When I try to update iTunes 10.3, Insufficient Privileges error. C:\programData\{429CAD59-35B1-4DBC-BB6D-1DB24-6563521}\x86\DIFxAPI.dll

When I try to update iTunes 10.3, the installer finishes downloading but then this message appears "errors occured while installing updates. If the problem persist, select Tools, "just download" and instal them manually"
so I go and do that, select Tools and then just download. Then when it finishes loading it goes back to the Apple Software Updater and pups up another window at this location C:\Users\brandsmart\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update
there I find AppleApplicationSupport, AppleMobileDeviceSupport, Bonjour, iTunes, QuickTime and SetupAdmin. So when I select iTunes it starts downloading it again, but this time as if it was the first time (not an update)..
It takes me to "Welcome to the iTunes Installer" I click next, I accept the terms and conditions and click next, takes me to the "Installations Options" I check and click "Install" then click "accept" then "accept" again, so it starts to download but then when it finishes downloading this meassage appears "the installer has insuffisient privileges to modify this file: C:\ProgramData\{429CAD59=35B1-4DBC-BB6D-1DB24-6563521}\x86\DIFxAPI.dll.
and there are three options- "Abort, Retry and Ignore." If I "ignore", nothing happens, just closes and pups right back up. If I click "retry," just the same, closes and opens right back up with the same options. If I "abort" it asks me if I'm sure to cancel, so I click "yes" so it says "rolling back action." when it's done it just closes everything and if I try to update, it's the same story all over again.
If I go to the "Advanced Security Settings for iTunes" I can see my name and two more options, all of them say "allow and full control" so I'm guessing that's not the problem but I don't really know.
Please somebody help me!! I don't know what to do.

the installer has insuffisient privileges to modify this file: C:\ProgramData\{429CAD59=35B1-4DBC-BB6D-1DB24-6563521}\x86\DIFxAPI.dll.
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • When I try to update Safari through the AppStore, an error (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012)(-1012) pops up. What do I do?

    This is the first time that I've posted on the boards, so forgive me if I did not place this forum in the correct spot.
    I got this error this morning when trying to do some updates through the Appstore, namely Safari. I've tried looking on Google for the error code, but have found no answers.

  • When i try to update itunes and quicktime, it stops me and says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" please help.

    when i try to update itunes and quicktime, it stops me and says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" please help.

    Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
    After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

    Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
    If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
    A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

    The messages are saying you have a 2G iPOd.  Those canonly go to 4.2.1.  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPOd. A 32 can be either.  To further identify yours:

  • When I try to update itunes, it tells me that itunes can not find a pathway to my computer. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and how to resolve it?

    When i plug my iphone into my computer and try to sync it with my itues library, a message comes up saying I can't sync until i update itues.  When i try to update itunes, a message pops up that says itunes cannot find a pathway to my computer and it tells me to find a pathway.  I have no idea what this means and i have played around with it for weeks now.  Can anyone help me??

    The first message says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resorce that is unavaliable.  Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package."  Then when i click ok a message that pops up says "The path cannot be found.  Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package "iTunes64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product itunes."
    That's perfect, thank you.
    (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?

  • When I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later."

    I am trying to updated iTunes on my PC so I can sync my songs onto my iPhone 5, but when I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later." My internet connection is fine and I've tried mutiple times to update it.

    That one can sometimes be produced by LSP trouble:
    I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • When I try to install iTunes I receive the following error message: "Apple Application support not found".

    When I try to install iTunes I receive the following error message: "Apple Application Support was not found". 

    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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

    Hi texasslagle,
    It sounds like you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 7 PC, a frustrating situation I am sure.
    There is an article that you may want to use to try to complete your install here -
