ITunes won't update!!!!! HELP!!!!

I updated iTunes and it said i did, but iTunes 7 won't open. Do i have to download iTunes from the disc all over again?

I updated iTunes and it said i did, but iTunes 7 won't open.
a few questions before proceeding.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?

  • My iTunes won't update, it starts to install then just says it can't. I decided to try uninstall it but it won't even uninstall anymore, there is some type of ERROR going on. I tried to just install iTunes from the website and that won't even work.

  • My itunes won't update from 10.0 to 10.5.

    My iTunes won't update from 10.0 to 10.5.  Every time I try it says that the itunes64 folder is missing.  I have tried to download it manually and repair the connection to the folder but it still won't download.  Please help.

    Every time I try it says that the itunes64 folder is missing.
    Doublechecking. Is it saying that the itunes64.msi can't be found?

  • My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

    My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

    Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • ITunes won't update, unistall or re-install.

    iTunes won't update or unistall. When I try, it says the installer source doesn't exist. When I tried to just reinstall it fresh, it says the old versions of Bonjour, iTunes and Quicktime can't be removed. Any solution for any of this?

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeksare worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select anyiTunes, QuickTime and Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Itunes won't update, ipod unusable without it

    I have an ipod touch. I have been really good about keeping my itunes up to date. The last version I updated to was early this year. It keeps telling me I need to update but that it failed to update after download and that I need to manually install.
    I plugged my ipod in and it asked me to update the ipod software so I did. Then it tells me that the ipod won't work unless I have the 10.0.1. But when I go to itunes and download itunes 10.0.1 it downloads but won't install and tells me I have an invalid drive F:/. I don't even have a drive F. I can't use my ipod now, I turn it on and I have the picture of the ipod being plugged into itunes. But itunes won't update. Nothing online or in any thread I have found has given me a solution. I am very frustrated. Is there anything I can do? Or do I need to uninstall itunes and lose all my music and apps?

    I just put a flash drive into a USB port and then it started the install and when it asked where I wanted to put it I changed it from drive F to C.

  • My iTunes Won't update apps

    My iTunes Won't update apps when i click check update it say"your iTunes library is up-to date"
    awhen i check update From iPhone the it update all apps which are out dated

    It sounds like you've already done the things that would fix most  iPhones.
    You can try restoring your iPhone.
    If that doesn't do it, try contacting Apple through Express Lane. They may be able to gather some aditional logs and pinpoint the exact problem.

  • Help? iTunes won't update iPod

    When I plug in my iPod, iTunes recognizes the iPod and lists it on the column on the left as "Todd's iPod" - but it won't update the songs I have in iTunes onto the iPod. Is there something I can do to manually to make it update?

    iTunes 10.2.x requires Mac OS X 10.5.x or later. If you're still running 10.4.11 like you have listed in your profile then you need to upgrade before you can install the newer iTunes.
    If you have 10.5.x or later then just uninstall your current version and download the new one from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • My itunes won't update. It's looking for 10.6.0.40. Last time it tried to update, I downloaded the msi to my desktop and I deleted it within the last six months. Now I can't uninstall or update.

    The last time my iTunes couldn't update. I used support from Itunes and downloaded it my desktop. My mistake. Because without thinking, I deleted it within the last six months from my desktop, without thinking I'd need it later. For the past month I've needed to update my Itunes and it can't find the msi. Now, my Ipad, my kids' ipod touches and my iphone can't update. Especially the ipod touches, iphone and work ipad have already updated to the OS6. And, now they won't work with this outdated iTunes. Help.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes won't update or open?

    I attempted to update my iTunes on my macbook yesterday and apparently I didn't close the app before I started the update, so it gave me a warning message that in order to complete the installation I had to close iTunes...yet when I clicked on the app to close it I got another error message saying that I couldn't open iTunes during the updating. So, how exactly can I close the app if I can't open it? It looks like it's already closed itself when I started to update it but it keeps telling me it's open. The error message won't go away, either, and it's been on my screen ever since it popped up. Is there a way just to force-quit all my apps or something? Help please I need my music!

  • My itunes won't update; therefore, I can't sync my music to iphone

    When I open itunes, a message pops up that there is an updated version and asks me if I want to download it.  I click download, the message disappears, and then nothing.  I currently have version 11.04.4.  When I try to sync my iphone with itunes, it tells me it won't do it because it requires version 11.1 or higher.  I have tried going to apple.com and clicking the download for the itunes update, but that doesn't seem to work either.  It says I downloaded it, but as far as I can tell, I didn't because I keep getting the same message in itunes that an updated version of itunes is available and asks me if I want to download it.  I have checked to see if my pop-up blocker is too sensitive.  As far as I can tell, it's set on "low."  I am not computer savvy at all.  Can someone please help?

    I realize this is a dumb question, but as I said, I am not computer savvy.  After the download was complete, no pop-up box occurred prompting the install, so as you said, I clicked on start to try to search for the download of it.  What do I look for to find the download of the new itunes version?  I am embarrassed to be so dumb about this and appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

  • ITunes won't update

    When I try to update through iTunes and after it downloads it says an error has occurred try and download again. Then I went on apple.com and tried that way and the installer downloaded. Then when it tried to download after a while it says an error occurred. Configuration couldn't complete so try again. So I did and same thing happens every time. I just bought an Iphone 6 Plus 128g and a I have also a 5s that I can't connect to itunes and restore. So as of right now this is a big inconvenience. I don't have anything on my phones. Thanks for any help. 

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to those above) 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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if iTunes won't install normally.

  • My Itunes won't update normally

    This is a problem I've had for years, but I'd like to see if there's a fix.
    If I use iTunes -> Check for updates... in the menu bar, I get the message
    A new version of iTunes (12.1) is available. Would you like to download it now?
    When I select the "Download iTunes" option, though, my AppStore gets opened on the "Updates" page with the message "No updates available".
    I know I can download iTunes manually from the apple website, but I'd like to figure out why it won't update through the AppStore.
    see: http://webmshare.com/play/aRKBgg

    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPad, and sign into your account again.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.

  • 10.5.1 Won't Update, help?

    Itunes won't, and hasn't for a while, update to the latest version (10.5.1) for Windows 64-bit. Every time I try I get the error message "Error occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists choose Tools> Download Only and install manually." Doing that didn't work either. I also tried downloading the installer directly from apple.com and that didn't work. Any help would be much appreciated.

    i was having the same issue - but downloaded ok from apple.com - anyway your not missing much there still loads of bugs

  • My iTunes won't open help please! what should I do?

    My iTunes won't open, when I try to open it, it says:
    "The file 'i Tunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."
    What can I do about this? please help me.

    Ps.. My quicktime opens and I can search for music and play it but itunes still wont' open
    thank you kindly.
    another couple of preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
    (1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
    (2) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • ITunes won't update my iPod

    I plug in my iPod with or without iTunes open. A dialog box opens and asks me if I'd like to update or restore my iPod. I've tried both options.
    When I click restore I get an error that says "The iPod "jackemstackem" (my iPod's name) could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    When I click update I get an error that says "The iPod "jackemstackem" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (1417).
    I don't know what these numbers mean and I can't seem to figure out how to use all the technical support. I just downloaded the iTunes software, if that helps at all. Somebody please tell me what to do! I'm desperate!

    it's wise to rewind to an older version of iTunes, so you can start to use your iPod again
