Trying to install iTunes 10.5 but wont install and it just seems to hang for several hours and do nothing. Need help cos otherwise I cant update to iOS5 on my Iphone 4. Thx
I have tried many times today to install iTunes 10.5 in order to update to iOS5 on my Iphone 4 however it just wont work. I have a MacBook Pro and when I use the software update it says that I have already downloaded iTunes 10.5 but when I go to install it and it says it is writing the files and the bluw bar is working its way across the page and then becomes very very slow and and at the last millimetre it seems to just hang there and do nothing. I even left if like this for several hours and nothing progressed. I have since tried to update via the iTunes program and the same problem happens. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
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

My problem is a sudden loss of ability to get to PSE12 Organizer when I tried to load a saved scan. Had been using the Organizer and the Editor with no problems for several hours just before that.
Can not load the Organizer from the icon at the bottom of Editor screen, from the icon on the MacBook Air dock (OS 10.10.2), nor from the file in applications located with Finder.
I have tried without success to access Organizer after turning off and on the scanner, turning off and on the computer, loading a fresh copy of PSE12 from the CD, and restoring default preferences. I have searched on line for other options but not found any.
Can you help me?Not Charge

I got a new cord from apple and still same thing. What do I do next?
Chris....
Thank you for your considerate and thorough response.
I think what most of ya'll don't realize is that this OP first appeared in the Using ASC forum - or else I would never have even seen it.
Whether it was mis-posted by the OP in Using ASC (happens ALL the TIME), and subsequently moved to the appropriate iPhone forum, or was mis-directed to the Using ASC forum list by the New SiteWare (happens all the time too) -- is irrelevant. I have gotten tired of trying to track which one as it seems there is and may not ever be a solution.
When you see me in a thread/forum other than Using ASC, OS 10.4.11, Powerbook or Quicktime... you can be certain that one of the two aforementioned happened.
The fact that it was in that list is precisely why I think it is important for those who frequent there to be somewhat jacks-of-all-trades to an extent.
I can certainly evaluate whether an OP has provided adequate information for someone else who's bailiwick in eventually falls to help (and not have to do the simple job - "did you read how to make a good question?" )
Thanx agin Chris

Help me,ANYONE!
I was a fool thinking downloading OS X MAVERICKS offline would be easy if I cleared my WHOLE HD, WELL the past 2 days ive been trying to figure it out in disk utilities and in terminal to run os x mavericks installer but nothing will work, it also says OS X cant be installed because a recovery system cant be crested.... plzz... someone help.. idk, ive been pretty **** emotional about this and about to throw laptop out the window..

Specs are mid 2010 15" screen.This might depend on how you made your installer. If it is a flash pen installer that you made yourself, depending on how you made it, it has consequences on what is installed.
I am assuming that you have made an installer?
If you have and you did it manually, without using the Terminal command then it is a know caveat that a recovery partition is not installed as part of that procedure. The second method to create a bootable installer, using Terminal, will allow and install a recovery partition.
See here (without Terminal): http://www.macworld.com/article/2151706/create-a-bootable-mavericks-install-driv e-for-newer-macs.html
& here (with Terminal): http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html
Alternatively, have you zapped the PRAM and SMC, prior to trying to install?
See here: About NVRAM and PRAM
Some of these might help or even answer your query...
Good luck. -
My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.
Hi Lauren,
When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
- The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
- The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
- Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
- If the display turns on, go to step 4.
- If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks,
Matt M. -

Network disconnects after Mac mini is running for several hours but a reboot fixes it
i have updated my Mac mini to Yosemite but now it has a networking problem after running for several hours . Trying to open a webpage in Safari or chrome doesn't work, the remote site appears to disconnect. Mail is not downloaded and email already downloaded has no images when I display them. Interestingly DNS resolution is working nslookup finds the IP but telnet to a web site on port 80 gets an instant disconnect.
THe connection ion is wired into a hub and the ISP connection is fine from the other computers on our home network.
I am now rather perplexed how to fix this without constantly rebooting the Mac which just goes against the grain.Hi loseph94,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that issues with your computer running slowly can be frustrating. In this situation I would recommend reading over and using the information located in the attached article to help troubleshoot the issue.

Have a great day,

i am trying to install itunes 10.5 but I get an error message that says "click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi..." I try to point iTunes to the .msi file on my c drive but then it gives me a message says "the file location is not a valid installation packaage for the product iTuness. Try to find the installation package 'itunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes". Any help, insight, guidance would be greatly appreciated!!
"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:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I am trying to install itunes 10.5, but during the download I get the following message, "There is a problem with this Window Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personanal or package vendor." If this is my personal computer and was able to upgrade to the previous version (pre 10.5), why not now? What is my "package vendor"? And what is it I need to do to fix this? The message is unclear. Unfortunately, I deleted my itunes program, thinking that in doing so, 10.5 would finally load. Now I have no itunes on my computer and unable to sync my iphone. Help!

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply.
Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater. -
