Need help deleting CS4 when getting error: Required Files are missing
Trying to delete CS4 off my computer.
The uninstaller will not launch on any program - I'm getting an error saying required files are missing to launch the programs.
Anyone know a work around? I know I can drag some files from Applications to the trash, but I want to get everything in all the areas of the computer since I'm trying to reclaim used HD storage. I'm on a Macbook, OS 10.10.2
Thanks,
Scott
Irrelevant. Your install never worked right in the first place after upgrading to 10.10.. Simply trash the files.

Tried loading the latest version of itunes but the download would not complete. Now when I connect my phone to a usb i get an error stating required files are missing, reinstall itunes. I tried that but the reinstall keeps timing out?
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 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.

I have an older iPod (2005). After years of inactivity I tried to install the cd on my PC. I get the following error message, after several attempts to install: iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please re install iTunes.
Did you follow the exact instructions in this Apple support document to remove and re-install iTunes and ALL other Apple software on your XP machine?

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.
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.)

"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing." Help!!
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing." Help!!
Hello everyone, I have looked throughout this forum but couldn’t find anything similar so I am posting this in the hope of someone helping me out.
I have encountered some problems with iTunes (most recent edition) after doing a Dell update which seems to have knocked something out with iTunes.
Whenever I hit the iTunes icon it refuses to run and iTunes displays the following message:-
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
I don’t want to reinstall itunes from fresh as this will mean losing all the records and playlists that I have spent the last 3 years using.
I first want to try by getting my old one back by any means neccessary.
Like I said this problem first happened after a standard Dell update.
I do have the option of doing a restore with the Dell or using Windows Vista restore itself but I fear I do not have enough disk space.
On the Dell update I can restore to settings of a previous date which might bring iTunes back but when attempt to do
that I keep getting the following message,
"Not enough free disk space to back up"
Around this time I am given a lists of what will be backed up and this readsas follows:-
Pics 2.87gb
Music 71.72gb
Videos 330.57mb
Documents 219.11mb
Email etc 203.64mb
How do I free up disk space to do the back up? An external hard drive?? If I baIs there anyway of getting a previous version of iTunes back?
My drive information is as follows:-
C Drive: Very little room - red warning - 5.67gb of 138gb
D Drive: 6.34gb of 9.99 free
Do I have too much music?
Ideally don't want to reinstall itunes as is a ball ache, and it has all the playlists etc so if there is
a way of restoring and getting back iTunes either via restoring system to the prior date when iTunes was ok.
C drive is really full now. How can I clean this up and make more room? Do I need to add memory? Are all the songs
causing the problem? What advise can you give me? Please help.
Thanks!Nodders:
I've recently had exactly the same message as you, after iTunes updated to 10.1.1.4. First of all, I checked the *My Music* folder to make sure it was still there - it was. (I do have a back up of that folder anyway!)
I then chose the re-install iTunes option and a pop-up box asked if I wanted to uninstall iTunes or repair it. I (obviously) chose repair and I'm pretty sure what happened was that the install process simply re-installed a damaged (or missing) file. It far too quick to be a fresh install. My library was intact.
So my advice(for what it's worth) is take the re-install option and then repair option. I can't guarantee anything, but ...
By the way, after I experienced a recent hard drive failure, I decided to invest in a 1TB external drive to back up my iTunes library and personal files because it's a much easier way of backing up than my previous method. Luckily, I only lost a small recent part of my library, but it taught me a lesson. Back up regurlarly, using a larger hard drive than you are using on your computer (which allows you to keep the most recent and +next most recent+ back-ups, and don't rely on Windows to do the backing up. Find a suitable backup piece of software. (My hard drive came with s/w built in.)

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. -
ERROR - "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing."
Every time I open iTunes I'm getting the following error:
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
This started after I installed iTunes 8.0.2.20 on my PC (running Windows XP SP3) to get the latest version after purchasing an iPhone.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, & fixing iTunes. I've also tried uninstalling & reinstalling Quicktime using versions 7.3.1.70 & 7.55.90.70. With 7.3.1.70 installed I got an error stating something like iTunes 8.0.2.20 is only compatible Quicktime 7.55.90.70 & to reinstall iTunes.
No matter what I do the same error message appears whenever I try to access iTunes.
I can get into iTunes immediately after an install if I remove Quicktime & clean my Windows registry but if I then close iTunes & reopen it I get the missing file error.
I'm not having this problem with my wife's PC running Vista & iTunes 8.0.2.20.
This is starting to get VERY frustrating. Please, if anyone can help I would GREATLY appreciate it.Seriously ***!!!
I thought I hit some gold with this:
http://zardozz.com/zz/2008/04/how-to-completely-uninstall-and-remove-all-traces- of-itunes.html
I picked up Revo Uninstaller per the above directions here:
http://www.download.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html
& proceeded setting to work cleaning out the complete Apple suite as directed. 5 hours later, after downloading a brand new copy of iTunes, & having supposedly removed all traces of anything Apple, I'm right back where I was, getting the same "required files are missing" error!
I've got a $300 iPhone that I can't use properly because their software won't play nice.
Like I said at the beginning of this post ***! Now I'm beginning to move from agitated to flat out angry! >:-(
Does ANYONE know what else I can try, or if there is a phone number I can call to get some technical support from Apple? -
Startup error required resources are missing
Heyelp!! I purchased CS 5.5 for my new mac running OSX 10.7.3 installed CS5.5 and it is wonderful. Problem is I prefer Dreamweaver 3 because of the frames thing, so, I thought I would reinstall CS3 and just add Dreamweaver 3, problem is when I do it reads Startup Error, required resources are missing, so, I decided to call Adobe. The response was "we no longer provide support for 3, if you cannot find a solution on the forum there is nothing you can do." Well, $1300 doesn't get you much these days, so Dear Forum readers, any possibility of a leg up here? Thankyou!!

You should first uninstall iTunes completely.

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?
