Itunes app wont open keeps saying apple aplication support was not found
my itunes wont open it keeps saying that apple aplication suppourt was not found
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 suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
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 so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

When I try to open iTunes, Error 2 appears saying that itunes won't open because "Apple Application Support was not found". What do I do???
If your problem is only w/iTunes, you really should re-post over in the iTunes for Windows forums instead of the iPod forums.

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.

What does it mean when it says "Apple Application Support was not found"
Ok. I uninstalled everything that was related to itunes because it wouldn't let me connect my ipod to itunes. a few days ago I think I uninstalled something that I needed because now I can't even open itunes. It keeps saying "apple application support was not found" when I try to open the program. And it says :"Error 2 (Windows error 2)" I've tried to download everything. itunes 64-bit, 32-bit, update, latest version, and something else I believe. Why can't I get itunes back on my computer? Please help!

ITunes doesn't launch error 1 "apple aplication support is not found"
Every single time I attempt to open iTunes, it doesn't and it shows me a pop up telling me that the ERROR 1 occured, that the apple aplication support was not found, it tells me to uninstall and install itunes and so i've done several times, but nothing. PLEASE help me if you can i'm going nuts here!!!!!
Try removing all iTunes related software and then reinstalling.
Use the method in this article:
XP

Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
If an uninstall doesn't work, you need to use the Microsft Installer cleanup utility to remove it.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.

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 -

After i upload it, it says "Apple Application Support was not found"
So the iTunes with all my songs, is on my old computer and to share it throughout the house to my new computer i need to download iTunes 9, which I did, and it said it was successful. But then when i tried to open iTunes, it says "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes, please uninstall iTunes then install iTunes again" Well this is the third time I've tried, I downloaded the older version and it said my library had been created on a newer version. I have no idea what to do. Oh and I can't get my disk drive to work so I can't do a disk back-up.
Hi, decent.devil.
I would recommend uninstalling iTunes, all of it's components and reinstall. Below, I have included an article that covers this process. Make sure to uninstall all programs in the order specified.

Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1. Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2. Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work. Is there a fix?

When trying to download the latest version of iTunes, I receive the following error "Apple Application Support was not found", any suggestions?
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 page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

I bought an iphone 4s. After plugging it via usb to my computer itunes demanded to update version to 10.3 or higher. I uninstalled itunes, downloaded latest version (11.0.2) and during installation process on "activating services" it shows error message: "installation failed, verify administrator priviliges" which i have because i sign in as my pc administrator. I click on ignore and it tells me itunes has been succesfully instaled but when i try to run it it shows the error message: "apple application support was not found. It is required to run itunes. Uninstall and install itunes again. (which i have done several times) error 2 (windows error 2)." Someone please help me with this problem. Thanks.
