Trouble uninstalling - need to uninstall to fix - please help!

When I try to use itunes I get an error message saying some files are missing. I want to uninstall itunes and try reinstalling to fix the problem, but when I try to uninstall, the uninstall window opens and then does nothing - no hourglass, no movement on the progress bar, nothing.
Q1. How can I uninstall?
Q2. Do I need to uninstall in order to properly reinstall itunes?

You may need to reinstall iTunes to get the uninstaller to function. A bit circuitous, but it should work.
Then try the steps in this post: Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes

  • I have Windows Vista and when i click uninstall windows asks for permission then the usual uninstall process does not take place please help Carl

    I cant uninstall Firefox in the normal way please help, the operating system on my pc is Vista I can only get as far as allowing windows permission then nothing happens

    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.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Our iTunes will not open.  It reads that we need the English version? Please help. 
    If I download a new iTunes will I lose everything we have?

    Same issue for me.  Was running 10.5.3 due to the bug in 10.6 with Apple TV.  Upgraded to 10.6.1 since it was supposed to solve the issues.  ANd no I can;t open iTunes at all.
    Annoyed that 10.6 was shipped with the bug with the Apple TV sortting of titles.
    Really p*ssed off that 10.6.1 which was supposed to fix this has totally borken iTunes for me.
    Time to try to revert to 10.5.3 again.
    Apple, what's happened with Q/A.
    (My setup - latest patched Lion, upgraded via Automatic update; so nothing out of the ordinary.)

    Absolutely not true. There is no difference, spec wise, between the iPhone sold in Japan & the GSM iPhone sold everywhere else. iPhones in Japan use UMTS 2100.

  • So i dropped my mom's ipad and i dont know what to do... the sound and stuff works on it but the screen is black but it still has like a backlight i really need to know if this can be fixed PLEASE HELP!!!

    so i droped my mom's ipad on accedent while walking inside helping carry bags inside... and at fist no one really thought anything of it but we got inside and my stepdad went to check something on it and was like um... something wrong and i guess the fall put it into shock or something but we held down the 2 buttons and it light up but it was black and just with the back light on. And it still wont work so im not sure what to do... I know where the slide to turn it on is so i did that and it made the click noise to signal it was on and i pushed where an app would be and it went to it and made the music to the app... so it works but for some reason the screen is being all stupid... I really need to know if there is a way to fix the screen because if theres not im in a ton of trouble... please help!!!!

    I doubt there is you dropped it and broken the screen
    try holding the top button and the round button at bottom of screen
    hold both until maybe an Apple logo appears if nothing after 20 secs
    the iPad is toast
    It can be exchanged at an apple store for around $249 to $219 depending on model
    Apple do not do repairs
    I would own up now before it gets more complicated

  • Lost all printing with Leopard a few months ago, need to fix, please help.

    I think all of my printing capabilities went away a few months ago when i updated to 10.5.6. haven't been able to fix it on my own.
    I have a hp 130 and a konica 6500 with a ic-304 creo. the hp is set up from a windows printer server and connected through a networked ethernet. the creo is pretty much its own print server with ip address, also available through the windows print server.
    I go to add my printer, enter in the ip address, or browse, choose my driver, add printer, ect. if I am able to accomplish those tasks, then i attempt a print, only to have the que instantly stopped, and i can't get it to resume printing or to print.
    for the last few months, i've been using a tiger laptop, a virtual XP on the macpro, the Xp box on the konica printer and a thin client PC to print. but I'd really like to regain print functionality on the macpro and not have to deal with windows anymore.
    have tried those weird security login things that pop up when i try to resume printing: (server/username), (username/server), (guest), updating firmware, re-installed drivers.
    please help, I really don't understand security, or how to make it work with printing, or bypass it entirely. i don't know how to get printing back.

    well A.G., you are at least in luck, since its just the driver:

  • Can't uninstall itunes on windows xp.  Please help.

    I am running windows xp and cannot get itunes to uninstal using add/ remove programs. Please help.
    The error I am getting is.......The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
