Help - Removing iTunes

I want to completely remove iTunes from my computer and start over because I moved a file around when trying to get songs from my old computer onto my new computer. Now the new songs that I have purchased are not playing. I've already backed them up on my flash drive. I tried uninstalling from the control panel but it did not remove all files. When I went to download iTunes again it used the files that were still on my computer and I'm still having the same problem. iTunes is unable to locate my new songs. I just want to erase iTunes all together. How do I do that?

Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > iTunes
Click on it and choose Remove.
Do the same thing for QuickTime & Apple Software Update.

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

Hi, Mommacat26.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This usually means that a required component is missing. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

Help updating/removing itunes due to message, Error1327.InvalidDrive:F:/

Right, my dad thought he was being helpful after I had some problems with my laptop by removing itunes and then reinstalling it. However, he used the disk I received when first getting my ipod and since then I havent been able to update to the newest version or remove itunes.
The process will get so far then report the message,
*Error 1327. InvalidDrive:F:/* Now I have no idea what to do, not only have I lot all my library info but I can't seem to get Itunes to do anything.
If anyone has any ideas as to what I can do I would be very grateful.

Do you have a camera or memory stick to connect to one of the usb ports on the computer? That may provide the F drive the computer is looking for. You should then be able to install itunes to the drive you want to.

TS1389 I need help removing UAC from itunes..

I need help removing UAC from itunes so it will not allow me to open itunes. Everything I have read from other comments that you shouldn't turn off your user account control. I just to be able to open itunes. Can anyone help me with this problem?? Greg, ogrady612@yahoo,com

I had this problem too but you do not need UAC to be turned on.
Click on start and search for 'uac' in the search box at the bottom and click on 'Change User Account Control Settings' when it comes up. Move the slider to the bottom when the window appears and save the changes and your done!
It's worked for me and my uac has been off for months without causing me any problems!
Hope this helped

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REMOVE ITUNES SO I CAN RE INSTALL IT!

How Can I Remove and Unistall Itunes From My Computer I Went To "Add or Remove Programs" and Clicked Itunes "Change/Remove" and nothing happen! its still there same thing for quicktime and im trying to unistalled them because i dont have any were in my computer to click itunes to open! so its like i dont even have it but i cant download it till i remove that one on the add or remove program section but i cant because nothing happens CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REMOVE ITUNES! FROM THAT LIST!

Well, you can do what I did. You can click onto "Start" and then "My Computer". From there, click onto Hard Disc Drive "C". A window will open that shows the folders that are present. Click onto "Program Files" and then another window will open. You should see both I-Tunes and Quicktime there. Right click onto each one and then click "Delete". That should work. When it's done, restart your computer.
If it doesn't work, hit the "control/alt/delete" keys at the same time and select "Processes". If they show up there, delete them from that list first and then repeat the above procedure.
Good luck. By the way, check out my post on "People with Problems, Read here". You'll find that there's many of us here that cannot make our I-Pod's work correctly because the software for them is HORRIBLE!

I need help downloading itunes on two vista 32 bit computers

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.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
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.

Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

+sync to an unlimited number of iPods+.
+delete all music from itunes and empty files to recycle bin then empty recycle bin. wont this help.+
That sounds like a scary way to delete all the music files!
My advice is, use Windows Explorer to clean out the duplicate files.
Then start over with a blank itunes library - he could move/delete his itunes database file while iteuns is closed.
iTunes will create a new blank one next times it is launched, since it can't run without it.
The name of that file is
*iTunes Library.itl*

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

I received this error msg when I wants to sync my 3gs iphone. Please help. "This Iphone 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."

I received this errir msg when I wants to sync my 3gs iPhone. And I already update my iTunes to 64-bit. "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed.Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version itunes".

First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

TS5376 Help! I can't fix or uninstall/reinstall iTunes without getting this error message: "The path \C\Users\(my name)\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes64msi.' cannot be found." So I can't remove iTunes.

Here's the complete message:
"The path \C\Users\(my name)\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes64msi.' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in a folder in which you can uninstall the product from iTunes."
So I'm stuck in this loop in which I can't download an update, can't remove iTunes to reinstall, and can't use iTunes currently as it shuts down at the drop of a hat. Am I hopeless or is there a fix I can find?

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Use the same advice as in note 1 but for iTunes. Try the MS fixit, or leave it in place and go to the next step.

How do I remove iTunes 10.2.2.12 from computer? I get a message that iTunes.msi file can not be found, so I can't remove it. Help

How do I remove iTunes 10.2.2.12 from Windows XP?
I get a message that iTunes.msi can not be found or is corrupted.
I want to install latest version, but can't get remove older version.

Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.
