HT1925 Can't Uninstall iTunes from my Window XP machine

The iTunes update site said nothing about uninstalling in a particular order. So I uninstalled the first component I came to in Control Panel which was "Apple Mobil Device Support". Now I can't uninstall iTunes. It tells me it is located in a network device which is not available to me, but it is on my "C" drive. How do I uninstall iTunes now? I can't install the new version till I get rid of the old. Help?

Now I can't uninstall iTunes. It tells me it is located in a network device which is not available to me,
(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?

    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?

  • How can I uninstall iTunes from my PC and update my iPhone software?

    I've been trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.1 to the newest version but I've encountered problem after problem.
    First when I tried to update it through iTunes it said 'it cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable at this time'.
    Now when I connect my iPhone to my laptop it says 'iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again.'
    So when I got to the control panel to uninstall iTunes it says 'the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your personnel for assistance.'
    I've been looking for a solution for hours and cannot find anything, I tried one solution which involved Regedit but it didn't work.
    Can someone please please help me? I'm beginning to loose my mind!

  • I can't uninstall Thunderbird from my Windows Programs "uninstall list"; why does it not uninstall and be removed from this list?

    Very frustrating...under the Windows "Programs/Uninstall a program" list, Mozilla Thunderbird is still listed AFTER I have removed it completely (I thought) from my computer. I have clicked on "uninstall" several times and nothing happens. I resent the fact that Mozilla has set this up so that it apparently can't be removed from that list.. What's that all about? I have tried to research the problem, even using your website to no avail. All I want to do is get it out of my uninstall/change list. I have not used that program AND won't use it. I don't want that program on my computer/list period. I would appreciate your help.

    This is a fault with Windows application management. Mozilla does nothing to interfere with the install/uninstall process.
    You could re-install Thunderbird to re-synch the applications list and then un-install it again, or you could use a utility to remove it from the list.
    A search for ''thunderbird.exe'' will confirm whether or not it has been truly removed, though you may need to disable all the idiot-proofing that Microsoft implement to stop us seeing the true state of the file system; set it to show hidden files and file extensions for starters.
    Thunderbird is pretty much self-contained. You are free to manually remove the folder the application lives in if Windows is unable to uninstall it for you, though that won't fix the incorrect appearance of thunderbird in the list of installed applications.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
