Uninstall typings. Typescript types are now managed by npm under the @types namespace:

npm uninstall --save typings

Also, delete the typings subdirectory.

To update from Angular 2 to Angular 4 please follow this steps:

1 - Ensure you don't use extends OnInit, or use extends with any lifecycle event. Instead use implements <lifecycle event>.

2 - Update all of your dependencies to version 4 and the latest TypeScript using

Mac/Linux

npm install @angular/{animations,common,compiler,compiler-cli,core,forms,http,platform-browser,platform-browser-dynamic,platform-server,router}@4.0.0 typescript@latest --save

Windows

 npm install @angular/common@next @angular/compiler@next @angular/compiler-cli@next @angular/core@next @angular/forms@next @angular/http@next @angular/platform-browser@next @angular/platform-browser-dynamic@next @angular/platform-server@next @angular/router@next @angular/animations@next --save

3 - If you use animations in your application, you should import BrowserAnimationsModule from @angular/platform-browser/animations in your App NgModule.

4 - Rename your template tags to ng-template.

5 - If you want to validate your forms add ngNativeValidate because angular 4 added novalidate attribute to all forms

if you still having some issues try to update nodejs and Typescript npm install -g typescript@latest

If none of that helped please update your Angular CLI to the latest version

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

and generate a new Angular 4 project using ng new newProject and move your logic and templates to the new app.
