PLEASE HELP ME with my itunes installation

I am so frustrated and have spent hours on this. I have windows XP on an HP computer. I have a 2nd generation click ipod and wanted to put new CD music on it. I had itunes 7 and used it frequently. A message popped up and asked me if I wanted to download the new itunes 8 so I tried, and that was a huge mistake. I have spent hours trying to get this to work. I have read through all the threads and have tried everything: uninstalling my old quicktime, uninstalling my old itunes; going to windows cleanup and removing all that have anything to do with itunes; stopped the popup protection; went to msconfig to set the computer to normal startup mode in general tabs. removed anything to do with itunes or quicktime.
I installed the 7 version of quicktime first and then the itunes. I get an error message "quicktime failed to initialize (error-2096) reinstall....
this is the same error message that I got before I did all of the above. I can't speak to anybody at Apple about this and don't know what to do. I had been thinking of getting the new itouch, but now I don't know. I don't even have my itunes anymore (it has been days) and who knows where my library of songs is and if they would still be in itunes somewhere. I am not computer savey and just would like this to be fixed. I would appreciate any simple help I could get to solve this problem.

I finally got this resolved.

  • Someone please help me with my iTunes 5.0.2 problem.

    I recently updated my itunes to 5.0.2 unfortunately I forgot to restart the computer. I had other updates waiting to be restarted and I put my laptop to sleep and when I opened it, it started configuring and installing. Now once you close itunes for the first time it doesnt reopen again or when it does it is unresponsive unless you restart the computer. I have uninstalled and installed it several times but nothing seems to work, I think it has something to do with a corrupted file. Can anyone please help me fix this?

    Right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run as Administrator".

  • My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV.  Can someone please help me with a solution?  Thanks.

      First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes.  I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook. 
      Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from.  But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
      Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad).  It does not show up on my Apple TV as well.  If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
      I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me.  I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad.  I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this?  Your consideration is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

  • Please help me with the installation process.

    i have got free norton antivirus activation keybwith the pirchase of hp 16 gb pendrive .
    please help me with the installation process.

    Hey @10p,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you need assistance with the installation of Norton Antivirus that you received with the purchase of an HP 16gb Pendrive. Did you get the Pendrive with a computer or just purchase the Pendrive on its own?
    Once I know if the Pendrive came with the purchase of a computer I will be able to point you in the right direction for support. Good luck!

    I don't understand; two days ago you wrote that you have it, now you don't...?
    If you don't have it, then why not deploy the current version 12.1.3.153 - I don't see the point of installing an old, unsecure software version.

  • Please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"

    Can anyone please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"
    I've followed the instructions by removing all Apple files from my laptop, but when I reinstall the iTunes software it still comes up with this message:
    "Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2"
    Thank you

    iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
    I know this is a bit late but I came accross this thread trying to resolve this same problem and came up with a solution that worked for me, so thought I would share it here too. I hope it helps someone else.
    I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
    Problems:
    The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
    The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
    This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
    Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070BC9. Assembly interface: IassemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {837BF1EB-D770-94EB-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
    Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
    Solution:
    Through this error I found this MSKB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
    The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
    Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
    I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\
    PendingXmlIdentifier
    NextQueueEntryIndex
    AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
    Reboot and reinstall iTunes.
