Itunes cannot run error message

Hey fella's I recently have been having trouble with iTunes. I received the error message itunes cannot run because of your audio configuration. i followed the steps to fix that by reinstalling quicktime. Now when i go to open itunes another error message pops up stating "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing, please reinstall itunes" i've tryed repairing it and reinstalling it and the same thing continues to reoccur. i've restored my system twice and it still persists. I'm baffled could it be a bug? a virus? I noticed during repair that about 3/4 of the way through, the error message pops up. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Hey try opening quicktime. Thats what i did, and after getting it up and running, iTunes started working again.

  • Get Error Message "itunes cannot run because some of its required files ...

    complete message that i see in a pop-up window -- "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
    I check windows update. Microsoft says I'm up to date. When I reinstall ipod off the CD and/or itunes/quicktime from iTunesSetup.exe file version 7.0.2.16 it installs ok. If I choose unintall then reinstall or if I repair the itunes software the install program says everything is fine.
    However when I connect to Ipod. The ipod window comes up in itunes and then shuts down real fast. Itunes continues to work but i can't see the ipod.
    The showstopper happens when i shut down itunes after the attempt to connect the ipod. When I restart itunes i get the message -- "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
    Reinstall **** resumes.
    What files are missing?
    It would be nice if the interface offered more details. Or I could go online to a self diagnostic and repair web page like Microsoft offers.

    What are my options?
    Help Please.

    "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
    Just uninstall and reinstall. If you get some kind of error in the uninstall process, then if it were me, I'd use windows system restore to restore your system right before the original install of iTunes. Even if you don't get the error when you uninstall, it sounds to me like it hasn't been installed properly. So if you decide to go with system restore and the same thing happens, I would download a fresh copy of iTunes installer from their website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Make sure you download the one for Windows.
    "I check windows update. Microsoft says I'm up to date."
    This is because that you are. Microsoft has nothing to do with iTunes updates.

  • During installation of iTunes appears an error message: Itunes cannot run because some files are missing. What can I do?

    Recently I received an iPad2 as a gift. I had iTunes because an iPod I had. First I put some productivity apps through my computer. Then I bought some other games apps through WiFi. then when I try to synchronize, I lost my productivity apps and just keep those buy on WiFi. Now I try to install iTunes again, and what I received at the end is a message that tells me "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes".
    I did it a couple of times. Same result. One of this times, I also retired those programs recommended on help page: iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour, Apple Mobile, etc. (in the order indicated)
    Your help will be appreciated.

    Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.

  • ERROR - "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing."

    Every time I open iTunes I'm getting the following error:
    "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    This started after I installed iTunes 8.0.2.20 on my PC (running Windows XP SP3) to get the latest version after purchasing an iPhone.
    I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, & fixing iTunes. I've also tried uninstalling & reinstalling Quicktime using versions 7.3.1.70 & 7.55.90.70. With 7.3.1.70 installed I got an error stating something like iTunes 8.0.2.20 is only compatible Quicktime 7.55.90.70 & to reinstall iTunes.
    No matter what I do the same error message appears whenever I try to access iTunes.
    I can get into iTunes immediately after an install if I remove Quicktime & clean my Windows registry but if I then close iTunes & reopen it I get the missing file error.
    I'm not having this problem with my wife's PC running Vista & iTunes 8.0.2.20.
    This is starting to get VERY frustrating. Please, if anyone can help I would GREATLY appreciate it.

    I picked up Revo Uninstaller per the above directions here:

    & proceeded setting to work cleaning out the complete Apple suite as directed. 5 hours later, after downloading a brand new copy of iTunes, & having supposedly removed all traces of anything Apple, I'm right back where I was, getting the same "required files are missing" error!
    I've got a $300 iPhone that I can't use properly because their software won't play nice.
    Like I said at the beginning of this post ***! Now I'm beginning to move from agitated to flat out angry! >:-(
    Does ANYONE know what else I can try, or if there is a phone number I can call to get some technical support from Apple?

  • Error/ Win XP..."iTunes cannot run b/c some of its req. files are missing

    Error message In Windows XP..."iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes".
    but before I uninstall/reinstall I want to know if I will lose my libraries? Thanks in advance
    hp a1224n   Windows XP  

    it depends. have you "consolidated" your library? i.e, is your music in the itunes folder or elsewhere. if it's in the itunes folder, cut all your music and paste it elsewhere. if it's elsewhere, itunes shouldn't delete anything. if you're terrified, go illegal. download a program like yamipod (you can google it), and use the program to put all your music onto an ipod. delete itunes and reinstall it, and if the music was deleted you can (illegally, but it doesn't matter) use yamipod to copy the songs back from your ipod to the computer.

  • TS1424 I can't open iTunes. Get error message "the file iTunes library.itl cannot be opened because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"

    I cannot open itunes.  Getting error message: "the file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
    What do I need to do so I dont lose all my loaded music, etc.?
    Thanks

    If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
    Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
    Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

  • Recently updated itunes to (10.22.14) when attempting to open itunes, it fails to open and I get this message: itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes.

    Just updated itunes to (10.22.14) and itunes won't open. I get message: Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes. Is there any other way to troubleshoot this other than reinstalling itunes?

    With that one in that context, I think we should check for malware.
    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

    HI daddio,
    Ok some things first I need to know...Did you use Microsoft cleanup utility to clean up all those uninstalls you have done?
    I hate Norton and anyone who reads my posts will know that. I have seen way too many infected PC's by Norton users. Did you try the EWIDO and AdAware scan? I see you said you read lots of posts. That is helping folks remove the malware in order to get iTunes and quicktime back to health.

    I'm getting a message that says itunes cannot run b/c some required files are missing.  Please reinstall itunes.  I'm scared to because I don't want to lose my music.

    Reinstalling iTunes simply replaces the application.  It shouldn't affect your media.  You do have backups, right?
