Fix for iTunes not installing on windows 8

Well I had this issue and search all over never saw a specific answer.
Here is how I fixed it.
Even if you are an administrator you need to be able to right click the itunes installer and run as administrator, I kept having the Apple Application Support error 2 or Apple Applicication Support error 2 (windows) and seen many posts on it but no actually answer.
This solved it for me just had to drag the installer to the desktop and then ran as administrator.

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 the 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.

  • Is there a fix for iTunes not running under Windows 8.1 Operating System?

    I used iTunes for Windows, on my Dell Tower PC, successfully under Windows 7 to import CD tracks and share them with my iPad and iPhone using iTunes Match but since I upgraded my operating system to Windows 8 and then 8.1, iTunes for Windows will not run, despite my downloading the latest versions as they become available; I receive no error message!

  • "A Fix For iTUNES Not Opening"

    Well, after trying to figure out what was going on with iTunes not opening at all. It turns out that by default for some reason Windows Xp Firewall disables it from opening it. iTunes however is acting like a server for the simple fact that you exchange data between your computer and iTunes Store. Since there is no option to force this connection to happen, you have to get ZoneAlarm to do so. I’m using ZoneAlarm Suite Edition, but it also works with the free Edition of ZoneAlarm. So what ZoneAlarm does is actually enables the connection between your computers data (iTunes) and iTunes servers to connect.
    So first off make sure that you uninstall any Anti-Virus program so that only ZoneAlarm is installed/Running. Run ZoneAlarm and once that’s achieved you then go ahead and run iTunes. You will then be prompted twice, the first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again). Once that’s done, you will see iTunes runs again. You can also uninstall ZoneAlarm and you will see that iTunes will still open even after ZoneAlarm is Uninstalled. I will see if I can make a .reg file so that you don’t have to install ZoneAlarm to make iTunes open again, but then again it wouldn’t hurt having ZoneAlarm installed since ZoneAlarm is a great tool.
    Here's A direct link to the Free ZoneAlarm: http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1001cnet_zdnet/zlsSetup_61_737_000en.exe
    I’m sure this will work for anyone clicking the iTunes icon and getting nothing after a sec of the hour-glass disappearing and also seeing that iTunes.exe disappears in the Task Manager. So the chances of this working are high and once again since its free it wont hurt to try. Thank you again for your attention. And if anyone needs help let me know, and I would appreciated it if you can leave a reply and let me know how it turned out, weather or not iTunes opened. Thank You.-Michael R.

    Just A Correction. In The Line ....The first time it will prompt you about itunes.exe running as a program (Click Yes) and the second is very important since this is what enables iTunes to make a forced connection with iTunes servers (Click yes again)...
    Instead of "Click Yes" its supposed to be "Click Allow".

  • Is there a fix for layers not displaying in window when desktop theme changes from default?

    Every time I change my desktop theme from windows default I can't see the layers in the Adobe window.  Can anyone tell me where in options/preferences is the fix for this?

    Hi Kelly,   what happened is that I changed by Win7 desktop theme to a Holiday based theme and when working in Adobe Photoshop part of CS6 collection I start a new project and the layers work panel shows me there is a back ground layer there but in the Adobe work space window the layer doesn’t display.  I tried change layer background colors but that didn’t work.   If I change the Wind 7 desktop theme back to default it works as expected.   Hope this helps.  J

  • ITunes not installing on Windows 7 32-bit

    Hello,
    I wanted to upgrade the version of my iTunes to 10.5 and it wouldn't let me. i tried uninstalling all of the Apple Programs on my computer and re-installed iTunes but everytime i try to install it, it gives my this message:
    It gives me this same message everytime i try to install. It always starts to clock during the installation when it gets to "publishing product information" and that's when the error message appears.i tried ckearing my Temp files and still no luck.
    If you have any suggestions on how to fix this, please answer right away!
    thanks,

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • Itunes not installing on windows 7

    Have tried this several times. On PC, with Windows 7. Have also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling. 'apparently' it downloads fine and says 'congratulations' it has downloaded and that it has added a shortcut and everything else but then is NOWHERE!
    Am using a HP, desktop PC and it has plenty of memory left.  Have checked windows is allowing program to install etc but still nothing. I know some people have had problems with Windows 7 and itunes before - has anything been resolved since? Have itunes actually done anything about it?
    I simply havent used itunes for about a year because of this error so they must just be losing customers?

    Okay tried again and have this error message which I think is similar to previous ones:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft. VC80.CRT.type
    =”win32”.version=”8.0.50727.4053”.publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”.processorArc hitecture=”amd64”. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x800736FD.

  • Does any one have a fix for silverlight not installing?

    Silverlight was causing problems so I uninstalled it and when I tried to re-install it and now it is telling me I already have the newest version of Silverlight and it won't install Silverlight.

    I can't help with specifics but probably there is some residual files you did not delete that the installer is detecting.  This could be a file in your preferences (I think that will be in your hidden library folder).  With Mac applications it could also be a file in the receipts folder.  Somebody who can be more specific will be able to better aid you if you tell us exactly which operating system version you are running.  You may be able to use Spotlight to track down some Silverlight files but others may be more cryptically named.

    The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

    There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks.  You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution.  There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

  • Why is my itunes not installing properly? I installed it and it was fine, then it started to show Errors. iTunes exe - Entry Point not Found. And the Error 7 (Windows error 127).Itsays to reinstall iTunes. I did that and same error. new pc, same on old

    Why is my itunes not installing properly?
    I installed itunes day before yesterday,  I spent hours last night linking all my music photograph and movie files, its a new windows 8 laptop.
    I plugged in my 64GB ipad 3 rebooted it and reloaded all the information I wanted on it, took hours... finally completed this this morning. After this I restarted the laptop to configure my icloud link for the laptop (which I installed last night while I was loading files, I chose to restart later)
    on completion I turned my laptop off for a few hours, when I turned it back on I went to itunes to connect my iphone to do the same and I got this message:
    iTunes exe - Entry Point Not Found
    The procedure entry point
    AVCFPlayerAppliesMediaSelectionCriteriaAutomaticallyKey could not
    be located in dynamiclink library F:\Programmes\iTunes.dll
                                                                                               OK
    then after pressing 'OK' the following message:
    iTunes
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
    Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    I went back to apple website to reinstall iTunes, first reinstalled it same again, then unsinstalled it and the reinstalled it, same again.
    The same thing happened with my old lap top and I replaced it with this new one at the start of the week.
    Has anyone any idea what is going on and how to rectify this problem, I am now going on 3 weeks without iTunes.
    Regards,

    I started up and plugged in my iPad  and then the following message came up:
           iTunes
    ❗️This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not
        Installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install
        the 64-bit version of iTunes.
                                                                                             OK
    I then proceeded to the "iTunes64Setup" expanded folder to load "AppleMobileDeviceSupport64"
    Started the install and then received this message:
          Apple Mobile Device Support

    I tried all tree options, last being ignore.
    I continued to download the other 2 you suggested with out any drama.
    I did a system restart and then opened iTunes.
    Connected my iPad
    Then message appears:
          iTunes .exe - System Error
    ❌ The program can't start because CoreAdioToolbox.dll is missing from

                                                                                           OK
    Press OK and then the next message:

  • Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

    Any one had this issue
    Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

    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
    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.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • ITunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  My only way to recover is to restore my system.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly.  When will Apply provide a workable update?

    iTunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  The only way I have found to recover is to restore my system.  I have unistalled/reintalled iTunes two times.  No success.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly (following system restore).  When is Apply expected to provide a workable update?

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

    Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat. 
    Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
    Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
    It works now BUT there are still problems.  It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn.  Looking still for this fix.
