Itunes keeps getting the error report

when i try to open itunes, that annoying error report comes up saying "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvienence"... and it happens everytime.
i try to reseach about this problem, and i've called windows AND apple! NO ONE CAN FIX IT FOR ME! I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING- re-installing itunes and quicktime... but when i deleted itunes and quicktime, and tried to re-install it, it says the i already have a newer version of quicktime, so i cant install it. so, i go to delete it, and it says i already deleted it! i search my computer using the search thing on the control panel... and no quicktime comes up! but, when i try to install quicktime, it says i have already have it...
its so frustrating! i've had this problem since july 2006.. and i cant fix it. i desperatly need help... i am so stressed out because of this. please, HELP ME!! I AM SO STRESSED, FRUSTRATED, AND I AM GETTING DEPRESED- U KNOW HOW COMPUTERS ARE!! PLEASE! HELP!

oh mi gosh... i think my problem might be solved...
go to search on your computer. then type in program files. its a folder that should be in your "C" drive.... so, when u find it, click on it. and then scroll down and delete everything related to itunes... ipod, itunes, and quicktime, etc.. and if u cant delete a folder, go INTO that folder and try to delete everything... and if u still can delete it, then just cut and paste that certain file u cant delete onto your desktop. so- u should have deleted all the folders related to itunes out of program files.. and u will have some files on ur desktop. then restart ur computer. and then try to delte the files. keep restarting computer and deleting. it took me awaile. but, now i am re-installing everything, fresh. like itunes was never on my computer! i hope it works, and it should. if it doesnt, i'll cry. but try it, and tell me how it works! i'll help u if u have problems. my email is [email protected]

Upgraded to iTunes 7, get the error report window!

I just upgraded to iTunes 7 from the most recent 6 version. When I tried to open iTunes, however, I got the Windows error message, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. " In the error report, it said that the file "C:\DOCUME~1\MAXWEN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\5fa_appcompat.txt" would be included. How do I get iTunes to work again?

HT1689 I keep getting the error: Cannot connect to ITunes Store. I recently updated the iOS on the ipad3. Have tried heaps of fixes as suggested in various threads. DNS, date and time, reset etc

I am a fairly new apple user, just got the new ipad, as part of an evaluation program. I recently did an iOS update and now keep getting the error message:cannot connect to iTunes Store... I tried date changing - no good ... The only thing that worked was to change the DNS setting to 0.0.0.0 as described in another thread. This fix for a day and now still getting the same error message and DNS setting changes do nothing. I have tried the reset method several times to no avail. I'm beginning tho think the ipad wasn't a great idea.... Apple need to attend to this. Like many, I have already wasted too much time looking for a fix. I am part of an IT in education group that will soon be recommending a specific hardware and OS. Could result in the loss of thousands of ipad sales for apple ....
Anyhow... All or any suggestions are welcome :)

Also, I've just learned that I can connect to download new apps, but cannot update any apps I've downloaded in the past. How might I go about connecting my reset apple ID with its history from before it was reset? I assume that is the biggest issue.

I'm running a Windows 7 and I keep getting the error message:Apple Mobile Device failed to start. How do I download iTunes to add music to my new Iphone 5 :c

I have no idea what that mean my iPhone connects to my computer and charges and i can import pictures it just iTunes that won't work.
PLEASE I NEED HELP FROM ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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
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.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

BUMP
Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
Can anybody help me?

Just want to add that after hours of searching and following every different blog on this issue, iTunes/apple you have lost my vote. What a joke...!

I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

Hey craiglarkin,
First, I would try following along with the steps in this link:

If you end up having to remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS, make sure to follow the steps closely, including the order in which you uninstall.

I recently downloaded the latest iTunes and now keep getting the error message "A required iTunes compnent is not installed. Please re-install iTunes (-42404). I have re-installed 10x and still no luck. iTunes will not sync with my iPad. Can anyone hel

I recently downloaded and installed the latest version of iTunes and now keep getting the error message "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please re-install iTunes (-42404)".
Since this, my iPad will not sync, despite resetting it many times.
I have downloaded and installed the new iTunes more than ten times with no luck.
Please can anyone help!!!!!!!

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

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:
http://www.rarlab.com/
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, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Have a new itouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: Apple Application software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTues again. Error 2.

I have a new iTouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: "Apple Application Software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2." I have uninstalled and tried installing again and get the same error message. What do i need to do?
Lg

Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

Im trying to upgrade iTunes to v 10.6 on a windows vista pc and keep getting the error, "Invalid Drive /E". What do I do to get past this?

I'm trying to upgrade to iTunes v 10.6 on a windows vista pc and keep getting the error, "Invalid Drive/E". What do I do to get past this?

Open a Windows Command prompt, e.g. Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press OK.
Type in SUBST E: C:\<enter>
This will map E: to C: until the machine is restarted or you enter SUBST E: /D at the command prompt. Now you can try uninstalling or upgrading the software again.
(If upgrading software which lets you choose a location, install the software in the default location, not on the E:\ drive.)
See here for more info.

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Safari or iTunes.
