ITunes Keeps Needing To Be Reinstalled

Every day for the past week, I've had to nuke my iTunes install to do a full reinstall of the iTunes software.
This happened after the last update for iTunes.  I get a "cannot find GNSDK_MANAGER.DLL" error and "Error 7 (Windows Error 126)" error message.
I'm running Windows 7, if that helps any.

If you have a 64-bit machine the "for older video cards" version might prove more stable.
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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version, or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • If my itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled, will I lose all my songs? What do I need to do to keep everything?

    I cannot open itunes.  When I click on it a message pops up saying that itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.  If I reinstall it will I lose all my songs?  I have over 2,000 songs that I cannot lose!  What do I need to do to fix it and keep all my songs?

    Aha, a somewhat different question. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    Hello 19Brenda94
    Start with removing iTunes in the order of the first article states, which is iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later). Once that is done, then download iTunes 64 bit version from the second link below and run that installer.

  • My windows system needs to be reinstalled.  How will this affect my itunes and iphones?

    My windows 7 needs to be reinstalled.  I have a large itunes library and i have two iphones, an ipod, and a shuffle.  What do I need to do to keep from have files lost and other proplems with the phones if I have to fix windows.  I have experienced many many problems with itunes when I have had to move it from one computer to another.  Sometimes it loses half of my files and when I connect my Iphone it would rewrite it's memory.  I do not want to go through this again.  I do not want this to happen to my iphones.  Can anyone help?

    Hi lepyykko,
    If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right?  The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer.  Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
    Are you seeing any error messages when you try to install iTunes for Windows?

  • Iphone 5 update failed via iTunes. Needs to restore but keeps getting errors.

    Hi,
    Just tried to update my iphone 5 to iOS 6.1 through iTunes in WIndows 7. First time actually, usually I have been updating directly in the phone without any problems.
    When iTunes tried to update my phone it got an error, seems it didn't even got to begin updating it. Now iTunes keeps telling me I need to do a restore of the phone to be able to use it. Got the iTunes logo and a USB cabel on the screen.
    Anyhow, it seems to work untill it are ready to implement the restore on my phone. The apple logo and the progress bar appears but nothing happens, it just won't move.
    After a couple of minutes iTunes drops the connection to the phone and gives me an error code of 1611 and my phone goes back to the restore/recovery screen.
    Seems there is a problem with the USB transfer? The weird thing is that I've been synchronizing without any problems earlier. Though when iTunes was about to begin update it installed the Apple Mobile USB drivers again, perhaps that might be the problem?
    I have also followed steps in the support area with disabling security programs, reinstalling iTunes etc without any luck.

    Problem solved when trying restoring on another computer. Thank god!

    I cannot find "Other" devices. I found Apple Mobile Device under Universal Bus Controllers but cannot see "recovery mode" or any other status. I use Windows Vista.
    When I try to restart Apple Mobile Device Service I get the following message: "The Apple Mobile Device Service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs". What does this mean?
    During the last 48 hours I was able to see my iPad in iTunes only one time during many attemnpts to connect . I haven't been able to see it during the llast several attempts.
    Any suggestions? The standard suggestions have not worked: i.e. stop then start AMDS; tuurn off iPad and PC, then restart both and reconfrom iPad to PC; reload iTunes.

  • My iTunes keeps crashing.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled, including recreating the entire database, and it is still doing it.  I recently upgraded to 10.5.  Any ideas?

    My iTunes keeps crashing.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled, including recreating the entire database, and it is still doing it.  I recently upgraded to 10.5.  Any ideas?  I am running Windows 7 on a new, decent, laptop.  The music is on the laptop's hard drive.  There is plenty of hard drive space left.
    iTunes starts fine, and I can do stuff, then within a minute or two or three it gives me an error message pop-up. 

    The error message says:

    I've chosen both items, neither does anything but close the program.  This problem is new with iTunes 10.5; I did not have it before.

    This helped me.
    Go to Start -- Accessories -- Command Prompt, make right click and choose run as administrator
    Type this command : netsh winsock reset
    then restart your computer, everything should be ok after this. Good Luck.

    This is what worked:
    "In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
    At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
    It fixed my problem.

  • ITunes keep showing unknown error 48 while restoring iphone 4s. I've already followed applesupport suggestions of reinstalling iTunes, deleting previously downloaded ipsw on my computer and re-downloading it (countless times!) but still to no avail.

    Hi. A very much help needed.
    - iTunes keep showing unknown error (48) while restoring my iphone 4s
    - I've already re-install iTunes various times
    - Already delete previously downloaded 8.3 ipsw and re-downloaded it countless times
    - Changed and edited hosts in windows drivers as per shown on guides
    but... to no avail!!!!
    I am now without any phone to be used.
    HELP ME PLEASE

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

  • HT1473 My iTunes just started not burning my playlists to a CD saying it needs to be reinstalled.  What is wrong?

    My iTunes just started not burning my playlists to a CD saying iTunes needs to be reinstalled.  I do not  know how to reinstall with out that pop-up request.  I checked the latest version under help and I have the latest version.  I do not know how it could have created an error that will not allow me to burn my playlists to CDs.

    many thanks.
    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
