Upgrading to iTunes9 on Windows Vista won't install

It says we do not have permissions. We uninstalled and tried to reinstall, and keep getting errors that we don't have permissions for Quicktime folders. I tried to delete the Quicktime folder, but it says I don't have permissions for the folders, chiefly the Quicktime\QTSystems folder. I checked the permissions and it won't show or let me change owners. We're using the administrator account.

What's the precise text of the permissions message, Tara? (There's a few different ones I can think of, some of which tend to indicate a disk/file damage issue rather than a permissions problem.)

  • Windows Vista won't install

    Hey i just got a copy of windows vista but it won't install. i tried to install it using bootcamp but it asks me to start installing on a existing windows. i don't have any windows installed on my mac book. Do i have to install windows xp before installing windows vista?

    I'll start doing my homework.
    The obvious: Is vista proving stable on the Mac built in drive?
    While some might consider me "lucky," I don't believe i luck. I have had no problems with any of my three Macs which now all run Leopard. My two MBPs were updated, not even an archive and install and they both run fine, as does my old G5.
    I installed XP-Pro on my 32-bit MBP when I first got it using BootCamp1.0, beta.
    I installed Vista Ult 64-bit on his MBP also under a beta version of BC, 1.2, I believe.
    All the Leopards are up to date, as are my Winders OSs. I finished updating this MBP to SP1 this morning. I have never had any problem, issue or anything I would consider serious. I did have the problem some have noted with Leopard, that the WiFI modem would turn off when not used, but that was not a Leopard issue, it was a firmware issue with my Westell modem, which works fine now that I upgraded its firmware.
    As of now, I have nothing but praise for both Apple and, yes, Microsoft.
    I learned long ago, that when you get down the the processor, it's all the same 1's and 0's
    I do research things quite well before actually committing myself, but that should be normal for everyone. Even a daredevil driver or stuntman carefully plans what he does, although it looks as if it's spontaneous.
    I use computers for business and pleasure and I need them as tools. I do not fool around with strange software or unplanned updates. So far, that has paid off.

  • Windows Vista won't install Ipod

    Latest version of Itunes 7.4.2 has been installed, unfortunately Windows Vista has located Ipod mini in "other devices" in "Device Manager", but it won't install the Ipod. I've reinstalled Iteune three times and searched the Windows Vista disk, but with no luck.
    I'm on the verge of selling the ipod - any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks

    I suggest either getting a Mac or going back to Windows XP because Vista is known to have these problems.

  • Windows Vista won't support my M

    Sorry - me again. I have a Creative Zen 20mg and Windows Vista won't load the CD. I then looked for various download options online and have been told that they won't work with Vista and Creative have no plans to change this. I need to upload my music to the PC! Is there any way that I can sort this some other way? I've seen from the other threads that there aren't drivers available. ?Many thanks.Message Edited by Ellymoo on 03-02-20080:57 AM

    There are several components you would need to install for access to the player. ALL must be installed in Compatabilty mode for XP. In addition to the one you listed The Creative Nomad Jukebox plug-in is one of the components that needs to be installed if you have not. The version number is 2.00.20. http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=9320 The other component after that one is the Creative Nomad Explorer version 3.0.0http://support.creative.com/download...ownloadId=8069

  • Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

    My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC  with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

    If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
    Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

  • Windows updates won't install

    Hello,
    I have a remote user whose Windows updates won't install. He has a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. You can bring up the update windows and start the install but, at exactly 10 seconds, it just says "Updates failed" and doesn't really give
    any more information.
    I saw the Windows update service was stopped, I started it and that didn't seem to help. I also tried the update troubleshooter and that didn't do anything. I checked for malware and didn't find any, and he has plenty of disk space. I didn't see
    anything in Even Viewer or Reliability Monitor either.
    What could it be?
    Thanks. 
    Chris Hansen

    Hi Chris,
    Firstly, please check if those Windows Update have already installed:
    1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type
    Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2.In the left pane, click View update history.
    3. Click Installed Updates at the top of the page, there check if any Windows Update installed recently.
    If there is no any Windows Update installed, try to
    reset the Windows Update component to check if it could resolve the issue.

  • Windows Updates won't install - Error 0x80072EFD

    Question 
    Windows Updates won’t install.  I’m receiving Error 0x80072EFD.  What can I do to solve this?
    Answer 
    This particular error means that your computer was not able to connect to the Internet when it tried to install updates.  First, check your Internet connection and then try again. If that doesn’t work, try the methods below.
    Method A: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on, and temporarily disable third-party firewalls
    Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
    To complete this method, follow these steps.
    Step 1: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on
    To open Windows Firewall, click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
    Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Click On (recommended), and then click OK.
    Step 2: Temporarily disable third-party firewalls
    Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
    Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
    Under Firewall, read the firewall status note. This information will indicate which, if any, firewall is installed and whether the firewall is turned on. For example, for ZoneAlarm, the notice will say ZoneAlarm Firewall is currently ON.
    Open the third-party firewall application that is listed in the firewall status note, and temporarily disable the firewall. If necessary, refer to the firewall application documentation, or contact the application vendor for more information about how to temporarily disable the application.
    Step 3: Try to install the updates again
    If this method resolved your issue, follow the steps in Method B, step 2 to re-enable your third-party firewall. You might want to also check for and install any necessary updates to your third-party firewall.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method B.
    Method B: Temporarily disable third-party antivirus software
    Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    Step 1: Locate and temporarily disable your third-party antivirus software
    Note Windows does not detect all antivirus software, and some antivirus software doesn't report its status to Windows. If your antivirus software is not displayed in Windows Security Center, and you're not sure how to find it, try any of the following:
    Look for the antivirus software in the list of programs on the Start menu.
    Type the name of the software or the publisher in the Search box on the Start menu.
    Look for the software in Action Center:
    Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
    Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
    If Windows can detect your antivirus software, it will be listed under Virus protection.
    If the software is turned on, check the Help documentation that was included with the software for information about how to disable it.
    Note You may have to look in the application documentation to determine how to do this.
    Step 2: Check for Windows Updates
    As soon as the antivirus software is temporarily disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
    If this method resolved your issue, and you were able to install the updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party antivirus software.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method C.
    Method C: Disable software accelerator programs
    Disable any software accelerator programs that may be running. Some examples of these programs are file download accelerators and Internet speed accelerators.
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method B, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    Step 1: Disable software accelerator programs
    To do this, select from the following options:
    See the documentation that was included with the program.
    View the Help files for your program.
    Contact the program vendor. For information about how to contact the program vendor, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
    http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors
    Step 2: Install Updates
    As soon as the software accelerator program is disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
    If this method resolved your issue, you should enable the software accelerator programs that you disabled in Step 1.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method E.
    Method D: Add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    To add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list, follow these steps:
    Start Windows Internet Explorer.
    On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    Note If you are using Internet Explorer 7, and the menu is not available, press the ALT key on your keyboard to access the Internet Explorer Menu.
    Click the Security tab, and then click Trusted Sites.
    Click Sites, and then click to clear the Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone check box.
    In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the following addresses, and then click Add after you type each address:
    http://update.microsoft.com
    http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
    Click OK two times.
    Try to install the updates again.
    If this method resolved your issue and you were able to install updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party firewall if it is still disabled. To do this, see step 2 in Method A.
    For more methods and advanced troubleshooting techniques, see You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates.

    Mark, I've just been through this update issue with two installations.  In my case, it seemed intertwined with authentification and indexing not working, either.    Upon a transfer of my system disk to new hardware I got hit with the issue and couldn't fix it.  Which is why I did a clean install of Win7 ultimate 64bit on my T61p.  The install (including update) worked great until I ran the intel matrix storage manager update.  This broke windows update.  If you surf the web, and include "intel rapid storage manager" or "intel matrix storage manager" and "Windows update fails", you'll see that a lot of folks feel that the intel driver (or how windows handles it) is what breaks update.  I tracked this down to a driver, iastor.sys, in windows\system32\drivers.    I was able to fix my Window Update by copying an iastor.sys from another recently built machine (should be exactly the same, but this was my wife's T510, but still Win 7 Pro 64) to overwrite the iastor.sys that the intel update changed.  To be clear: I couldn't get windows update or indexing to work.  I overwrote* the "bad" iastor.sys with one that worked on another computer.  Rebooted.  Update worked. I just wanted to point out that instead of blindly installing updates to fix problems, folks should be aware that sometimes the update is the problem. Especially as these systems are off warranty and the drivers are not being updated.  I've asked elsewhere, so let me ask here: Where is the System Interface Driver for t61p?  Not listed anywhere on site, links on the web referring to it are all broken.  Is the System Interface Driver now part of another driver program?  Thanks! Jim T61p, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, and T510, Win 7 Pro 64bit

    Apple sent me a disc for Snow Leapord so I could upgrade to Lion, but the disc won't install.  Anyone else have that problem?  How do i solve?  Can't move to I cloud until it is done.

    Hold c and reboot off the 10.6 disk, run the installer.
    If the machine your upgrading is the 2006, I'd highly advise you stay on 10.6.8
    It's a 5 year old machine, you're in the last life stages of that machine and 10.7 will push it right over the edge.
    10.6 is a GOOD upgrade for that machine, faster than 10.7 or 10.5.
    And 10.6 will run your 10.5 software, 10.7 will not.
    Get iCloud with a new 10.8 machine coming out after this summer, seriously.
    Your machine is too old to bother with Lion.
    Or else you can learn yourself and use this link to get back to Snow, good luck finding your 10.5 programs.

  • Windows Vista won't boot changing from IDE to AHCI in BIOS

    Hi, I've spent a lot of time looking up this problem online. I can find lots of google search results and they seem to say go into the REGEDIT and change the 'msahci' start setting to 0 and even the 'pciide', or 'iaStorV' start settings to 0. But that doesn't work for me. The Windows load screen with the green load bar just keeps going across and Windows never starts up. I have Windows Vista Home Basic.
    I saw someone in this forum with a similar problem but they upgraded to Win7 on a fresh install to fix the problem, they were switching from RAID to AHCI. I contacted Intel tech support and they said to try HP or the motherboard manufacturer. I contacted Intel because I installed an Intel 520 series Solid State Drive and wanted to know if they had a driver to get the benefit of AHCI rather than IDE. I know lots of people recommend a fresh install of Windows but I did not get a cd of Windows with this computer

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00835809&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en... )
    I tried installing this Microsoft fix too. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976
    I'm wondering if there is an AHCI driver I can install or anything I can do to get AHCI working?
    Thanks to anyone who can help!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    You're very welcome.
    I always leave the boot order BIOS setting to boot from the HDD first so as to shave off a few microseconds from the boot time. 
    When I need to boot from another device such as a DVD in your case, I turn on the PC, at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, I tap the F9 key to get the one-time boot menu.
    I select the DVD drive from the list. Then I hit the button on the drive to open the drive, pop the bootable DVD in, close the tray, wait a second or so and then hit the enter key.
    After I hit the enter key, watch the sreen for a message that states in substance...attempting to boot from DVD...press any key to boot from DVD...
    I press any key and the PC boots from the DVD and off I go...
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.
    Now remember...making that file is pretty easy, but only if you read both my notes and the guy that wrote the procedure's steps carefully.
    There have been a few forum members that I have had to coach during the process, because they were following that guy's every step to the letter, and as I pointed out, there is only one mistake on his first screen shot...but that one mistake is all it takes to stop you cold.
    Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
    The files were already extracted to that Vista folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
    You get past that, and you're home free.
    Good luck!

  • Thumbs Up To Upgrading To CS3 and Windows Vista

    Hi Folks,
    After several years of using Dreamweaver 8 on my antiquated,
    10-year old, 700MZ DELL (upgraded from Windows 98SE to Windows XP),
    I finally bought a new HP with Windows Vista. Then I upgraded from
    DW8 to CS3 ($199) and couldn't be happier. I used to have the old
    XP "login" issue (remembering the login) and was never able to
    resolve it, despite using the recommened fix I found here, so it
    was something I just lived with.
    But that's all behind me now. This new DW works great with
    Vista and so far, I have no issues whatsoever. Looking forward to
    learning more about CS3 and all it's features.
    I'm a total novice... (you can tell by viewing my website:
    LBIBeachRentals.com ... LOL), but if I can do it, anyone can. Many
    thanks again to everyone who has helped me in the past,
    particularly Peggy and Murray from OC.

    the old program being obsolete? I appreciate your answer!
    I did much the same recently - (upgrade) from MX to CS3. I
    was using a boxed set but all I needed were the qualifying serial
    numbers of two MX programs for an upgrade. The applications were
    self standing and I never had to install the old ones.
    I would suggest turning the Vista Aero interface off -
    particularly if you also have Fireworks - after that it is great.

  • Trouble installing iTunes9 on Windows Vista

  • Upgrading my T61 to Windows Vista Ultimate

    Hey all,
    I have a T61, [email protected], 3GB RAM, 120GB HD with Windows Vista Home Basic.
    I recently got a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate (from my University) and I was wondering if I could install it...
    Basically, I want to know that:
    1) If I install Windows Vista Ultimate off another DVD, will it wipe out my ThinkVantage integration? i.e. being able to use the ThinkVantage button during boot-up and so on.
    2) I know I can download the ThinkVantage Vista software again from the Lenovo website, but would I lose the ability to factory restore my HD from boot-up if I install Vista Ultimate from my new DVD?
    3) Is Vista Ultimate even worth spending the time and energy on for upgrading?
    Thanks!

    Mostly.  You can restore some of it by downloading ThinkVantage software and the appropriate device drivers etc from the Lenovo support web sit for your ThinkPad model.

    Yes, you will lose it.   There are ways around that, but they require some 3rd party software.
    You can always do a factory restore, if needed, from the DVD set you should have created on recieving a ThinkPad.
    wildrebel wrote:

    I have installed it on all my Vista capable ThinkPads, in x86 or x64 version depending on the ThinkPad platfrom capabilities, and find it well worthwhile.

  • ITunes upgrade Windows XP won't install - missing iTunes.msi during final remove of old version

    Upgrading to current version of iTunes on Windows XP Pro
    Install fails duringn final step which is uninstall of old version, can't find iTunes.msi
    There are several of these on my system, tried pointoing at each directory for different attempts.  All same result,
    says can't find it
    What can I do to get around this issue?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Windows Vista won't connect after security change

    I have an AirPort Extreme base station, to which we connect using an iMac, PowerBook G4 and a Windows Vista laptop. I used to have it set to WEP, but changed it to WPA for the increased security. After the change, my PowerBook and iMac are connecting just fine, but my wife's Vista machine has been nothing but headaches. It will sometimes connect, after a bit of fighting with it, but not reliably or quickly. At the moment, it says that it is connected with local and internet access, but I can't actually access anything on the internet, and diagnosing the problem in Vista reports that a wireless network cannot be found (despite the fact that it simultaneously reports that it is connected to one).
    I know squat about Windows -- I'm a Mac guy. Anybody know how to help me fix this?
    Thanks in advance!

    No answers, but the problem seems to have disappeared. Man, I'm starting to realize how fortunate I am to have been using Macs for the last 23 years. I think Vista is going to be a very good thing for Apple! There's nothing like actually using Vista to make one want to flee screaming and never look back...
