Windows Update Complications with Itunes

A few weeks ago, my computer pushed an update to windows that I didn't have the option to delay any further. I believe it was in connection with the Windows 8 / 8.1 update. After the update was pushed, I also upgraded iTunes to the most recent version, 12.0.1.26.
After the updates, I was no longer able to play songs on iTunes. I was able to open the application and click on a song to play. The song shows at the top player bar, but remains at 0:00.
After searching the iTunes and Windows forums, I saw that many others were having these errors and there were several fixes. I started working through the fixes, one on the Windows forum, which suggested that the file QTmoviewin.dll file was the issue and needed to be deleted. Subsequently, I found several other fixes on this forum suggesting that it only needed to be copied and moved, but as I have been working on this issue over the past several weeks, once I went to restore the file I had deleted, it was no longer available in my recycle bin to restore.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes to get the file back, but it doesn't bring that specific file back. I have tried downloading the file from dll.com, but each time I get an error that the install cannot be completed.
I have reached my tech-saavy limits with this one and need help. How can I either restore the file I have deleted but is no longer in my recycle bin or get the file from a secure website that will allow complete installation?
Thanks!!!

The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing another CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes
With that one, I'd try the following document:

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

I tried my first Windows CD burn with iTunes; the burn fails at different points during the burn, with error codes 4450 or 4280.

I have the same problem, after years of everything working great. Last time this happened I tried using a different brand of CD and it worked, but I must warn you that now iTunes rejects all three brands I have been trying to use.

i cant sync my windows seven contacts with itune because of the "over the air option cant be changed" help me

This sounds like you configured the phone to sync contacts with iCloud or with an MS Exchange email account. If you want to sync directly with your computer you will need to disable the over the air sync settings on the iPhone.

Updating Issue with iTunes 7.0.1.8

A few weeks ago I made the jump to the newly released iTunes 7.0. I had a slew of issues with this update (which by the way Apple has still not provided a working solution for), which I addressed in detail in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3170496#3170496
Today I updated to the new iTunes 7.0.1.8. There were no issues during the installation itself, however afterwards is a completely different story. When I attempt to open iTunes, I receive the following error message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
My first thought was to see if Quicktime is working normally. It is. No problem there. I thought perhaps I should try repairing the installation. So I went to Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Software > iTunes. I attempted to use the 'repair' option. This did not work at all.
At this point I restarted my computer and uninstalled iTunes. I restarted once again and reinstalled. When the installation had finished I received the prompt, "would you like to run iTunes after the installation is completed?" I clicked 'yes.' iTunes opened, no problem.
I closed iTunes and attempted to reopen it normally. It would not open, instead giving me the same message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
I thought the previous issues with iTunes not recognizing my iPod were bad enough but now I can't even open iTunes at all. This is absolutely unacceptable on Apple's part. It was bad enough that they released 7.0 with all its bugs, but at this point they should have their act together. Instead the problems are getting worse.

Please let me know if I can get rid of this feature.
You sure can.
iTunes View menu > Hide MiniStore will do the trick.

On my Windows 7 machine with iTunes I get a message stating APSDaemon.exe can't start because msvcr80.dll is missing. What is the solution

I have iTunes installed on my Windows 7 machine. When waking up my Windows 7 machine I get a message that says that APSDaemon.exe can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing. I'm directed to reintall the applicaton. Is this iTunes related? If so, what do I need to do?

Can't update iPhone with iTunes

Hi everyone,
I've recently downloaded the most recent update for the iPhone 3GS and tried to install it today. Every time I try to update the phone, the message "The iPhone "Sian's iPhone" could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build" appears. (See below)
My iPhone isn't jailbroken, my iTunes software is up-to-date (10.2.2) and my laptop's software is up-to-date (Mac OS X 10.6.7).
I've never had this problem before... Sometimes when I plug my phone into the wall or in the laptop it says "Charging is not supported with this accessory" even though I'm using genuine Apple accessories, etc. I'm not sure if this helps you determine the issue.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me update my iPhone!

Here's what is mentioned for your error in the updated version (June 22nd) of iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
Don't forget to update iTunes, the newest version is 10.3.1 Maybe a different USB cable is also worth a try.
This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an error 3194. If you receive this error, update to the latest version of iTunes. If you do have the latest version of iTunes, this can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new IPSW. 3rd party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue, to resolve please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod; follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store.

IPod shuffle= no pref. to stop auto update/sync with itunes 7

If you have an ipod shuffle and you plug it in to your laptop, with your itunes library located on an external drive, itunes 7 will automatically sync the shuffle with itunes 7 and if the ext. drive is disconnected, subsequently erase all songs on the ipod, because it cannot find the itunes library.
this stinks.
I see no solution, until apple changes or adds a preference like "manually manage music" which seems to be available for other ipods, but not the shuffle:(
even enable disk use doesn't help:

hmm - curiouser and curiouser
I've now managed to get it to manually update (after iTunes took 100% of system resources and I had to force quit it...) but that still doesn't really help me with the auto-sync feature which still won't work
aaaaaaggggggghhhhh

Vista SP1 update problems with itunes after

Hello,
After installing the SP1 Vista update, i cant play music anymore with itunes.
the play button doesnt work anymore. After installing (repairing) itunes again? it still doesnt work.

Well, a little update. I plugged my phone back into my laptop, went into iTunes again though the computer, and let it sync again. Unplugged it, and the same thing happened again. I shut the phone off, then turned it on again, recharged the battery on the wall charger and it seems to be working OK now.
Every now and then my App Store will not open, and certian apps will crash, but a little better than before.
I'll tell you what, Apple really dropped the ball with the 4.0 update for us 3G users it looks like

2008 r2 Windows update Failed with 8000FFFF

HI
One of our clients has not run windows update in sometime. It was setup for automatic updates so they had never checked their server manually for updates.
We have tried to reset the components using several methods from a whole day of gooling this fix. During the night last night we run scandisk with repair which was mentioned on several other threads.
after resetting the windows update components
When we click install now. it immediately fails with error 8000FFFF
I then opened event viewer to find the log. It lead me to a local file which reads:

I then googled 174EAAC7-5A3D-448F-BE6F-D6FE450E1DCF and found an article advising me to try and install system update readiness tool which too failed with the 8000FFFF
I have checked for viruses/malware and that seems ok. MS Security essentials is able to download and install updates just fine.
The machine is running IE9. I tried downloading both IE10 & IE11 which say components are required before installing the selected IE and takes me to a web page.
I downloaded all the x64 updates, when i execute they all fail with the 8000FFFF error.
we also tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058/en-us which did not help it failed at the end with:
Can anyone suggest anything that we could do to try and fix this error?

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. According to the log, you get
0x80190194
0x80190194 -2145844844 BG_E_HTTP_ERROR_404
The requested URL does not exist on the server.
Is there any problem with the other computers in the same network? If so, I guess there could be some problem with your network. Confirm this with your proxy server or ISP.
If not please reset windows update component and try again.
How do I reset Windows Update components?

Hope this helps.
