Trying to upgrade itunes from 10.1.1 to 10.1.2 and it's hanging up

Hi,
I'm so frustrated! I got a new iPhone today and want to be able to synch it with my itunes, but i needed to update itunes to the latest version. I click check for updates, it tells me there is a new version, i start the download, and half way through, i get a message to close itunes to continue the installation. I do that, and it seems to be continuing, the status bar is moving, but it never finishes. It sits at 'installing 1 item' and says 'running package scripts' and it stays there for at least a half hour now. I tried dl'ing itunes all over again and the same thing happens. Any ideas out there? Thanks so much!

try *removing iTunes completely* (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
note this will not do anything to your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    invalid signature error when trying to install itunes 12.01? 

    Praise God - I found the solution after hours of work: (1) Uninstall all Apple programs (itunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, .....); (2) Go to "Common Files" and delete all Apple files - this might be difficult for some are locked from you - you may have to change the "Owner" of the file in order to delete it - if that doesn't work "Rename the Apple Follder to something like Apple Old - that's like deleting it.  Then download 10.5 from Apple and away you go - yippee.

  • Tried to upgrade iTunes, now it's missing from my computer

    I tried to upgrade iTunes, but it basically froze. I cancelled the installation with the intention of just trying over. Now, the icon is missing from my desktop. When I go to the program in my computer, it won't start. What do I do to get it up and running again?

    How are you getting this itunes update? Through the Apple Software Update program? Or the apple itunes download page?
    My advice is to go to the apple itunes download page, choose SAVE to save the entire file to your PC's hard drive, and click the iTunesSetup.exe file after it has entirely downloaded. You don't say your version of WIndows, but it's also a good idea to right-click and choose "Run as Adminstrator" with that setup file.
    If you still have trouble with QuickTime, there is also an apple download page for a QuickTime standalone installer.
    I always back up my itunes Library.itl database file before upgrading itunes, by the way. I put a copy of it on my little USB stick or one of my exHDs.

  • I tried to upgrade itunes and i get windows error 7

    i tried to upgrade itunes and i get windows error 7 - it says "The procedure entry point AVCFPlayerEnableHardwareAcceleratedVideoDecoderKey could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • I tried to upgrade iTunes version 10.6.1. But the following appears "The feature that 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 package iTunes.msi"

    I tried to upgrade iTunes version 10.6.1. But the following appears "The feature that 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 package iTunes.msi". Can someone tell me how to resolve this?

    "The feature that 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 package iTunes.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?

  • Trying to upgrade itunes says it cant find the source file for bonjour or quicktime. so it won't update. any help?

    Trying to upgrade itunes. it says it needs the source file to upgrade bonjour and quicktime. I downloaded itunes from a website originally. So therefore, i do not have a "source file" now i try to open itunes and i get a message that says something like "action only valid for installed software. Any ideas? oh ya, and i tried to delete itunes and bonjour and quicktime to start all over but it also said it needs the source files.

    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, QuickTime and Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Upgrading iTunes from 10.1.2 to 10.5

    I'm trying to upgrade iTunes on my Mac from 10.1.2 to 10.5 and it's not installing. I thought that I would have had the most recent version since my Mac is supposed to automatically tell me when I need to updates something and it doesn't seem to be doing that either. Any ideas as to why?

    No response from Apple Discussion Community.  But iTunes Store became operatuibal as of 11/30/2012

    I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes.  I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

    Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

  • TS3694 itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?

    itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?
    I get the following:
      (1) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? Yes/No
      (2) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices. OK
      (3) iTunes error message - A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) OK
      (4) iTunes error message - We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) There is an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later. OK
    Okay, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall. Funny, iTunes can be found in a program folder, but it does not show up in the programs list. I tried to look for it using the command prompt ("wmic" --> "product get name") but iTunes is not there either. Doesn't even show up in the registry to try to uninstall.
    I just want to "properly" uninstall and reinstall iTunes (plus the other usual suspects, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, & Apple Application Support). If anyone out there has any suggestions, please help! (I'm running Windows Vista -- don't judge/laugh) :-)

    Okay, feeling like an idiot, but will share so others don't have to. I rebooted my computer and that enabled iTunes to reappear in the programs list. Don't appear to be having the same problems as before (no error messages now). Problem solved!

    Hi amazer55,
    If you are having issues downloading and installing iTunes, or if your computer for some reason thinks you have already installed iTunes when you have not, you may want to try manually removing all of the associated iTunes files and reinstalling the application entirely from scratch. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Help!  Trying to move itunes from one PC to another but iPod keeps dying

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to move my itunes from my old, sad lap top to a decent used PC. I tried to go the route of using my iPod as a hard drive to move itunes but when i'm trying to load itunes from the iPod to the new PC, the process is interrupted because the iPod loses power. Now what?? I'm goin nuts...

  • HT4061 Hi I tried to upgrade Itunes and it says if I proceed I will lose all media

    I need help as I tried to upgrade Itunes and my phone has a picture on it of ITunes and a plug in.  I can't open anything

    Your phone is in recovery mode.  All data on it are already gone.  You need to connect your phone to your computer via USB and restore in iTunes. 
    If you've been smart and using your phone as recommended, all your data should have been recently backed up so data loss should be neglibible.

    See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for tips on repairing the iTunes installation. One of the tools mentioned there, Unlocker, should be able to force delete the files that you are having trouble removing.
