Failed install now won't ever install properly

I attempted to install Firefox before, but the network security settings at the time never let me complete that install - it got stopped at the point where it had to reboot to finish.
Now it is caught in an endless loop of wanting to restart Windows all the time, but never completes. The security settings were changed to allow me to install, but now when I download and restart the download, or even when I go to the programs menu and attempt to UNINSTALL the program, it just goes back to the damn popup about needing to restart to complete the original install!!! How in the hell do I get rid of the old one? The folder was deleted from the PROGRAM FILES, but STILL gives me this crap!

Not really solved, but I figured out a work-around. I went to "custom" and installed it to a folder on my desktop, then moved it to my program files. However, I still have the rebooting link in my Start menu, and I can't uninstall the new one even -- goes back to the same garbage as above!
There is obviously some remnant of the old, failed install in the system that is screwing with things, but I don't know where/what!

  • Installing update to iTunes failed. Now won't run.

    I just tried to install a newer update to iTunes and received this error message. "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114). I also get the following error: "Runtime Error! Program C:/Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes exe  R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
    Trying to reinstall just results in same error messages. This is on a PC running Windows 7.
    Any suggestions on what I need to do to fix this? 
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    I'm getting the same error after doing a recent iTunes update (yesterday).  I'm also running WIndows 7.  Per suggestion from an earlier post I uninstalled iTunes and tried to reinstall but that also failed - I'm getting the message "Apple Mobile Device failed to start - Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services".  I tried both ignoring & retry.  Neither works.  Now I have no iTunes at all. 
    Whats going on here ?

    So now what? Please advise.

    Yes, I know King-Penguin....I'm just so frustrated and in a panic, that I was hoping the itunes geeks that sent out this falilure of an update would still see it, and feel bad. And maybe even send out a quick link fix it botton. Guess that's just a newbie way of thinking!

  • Updated Xperia Z on Pc companion, failed and now won't open! PLEASE HELP!

    I flashed my phone months ago but now I just wanted to upgrade it to Lollipop or what ever is the latest update for my phone but the problem was during update, the PC companion suddenly stopped. Said it had errors, and would not go any further so I removed my phone from being connected to the PC and now it won't open.  How can I make it work again? or at least can I still get the data inside? Please help this is a very heart breaking event. Important memories are inside my phone

    Hi,
    If I understand you correctly, the phone won't even power on now? No reaction while you hold the ON/OFF button? If that's the case, you will unfortunately not be able to backup any data.
    With PC Companion you can perform a software repair. In PC Companion you press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phone/tablet software > Repair phone/tablet (the blue clickable link in the message) > Follow these steps without having your device connected to the PC.
    Follow the instruction that appears in the program and do not connect your device until this guide tells you how to connect it.

    An update was downloaded and failed to install properly. When I tried to use the old Itunes, I get the message "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer".

  • Song did not install properly and now won't play

    I pre-ordered an album, and when it came round to installing it, I was in an area with a weak internet connection. At one point during installation, the internet signal temporarily cut out, causing the song to not install properly. I have a few seconds at the beginning of the song that has the audio in it, but after that the song stops and does not play any more. I need to know if there is a way to reinstall the song, or redeem it some other way. I have tried to create an AAC version of the song, but an 'unknown error (-3)' message appears. Is there any way I could reinstall that one song?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music (or if it re-downloads with the same problem) then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs.  It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • I have tried to update my itunes program. It was running great until I attempted the update now all I get is an error message that says "Itunes was not installed properly, Please reinstall itunes, Error 7 (Windows erroe 126)". What can I do to get my it

    I tried updating my itune program. Now all I get is the following message "Itunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). WHAT can I do to get back to where my itunes program is running again?
    I have uninstalled the proram and tried reinstalling and get the same error message. The other error message I get is "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".  I have tried that twice with no luck. Can someone help me get my music back???

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • The latest update for iTunes 11.1.3, iBooks 1.0.1, Mail 1.0 won't update/install properly.

    I recently installed Mavericks. The latest update for iTunes, iBooks and Mail do not install properly. I have tried updating individually and the Appstore indicates that they're installed. However after every restart the Appstore shows that the same update is available. I checked the applications folder and clicked on the 3 apps to "Get Info" and they're all still the old versions. I've repeatedly tried to update and install and the Appstore history has shown that I've tried over and over again. Any solutions would be appreciated please!

    I'm having this same issue, except Mail and iBooks are both installed, but showing as need to be updated (to same version already installed several days ago). iTunes was also doing this until I manually installed it, but the other two still won't be recognized as updated. I did a sudo softwareupdate -i -a and that failed as well. So I did a
    sudo softwareupdate -v --reset-ignored -l and showed this update is somehow broken

  • Final Cut Pro 6 installed. Now won't open. Help!

    Installed FCP 6 a week ago. Need to edit reel asap. The program now won't open, thus I can't edit. If anyone has ideas on how to solve, extra bonus points and gold stars. Deadline for TV reel was yesterday. Can anyone advise? Have restarted, and tried everything. My clips are all captured and ready to drop, drag and make DVD and link. I'll be up all night... if anyone can assist with this. THX.

    >It's FCP 6 and was fixed by Apple, then doesn't open.
    What's this?
    Did an Apple Store repair your Mac at some point?
    If so, it sounds like they reinstalled the OS and then migrated your applications from the old HD.
    Bad. Bad. BAD.
    The Final Cut Studio installer places many files at system level, some are in folders that are normally invisible to the user. Migration does not bring those files across, so FCP will not work properly and will typically refuse to open.
    Back to the digitalrebellion site for you.
    This time, get a free copy of FCS Remover. Run it and then completely re-install FCS from the original DVD set.

  • A few weeks ago I had to reinstall itunes on my PC because the latest itunes update did not install properly.  Ever since doing that something called Mobile Me keeps popping up whenever I open email (outlook) and slowing it down. How do I remove MobileMe

    A few weeks ago an itunes upgrade did not install properly on my PC so I had to uninstall itunes and everything associated with it.  I was able to reinstall itunes and it works fine including syncing with my ipod.  However, now whenever I open my email (outlook) a box pops up stating MobileMe Services has stooped working. This happens a couple of times after I click to close the program.  This a nusance and really slows down getting to my email.  From what I've found MobileMe was something that used to be used by itunes to sync mobile devices but is no longer used by itunes.  I can't find a way to remove this MobileMe from my PC.  I've tried going into Contol Panel then Programs and Features to uninstall it but there is no button there to uninstall it.  Any suggestions on how this can be removed?

    Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

  • My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

    My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

    I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that  are causing the problem.
    I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

  • How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive.  I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed.  Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

    How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive.  I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed.  Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
    When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial. 

    Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:
    Time Machine:
              Skip System Files: NO

              /Library excluded from backup!

    Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?
    Thanks,
