Itunes download error message

I recently tried to download Itunes for my computer its a windows 8 64-bit. I downloaded Itunes twice and it won't open at all, anytime I try to open it, there is a message that says "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes, then install again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)
Does anyone know of anyway I can download itunes and this not happen? I have tried everything and nothing has worked.

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):
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.)

  • I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.

    Thank you.

    Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
    I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
    Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
    It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
    Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
    Best wishes and a Happy New Year!

  • Itunes download error message (-50)

    I have been trying to download some purchased music and every time I get an error message (-50) to check back later. I have 3 songs that won't download and I'm afraid to try to buy anything else until this clears up. I've tried to update my Itunes software but no luck there.
    Help!!!!!! I'm frustrated. Does this have anything to do with deauthorizing computer or what do you think is going on?
    Bonnie

    I keep getting the same error message. I uploaded to the itunes 6.0 yesterday and downloaded the "free" song of the week after the upload but when I try to buy a song I get the same kind of message. 'Could not purchase "Unknown". An error occured (502). There was an error in the Music Store. Please try again later.'
    I'm not sure whats going on either???

  • ITunes download error "Service "Apple Mobile Device Service"

    How do I get past the iTunes download error message: "Service "Apple Mobile Device Service" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privilege to start system services." ?
    I have tried ignoring, trying again, and canceling and reloading.  I most recently downloaded the exe file, then from the download file right clicked to  "run as Administrator" use an HP Pavillion g7 Notebook PC with 64-bit operating system and Windows 7. How can I get past this message?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The section Install missing components may allow you to install Apple Mobile Device Support without removing other components.
    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 the 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.

  • When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??

    When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    when downloading ios 5 to my itunes an error message saying "the network connection has timed out" keeps popping up. how do i fix this?

    Temporarily dip ****.
    And excluding the extremely high network traffic due to the many millions of users downloading the update a day or two after is was released, this is a problem with that swiss cheese for security garbage OS that is Windows only, which is the joke. An update that is now running on 1 in 3 compatible iDevices which is in the 10's of milllions is vaporware Einstein?
    If I were your rep, I would tell you to **** off. Go get Windoze mobile devices.

    Hi!
    It looks like there might be some security settings or software on your laptop that's preventing the restore process from working.
    Check out this article in Apple's support. It shows you the steps you can take to try to get around error 1611.
    Like diesel vdub said, a DFU-mode restore might give you success where a regular restore might not, so maybe you can try that.
    What you need to do is put your phone into DFU mode, which is a low-level mode that helps the restore process get a little more done, or it can help iTunes get around certain roadblocks (hopefully like the one you're experiencing!). Your computer will install special DFU-iPhone drivers for it, and then iTunes will see it as a phone that needs restoring.
    To get your phone into DFU mode:
    Plug your phone into your laptop.
    Turn the phone off.
    Press and hold the power/lock button. Keep it held in, even after the display turns on and you see something on the screen. As soon as you see something on the screen, start holding the home button as well as the power button, so that they're being pressed together.
    Keep both buttons pressed down for 10 seconds.
    After 10 seconds, release the power button, but keep holding home until the laptop sees a new USB device. Once you see that, you're in DFU mode, and you can let go of buttons. Your iPhone screen will be blank during it all, even though it's actually on, in DFU mode.
    Now your restore should work!
    If your phone shows the Apple logo or anything else while you're trying to get it into DFU mode, then something went wrong. Try the steps again. If it suddenly starts up normally again, try reducing the time to a bit less than 10 seconds--try reducing it by about a second at a time. It should work!

  • HT201272 My iPhone won't download music from iCloud only apps. The songs appear to download, then give a download error message just before it finishes. Also the songs won't transfer when I sync the phone to pc, only the apps.

    My iPhone only downloads apps from iCloud, the songs get almost finish then I get a download error message. Also the only thing that syncs are the apps, not the music when I sync on pc?

    Hi,
    I experienced the same issue as you have. What worked for me is the following:
    Go to iTunes store on your iPad. Under Downloads (the icon to the bottom right) you should see the episode that is causing you the issue. Delete this episode (swipe to left). Then retry. This worked for me.
    The workaround is far from ideal and Apple needs to find a solution for this as you are not the only one who reported this issue.
    Regards

  • Itunessetup.exe couldn't be downloaded error message for for vista.

    itunessetup.exe couldn't be downloaded error message for for vista. Couldn't get the update so I uninstalled itunes and still get the error message. I tried reconfiguring the start up components with no luck. anybody know how to fix this?

    I actually had started on this before your post but you are right. My luck created some issues but after I got around that it worked. I uninstalled everything in the order it needed to. While I was doing this windows had an update. When I restarted something must have went wrong with the update and it crashed on the start up. took me a while to restore it but when I was done it brought back the programs in their damaged state.
    So I did the uninstall process again. restarted. and reinstalled and it all works now.
    Thank you for the help.
    For those reading this the order to uninstall goes as:
    iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support, iCloud, and finally MobileMe. Skip over any you don't have installed. Then Restart then reinstall itunes.

  • HT1349 Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.

    Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
    Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Itunes + quicktime error message - service 'ipod service' (ipod service) fa

    Help! Got new iPod Nano for Christmas and I STILL cannot get it to show up in iTunes - it has showed up in my device manager - with an over the icon - "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28) To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Drivers. - Then another error - Wizard cannot find the software to instal -(my iPod did not come with a disk!!!) I have done the "R's" several times! Downloaded and installed and uninstalled several x's from iTunes. Changed USB locations - I have three to choose from. Now - I am 'repairing' the latest installation from iTunes and I get this "itunes + quicktime error message - service 'ipod service' (ipod service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". Any ideas??? I'm not a computer genious....but I'm not a complete newbie, either! I am so FRUSTRATED!!!! This should be that difficult - I added additional RAM and it was a breeze and successful! This is just ridiculous! Any one have any other ideas???? I have read so much - even emptied the battery and recharged!!! HELP! Please! I just wanna hear some music!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    Thanks - I got it to install by going into 'run' to get to permissions, etc. So that seems OK - but my computer is still not acknowledging iPod software and for some reason iTunes is now showing 'the URL could not be opened' when I go into Help for iPod. It's still not showing up in Itunes, either

  • HT4095 I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again-still nothing.

    I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again…still nothing.

    Try closing iTunes and reset your iPad. After the iPad starts up, try the download again.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iTunes app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error message said "can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing" Reinstallling has not helped. Is it Apple's fault?

    I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error Message said " Can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing". Reinstalling has NOT helped. . Is the fault with the Apple iTunes upgrade?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
