Itunes update download file not saving

Previous to 5.1.1 iOS updates, iTunes (MAC) used to download the package update for given hardware (iPhone 3GS / 4 / etc) and keep that pacakge local on the machine for future updates.
I update many iPhones daily due to business.
iTunes would download the 5.1 package for iPhone 3GS or 4 etc, and i could conitnue to update as many phones's as needed without iTunes having to re-download the entire 700mb+ package over and over again.
Now, with 5.1.1, ever time i plug in a different phone that requires an update (even if same model) it re-downloads the 700mb+ update package each time before peforming the update.
I could not see any settings to say, keep the update package file local. I assume its only storing in temporary files, then deleting after update is complete.
VERY ANNOYING!!!
Any ideas out there?

The files are in folders in your user account/Library/iTunes. The folders are named iPhone Software Updates, iPad...etc. When you connect a device, option+click on "Check for Update" and select the update file. If you are using Lion (OS X 10.7.x) the user account/Library is not accessible thru iTunes. Access the library folder from the Finder's Go menu. Hold down the Option key for the library to appear in the Go menu. Then copy the update files to your desktop. When you option+click check for updates, you'll be able to access the update files on your desktop.

Download files not saved

Download files not saved. Click on download and then click on "Save", next the download window opens, but it does not show the download file?
I recently downloaded Nero 11 and then removed. I also deleted some software Babylon, Yonno (? some name) in control panel.
Using ZoneAlarm 10.1.101 and Firefox 10.0.2 (removed and reinstalled).

Hello Cor-el,
I went to Tools>Options>Privacy and it is checked off as you indicated/noted...
I will check out the URL downloads+windows later this week...
ZoneAlarm will not work with the latest Firefox versions 14 (or earlier ones)... so reverted to an older version of Firefox and ZoneAlarm... and it works! Aside- it is ANNOYING to click on latest version upload for Firefox and then get a screen showing what software is not compatible with that version. So I needed to remove the latest Firefox version and ZoneAlarm.. and re-install both.
No need to use Firefox 10.0.6 ESR because I am a small home user and not a big organization?
Thanks for your help, I will have to make the time this coming week and look into this further.

P.S. The files are still not downloading and saved?

HT4623 How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes

How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes.
There does not appeare to be any doenloadable files in the download section.

"Well that's totally unacceptable."
Actually you can only accept it, as it is the way it is. You may not like it, but it is so. Sorry.
" your seriously telling me that Apple expect me to download the same huge file 8 TIMES"
That is exactly what I am telling you.
" No way."
Still true.
"Apple are going to have to come up with another solution."
No. They do not have to do any such thing. They may choose to do so in the future, but there is no reason to believe that they will.

My iTunes wouldn't update and so I tried to reinstall the new version, my computer restarted and when I clicked on iTunes, it said file not found.

I tried to update my iTunes so I could put some songs onto my ios 7 device and it wouldn't update. I would get a fail message. I went to the apple website and reinstalled it. After my computer restarted, I clicked on iTunes and said file not found. I looked everywhere but could not found a working application link. Help!!

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv?
If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) that will make them view-able for the apple TV?
If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

Tried to download itunes update - missing file MSVCR80.dll? What is this file

tried to run iTunes update - missing file message MSVCR80.dll??? Uninstalled iTunes - when i reinstall i get a message at the end that Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services??? What do I do now?

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80

The itunes update server could not be contacted. Ran diagnostic and followed many support reccomendations with on success.

For at least the last 36 hours I have been unable to download updates from the itunes server for either itunes itself, or for iOS for my iphone (I need this since I am locked out of my phone). I was able to get around the problem of not being able to update itunes from the itunes server by downloading 11.0.4.4 from apple.com instead, but I don't believe I can do this for the latest iOS.
I have tried troublshooting from the support instructions for hours with no luck. Itunes is the only program that is having internet connectivity issues. I have tried disabling windows firewall, completely uninstalling my antivirus, and logging in/running itunes as an administrator. I have purged my hosts file and made sure that LAN settings are set to auto-detect. I have rebooted my router. There are no third party programs running that filter internet connections.
What else can I try?

I have completed the Advanced iTunes Store Troublshooting workthrough and my problem persists.
For reference I will detail the steps I have followed from the Advanced Support link iOS *08* provided above.
Isolate the issue:
1) the problem is with iTunes (I can connect to other secure websites, including the apple webpage + login).
2) verified the problem is not with the network (other devices on my network can connect and download iTunes updates).
3) I cannot resolve the problem by connecting to another network.
4) I have created inbound and outbound rules to allow all traffic to/from ports 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999. I have allowed these ports full access to all network types and all programs. I have also made sure that all apple products, especially itunes, are allowed in the list of windows firewall exceptions.
5) My date, time, and timezone are correct.
6) I am using iTunes as an administrator. I have posted the results of the diagnostic network tests above in my Original Post.
Blocked by software Firewall:
I have allowed an exception in the firewall for itunes and bonjour.
It seems to be the case that:
"If there's no firewall preventing access, but the iTunes Store still does not work while other Internet services (websites) work, the iTunes Store may be blocked by your configuration."
Blocked By Configuration:
I have run iTunes Diagnostics (results above) and the "Secure link to iTunes Store" section did not pass
I opened IE, made sure I am "Never dialing a connection"
My LAN settings are set to "Automatically detect settings"
I do not have any proxy settings
I have unchecked "Check for server cerificate revocation*" under Advanced IE properties
I have enabled "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0"
I saved and restarted. Still no joy.
Rebuild Network Information
I flushed the DNS Resolver Cache
As mentioned above I reset the host file to default, and also tried to alternate method outlined in the support document involving creatings a "Copy of hosts" file and moving, editing, and returning the file to drivers/etc.
I then restarted.
Please Help! This is getting rediculous!

I get the following message, when trying to check for updates on itunes:- "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later".

I get the following message when I go to "check for updates" on iTunes (I have XP on windows). Error message: "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later".
My firewall (both anti virus firewall and windows firewall, are set up to allow itunes programme to work) - I also have set both internet explorer and chrome to allow
apple website as an exception.
However, I still get the same error message... can anyone help?
Thanks

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Error message received: The iTunes update server could not be contacted

Please help! I'm using a windows 7 laptop. The iTunes store is not displaying images, and if I try to import a CD it will not access the gracenote database for track info.Tried updating but got the error message 'the itunes update server could not be contacted'. I'm accessing the internet via a Tmobile dongle and all other web content is working . I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked my driver are up to date and that my AVG firewall allows iTunes through.I have disabled the windows firewall.I tried disabling the AVG one completely too but that had no effect so I'm stuck - can anyone help?

Not sure if you already fixed this problem or not, but I recently upgraded my laptop to Win7 and ran into the same issue. My Internet connection was working fine, I could even browse the store within iTunes, just couldn't download any software or firmware updates. I fixed it by editing the "hosts" file located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder. Open it in notepad with admin rights (right click notepad & select "Run as administrator"). Uncomment (delete the hash symbol "#") the last 2 lines or the ones that consist of "127.0.0.1 localhost" and "::1 localhost". Restart iTunes and see if this works (if you haven't already found a solution).

"waiting" in itunes. the download does not start.

I have bought and paid for movies in itunes. Now is it just "waiting" in itunes. the download does not start. what do I do?

re: quantization.
Logic can do a "soft" quantize as it's recording, by soft I mean playback MIDI data is quantized for both audio and visuals (piano roll), but if you turn quantize off you will see your notes as you played them.
Select a MIDI track, softsynth or external, in the upper left corner of the Inspector is a Quantize value. Click and hold to see what's available.
While you're there, make sure the Delay value is set to zero.
Also make sure that Preferences/Audio "Recording Delay" is set to zero.
And last, (very important.)
Delete the Logic 10 preferences file AND the shared control surfaces file.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro.
then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Make sure and remove both files.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

TS1424 "The itunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later."

I keep getting this error message: "The itunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later." and can not update my iOS from 4.3.2

I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it. There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab. I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted. It didn't fix the problem. Any more ideas?
