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.

  • 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 tried updating to itunes 10.5 and now when i try to open itunes i get a message saying "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2)

    Ok so I went to update my itunes 9 to itunes 10.5 and now I get and error message "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2) when ever I try to run itunes and iv been trying to fix this for like a month and let me tell you iTunes for windows is **** and I really want Icloud for my iphone 4 and yes iv tried uninstalling everything by apple in the correct order and reinstalling them after restart atleast honestly 20 - 30 times but nothing worked so if anyone can please help me I have windows 7 and a hp intel pentium computer 

    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.

  • I'm getting the error msg "apple application support was not found.  Apple application support is required to run itunes. error 2.  How can i fix this?

    Hi,  I was running itunes software just fine. I got some malware and unintalled everything that was from apple.  Now, I reinstalled itunes but can't run it because I get the msg "Apple application support was not found. Apple application support is required to run itunes. Error msg 2.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Thank you.

    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:
    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 instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • 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"?

  • After i upload it, it says "Apple Application Support was not found"

    So the iTunes with all my songs, is on my old computer and to share it throughout the house to my new computer i need to download iTunes 9, which I did, and it said it was successful. But then when i tried to open iTunes, it says "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes, please uninstall iTunes then install iTunes again" Well this is the third time I've tried, I downloaded the older version and it said my library had been created on a newer version. I have no idea what to do. Oh and I can't get my disk drive to work so I can't do a disk back-up.

    Hi, decent.devil.
    I would recommend uninstalling iTunes, all of it's components and reinstall.  Below, I have included an article that covers this process.  Make sure to uninstall all programs in the order specified.

  • 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:

    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):

    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").

    Doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone Apple Software Update install.
    Doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.
    Do those four installs go through okay? If so, does your iTunes launch without any errors now?

    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.

    1. Save iTunes install file to your desktop.

    3. Disable Firewall/Security software.
    4. Run install. Note that it installs Application Support and a bunch of other software this time.
    5. Run iTunes.
    6. Enable Firewall/Security software.
    7. Reconnect to internet.
    8. Download Watchmen Director's Cut post haste.
    OR!
    (Original post by Cr4z33)
    1. Download and install WinRAR.

    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
    4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.
