Reinstall iTunes?
I updated for 8.1.1 iTunes, but everytime I try to open iTunes now it gives me "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."

I have tried all the advice I have seen on Apple Support discussion boards for the past 2 days, and nothing works. Disabling DEP is not possible, regardless of what the Windows Support discussions tell you. In the meantime, I have absolutely no access to iTunes, or even the ability to update my iPhone or iPod. The only feasable solution is the possibility of a version of iTunes that is compatable with Data Execution Prevention settings.
In the past 2 days, I have: Removed iTunes and related components from the Control Panel (numerous times) Per the instructions on Apple Service discussions pages, I did it in this order. 1. iTunes 2. QuickTime 3. Apple Software Update 4. Apple Mobile Device Support 5. Bonjour ^. Apple Application Support. After all that, I reinstalled iTunes.
Everything looks fine during installation, with no error messages. At the end, it says everything was successfully installed. However, when the installation tool closes, iTunes will only partially open a window, but will stay blank. Then I get the message that iTunes has stopped working and that Windows has shut it down. Then I get notified that DEP has caused iTunes to shut down.
Can someone please help? Or, is there a DEP compatible version of iTunes?
I would appreciate any help. Thanks!!Polydorus,
Thank you for your kind reply. During the many times I uninstalled iTunes, and all the other Apple programs, I only used the Uninstall Programs in Windows Control Panel. To make a long story short, I found a solution that works for me, but it is still not a complete soluton.
Here is what I did:
I used Uninstall Program in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall everything IN THIS ORDER
1. iTunes
2. QuickTime
3. Apple Software Update
4. Apple Mobile Device Support
5. Bonjour
6. Apple Application Support
Then I went to C:\Program Files and looked for any iTunes or Apple program listed there and deleted it.
I have 64-bit, so I then went to C:\Program files (x86) and looked for any iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour or any other file or folder that had Apple or any Apple program in the name and deleted it.
I went to C:\Windows|SysWOW64\Quicktime and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuicktimeVR and deleted them
Go back to START, and open the "C" drive. Open the USERS folder. Open the folder with your username. Open the AppData folder. Then double-click on the LOCAL folder to open it. If you see any files or folders there that show any Apple program or file, delete those files or folders. Then go to the REMOTE folder and do the same. If there are any other users on this computer, go to each individual user and do the same thing in each LOCAL and REMOTE folder. Restart your computer.
Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ This is the page where you will actually download iTunes. Scroll down the page to the section under "Windows Software" that says "64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer". Click on that line to get the installer. It will take you to another download window.
Scroll to the bottom of the page to the message that says "Download for iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows (64-bit) here: iTunes for Windows 64-bit." Click there to get the download.
This is not iTunes 10.5, so you will not have access to "The Cloud", but it is at least functional until Apple actually comes out with a version that will not activate the DEP message. There was no combination of uninstalling and reinstalling, with or without Quicktime, with 10.5 that did not cause problems with Data Execution Prevention problems that I found.
I also used Firefox for the downloading instead of Internet Explorer. It just seemed to function better that way.
I hope this is helpful to someone. It's just what worked for me. -
I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.
Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info. -
Since reinstalling itunes i can no longer sync. Error message says already synced with another itunes library. I get a blank sync - no songs, photos ect as it comes up with this error whenever try to select what is to be synced. Help - lost everything. Complete nightmare - Apple sort a fix NOW, but will take any help

Error 2330, Windows Vista - Can't uninstall or Reinstall ITunes
Itunes was working fine for quite awhile, but now when I access the store to download another song the store shows up but almost immediately blanks out to a white screen with only header info on it, no details.
When Itunes starts up, I get a message saying that there is a problem with the installation and CD downloads will not work.
I have tried reinstalling Itunes and Quicktime from the apple website. Also, uninstalling both from the Windows control settings. QT gets uninstalled and reinstalled fine. I get error 2330 with no other information when trying to reinstall or uninstall Itunes.
Have tried clearing out the TEMP folder and also doing selective startup as directed on the apple help tips. Still no luck.
Does anyone have suggestions how to resolve the 2330 error and why I am getting it?
THANK YOU !!I had this same issue with the iTunes store loading then going to a blank white screen straight after. I then checked for updates, installed everything it told me to (Safari, Quicktime, iTunes). However after everything installed it cut my internet connection. I was able to browse the internet for about a minute before I completely lost my internet connection.
I called my router manufacturer, they could not resolve my issue as the other PC's could access the internet so I knew it was iTunes/Safari/Quicktime. I did a system restore (I am using Windows Vista), that did not work. I searched on the other PC for help and found somewhere to uninstall network adaptors under the device manager. That just took away all my applications that pointed towards the internet so I did another system restore to bring them back, but this however fixed my issue. I did have to re-access my router from my computer by prompting it to reconnect to my ISP and then I got my internet back.
But, I can't access my iTunes or listen to my music. -
I just updated iTunes to the 11.1.4.62 (as the pop up directed me to) on my Windows 8 machine. As a result iTunes will no longer recognize my 5th generation Ipod Nano (yes two). I receive a pop up saying "Ipod has been detected but could not be identified properly" I've followed the recommendations seveal times: a) disconnected and reconnected. b) rebooted computer c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes d) tried different cables e) tried different USB porst f) rebooted Ipod.... the window keeps popping up like a middle finger (you get the point)
iTUnes WILL however, recognize my 4th gen Nano and my 80gb Video (classic) without problem
Needless to say, I'm frustrated and ticked off over all of this wasted time.
Anyone solved this issue yet?
Any good suggestions?
Please advise
Kindest regards,c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Upgrading OS - How do I get all my music back into reinstalled iTunes?
Hi. We are upgrading my operating system from Windows 2000 to XP on my computer that currently runs iTunes. I have my entire iTunes folder backed up on another computer. I know I'll probably have to reinstall iTunes after the OS is upgraded. But how do I add all that music back into the new version of iTunes? We won't be replacing the hard drive, so all that music should still be on the same computer.
When I reinstall iTunes, will it automatically add the music back, or will I have to do that manually? If so, how do I do it? Just go to the "Add a folder" option in iTunes and add the entire iTunes folder? If I do that, my playlists should be restored since I have the .itl file in that folder, right?
This is so confusing.Install iTunes.
Copy the backed up iTunes folder into My Documents/My Music. -
A few weeks ago an itunes upgrade did not install properly on my PC so I had to uninstall itunes and everything associated with it. I was able to reinstall itunes and it works fine including syncing with my ipod. However, now whenever I open my email (outlook) a box pops up stating MobileMe Services has stooped working. This happens a couple of times after I click to close the program. This a nusance and really slows down getting to my email. From what I've found MobileMe was something that used to be used by itunes to sync mobile devices but is no longer used by itunes. I can't find a way to remove this MobileMe from my PC. I've tried going into Contol Panel then Programs and Features to uninstall it but there is no button there to uninstall it. Any suggestions on how this can be removed?
Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

Hello.
I am having an issue with iTunes seeing my music on my server because when I directed iTunes to the location of my music folder it installed an iTumes folder and doubled up size of the music in the folder causing an issue with the amount of space left on the HDD. I was unaware that iTunes did this and would like to start all over again but have the iTunes folder on a different HDD from the HDD with the music on it.
Am I asking for something that is not able to be accomplished or is there a way to do this?
I am unable to keep the music on my laptop because the HDD is setup in a triple boot(XP, Vista, Win7) and each partition has less than 50GB of space left in it and I have alot more music than I have space.
I have readjusted the files on my server as I used to share some of my documents on the HDD where the music was located but there still is an issue with space once iTunes doubles up the files. I have a HDD attached to the server specifically for iTunes once I get this issue solved with more than enough space.
I would like to get this issue solved so that I can install iTunes on my identity on my wife's computer and want to be able to direct iTunes to the locations of files and folders without any conflicts.Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Had to get new hard drive and need to reinstall iTunes
My very new PC went beserk and I had to get a new hard drive. Everything off the old drive is irretrievable. I have my iTunes library backed up to an external drive (everything is also on my iPod). However, I don't want to have to "count" the new computer as one of the five machines on which I can copy my iTunes library, since it's not technically a "new" computer but just a replacement of my not-so-old one, which was barely 9 months old before it went kaput. Is there a way to reinstall iTunes and my library without getting dinged for yet another transfer of the library? Thanks.
Hi I can't figure out how to post a question of my own, so I'm asking it on this one because it is close to mine.
I just switched from a Sony Viao to a MBP, and tried to transfer my ITunes library from the Sony to my new MBP using a USB stick. I put all the music in my music library onto the stick, it said that it used 4.99 GB, and when I tried to put the music onto my MBP it only added 1.98 GB.
I thought that maybe the music it wasn't transferring was the music I purchased on my earlier laptop, but it transfered a few of my movies that I purchased off of ITunes. Please Help? -
Trying to Reinstall iTunes: Can't find it after Download
This morning I tried to update iTunes. It failed. I got a message to reinstall iTunes. I've removed iTunes from the computer and downloaded the installer but it does not appear in Downloads or Desktop. Where would it be?
I have faced such kind of issue while downloading iTunes it says thank you for downloading tunes but it does not get downloaded not sure why that happens but you can download iTunes from "filehippo" just search for filehippo on google and go to www.filehippo.com and from there in the search box search for iTunes and download iTunes 32 bit or 64 bit according to your windows version. You can find windows version by right click on My Computer and then Properties.

I have also reinstalled iTunes dozens (literally) of times. I simply cannot resolve this conflict. I've looked on many other websites, and there seems to be no solution!
update .netframework to latest version
then
Follow the instructions on this link, basically un-install everything, remove programs that says they are made by apple inc. (using add remove program)
http://www.reimageplus.com/fix-windows-127-error/ (Many thanks to reimageplus.com)
You will also need to check and verify that the following folders have been removed:
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
C:\Program Files\iTunes
C:\Program Files\iPod
C:\Program Files\QuickTime
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
dont forget to remove icloud also
you dont need to delete your itune music library though
If any of these folders still exist, delete them along with their contents. (if you cant delete them, right click and go to properties and then security and change the control of the fold to you)
do this for files under program files and program file (x86) on your computer
once you have deleted everything, restart your computer. Then I repaired my registry using a registry repair program.
Important:- instead of installing itunes I installed quick time, which installs apple application support (this is the corrupt file which is causing all the issues)
i then installed itunes and it all worked fine,
should take no longer than half hour to fix
hope this helps -
My apple tv quit working and I have done everythng listed on Apple's site as well as other help sites and nothing has fixed the problem. I have restarted and reset the apple tv, I have reinstalled itunes and I turned off and reset my router. All to no avail. Any suggetions?
Port is open and router recognizes the Apple TV. I noticed on the web that certain Apple TV's had problems and Apple was replacing the units. I am going to take the unit to the Apple Store and have the it checked to see if it is one of the units that don't work with the latest version of itunes.

I purchased audiobooks through iTunes and Audible.com. I have had to reinstall iTunes in the past and all the audiobooks remained in place. This is the first time I have lost them ALL. Help!!
Mortimer, iTunes does not know when you restore a file. After you restore the file, you need to re-add the file to iTunes.
If you know exactly which files you restores, re-add them using File > Add File to LIbrary.
Otherwise, lre-add the folders. iTunes has certain safeguards to reduce duplicates when you do this, which are not perfect but are better than nothing. Start with a few small folders and see if you are happy with the results. -
When checking my computer it is not recognizing the ipod input under devices. Also when reinstalled itunes I have about three other peoples libraries on my share. First of all, what do I need to do to get my computer to recognize the ipod. Second what do I have to do to get rid of the other library's. Third what do I have to do to get the ipod to sync with the itunes.
Thanks

I had to take my hp back to factory setting and reinstall itunes, when I tried to use Itunes match it said i had to Deauthorize all my computers. I am using the same computer and desperately need access to my music.
When you reset to factory settings, the computer is de-authorised.
In iTunes menu Store > View Account > sign in > App Store > Deauthorise All.
Once done, authorise this computer iTunes.
Note: you can only do that once a year.
