ITunes upgrade/fresh install error!

Hello all.
I am using an iPod Touch second generation. Tried to upgrade to iOS5 but it required me to upgrade my iTunes to the latest version. Tried to upgrade and an error popped up "Package installer error" or some sort. Been told to redownload the installer package or try to reinstall. Tried both but to no avail. I thought my current iTunes was the culprit so I uninstalled my iTunes and tried again installing the latest iTunes. But the same error popped up again!
Now I don't have any itunes, and I dont know where does the previous itunes keep my iPod backup files. I have thousands of apps over there and it would be really frustrating to lose it.
Someone please help me. Thanks in advance.

"Package installer error"
What's the precise text of that error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7

    What is the problem with the newest version of iTunes (Failed to install - error 7 & missing MSVCR80.dll) - the DLL is not missing.  tgried to install today and it failed - what a waste.

    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 go to the next item)
    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.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • ITunes will not install, error message "could not access network location"

    I just got a new iPod Classic for Christmas but I have an older Mac so I was going to use an extra PC that we have laying around the house but every time I try to install iTunes, I get this Error:
    Could not access network location \\S090100\d$\Data.Backup\C09010009-FDR\My Documents\My Pictures\.
    It does not have Error 1606 anywhere on it and it asks me if I want to Retry or Cancel. I have tried EVERYTHING, please help!!

    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • [SOLVED] - Arch Fresh Install - Errors

    I have a few ERRORS from a Fresh Install that I need a bit of help with:
    1.  I've created a user (larry) and added myself to audio,lp,optical,wheel,storage,video,power,scanner and inserted the password.
         But when I try to login with user larry and my password, I am unable to login.  (My password is the same as root and I can login
         as root.)  Is there a way to reset my user password without deleting user larry?  I don't want to lose the files I have in /home/larry.
    2.  In /var/log/xorg.0.log I have an error displayed:
         (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev"
         I've searched and found that I might also need to use pacman -S xf86-video-fbdev  Do I also need to install this package even though
         I have the xf86-video-intel (i915 Video Driver is used in Debian 6) installed?  Some postings say don't use it as it is SLOW?  I haven't
         a clue????
    3.  My .xinitrc in /home/user has startxfce4 enabled, but xfce never starts.  But, I can ONLY login as root, and that might be causing the
         problem by not using /home/larry/.xinitrc  I've only got two partitions on my USB Flash Drive and they are / (1.95 Gig) and also
         /home (1.96 Gig).  I'd like to get Arch running from USB Flash Drive before I install on a Hard Drive.  If I am logged in as root, how can
         I get xfce to start
    4.  I installed the ttf-dejavu fonts with pacman -S ttf-dejavu   I got an error stating: mkfontscale:  /usr/lib/libz.so.1 Version ZLIB_1.2.5.2 NOT FOUND!
         How do I correct this missing lib problem?
    I've got my Wifi working via a small script, so far I've kept fixing the errors/problems and I'm keeping a log so I can duplicate the process.
    I just need a bit of help getting the above issues solved.  When XFCE finally runs as my Desktop I'll be happy.
    Thanks.
    Larry

    1) Congrats.
    2) You can remove it, but I don't think it should matter; it will likely only take up a bit of space.
    3) Glad that's working.  This means X is set up well.  If you do find yourself in the TWM environment again, the default is pretty vanilla.  To exit I believe you just type "exit" into each terminal, when there are no running 'clients' remaining, TWM and X quit.  Alternately, you can Ctrl-Atl-F1 to get to tty1 (or where ever you ran startx/xinit from) and hit Ctrl-C to force-quit X.
    Other) X can be fairly verbose.  I don't think those warnings are anything to be concerned with, unless they seem related to a feature you are lacking.  It is common for programs to try one feature and fall-back on another if it is not available.  I suspect the gtk warning is just this sort.  I get a boatload of gtk warnings whenever I run many gui apps, but everything works fine.  The thunar error is likely because you don't have one of the addons installed.  Thunar has many bells and whistles that can be added, and it may be checking for all of them when it starts.  The warning says one of them is not there.  If it's a feature you want, check out the thunar wiki's and install the required packages - otherwise, I suspect it's safe to ignore.
    Do you have Xfce up and running?

  • ITunes will not install, error message.

    So, last week my itunes update download the lastest version of itunes. When I went to click on the itunes icon to went to install.
    It gave me the error message "the installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file c:\program files\itunes\ituneshelp.resources\es.lproj\ituneshelperlocalized.dll"
    Since then I have tried various solutions to similar problems listed here and other sites, including turning off the user control, unpacking the installer and installing the various parts separately, downloading older versions of itunes, removing all other apple components, installing Quicktime and then installing iTunes, etc.
    Every time I get through a good part of the process and I get the same error message "the installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file c:\program files\itunes\ituneshelp.resources\es.lproj\ituneshelperlocalized.dll"
    I'm about to give up... someone please help!!!

    Looking through some other posts I found a solution. Go on the web and download iTunes only, do not automatically install. Then, install the file and when it askes you the destination, change the folder name (I just added a 2). iTunes then installs and all of you songs, playlists, etc. are there.

  • ITunes WILL NOT install-error messages 1714,1603

    I have attempted to install Itunes (various builds) and keep receiving the same error messages...1714 (older version of ITunes can not be removed)immediately followed by error 1603.
    I have read every message regarding installs and have attempted to install QT on its own and then attempt to install Itunes, (no dice), uninstall and remove all references to ITunes and QuickTime in the registry (still no soap) and also use Windows Installer Remover (AND STILL no results).
    I have a $400 IPod that I cannot use since I can't install Itunes.....any suggestions?

  • ITunes won't install - Error 7

    I tried to install the new itunes version the other day on my ipod touch but got an Error 7 message followed by this:
    the procedure entry point kCMPyteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll.  It also told me to re-install itunes but I didn't after reading some other posts that said it didn't help to do this.
    I've read other posts talking about QTXX.dll problems but this one seems different.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Hi!! I finally found a solution
    I´m Sure this one will work for everyone
    -First you have to uninstall all Apple Software using Control Panel
    -Download Unlocker Software from softsonic heres the link http://tinyurl.com/3e8gj2h
    or google it
    -Install Unlocker
    -Go to Start and type this in search: %programdata% 
    -ProgramData window will open, so find apple folders
    -Right click in each apple folder and find Unlocker in the options
    -Choose Delete each apple folders (with unlocker program)
    -Go to My PC, C Local Disk and find Program Files
    -Look for Apple folders and Delete them (with Unlocker)
    -Find a Folder (in Program Files) called Common Files
    -Delete all Apple Folders (in common files) with Unlocker
    - Empty your trash can (thats what i did)
    -Reboot
    -Install Itunes
    Note: You can Reboot or use Safe Mode to use Unlocker if it doesnt work.
    ....and that's All
    AFTER Days of frustration LOL
    Good vibe, Love and Blessings for all!!

  • Itunes will not install error message 2

    I keep getting some message about something, it then rolls back, carries on, then comes up with error message 2 at the end.
    Tried uninstalling and re installing, tried installing apple applications support manually, tried to edit the stuff in the registry which worked....until i plugged my phone in then itunes said my phone wasn't compatible, told me to uninstall and re install, I uninstalled and then it's back to square one, won't install again.
    I don't know what else to do because all the solutions offered on here i've tried about 40 times.
    Getting really fed up - this should be a simple process, not something that takes 4 hours and still isn't working.
    Sort it out Apple!

  • ITunes upgrade-QuickTime certificate error message

    Music, Home, Movies, TV Shows page in ITunes store won't display on my screen for more that 2 seconds, appears and then immediately disappears from view so that I can't use page to do anything, can't buy music, etc. But ITunes University will display. I've tried to update to the newest version of ITunes 10.2 but when it is installing, I get the message that there is a problem with the Quicktime certificate and it aborts the install. Do you know why the Music page won't stay on my screen (all playlists and toolbars remain but all the content on the Music page just disappears after 2 seconds)? There is no option to just upgrade ITunes without Quicktime so I'm stuck. What to do?

    Try turning off User Account Control in the control panels.
    To disable UAC:
    1) Go to the Control Panel for Windows Vista
    2) Search for the User Account control panel
    3) Select the account being logged into and choose to disable User Account Control.
    You can turn it back on after iTunes is installed.

  • Itunes 6.0 install error

    im on windows xp and as soon as i double click the itunes setup it tells me that i dont have sufficent privleges to install for all users.
    this however is not true because
    1) i am the only user listed aside from guest
    2) under user info it states that i have admin privleges
    the error message also refers to d:/windows/downloaded instalations
    but i dont have a d: drive, my windows is in C, and when i look in that folder in the C drive it is empty.
    any help is greatly appreciated

    Unless that is where you saved the download (which I doubt) you are launching the wrong one. Usually windows will default to the last folder used for a download. When downloading from apple make sure you take notice of the path or just save it to your desktop.
    A better way to verify you are in the administrator group is to open Computer Management. Rt Click on My Computer and then click on Manage. Expand the Local Users and Groups" then click on the groups folder. The administrator group is listed in the left and if you click a window will open with the users in the group. I have heard of people having success with this by creating another user with admin rights even though the one you are using has admin rights. Remember to turn off firewall/virus/privacy/web accelerators.

  • Itunes 10.5 install error

    Hey!
    I have a problem installing the new itunes..
    I already have tried to uninstall all of the earlier Apple software as Itunes, bonjour and so on..
    Now when i try to install the new Itunes, and then suddently it freezes in 10-15 minuts.. and then it gives me an error message..
    Microsoft.VC80.CRT,tybe="win32",version="8.0.50727.6195,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9 a1e18e3b",peocessorArchitecture="x86"
    HRESULT: 0x800736FD
    I run Windows 7 64-bit
    ASUS Notebook

    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
    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?

  • PS CS6 upgrade mac, install error

    Hello,
    I just received the upgrade to PS CS6 for Mac.  I currently have PS CS3.
    I tried installing, but the installer aborts about 2% into the installation process.  when I click on the error description I get this:
    Exit Code: 22 Please see specific errors and warnings below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW041 ...
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 1 fatal error(s), 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)
    FATAL: DW041: INSTALLDIR cannot be the root path -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I tried the following, reboot after each process and tried to install each time:
    1. checked the HDD to make sure there's no issue with the drive
    2. repaired permissions
    3. checked for space: there is 45G free space on /Application
    4. uninstall PS CS3 (kept the preference file)
    5. boot into Safe Boot mode
    6.  install from two different admin accounts
    all comes back with the above error.
    do I have a bad disk, or is there something else I should try?  the error code almost sounds like it's trying to install in / and not in /Applications or something (install program not setting the INSTALLDIR variable correctly...?)
    any help is much appreciated.

    Hi,
