Every time I click on my itunes it says, Apple Application Support was not found it says to uninstall itunes then install again. Well I have done this about 10 times now it is still doing the same thing. What do I do?

Assuming a PC try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

What does it mean when it says "Apple Application Support was not found"

Ok. I uninstalled everything that was related to itunes because it wouldn't let me connect my ipod to itunes. a few days ago I think I uninstalled something that I needed because now I can't even open itunes. It keeps saying "apple application support was not found" when I try to open the program. And it says :"Error 2 (Windows error 2)" I've tried to download everything. itunes 64-bit, 32-bit, update, latest version, and something else I believe. Why can't I get itunes back on my computer? Please help!

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

HT1926 I cannot get iTunes to load -- "Apple Application Support was not found". I have tried multiple things to fix it and nothing works including re-installing.

Try b noir's post Standalone Apple Application Support install to see if that can repair the problem or provide futher information, otherwise try reinstalling again as shown in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

I am trying to install itunes on my pc again but keep getting an error that says'apple application support was not found. try reinstalling itunes.' error 2.
We have had itunes on this pc for 2 years and recently it wouldn't open and another error message kept popping up saying it couldn't open because MSVCR80.dll was missing. I have unistalled the apple programs and tried reinstalling several times but to no avail. Hopefully my music library is not gone. Any Ideas out there?

ITunes wont load Apple Application Support was not found

I have been having a lot of trouble downloading itunes. I had it on my laptop and then the laptop crashed. I tried to re-install,and it goes smooth then at the end. I get a window message that has a red and white X that says:
Apple Application Support was not found
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunesHelper. please unistall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2
ok
Can anyone help me PLEASE?
Thanks

With that one, let's try uninstalling both iTunes and Apple Application Suppport. When we reinstall iTunes, that should reinstall Apple Application Support as well. We'll take a few additional explicit precautions along the way too. Best to print these instructions out, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
Preliminaries
Download and save a fresh iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the iTunes install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now, quit QuickTime (if you have that open) and Safari 4.0.4 (if you have that installed and open). Both applications use Apple Application Support, and they will interfere with the uninstall if you have them open.
*Uninstall phase*
Head into your "Add or Remove Programs" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support (if it is listed in there).
(From this point on until we reinstall Apple Application Support, neither QuickTime nor Safari 4.0.4 will be able to run.)
Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
(1) Open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are stored on.
(2) Open the "Program Files" folder.
(3) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
(4) Open the "Common files" folder.
(5) Open the "Apple" folder.
(6) Right-click on the Apple Application Support folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Now empty your Recycle Bin and restart the PC.
*Reinstall Phase*
After the PC restarts, do not open any other applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus and antispyware).
Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Did the install seem to go through okay? If so, does iTunes start launching properly again?

I have downloaded itunes to my computer which has windows based 7 and I get an error saying Apple Application Support was not found error 2. What do I need to do.

I have downloaded itunes to my computer which is windows 7 and I get an error 2 which says Apple Application Support was not found does anyone know how to overcome this error?

Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

Unable to Reinstall iTunes - error message: "Apple Application Support was not found"

When attempting to update my iPhone today, my iTunes would not open. I followed the instructions to completely uninstall iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and Apple Applications Support. I then attempted to reinstall iTunes, and everything went perfectly until I attempted to open iTunes. When attempting this, I am receiving the message "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2). Any advice on how to "get this back"?

Read through the user ip http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6562 for the best solution.
