    Hi texasslagle,
    It sounds like you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 7 PC, a frustrating situation I am sure.
    There is an article that you may want to use to try to complete your install here -

  • When I download Itunes I get an error that my apple application support was not found how do I fix this error

    I have downloaded, uninstalled and redowloaded Itunes about 50 times and I continue to get the error that my apple application support was not found and that I should uninstall and reinstall Itunes.  I can not get to my music and this is starting to really make me mad.  Can anyone (other than some bogus virus filled program) give me a hint as to how I can fix this so I can play my music?

  • Unable to install iTunes to vista..getting msg that "Apple Application Support was not found" ..."Apple application Support is required to use iTunes. Please uninstall...again" etc.

    Weird, is that is a good word. I have uninstalled, done a complete removal using a data removal program and still cannot
    install.

    Went to M'Sft and selected FIX IT, then after that program found the iTunes app which would not install properly, selected RUN as Administrator and now everything is installed properly and working.
    Just a note to those who may have had any problems.

    When I try to access Itunes Icon on my dell computer I get an Apple application support was not found.  Apple application support required to run Itunes, and say uninstall itunes, then install itunes again.  It used to work.  What do I do?

    I took the time to research it and come across a couple of people who experienced the same trouble and so I listed some of there steps(with Credits) and  some people said that they worked.

    OK, this worked for me:( Original Post by r0tt3n4pp13)
    1. Save iTunes install file to your desktop.
    2. Disconnect from internet.
    3. Disable Firewall/Security software.
    4. Run install. Note that it installs Application Support and a bunch of other software this time.
    5. Run iTunes.
    6. Enable Firewall/Security software.
    7. Reconnect to internet.
    8. Download Watchmen Director's Cut post haste.
    OR!
    (Original post by Cr4z33)
    1. Download and install WinRAR.
    2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
    4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.

  • Error after install iTunes setup: Apple application Support was not found

    Hello,
    I am trying to install iTunes on my pc. During the downloading of iTunes setup.exe i get this error:
    Something went wrong during the installation of this item. Microsoft. VC80.CRT, type="win32", version="8.0.5072.7.6195", publicKeyToken="lfrc8b3b9a1e18e3b",process or Architecture=x86"
    I choose 'ok' and the download continues. When the download is complete and i try to open the iTunes setup its given the error saying:
    Apple Application Support was not found
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes then install iTunes again.
    I tried this more than once, but its not working. I also tried to extract the iTunes setup.exe with winrar and then to do an install with appleapplicationsupport.msi, but its given the same error.
    Anyone please has some advice?
    Thanks in advance!

    When I look at my control panel the only program that shows is "I Tunes".  No other supporting programs are showing up in the control panel nor the Common Files nor in the Program Files (x86).
    That's an extreme case of this.
    We'll try doing standalone installations of all the supporting programs.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install.
    Doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone Apple Software Update install.
    Doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.
    Do those four installs go through okay? If so, does your iTunes launch without any errors now?

  • I have downloaded itunes to my computer which has windows based 7 and I get an error saying Apple Application Support was not found error 2.  What do I need to do.

    I have downloaded itunes to my computer which is windows 7 and I get an error 2 which says Apple Application Support was not found does anyone know how to overcome this error?

    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.

  • My computer wont finish downloading itunes it says that apple application support was not found. how do i fix this?

    my computer wont finish downloading itunes it says that the apple application support was not found and it tells me to uninstal it and download itunes again n i did so n it keeps doing the same thing, even tho i have downloaded itunes before in this computer. please i need help with this!

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • ITunes wont load Apple Application Support was not found

    I have been having a lot of trouble downloading itunes. I had it on my laptop and then the laptop crashed. I tried to re-install,and it goes smooth then at the end. I get a window message that has a red and white X that says:
    Apple Application Support was not found
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunesHelper. please unistall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
    Error 2
    ok
    Can anyone help me PLEASE?
    Thanks

    With that one, let's try uninstalling both iTunes and Apple Application Suppport. When we reinstall iTunes, that should reinstall Apple Application Support as well. We'll take a few additional explicit precautions along the way too. Best to print these instructions out, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Download and save a fresh iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the iTunes install just yet.)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now, quit QuickTime (if you have that open) and Safari 4.0.4 (if you have that installed and open). Both applications use Apple Application Support, and they will interfere with the uninstall if you have them open.
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your "Add or Remove Programs" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support (if it is listed in there).
    (From this point on until we reinstall Apple Application Support, neither QuickTime nor Safari 4.0.4 will be able to run.)
    Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    (1) Open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are stored on.
    (2) Open the "Program Files" folder.
    (3) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    (4) Open the "Common files" folder.
    (5) Open the "Apple" folder.
    (6) Right-click on the Apple Application Support folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Now empty your Recycle Bin and restart the PC.
    *Reinstall Phase*
    After the PC restarts, do not open any other applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus and antispyware).
    Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Did the install seem to go through okay? If so, does iTunes start launching properly again?
