Stupid, why download itunes and get a prompt to install a new version once running?

Why not put the new version to download on the site?
Why does it not install quicktime anymore? so stupid to have to do stuff over and over again and get all this stuff to work.
KISS
Keep It Simple Stupid!
Stop mucking stuff up and making it harder for us IT guys.

Plenty of non-IT guys and girls have no problem selecting Help/Check for Updates in iTunes and following any prompts they see. Whenever I've done this, or when iTunes has informed me that there is an update, I am given a choice to download, or not, everything I need, including Quicktime. I simply don't un-check the Quicktime download.
Since this is done in iTunes, there is no need to "download from the site".
Personally, I think it is simple. Mind you, I am an ex-IT guy.

    My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

    My iPad2 works great now after IOS 8.1 Update
    I did my iPad2 update thru iTunes on my iMac and it was sucking the iMacs memory very low during the update. Safari froze before loading the first web page and I did a hard boot and went fishing as I saw where it was going to take a long time to recover. When I tried again it wasn't quite right and then did one more hard boot and then did a Reset by going to General-Reset-"Reset all Settings" and it works real well now without loosing any data and in-home wi-fi clocks at 17Mbps download. Probably like most of you I’m sticking with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks as it gets the job done very nicely and don’t need all that extra fancy stuff that probably will slow things down.

  • I just downloaded itunes and get an error message (-3212) when I try to connect to the store.  I have an hp pavillion using Windows 8.1

    i just downloaded iTunes for my Windows 8 laptop and get an error message when i try to connect to the iTunes store (-3212)

    Hello Steve,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.  I recommend the following steps for error (-3212):
    "Error 3000" through "3999"
    Alerts with codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try removing the proxy settings, or using a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • Trying to download game and getting Spooge drivers not installed message

    The game is Dawn of War and everytime I try to download it I get that message, I am going through what hotfixes from microsoft I can for my graphics card but so far they aren't doing the trick. I don't know if this is the right forum for this or not but hopefully someone can at least point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help.

    There's something wrong with your DirectX install. Dawn Of War will not run under Parallels or VMWare Fusion.. Also Parallels has been known to hose DirectX. Click your START menu in Windows and then RUN. Type: dxdiag and runs through some tests.
    redownload DX web installer and install the latest version.. DoW should play fine afterward. I don't think the game will run under integrated graphics cards too- the shaders are not present.

  • Why google toolbar and bitcomet plugin is not supporting in new versions?

    bitcomet plugin was supported in firefox 4,5 version but not supporting in new versions after that, similarily google toolbar also...

    Google is not supporting the Google Toolbar after Firefox 4.0 which is effectively saying they are not supporting it at all since it did not work properly before and Firefox 4 itself is not supported by Mozilla.
    Bit comment was probably prevented for your safety.
    '''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.

  • Any idea why "download itunes" and other parts of the site are down?

    I finally found another bit of the site that allowed one download option, the windows 32-option. Of course I need the 64. I just had to reformat my PC, and I want to get going on this. The site has been down long enough that I've reloaded everything else, including my music. The whole problem was that my USBs weren't recognized for, oh about 4 months, so I have tons of stuff to add to the pod.
    Oh, here is there error:
    The webpage athttps://swdlp.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/SoftwareDownloadApp.woa/wa/getProduct Data?localang=en_us&grp_code=itunes&returnURL=http://www.apple.com/itunes/downlo ad&isMiniiFrameReq=N might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
    Error 501 (net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE): Unknown error.

    Recently both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • HT5654 when i attempt to download the 11.1.1 version of itunes i get a prompt stating the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. i cannot seem to find this path on my system. what do i do?

    How do I install iTunes 11.1.1 when I get a prompt stating " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I have done a search for the .msi file/folder and cannot find it?

    (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 iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have a pc and recently bought an older mac pro - probably 2009 model.  I cannot seem to get my library from Itunes to open on the Mac like it does on the PC when I bought a new one I just downloaded Itunes and my whole library came up.

    I can't seem to get my Itunes Library to come up on my Mac.  When I bought a new PC last year I just downloaded Itunes and all of my previous library came in but that isn't happening with my Mac Pro.  Is there an easy way to do that?

    After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one,  When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine.  How do I correct this.

    Hello Lakesidetom,
    It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:
