    HELP"   error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

    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 so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    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.

  • Tried to reinstall itunes and got apple application support not found. i have a folder on my desktop of apps removed during a refresh and all my apple stuff is in that folder.

    Im running windows 8 on my desktop. i tried to reinstall itunes and when i open it i get the following message " Apple Application Support not found, Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes". I have a folder on my desktop that has files in it that says Apps removed during refresh and  there is Apple files in there. Im guessing this could be a windows issue but Im not to good with computers. Any help would be great.

    Hello agerveler,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like we may need to do a complete removal of iTunes and its components, followed by a reinstall.  Follow the instructions in the following article to resolve your issue:

  • Apple Application Support not found - any soloutions?

I have recently installed itunes 10.5, however when i try to get back into itunes it says "apple application support not found" and that i have to uninstall itunes and reinstall to make it work. I tried to do this but it said it couldn't do this. Does anyone have any ideas on how i ca retrieve my itunes on my pc?  Thanks

    Hi all
    I had the same problem and was able to solve it, kindly follow the below steps;
    Download the installation file iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunesSetup64.exe if you are on a 64-bit system) from apple
    Extract or unzip the iTunesSetup.exe
    Open the folder iTunesSetup (or iTunesSetup64) created in the previous step
    Double-click the file AppleApplicationSupport.msi
    (or AppleApplicationSupport64.msi if you have a 64-bit system)
    Choose
    "Repair" if you are prompted (if you are not prompted that's fine, too)
    Your iTunes installation should work now.
    Regards,
    Rami

  • Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found

    Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found.  What is the fix for this?

    It is always these four updates that fail.  I've tried downloading and installing them seperately from apple downloads.  I've tried various recommended fixes, and nothing I can figure out works.  Before these problems, itunes worked on the computer for a year.
    Thank you again for wanting to help me.

  • I did the recommended re-install to resolve the missing MSVCR80.dll file. This worked, but I am now stymied by two error messages: "Apple Mobile Device failed to start" and "Apple application support not found". How to overcome?

    That worked, however I now get two error messages when I install I Tunes:
    o  Apple Mobile Device failed to start.
    o  Apple Application Support not found.
    This were of course deleted in the recommended re-install procedure to resolve the dll file, but repeated uninstalls and installs simply bring up these two error messages with a recommendation to install I Tune again. Installing the new I Tunes version seems to be problematic per the discussion groups and has no simple solution. SHould not the Genius bar be able to resolve this at an Apple Store? Want to buy a new I Phone 5S, but this problem effectively stymies this.

  • Apple Application Support Not Found (Error 2)

    I just got a new iPad and was told to install iTunes on my PC to get started. I tried installing the lastest version of iTunes and at the end of the installation process I get 2 pop ups saying "Apple Application Support Not Found" I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 4 times now with the same problem. What do I need to do to successfully install iTunes and is there any way to use my iPad without connecting to a PC first? Please help, I would really like to use my graduation present!

    Many thanks.
    Okay. We'll try a "standalone" installation of Apple Application Support, then. (It still may not install, but at least we'll have a better idea of what the problem is, based on any error messages we might get.)
    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/
    Use WinRAR to expand the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunes64Setup.exe into a folder.
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us no what it says. (Precise text, please.)
