Having trouble w itunes installing on my laptop...will not install Apple support?

having issues intalling itunes on my laptop...error message is telling me that Apple Support was not installed and to uninstall and reinstall...tried all my limited knowledge will allow...need help please?

Go to control panel "Uninstall a program" and remove:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
After you have uninstalled all the items listed above go to start menu and click the computer link then open your c drive. After opening the c drive click "organize" on the upper left hand corner and select "folder and search options" then select the "view" tab. Then select the "Show hidden files and folders" and click the apply button and select ok and close.
Open your c drive and open the "users" file and then open the folder containg your selected computer name. After the file opens select the "local" folder and right click and select delete for all Apple files (itunes, quick time etc) Then open the "temp" file and remove and delete all apple files that may be in the temp file as you did in your "local" folder.
Then download itunes 9 from oldapps.com/itunes and install. Once installed itunes will open and you can update to a newer version from itunes

    I have a new iTouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: "Apple Application Software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2." I have uninstalled and tried installing again and get the same error message. What do i need to do?

    Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

    I am having trouble downloading iTunes on my computer.  The message I get is Service 'Apple Moble Device' failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    I'm not sure where to go to take care of the problem.

  • I am having trouble syncing my iPhone: photos and music will not sync

    I have upgraded to iOS5, I have a iPhone4.  iCloud is all set up.  Mac is upgraded to Lion.  When I connect to iTunes, it allows me to click the sync button and appears to go through the process.  When finished there are no photos or music that are set to sync.
    I did try unclicking the sync music, then syncing and then reclicking the music - no avail.
    Suggestions?

    That didnt help. it keeps coming upwith this.....
    iTunes cant verify the identity of the sever "p46-buy.itunes.apple.com"
    thecertificate for this serverhas expired. you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "p46-buy.itunes.apple.com" witch could put your confidential information at risk. would you like to connect to the server anyway?
    what does this mean??

  • Having trouble upgrading to OS 3.* It will not download even though internet connection is good and iPod is connected to the P/C . It's a touch first generation which has basically never been set up or used.

    The header pretty much says it all. I've restarted iTunes, and also the computer. It almost immediately gives me an error message that it can't download due to an unknown error.

    - If you are getting the 8288 error, use the communities search box in the upper right and search for 8288.  That has beeb a recent problem with the 3.1.3 update.
    - If you can't get to the dright download page, try a different browser like FireFox
    - If something else, please provide more information

    when I click on my Photoshop at the beginning  the welcome comes up and I do not Singh I click organize there are only two thing you can click on one organize and edit.
    That is the welcome screen. You don't want to use it because it will always try to contact photoshop.com.
    You are using windows, I'm guessing? Then you want to go into the program files. If you have a 64 bit version of windows it will be program files(x86) instead. Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer to find the organizer .exe file (it will be called application instead of .exe in windows 7 or 8). The editor will be in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10.

  • Having trouble trying to install itunes 10.5. Receive message saying 'There is a problem with this installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be found. Please contact product vendor'

    Having trouble trying to install itunes 10.5. Receive message saying 'There is a problem with this installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be found. Please contact product vendor'

    Managed to get the installation sorted. Go to Control Panel, and where you have a list of all installed programs, repair all the Apple/Itunes related programs. Installation worked fine after that. Hopefully it helps you out too!

  • Why am i having trouble updating itunes  on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

    Why am I having trouble updating itunes on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

    Doug
    Thanks for the update.
    nothing is getting installed, copied or otherwise loaded onto my computer....first the program starts to load, then it asks for my serial number, then it goes out and seems to check the serial number then it says it can't be installed then it erases everything it just spent 10 minutes loading.
    In view of the above and your prior descriptions, have you tried alternative installation files?
    If you want to give a look to that approach, please download and install the tryout files for Premiere Elements 9 from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number into them during installation.
    With this route, you need to carefully carry out the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied message.

    Back to my questions from post 3
    Are you getting any Shared Technologies error message any where in the installation process that is failing?
    If you follow the following path, do you find an OOBE Folder?
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files Folder
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the OOBE Folder which you rename from OOBE to OLDOOBE to disable it.
    When you are forced into a roll back for whatever installation has taken place, do you ever see a message about Shared Technologies?
    And, whether or not the program installs to any extent, does your computer have the OOBE Folder? If so, then please rename it to disable it before
    you try for another 9 install.
    Looking forward to your results.
    ATR
    Add On....Please remind me....since you purchased Premiere Elements 9, have you ever installed and used it successfully on any computer?

  • TS1424 I am having trouble getting Itunes to open

    I am having trouble getting ITUNES to work I have deleted itunes and everything associated with it and reinstalled and I still get the same errors,
    The application has failed to start because of MSVCR80.DLL
    INTUNES WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY  ERROR 7
    THIS APPLICATION FAILED TO START BECAUSE ICUDT49.DLL WAS NOT FOUND

    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.

  • Having trouble opening itunes on my pc

    I am having trouble opening iTunes on my PC, how do I fix the issue?

    Hello Will,
    I know you said you uninstalled iTunes but if you only uninstalled the application itself and not its components, when you re installed the issue could keep happening. I recommend using this article to uninstall iTunes and its components Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923.
    After that try installing iTunes again and see if the issue is resolved.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  Thanks.

    Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I tried uninstalling, but I am stuck now trying to reinstall.
    It says itcan't find the itunes64.msi destination folder.

    (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?
