ITunes updating issues

I am having the exact same problem. I had updated iTunes on another computer and went to update it on my home desktop. If I launch Apple Software Update, it says that new software is available, but then there aren't any updates listed to select. If I launch iTunes and do "Check for Updates," I get the exact same thing you describe - it says there is an update available (I also have 10.6.1.7 and would be going to 10.6.3), but when I click the "Download iTunes" button nothing happens.
I was going to try manually downloading next, but thought I'd see if I could find out if others were having the same problem and/or if I could find any other solutions. Any luck?

Hmmmm.
That said, the Apple Software Update program still says there is new software available from Apple, but yet the box where there should be a list of available software for me to select is empty (and I know that there are a couple of programs that have been in that list before, and kept coming up because I didn't install them, and now there's nothing.
If you've got the time, could you check something for me please?
Have a look in the Winsock providers tab in Autoruns, as per the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
Are there any LSPs being shown in there, other than the Bonjour LSP(s)?

My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
Any help would be apprecated.

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

Itunes update issue

I updated iTunes but receive the following message: AVCFPlayerItemDurationChangedNotofication... Now iTunes will not run. I even tried the repair option on the iTunes download website. Any suggestions?

Does this happen if you start iTunes in safe mode, hold Shift and Control while launching it?

Today's Itunes Update Issues

Anyone else have issues with this week's Itunes update? I'm totally locked out now as the update failed. I even tried downloading and installing from the
website and no luck?

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.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
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.

Itunes update issued error USBEthernethost.kext ...

Recently I did a routine update of itunes and received "the system extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact the product's vendor for an update."
1. reinstall how?
2. It looks like Apple's product.
3. I have installed nothing but Apple and Flash updates since the previous itunes update which did not issue an error.
4. Should I care?

Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following paragraph:
do shell script "chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" with administrator privileges
If it doesn’t work, throw that item away and then reinstall iTunes.

When is Apple going to fix this iTunes update issue? I can't open or re install my iTunes.

Is there anything they are going to do so I can add more music to my iPod? Let alone access my iTunes library.

Itunes updating issue

When I try to update Itunes it tries to use I Explorer on my Windows XP . I.Explorer locks up on my PC. I use Firefox as my default browser. How can I update via Firefox, or can I simply download latest version of Itunes(using Firefox) without losing current settings/files etc, from current Itunes setup on my PC?

Itunes Updates issues

I would like to know why my itunes gets updated every other week. It does not leave me signed in and every time i go to watch my movies it makes me sign in to watch them.

Updates to iTunes are not as regular as that, and I don't think that it has anything to do with your signing in issue.
Asking you to sign in is a security measure, designed to protect your account from being used by other people.

How do I resolve an MS Windows iTunes update issue with Apple Mobile Device"?

I am receiving the following error message when updating iTunes to v. 11.1.4:
Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start service.
How do I resolve the problem?

I resolved this myself by uninstalling ALL Apple programs and reinstalling the iTunes software. No files were lost and account sync worked as before.

ITunes update issues

i can't update to the latest version of iTunes because of an error saying it can't find bonjour.msi

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed..
for example, if you have your iTunes Media folder on an external disk and it is not available when iTunes loads, iTunes will default back to the internal disk where it will not be able to find the tracks.
You can find out where iTunes thinks a track is by selecting a problem track, right clicking and selecting Get Info. The location will be on the Summary tag. This should help you work out what has gone wrong.

Itunes Updating Issue iMac OS 10.6.8

Ever since updating my iPhone5 to OS7, I have been unable to sync my phone to iTunes, obviously because of the requirement to install iTunes 11.1
I am currently using iTunes 11.0.2. I have tried multiple times over the past month to download 11.1 and each time I download, go through the install process, get confirmation that the install was successful, re-launch iTunes and it is STILL 11.0.2, thus leaving me unable to sync my phone.
I have tried checking for a software update from the OS update menu, and it says there are no updates. Checking for updates within iTunes itself says that I need to upgrade to 11.1 but any attempt to download either thru iTunes or direct from iTunes.com results in the same sequence described above.
Launching iTunes direct from the application folder rather than the dock, has no impact.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
btw iMac 2007ish - running 10.6.8 snow leopard

Indeed it does. Closing iTunes again and clicking on the 2nd of the results seemed to finish the application in some way and I am now up to date. Thanks so much!

IPod/iTunes updateing issues

I have an iPod mini, and windows xp, my problem is thus;
I had another computer, on it, I kept my iTunes library. Said computer died. Horribly.
Now I have a new computer, I have put new songs on it. The songs on my new computer are not the same ones on my iPod, and the songs on my iPod are not on my new computer. Is there any way of putting the songs on my new computer onto my iPod without eraseing the songs already there?

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and a different iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
If you want to copy the songs on your iPod to the new computer there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are quite cheap these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

ITunes Update Issue after restart...

Hi and tnxs for reading.
This morning I updated my Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro w iTunes 11. Everything was fine but after restart my Mac freezes with the Apple Logo on grey background and the clockwise turning indicator as it was thinking... It is already 1 hr like that... Any help please?
Cheers.

I have the same problem after updating to version 10.5.0.142
Any ideas?

HT1925 I am having an issue with loading Itunes. I receive a missing dll file notice. Then another error message. I have reinstalled Windows & still get the error. I did not get the error until I recently did an ITunes update.

I am having an issue with ITunes after a recent ITunes update. I can not open ITunes, I get a message missing MSVCR80.dll file, Then an error 7 message. I have redone the OS for Windows 7 and restarted the computer. I keep getting the errors.

Do the following:
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.
