ITunes update 10.4 install problems.

Reading through all the communities topics on the new update 10.4 for iTunes, I though I would put my experience among them just in-case it helps somebody out.
First off, installing 10.4 iTunes and iOS 4.3.5 to my iOS devices was the worst thing I have ever done in my Apple life.  Both have created more problems that I can list, I was really looking forward to IOS 5 when it comes out but now seeing how Apple updates just seam to go from bad to dreadful I am now not looking forward to it.  Anyhow, this is about what happened when I installed iTunes 10.4
When I got the pop up that there was a new version of iTunes to down load and install, this in the past has always been a very good and easy install, from the press of a few buttons and 5 minutes later it was all updated OK, BUT this time it was not see easy and very long winded.  Again, I got the pop-up window saying a new version was ready to download and install, I clicked on it to do so but once it had downloaded and then stopped and I was shown a message saying that 'errors had occured but it did not say what these were.  This happened a few times so I gave up and contacted Apple Care, I was advised by them to remove iTunes fully from my computer and download a new fresh version and it would be OK, my worry was that if it was a problem with my computer then maybe the new version would all so not install so instead, I read lots of online stuff and looked at lots of different topics hear and found one option that looked to work for me, this was as follows....
I downloaded only the new update 10.4 and then found that on my computer, right clicked on it and selected to install manually, this all went through OK but looking what was going on on screen it was not the new 10.4 that was being installed but the software by Apple to carry out the install was being updated.  This took a few minuets and then it looked to all be down, I went back to iTunes and tried again to download and install then new 10.4 update and this time it worked OK, well OK to a point.  I have found several bugs in the new 10.4 as well as the new iOS 4.3.5.  I have listed two of them as chat topics.  There does seam to be lots of problem with these new updates and I really really hope that Apple puts a fix out soon.
All I can say is, if you do find any problems, please make sure you do a feedback form and let Apple know of it, the more they know the quicker we all get a fix.  You can leave update hear: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I use Windows XP SP3
iTunes 10.4
iOS 4.3.5

This seems to broken for everyone.

    Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes  won't run

    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
    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.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Since a few weeks all my iTunes Updates fail to install. After the installation trial, the previous installation is damaged – a service is missing.

    Since a few weeks all my iTunes Updates fail to install. After the installation trial, the previous installation is damaged – a service is missing :
    To fix this I have to deinstall all components of Apple Software in exact order as you reveal on your web site. Than reinstall iTunes from Scratch.
    I am using Windos 7 64 bit Professional German edition.

    Hi,
    to see the cause of Windows 8 update failures, we must look for error messages in the following log files:
    Please run the Windows Explorer and go to the folder "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\" and copy all files to your document folder, also copy the setupapi.dev.log from the folder C:\Windows\Inf, the "C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log" and the file "C:\Windows\winsxs\poqexec.log"
    to your document folder (otherwise you can't upload it), zip all files into 1 ZIP and upload the zip to your SkyDrive [1] and post a link here.

  • A few weeks ago I had to reinstall itunes on my PC because the latest itunes update did not install properly.  Ever since doing that something called Mobile Me keeps popping up whenever I open email (outlook) and slowing it down. How do I remove MobileMe

    A few weeks ago an itunes upgrade did not install properly on my PC so I had to uninstall itunes and everything associated with it.  I was able to reinstall itunes and it works fine including syncing with my ipod.  However, now whenever I open my email (outlook) a box pops up stating MobileMe Services has stooped working. This happens a couple of times after I click to close the program.  This a nusance and really slows down getting to my email.  From what I've found MobileMe was something that used to be used by itunes to sync mobile devices but is no longer used by itunes.  I can't find a way to remove this MobileMe from my PC.  I've tried going into Contol Panel then Programs and Features to uninstall it but there is no button there to uninstall it.  Any suggestions on how this can be removed?

    Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

  • Did the iTunes update fix the BSOD problem?

    iTunes was crashing this morning (with that C++ runtime error that several others were complaining about). I updated iTunes and it fixed the problem.
    Does anyone know if this update fixed the "Logitech Web Cam causing the BSOD when syncing iPhone on to a Dell Computer" error?
    I only ask because now when I sync my iPhone, windows recognizes it as an iPhone now, and not a Camera anymore. I just wanna know if I can reinstall my WebCam Driver again.
    Is there somewhere that lists what kind of fixes were in the last update?
    Thank you

    No it did not. There are no iPhone enhancements or fixes in 7.3.1
    It fixes an itunes library problem on the desktop or laptop that is all, and does not effect anything related to the iPhone.

  • ITunes update did not install correctly?

    I started my iTunes update and half way through I lost my internet connection.  I now get a message (update installed incorrectly, reinstall iTunes)  How do I fix this?  I can't find the latest update anywhere.

    Hello rothespl,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    After verifying that iTunes is completely uninstalled, restart your computer and download and install the latest version of iTunes.

  • Latest iTunes update won't install correctly

    Anyone else having problems installing the latest update? 11.1.4 64bit Not only will it not install (trying to access Registry incorrectly), but has stopped iTunes working completely. Have tried manual installs, uninstalling & reinstalling from website and have lost it completely. anyone else having this rob;em?
    I am running Windows 7

    There have been multiple threads in the community that report this problem. I had to restore both a desktop and a laptop to an earlier restore point and rollback to the earlier version of iTunes (11.1.3). Both machines run Windows 7 64-bit OS.  The install seems to lose MSVCR80.DLL. Others report good results by removing all Apple apps from the Control Panel and reinstalling iTunes from a fresh website download.

  • The new itunes update will not install properly and now itunes wont work at all

    k, so I tried installing the new update for itunes and now it wont work at all. it says that the mobile device isnt installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times now.

    My issue is it wont even reinstall onto my computer
    Yes I'm aware of that. The procedures are also for trying in cases where iTunes can't be reinstalled due to a "Could not start Apple Mobile Device service" message.
    If you're getting a different error message relating to the Apple Mobile Device Service (or Apple Mobile Device Support) when you try to reinstall iTunes, post back to let us know what that error message says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Itunes update will not install help - read details - help

    it will start updating like normal but when it starts to install the following messege comes up -
    "the feature that you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available
    click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi' in the box below."
    i have searched for the file itunes.msi but i cannot find it, as if it has been deleted or summit. i done a search and i can only find it as a hidden file. i cannot change the file or use it as it says that it is for older versions of itunes.
    i cannot delete itunes as i have tried the add/remove programs option but it asks for the itunes.nsi file again.
    i have tried deleting the file manually but this doesn't work either.
    itunes will work normally but i cannot update as i want it to be able to get the 3.0 update when it is released.
    does anyone know how i can deal with this option so that i can update itunes and preferably keep my existing music and video files.

    I have the same issues. Any one out there with any good thoughts here.
