This itunes update is killing me. (for windows vista)

I have tried everything and it is still not installing properly. When I tried to delete the apple folder from my c drive it says I don't have permission. This is not fun.
There has to be a simple way to do this. Before this update itunes was working perfectly.

R6034 Runtine error now. I have tried deleting the files as one thread suggested and nothing seems to work.
Many thanks. Doublechecking: have you also worked through the following user tip?

You don't need to open iTunes to back up the library. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates and look in the further information area for backup advice.

I installed iTunes update on my pc running windows vista and now it will not open. Error message MSVCR80.dll missing???

First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you still get the errors after that, try the following user tip:

New itunes 11.1.1 Version for Windows Vista

I downloaded the new iTunes Version, I cannot open it as it gives me "The iTunes Library .itl cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the
"iTunes folder" in the "Music" folder". I unistalled the program and re-installeded 2 times; followed the iTunes support advise of deleting the SC info.sidd and SC info sidb; restarted the computer and stil lhave the same error. I tried following instructions from a previous post here but, I cannot find the Choose Library option to see if it works once I locate the .itl files.
Any suggestions?? The previous update about a month ago, took all of my music -with the exception of the latest purchased files--off. The library was gone. Then before this update last week, it would not transfer any of the recently purchased music from my iphone to the ipod once it downloaded to the itunes.
Any advise is greatly appreciated.

ITunes Update for Windows Vista 64 bit

Does anybody know when this is going to be released. I got an iPhone and can't sync it with the latest version of Windows Vista. The friendly staff at AT&T forgot to tell me that I would not be able to use my iPhone until iTunes came out with an update for Windows Vista.
Thank You.

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Error - iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3 ???

In Windows 8 I received the error iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
I've tried changing permissions and sharing - nothing seems to work. mat be a Windows 8 issue???

You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter. That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.

What happened to Podcasts in Itunes 10.4.0.80 for Windows?

I just installed Itunes for Windows on Windows 7, it is version 10.4.0.80, on a new computer. I went through the proceudre of subscribing to a podcast by going into Advanced >> Subscribe to Podcast. I expected to be able to see my subsribed podcast appear when I click on the Podcasts header in the navigation tree on the left. This is when I noticed that there is no Podcasts header. In the new version under "Library" I have "Music", "Films", "TV Programmes" and "Radio". I can't remember what version I was using before but I am pretty sure there used to be Podcasts here too. It doesn't appear anywhere on the list. Clearly the podcast section has just been moved somewhere, but where? I have repeated the action of subscribing several times and that seems to work with no errors, so it is definititely not a case of there just not being anything subscribed to. I only use Itunes to listen to podcasts, so this is rather crucial for me! Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this mystery.

I found this happeneing too since upgrading from 10.3.x to 10.4 and can't beleive its still there in 10.5.
Mine gets to between 1.2 and 1.6Gb before I get the 'Can't save library' error popup. If it happens late at night then the next day iTunes may be completely unresponsive - can't even bring it in to focus, so have to kill the process in Task Manager.
This iTunes instance has been running for 15min short of one day of continuous playback! and based on it's current memory leakage, it's about to fail.
For what it's worth, you can downgrade to 10.3 (you should be able to find sites archiving previous versions - Apple used to provide a link on their iTunes page, but I can't find it now). I was running or over a week with no decernable memory leakage, but as I wanted to upgrade to iOS5 on my phone, I had to go to 10.5. I've got a MacBook Pro too, so may use that for iPhone updating and see if iOS5 will still sync music on 10.3 ...via direct USB connect of course!
But, you'll also have to find the various guides for downgrading.
Loosly put, you have to locate the backed up .itl files in your profile. It will have a date stamp in the filename to indicate when the upgrades took place.
i.e iTunes Library 2010-11-22.itl
It's a bit of trial and error unless you know how many upgrades you've done since 10.3!
On Vista/Server 2008, the path to the backups is
Users\<your user ID>\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries
Make a copy of your current .itl (in the parent iTunes folder) and copy and rename one from the backups. You'll need to rename the file back to the same as the current one (iTunes Library.itl)
Hope this helps and hope that Apple pull the finger out of their cloud!

Error in Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Hello Everyone,
I am a regular user of I-tunes but recently i dont know why but I got some error in Launching I-tunes. So as recomonded by "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7" section. I started removing the products. But after removing Quick time, I tried to remove Apple Software Update but while uninstalling it gave error that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." and the uninstall rollbacks.
Please send me a feasible solution to this problem.
Thank You.

Uninstalling the iCloud control panel should allow you to do that folder deletion.

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?
