Latest update for iTunes won't update - says path cannot be found!

I am trying to update iTunes. I have iTunes version 11.1.0.126 and my computer runs on Windows XP v. 5.1. The iTunes.msi installer is downloading to a folder on my computer but then both automatic and manual update fail and I am getting a message saying the "network resource is unavailable" and directing me to choose another path. When I check the path I see that it is entirely correct! When I click on OK i get another message saying iTunes.msi cannot be found! What gives?

Did you ever get an answer? I also have Windows XP and cannot update it gives me the same error you got. The updates were working just fine, then one day when I ran the updates I got the eror so I quit the update. So every subsequent update iTunes said was available will not work. Prior to the first error, I had done nothing new to my computer. PLEASE let me know if you got this issue solved and if so, what did you have to do.

When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??

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
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
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?

Itunes won't open: "the folder cannot be found or created ans is required"

HELP! When I try to open my itunes a message occurs that states: The folder "itunes"cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "my music" folder.
When I click on the my documents/my music folder it is empty.
itunes will launch on other users on the same computer - just not mine.
Any ideas?

Hi,
You don't specify which Windows version you are using or which iTunes version either. Both would be helpful in diagnosing your issue. Also do you have separate partitions (Drives) for your Data and system?
Have you made any changes to the location of your My Documents Folder recently? Also I'm surprised that the My Music folder is totally empty, it should at least contain a shortcut to the 'Sample Music' folder! Have you indavertantly deleted the contents of the My Music folder, or may be 'dragged' the contents with the mouse to another location?
Making a few assumptions, ie. you are using Windows XP, have just one Drive (C:\)on your system and that you haven't changed any of the default settings in either Windows or iTunes:
Firstly do a search in your 'UserProfile' for the following file;
iTunes Music Library.xml
Do the search from the 'C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\' folder and specify under the 'More Advanced Options' that it 'Search hidden files and folders' & 'Search subfolders'. The 'UserName' is the name used to log into your User Account in Windows XP.
By doing this search from your UserName folder it restricts the search to your own profile as the file mentioned will be present in all the other account profiles on the system, that use iTunes.
This file contain all the settings information for iTunes which includes the setting for where the iTunes folder is located. For instance on my system the settings for the iTunes folder location look like this;
+*Music Folder*+
+*file://localhost/E:/Users/Public/Public%20Music/iTunes%20Music/My%20Albums*+
If you find this file in your UserName folders somewhere note their location, it should 'normally be stored in the default iTunes folder. If you have inadvertently moved the contents of the +*My Music*+ folder, this should help you to find where they have been moved to and then you can move them back again to the correct location.
HTH.

Video won't run. telling me to update flash player. click on update for mac won't load?

video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.
Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.

What is the exact error message you are receiving? Have you checked to make sure the connections on each end of the USB cable are nice and snug?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

The latest update for iTunes 11.1.3, iBooks 1.0.1, Mail 1.0 won't update/install properly.

I recently installed Mavericks. The latest update for iTunes, iBooks and Mail do not install properly. I have tried updating individually and the Appstore indicates that they're installed. However after every restart the Appstore shows that the same update is available. I checked the applications folder and clicked on the 3 apps to "Get Info" and they're all still the old versions. I've repeatedly tried to update and install and the Appstore history has shown that I've tried over and over again. Any solutions would be appreciated please!

I'm having this same issue, except Mail and iBooks are both installed, but showing as need to be updated (to same version already installed several days ago). iTunes was also doing this until I manually installed it, but the other two still won't be recognized as updated. I did a sudo softwareupdate -i -a and that failed as well. So I did a
sudo softwareupdate -v --reset-ignored -l and showed this update is somehow broken

I download latest software update for itunes and iphone. they successfully download, but then a message comes up saying unable to install as file has been corrupted. what is the cause?

I download latest updates for itunes and my iphone, when it comes to installing, it successfully downloads, but then i get a message for iphone software error=1403 file corrupted, and for itunes it downloads, then when i try to install it a message says unable to install software, file maybe corrupted!!

The iTunes update must be downloaded and installed before you try and use it to update the iPhone OS
Download iTunes 10.2.2 from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1103
When it completes it will auto mount the disc image and show you the package installer, don't try and do anything with the file until it gets to this stage.
Once that's installed reboot the Mac, run iTunes, connect your iPhone and let it sync, then hit the update button and let it complete that step by itself (which will require a restart of the iPhone)

Itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

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.

HT1926 I keep getting the following message after attempting to download and install the latest update for iTunes: missing MSVCR80.dll. error 7 (windows error 126)

I keep getting the following message after attempting to download and install the latest update for iTunes: missing MSVCR80.dll. error 7 (windows error 126). Anyone else having this issue? How do I get iTunes back in working order?

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 move on 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.

HT4623 I'm trying to update my iPhone 5 to IOS 7 through iTunes. I get a pop up saying I need to update my iTunes to 11.0.5 before I can update my iPhone. The problem is my iTunes is current, and no update for iTunes is found. Any one have any suggestion

I had the same problem. My phone wasn't finding it so I tried plugging it into my laptop and it said I needed the latest iTunes which I already had.... I unplugged my phone from my laptop and did a soft reset to my phone (hold down the lock button and home button at the same time until your phone turns off) once it turns back on you should find the update... Click general... Software update. Worked for me!
