Cannot uninstall iTunes, and cannot install newer version:  Help!!

For some reason, it is not listed in my Add/Remove programs section and I can't find any kind of UNinstaller for iTunes anywhere.
I d/l the newest version and when it gets to the end of the installation it gives me "Error 1306: cannot find C:Windows/Installer/iTunes...." something....but there is no such folder in C:Windows!!!
Hellllllp!!!
I can't even UNintsall the old version!!
What the heck am I doing wrong, and WHY doesn't it show up in my Add/Remove section???
Thanks in advance!

ok I'm good to go.
I had to uninstall QT first, used the Windows Installer clean up (found in another post) and used it to remove the iTunes installer left in the system.
After uninstalling QT and using the Installer clean up, I then used the iTunes newer version to update and all is well. It even shows up in my Add/Remove programs now!
PHEW! Panic attack.
:P
You can delete this thread if you like, Mods. My problem is cleared now.

  • My Iphone version 4.1 and I update it from iTunes but it wasn't be succesfully it gives me problem 1015. And I reinstall my iTunes and I install new version of iTunes. But My Pc can't find Iphone. It gives me problem "Apple Rectore Device" driver.Help me

    Please Help me!!!!!!

    If you're getting "error 1015", it means your phone was previously hacked to downgrade the iOS or jailbreak and the modem baseband was altered.  You can NEVER update or restore it to a stock iOS again. 
    Search Google for alternative solutions to error 1015, but they all will leave the phone in a hacked, unstable state.  (Hint: it will take more than DFU mode.)

    Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

    I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

    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.)

  • Firefox crashes upon opening, despite having tried all help suggestions and re-installing new version.

    I have a MAC: 2006, but intel Core Duo; version 10.4.11
    I have had some difficulties with my Firefox recently: crashing occasionally, not always loading a page on the first try, saved e-mails or passwords working off and on. I trashed my current version of Firefox (I was told by my tech guys to uninstall it and download a new version, but I couldn't find an uninstall package for mozilla, so I dragged it to the Trash) and I uninstalled flip4MAC, too. I tried to download version 4, but my system could not run it, so I downloaded 3. 16. 12 - it worked really great for a while, but then started to revert to its old problems and my tech guys said I might not have done a complete uninstall- I am a bit of a techno-peasant, so I may have not done it properly. In the meantime, I upgraded my Internet service with Bell and was going to download Snow Leopard- I have Tiger- to see if that helped, but after the upgrade, Mozilla won't even open at all; the window comes up with a tab that says "restore session" and it freezes immediately and then closes with a crash report and an icon in the apps bar called "Crash Reporter." I have copied the incident report and am including it with this email. Bell tech support says it is not their issue, it's mine, which I think is probably correct, but why did it completely crash after the upgrade?
    I did go on Mozilla Firefox's website for support through Safari, and tried all the suggestions, but Safari's Mozilla Firefox only displays the search bar and not the address bar, so I used the tip to got ''library/,'' etc to get the crash i.d. I was able to get the i.d., but when I typed in the url with my crash id, I got an error message: File not Found. I tried it more than once, so I copied it from one of the reports sent to you guys and I only hope that you are able to use the crash info I submitted below (after Trouble shooting info).

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

    When I try to back up my Iphone, I get a message that My Iphone can not be backed up on my computer.  My computer is authorized and I have been successful with this in the past. I uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled the lastest version and the same problem occurs.

    If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine. 
    You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups.  The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more.  The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine. 
    (My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

    Hello there, cgssurveyingllc.
    Uninstalling iTunes can be tricky, but  following Knowledge Base articles should provide assistance in uninstalling the iTunes Application depending on your Windows version:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    If you still have issues with uninstalling using control panel there are additional detailed steps that should help with manually removing the content.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Cannot install new versions of itunes needs installer\msi file

    Hi
    For some time I have not been able to update itunes as it cannot find the file in windows\installer\msi
    Why can't I just be able to down load a new version without it looking for this file?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Hmmm.
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
    Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
    Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.
