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

You should first uninstall iTunes completely.
This is not an easy task!

Itunes can't run because some of its required files are missing. please reinstall itunes.
I have an old Ipod nano, with great music on it, however no pc to sync it to and I dont want to lose the music. I downloaded itunes 10.0 (most recent) and was trying to use yamipod to get the music from it, however it says that it works best with older version of itunes. so i uninstalled new itunes, tried to install older version, had issues, uninstalled all apple programs from pc, now when i try to install older version of itunes i get the error message:
itunes cant run because some of its required files are mising. please re-install itunes....which i tried several times and still keep getting this error message...HELPNo, that did not work. I did a system restore on my computer, and then that's why my iTunes reverted back to version 6. Whenever I try to download the newer version, it keeps giving me this error message:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
And then I will just click 'OK.' Then this will come up:
The path 'C:\DOCUME~1\HP_Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP705.TMP\iTunes.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
I just don't know what to do. Please...more feedback!!! -
I have Windows XP & until recently i-Tunes was working fine.Now when I try to open I get this message "i-Tunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall i-Tunes. So I did. Midway thru ,installation stops & same message is repeated. So I uninstalled i-Tunes, Downloaded new one,went thru installation process for the same result & same message. Have tried procedure 4 times,resulting in same result each time. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.......

That's crazy. A serial number is not required.
Are you certain you chose the correct version to download?

It worked fine one day then failed with this error the next. I tried the repair and a completely fresh install with the same result. I also tried installing an older version (7.0). It installed, but would not connect to the server so I ran the upgrade hoping that it would work. No joy. Back to the error... I haven't been able to find any other things that might fix it. Can anyone help?

Every time that I try to use the updated version of iTunes it crashes on me every time. The program installs completely then just as it closes the screen I get the error message across the screen. If someone could please help me out with this issue.
iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows XPHey jrdeac,
That sounds frustrating! Let's do a full uninstall of iTunes and all related components, then reinstall. The following article explains how to do so for your operating system:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Note: It is important to remove all of the listed software, in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
If the issue persists after completely removing, and reinstalling, please see the following article:

Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing...vista 64 bit OS
I'm running on a Vista 64 bit HP computer, and I have been trying to download itunes for the past couple days and all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes...I have no idea what to do...i have looked around the forums for information and I guess I'm not the only one having issues using a 64 bit OS. Btw the 64 bit Itunes won't work either. It does the same exact thing...
all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes
I'd like to check for malware with that message, Nico. (With modern versions of iTunes, if files really were missing, iTunes would be much more likely to do a repair install of itself when you wen't to launch it, rather than returning the old-fashioned files-are-missing message.
Download and install the free version of MalwareBytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hours on My Lenovo.)

When I reboot my windows desktop i get a message that says apsdaemon.exe can not start because msvcr80.dll is missing. How do i fix this? Thank you in advance.
Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
