ITunes won't upgrade my 3GS.

I'm wanting to go to 4.3.3, I'm at 4.2.1 but iTunes says that my system is up to date. Am I doing something wrong? I've updated before and never had this problem. Thanks for any input.

I'm not getting an error message. When I select the update button, it scans and then tells me that 4.2.1 is the latest version.

ITunes won't upgrade to10.5. Error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor". I need help.

iTunes won't upgrade to10.5. I'm on 10.1.17.
When installing 10.5 it terminates with an error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor".
It does not provide an error code or details/description to further troubleshoot. As a result I can't upgrade my Apple devices to leverage the cloud.
Any smarts out there who could help?
Using PC Win-7 w/IE 7 (should that matter)
Thanks much

I know there's a million threads like this, but I thought I'd record my experience. I, too, was having the original poster's error when I tried to update iTunes on Windows XP. I think I was stuck on 10.
I solved it by un-installing iTunes and every other Apple app. I discovered that Apple Software Update would not un-install as its MSI file could not be found. I used the "Windows Install Cleanup" tool from Microsoft to remove Apple Software Update from the list of installed programs. Google "kb290301" for a Microsoft page that includes a download link for it. After that, I was able to install a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5.2.
I'm not sure why this app's folder and MSI were missing from my computer. I had once used Laplink PC Mover to move everything from my old computer to this one, and perhaps it missed a bit.

Itunes won't upgrade IOS on device

Using ITunes 10.2, and Mac OS X ver 10.6.7. I'm trying to update Iphone 4 and IPad to IOS 4.3.3 and ITunes won't upgrade the device. It download the upgrade, backs up the device, but then says, I don't have the authorization to update the device. Sometimes if I log on as a test user, with admin rights it will allow the change, but then it wipes all the information and files on the device too.
The apple's primary account, with ITunes is what I use to sync and download new apps and stuff, it should also be able to update the IOS, any ideas why it's not letting me?

Then I tried to update itunes and nothing happened. It wouldn't even start to upgrade.
With that one, try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that go through any better for you?

Itunes won't recognize Iphone 3Gs

Itunes won't recognize my new iphone3Gs. I've done everything there is to do except upgrade itunes to 8.2 & can't do that because of error-no access to windows installer. Any help would be appreciated.

What's the operating system?
What's the exact error message?
You might be able to download windows installer form the microsoft website and get past that error.

ITunes won't recognise iPhone 3GS (Vista 32bit)

Hi.
I brought a 32gb iphone 3 days ago from the carphonewarehouse and the guy said in the store O2 will activate the phone within the next 24hours. Fine.
Waited 24 hours then tried to sync the iphone to my windows vista Pc with itunes all loaded up, but itunes wouldn't recognise the iphone at all.I have spoken to o2 4 times and apple tech twice for 2hours each, doing complete removal of all apple/itunes related stuff then reinstalled itunes. I did this 3 complete times, and still itunes won't recognise the iphone even with the lastest itunes.
If i go onto My Computer the actual PC itself picks it up but itunes won't.
I ran a diagnostics test on itunes to find that under Ports:it says "NO iPhone or iPod found"
The next test :iPhone/iPod Touch sync tests
Results: No iPhone/iPod Touch found?
ALL the other diagnostic tests i did showed all GREEN just these two are RED,which i am now?
So yesterday mum and I decided to try and download itunes on my mums work laptop as a last resort since it won't work on my Desktop Pc.
Downloaded the lastest iTunes from apple then synced the iphone, IT picked it up instantly (at this time the iphone haden't been activated but it has now thanks to my mums laptop.)I just ran through the procedures then, tried to sync it to my Desktop Pc. I had no luck. Same again itunes carn't recognise it at all. I need to get it synced to my desktop PC becuase i have over 1000 songs and over 20 movies on my itunes.
I just don't know what to do, would appreciate some insight :confused:
Thanks.

Greetings,
Make sure to run the Apple Update routine on the PeeCee - the PeeCee can be such a royal pain, and even though you aren't required to reboot, I would, as Winblows doesn't pick up on updates as it should.
The next trick would be to reinstall iTunes.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Itunes won't recognize iphone 3gs after upgrade to IOS 5

Backup for Iphone on itunes was made on DELL INSPIRON MINI 10 laptop running XP Professional, Thursday evening 10-13-2011.
Upgraded Itunes to new system (ios 5) Friday evening 10-14-2011.
Connected Iphone to laptop Saturday afternoon to sync and upgrade phone to ios 5. after 2 hours phone was wiped clear, and itunes dropped recognition icon from list. several attempts were made to re-sync. all failed, itunes would not recognize. ended up restarting phone and installing upgrade on another computer. Laptop still failed to recognize.
attempted upgrade to Ipod and it locked up on "Disconnect before removing'. opened Itunes dropdown and selected 'Diagose devise' and was able to restore ipod and sync with itunes. afraid to attempt 'diagnose' with iphone, now that it is working.
back-up for iphone still appears on itunes,,,, just can't back it up...XP is unable to 'ICloud' and my DELL Window Vista Home Premium won't install updates so ICloud won't load....

Help please - my computer does not recognize iPhone after upgrading to IOS4 and iTunes 9.2 ---- I have WIndows 7 --- have tried EVERYTHING and still it does not work. I want to do my albums via the computer, not iTunes since it adds the Photo Library folder, which is a duplicate of all my picture folders.
Does anyone have a real solution please? I have uninstalled, installed, deleted drivers, installed drivers - the computer says the drivers are working, but obviously not.
When is Apple going to post the solution so that people will know what to do - seems everyone has an idea, but none are working for me and the extra photo folder frankly drivers me crazy ---- something about iPod cache ----- do not want duplicate pictures.
And, will albums be able to be edited - can these pics not be sent to Facebook.
I know, several topics ----- what a mess Apple has created with IOS4 and iTunes 9.2. Ready to send the phone back!

ITunes won't recognise iphone 3Gs since upgrading to Leopard

I have just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard (all updates are done) and now neither my or my wife's iPhone 3Gs are being recognized by iTunes. I have run disc utilities and restated everything. Sometimes I wish I left things alone! Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers. Steve

Do you have the latest version of iTunes? A good place to post is either the iTunes forum:

or the iPhone forum:

Itunes won't upgrade from 10.4.1 to 10.5.3

Got a free 6th gen ipod nano at work yesterday, come home to put music on it, needs itunes. I download and attempt to install the latest version of itunes for my system (vista 64bit), gets to the end and says a program wont load and cant install, so it undoes itself. finally find an itunes that will install on my computer, 10.4.1.10, but it wont recognize my ipod, and when i try to upgrade to 10.5.3 it still gives me the same error, does apple truly hate windows computers so much that they wont let simple programs install on windows systems?

Regarding 1) and 2), you may need to do something manually to get your schema files ready to be migrated, but the entries you should be able to migrate using the script. Compare with the 5.2 docs, http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6697-10/upgrade.html , for an idea. They don't cover 5.1, but do handle some of the major points for a 4.x to 5.x migration. This also sort of covers 4) and 5).
Good luck with this, and especially with 3) and 6).

ITunes won't upgrade..

Every time i try to upgrade iTunes i get an error message saying "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for the install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." there is no error number, and windows installer works with everything but itunes. I also found out that when i tried to uninstall Apple software update i recieved the same error message, so i think there might be a link there. i'm running windows xp on a dell something or other.. any suggestions?

Hey NathanielH,

ITunes Won't Upgrade from within the Application

Today I clicked on "Help->Check for Updates" in iTunes(iTunes 10.1.1), after which iTunes displayed the message "iTunes 10.2 is available for download" . I clicked on "download itunes" and mouse pointer turned into an hourglass for about 30 seconds and then went back to an arrow. Nothing else happened. I then tried clicking on "Start->Programs->Apple Updater" .
The updated said it was checking for updates and then displayed "all software is up to date". I clicked on ok and then updater window closed.
I went to "Control Panel->programs and features" and then clicked the "repair" option for the Apple Updater application. That ran but the above symptoms did not change. When I tried updating again.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I can surely go to Apple's Web site, download the latest iTunes, and then install the upgrade, but I'd also like to fix the updater so that it works.
Thanks in advance

Hey Jimmy, just wondering how you got on? I've exactly the same problem and don't know what to do either!

ITunes-Won't upgrade, can't removed old version, can't add new version,etc

I just bought a new Ipod yesterday, 30GB Photo/Video. I connected my Ipod however it was not responding to the old version of iTunes which I had, this is when the problems started.
1st. I tried to update my iTunes, I tried with the new disc which came with my Ipod and also from the internet. I tried running and saving the program - both times I received a Error Msg as following:
Error 1406. Followed by some numbers and letters as well as: Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
2nd. I tried to remove my old version of my iTunes to see if I could then use the CD to add the new version, however when I tried to do so I got this Error Msg:
Error 1402. Could not open key: followed once again by some numbers and letters as well as: Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
Followed by Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation
Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information.
Seems like I've tried everything to install, update, and even delete my old version of iTunes to try and get the new version, nothing seems to help. I never had this problem before with my old Ipod, but I'm ready to switch over to my new one. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Thank you

I tried following the steps in the Troubleshooting, however I cannot complete them all as I cannot remove the older version of my iTunes from my computer.
I've emptied my Temp directory and restarted with the same result.
One thing I noticed is I cannot seem to find my Windows installer anywhere on my computer. Could this be a problem?
I've turned off my fire wall, turned off my anti virus program, and updated my computer all with the latest updates.
I've tried placing the program in different locations to see if this would work, but no such luck.
This is what I receive when I try to add the new iTunes from the CD:

If I press ignore and try to continue with the download it's followed by more errors:
