Most annoying Problem Ever With New itunes update

I was updating itunes the other day to the latest version, once the update completed, i started to listening to music as you do, then the music stopped and itunes closed. ???? so i then installed it again once it wouldn't open and it wont install, when i install i am greeted by a message saying;
"There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to be completed could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor".
When i ok this, the install backtracks then installs again then it says itunes has been successfully installed on your computer....tidy!
But then when i try to open the program it tries to configure itunes the fails with the message "Fatal error 07" then even the shortcuts on the desktop fail.
I have searched extensively everywhere and done everything, uninstalled ever aspect of anything apple, bonjour etc. cleaned registry, disk cleanups. and it still fails.
If anyone has a solution to this problem i will be eternally grateful and you will be invited to my birthday party.
P.S - even bonjour doesnt work aswel as quicktime.
Thankyou, Chris

I have the same problem. Cannot clean Quick Time or Itunes to install new version and now I don't have Itunes. The Windows Clean up Utility is no longer available. QWuick Time is looking for cache files which is not there. I cannot use my Iphone.
Any help?

  • Outlook syncing problem with new iTunes update

    I'm concerned about syncing my iTouch again, as I have major problems from the last time:
    Last week, I updated and synced my iTouch (4th gen) and the synch acted different.  I was faced with "conflicts in Outlook" to review.  I was doing this on the fly, and didn't really think anything of it, even though I hadn't ever been asked this before, so I went ahead without thinking.  Before this, in order for my Contacts folders to not all sync together, I had to make a Contacts folder I named "iTouch Contacts."  When I finished the sync, I noticed that in Outlook, my main Contacts folder now only had about 400 contacts in it (should have about 3000), and my iTouch Contacts folder had over 3000.  Obviously, my iTouch had done something weird and synced differently.  I knew I had some kind of duplicating mess to deal with, but just ended up moving all of the iTouch contacts to the main Contacts folder to deal with it later.  In the next couple of days, I synced it again, and (again) the same "conflicts" and that began to worry me.  When it was all said and done, for some reason, I saw that the iTouch Contacts folder in Outlook had 3000 again.  Without thinking, I was just disgusted and deleted all those contacts.  I later realized that I had deleted the majority of my contacts and that my main Outlook Contacts folder was again down to only 400.  Since most of my contacts are no longer in Outlook, I can't email people from a new email, but must use a previous email and reply to them.  Also, when I look at the contacts on my actual iTouch device, ALL my Outlook Contacts folders are there, even ones I have never had checked to sync with the device.
    My question:  How do I dare sync again...without knowing first how to get all my Contacts transferred from my iTouch to Outlook?  And then how do I figure out how to sync the right folders?  The recent update must have had some changes that just took over without asking me!  I had even unchecked the boxes under the Info tab in iTunes on my device, so as to NOT sync contacts, but it just went ahead and did it anyway.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi lastskier
    Have you browsed through the forums at all? Its worth spending a little while doing so because most problems have been experienced by others and resolved.
    My recommended method for installing iTunes upgrades is:
    1. Back up your iTunes library, and by this I mean locate the iTunes folder (usually in My music) and copy all of it and its contents preferably to a removeable hard drive (they are really cheap now). This is your insurance and if all else fails you have not lost your music files.
    2. Download the iTunes programme from the apple website to your pc - DO NOT install online.
    3. Temporarily disable any antivirus/antispy software programmes (locate the icon in the lower right hand side of your desktop and right click - you should get options to disable)
    4. Run the install and reboot.
    With any luck you will be up and running and the new iTunes will have found your old library and imported it. You will still have a safe copy on your removeable drive.
    Conflicts with AV/antispy programmes are the most common problem with iTunes installs.
    If it doesn't work and you are happy you have a back up of your music, you could try uninstalling all iTunes, iPod and QT s/w using "add/remove programs" and then running thru the steps again. However, this time you may have to get your new iTunes to find your music files on your removeable drive by plugging it in to your pc and getting iTunes to search for it.
    You will have lost any library settings e.g. playlist info play count etc by going this route, but there are fancier ways of dealing with that. You can open up "my Music" folder and reimport your entire back up copy of the iTunes folder and this will preserve your old settings.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • Horrible issues with new iTunes update

    I am having a few issues with the new iTnes update:
    I cannot find a way to view the album artwork in the bottom left-hand corner like I used to. I can't find the option anywhere! I want to see it.
    Some song files have had their song titles, album titles, etc. changed from what I had them listed as. For example, my Footloose file, which used to say the song title was "Footloose" and the album as "Footloose", now shows the song title as "Footloose (from 'Footloose')" and the album title is blank. When I go to try to change it back, it is all greyed out and will not let me change it!
    Song files that I had put in more than one album artwork for, (if the song appeared on more than one album, including greatest hits albums and sountracks) the update now lists them as all individual songs from each one of the albums, so I have tons of repeats. I want it to go back to showing me all the album artwork for ONE file.
    This new update has completely destroyed my iTunes library. I am NOT HAPPY.

    Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.

  • Trouble with new iTunes update setup!

    I downloaded the iOS5 update for my iPod Touch and I got a message saying that I also had to update my iTunes. I downloaded the new iTunes Setup Installer and every time I open up the installer I get the message in the picture I uploaded. I've been trying to fix my Windows Installer for a few days and it seems like nothing is wrong with it so any help or advice will be GREATLY appreciated. Without the iTunes update I can't sync any music to my iPod at all. Please help!

    Is this on a 64-bit system?
    If so, try the following user tip:

  • HT202213 Trying to activate home sharing with new iTunes update, says error #5506, any ideas?  Worked great before this update!

    I'm trying to use home sharing with the latest iTunes update.  Keep getting error message 5506-any idea how to resolve this error and share at home?

    Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
    I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

  • Outlook '03 Calendars no longer sync with new iTunes update

    Using iPhone 3 G, software 2.2.1
    PC running outlook '03
    iTunes version 8.1.0.52
    Everything hunky-dory until the latest iTunes update (8.1.0.52) Now it gets hung up at the sync calendars stage. Just goes on and on. If I de-select. sync calendars, it will sync other info like always.

  • Problems with new iTunes update

    I have recent update my iTunes to 12.1.0.71 on win7, however, the software keeps on not responding. I've tried repairing and re-installing but the problem persists. What should I do?

    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 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 the 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.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • Problem with new iTunes & iPod update

    Ever since installing the new iTunes update I've been having problems updating my iPod.
    At first when I ran the new version of iTunes a message popped up telling me that I needed to update the software on my iPod. Upon trying to do that, another window popped up saying that 'iPod couldn't be mounted'.
    So now my computer can't detect my iPod. I've restored my ipod which didn't help. I would reset my ipod but I can't even do that since when I run the ipod updater program it doesn't detect it. I've tried numerous times to see unplugging/plugging my ipod with the firewire and noticed the ipod hdd was whirring like crazy (and still no detection).
    Since the last time I attempted doing that I've noticed that some of my mp3 files on my ipod have become corrupt and would stop halfway through play and just skip to the next song.
    Any idea whats going on and how I could fix this??

    iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.

  • Hello since i got the new itunes update 2012,my ipod has been having problems,didnt have these before the update

    i have a 120 gig ipod classic,i noticed i was having problems,with itunes taking longer to sync,after spending almost 2 hours up loading all my movies music,to my ipod,then after all was done i would get an error 69 message,in the middle of the sync,then all my music would be on there some movies,music worked fine,most movies didnt except for a few,that happened once,most times after syncing there was no music movies, on the ipod,,then i would reconnect to itunes,tried to restore my ipod was taking forever,then when i clicked restore,would take longer,very annoyed,think its the new itunes causing problems for me,hoping i wont have to purchas up dates,done that before,paid 450 3 years ago for the ipod,paid for lots of music,movies,its not very old,but to apple the thing is probebly considered ancient,any help would be cool,

    Read this Apple Support Article on handling error 69  it may be a bad corrupted file.
    Or worst case the iPod Hardisk need to be check, as you are saying that it is taking longer than usual.
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

    Resolved!
    After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    And that did the trick.

  • How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    The same way it was done in every previous version.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
    Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
    Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

  • Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem.

    Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem. This is doing this when installing itunes/quicktime, safari 5, mobileme control panel, and the software update itself. The itunes version is 10.3.1

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
