FINALLY Got The New iTunes/QuickTime Installed

[Caley Tibbittz]

I've been trying to update for months, but every time I did, I'd get an error message saying that the installer couldn't find the QuickTime.msi file, or that it was in the wrong place. I tried to remove QuickTime so I could reinstall it with iTunes, but I add/remove wouldn't take it out.

I finally had to spend a bit of time Googling a solution, and I found a utility on Microsoft's support site that helped me get rid of at least PART of QuickTime -- enough to get a succesful install going.

I only had one glitch, saying there was a file that the install wizard couldn't overwrite -- so I located it in the QuickTime program folder and deleted it. Hit "retry", and it went smoothly from there.

Holy Jesus Christ on a stick, that was way too hard.

All I know is that for some reason iTunes says that my iPod software is out of date and some thing may not have been copied, which is weird because if I try to update it it says it's up-to-date.

mine was doing that last night, even though everything worked fine before that. the apple boards say it has something to do with the power level of the usb ports. if you're using one of your front usb ports, try using one of your back ones.
