another window that says, "The older version of itunes cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."
When I now click on my current iTunes icon it says, "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
What happened?! My itunes was fine. I got the notice to install the new version, which I always do. But it didn't install correctly but now I also can't even use my current itunes. PLEASE HELP! Is all my music gone too??????

I've just been through two days of an iTunes 9 nightmare - and I am happy to report that I have successfully removed iTunes 9 and reverted back to iTunes 8.2.1. I am able to connect to iTunes and my library without it freezing. I even was able to resolve the "can't access iTunes library because it was a 'newer version'" issue!
I have a Windows XP PC.
Here's what eventually helped me:
1. I did a System Restore back to a few days prior to installing iTunes 9. In Windows XP this is found by going to Start > Help and Support. Under 'Pick a Task' choose "Undo changes to your computer with System Restore". On the next screen select 'Restore my computer to an earlier time' and click Next. Select a bold date from the calendar and continue to follow the prompts.
2. Unless the restore solves your problems, _follow the instructions Apple Support provides_ for "Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP". Follow the instructions in the exact order they provide... until they tell you to Reinstall iTunes and related components.
3. If you don't have *Windows Installer Cleanup Utility* then do a Google search and find & download it from Microsoft. Once installed, open it and look for anything that starts with iTunes, QuickTime, Apple or Bonjour. If you find it - remove it. If you don't see any of them, don't worry about it and exit the application.
4. Restart your computer
5. Go to oldapps.com and download a prior version of iTunes - I reverted back to 8.2.1
6. Go into My Documents/My Music. Now go into the iTunes folder. Rename your iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library.itl.old. Go into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (which would be in MyDocuments\MyMusic\Previous iTunes Libraries). Take the most recent file and copy it to the My Documents/My Music/iTunes folder. Rename it iTunes Library.itl. Run iTunes and you should be all set, with your library restored. (NOTE: If you downloaded/purchased anything since that date it will not be there - but should still be in the itl.old file - provided you can figure out how to transfer it over.)
Good luck - hope this works as well for you as it did for me. What a nightmare this was.

  • Microphone not working since Windows 7 clean install: Satellite P505-S8980

    Ever since I reinstalled Windows 7 on my Satellite P505-S8980 laptop the microphone with the webcam has not worked.  Has anyone else experienced this and resolved it?  I am unable to chat with friends and family through Google hangouts, which is a little disappointing.
    I've unsinstalled and reinstalled the drivers, checked all settings, tried to find updated drivers, etc., but with no luck.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Possibly helpful info:
    Model P505-S8980
    No modifications to hardware (original hard drive, etc.)
    Running Windows 7 64 bit.  Clean install, NOT from Toshiba restore disk or similar utility.

    Satellite P505-S8980
    The order of installing drivers is problematic. Best to restore the hard disk to the original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
    If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
    For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 71 of the User's Guide.

  • HTML5 not working since last system re-install

    Hello,
    Yesterday I could see 99.99% of the Youtube videos I could find, and today (after a system re-install) it's not possible anymore, with both Firefox and Chromium.
    I didn't keep any track records to what version of Chromium/FF I was using yesterday and today (why would I, anyway) and I also have no leads to why this would happend.
    Is anyone facing the same problem? Did Chromium update since yesterday?

    "Few"? Not really. I always went to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and enable the HTML5 player. This renders to a score of 99.9% of all videos I can find. Until today, of course.
    I re-installed Arch today and it looks like everything is working fine. But I noticed this "bug" (let's call it that) started again after I installed Minetest, some videos that I could previously see were unavailable all of a sudden. Then I installed Libreoffice and it's all working again. Could be because of "jdk7-openjdk", but this is just a wild guess. Another wild guess is that the order I install things and the things I install matter too. Sometimes I find myself tripping over these situations.

  • IChat Video Not Working since PSP3 bought!!

    Hi guys,
    ichat video not working since I bought and installed a new Playstation 3. I have a BT HUB that connects wirelessly with the imac. I have BT Vision running from the HUB too via ethernet wall boost adapters. I had this problem with video when i installed the BT Vision. And turned out to be something to do with Application Sharing settings on the HUB. I resolved it by correctly sharing AIM TALK with my wireless imac. Now the same problem has arisen since the psp3 was put on. But even with all the things I've tried I am stuck as how to get the video up and running as before. The devices running off the hub include:
    1. imac (wireless via Airport Extreme)
    2. BT Vision via ethernet and wall adaptors
    3. iPod touch via wireless
    4. PSP3 via wireless plug and play
    I have checked all the ip address for these devices and have enabled app sharing for the imac wireless to AIM TALK in BT HUB manager. I have also opened my firewalls; changed the port setting to 443 in ichat preferences; re-set the HUB/Router;
    Is there anything else I can do or check? As I said it worked perfectly before the psp3 went onto the
    network. Should i assign AIM TALK to the imac wireless or to some of the other devices? (though I think I've tried that too!!)
    Help would be much appreciated as this is driving me to insanity, if I wasn't there already!!!!
    Take care, and thanks in advance for your help.

    "speedtouch modem!"
    Yes you do.
    Thomson-Alcetel who make the Speedtouch range make this device for BT.
    The Firmware is Thomson-Alcatels with BT Logo-ing.
    This Ethernet 3 connection is probably internal.
    Have you got System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming set to 1.5Mbps ?
    If not then do and restart iChat to see the new speed.
    In Leopard the Automatic setting is read by iChat as 384K.
    This may be allowing the PS3 to have too much of the bandwidth.
    I or rather my son has a X-Box 360 which can be on-line when I video chat and it works for me, as it does when he uses his PlayStation 3
    If the AIM talk setting uses the same port here as it is listed elsewhere then it has only opened/allowed port 5190.
    This would have appeared to have been coincidental to any iChat use when you changed it.
    Are you not using UPnP in this device ?
    Which firmware is it up to ?
    Anything above 6.2.2.6 should work.
    Anything starting with 6 and containing letters is later.
    In the .telephony section does it mention which port are open ?

  • Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, uninstall, & reinstall

    I have problems with Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, then uninstall, & re-install. 
    I uninstalled the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player from my computer PRIOR to attempting to install the new 11 version, so now I'm unable to view videos, etc., 
    I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0 (which I closed when I got error messages during Adobe Flash Player 11 Installation.  I've  disabled my AVG -Virus also during the installation of Flash Player 11.   
    FYI, I'm not computer savvy so the YouTube video by Adobe Tech was too complicated to follow AND I'm unable to view  (DUH!) it since I have no Flash Player program installed (doesn't make sense!) .
    Thanks for keeping it simple (KISS for me).

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling some 30 times now ..rebooting, you name it.
    I haven't been able to use flash since Adobe kindly shoved that latest update down my computer's throat.
    Right after getting the 'successful' installation message I restart IE9 ..go to my channel on youtube and immediately get the message:
    The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
    Get the latest Flash Player
    I tried Chrome and on two or three it worked but then even after closing out of them ..Chrome slowed down to a crawl and finally informed me that Flash had stopped working.
    This has entirely wasted 3 nights of my time. It is 2:30 am and I should have had at least 2hours sleep already to rise at 6:30 but no, thanks this I'm still up and no doubt millions of other computer users are having just as much fun.. Everyone I know that allowed the updates to install ..is having the same problem ..Chrome/IE9/Firefox ...you can truly call it Adobe's Universal Cluster ...
    I live with Adobe. At work we have 6 fully Adobied LR4/CS5 & 6/InDesign workstations. I'm a photographer using nothing but Adobe products and quite frankly I feel this is the worst treatment you have ever given your customers.
    Please stop the CYA and just fix the damm thing! I realize you didn't write it Chris but surely you can get Adobe management to address this instead of just trying to get their users to try and debug it for the airheads that released it. Has anyone stopped to consider the financial damage being done due to videos not playing the ads that support the sites and no doubt stream revenue to Adobe? These guys have rolled the online experience back 5 years minimum and Adobe will probably pay the price for it. Re-issue a working version and go back to the drawing board!

  • Home sharing on apple tv not working since upgrade to yosimite

  • Widgets, Safari, Software Update -- All not working since I got Comcast

    My Dashboard, Safari and Software Update have not worked since I got Comcast internet. I'm pretty sure their installer screwed up something, but I don't know how to undo it. Firefox, Adium, Mail and other internet applications all work great.
    I tried to fix the Software Updater problem a while ago and was able to get it to see what is available (by adding swquery.apple.com to the sites that bypass proxy settings), but it still refuses to download anything.
    I can't help but think there's one thing that's causing all this trouble. Any thoughts?

    You can have up to 5 computers authorized at one time with iTunes. There's no reason to deauthorize until you want to go over the limit. You can do this once a year. Do a clean install of the OS on the mac you are selling.

  • Windows 7 Updates not working since Infinity insta...

    Hi All,
    I've had Infinity for a week and Windows updates have not worked since. My permissions are the same and i have Admistrator access.

    The error code 80070005 usually means that you do not have enough permission to install updates.

  • Where can i exchange my not working iphone bought in Switzerland (on july 12, 2012.) that just turned off and not working since. In croatian store they don't want to give me replacement phone!!!!

    I have bought iphone 4s on July 12, 2012.in Zurich in offical Apple store (Glattzentrum) and after one and a half months it just turned off and not working since. I tried three charges and nothing (it detects that charger is on but it cannot be charged). So now I have a not working phone only two and something months after purchase. But the problem is that in Croatia we have two apple reseller stores and neither don't want to exchange it, although is under warranty!!!! The closest stores are 250 km from Zagreb...Of course I have contacted Apple store in Zurich but they told me to come in Switzerland or to send credit card data for receiving new iphone, the problem is I don't have credit card with 700 euro on it!!!! what to do?? who to call ??? where to get replacment device cause this is disaster???? I wanted to buy ipad but after all this I doubt to do so...I have not working Iphone payed around 700 chf or 800 usd and cannot change it in my country, is it possible for such vast organization like apple that this things can occur????? So much for customer support

    “the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
    Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.
    Some how you need to get your phone back to Switzerland.

  • My imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is  if i choose to finish installing maverick

    my imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it, it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is  if i choose to finish installing maverick does that mean i will nevver be able to access word documents stored on my desktop? or do the word docs automatically convert to pages or what? i am so confused. would i be better off just sticking with mountain lion and send the maverick install to the trash? hoping someone will be able to answer my question though i am afraid the response is likely to be just stick with mountain lion so you can keep using word. i had been looking forward to maverick but it seems pretty drastic to not have access to microsoft word anymore by switching to maverick. hope someone has an answer so i can have the best of both worlds so to speak!

    thanks for your response Csound1 on the peninsula ... if i go ahead and install maverick and then download LibreOffice or OpenOffice will i then be able to access old microsoft word saved documents on my deskstop through those two free alternatives? i am not that knowledgeable about these things so i am not sure if you are saying i will just be able to use libreoffice or openoffice for creating new documents or whether i can access the saved microsoft docs? are they transferred to OO or LO or what and if editing of the old word docs is needed can i do that through the OO and LO programs or apps (see i am not even sure if i am using the correct vocabulary!) hope you can answer this as quick as the first question, so i can decide to stick with mountain lion and trash the maverick install or proceed with maverick install and hoppe that my microsoft word docs are still accessible through OO or LO or adding to myquestion will pages on maverick be able to open the old word documents? thanks again!
