Latest update failed to install and cannot now open iTunes at all.

I tried to install the latest update of iTunes on my laptop but it failed.  I got both a 'runtime error' message and also an error message saying 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.
I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling an earlier version but nothing is working so I am unable to back up my files and transer things between my iphone and my kids' ipod Touches.
I would really appreciate any ideas of what I can do as I need to get iTunes back on my laptop.
Thank you

Hey gina 2909,
When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you use this article?
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
If you haven't already done these steps, this section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,
Delgadoh

    Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes  won't run

    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.

  • Have installed creative cloud, but while the apps read "up to date," they are not even installed and cannot be opened. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud/Adobe.

    Have installed creative cloud, but while the apps read "up to date," they are not even installed and cannot be opened. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud/Adobe. Horribly frustrating. This is my second computer for installing creative cloud. Does that make a difference?

  • TS4123 iTunes Update failed, windows 7, can no longer open iTunes

    I tried to download and install the latest version of iTunes, via the automated notification I get and it failed. I can no longer open iTunes.
    I get a Run Time Error.
    Program: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's supportteam for more information.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey there AndyB999,
    It sounds like you are getting this error message when installing iTunes 11.1.4 on your computer. This error message is mentioned in the following article:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    "Runtime Error: R6034 - An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly"
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Part of the troubleshooting does involve re installing iTunes again, but the article linked therein will show how to uninstall iTunes and its associated programs as well for a clean install.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Firefox won't open in Windows 8.1 after latest update failed to install

    Latest update for firefox failed to install.
    Now, when I try to open firefox, I get the hourglass circle and then....Nothing. Check the processes and it is showing as a background process, but not doing anything. No error message, no crash alert.
    So, I uninstalled firefox. Download the installer. Open the installer and...nothing. Again the process is there but nothing is happening.
    Tried killing all processes and rebooting and trying the re-install. Still nothing.
    The only thing I haven't checked is Nortons Firewall but I thought I might as well ask while I am at work if there is anything else I should check.
    Was working fine until this update failed. On Win8.1

    I would try restoring preferences: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5
    If that doesn't work, a Clean and Reinstall might do it...
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Updates failing to install and now RAW won't work

    Just reinstalled Photoshop CS5 on a new computer... Photoshop is working fine until I imported new shots and tried to edit them in RAW.
    Wouldn't read the data.
    So ran all the updates.. only BRIDGE, EXTENSION MANAGER & ILLUSTRATOR updates have failed.
    All it says is "There was an error downloading this update.Please quit and try again later".
    I have... still hasn't worked.
    And what's even worst is there seems to be no option to chat directly to Adobe.
    This needs to be resolved now as I have a client waiting.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

  • 10.5.7 update failed to install

    The 10.5.7 update failed to install and I have got the following message:
    The update "Mac OS X Update" can't be installed.
    The following install step failed: run preinstall script for MacOSXUpd10.5.7.
    Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    What might be the problem?

    I also have a problem with the disk permissions. Anytime I launch the 'verify disk permissions' I have got the same bunch of warnings:
    Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .
    Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/PlugIns/DVD.frappliance/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .

    Repairing disk permissions doesn't help: I've got the same warnings again and again.
    May be there is a connection between these two problems?

  • Cannot now open the mail application - any clues as to how i can fix this ?

    Just downloaded Yosemite and cannot now open the mail application - how can i get this back ?
    thanks

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

    I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

    I too had this problems (Windows 8.1).  A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
    Today I fixed the problem by:
    Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features.  I uninstalled:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    Delete the folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall QuickTime
    Reinstall iTunes
    Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store.  You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.
