ITunesiPod Windows will not update or uninstall

I have a 4G and a 5G iPod, with their software listed in the Add/Remove Programs control panel on my Windows XP desktop machine. My machine **will not install** the last 2 versions of iTunes, so I cannot (for example) access movie videos in iTunes 7. I have tried uninstalling the iPod installs; nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling just Quicktime: nothing. I tried installing new Quicktime over old; it will not install, but rolls back to old. I tried a posted Regedit fix in folder Classes>.cdda. The files supposed to be in .cdda were not there; it was empty. Nothing works. Hint: on my Windows XP laptop, I installed just iTunes (no install of iPod software from the accompanying CDs). Everything works fine there, and updates fine, but not on my desktop where I put on the iPod software. Help help help.

  • ITunes will not update or uninstall

    I have iTunes 11.1.1.11 installed on a 64 bit PC with Windows 7.  It will not update and I cannot uninstall it.  The install file for this version seems to be missing.  I probably deleted it after downloading an update. How can I solve this problem ?

    First try this fixit:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    If that doesn't work you may need the the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
    Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
    Google  msicuu2.exe download
    mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
    Check for malware before installing it.
    After installing, To run the program  – All Programs>>Windows Install
    If you get  permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save the file on your PC.
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista/Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did *not* uninstall, look out for entries that start All Users that are blank entries or have numeric entries that look like version numbers
    restart your PC and try installing iTunes

  • Windows will not update after clean install

    ok, I hope this isn't a common topic, I have searched everywhere for a solution. My laptop was slow, maybe infected with malware. I refreshed it and it wouldn't allow me to update and reinstall 8.1. So, I reset it. Still no updates. I got my hands on a windows 8 disk, formatted the drive and reinstalled windows. I still can't update, I have tried update troubleshooter and microsoft fix it. Neither worked, the updater searches and then says sometimes even update needs an update. So i've tried that. it happens often and it wont complete the updater update, even after troubleshooter claims it has fixed any errors. I  got one error message earlier in week which I can't rememer. I searched out all the info and fixes on it and got nowhere. I gave up on fixing update and tried all the other installers I could find. The only one I could get to work was WSUS. I downloaded all the updates and installed them, in configuration there was an error and it removed all updates. I am losing my mind, this should be simple and has been going on for two weeks. Please help!

    Hi @ludditial 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers and tips.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that you are unable to update to Windows 8.1.  You tried doing a refresh and reset but there was not change.
    You then formatted the drive and installed Windows 8 from a Windows disk but again unable to update to Windows 8.1.
    You have ran the troubleshooter and tried to update the updater to no avail.
    As you did the last installation from a MIcrosoft disk, I suggest contacting MIcrosoft support for assistance or do a  HP
    recovery. 
    This Microsoft article may help you to overcome this issue.   Installing the Windows 8.1 Update (KB 2919355). 
    There is a section on the bottom of the page for troubleshooting the installation.
    Here is  a link  to  Contact Microsoft.
    If you formatted the entire drive when you did the Windows 8 installation from the disk you will no longer have the recovery partition and will need to do the recovery from CD/DVDs or USB key.
      If you did not create recovery disks, please contact HP support and inquire about obtaining a recovery kit.
    Please call our technical support at 800 474 6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get a support number for your region. World Wide Phone Support

  • ITunes on Windows will not update any iOS-device

    I have three iOS-devices. An iPod Touch 3rd gen (ver 3.1.3), and iPhone 3GS (4.2.1) and iPad. It's been a really long time that I remember that iTunes offered to update any of them. iTunes itself has been regularly updating and is now 10.5.1.42. The PC is Windows 7 Home Premium.
    So, no updates being offered when I sync the devices, it will always check and say it will check again in a few weeks. I agreed to borrow my iPad to a friend, wiped it, and the moment he hooked it up to his Mac-iTunes, it suggested iOS5. I then decided I need to get to the bottom of this update issue of my own iTunes. I started by downloading the relevant ipsw-files for my phone and Touch and trying a direct shift-restore update. The result is the message: The iPhone ... could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. Same message for the Touch.
    I tried installing iTunes on another computer at home, same message if I check for an update. Same error message if I try using a local file. Tried putting the Touch in DFU-mode, in that case iTunes goes through a lengthy update process, but the result is the same 3.1.3 iOS.
    Nothing in the hosts-file about Apple. The Touch and the iPhone have never had any beta-releases or jailbreak code. The only thing I can think of is that I have two iTunes-accounts. My regular European one, and one to the US store. However, the second iTunes I installed is empty of any purchases and only has been signed on with my European account.
    Any ideas? Have not tried Apple Support yet...if I can even get it for this old devices...

  • Adobe Air will not update or uninstall

    Trying to update Adobe Air and it will get an error and stop.  Tried to uninstall and that will get an error and stop.  Just says error occurred while uninstalling.  or error occurred while installing.. nothing else.

    I'm sorry you're running into installation issues with AIR.  Microsoft has released a utility that can help resolve installation problems.  Would you mind giving this a try and let us know how it works for you?  When running the Fix it, go through the uninstall process and try to remove Adobe AIR from your system.  Once finished, download the latest version of AIR and install again.
    Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It
    If you still encounter problems, we'll need to review the AIR installer log to better diagnose the issue.  Please post back with the log contents.  You can find instructions for finding these logs here:

  • Acrobat Pro 9 on winXP will not update or uninstall.

    I have seen posts for this issue for the mac version.  I am on winXP Pro.  I can neither uninstall or re-install.  I have attempted to follow the technote on manually removing Acrobat. However, I get access denied errors even when running as administrator to the machine.
    Does Adobe have a tool similar to the Norton removal tool, that just removes the entire product?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Good day Ken,
    It sounds like the issue might be deeper than just Acrobat not uninstalling.  I would suggest that you try creating a new Admin user account.  Logging into Safe Mode under that new Admin user and then following the manual removal steps.

  • CS6 Using RGB Color Corrector effect, Reference Monitor will not update?

    When the current tine indicator is on a clip using RGB Color Corrector effect, the Reference window will not update.
    And not only doesn't it update the data on the graph, but if you change the type of scope (Display Mode) (e.g. from RGB Parade to Vectorscope), that also doesn't change until you move the CTI to view a clip without the RGB Color Corrector effect on.
    Anybody can help me to fix this problem, it is very important to me, many thanks!!!

    Take a look here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSCB566F37-A8BA-4b43-8BD2-B6467AAE930E.ht ml
    Here the appropriate quotation from the help:
    Gang the Reference Monitor and Program Monitor
    You can gang the Reference Monitor and the Program Monitor so that both always monitor the same frame.
    Do one of the following:
    In the Reference Monitor, click the Gang To Program Monitor button .
    In the Reference Monitor’s panel menu, choose Gang To Program Monitor.
    In the Program Monitor’s panel menu, choose Gang To Reference Monitor.
    Both Monitors show the same frame. Moving the playhead in either the Reference Monitor, the Program Monitor, or the Timeline will move the playheads in the other two to the same frame.

    my photoshop elements12 will not update says error and contact adobe but not open now for help.  windows vista

    I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
    The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
    Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
    If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?

    Hi Email_user_02,
    Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.  I am very sorry to hear you have been locked out of your email account.
    If I had to speculate as to what has happened I would think that when the home move order was placed your email address was not moved to your new account.  If your email is not linked to a broadband account or premium mail then the message you are receiving would be correct.  However its clear that this is our fault and I am really sorry about this. This is something that I can sort out.
    Can you please get your details off to me in an email?  Just click on my username, (SeanD) and you will find the 'Mods contact link' under the 'About me' section of my profile.  Once I have your details I will be able to confirm what has happened but more importantly I will ensure that nothing happens with this email address.
    Cheers

  • Firefox problems - Can't open from Downloads - Can't print - FF will not update and more and more...

    I've been having several problems with Firefox, to the point that I almost can't use it anymore. In no particular order, they include:
    1. When I download something, 'Downloads' opens. When a d/l finishes I used to be able to run an install or open an image from there, but now I get this error message,
    Windows cannot access the specified device, path of file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
    ...but I can go to my Downloads directory and run or open it from there.
    2. If I go to File > Print or File > Print Preview, I get this
    Printing Error:
    "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now?"
    and if I click yes, i get this,
    "Operation could not be completed."
    3. Firefox will not update itself. I go to About, it downloads the new update, and I click the Apply Update button. Firefox closes, and nothing happens. A few minutes later I click to run it, and it opens with a 'Software Update' window that says,
    Update Failed
    "The partial update could not be applied. Firefox will try again by downloading a complete Update"
    ...and that does not work.
    I download the new version, and when trying to run it from Downloads, I get the error (as in #1 above):
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path of file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    When I go to the folder it's in and run it from there, it installs, but the problems persist.
    4. I go to Help|Troubleshooting Information, and clicking the Reset Firefox button only closes Firefox. Clicking the Show Folder button doesn't do anything.
    5. I used to be able to drag a url to the desktop, a folder or even a email, but now all I get the the O with a / through it.
    6. I also used to be able to, when I click Browse on a site to upload a jpg or a gif, I could right click the file and open it in a photo viewing program (Irfanview or Paint), and now I get
    "Windows cannot access the specified drive, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    I've created a new profile and it makes no difference.
    I've disabled all add-ons and it makes no difference (I have to disable them manually).
    The problems are there for different user accounts in Windows.
    I've uninstalled Firefox, and removed the profile - rebooted and reinstalled it, but the problems persist.
    What more do I have to do more to completely uninstall it?
    I've kinda saved myself by using Firefox Portable, which I'm running from it's own directory. It runs as it should, but I'd prefer not to have to use it.
    If i can't fix it, I'd like to completely uninstall Firefox, and just install it new and have it work properly. I have no (or only occasional minor) problems with Firefox on other computers. This computer is Win XP, fully updated

    The post I was responding to said,
    "Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps. "
    Somehow, I think that means Windows...
    I've tried Firefox in Safe Mode - it makes no difference.
