  • Update iTunes 10 Windows problem and Solution

    I have a solution that worked for me, when Apple's CEO did not all trying to update iTunes 10 Windows.  I do not claim that their solution was bad, just that it has not resolved the problem for me, but lead me to the solution that did.

    The problem I had was that during the update, I would like to get the package of Windows error message that wouldn't let him proceed in process.  "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your supplier of staff or the package of support ".

    THE SOLUTION: click on the Windows icon and go to settings > system > applications and features.  Click on Apple software update > change > change > repair

    Once the repair has been completed, I was able to install iTunes without any problems.

    How I found this solution: I tried the recommendation to Apple for this message exact error uninstall and reinstall iTunes, who had the same error message.  The next step was to uninstall QuickTime and iTunes, then the Apple Software Update.  At this point, the Apple software update wouldn't uninstall and generated the same error of Windows package as described above.  I fixed Apple Software Update and rather than proceed with the rest of the facilities, I advanced and installed iTunes.  He worked like a champ and he saved me a bunch of times.

    Thanks Airshipguy. It really worked.

    I have not tried all the recommendations of Apple support, being out of pocket for the time and also the uncertainty of losing the settings. Before you read this post, I tried to repair only iTunes. After reading the post above, I fixed all facilities Apple in a sequence such that the last of them was that of "Apple Software Update". I made this sequence intuitively and have no scientific reason.

    For those who need to be more aware of 10 Windows, right click the windows button, select "Programs and features" and then search for Apple. As indicated in the post above, it's the "Apple Software Update" that did the trick.

    My response was to reassure people that it works. Often, a single post does not give that confidence to give it a go!

  • Connection to the server to update iTunes on Windows 7

    Hi all, grateful for the advice. I'm trying to sync my iPhone only 6 and iPod touch to my iTunes library on my Windows 7 PC. It's an older version (2012 - I can't see the exact version). The computer recognizes the devices when it is connected, but iTunes is not. Tips suggest that I should update my iTunes. However, this is where I struggle. I get the message that "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later "." This seems to be a common problem and I tried all the troubleshooting tips that I could find. I am connected to the Internet and can connect to the iTunes Store for connectivity is not the problem. I've disabled the security settings and edited my host settings too. Still no joy. Grateful for all of the other suggestions that I could try to fix this annoying problem please.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  • I can't update iTunes 10 Windows

    I had this problem before and a "repair" of the Apple applications from the Control Panel has fixed the problem.  This time, it does not.  I even restored my computer to a previous restore point where I knew that I had been able to update iTunes.  This no longer works.  I also tried all the suggestions of the communities without any resolution and Microsoft Support site.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you

  • buy the update or complete, if vista problems

    It's about whether I should buy windows 7 updated version or full.

    dv4-1275mx has had problems for many months now with slow speeds, freezes, crashes, locks etc..  (note I had to reinstall the computer to its factory State a couple of times, and the problem persists so im sure its not virus) initially, I thought it was causing Media Center all the problems that I always get an error "media smart tv TSR has stopped working" and always seemed to be something running one the down payment (with the busy light flashes like crazy) the computer running slowly.  After that all these months I just found it's the registry causing most because it works fine now (after the execution of the tool pc registry mechanic) but still with media center and occasional freezes with windows Explorer errors.

    If I use windows 7 upgrade, if it "recycle" files of vista (which might be corrupt) continues to give me the same problems in windows 7.  If this is the case, will install the full version of windows 7 get rid of my vista problems (I guess they are problems and not hp vista).

    I see that nobody has answered your original question - what version should you buy?

    The decision you need to make has been described by one of the others - do an 'upgrade' or a 'clean install '?  You will have both of these options if you purchase the upgrade version.  You will get no benefit at all to purchase the full version.

    It is always better to do an install clean (which erases everything on the machine), especially if you are having problems with the system.  Yet once again, this can be done with the upgrade package.
