How do i remove itunes from the control panel?

Hi all,
i have spent the past few weeks browsing these forums and others trying to find a solution to my problem. I am trying to remove all traces of the itunes program off my computer so that i can download the new copy. I have tried uninstalling itunes, bonjour, apple mobile support, quicktime, apple software update and apple application support and all but the itunes successfully uninstalled, i deleted the program files off my (C:) drive including the itunes program files but itunes still comes up in my control panel and when i click uninstall the uninstaller window pops up and says "preparing to remove" but then nothing happens, and when i click repair it says "preparing to install" but once again nothing happens, i have tried disabling all firewalls and antivirus and running the iTunesSetup.exe as an administrator but the same window pops up and says "errors occured during installation before itunes could be configured."
Someone please help me to solve this?

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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
    It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.

    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.

    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.

  • HT1923 I can't uninstall iTunes from the control panel on a Windows Vista machine.  .

    I need to uninstall iTunes so I can upgrade my Windows Vista machine to Windows 7 Home Premium.  When I try to uninstall it tells me I can't because I don't have administrator privleges.  I am the only user account on the machine and I have full administrator priveleges.  Any idea how I can get iTunes to uninstall?

    Hi, Dee5858
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    As you are receiving the network resource is unavailable message, completely uninstall iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

    Hi
    How do i remove music from the cloud which is showing on my i-phone

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you can hide items via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If your tagline is wrong and your phone is on iOS 7 and you have music in the cloud showing in the Music app on your phone, then you can also turn that off via Settings > iTunes & App Store

  • How do you remove recipients from the To list?

    Say you want to send an email to multiple recipients. You add a few recipients to the To list but then change your mind about including one of them. How do you remove one from the list? So far the only way I can see is go cancel the whole message and start again.

    Touch the persons name you wish to remove. It will highlight in blue. Then hit the destructive backspace (delete) key on the keyboard.
