Error msg to reinstall iTunes every time I sync

Recently I had a new DVD installed. Now every time I sync I get the error msg at start up that says the drivers may not be recognized if I have replaced the CD/DVD. It says reinstall iTunes, which I have done now a total of four times. I have uninstalled the program prior to reinstalling the most recent. But to no avail...
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the exact same problem as you. I have tried everything that is listed under the support topics on the apple website and the only thing that works is re-installing iTunes.
I used to have the iphone 3G and was connecting to my mac book air. I then changed to an iphone 4 and set that up initially on my mac book air and now I have an imac and am trying to sync my ihpone 4 to that. I did set up my imac by using the back up from my air... could that be the problem?
When I connect it to the imac (with or without the dock) the iphoto app is brought up and asks me if I want to sync the picture on the phone with the computer. I close that and manually open itunes but the phone does not appear on the list. I have to re-install itunes and then it appears.
If anyone knows of what might be preventing itunes from recognising my phone, please do let me know.
If I have not given enough information to diagnose the problem then I apologise and please let em know what is required.
Thank you

  • Having to reinstall itunes every time I want to recharge iphone via mac

    Can anybody relate to the following problem I've experienced twice in a space of 24hrs with a brand new 32GB 3GS iPhone, barely 2 weeks old.
    I charge my phone usually via a USB 2.0 cable into the back of my Intel imac. The phone vibrates and charging appears to take place as normal.
    However, in the last day or so, every time I insert the iPhone charging cable, the whole thing appears dead, the phone doesn't vibrate, it's not showing up in itunes anymore and no battery charging on the phone seems to take place.
    I changed ports on my USB hub and within the mac etc. still nothing, then I reinstalled itunes again and the iPhone suddenly came to life again.
    I've now had to reinstall itunes at least twice to get mac to recognise the iPhone again. I'm using itunes 8.2.1 at present.
    Has anyone else recently experienced this problem?

    Are you connecting your iPhone to a USB hub, or direct to a USB port on your Mac?
    The former is not recommended.

  • I have to reinstall iTunes every time I connect my iPod

    This has never happened to me before, but now my iTunes won't recognize my iPod Touch 2nd gen. I'm currently using Windows 7 64-bit. When I check the connected devices, "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" shows up under "Unspecified". I used the Apple-provided troubleshooter and checked if the driver is installed, which it is. All the appropriate services are set to start at my computer's boot and all are running. The last solution was to completely re-install iTunes, which I've done, and my iPod shows up in iTunes. The bad part, after I reboot my computer, the problem returns. It'll be a hassle to keep my computer on all the way and to reinstall every time I boot my computer. Any suggestions?

    Refer to this article to restart AMDS.

  • Getting error msg when reinstalling itunes - re compatibility

    with MS office Xp - saying that itunes has not passed windows logo testing to verifiy it's compatibility.
    Then if you ignore those and intall anyway, it now won't recognise my iphone. I already had to take the phone to a genius bar to get it restored after the os4 download killed it - now I can't put anything back on it.
    Please help!

    There's something corrupt in your Windows XP. iTunes is certified for XP, Vista and Windows 7. Are you installing it using an account with administrator privileges? This is essential. It's also possible that Microsoft's Genuine Advantage doesn't recognize your Windows installation as being "official" (not pirated).

  • TS1538 Is there a fix for this? How can I get it to where my device will show up in itunes without having to reinstall itunes every single time?

    To get my Iphone 4 to show up in iTunes, I have to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it EVERY single time I want to connect my device to iTunes. I've tried just using a wi-fi connection and that won't work. It's very annoying to have to go through all that trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes every time that I need to connect to my iTunes account. I first got this phone in Germany when I was visiting my uncle who was stationed there, he had got the phone from AT&T here in the U.S. while in Germany connecting to his computer to itunes was no problem, it'd connect without any issues. Then when I came home back to the states, my phone would no longer connect to itunes on my computer unless I unistalled and reinstalled, but my computer does recognize my device when I connect every time just itunes does not and I don't understand why it's doing that. Is there any way to fix this? How can I get my device to show up in itunes without having to reinstall it every time?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • Need to Reinstall iTunes every day

    I buy a lot of TV episodes on iTunes. However, every time I try to play one, if it's the first time I've played an episode that day (I shut down at night), the video screen pauses for a moment, turns green, and then displays an error stating that the application needs to close. I need to completely uninstall, and reinstall iTunes to get it to work. But then I turn off my computer for the night, and the next day it's the same thing. Needless to say, I'm getting tired of it.
    I have re-downloaded the installer, and I have disabled anti-virus software, neither of which did any good. No other programs have any problems whatsoever, so it's not hardware related.
    Has anyone encountered a problem like this in the past? Does anyone know what could be causing it?
    I'm using Windows Vista x64. (I've tried both the 32- and 64-bit versions of iTunes.)

    I never had problems with iTunes before installing the Windows Explorer 8.
    Afterwards, several problems have appeared, and as far as iTunes is concerned I need to reinstall iTunes every times my computer is newly booted up.
    I think Explorer 8 is the culpritt.
    Did anyone solve this problem ?

    Hello, KenaiK9.

  • I recently tried to update iTunes to 11.1, and am now getting an error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.d11 was not found."  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times.  Am running Windows XP Svc Pack 3.  help

    I recently tried to update iTunes to 11.1, and am now getting an error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times with no success.  I am running Windows XP Svc Pack 3.  Help please.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • When I got the error message, "msvcr80.dll" and it said to uninstall iTunes and all other apple products I did that. I've reinstalled iTunes several times and I continue to get the message, "apple application support not found". This isn't working. Help.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and each time it says to re-install iTunes but it doesn't solve the problem. I've been trying to get this to work all day and I'm extremely frustrated. Someone please help me with this. I've done all the reserach on how to fix this and nothing has worked. I just get the same message over and over again.

    When I go do download iTunes I get a screen that says, "The feature you are tyring to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." Then is says "Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes64.msi in the box below". I click "OK" and it says that the path cannot be found. Don't know what do to here.
    Sounds like at least two different things are happening to you at once here.
    Steps for dealing with the "network resource" message, follow:
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes numerous times and keep getting the message it reinstalled incorrectly stating windows Error 127.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes numerous times and keep getting the message it reinstalled incorrectly stating windows Error 127.  I am using windows 7

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    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.
    You may have more success if you use the advice in the Install missing components section to break down the installer into its component .msi files and install these in alphabetical order.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
    The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting  GEAR drive is from:
