On windows 8.1 I cannot update iCloud 3.1 to 4

I have installed iCloud (3.1) about 6 months ago on my windows 8.1 computer, I have tried to update iCloud to version 4.
It start to load then towards the end it says "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH WINDOW INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM RUN AS PART OF THE SETUP DID NOT FINISH AS EXPECTED CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDER" It then uninstalls it.
I have tried to uninstall 3.1 which has removed it from the uninstall panel but iCloud 3.1 is till there.

Okay, I got mine to install.
Under the Start menu it showed iCloud 3.1 as still being installed although it doesn't show up in the add / remove programs.  So what I decided to do was manually uninstall it.  I found the directory where iCloud was installed, which in my case was:
c:\program files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
Close out iCloud if it's still running in the taskbar, I used the Task Manager to close it.
I renamed the Apple folder to Apple.bak and then closed out explorer.  I re-ran the iCloud 4.x install program and it went through the entire installation without fail this time.  After which it'll prompt for you to reboot once the installation completes.

    This fixed the issue:
    1. sign out of iCloud. (make sure you are really signed out or it won't work!)
    2. open Outlook and make sure iCloud is not listed in Account Settings
    3. close Outlook
    4. sign in to iCloud and let it set up Outlook sync
    You shouldn't need to reinstall anything.  Just remember after the above, when you first look at your calendar/contacts in Outlook it will default to show your Outlook calendar and contacts (saved locally).  You may need to select iCloud to see them.

    Do you have an iCloud account?  If so, did you sign into your account on the iCloud control panel and check Photos, then click Options to confirm that Photo Sharing is turned on?

  • HT6413 I cannot download icloud for windows 7

    I am not able to update icloud for windows 7 - I get an error message every time that tells me there is something wrong with the windows installer.  I have had Apple support help me and still I have the same issue.

    Having same problems as LargeMarge67. Tried everything including your advice to no avail. It gets worse, took I phone and lap top to the Apple Genius Bar at Brighton. Instead of sorting out the Itunes download on my lap top first, they updated the software on my iphone to the new IOS5 via their Pcs. they told me the itunes issue was a microsoft one and I could call apple care when I get home.
    Well I did that - on the phone for hours - they told me to uninstall itunes and reinstall.  Tried this, and cannot install Itunes version 10.5.1.  Version 10.4.1 installs fine but as I have the new Iphone software on my phone which only works with Itunes version 10.5.1 I cannot sync my iphone or restore the phone from backup.  Therefore at the mo my phone is useless!!!!!
    Great support Apple for letting me walk out of their store 10 times worse than when I walked in. SomeGenius eh - surely he must have known this would be the issue!!!
    so guys out there - any ideas how to resolve this - as looks like to get my phone working again, I must download itunes 10.5.1.    ahhhh!
    PS I am on Windows 7.

  • Updated itunes to 10.4.1.10 on Windows XP. Now cannot add files or album covers. please help

    Installed latest version of itunes when prompted yesterday. Using hp compaq laptop running Windows XP. Now cannot add files to library or add albulm covers. Tried to play new mp3s from external drive, that I was trying to add. got message saying "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error7 (windows error 1455)"
    Have also had a couple of  "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" forced shutdowns. Cannot find files to reinstall and itunes is telling me I am using the current version.
    Infuriating!!! Can you help me please?

    Asking me what I think is not what really matters here. What do you think? Do you want to wait for another update to iTunes in order to sync or backup your iPad again? That could be weeks down the road - no telling when it may be updated.
    Why dont you go through this support article and see if any of this stuff helps you? The article is for Windows users.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Here is something very simple to try. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then restart your iPad and try to sync/connect again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    Enter Windows features in the search box, tap or click Settings, and then tap or click Turn Windows features on or off.
    In the Windows Features dialog box, clear the Internet Explorer 11 check box.
    Reboot the computer and Check for Updates in Windows Updates of the Control Panel

  • External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

    External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

    Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
    Does the drive now appear in finder..
    If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
    If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.
