ITunes Helper is not running

For some reason my new iPod Touch was having problems registering. It finally registered but it has named my info "owner" instead of my actual name which all my other iPods were named under. Does this have anything to do with iTunes helper not working? Either way how do I correct my name and get iTunes Helper to start working again? Thanks.

Hi, bab50.
I would recommend uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified of the articles below. Once you completely uninstall, download iTunes and install the program again.

Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

If you an error message when uninstalling one of the programs, see the article below.

"Itunes helper is not running" has a red light on under the Support services catergory of device connectivity test during Diagnostics check

When I ran the itunes Diagnostics Test for my new ipad, I had one test result that had a button in front of the test name, which was red.
The test was in the Device Connectivity Tests Portion, under the Support Services Category, Titled " itunes Helper is not running ".
What does this mean and how can I correct this situation, so the itunes helper is running?
Thank you vtdubu

My latest itune update wil not run, error message An

My latest itunes update will not run, erro message reads An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorectly.

Hi,
In addition to what Lewis mentioned, please also take a try with the following suggestions:
Method 1.
Change the settings to "Never check for updates (not recommended)", click OK, and then change it back to "Install updates automatically". After that, click check for updates.
Method 2.
Update Windows Defender first:
1. Make sure time is sync. 2. Update Windows defender first, then click check for updates.
Method 3. rebuild the SoftwareDistribution folder:
Goto start > type services.msc
Scroll down to find Windows Update service
make sure Windows Update service is stopped, else right click and stop it
Go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ and delete all files in it
Come back to services.msc and start Windows Update
service
Hope this may help

Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
Please someone help ...
Thanks.

Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)
"Invalid drive X:\" install errors

When starting Window XP on my laptop (which was connected, in the past, in a wi-fi network now no more available) appears immediatly this allert: "iTunes Helper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. ERROR 7." Reistallation impossible!

Reistallation of older or up to date iTunes versions is impossible because: "Installation package iTunes.msi is located on a network resource not available" and because "It is impossible to remuove thew previous verson of iTunes. Impossible fto find the path."
Someone can help me ???
Thank,

Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.
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 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.

Itunes helper was not installed correctly. Error 7 (windows error 14001) ?

Upgraded to ITUNES 10 and received following error - Itunes helper was not installed correctly. Error 7 (windows error 14001) - have tried uninstalling all APPLE products, restarting etc and installing ITUNES and QUICKTIME separately yaddah yaddah - NO SUCCESS. Losing patience ?

have tried uninstalling all APPLE products,
Doublechecking. Were you using the instructions from the following documents?
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
(Doublechecking, because an error 7 off ituneshelper normally indicates trouble with Apple Application Support. If something else is going on, it's pretty exotic.)

1password support was useless. didnt even know a piece of their own software. suggested it was a ffox profile issue. red herring.

Windows 7, 64 bits, iTunes 10.7, not run

windows 7, 64 bits, iTunes 10.7, not run
I upgrade iTunes to 10.7 and since then, iTunes not run
I try several times, unistall and install
I downgrade to iTunes 10.6 but still not running

Many thanks.
Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

I ran a diagnostics test & it said iTunes Helper is not working. How do I rectify this? Also, I recently updated iTunes & I hadn't done it for three years prior & now to burn a CD of i8 songs is taking me 13 min. instead of 2-3 min. like it should. What is going on? My friend is having the same problem.

ITunes No Longer Runs--iTunes Helper Resources Not a Valid File Name

I made a dumb mistake (I think) and tried to install iTunes onto an SD card. At first, my computer would only let me open iTunes if the SD card was installed. I tried to reinstall to the C drive, but keep getting the "I Tunes Helper Resources not a Valid File Name" message. At this point I want to uninstall everything and start over, but I'm afraid I'll lose my music. I still have all the files but, of course, none will open since I don't have a properly installed iTunes anymore. Would appreciate any assistance in uninstalling, reinstalling and saving my current music files.

Here's what I decided to do. Fortunately, all the files were still available, so I simply backed them up from my iTunes Music Library onto a 32 GB flash drive then transferred the new stuff onto an older computer in my office with an older version of iTunes. I had to do this in several shifts since I have more than 32GB of music. Everything that transferred plays well. Next I'll try to wipe iTunes completely off the new computer, reinstall an older version of iTunes and then reload all the files onto the new computer. What a PITA!

Just recently iTunes has been giving me this error message: "iTunes helper was not installed correctly." And then another message on top of that: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 14001)

I have tried everything ....I need step by step instructions because I need my itunes back up and running! thanks

im getting the same error,but the update windows .NET framework is still not working, downloaded 2 Microsoft .net framework as suggested by apple support KB article, no go, didnt try creating a new user yet but since its still not working as tested its no use.please help need to update get my iTunes back and update my devices to iOS 5. reinstalled Quicktime and give me error : Please install Apple Application Support. TWO days now im getting crazy. no itunes no Quicktime, possiby no apples in the future

Itunes help is not working in 10.5.

Recently I updated to itunes 10.5.
When I click on "itunes help" it opens a window that reads:
Not Found
The requested URL /itunes/win/10.5/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (Oracle) Server at help.apple.com Port 80
Anybody else having this problem? Would like to fix it without reinstalling the whole application.

This may be considered a valuable clue and in my mind points to being a bug in the mail tool itself. I noticed that in my case there was special formatting in the email I was composing. I had started lines with bold texted characters then tabbed over to write text in default format. Above the format changes I was getting the word wrap I would expect. Below the special characters I was getting the anomalous behavior of words being split by wrap.

ITunes 10 will not run on Windows 7, 64 bit

I have upgraded to itunes 10 and now it will not run. In task manager the process is running but no programme. i uninstalled all itunes, quick step, bonjour and apple folders. Then tried a clean instal of itunes 10. Still didn't work. Uninstalled again and reloaded v 9.2 and it works. Tried disabling bonjour and ran the instal of 10 again and it still doesn't work. This is becoming a major pain as I am stuck on v9.2.

Try installing the version 10 again so we can check on a few other characteristics of the problem, seeoh.
(1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
(2) Try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
