Problem Intalling iTunes; Missing Component

Okay so I haven't updated my iTunes to the latest one and whenever I updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 8, iTunes needed to be updated as well for it to sync. So I did, and it crashed while updating. So I uninstalled it the safe way, the one where you have to remove the components in order and re-install it again. When I tried to download it again (with it's latest update) it would finish downloading and it would say "Open iTunes when finished" and when I click finish, it would come back saying its missing a component. It would pop up two notifications: the first one saying,
iTunes Helper
Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application Support to run required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2
The Second one would say:
iTunes
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)
Figured when you re-install iTunes it would re-install the components too but undoubtedly not since when I do uninstall iTunes (typing in Control Panel "apple" usually brings up iTunes and its components) it doesn't show all of the components that should've came with it. How do I fix this problem? And how do I get Apple Application Support back? If it helps, I have a PC with Windows 7 64-bit.

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 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.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

    1. Download and install WinRAR (or 7-Zip)
    2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR" (or 7-Zip).
    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".  (In my case, it didn't even ask to repair, it just installed it.

  • Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes?   Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere.  Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

  • Repeating problems (1) Many Missing Files; and (2) Downloading From iTunes

    I am having multiple issues with the iTunes store currently. I have spoken with an Apple Expert on August 14, 2010 (case number available if needed). Although he was very good at helping me to the best of his ability, he referred me to iTunes Store Customer Service, which I previously was in contact with.
    I have 2 types of repeating problems (1) Many Missing Files; and (2) Downloading From iTunes Store.
    _Problem One - (1) Downloading From iTunes Store_
    I have 1610 missing files from my iTunes folders. I created a list of missing items by following these steps:
    +If for any reason you find yourself with random missing tracks, (or are trying to recover from a dying hard drive like me), there is an easy way to isolate those missing tracks.+
    +1. Create a standard playlist called "Not Missing".+
    +2. Drag your entire library into that playlist. Missing tracks cannot+
    +be copied to a playlist.+
    +3. Create a smart playlist called where you select the following conditions in the options window for the new smart playlist:+
    +*dropdown menu* PLAYLIST+
    +*dropdown menu* IS NOT+
    +*dropdown menu* NOT MISSING.+
    +4. Rename the smart playlist "Missing"+
    +5. Right Click the "Missing" playlist+
    +6. Click the "Export..." option+
    +7. Select the Plain Text option and Desktop location+
    My missing playlistable items represent a better part of a decades worth of audiobook files, transfered files from my PC days, etc... i loved my - now missing - Doctor Who and Torchwood purchases from iTunes.
    I have already read the Trouble Shooting, checked Time Machine Backup, and been walked through replacing the preferences list. The missing file path from the "get info" options in iTunes points towards a non-existant file.
    _Problem Two (2) Downloading From iTunes Store_
    I have had problems downloading files from iTunes for months. I first noticed it with the TV Show "Avatar: The Last Airbender". Lately, when I download from the (non-music) part of the store, the majority of files are downloaded and then immediately not found. This has been prompting iTunes to repeat the download. Until I force quit itunes and *potentially cry*.
    There have been multiple iTunes store purchases of audio books recently. If I reported the missing file immediately, I can contact iTunes support to repost the file and that usually fixes the issue. But today, I went to go rewatch "Torchwood: Children of Earth" and noticed Problem One.
    _Hind Sight_
    If provided with a spreadsheet of my iTunes Store purchase history, I can write a vlookup( formula in excel to compare the list against my exported missing list so a shortlist of what is missing from just my iTunes Store purchase history can be created (hint: it's the majority of items from the list, others are years worth of files from my PC days). If we could do that, could iTunes make my missing purchases available?
    Then we can focus on purely, trying to figure out why they went missing in the first place - so we can prevent it again & possibly help others from running into the same.
    Plea
    I strongly suspect the two issues are related to a root cause ... in addition to my user error in file management of backups ... what is going on?

    iTunes Support (Eric) emailed me some instructions. I am posting, in hopes that this will help others.

  • Problems with iTunes 7.1.2 : Missing Contacts Info

    Problems with iTunes 7.1.2 : Missing Contacts Info !
    I synced my iPhone 5s (running v 7.1.1) to my late 2010 MacBook Pro 13" (OSX 10.9.4) using iTunes (can't remember exactly which version of iTunes, but whatever was the latest around the end of May 2014).
    Subsequently, I upgraded my iPhone 5s to v 7.1.2 and also upgraded iTunes to 11.3.1 (2), then synced my 5s to my MacBook Pro.
    Following this, on both my iPhone and on my Mac (I don't use iCloud), many of my Contact details had reverted to a much older version, and most of the information under the "notes" field in each contact was missing.
    Is there a way to revert to the prior version of iTunes (7.1.1) or otherwise restore this missing information?  There is critical information in my Contacts that has now ceased to exist!

    Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. Before doing the step back to 6.5.2, try a complete QT reinstall.
    This is how:
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    FWIW, FCP4.5 can run without issue under 10.4.x and QT7, but it is VERY stable under 10.3.9 and QT6.5.2.
    Good luck.

  • Scriptgen problem; missing component: 4

    hello all,
    after compiling and converting my javacard applet to .cap format i try to load it into the smart card after using scriptgen to generate the necessary apdu commands to load the caps, but i get the warning "missing component: 4" and only the commands for header.cap and directory.cap are created. after adding the usual opening, closing and processing commands to the file, i get the 0x6425 error when trying to create the class. when removing the commands for these caps and running it in the simulator (jcwde) it works fine, it accomplishes the necessary input and output functions. anyone knows how i can handle this problem, either by having the script edited manually or having the scriptgen work correctly to produce the file i need. here is my edited scriptgen with missing cap commands:

  • Having problems downloading itunes 10.5.2; box states windows installer issue. I have a 2005 with windows XP and service pack 2. Any ideas?

    Just bought a new ipod touch for my daughter.  It won't sync without itunes 10.5.2 loaded on our computer (a 2005 HP with Windows XP and service pack 2.)  When I've tried to load 10.5.2, I get an error message box stating there is a problem with my Windows installer.  I've tried loading the windows installer hot fix KB942288-v3-x86, but it didn't help.  Any suggestion?

    Hi Lorheak,
    thanks for the quick reply. I had the same idea already yesterday. I use Norton Internet Security for a long time now without any problems. I think this a Apple or Microsoft problem, because the popup window which appear come from Windows DEP. I got no message from the firewall with any problem. I check the log files from Norton and Windows already but find nothing. This is a very strange problem. In the past I have had a lot of other problems with iTunes upgrades. Everytime I accept the installation of the newest version I got errors regarding missing "msi" files.
    Greetings Gert

  • Problem with iTunes installation - Error Message when trying to use

    I intalled iTunes on my Dell Laptop. The icon is on my Desktop, but when I try to start it, I get the following error message;
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Then the error message wants me to send some message to microsoft?

    You can't do that.  Instead, just remove "aaa new-model" from the config then try to deploy it.  Alternatively, you can try "merge mode," but that will send the whole config back to the device.

  • Missing component to access (read) a PDF file Adobe reader 8

    When I try to open a PDF file it says there are some missing components to complete the operation and it sends me to the Adobe Web page (Adobe Acrobat plug in Finder) I already asked to the author of the file and followed his installation instructions but the problem remains. If I try to open it in some other computer the error message specifies the component filter/MBAS:ash is missing.

    I am getting the same message, "Filter/MBAS:Ash:", that you posted on Adobeforums.com. Did you find out where to get the missing component? If so, I would appreciate your help.

  • "Missing component" messages in the installation logs

    I installed Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 on Windows, and I found some strange entries in the installActionsxxxxx.log files:
    "# Not all the dependencies for the component Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.3.0.0 could be found. Missing component oracle.bc4j 10.1.2.0.0.
    # Not all the dependencies for the component Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.3.0.0 could be found. Missing component oracle.bc4j.oem 10.1.2.0.0.
    # Not all the dependencies for the component Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.3.0.0 could be found. Missing component oracle.soap.srv 2.2.0.0.2a.
    # Not all the dependencies for the component Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.3.0.0 could be found. Missing component oracle.apache.ojsp 10.1.2.0.0.
    # Not all the dependencies for the component Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.3.0.0 could be found. Missing component oracle.apache.ejb 9.0.1.0.1."...
    This goes on for several pages. I still had the Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 installation packages on my computer, and I found out that several of the missing packages actually belong to 10.1.2, and several of them are earlier than 10.1.2.
    My questions: is it a problem at all that these components are missing, or shall I ignore these log entries? If this is a problem, how to fix it?
    Best Regards,
    Gabor

    Hi Gabor,
    You can ignor these log entries. (There is a bug logged. The installer team is looking for a good way to surpress these messages.)
