Trying to update now iTunes is gone

I tried the most recent update and it didnt complete, now the iTunes icon is gone and in looking at the program files it won't appear there either.  In trying to reinstall it won't let me as I need to delete the previous program files first but I can't locate them to delete.  HELP!

Can you explain in a bit more detail what you are trying to do?
Are you running a windows update?
Or did you download a full version of iTunes and the process failed?
If you just did an update and it failed, have you tried to install iTunes using the full installer downloaded from Apple website?

Yes, I understand all that, but if it is not listed there and the icon is not available on the desktop then there is no way to uninstall it and it will not allow me to reinstall as it says it must be installed first.

  • Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

    Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

    If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.

    Isn't that only used when a PC will not boot?
    What options does booting with this give me?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    USB recovery disk was used to recover your system when it encounter problem. You can try to use it to fix your problem instead reinstall system. However, there is no method to keep your program whenreinstall system.

  • I tried to update the iTunes software on my iPhone today, and now the phone won't work unless I "restore" it.  I don

    I tried to update my iTunes software on my iPhone today and plugged it into my laptop.  Before the process was complete, I received an error message saying I had to "restore" my iPhone before it would work with iTunes.  Even more importantly, and troublesome, is the fact that now my phone won't even work at all.  I can't turn the iPhone on, and all the screen shows is the iTunes icon with a picture of the white power cord.  Can someone advise if there is a way to update the software without restoring my iPhone, which will cause me to lose everything on the phone (much of which I have not backed up yet)?  Last, is my stuff already backed up by iCloud?  I believe I have sellected that option on my phone, but honestly, have never really understood what iCloud is or does.  Thanks in advance for any assistance/advice.

    my phone wil not turn on after trying to update now all it de si tell me to plug into itunes which i have ready done and still nothing happens can you help

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time.

    I have updated my iphone 5 with IOS7. Now there is an update 7.0.2 on my cell and the size of update file is showing around 21.0 MB. I tried to update it ITunes but it seems it is downloading the entire IOS. Is there any separate update for the same or I have to download the entire IOS again?

    Well when you download the update with iTunes it will always download the whole new version (in your case 7.0.2) even if its just an bug fix. If you already have 7.0 download the update over-the-air.
    You already wrote that the update is only 21 MB, so its not the whole firmware package of 7.0.2 you get with iTunes.

  • Trying to update my Itunes software, now it does not want to work at all, givin strange error messages.

    Trying to update my Itunes software, now it does not want to work at all, givin strange error messages.
    First, when trying to sync ipod touch to Itunes, nothing happened. After that, Itunes suggested downloading and installing updates but now updates will not finish installation correctly and launch error messages. Any ideas?
    TKS !

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736B3s, or a different error code? If they're different, what codes are you getting in Windows Update?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Similar problem here.  iTunes11 notified me it was available.  However, auto-update failed.  So, I downloaded for manual update.  That failed with "permission" message.  I am administrator on this machine (WIN7).  I tried uninstalling old version, but it failed with same permission issue.  I now can't start iTunes... throws permission message.  So, I'm completely dead in the water.  Does this stuff get tested before it's shipped?

  • I tried to update my itunes to 11.1.3, but it says itunes64setup is not a valid Win32 application? What do I do now?

    I tried to update my itunes to 11.1.3, but it says itunes64setup is not a valid Win32 application? What do I do now?

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Error trying to update to itunes 10.6.3 & now 10.7 (e drive?)

    Error trying to update to itunes 10.6.3 & now 10.7 (e drive?)
    I've been having this problem for a while (maybe a couple of months) and avoided it until I updated my iPad and iPhone to iOS 6. Now they won't sync! :|
    At first it was simply collapsing after the install process. I've tried again tonight and it is saying that it has an E drive error. I've tried to use the instructions on other discussions (using Run, CMD, and mapping the E drive to C) - but, I don't actually have an E drive. My c used to be split into two, including an E drive, but it has since been returned to one single drive. (I'm a teacher, the IT manager at school sorted this - managing one drive is easier for me to keep it working well - until now).
    Itunes was reinstalled and set up simply in the C drive, but could there be something remaining from it's previous install? Help?!?
    Thanks,
    Luke

    many thanks.
    There's a few suggestion other than using SUBST at the command prompt given in the following user tip:
    "Invalid drive X:\" install errors
    Do any of the alternate methods work for you?
