Issue uninstalling/updating iTunes

Hello everyone. Like many of you, I recieved the notification to update my iTunes to 10.7 when the new iPhone 5 came out. As usual, I would click on Download Now and let it update itself. However, seeing as how I am here, that is not the case. Initially, the update would go along normally, with the small screen popping up to calcuate the space needed and disappearing soon after. Nothing else came up, even after an hour of waiting. Now, I have tried time and time again to update my iTunes, and after getting fed up with it, decided to uninstall the program along with the other Apple programs that I have. I even used Revo Uninstaller to try and remove any unwanted registries (though some still remain after multiple uses), but the installer still doesn't do anything after that small screen disappears. I apologize for having repeated a similar problem in which other people have posted, but I am at my wits end, and would like to see a light at the end of this cruel tunnel, and would appreciate any help given. Thank you for your time.

I would really appreciate any assistance with this issue, as my next alternative would be to just do a complete wipe of my computer. Also, I apologize for the large wall of text.

  • I attempted to update itunes (Windows 7) it didn't work, after several tries I uninstalled itunes completely, and now I cannot get it to reinstall correctly. help?

    Had issues upon updating iTunes to newest version (11).
    The display settings were not working, I tried to run it in compatibility mode for Windows 7 Service Pack 2, which i'm currently running.
    Still had major issues, couldn't click anywhere on the iTunes window, the only thing I could click was file but even then the dropdown menu wasn't working correctly.
    I tried several times to adjust my computers' settings to accomodate the new version, and still nothing worked.
    I got fed up, and uninstalled the lastest version and now I am having trouble reinstalling.
    I tried the latest version a few more times, and now when I click download on the site link, it doesn't even prompt the download window in Mozilla.
    It doesn't create a location anywhere within my computer either.
    I downloaded 10.7 in hopes of that maybe working, I figured because I haven't updated the iOS on my phone, and my computer is still a little behind that this might help, but it says,
    "itunes library.itl cannot be read" and something to do with having a new version of the file already.
    I just want to have some version of itunes on here, I still have Bonjour, though I think with the issues I am having the Software update must be gone along with any itunes program I previously had.
    I cannot restore any previous versions because I haven't backed it up on to anything for quite some time.
    I just want to manage my iPhone 4 again, and this is driving me nuts.
    Any help is very appreciated,
    thanks for reading.

    The Problem is resolved by :
    Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
    Restart the computer.
    Thanks to my friend Sunil.

  • Trouble update itune and Quictime

    Can anyone help me with this issue:
    Tried update itune and Quicktime, but keep getting the following errors:
    -C:\program File\Quicktime\QTsystem\QT Java.dll
    (file not found)
    -Error code: -3
    When attempting open iTunes get the following error:
    Quicktime 7.0.02 installed, Need Quicktime 7.0.3 or later. Reinstall iTunes.
    Tried several things with no change. Don't have access to my music on iTunes any longer. Can someone help me? Thanks!
    Update:
    Still can't get itune or Quicktime to work. Frustrated and tried everything I can think of.........Does anyone have any ideas!

    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    That's the Standalone installer for Quicktime 7.0.3, without iTunes bundled in. Attempt to install that after a computer restart, then restart again and try to launch iTunes (assuming the installation goes through without errors).

  • Unable to Uninstall, Install, nor Update iTunes

    I'm seriously at my wits end with this, let me start by saying. Furthermore, it's rather disgraceful that virtually nobody helped me with this issue the last time I posted it. Regardless of such, back to the matter at hand.
    I have been trying for months--MONTHS--to get some kind of progress on this. I am running on Windows 8, 64-Bit.
    Every time I attempt to update iTunes from the Apple Software Update dock, it nears completion...then an exclamation mark in a red circle appears near both downloads, one after the other, and ultimately fails.
    Yes, I HAVE attempted the "Download Only" button. Yes, I HAVE attempted uninstalling from the Control Panel, which leads to the biggest problem in that I can't remove the blasted program from there. I click uninstall, it blinks the "starting" box for a second, then nothing. So, I attempt through the "change" option, only to recieve the message that a problem occured during INSTALLATION. As this is Windows 8, the CleanUp Utility from before and Mr. FixIt both fail to install. So, I finally got ahold of Revo Uninstaller, and after that finally turned something up, it stated that the installation package was missing.
    I've searched my computer for iTunes64.msi. It shows up in Regedit--but nowhere else. Speaking of, yes, I have tried the various Regedit sugessions of WOW 64 value changing and such. I've also granted permissions to Everyone on every Apple related file on my computer.
    I repeat, I am running on Windows 8 64-Bit.
    And please, please do not link me to Apple's site and suggest running from IE or Firefox, I have already tried that--and Google Chrome is my default browser for all, so I've tried from here, too.
    I've looked around, and this seems not an entirely uncommon problem. However, none of the discussions bearing the same kinds of symptoms seem to ever be addressed. When iTunes NEEDS to be updated in order to sync with my iPod at all, this is nothing short of a crippling technical error.
    Someone, anyone give me something to work with; this is nothing short of infuriating at this point.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    (There is also a link to the specific FixIt tool referred to above.)

    I was trying to update itunes on my computer that has windows vista. during the update I received an error message; so I uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it. the instatlation process stopped with this message: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify thta you have sufficient priviledges to start system services." I have used an ipad 2 since 2011 and have never had a problem with my itunes account or my ipad until now.
    What steps do I need to complete to get my itunes account up and running again?

    Hi Kayleenfromwi,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service.  This article has instructions for doing this:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying the steps in this article:

    I updated iTunes on my Dell Inspiron lap top and it corrupted my iTunes. I uninstalled all of the newly installed files.  I also uninstalled iTunes.  Now whenever I try to install iTunes, I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    Tried it 2 times and no luck.  Any advice for me?
    Maureen

    I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    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.)

    I keep getting the same message:  There is a problem with this windows installer package.  A program required for this install to comlete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor. 
    I have read that others having this problem trying to update iTunes have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes to solve this problem, however, I cannot completely unistall or re-install iTunes.  I have a new iPod which is useless unless I can reinstall iTunes. 
    Is there anything you can suggest to help resolve this issue. Thank you in advance

  • Updated iTunes to newest version, and once iTunes opened, it crashes immediately.  Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program numerous times.  Also had a hard time getting a network connection over the weekend (I knew my connection was fine)

    Updated iTunes to the newest version but have been unable to use it since.  Once it opens and tries to connect to the iTunes store it crashes and asks me to close the program and report the problem.  In the Windows information center, it tells me to update iTunes to the newest version to fix the problem; when I do and I tell it to repair the problem it goes through the motions, but the program doesn't change, it still doesn't work.  I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling the program numerous times from the weekend until now to no avail.  After the update was completed, it had a difficult time making a network connection; I knew that the connection was fine, as I was on the internet and receiving e-mail at the same time.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    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 (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    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.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Is it possible to update itunes without getting Mavericks? I have an issue with my iPhone.

    I recently updated to ios8.0.2 for my iphone 5s. And now when I plug it into my macbook, itunes prompts me to update itunes because ios8 apparently doesn't allow me to sync the previous version of itunes. But the new itunes requires updating to Mavericks, which I really DO NOT want to do, mostly because I do run Bootcamp a lot and start up in windows from time to time. I've heard people  having issues with bootcamp and Mavericks, like having to re install Windows/Parallels/etc. and I am not ready for that mess. I don't have access to my windows 7 serial number anymore (it was given to me by a teacher awhile back with whom I don't have contact with anymore). I'm just ultimately trying to avoid screwing up bootcamp/windows, losing files, and having to purchase windows if the worst case scenario happens.
    I considered just using itunes in windows, but on the windows side of things, itunes wont give me the notification/option to transfer all my purchases from my iphone, so there goes that. If there is a solution to just transferring purchases, I'd much rather go that route than the mess of mavericks.

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.
