Unsuccessful iTunes updates

I cannot seem to get the latest iTunes update to download. I have tried several times and each time the download seems to almost finished and then I get an error message.
I thougth maybe I had previously downloaded a corrupted file, so I did a disk utility permission verification and then a repair. I also decided perhaps a disk check was in order, so I tried disk Warrior to see if there is a disk problem. My hard disk is in need of some cleaning, but was not unusually out of order. I did find that I need to order a Disk Warrior update(I was using3.0).
The last successful update was 9/15/2007 the Quicktime 7.1.0. I have now been able to download an update since.
What's next?

Here it is:
"The iTunes update can't be installed. A networking error has occurred: timed out(-1001). Make sure you can connect ot the internet, then try again."
Funny thing is I am connected to the internet when this happens.
I did a file permissions repair and also a command line check of the hardrive and files were fine. Should I update my Disk Warrior and try to see if there are corrupted files that I need to repair?
I wouldn't be so concerned except that we have 4 MACS in our house and we all seem to be having this problem. When my daughter took her laptop to school she was able to successfully download the updates. Now I am beginnng to suspect my home network. We seem to be able to connect and function on the net and even download PDF files. My only glitch seems to be with larger files(like updates).
Feedback?

    Hey colorado65,
    Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    All the best,

  • The itunes update server could not be contacted. Ran diagnostic and followed many support reccomendations with on success.

    For at least the last 36 hours I have been unable to download updates from the itunes server for either itunes itself, or for iOS for my iphone (I need this since I am locked out of my phone). I was able to get around the problem of not being able to update itunes from the itunes server by downloading 11.0.4.4 from apple.com instead, but I don't believe I can do this for the latest iOS.
    I have tried troublshooting from the support instructions for hours with no luck. Itunes is the only program that is having internet connectivity issues. I have tried disabling windows firewall, completely uninstalling my antivirus, and logging in/running itunes as an administrator. I have purged my hosts file and made sure that LAN settings are set to auto-detect. I have rebooted my router. There are no third party programs running that filter internet connections.
    What else can I try?

    "The itunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later."

    I have completed the Advanced iTunes Store Troublshooting workthrough and my problem persists.
    For reference I will detail the steps I have followed from the Advanced Support link iOS *08* provided above.
    Isolate the issue:
    1) the problem is with iTunes (I can connect to other secure websites, including the apple webpage + login).
    2) verified the problem is not with the network (other devices on my network can connect and download iTunes updates).
    3) I cannot resolve the problem by connecting to another network.
    4) I have created inbound and outbound rules to allow all traffic to/from ports 80, 443, 3689, 5297,  5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999. I have allowed these ports full access to all network types and all programs. I have also made sure that all apple products, especially itunes, are allowed in the list of windows firewall exceptions.
    5) My date, time, and timezone are correct.
    6) I am using iTunes as an administrator. I have posted the results of the diagnostic network tests above in my Original Post.
    Blocked by software Firewall:
    I have allowed an exception in the firewall for itunes and bonjour.
    It seems to be the case that:
    "If there's no firewall preventing access, but the iTunes Store still does not work while other Internet services (websites) work, the iTunes Store may be blocked by your configuration."
    Blocked By Configuration:
    I have run iTunes Diagnostics (results above) and the "Secure link to iTunes Store" section did not pass
    I opened IE, made sure I am "Never dialing a connection"
    My LAN settings are set to "Automatically detect settings"
    I do not have any proxy settings
    I have unchecked "Check for server cerificate revocation*" under Advanced IE properties
    I have enabled "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0"
    I saved and restarted. Still no joy.
    Rebuild Network Information
    I flushed the DNS Resolver Cache
    As mentioned above I reset the host file to default, and also tried to alternate method outlined in the support document involving creatings a "Copy of hosts" file and moving, editing, and returning the file to drivers/etc.
    I then restarted.
    Please Help! This is getting rediculous!

  • Why Macbook won't start after unsuccessful software update (BSoD) ?

    My Macbook is not starting after an unsuccessful attempt to do a software update.
    There were 5 updates available but none would work, so I downloaded a couple of updates individually from Apple's website.
    But these individual updates did not work as well and an error message said that the digital certificate may have been tampered with.
    After retrying an iTunes update, the message that I needed to restart my computer appeared.
    Since then on every start up attempt, I get the Apple icon and then the same message to restart my computer appears.
    I know what the system looks like with a HDD failure and this is not it.
    Clearly a software issue has caused a hardware failure somehow.
    I am wanting to know if anyone else has experienced this or if there is a recent bug or glitch within the software update process that is causing the problem.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    After obtaining and installing another HD (250 GB), it appears that something is quickly returning me to the same place.
    The time lost within installing the HD and reinstalling the various software programs is becoming a little too high for me.
    I bought and installed Leopard to avoid going through anything Tiger may have had that brought my Macbook to its knees.
    But now here I am again less than 1 month after installing the new HD and installing Leopard with a Macbook that simply will not work.
    To top it all off, I bought an external HD to use Time Machine today and never have had the opportunity to backup everything.
    Any ideas are definitely appreciated in advance.
    My biggest concern right now is that it appears that the Random Shutdown Syndrome (RSS) either has returned or something is allowing the temperature to escalate and overheating a board or something internally.

  • Ipod nano 7th g is not rcognised by computer after itunes update

    My ipod nano 7th generation is no longer recognised by my computer after the latest itunes update. Newest software is on my windows 8 computer... Any ideas?

    Hello, Arndt262. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods.  Diagnostics says no ipod connected.  However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

    After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync.  When I run diagnostics it says no device connected.  My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected.  I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work.  I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.  The older version would not reconize my music libray.  Any thouhts?

    I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • With Windows Vista, the most recent Itunes update 1/30/2014 has caused Itunes not to work, with a Mscvr80.dll not found error. Uninstalled all Apple programs, and installed fresh Itunes. Same problem. Tried to reinstall using an older install exe nogo

    Recent ITunes update has caused ITunes not to work. Tried uninstalling all Apple products and reinstalling fresh. Still doesn't work. Tried reinstalling from an old install.exe. Install went nicely but program won't start as it says it can't open the library file.

    Now that I have no way of accessing any of the products I have purchased from ITunes, I will most certainly never use ITunes again for any reason. Why throw good money after bad?  I will use another MP3 player that is not as cumbersome or proprietary.
    Lesson learned.

  • Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. This is an APPLE Itunes issue. Help!. HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, windows 7

    Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. After doing some data mining, found out from community this is an long standing APPLE problem- which doesn't get much tech support in terms of fixes. I have an HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, Windows 7 OS . After reading an earlier complaint from 2009 in the support community,  I ran diagnostics from ITunes which gave the following result. Can someone please help? (I'm not enough of a techie to know what I'm doing or how to locate /reinstall CD drivers. I am searching for driver disc but cannot locate.)

  • Receipt in recent iTunes update

    My work recently issued me an iPod touch (the only reason I have an Apple product) and I purchased an app for work. I need a receipt to be reimbursed. I made the purchase over 72 hours ago and have not recited an email, and yes, I checked my junk mail. The instructions in the Support Community require iTunes (why I need another program to manage my purchases I don't get) but the instructions don't apply to the recent iTunes update. Does anyone know how to get a receipt with the new iTunes update? Please help.
    Posted with my Windows Phone

    You should have an emailed receipt to the primary email address that is on the iTunes account. If that is the email account that you are checking and the email isn't there then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will send a copy (which is probably unlikely) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    Or would a screenshot of your purchase history be sufficient ? If it is then you can see the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com, or there is a better version of your purchase history viewable via a computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.

  • Computer slow and not responding since installation of new iTunes update

    Good Morning,
    I downloaded the new iTunes update two days ago.  As soon as I did it my computer was freezing up and none of my programs would respond.  I uninstalled it as my computer was working fine.  I did the update again and the same thing happened.  So this time I uninstalled iTunes only, not Quick Time and my computer is fine.  Is there anyway I can get a link to download the previous version?  I can not do a system restore because my compute does not have one for some reason.  I have tried that.
    Also my computer's CPU usage runs normally at anywhere from 4% to 12%, both times after I did the update, it was running at 100% all the time.  I could not shut it off or close any programs.
    Does anybody have any ideas?
    Thank you for your time.

    Many thanks Matt - when I spoke to my son last night he did say the anti-virus programme might be the cause, so he told me how to re-install the old Thunderbird version which worked, and to tick the option which says 'allow me to choose whether to install new versions'. So far so good! Very grateful for your help - thanks.

  • My Home Sharing does not work any more after latest iTunes update

    After iTunes update to 11.1.3 my Home Sharing does not work any more!
    It worked just fine for several years...
    I tryed to do everything I could find on Apple support... NOTHING works.
    Most of Apple so called updates turn out real crap...

  • 13.3 Macbook Pro Retina Keeps rebooting after recent iTune updates

    This morning after I installed the new iTune updates (11.2.?), the macbook pro just flashed with some color stripes and then screen went black. I need to long hold reboot key to turn it off and turn it back on.
    My iPhone was connecting with the Macbook during the update. I am not sure if this is connected to the issue. I unplugged iPhone and rebooted the Macbook. But right after I log in, the color stripe things came again and the macbook went dead. Now it is stuck in this status. I think I need to bring it to the apple store and have the "genius" guys fix it

  • ITunes Updates Keeps Modifying the Library

    The last two iTunes updates I have allowed to run (9.1x and today, version 10) have mangled my library. The 9.1x download wiped about 2 hours of user-input cover art. The Apple cover art function is awful, to be kind. When I spend hours updating the holes and mistakes it leaves behind, I don't appreciate the next version wiping it out during the update.
    I reluctant;y put in Version 10 today. Immediately afterward, I opened my library to find that not only did this version randomly delete my cover art AGAIN, it also randomly separated my albums into multiple entries. Now I get to spend 2 to 3 hours scouring my library for the missing and wrongly assigned cover art, I also have to knit entries back into single albums.
    Who does your software QA? If I put the cover art in manually, LEAVE IT. Don't rearrange my library entries. Don't break up albums into multiple new albums. Next time you feel the need to make an iTunes upgrade, think Hippocratic, and first do no harm. AND GIVE ME A BLOCK ALL UPGRADES OPTION. I really don't need your help any more.

    SAme problem here. Did you ge tany fixes, other than manual?
