The Installation of iTunes 10.4 always fails on my MBP, OSX 10.6.8

i am unable to install iTunes 10.4 on my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.8. The installation always stops with an error message.

iTunes 10.4 is ABSOLUTELY compatible with OS X Snow Leopard. In fact it says it will work in Leopard. If you read the info before downloading you will see those operating system versions mentioined.
There is DEFINITELY a problem with the installer regardless of the version you are using.
I know that doesn't help. The only solution seems to be to create a new admin account. But that doesn't always work.

    "The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable. Enter alternate path to a folder containing the installation package itunes64.msi".
    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:

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've 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".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • After trying to run the iTunes automatic update, I got this "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." Click OK to try again,or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi"

    After trying to run the iTunes automatic update, I got this box on my pc "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi" in the box below.. I ran a search for the file, and entered that into the box, to no avail. Then I launched iTunes and clicked on 'check for updates', and was told I had the latest version 11.0.1 I think it is. So, any clue on what to do? Thanks for any and all help.

  • The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.

    I tried to install SAP GUI 7.20 on Windows Vista X64.  And I got this error message:
    The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.
    This 7.20 version used to run on this operating system fine. I reinstalled the OS, and now I got this.

    Hi,
    I suppose you reinstalled the same OS.
    Did you install the JSDK (java) afterwards. As you must be aware Java is a pre-requisite for the SAP Frontend.
    Also make sure you have set the environment variables after installing java.
    Further documentation, the SAP installation manual can be found in the u201CDOCUu201D folder of the installation software.
    Regards,
    Rohan.

  • When I try to upload the lates version of iTunes, it tells me to enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi. What does this mean as I can't seem to find any such folder and now I cannot uninstall Itunes either

    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 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.

  • "Alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi'"

    Trying to upgrade my iTunes for my new IPod Touch(32GB). It needs a newer version than I have. When running the installer, it must remove the old iTunes first, I assume.  This is what I receive:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below."
    There is a dropdown box with 2 options:
    C:\Documents and Settings\...\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\
    and
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 9.2.0.61

    You're already well on track, then. Launch CleanUp again and remove any iTunes entries this time. Quit CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install.

    I Try registering my card in order to use the services of Itunes so that always appears refused payment method, what should I do?

    If you are referring to a credit card and it being refused, then something is probably wrong with the entry of the card or your account information. It is not matching what is on file for your account. Generally this is the address field. Make sure it matches what you see on your bill exactly. Otherwise, you need tocontact iTunes support. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
