Uninstall and reinstall 64 bit version

Ever since I have updated to 10 I keep getting an error messasge saying
This Ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the Itunes installer to remove Itunes, then install the 64-bit version of itunes.
I have done this several times. Have also restarted my ipod touch. Followed every kind of instruction because Itunes will also not detect my Ipod. It is listed on my computer but not in Itunes. Please help!

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
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 AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I want my old iTunes back, I am sick of uninstalling and reinstalling this new version.  I just need my apps for my new iPhone6

    how can I just get my old itunes back.  I am not going to continue uninstalling and reinstalling the new version.  I had it on my computer, and for some reason it crashed and I started this commotion.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the help of Fix It and advice from many people.  Every time I get a new error.  Sick to death of it.  I only need it to sync my apps to my phone and to use iCloud. 
    If anyone can get me back to some other version that I can use, I would really appreciate it.
    I have Windows 7 on my PC

    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described inEmpty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)
    If you have trouble uninstalling or reinstalling see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. The same tip should help you get iTunes 12 installed properly if you want to give it a try.

    First, for the forum view issue. Go to My Settings (on the right) and in General Settings change the Topic Page View to Flat. Click Save. Posts should show up in the order they were written.
    Have you seen this?

    Also, since you said that you've gone through the 5 Rs, I would assume that you used the iPod Updater to restore (since there is no other way of doing it and you don't "run" the 5 Rs).
    When you restored, did you use the latest updater?
    You may also want to try formatting the iPod through Windows. Connect it to the computer and when it appears in My Computer right click it and go to format. Does anything happen? Can you format the iPod through Windows?

    I have tried 8 to 10 times to uninstall and reinstall Firefox 4. I have since checked my firewall settings and firefox is allowed. It simply just will not open for me. I previously have had firefox and it was simply an update from the 3.6 version. I have websites i need to used saved under my bookmarks and cannot access them in internet explorer

  • I cannot access firefox because it says it is already running. It is asking me to close the program that is running I cannot find where it is. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. It did not correct the problem

    when I click the firefox link a window pops up saying a the program is already running and I must close that program in order to run a current one. I went through task manager and then completly uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the newest version. This did not help.

    Here is how I fixed the problem.
    Uninstall Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, iTunes, and Quicktime. Basically any Apple software.
    Download and re-install itunes, it will install all of the above.
    Open iTunes. It now runs correctly.
    I was having the same problem until I did this, and it fixed the problem right away.
    Sit back and enjoy music.

  • Any websites requiring security, electric company, banking, etc. are not working with 3.6.12. Tried to uninstall and reinstall an older version but they are still not working.

    I updated to the latest firefox about 3 weeks ago. I run version 3.6.12 on a Vista 32 Home Edition.
    I have not had this problem before but when I try to access my banking, pay my electric bill, purchase from different websites, pay my isp company, anything with security - most pages are having errors. My banking says I was logged out do to inactivity but I just signed on, other secure pages either say error or keep me in an infinite loop of answering the same pages over and over and cannot move forward.

    The crash still happens when xf86-video-intel is downgraded. It also happens when the package is removed.

    Seems as if you are using glamor according to your X log. Have you perchance tested with UXA?
    I have had issues with SNA in the recent driver, but seems that switching to UXA and ditching all other options is a temporary workaround for me. Sadly this breaks VSync and introduces some tear, but I got rid of other nasties such as lock-ups and flickering.
    For extra info, we have different chips you and I, but it might be a common error.
    The problem is with the tty display crashing before I even get a chance to invoke X. I'll give UXA a go but I think the problem is in the i915 module of the kernel itself.

  • Can i uninstall and reinstall itunes w/out losing my library?

    If so how? For some reason my itunes will no longer sync with my ipod.

    I think if you are just uninstalling and reinstalling the same version of itunes, and you don't already have a problem with your library, it should be fine - however, you should copy your existing library file. The actual library file is called 'iTunes Library.itl' in your itunes folder; you should copy it to another folder just in case. Also check in iTunes help for 'saving playlists,' which might be another good thing to copy and put in a different folder just in case.
    My recent experience was that I went from 7.4.2.4 to 7.3.2.6 and couldn't use my library file because it had been changed by 7.4 so it wouldn't work with 7.3. So I couldn't open itunes until I deleted the library file, which meant I had to reimport all my music and lost my playlists. It's been a big bummer, but I couldn't access the itunes store at all with the newest version and everything I tried didn't work, and I wanted to download and watch my daily shows!
    I don't know if this really answers your question - I think if you are getting an error message you should try to find out why, because it seems like some people are having problems even after they reinstall.

  • In IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled

    in IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Weirdly, the sound still works

    Just to update: Before posting, I tried everything I could find on Flash Player Help | Installation problems | Windows and nothing worked. The flash player stopped working in early November. I know it is some setting somewhere that I need to fix, but I just can't find it. I get a message that "adobe flash player 10 required" but, oddly, I still get sound.

  • Garbage is being attached to emails. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it was fine, got an update and gargabe is back?

    I am sorry to confuse you. The initial problem started when I was reading documents and Adobe Flash kept crashing. I contacted school support and they said it was a firefox issue not a school website issue. So I went to the Firefox help section and figured out how to uninstall and install the lower version of Flash. This made Firefox not work properly more so. SO I tried to fix flash, Uninstalled and reinstalled the newer version. Made Firefox almost unusable. I could not get my favorites to load. It would not let me type addresses in the address bar. So I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. It has not worked properly since. The only way I can get it to partially work is to open it in safe mode. I have gone to the MS website and ran malware screeners and Microsoft is not comeing up with anything. This issue is not affecting any other software on my computer...just firefox.
    Attached was the original crash report I sent to the school. The second doc is the application info right after I reinstalled it, and was in safe mode.

  • FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow.

    FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow and never finishes loading ANY page.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
