I received an error message on iTunes saying it can't recognize my iPod and needs to reinstall. How can I uninstall/reinstall iTunes?
iTunes randomly stopped syncing with my iPod and now I need to uninstall/reinstall.
How do I do this and will an uninstall delete all of my music/movies/podcasts/etc.?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After following the instructions to completly uninstall iTunes and related components, I restarted computerand reinstalled iTunes, Then I received the error message that iTunes couldn't load because program file Apple Application Support (deleted as per instructions) wasn't present. What now?
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.) -
I have a 16 GB iPhone 4S. Tonight when I went to sync with my iTunes on my MacPro, I received an error message that the iPhone could not be sync'ed because it needed 6.25 GB more space. I still have 2.5 GB free. I sync'ed last night fine. How could I need 8.75 GB (6.25 +2.5) more space on a 16GB iPhone. I have added nothing but audio podcasts to my iTunes library on my Mac in the last two days and I have not change the sync setting on my iPhone. Something has gone haywire. Any ideas. Mahalo, Oahu Guy
I resolved this after some analysis. Turnes out that iTunes was not recognizing that my music was already installed on my iPhone, so when I tried to sync, iTunes was attempting to load all my music a second time, and there was not enough room on my iPhone for that. I did a restore from backup today and this appears to have resolved the problem. I initiatied an iTunes sync and it worked fine. Not sure where the glitch was. Could have been in the latest update of the iTunes software. Not sure. Anyway, I'm good now.

When opening the version of Iphoto i have an error message appears that says; You can't open your current iphoto library using this version of Iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto. What? If I can't open the current library using the latest version of iphoto, and I am asked to make changes the the newest version!!! I'm asked to run in circles chasing my tail...I had a new hard drive installed about 6 weeks ago. I am running MAC OS 10.5.8
What version of iPhoto do you have? If you're on 10.5 then you're not running the latest iPhoto
Any chance that the library was opened with another version?
Simplest solution will be to just restore from your back up. -
can't reload Photoshop elements 7 on my windows 7 operating system. Everything goes well and it appears to be installing. All of the sudden the Installer starts to roll back everything and error message shows up saying I can't use this product at this time.
How do I do that? I'm the only user on the laptop - I kind of assumed I already was running the install as the admin.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you follow the instructions in the message and contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support. If Apple have asked you to contact them, then the issue can only be resolved by them. -

Re: iTunes store temporarily unavailable?
Sep 30, 2013 8:46 AM (in response to abigail88)
Here is how I solved it on my Macs as well as Windows.
Here is for the Mac:
- Quit iTunes
- Go to Safari and open Safari preferences (in the Safari/Preferences menu)
- Navigate to the privacy tab.
- Choose to "Always" block cookies (you can change that back once the issue is solved)
- Click "Details" below "Remove All Website Data"
- Type apple.com in the search field
- Select apple.com and click the remove button
- Check that the apple.com line does not re-appear (it shouldn't, but if it ever does, quit and relaunch Safari and start over)
- Quit Safari
- Launch iTunes
- Connect to your iTunes account
- Smile :-)
Here is for Windows 7 (must be similar for other Windows versions):
- Quit iTunes (and Safari if you have it)
- Openan Explorer window ("My Computer" for example)
- Well hidden in the upper bar under "Organize" choose "Folder and search options"
- In the "view" tab, make sure that "Show hidden files, folders and drives" is checked and click OK
- Navigate to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies or YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies if that is easier
- Delete everything in that folder
- (I am not sure this is necessary) you might want to also trash items in the YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Cookies folder
- Launch iTunes
- Connect to your iTunes account
- Smile :-)
Please tell me if that works for Mac and PC (I tried other things before those instructions so an extra step might have been involved)

i am trying to update the software on my ipad from 4.2 to 4.3.3 but i cannot get it to download. I get an error message that says the software was unable to download because the network timed out. I have tried to download it 7 or 8 different times and still get the same message. I cannot restore the factory settings either. The same thing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions? It did this when trying to update to 4.2. I don't remember how we were able to get the software to update. Thanks.
Thank you King_Penguin! It worked beautifully. I had turned the firewalls off but not the antivirus. You are great! I am new to this apple community thing so it looks like I cannot mark your reply as "correct answers", but it was. Thanks a ton!

I just got a new computer and am preparing my old computer to give to my nephew. The old machine runs system 7 and was running FF 7.0.1. I completely removed Firefox to erase all of my data. When I tried to reinstall Firefox, I began getting this error message.

I have tried shutting down my anti-virus software, to include Windows Defender, but it didn't help. I am running the AVG free anti-virus.
But you still got the message? If so, you didn't get everything shut down. Something has to be giving you that message.
More than likely, it's a false-positive. Happens quite a bit with updates when the AV companies haven't caught up with their definitions.
If you didn't get the message after disabling all your AV stuff, what DID happen? -
Receiving an error message on itunes when attempting to start up:
"the folder "itunes" can not be found or created and is required. The default location for the folder is inside the "My Music" folder".
I re-installed itunes, which worked yesterday, but the message has re-appeared today. Ideas? Thanks in advanceI assume you are using Windows XP?
If so see this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1866
iTunes looks for a registry setting for the location of My Music. If this setting is missing, iTunes can't start.
If you can't find My Music in the list of special folders in TweakUI, post back for further instructions.
You can often work round this by doing a shift key start.
Hold dwon the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to your iTunes folder in My Music and choose iTunes Library.itl.
This does nto fix the underlying cause of the problem. -

Wehn opening iTunes, I immediately receive an error message that iTunes has stopped working. The program previously worked. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Still the same problem. Working on a PC laptop Windows Home Vista is OS.
SInce this is an issue with iTunes, you should post this in the iTunes forum. You'll likely get a much quicker more informated response there.
