HT201413 Apple Application Support

Whenever i try opening iTunes, a message pops up to say "Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2 (Windows error 2)"

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes should also reinstall Apple Application Support.

HT201413 updated last night and now ipod says to coonect to itunes which i cant because apple application support was not found. tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes. Will i lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes). I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found. Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes. Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters.)

Error message when installing iTunes on Windows 7, "Apple Application Support was not found, Error 2"

I can successfully download iTunes on my PC, but receive an error message when I try to install the file: "Apple Application Support was not found... Error 2" I've tried deleting the file and reinstalling it to no avail. Any ideas?

Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes and then install iTunes again. Error 2. After this I

So when I plugged in my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4), iTunes told me it needed to update to the newest version... so I did. After installing it it gave me an error (-45019) that said that a required component wasn't installed. I looked it up and people were saying to unistall iTunes and all apple related software and reinstall itunes which i did. I am on Windows 8.1.
Now it gives me this error. "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please unistall iTunes and install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows Error 2)." I did this and it gave me the same message... Please help! How do i get iTunes running again?

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/
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.)

I installed Itunes on my Vista, but error reads that there was no Apple Application Support installed and Itunes needs this in order to run

I need to back up my iphone 5s on my old PC running Windows Vista SP2. After installing the proper iTunes that would run on Vista, I get an error as follows;

I will appreciate any help. Thanks

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.

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?

I can't use itunes because I don't have apple application support

I have recently got I new laptop, and I wished to transfer all my itunes libraries to my new laptop from my old. I plugged in my iPhone 3GS into my new computer, having not previously downloaded the latest update for either iTunes (on my old laptop) or my iPhone, the new laptop did it instantly. Therefore, it never gave me the option of transferring my purchases, which is what I had planned on doing, so I lost all my music and apps. However, I had my photos and contacts etc, and my music and apps were still on my old laptop, so I set up home share, and now have my library on both laptops, but cannot get my apps there and cannot get my library from my new laptop to my iPhone. So, not sure of what to do, I plugged my iPhone back into my old computer, which had the older version of iTunes, unlike my new laptop. ITunes then told me that I had to uninstall it and then reinstall it because it was the older version. I misread this stupidly, and dowloaded the newer version, which annoyingly didn't even download properly. So, after re-reading the message that came up when I plugged in my iPhone, I looked up on the apple website how to uninstall and reinstall iTunes etc, and it told me I had to uninstall a number of programmes, inlcuding Apple Application support, I wasn't 100% sure why I had to do this, but i thought it would be best if i followed the instructions, and so I erased that from my old laptop, and tried reinstalling itunes. After several attempts, iTunes wasn't even downloading, but eventually it worked, however, upon opening the programme, I recieve a message telling my to uninstall itunes and reinstall it because there is no Apple Application Support, so i do this but to no avail, the same message appears. I have tried installing Quick Time because I read on a website that it would help, but this also had no effect, I really need to get my music and apps back onto my phone, but without iTunes I don't know how! Help!

Download iTunes to a computer, connect the device, and restore as new.

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.

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.

When I download Itunes I get an error that my apple application support was not found how do I fix this error

I have downloaded, uninstalled and redowloaded Itunes about 50 times and I continue to get the error that my apple application support was not found and that I should uninstall and reinstall Itunes. I can not get to my music and this is starting to really make me mad. Can anyone (other than some bogus virus filled program) give me a hint as to how I can fix this so I can play my music?

When I click iTunes, it says i need Apple Application Support. How do I get it ? because I havent been able to get on Itunes since November. Anything will help .

I havent been able to get on ITunes since November and I have to update my ipod to iOS. When iTunes is installing it says an error message that has nothing to do with Itunes. Then it starts the install over again then it says that my Apple Mobile Support isnt working and the choices are to abort, cancel, or close. Then after the install is done it says Apple Application Support isnt found. I un installed and re-installed plenty of times and still nothing is working. And my ipod still dont have the iOS update.

Since it said to contact support, did you contact support?

iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
Hi Redgilly (and others).
I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
Problems:
The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070BC9. Assembly interface: IassemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {837BF1EB-D770-94EB-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
Solution:
Through this error I found this MSKB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\
PendingXmlIdentifier
NextQueueEntryIndex
AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
Reboot and reinstall iTunes.
I hope this helps.

I've tried uninstalling it and installing it several times. I've tried to download Apple Application Support separately but it just says:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4... Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x800736FD

You have missing information in your Windows programming.
You need to repair your computer so it can run iTunes. If you plug those error codes into your browser you may get an answer.

Itunes won't open on my Vista Ultimate OS-error message is "ITunes won't open w/o Apple applications support, uninstalled and installed numerous time, QuickTime too?

Itunes will not boot on Vista Ultimate- error message is Itunes cannot opperate w/o Apple Application Support
ITunes has been uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, program files and Window files have been checked and deleted.
All I want to do is update my I4 IPhone

Quicktime doesn't open either and sends same error message
