Apple applications slow or not working

When I booted up safari today my homepage wouldn't load at all. I thought it was the wifi so I tried another website which took quite some time, but eventually loaded. Every page has been the same, but once it's up it works fine. Anything I've typed into a search engine has worked right away and I've streamed videos on YouTube fine.
I went to download an album from the iTunes store and it won't connect at all. I tried the mac app store and I have to the problem. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Oh, and the applications folder seems to be taking its time too. The Internet is working fine on every other device I have tried it on, so I don't know what it could be.

When I booted up safari today my homepage wouldn't load at all.

    Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1.  Apple Application Support was not found.  Error 2.  Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work.  Is there a fix?

    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.)

    When I try to launch itunes I get an error mesage saying that Apple application support was not found and suggests that I uninstall and re-install it, but that doesn't work

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    Start with the section Install missing components which should address your particular error. Otherwise 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.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • 1415 fnw printer wireless connection extremely slow or not working with OS X, works with windows

    The wireless connection to the printer is either extremely slow or not working at all on OS X Yosemite.  It shows up in the list of printers in Bonjour in Safari, and I can connect to parts of the web interface if I wait a very long time.  However, I cannot add the printer as a new printer in System Preferences even though the printer shows up.
    I have upgraded to the latest firmware.  The WiFi indicator on the printer is on, "green", and it has a reserved IP showing up in my router (ComCast).  It seems that Windows machines can printer to the printer wirelessly without a problem.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hello @sscotti,
    I would like to assist you today with installing your wireless HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer on your Mac OS X 10.10 Computer. Now you indicate in your post that this printer works fine with Windows computers, and you are able to 'see' the Bonjour printer on your Mac. Therefore, the issue that you are experiencing is not network related. Rather, I do believe that you are experiencing a driver conflict on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer. Can I please have you run the steps below to resolve this issue.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
    First, I'm going to have you 'clean up' your Mac OS X 10.10 computer to verify that any trace of your Laserjet printer is gone so we have a nice clean slate to work with. Please click here and when the website opens select the drop down for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' as the steps are the same for Mac OS X 10.10. Run the appropriate uninstall steps for the method in which you originally tried to install your printer: Apple Updates, or the HP Driver download.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    Go to the Utilities Folder
    Open the Disk Utility
    Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
    Select Verify Disk Permissions
    Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
    Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
    Go to Apple
    Select System Preferences
    Select Software Update
    Click Update Now
    Install your available updates
    Restart your computer
    Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
    Please click here to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.10 drivers for your HP Laserjet printer. 
    Once the website opens select the 'download' button on the top left
    Once the download has completed, please follow the onscreen steps to reinstall your printer.
    Once the reinstall is complete, test the print and scan functions to ensure that your printer is functioning as per normal.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should you still be experiencing issues there are additional steps I can have you run through. I look forward to hearing from you. Good luck!

  • The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes

    The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • I tried updating to itunes 10.5 and now when i try to open itunes i get a message saying "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2)

    Ok so I went to update my itunes 9 to itunes 10.5 and now I get and error message "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2) when ever I try to run itunes and iv been trying to fix this for like a month and let me tell you iTunes for windows is **** and I really want Icloud for my iphone 4 and yes iv tried uninstalling everything by apple in the correct order and reinstalling them after restart atleast honestly 20 - 30 times but nothing worked so if anyone can please help me I have windows 7 and a hp intel pentium computer 

    Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

  • After i upload it, it says "Apple Application Support was not found"

    So the iTunes with all my songs, is on my old computer and to share it throughout the house to my new computer i need to download iTunes 9, which I did, and it said it was successful. But then when i tried to open iTunes, it says "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes, please uninstall iTunes then install iTunes again" Well this is the third time I've tried, I downloaded the older version and it said my library had been created on a newer version. I have no idea what to do. Oh and I can't get my disk drive to work so I can't do a disk back-up.

    Hi, decent.devil.
    I would recommend uninstalling iTunes, all of it's components and reinstall.  Below, I have included an article that covers this process.  Make sure to uninstall all programs in the order specified.

  • Please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"

    Can anyone please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"
    I've followed the instructions by removing all Apple files from my laptop, but when I reinstall the iTunes software it still comes up with this message:
    "Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2"
    Thank you

    iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
    I know this is a bit late but I came accross this thread trying to resolve this same problem and came up with a solution that worked for me, so thought I would share it here too. I hope it helps someone else.
    I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
    Problems:
    The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
    The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
    This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
    Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’.

    Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
    Solution:
    Through this error I found this MSKB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
    The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
    Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
    I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\
    PendingXmlIdentifier
    NextQueueEntryIndex

    Reboot and reinstall iTunes.

  • TS5376 Have new dell xps system and cannot install I tunes: "Apple Application Support was not found"...Error 2 (Windows error 2)....any ideas??

    I am having tremendous difficulty installing I Tunes onto my new Dell XPS (Windows 8). First it downloaded but my library wasn't there and it would not recognize my ipod.
    Then I uninstalled it and now it won't reinstall saying:
    Apple Application Support was not found.
    Apple applicationSupport is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
    Error 2 (Windows error 2)
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times.......not working.
    Any ideas??

    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/download.htm

  • Error after install iTunes setup: Apple application Support was not found

    Hello,
    I am trying to install iTunes on my pc. During the downloading of iTunes setup.exe i get this error:
    Something went wrong during the installation of this item. Microsoft. VC80.CRT, type="win32", version="8.0.5072.7.6195", publicKeyToken="lfrc8b3b9a1e18e3b",process or Architecture=x86"
    I choose 'ok' and the download continues. When the download is complete and i try to open the iTunes setup its given the error saying:
    Apple Application Support was not found
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes then install iTunes again.
    I tried this more than once, but its not working. I also tried to extract the iTunes setup.exe with winrar and then to do an install with appleapplicationsupport.msi, but its given the same error.
    Anyone please has some advice?
    Thanks in advance!
    Marieke

    When I look at my control panel the only program that shows is "I Tunes".  No other supporting programs are showing up in the control panel nor the Common Files nor in the Program Files (x86).
    That's an extreme case of this.
    We'll try doing standalone installations of all the supporting programs.
    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 suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    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.
    Doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install.
    Doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone Apple Software Update install.
    Doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.
    Do those four installs go through okay? If so, does your iTunes launch without any errors now?

  • Apple Application Supprt was not found.

    I tried downloading the new version of iTunes today, and everytime it installs it says (in exact text):
    "Apple Application Support was not found.
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTumes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
    Error 2."
    So I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least 6 or 7 times today, however nothing I have done works. I was trying some troubleshooting tips from the Apple website and those didn't work either.
    I'm fustrated cause I want my music back.
    Can anyone help?

    Many thanks.
    when i got into the Uninstall a program in the control panel there is a "Apple Software Update"
    That's a different package ... so it sounds like the earlier version of Apple Application got uninstalled when you did your iTunes upgrade, but the new version of Apple Application Support is refusing to install with your iTunes.
    Sometimes when that happens, we can get past the problem by doing a "standalone" Apple Application Support install. If we can get that to install, then we can try another iTunes install.
    First, head back into Uninstall a Program. Uninstall iTunes again.
    Now let's launch Apple Software Update: "Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update. *Don't install anything just yet.*
    In Apple Software Update, go "Tools > Open Downloaded Updates folder". Delete any files that are currently in the Downloaded Updates folder.
    Go back into your Apple Software Update main screen. Select iTunes and go "Tools > Download Only".
    After the downloads have completed, go back into your Downloaded updates folder. Doubleclick on the AppleApplicationSupport.msi file. That should start a "standalone" Apple Application Support install.
    If the Apple Application Support install fails, let us know what the error message says. (Precise text, please.)
    If the Apple Application Support install goes through properly, try another iTunes install. Then try launching iTunes. Does it open without the error message this time?
