10.6.3 update won't download

I tried this and it worked, at least to get iTunes back on my computer. Instead of selecting Run i did Save and first saved the ext to my desktop. When that was done I just ran the exe file. so far works.

Fwiw...I took some advice related to Ad-Aware, and disabled Norton Antivirus...and bingo - it worked!

This should work: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-6239.20120611.Cdre4/iTunesSetup.exe

I had to go to my safari browser on xp and that worked downloaded without a problem.

I couldnt get it to work through firefox or explorer 9

all I wold get was about 46 meg of the file and then stalled and ie explorer timed out after sitting doing nothng for a long time.

try safari...

Success!

As of this morning (7:00 AM on Monday 7/9/2012), the regular update procedure worked -- no fiddling, reconfiguring, or jerry-rigging required. I logged onto iTunes, got the regular pop-up, and clicked on the download button. Unlike previous attempts, after a little while (seemed a bit longer than usual), the normal pop-up appeared with checkboxes for iTunes, Quicktime, Safari, etc. The download just finished while I was writing this.

... wish I knew why it suddenly started working today :-(

Exactly the same for me, yesterday. Just got the regular pop-up, updated iTunes, QuickTime . Safari etc, after weeks of it not working! Operating system is Vista.

I guess they finally released a patch for the iTunes updater not working. I also had a problem where i just bought a new laptop with windows 7 64 bit home premium and i went to install iTunes for the first time on the new laptop and everything installed except is said something about the mobile driver not having the permissions ti start. I resolved this by installing all of the newest updates for my OS through windows update and that was what fixed my problem. Not sure if that helps anyone...

control panel>administrative tools>Services>Apple Mobile Device..

restarting this solve the problem for me.. Try it out.

Win 7 Ultimate Edition

restarting Apple Mobile Device didn't work for me on Windows XP Pro.

I am trying to update through Help | check for updates in iTunes. Press the update button, then the Download button, it thinks for a second or two, and ... nothing.

My problem is similar but caused, I believe, by the paucity of our broadband (its superslow and goes by the name of 'narrowband'), I managed to download the iOS6 for my ipad2 on 3-mobile, but the ones for my iPhone4 simply gave up the ghost and said the network connection failed. I had a similar problem with the iPhoto update (they are 848mb and 1.14Gb respectively) so I may go to my local Apple Store (where local is defined as 30 miles away) and use their connections to do it (they have a 20mbps connection).

I know its the Apple way or no way but why don't they recognises that, in the UK at least, some 15 - 20% of rural users don't have access to speeds much above 1.5 mbps and bring a thumb drive solution out?

"Illegitimi non carborundum" especially where the updates are as big as the original suite of programs.
