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!!

Re: Trying to install DW CS3 on new Mac, get this message:Startup error,Required resources are missing

Hello,
I am reading your thread here and I am having problems reinstalling CS3 after I did a migration from old iMac to new iMac (which rendered the installed CS3 unusable). I have "required resources are missing" error message when trying to reinstall from purchased CD. Please suggest how to help. thanks,

Cyntlee33 the simplest option is to restore your new computer back to a clean install of Mac OS 10.7. Then use the migration assistant again to move over only documents and settings.
Your other option, which might end up expending a lot of additional time if it fails, would be to try using the CS5 cleaner tool to attempt to remove the files which were transferred over by the migration assistant.
I would highly recommend the first option. During my time with support some of the most difficult issues I have dealt with were from users who used some type of migration utility and then their software did not perform properly on the new computer.

Required resources are missing. Can't reinstall CS3

I had to erase my HD. When I tried to reinstall CS# I keep getting a message "required resources are missing"
I've tried from my DVD and from a fresh file (2.3GB ); no luck. Please help
I tried to confirm the uninstall, but it was no help.

rpaitich,
There are quite different experiences with the seeming compatibility between Yosemite and the different CS versions,
You may wish to roll back from Yosemite to Mavericks and wait to see whether your issue will be solved and reported as such.
Weeding out in older plugins seems to have helped some in some cases. It also seems that JAVA Runtime may be involved, for some it seems to help to roll back to an ealier version, for others to update to the newest. And at least for some, it has made a real difference to download the JAVA from Oracle rather than from Apple.
All the above is more or less hearsay so far, with no definite final confirmation.
In any case, there is something to be sorted out by someone.
On the other hand, this website seems to indicate that someone has made Yosemite work with almost all CS/CC versions.

For each version, different issues may come down to some specific and maybe inconspicuous detail(s).
Allycs has the solution of CS3 just crashing on startup in post #10 in this thread:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1610653
1) Open System Preferences > Java
2) Wait for the Java Control Panel to load
3) Open Adobe Illustrator (while keeping the Java Control Panel window open)

Required resources are missing

install crashes with error msg "required resources are missing" when using original CS3 DVD being reinstalled on new iMac OSX 10.9. Could it be that I have a problem with CS3 version that was automatically migrated from older machine? Reinstalled LR5 and it worked. Photoshop and ID worked without reinstall. Migrated CS3 dreamweaver gives error 65016 when launched. Guess I really only need DW. Thanks.

Rhuel you can download the Creative Suite 3 installation files at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html. Please make sure to download the installation files applicable for the softare title or suite which you purchased.
If you continue to face difficulties then please run any available Adobe uninstaller available in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. You will want to follow this by running the CC Cleaner Tool. Details regarding the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
In general it is recommended to install Adobe software on the new computer as opposed to migrating/copying the applications from one computer to another.

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.

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?

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?

ITunes Error Message required files are missing - can't run

Plugged my iPod Nano in and my iTunes gives error "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes". Tried to reinstall iTunes and get same error.

Old question. I solved the problem myself.

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.

ITunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.....

"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
Is the error message I receive when trying to launch iTunes or updating my iPod.
I have tried uninstalling both iTunes and qtime, restarting, installing with the iTunes75Setup.exe found on the iTunes download page from apple.com.
To help narrow the issue, during install/uninstall/repair this error also occurs as it is "Registering iTunes automation server"
any suggestion on how to resolve this issue would be great

First uninstall Quicktime 7.3 only in control panel. Then download Quicktime 7.2 from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktimeforwindows.html. Hopefully it works for you because it worked for mine.

ITunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. How

I have tried the "repair" option to fix my "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing error message." No luck. I have rebooted. No luck. I am afraid to reinstall iTunes. I have already lost my music once when I fried my computer. I don't want to have to purchase my music AGAIN. Is this really the only way to fix this? Do I have to uninstall before I re-install?

There are a few ways to fix this. For me, going to add/remove programs and then clicking on itunes, CHANGE, then REPAIR worked. I was also getting an issue that after a few days or a reboot, it would kill itself again..
Others have to completely uninstall itunes and quicktime, erase their program files directories, then reinstall quicktiem first then itunes.
Others have to uninstall itunes, go to internet explorer and clear the recent downloads and the cache, then close ie, redownload, and then install itunes.
Good luck!

"iTunes cannot run because some of it required files are missing."

I first plugged in my iTouch to update and got an error message. Close iTunes and tried to re-open and got that error message: "iTunes cannot run because some of it required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." Obviously tried uninstalling and reinstalling and repairing. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime by itself no luck. Not sure what happened, hopefully this can be fixed quick.
Thanks,
Colby

Close iTunes and tried to re-open and got that error message: "iTunes cannot run because some of it required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
I don't like that one on modern versions of iTunes. If files *really were* missing, the modern versions would be much more likely to attempt to do a repair install of themselves when you went to launch them.
We'd better check for malware. (I've seen this crop up for at least one chap in the context of a Backdoor.Bot infection.)
Download and install the free version of Malwarebytes. Update your Malwarebytes definitions and then run a full scan.

Does Malwarebytes pick up any infections? If so, what does it call the infections?

Itunes cannot run because some of the required files are missing?

This morning when I turned on my computer my itunes was suddenly not working. When I double click the desktop icon to open it up, I get an error message that reads:
iTunes cannot run because some of the required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.
I searched the FAQ archive and still cannot find an answer to my problem.
THe last part of the error message says to reinstall itunes, but I cannot even get the corrupt version off. Is there anyway to save the music I have on here? Another user and I have separate iTUnes music, so a great deal of music will be lost, including things recently purchased.

Thank you so very much. I don't know why I didn't think of that but it is up and running fine now

"iTunes can not run because some of the required fields are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." What the ****?!

"iTunes can not run because some of the required fields are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." What the ****? Please help me figure this out. I already removed quicktime (as another thread suggested). I can't get in!

i get same error.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled more times than i care to count. but still i get
