  • How come when i open my itunes it says "itunes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." What do i do?

    last night i wanted to update my ipad to 4.3 and when i tried to; it told me i had to download the new itunes too. so i tried downloading the new updated version on itunes, and this morning when i tried to open my itunes it said "itumes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." what do i do?

    With that one, I think we should try getting the malware possibilities off the table first.
    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

  • Recently updated itunes to (10.22.14) when attempting to open itunes, it fails to open and I get this message: itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes.

    Just updated itunes to (10.22.14) and itunes won't open. I get message: Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes. Is there any other way to troubleshoot this other than reinstalling itunes?

    With that one in that context, I think we should check for malware.

    Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.'  Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times.  Now what?

    I figured it out.  A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help.  So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean.  And it worked.  I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked!  And I lost nothing from my account.
    Maybe this info will help others.

    HI daddio,
    Ok some things first I need to know...Did you use Microsoft cleanup utility to clean up all those uninstalls you have done?
    I hate Norton and anyone who reads my posts will know that. I have seen way too many infected PC's by Norton users. Did you try the EWIDO and AdAware scan? I see you said you read lots of posts. That is helping folks remove the malware in order to get iTunes and quicktime back to health.

  • TS1717 I tried to open iTunes but a box pops up.  In it is written "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.  Please reinstall iTunes."  I have done so a number of times but nothing is working.  How can I fix this problem?

    iTunes will not open because a dialog box pops up with "Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.  Please reinstall iTunes.". I have done so a few times to no avail.  Any solutions for this problem?

  • ITunes 10.6.1.7: "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." ?

    Fakt:
    iTunes 10.6.1.7 Fehlermeldung: "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    Jeder Versuch iTunes zu starten war bisher vergeblich: unter anderem auch das Vorgehen nach Artikel HT1925 der knowledge base.
    Frage:
    Windows XP Neuinstallation und/oder Installation einer älteren iTunes-Version als letzter Ausweg?

    Antwort und Lösung eine Woche später:
    Deinstallation und Neuinstallation von iTunes 10.6.1.7 produziert dieselbe Fehlermeldung.
    Es hilft nur eine Reparatur von iTunes unter Systemsteuerung / Software. Allerdings muss hier Windows XP mit Hilfe von Ausführen / msconfig im benutzerdefinierten Modus erneut gestartet werden - ohne APSDaemon, Avira und Skype zu laden!
    Die Fehlermeldung unterblieb, die Reparatur schritt voran, meldete Erfolg und benannte eine wohl defekte Datenenbank unter C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccountName\My Documents\My Music\iTunes um in:

    Reinstalling iTunes simply replaces the application.  It shouldn't affect your media.  You do have backups, right?

  • ITunes (11.3 64bit) cannot run because some its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.

    just set up my new laptop lenovo x240.
    Windows 7 SP1.
    itunes 64bit 11.3
    first install went fine. then I tried to move my preexisting library. the library did not show the apps. so I tried around. Treid to re-install itunes.
    Since I did, after the re-install, iTunes gives me the error message "iTunes cannot run because some its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I tried the  -_> link: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    unfortunately it did not resolve. please, advise... I am quite desperate... and surprised this is happening, since I am on a clean corporate laptop.
    perhaps, can someone also steer me to a corner, where I can deactivate the cloud install pop-up ones starting iTunes?

    See the advice given in the user tip:Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for a very workable approach.

  • Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.

    I have unistalled it completly, manually deleted everything that has to do with Apple, and I installed Itunes countless times. Frustating at its best how do I fix this problem?

    I did try to uninstall and reinstall.  It messed up my computer.  I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup.  This was not helpful at all.  I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all.  Geeze.......

  • HT1926 itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.  please reinstall itunes

    i cannot install itunes on my xp computer... when i install itunes, it downloads to the end, then gives me a warning that to reinstall itunes, so i go to repair and the useless piece of software uninstalls itself, so i hjave to start over again and it still give me the same outcome....Grrrrrrrrr

  • "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." Will I lose purchases?

    So, I received the above message (and continue to receive it even after restartind the computer) when I try to open iTunes. To my knowledge, we did not delete any files. Anyway, I'm concerned that in reinstalling, I will lose purchsed content, specifically music and movies. Will those files be lost when I reinstall? Is there a way to back up the music library and the movies before the reinstall even if I can't open iTunes? Or, if I do lose the content, is there a way to get it back without having to repurchase?
    Thanks!

  • ITunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall.

    I've tried it 5 times and reinstalled quick time. I have a very old windows xp pc. Please help me. I don't know what to do.

    hiya!
    good translation there of the 1610 text. that's pretty much the standard English text for the message:
    Error codes returned by MsiExec.exe and InstMsi.exe
    ... okay, we'll need at least a 7.0.3 in there to run itunes 6.0.x. (i prefer 7.0.4, it seems to be a bit more stable on the install for people.)
    wanting to remove the previous version of QT is fine and normal. multiple versions of QT on a PC tends to produce stability problems.
    the 1610 is the underlying problem causing the -3. so we'd better try to fix that.
    the 1610 is pretty exotic. can't remember the last time i saw one on an iTfW/QTfW install/uninstall. so we'll start conservatively.
    let's see if your Add/Remove control panel lets you uninstall your existing QT. if we can clean that out of the way first, we might be able to get the standalone QT 7.0.4 in there without further problems.
    use the QT component of the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to try to cleanly remove your existing QT:
    Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
    if it gives you another error on the uninstall, post back to let us know what that one says.
    if the uninstall goes through fine, try the careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall again.
    if you get an error message on the reinstall, let us know what it says.
    if the reinstall goes through fine, does itunes launch properly again?
