Itunes files missing says to reinstall itunes
hi my itunes is saying that there are missing files and to reinstall... however it won't reinstall!!! any suggestions???
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular

- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

What does required files missing need to reinstall itunes mean?
I tried to open iTunes and it said that ome files are missing and I need to re-install my iTunes. Does anyone know why it says this? and what to do to fix the problem? Besides, of course, re-intsalling iTunes.
It means you have some corrupted files in your (Program files),
easiest way to fix this is downloading iTunes again, and re-install it. -
Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.' Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times. Now what?
I figured it out. A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help. So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean. And it worked. I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked! And I lost nothing from my account.
Maybe this info will help others. -
When i try to start itunes i get a message saying that the MSVCR80.dll file is missing and to reinstall itunes. When I try to reinstall itunes it tells me that I have an Error 7 (windows error 126). Can anybody tell me what this means? Thanks
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.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I am constantly getting a message which says "iTunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled a number of times and re-booted but it only seems to last a short time. How do I fix it?
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?

last night i wanted to update my ipad to 4.3 and when i tried to; it told me i had to download the new itunes too. so i tried downloading the new updated version on itunes, and this morning when i tried to open my itunes it said "itumes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." what do i do?
With that one, I think we should try getting the malware possibilities off the table first.
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.)

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. -
I received an online gift card for Father's Day. When I tried to redeem the gift then I received a error message saying I had some itune files missing and I needed to reinstall/download itunes. Will I still have my previous purchase credits after downloading and reistalling itunes?
You will, because the credited funds are on your iTunes account, not the application. When you reinstall iTunes just configure it with your old iTunes account and your credits will be there waiting for you.

when upgrading to newest version of itunes, it will not open due to MSVCR80.dll is missing. it says to reinstall which I did but program still will not open.
Hey there dstenn,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Fakt:
iTunes 10.6.1.7 Fehlermeldung: "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
Jeder Versuch iTunes zu starten war bisher vergeblich: unter anderem auch das Vorgehen nach Artikel HT1925 der knowledge base.
Frage:
Windows XP Neuinstallation und/oder Installation einer älteren iTunes-Version als letzter Ausweg?Antwort und Lösung eine Woche später:
Deinstallation und Neuinstallation von iTunes 10.6.1.7 produziert dieselbe Fehlermeldung.
Es hilft nur eine Reparatur von iTunes unter Systemsteuerung / Software. Allerdings muss hier Windows XP mit Hilfe von Ausführen / msconfig im benutzerdefinierten Modus erneut gestartet werden - ohne APSDaemon, Avira und Skype zu laden!
Die Fehlermeldung unterblieb, die Reparatur schritt voran, meldete Erfolg und benannte eine wohl defekte Datenenbank unter C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccountName\My Documents\My Music\iTunes um in:

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.

ITunes (11.3 64bit) cannot run because some its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.
just set up my new laptop lenovo x240.
Windows 7 SP1.
itunes 64bit 11.3
first install went fine. then I tried to move my preexisting library. the library did not show the apps. so I tried around. Treid to re-install itunes.
Since I did, after the re-install, iTunes gives me the error message "iTunes cannot run because some its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
I tried the -_> link: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
unfortunately it did not resolve. please, advise... I am quite desperate... and surprised this is happening, since I am on a clean corporate laptop.
perhaps, can someone also steer me to a corner, where I can deactivate the cloud install pop-up ones starting iTunes?See the advice given in the user tip:Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for a very workable approach.
