I had a itune update fail, now I get an error message (windows error 2). what do I need to do?

I had an itune update fail. now I get an error message. "windows error 2". I can not open itunes!

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/
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.)

    Hey there!
    I've spent the best part of the day unpicking this huge mess from the upgrade I completed last night - what a nightmare. I followed a tonne of advice - [actaully, this link was really helpful to me]: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr80-dll-not-found-missing -error.htm however, I still could not fix the **** thing - and that was following basically a day of uninstalling, installing etc.
    In the end - I completed a system restore taking my computer back about five days, and just ignoring the new upgrade with itunes until they can get this fixed.
    I hope that this might work for you and anyone else reading this. It nearly drove me to drink [!]. I seemed to get past one error message and have it replaced by another - so the system restore was basically the last resort.
    Good luck - !

    I'be been trying to download itunes update it comes up with an error
    i have tried ti download i tunes 11.0.3 and again an error keeps coming up
    please help

    That is odd. I would uninstall iTunes from the computer and re-install it from scratch. The cool thing is that it won't delete any music or backups and such. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925?viewlocale=en_US this here link walks through uninstalling and re-installing iTunes. The basics are going to your control panel and removing iTunes, Quick time, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support, Bonjour, and Apple application support. Then go to iTunes.com and download a new copy of iTunes. This should resolve the issue!
    If you need further help uninstalling iTunes you may want to call 1-800-my-apple.

    An update came up on my computer so started the installment - went thru removal then about half way thru installing update gave me error and went off screen.  Tried to open iTunes and says MSVCR80.dll is missing - reinstall program.  Said it was not installed correctly.  Didn't have a problem with iTunes until this update - any suggestions to fix

  • HT201413 itunes update failed - can't get past "Apple mobile device failed to start"

    Any help would be appreciated:
    I opened itunes today and got the standard needs-to-update message, so I let it do its thing.  Rather than update like usual, it stopped and said there was an error and it failed to finish (didn't copy that one down).  I tried clicking on the desktop link, but it said there was something missing and I should reinstall it. 
    I went and uninstalled it, then went to the itunes site and downloaded the latest version, and now I'm stuck with this:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    Then I have the option to abort, retry, or ignore.  I can't ignore it 'cause it brings me back there, and retry does the same.  Abort just cancels the whole install.
    I looked up "Apple Mobile Device" but the help tips just tell me to stop it and start it again, but it never started.  I tried to start it, but I get this:
    "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device service on Local Computer.  Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
    Where do I go from here?  It has always just...updated.  I have no idea where it's getting this problem from.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • I have been using itunes on my windows based pc for years but since installing the latest itunes update I have been getting the error message A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes. (-42404)

    I have been using itunes on my windows 64 bit laptop for years but since downloading the latest itunes 10.7 update whenever I opened itunes the error message 'A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes (-42404)'
    Itunes would still load and play music in my library and I could still sync my ipod but when loading a CD itunes would not recognise the album/tracks and I would need to type them manualing after uploading.
    I have just bought the new iphone5 and went to sync the phone with itunes. itunes recognises the iphone when plugged in via the usb port or when wi fi is turned on but itunes will not allow the phone to sync.
    I spent over an hour the other morning speaking to apple customer support and have ensured I have administer right and that UAC is turned off.
    I was taken through msconfigure and adjusted the startup tab but still no joy.
    In the end I was e-mailed instructions on how to uninstall and then reinstall itunes and component parts.
    Now that I've uninstalled itunes when I try reinstalling I get the following messages during the download.
    The 1st message is;
    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application  Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    When I click ok the next message that appears sometime later during the install is;
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    The options I have are to abort, retry or ignore. If I retry the same message comes back and if I  abort or ignore the download continues and I then get the following message:
    'Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes, then reinstall itunes again. Error 2'
    After attempting to reinstall itunes only some components were installed however itunes would not open.
    It would appear many people have experienced problems with this latest download!

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • I was forced into an update and now i get constant error messages and crashes I'm missing folders and it doesn't work the same way twice.

    Last week I had a pop up that said I had an update from Thunderbird. It wouldn't take no for an answer and went ahead and did the update. It updated to 12.0.1 which from what I can see is already outdated. Since it did its update it hasn't worked right and I keep getting messages of long running scripts. I have messages running in tabs across the top that I can't get rid of. It takes extra steps to get back to the inbox. I also lost 2 of my folders. I' ran AVG scan and maintenance. Malwarebytes found 2 problems that it quarantined but didn't seem to be associated with T/bird. One folder came back after that. I have another folder that is labeled NSTMP that shows 518MB of use but when I open it there is nothing there. I'm not sure if I picked up something in the last update or not. It seems it tried to do this before and I told it never to update. At this point should I just update to the latest program and see what happens? I can't seem to find a way to transfer all of the folders to a thumb drive without going one message at a time and I'd at least like to back it up. Any thoughts/ideas appreciated. Thanks Doug T

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

  • Up dated to itunes 10.4 now i get an error and wont open HELP!!!!

    is anyone having this issue? I updated to 10.4 now I can't even open ituns with out and error popping up I even tried to do it again but same problem...can anyone help me...

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click Repair.
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things):

  • Itunes update failed on 2 computers, couldn't find msvcr80.dll files.Now have no itunes at all

    iTunes update failed on both computers. Couldn't find msvcr80.dll, now I have no iTunes at all. Is it iTunes or the computers?

    I did NOT move the other folders (Album Artwork, Mobile Applications, Playlists, Previous iTunes Libraries) or files (iTunes Library, iTunes Library Extras, iTunes Library Genius, iTunes Music Library) that are located inside the Music/iTunes folders.
    should be no problem. i'm doing this also.
    Everything was working fine on both computers - Consolidated the library on the external drive and did the Change the location of the iTunes Media folder in Preferences on both computers, no problem.
    However I added two movies and a few songs to my desktop Mac yesterday - all showed up and played fine after adding them - but when I plug the external drive into my laptop, the new additions don't appear in the library.
    if you're purchasing content from the iTMS, you could use _*Home Sharing*_ to automatically add new content to all machines on your local network.
    Am I right in guessing that it is because the iTunes Library file on the laptop isn't the same as the one on the desktop computer?
    yes.
    Is there a way to add them to the library listing on the laptop? If yes, is that something I need to do every time I connect the external drive to the laptop if I've added things from the desktop computer (I never add stuff on the laptop).
    basically, yes. however, there's _*Home Sharing*_ and ... see below.
    Should I have put the entire iTunes folder - files, folder and media - onto the external drive?
    that's one possibility, however, only one Mac @ a time could access that library. there are other options:

    check out TuneRanger.

    My Windows XP software recently had an automatic update and now when I open iTunes, I receive the message "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes." 
    I have not used iTunes for several weeks so the issue may not be related to the last Windows XP automatic upgrade.  I have never had problems with iTunes in the past.  Is this a real message or perhaps a virus?
    Before I reinstall iTunes, any thoughts?

    It's a real message.
    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
