Unable to install Itunes update on mac

This may sound stupid but I am not at all technology savvy. I tried updating my itunes from whatever it is currently to the latest update and it downloaded but won't install because it said my osx or something was too outdated? I have a MacBook I got on Ebay not too long ago and I believe it's a 2010. I never downloaded anything on it so it just has whatever came on it. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me figure out how to update this so I can sync music onto my phone!

First thing to do is click the apple again and click Software Update. That should let you on-line update to 10.6.8. Then you need to decide if you want to go to Lion, 10.7.5 or Mavericks, 10.9.1.
You can definitely go to Lion, to go to Mavericks your Mac must be in the compatible list, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs which it probably is.
If so, to go to Mavericks after the 10.6.8 update, click the App Store in Finder, Applications. Then search for Mavericks, and you can purchase for on-line download for $20.

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

Problem installing iTunes update on Mac mini.

The software update utility on my Mac mini tells me there is an iTunes update. When I attempt to install it, I get the message "The file iTunesXPatch.pkg couldn't be found on the server swcdn.apple.com.
Any suggestions?

Howdy axolotl47,
It sounds like you are trying to update iTunes but are getting this error message when you try. You can also download the iTunes application from the website directly, and install it to get up to date with iTunes.
Here is the link to the webpage to download the application:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Unable to install itunes update- says "trying to use an unavailable network resource"

Hello-
I have been trying to update my itunes on my HP laptop, but it has not allowed me to. I have been on the phone with people trying to figure it out but they said that I would need to contact apple to get the solution.
before i get put on hold for hours, i was seeing if anyone else had this problem.
I have removed all itunes software from my control panel already and the only thing left are my music files. When I click the download off of the website, everything goes fine until it asks me to find another location for the update, which won't work.

Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say can't be found? (Several different ones can be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

Hi. I iMac, Mac OS X 10.6.8 Lately it does not update the program. Writes the following: "Unable to install the update iTunes. An unexpected error occurred." What you need to do that right, that programs can be updated again?

Unable to install iTunes 11.1.4.62 on Windows 8. I get Service "Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficent privileges to start system services. I am trying to install this on my desktop not a mobile device.

Unable to install iTunes 11.1.4.62 on windows 8. I get
Service "Apple mobile Device) failed to start.
Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I am trying to install it on my desktop. I am also in Administrator mode. My iTunes stopped working when I was notified that there was a new version of iTunes and would I like to download it. I said yes as always and it was unable to finish the update because of a
runtime Error!
Program: C:\program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contace the application's suport team for more information.
My iTunes stopped working at this time. I thought I could delete iTunes and start over. This tactic did not work.
Can anyone make sense of what I am saying and help me to get my iTunes back again?

Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Unable to install iTunes after converting from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Am told installation was successful, then "iTunes was not installed correctly", followed by "Error 7 (Windows error 193). I have my iPod plugged into my computer via USB port. What am I doing wrong?

i have the only account on my laptop so have checked and am the account administrator
i run windows 7 home premium
I have the same problem and
have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
then restarted as per instructions,
went to Apple to download itunes,
hit download now,
Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
did not get a save instead of run prompt
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
sick of doing this
at least 7 or 8 times i have re installed itunes to no avail
troubleshooting no better

it was working fine until 2 days ago when i opened itunes it offered to update to 12.1

I recently installed itunes update and can no longer connect to network nor internet

I recently (sept 2013) installed itunes update and can no longer connect to a network nor internet wired /wireless. I know it is not the gateway as other devices work. Please help. I am not very knowledgable so exact instructions will be most helpful.

Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
Good luck!

Unable to install Itunes 10.1 or 10.1.1 -Apple Mobile Device USB Driver

Unable to install Itunes 10.1 or 10.1.1 and have it sucesfully install the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. It keeps coming up with an error that the driver is unsigned or disappears completely from device manager.
I have tried full uninstall including cleaning registry keys and file system. If I uninstall and re-install 9.2.1 usb driver works perfectly and I have no issues synching with phone or seeing the phone in Itunes.
I have tried repair installs, updating the drivers by pointing to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
I have tried removing all USB devices and having them reinstall from Windows after a reboot. Nothing seems to work.
I just got a new IPAD and cannot use it because I cannot install 10.1 at least to have it connect. It came with IOS 4.2.1 on it.

I also encountered the same problem.
and yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10.1.1 bla bla blahhh....
Same issue!!! itunes cannot open cuz the mobile device support not started etc..
but when reinstalled prior itunes version 9.2 its gone
and issue fixed.
i can sync my 3G.
but not my 4G. it says you need to upgrade to 10.1 or above
spending the whole night to fix the problem which never occured b4
i finally find out one thing.
pl keep in mind im not a computer exprt
i tried this and it worked, i don know what fixed it, bt it works
try this at your own risk. some comp genius will tell us weather this way is right or not.
ok. lets start...
in your desktop make a new folder. name it Kmh_\CoreFP
try uninstalling the newer version 10.1
only the itunes not other mobile div suprt, application suprt etc.
dont mind the following order:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
and reinstall itunes 9.2
go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
you wil find a folder named "CoreFP"
copy it and paste to Kmh_\CoreFP
uninstall itunes 9.2
and reinstall itunes 10.1 again
go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
you wil find folder named "CoreFP"
find the difference in properties comparing the one u stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
ok delete it and replace it with the one we stored stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
restart the computer and start itunes now
what happens?
best of luck.
-Kmhm63
reinstall the newer version 10.1
I would suggest that you revert back to prior working version until Apple comes out with an update that fixes what 10.1.1 broke.

There is a problem with the Window installer package. A program required for this intall to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package venfor.
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

Unable to install iTunes 8

I am also unable to install iTunes 8. I am not getting the same error messages as others however - just a msg telling me that there were problems installing iTunes 8 & if they persist I should try clicking - TOOLS - DOWNLOAD ONLY.
I have done this I ended up with an open folder on my desktop containing several files Including bonjour which I had deselected.
I now have several questions
a)what do I now do with these files ?
b) where do I find them again - they were in a folder called apple update but having closed the folder I am now unable to find it anywhere
c) having read through the forums & seen all the problems other users are having with this software do I really even want to update. What do I need iTunes 8 for - & what happens if I don't install it ??
Obviously I am not the most tech savvy of posters here & I would really appreciate some feedback
Thanks - Gillian

This is the error I get when I instll.
