ITunes - opening, updating, uninstalling and installing
I've been having problems with uninstalling and installing iTunes. I can't even open iTunes. It started with me trying to update iTunes. I've been trying to uninstall iTunes and each time I attempt a message pops up. When I try install it from the iTunes website it begins to install and then stops and the same message pops up. When I open iTunes it begins to update then stops and the same message pops up. The gist of the message is that there is missing file and it is unable to continue because there is no privilege or permission to access. It even gives me a file name (C:/Program File/iTunes/about iTunes.rtf) that I am unable to access because there isn't permission. (Same message pops up.) PLEASE HELP! PS: How can I tell if I have a 32 bit or 64 bit Window Vista.
I am having the same problem with my Vista Ultimate PC. I have tried to correct privs issues but I'm afraid I've made things worse. In short, I am unable to run, uninstall, repair or upgrade iTunes - during each operation I get a variant of this message: The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files\*. The * may be a directory/file in the iPod directory or the iTunes directory. I have tried to take ownership of these directories but this has not corrected the problem. Any suggestions? I'm dead in the iTunes water right now. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Cannot update, uninstall or install Adobe AIR
I have a particularly puzzling problem.
AdobeAIR has never allowed me to update it. Ever. I have received countless notifications over the years, but everytime I clicked update, I received an error message. The version I have is 3.7.0.2090. I have attempted updating it to 16.0.0.273 all day. I continually receive this message:
"An error occurred while installing Adobe Air. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
I have downloaded the latest version and selected "run as administrator". That didn't work. I tried creating a new administrator account on my pc and then selected "run as administrator" using that account. All to no avail.
I figured I might uninstall the version I have, so opened control panel (I'm running Windows 7, btw) and looked for the application in the Programmes list to uninstall it. However, the app was not listed. Anywhere.
I then found, in these forums, someone had a problem with updating and/or uninstalling and attempted a manual removal of some register keys. So following their instruction, I did that. However the issues and error messages remain unchanged.
I am at a complete loss. I cannot uninstall an app that doesn't exist. But I can't update the version I supposedly have.
Any help with this troubling issue would be most welcome.
Kind regards and desperate pleas...
podge
Edit: I have also tried repairing this problem using MicrosoftFixIt. That did not help.
Log File: Adobe Air log file - Pastebin.com
Message was edited by: podgemonPlease share the exact error message which you are getting while running the application? My guess is an appropriate Adobe AIR version is required for running this application. You can use the documentation http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/troubleshoot-air-installation-windows.html and use the check the determine the version of Adobe AIR on your computer.

Why can't I open, update, uninstall or install itunes?
I can't open my itunes, I have gone through the support on Apple website, but when I try to uninstall itunes (as it says to do) it gives me an error message. I can't figure it out.
An error occured while trying to create the directory c:\Program Files\iTunes.Resousces\fi.lproj\CDPlaylistPlacard.nib
Then it tells me
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330.That error is consistent with a damaged file: c:\Program Files\iTunes.Resousces\fi.lproj\CDPlaylistPlacard.nib
First run a disk check:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315265
If that fixes errors, try installing again.
If not or the problem remains, try renaming CDPlaylistPlacard.nib
As something else.
If Windows will not allow you to do it, then rename then containing folder. This will prevent the iTunes installer seeing the damaged file. -

I bought an iphone 4s. After plugging it via usb to my computer itunes demanded to update version to 10.3 or higher. I uninstalled itunes, downloaded latest version (11.0.2) and during installation process on "activating services" it shows error message: "installation failed, verify administrator priviliges" which i have because i sign in as my pc administrator. I click on ignore and it tells me itunes has been succesfully instaled but when i try to run it it shows the error message: "apple application support was not found. It is required to run itunes. Uninstall and install itunes again. (which i have done several times) error 2 (windows error 2)." Someone please help me with this problem. Thanks.
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 instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -

I cannot uninstall or install itunes. error is 'trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable'. I cannot find path to any folders containing installation package itunes.msi. Unable to download itunes since 2 updates ago and crashed computer. Windows update as suggested in some posts does not assist either.
Can anyone assist me? Thank you so muchShould the advice above not fix things for you...
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.

Update 12.1 installed with Error 7 (Windows error 126). Reinstalled. Same error message. Uninstalled all Apple products. Reinstalled iTunes 12.1. Same error message. Updated to 12.1.1. Same error message. Uninstalled everything. Reinstalled 12.1.1. Same error message. iTunes runs and plays my music, but the error message remains. It doesn't hinder my music playing, but it is annoying. And, this is all done on my work computer. I have not unpdated iTunes on my home laptop, cause I don't want to have to deal with this error message.

When firefox updates, I cannot re-open it. It appears in the dock at the bottom, then disappears. I uninstall, re-install, but it does the same.
It opens after initial install of 3.6.8, but as soon as I add the roboform and downthemall add-ins it restarts and won't open again.
I have had these add-ins for awhile without issues, but for the past two days, I have had to reinstall it twice, and this time it won't work.hello leehuiling, what kind of security software are you using on the computer?

I have Firefox 3.6.3 running on a Toshiba Satellit laptop with Windows XP. I can't update add-ons, install google and yahoo toolbars, get any of the 3 desktop shortcuts to work or delete them, nor uninstall Firefox to try and start over. What a piece of crap! How can I wake up from this nightmare?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Every time I try to use Firefox.Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
