itunes 4.8 problems

Jun 6, 2005 2:20AM PDT

I get error 1316 - a network error occured while attempting to read the file.
also error 1603- fatal error during install

HELP!
I must say for a product as expensive and so highly touted I am very disappointed in both Ipod and Itunes, they seem to be nearly incompatible. They survive with difficulty, but now I thought perhaps this upgrade might solve some of this nonsense, but no, just more problems.

anybody have ideas. I have been to MSDN site, and they just list the error but don't seem to offer solutions. Please help if you can.

I can't guess what it is either.

Do you see those words in red?

No not in red, but it says it is a network problem and rolls back to the old previously installed installation.

itunes and ipod just got sunk
Jul 4, 2005 3:43PM PDT

i just got my ipod a few weeks ago for a contest thing that i had won. I had used itunes w/ no problems with my computer. but all of my other freinds have tried to install itunes and have failed miserably. I even went through the step for the error and even that didnt work. I am most likely going to sell it on ebay and get something out of it. Personally I love the Ipod but with this stupid software issue I think Apple needs to rethink what they're doing and fix it.

So dont bother with the steps to resovle the issue (error 1406 1602 1603 fatal blah blah ect ect)cause if it doesnt install the first time it wont ever even if you try. Its not your fault or windows its all Apples fault. COMPLAIN ENOUGH AND THEY WILL FIX IT.

Fingers Crossed *of course*
