Difficulty dowloading Itunes - HELP!

I've been unsuccessfully attempting to download itunes for the past few days after i accidentally uninstalled it. However, anytime that I try to complete the download, a box shows up saying, "Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\OutlookSyncClientHelper.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory."
When I follow that address and click on the "bin" file, it says that "file or is corrupt and unreadable"
Can somebody possibly aid me?

I also have Windows 7 and after downloading the latest itunes cannot access the itunes help although I can view the tutorials etc. I am also getting the same message regarding the server. Cannot find any other link to this problem in the support community.

Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7. It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified

Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7. It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified.I
I have tried unistalling the current version I had which was 10.6.3, defragging and running a security scan. Now, the highest version I can get is 10.4.1. for some reason I cannot dowload itunes 10.5 or higher as it gives me the same message which is what I need to connect and update my iphone. Anyone facing the same issue or can point me in the right direction?

You may get better information on that error message by reposting in the iPhone forums:

It's also possible that newer iPhone updates want an OS higher than Tiger. Post the specs of your computer and we can see if an OS upgrade is possible. There are a large number of G4 variants with different capabilities, so giving us something more than just "G4" will get you help faster.

I am trying to download itunes but I keep getting the message that apple application support was not found and that I need it for itunes helper. It tells me to uninstall then reinstall but that does nothing. How can I get itunes to work?

I need to downlad iTunes for my iPod Touch to work, but I can't dowload iTunes without apple application support. How can I get apple application support or is there any other way to download iTunes?

Lost iPhone,having difficulty accessing iTunes account

Lost iPhone,having difficulty accessing iTunes account

The top 3 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
2) The culprit is Norton. Go to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.)
3) Close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those files with the default settings. You can change them back later.

Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
Please someone help ...
Thanks.

Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

I want to transfer a movie I have downloaded from itunes to my new IPAD. I have been on the itunes help menu, it tells me to look under 'devices' tab for IPAD. BUT there is no 'devices' tab and it does not list my new IPAD. Help!

I want to transfer a movie I have bought in itunes to my new IPAD. I have been trying to work how to do this for 3 days now. I have accessed all the itunes help and forums and wiki online. They all tell me to go to the DEVICES tab on itunes and select IPAD then sync. YUP seem simple, BUT there is not DEVICES tab listed on my itunes and it does not list IPAD. Years ago I set up my IPOD no problem and that is listed, but not the new IPAD. Can anyone help? I would love to be able to actually watch films on my IPAD!! thanks

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I can access and use the store just fine - but when I try to open iTunes HELP, I just get a blank/white Help box. Any thoughts or ideas? Dee

Not sure if I have to repeat question, but I cannot access the iTunes HELP from the Store on my PC (Dell laptop/Windows 7) - opens the box, but it remains blank/white, never fills in with HELP information. Any thoughts? dee

I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

I am trying to install itunes after downloading Windows 8.1. I get an Windows Error 2 message-- "Apple Application Support is required to run itunes helper." Any suggestions?

I am trying to install itunes (64 bit) after downloading Windows 8.1 on my HP Laptop. I keep getting an error message Windows Error 2--"Apple App;ication Support is required to run itunes helper" Does anyone have any simple suggestions for a user with limited knowledge of Computers?

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 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.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Cant finish installing iTunes 10.6 to windows 7, keep getting error message 7, unable to download iTunes help. Ideas?

I started with the "cannot locate network file .msi" msg. I bought perfect uninstall to remove all traces of apple software from computer, it was able to remove the so called defective file. For 3 hours I tried to reload 10.6 and got a new error code 7, unable to install iTunes help, and I still can't get it or the old versions of iTunes back on my computer. I have since removed the software again and defragmented the drive with no success. Seems like a lot of people are having similar issues. I am very frustrated. I was so happy with apple products till now, so disappointed they would release such faulty software! Any ideas?

Repair your Apple Application Support.
Restart Computer, go to Control Panel/Program and Features/highlight AAS and click REPAIR button.

Itunes help is not working in 10.5.

Recently I updated to itunes 10.5.
When I click on "itunes help" it opens a window that reads:
Not Found
The requested URL /itunes/win/10.5/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (Oracle) Server at help.apple.com Port 80
Anybody else having this problem? Would like to fix it without reinstalling the whole application.

This may be considered a valuable clue and in my mind points to being a bug in the mail tool itself. I noticed that in my case there was special formatting in the email I was composing. I had started lines with bold texted characters then tabbed over to write text in default format. Above the format changes I was getting the word wrap I would expect. Below the special characters I was getting the anomalous behavior of words being split by wrap.

Why do I see: iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn't connected to the Internet. IE9 works fine but iTunes does not connect to the store.

I have tried 4 days to get iTunes 10.4 working on my Win7 x64 machine. I purchased a new iPhone4 and after syncing it the first time, I can't connect to the iTunes store.
When I try to run iTunes Help, I get this message "iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet." However IE9 and Google Chrome run as always...... no connection problems.
I have already uninstalled IE9 x64 and iTunes 10.4 x64 and reinstalled but still the same. I followed all the instructions I could find about firewalls, ports, SSL etc.

How do I consolidate a song into an album, each purchased separately, in my iTunes library? iMac OSX 10.8.5. iTunes Help has been no help.

How do I consolidate a song into an album, each purchased separately, in my iTunes library? iMac OS X 10.8.5. iTunes Help has been no help.

However, my troubleshooting issue is that I also want the songs in my concert playlists to go in order of how they were performed at the concerts.
Give them a track number.
Each time I number them within the playlists the song's number also changes within the Library Music list.
And? I'm not seeing the problem.
However, I can not figure out how to make true copy. I've already tried dragging the song to my desktop, then dragging the new copy back into iTunes. I've even tried renaming the duplicate copy and dragging it into iTunes. Why won't my iTunes make an individual duplicate copy of a song?
How do you have iTunes manage your music? If you drag a song to the desktop it may just be moving the file to the desktop.
Command+R to reveal the file in Finder. Command+D to duplicate the file in Finder. Drag the duplicate to iTunes to add the second copy. Not that I totally understand where the issues lie and feel this is likely not the best remedy...
