Still no joy here! I copied iTunes media file to external hard drive and then proceeded to uninstall iTunes going by the list shown on the apple page of uninstall directions. Did each piece in the order shown. Then accidentally downloaded iTunes before restarting computer. When I realized error I deleted install, checked in downloads and deleted two additional iTunes folders that were there, restarted, ran ccleaner, and restarted again. Downloaded iTunes again and tried to install. It failed, got this message: "This application has failed to start because CoreFoundation.dll ws not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.". ???
Tried to reinstall and failed again...... Is vista this sc@***d up?? Or is it just me?? Error message now says: "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. verify you have sufficient privileges to stem services." my choices were abort/retry/ignore. I hit retry...failed...so hit ignore.... Then got: "the installer was interrupted before the requested operations for iTunes could be completed. Your system has not been modified. To complete these operations at a later time please run the installer again."
I am running the installer again right now, but honestly don't have much hope..... Yesterday I poked my iPad up to my new MacBook pro. It did some sort of short sync and now all my apps and looks like all my iBooks show in that iTunes. It is 10.5 the Mac updated just fine to the new iTunes. No tv shows and not all the music though. I only had a little of the music and none of the tv on the iPad. If the update on the pc (vista) fails again, can I put the external backup of iTunes onto the Mac and would that put everything there so I can update to os5 there???
I am about in tears over this, can anyone help me, please??
Oh, just thought to mention, the exhd is a seagate goflex which is supposed to be compatible with both pc & Mac. It has never been plugged into my Mac.
