Location of itunes update file in Windows 7

After launching iTunes (10.6.1.7), I am notified that there is an update available, and I approve the download.  Unfortunately, a download location is not displayed nor the exact file name.  A notification that the download is complete is not given.  Specification or modification of a download location for updates is not apparent within iTunes preferences as it is for the media files.  A search by modification date or presumed file name has not been successful.  It is obvious an update is not occurring transparently behind the scenes, because I have repeated this process four times over the past three weeks, each time closing out of iTunes after providing a sufficient time (perhaps 15 minutes) and then relauching only to find the version number unchanged.  A plethora of information is available online regarding downloading purchases but not for routine maintenance.  I could uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc, and then rinse and repeat, but this seems analogous to using a Rube Goldberg construct when all I need is a fly swatter.  I would greatly appreciate suggestions.  Thank you.

Try updating your iTunes 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?

  • HT1926 Trying to Download iTunes. Deleted all old files. I keep getting a message"unable to remove old iTunes update files". What can I do?

    Tried several times to unload all old files. Keep getting tthe same message "unable to uninstall iTunes update files:. What can I do?

    Many thanks.
    (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 Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • How can I locate my iTunes library files. When I click on my itunes icon the message appears, "The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be found because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."

    How can I locate my iTunes library files?  When I click on my iTunes icon rather than my iTunes files I receive, " The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  I have already tried to update my iTunes program.

    Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
    1. Delete old Library file
    2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
    3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension -  'iTunes Library'
    You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file.

Has just become a cycle.  Apple, are you working on this?

  • Best Location for iTunes Library Files

    Greetings:
    Ive moved all of my iTunes media to NAS.  Is it best to have the iTunes library files on the NAS or should I leave on PC.  What are the considerations?   thanks in advance.  John

    It depends a bit on the size of the library. Each action with iTunes causes the database to be updated and there can be some detectable overhead if the library files are stored remotely. On the other hand it is then much easier to backup and restore or migrate the library to a new system if everything is located in a portable layout on that NAS. See Make a split library portable for some background. In practice it may be best to move the library files to local storage for performance but be prepared to move them to the correct path to make the library portable when the need arises.

    Hello jackhennessy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below as an administrator:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.  You can find the full article here:

  • Where are the iTunes update files kept? I need to delete them all.

    As it says on the tin.
    I have found articles about removing update files on Macs, but not Windows.
    WAIT!
    %appdata% > Apple Computer > Itunes
    Thanks!

    It depends on how you have iTunes Preferences set. The default is that when you drag files into the Music list they are copied into the library (so now you have two copies). You can change this so that all the iTunes Library contains is a references to the files - effectively an alias. Obviously if you move the files, iTunes can't find them.
    In your case, if your iTune/iTunes Music folder and the album folders inside it contain actual music files then the files outside the iTunes folder are duplicates and can be removed. If the files are simply references, and thus very small, then you can't remove the actual music files.
    The quick test is to close iTunes and remove them temporarily. Then open iTunes and see whether your songs play. Scroll through the list looking for the small i in a circle sign to the left of the title which indicates it can't find the file. If you don't find any then you are safe to get rid of the duplicate files.
    In doing all this do not tamper with anything in the iTunes folder.

  • Itunes updated files and now I'm locked out - help

    So I just plugged my Ipod classic into the PC to charge it and Itunes opens up and says 'updating files'.
    The old files (over 20gb of music and movies) are still on it, but it looks in the usage bar to have compartmentalized them off.
    It then copied the whole lot over again... so now all the same files are on it twice.
    And when I turn it on it has no files. No music, movies or the games i've downloaded. Nothing.
    2 days ago I logged into my apple account on Itunes and downloaded a game for the Ipod. It didn't try to update it then, and didn't earlier today when I plugged it in. But this time it did what I mentioned above.
    So now I can't access any of my music or movies on it. Help.
    Will I have to restore it and start again?
    EDIT: I've just plugged it in again, and it has added the 2nd lot to the compartmentalized files and tried to copy it all over again. So I forced it to stop syncing and ejected it.

    Nevermind.
    I called the number on my warranty we ended up having to restore it and start over.
    Still don't know what caused the issue in the first place, so ill leave this marked as unanswered for now.
    If anyone knows why it would do it please let me know
