Unable to upgrade to latest itunes (10.1.1)

hello..
i am having a bit of trouble updating my iphone to the latest verson (4.2)
when i click on update on the iphone summary page, it tells me
'a new iphone software version (4.2) is available, but requires itunes 10.1.1. would you like to download itunes 10.1.1 now?'
i go to click on download itunes, but itunes just freezes for a bit and then goes back to normal, without anything actually happening.
when i go to help > check for updates, again it tells me there is a new version, but nothing happens when i say i want to download it.
when i go to my computer > program files > apple software update and check for new software, it tells me that my software is up to date.
i don't know what i can do to actually be able to get the latest version for itunes! i would really like to update my iphone. any help would be great!

Try downloading an installer from the Apple website, elle:

Just upgraded to latest iTunes for Windows. Rebooted the PC as required. When I bring up iTunes I get a pop message saying "An unknown error occured (-42110)". What does that mean?

Just upgraded to latest iTunes for Windows. Rebooted the PC as required after the update. When I start iTunes I get a popup message saying "An unknown error occured (-42110)."
What does it mean?
How do I fix it?
Thanks!

Removing the SC Info folder as per the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document seems to help most folks reporting the iTunes launch 42110s:

Upgrade to latest Itunes created havoc with my library!

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I upgraded to latest Itunes and about 800 of my songs lost their association from the computer to the library and the songs wouldn't play. With more investigation, many are purchases saved on the cloud or CDs I imported but they must be stored on the cloud because there are no files on my computer so I had to reload a ton of music. Also had to delete purchased songs from my library to allow me to re-download them, another time consuming activity that I didn't plan to spend my time on today. Wondering if others are also having this problem and how to communicate it to Apple so they are aware? Happy holidays.

Not quite surewhat your asking exactly. You look here for different ways on importing media from nano to your computer! https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2417169?start=0&tstart=0

Upgraded to latest iTunes & lost my library

Since upgrading to the latest iTunes, it has lost all my library settings.
All songs are still on disk, and other users on the same XP SP3 machine have not experienced this problem.
- When I log into XP as my user, then bring up iTunes, the entire music and apps list is now blank. The music lists are still there however (but also blank).
- When my kids log into the same XP as their user, their iTunes are up to date
I need all my ratings and play counts back (years worth of work). Getting the songs in is easy and not the problem.
What's the fix?

I had not, but thank you very much, that worked (yes, it took me this long to get to it, )
I never would have thought to google for the terms in the link you provided and my searches were not bearing fruit. Since it had been a while, I had to google for it again to find this thread, and only got here when I added my username and the site.
I upgraded to version 10, the latest, per instructions, and it seems happy.
Looks like a reasonably common issue as I've pointed several coworkers at this thread.
Thanks again!

Upgraded to latest Itunes - won't recognize songs in my external drive?

I recently upgraded to the latest Itunes. I store all my music on an external hard drive. Now I can't seem to get the Itunes library to pull songs from the hard drive - getting the message "The song __ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I didn't have this problem before. I tried importing the songs from the hard drive but now my library has doubled and I'm still having problems launching music. Anyone have any input? Thanks in advance.

No, my problem is when I open iTunes, none of my tunes are there because the new iTunes 8.1 looks into my hard drive iTunes for the library and it's blank. when I use preferences/advanced and choose "change" and attempt to select the library from my external drive, it's greyed out . . . not accessible.

I need to remove ALL trace of iPod & iTunes to upgrade to latest iTunes?

Attempting to upgrade to the latest iTunes, from the one I've been running that I hadn't upgraded for some years.
The message comes back that an auto update isn't possible and that I must remove the old version in it's entirety prior to trying again.
So I followed the instructions on the website here and have removed everything from my c/programs directory.
However there is still an iPod for Windows 2005, an iPod software updater and iTunes itself showing in the Add/Remove programs area of the Control Panel, and when I try to remove these nothing happens. These entries don't even have any info associated with them in terms of file size, but I can't get rid of them.
I have also removed Quicktime.
At my wits end, it seems this stuff is embedded in my PC somewhere and now I have no iTunes and can't download the latest version.
Please help if you have any input, it would really be appreciated.
Thanks, DJ.

This depends on how you have the ipod set to update. You can change the way it updates by going to edit>preferences>iPOd tab
By default the ipod is set to "Auto update ALL". If you goto the ipod tab and check "Only update checked songs" Only songs with a check mark beside them will be updated to the iPod. If you uncheck a song, the next time you update the ipod the song is removed.
You can also goto the iPod tab and set it to "AUto update SELECT" with this option only songs in the playlist you pick are updated. this is very helpful for people with a nano or a library thats larger than there ipod can hold.
"Manual update" is where you manually add songs and delete them off the ipod. This option is usually helpful to people who want to control everything on there ipod or frequently connect there ipod to more than one PC.
You can also go there the sub tabs on the iPod tab and set each to different things, Like leave the ipod to "Auto update ALL" but goto the podcast tab and set it to manual update or the video tab...just whatever you want or need to do

Upgraded to latest iTunes & now cant buy albums!

I can purchase single tracks but cant buy albums. I forces me to billing info saying 'account has changed' go in there, update switch card with CCV numbers click OK but no download starts. So select buy again and the billing screen comes up again.
Annoying or what, cash ready, 2 albums to buy, DOESN'T WORK.

This ties into another post about the 'authorisation loop' looks like MANY people are getting this after update to latest Itunes.
I guess Apple will loose sales, as people get fed up with the constant loop and will give up....like me.

Upgrading to latest itunes and ipod software kills ipod

Today my son has upgraded his itunes (on XP laptop) and ipod software to the latest versions. He has a 120 GB iPod classic and we've all been using ipods/itunes for many years. Since installing the updates he has been unable to synch his ipod. When we plug the ipod into the laptop it comes back with the error message "The ipod 'name' cannot be synched. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". I have then tried to follow all of the trouble-shooting advice on the Apple website including the 5 Rs. The first 4 didn't fix the problem and when I got to no 5 (RESTORE) this wouldn't work either. The restore software downloaded from the site but after looking like it was going to proceed, iTunes returned another error message "<sons name> iPod cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application". I checked that it wasn't trying to synch at the same time as restoring and could see no obvious reason why the restore wouldn't work. I am now at a complete loss as to what to do next. Can anyone help? I am surprised that there is nowhere on the Apple support site where you can find a list of all error messages and what you should do in response. Well not one that I could find anyway! Hope someone out there can shed some light.

Try putting the iPod in disk mode before connecting it.
1. Reset the iPod by pressing and holding the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously until it reboots.
2. Press and hold the Select and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously for several seconds until the display changes. I believe it will say something like "Okay to disconnect." Then connect the iPod to your computer.

Unable to Upgrade to new itunes-can't update music on ipods

When I try to upgrade my windows32 to the new 10.6 itunes after it runs through the calculations I receive the following message:
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.
I have defragged and checked/repaired errors and tried again with the same result.
I am unable to make changes to ipods because it states it needs the upgraded itunes.
Thank you.

I suspect you missed out a step in the transfer process somewhere that was designed to avoid this situation...
The exclamation mark shows if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
Ctrl-click on an empty check box will check them all...

HELP! Just upgraded to latest iTunes and some Preferences are missing???

Hi folks. First post here.
I have a Dell Desktop that's provided by my company as my own office computer.
I don;t have access to updating or downloading programs, as all of that is handled by the corporation from a remote loctaion.
The other day I requested they upgrade me to the latest version of iTunes, as mine was a couple of years old.
They did so, and I am now getting used to the new version.
Here's my problem: some of the functions I had grown acustomed to seem to be missing. If they are included in my version, I sure can't find them nor can figure out where they're hiding!
Specifically, I cannot find anyway to manually select what format I'd like to import music files into, nor can I choose the parameters on how I'd liek to convert existingt files.
For instance, I have some large MP3 files (192 KPS), that I need to convert to 128 KPS versions for the purpose of e-mailing them at a smaller size. I cannot change the parameters on this.
If I hit "Convert to MP3" while on a selected file, it automatically does it at 160 KPS, which I assume is the default.
In the older version of iTunes, I'd just go to Preferences, tab down to Advanced, and there I'd be offered a chance to select all sorts of options (WAV, AIFF, various compression rates of MP3, etc...).
Now, although iTunes Help tells me that's still where I'd find those controls, when I go to Preferences and select "Advanced", I get only the most basic functions, none opf which mention Importing or Converting whatsoever.
They're not visible, but grayed out - they're not even there!
What am I missing?
How can I locat these controls?
I need to have the option of changing the manner in which I import or convert files regularly to fit different needs, and I can't fathom that I'd be able to get much use out of iTunes without that ability.
If ANYONE out there can help me with this, or has experienced a similar problem, please let me knwo. This is driving me crazy...
Best,
Peter

*I cannot find anyway to manually select what format I'd like to import music files into, nor can I choose the parameters on how I'd liek to convert existingt files.*
Edit>Preferences>General, click the "Import Settings" button.

Unable to upgrade or uninstall iTunes

It says "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 "i Tunes.msi" in the box below."
I've searched my computer a million times, I can't find this folder...I don't think it exists. I really want to get this problem resolved because I miss being able to use my iTunes!!! Please help!!!!!
