  • Itunes can't run because some of its required files are missing. please reinstall itunes.

    I have an old Ipod nano, with great music on it, however no pc to sync it to and I dont want to lose the music.  I downloaded itunes 10.0 (most recent) and was trying to use yamipod to get the music from it, however it says that it works best with older version of itunes. so i uninstalled new itunes, tried to install older version, had issues, uninstalled all apple programs from pc, now when i try to install older version of itunes i get the error message:
    itunes cant run because some of its required files are mising. please re-install itunes....which i tried several times and still keep getting this error message...HELP

    No, that did not work. I did a system restore on my computer, and then that's why my iTunes reverted back to version 6. Whenever I try to download the newer version, it keeps giving me this error message:
    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    And then I will just click 'OK.' Then this will come up:
    The path 'C:\DOCUME~1\HP_Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP705.TMP\iTunes.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    I just don't know what to do. Please...more feedback!!!

    Hey jrdeac,
    That sounds frustrating! Let's do a full uninstall of iTunes and all related components, then reinstall. The following article explains how to do so for your operating system:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Note: It is important to remove all of the listed software, in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
    If the issue persists after completely removing, and reinstalling, please see the following article:

    You should first uninstall iTunes completely.
    This is not an easy task!
    Read this article on how to remove iTunes completely
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
    Then download the latest version of iTunes for your Windows Version and install it.

    That's crazy. A serial number is not required.
    Are you certain you chose the correct version to download?

  • I have a windows xp SP3 machine that is giving the error "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing please reinstall itunes".

    It worked fine one day then failed with this error the next.  I tried the repair and a completely fresh install with the same result.  I also tried installing an older version (7.0).  It installed, but would not connect to the server so I ran the upgrade hoping that it would work.  No joy.  Back to the error...  I haven't been able to find any other things that might fix it.  Can anyone help?

    I did try to uninstall and reinstall.  It messed up my computer.  I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup.  This was not helpful at all.  I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all.  Geeze.......

  • Itunes can't run because some of its required files are missing.

    I've been having this problem for 2 weeks now, Every time I tried opening Itunes it would say Itunes can't run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall Itunes. Well I've reinstalled it a number of its and it kept giving me the same error message. Then I found a program Revo Uninstaller and I got everything dealing with Itunes and apple off of the computer and then reinstalled it. It worked but once the program was closed it wouldn't open back up and gave me the same error message. Any ideas?

    Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.

    download iTunes again from Apple.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
    Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
    Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
    You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
    Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.

  • ITunes can not run because some required files are missing.

    I got a message that said something like "iTunes can not run because some required files are missing. reinstall itunes." I tried to reinstall iTunes but I kept getting that message. So, i uninstalled it, and tried to install it again. this did not work. I think that Quicktime is actually what is broken, because iTunes installs fine, but the Quicktime installation failed. When the installation failed, i got a message that said, "Installation failed: error code: -3"
    I then tried installing Quicktime with the standalone installer. The installation got further, but it then failed as well, giving the error code -1603.
    What can I do to get this reinstalled, and if you can't answer that, how can I contact Apple from Iraq? Thank you.

    hmmm...that happened to me at one point to, and I'm trying to think back, I believe I was able to uninstall it by using the standalone installer.....
    Try these steps and see if anything helps, and then in the troubleshooting section, look up the specific error number you are receiving...

  • TS1717 I tried to open iTunes but a box pops up.  In it is written "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.  Please reinstall iTunes."  I have done so a number of times but nothing is working.  How can I fix this problem?

    iTunes will not open because a dialog box pops up with "Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.  Please reinstall iTunes.". I have done so a few times to no avail.  Any solutions for this problem?

    No you will not lose your content reinstalling iTunes.
    Do this:
    1: Download and run the Registry Cleaner of the free Ccleaner.
    http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
    2: Next follow this Apple document to un-install iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    3: Just for good measure, run Ccleaner again
    4: Reinstall iTunes.
