Unable to download iTunes after error

Help! A while ago--I think it was after an update, but I don't really remember--I started getting the "Msvcr80.dll is missing" error message and my iTunes became non-functional.  I have done everything I can find to resolve this, and finally wiped everything Apple from my computer hoping to be able to download again. (I still seem to have Apple mobile device support and I can't seem to get rid of it.) Now when I try to download iTunes, I get all the appropriate "do you want to save this file" dialog boxes and I end up at the "Thank you for downloading iTunes" page. But the file doesn't actually download. I get no successful download notification on my browser (Firefox, which displays a green arrow), and the install file is nowhere to be found on my hard drive.
Does anyone have an answer to this? Or are my days using iTunes at an end?

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 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.

    Hi sheilarodz,
    If you are having issues downloading iTunes for your Windows 64 machine, you may be able to download it directly from the following link:
    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

    I am unable to download iTunes on my second Windows 8 computer (64 bit). I got it fine on my first one and have used it quite a bit. After downloading the program and installing it on the second computer, I keep getting this error message: "Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start." This happens when when my IPhone 5c is connected via Wi-Fi and I have clicked on "Trust This Computer." (I have tried to install several times-- It gets hung up when it reaches"Starting Services.")

    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
    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.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

    Still unable to download itunes to my pc. Tried with IE, Mozilla and Google Chrome. Keep getting an error message :"Windows cannot open itunes.exe the file is corrupt contact support."previous itunes files were wipped out by "disk cleaner." Any help??
    Please!
    Thanks!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Unable to install iTunes after converting from Windows Vista to Windows 7.  Am told installation was successful, then "iTunes was not installed correctly", followed by "Error 7 (Windows error 193).

    Unable to install iTunes after converting from Windows Vista to Windows 7.  Am told installation was successful, then "iTunes was not installed correctly", followed by "Error 7 (Windows error 193).  I have my iPod plugged into my computer via USB port.  What am I doing wrong?

    i have the only account on my laptop so have checked and am the account administrator
    i run windows 7 home premium
    I have the same problem and
    have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
    then restarted as per instructions,
    went to Apple to download itunes,
    hit download now,
    Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
    did not get a save instead of run prompt
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
    If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
    i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
    If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
    sick of doing this
    at least 7 or 8 times i have re installed itunes to no avail
    troubleshooting no better
    please help. pulling my hair out at this stage
    it was working fine until 2 days ago when i opened itunes it offered to update to 12.1
    not working since i clicked yes
    also i have gone to restore previous point and ffs there are no restore points before my multiple reinstalls
    really dont want to have to restore factory settings

  • TS1368 unable to download itunes microsoft vc80 error any clues anyone

    unable to download itunes microsoft vc80 error any clues anyone?

    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? (For example, 8007000B.)

    iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
    Upgrade OS X on your Mac.

  • I am unable to download itunes songs purchased on my iphone, I receive an download error tap to retry I have tried hit the pause button to try to retstart and am still unable to download the song on my iphone

    I am unable to download itunes songs purchase on my iphone. I have recieve a download error that says tap to retry.  I do that and keep receiving the same error.  I have read some responses to try to pause the download once it is downloading and also to restart the phone, but neither have worked for me,

    If you really are running OS 10.4.6 you have a long way to go!
    So, assuming you are not, what version of OS X do you have?

  • I am unable to download itunes to my pc even after removing all itunes components

    i am unable to download itunes to my pc even after i have removed all previous components of itunes

    when i try to download itunes  i get a message that says thanks for downloading itunes. But it does so instantly and there is no download for me to install
    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?

    Should the advice above not fix things for you...

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.

    I have followed all the instructions for uninstalling all the componets of Itunes in order to reinstall Itunes but I am still unable to download Itunes installer or setup.  How do I fix this issue?

  • TS3212 i am unable to download itune

    i am unable to download itune software

    <flame off>
    Solution:
    1) load Safari
    2) Even though the itunes download states "Windows 64" on top, you Must click windows 64 below
    3) add an email address
    4) click download
    5) web will change to "Thank you" but download wont start for a while
    <flame on>
    None of this should be necessary if the download was configured correctly in the first place. There are no other sites that are affected by Firefox. It is extremely ludicrous to give up a browser because of poor programming on the iTunes site.
    it is not "mello drama", the correct spelling is melodrama, one word. This is also not melodrama but a sugestion to improve the customer's experience. I'm truely hoping you do not reflect the Apple community.
    Oh, and the error that told me to reinstall still occurs. After spending 3 hours on it.

  • I am unable to download iTunes (10.5.2).

    I am unable to download iTunes (10.5.2).
    When I attempt to download I get an error message which reads:
    "Apple Software Update
    Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools>Download Only and try installing manually."
    I have done the Tools>Download Only and tried installing manually. When I do this procedure I get an error message which reads:
    "Apple Software Update
    iTunes has an invalid signature. The download has been removed."
    I went to the "Trouble installing iTunes or Quicktime for Windows" help section and deleted Temp folder and restarted the computer, but I am getting all the same error messages.
    I hesitate to uninstall iTunes and reinstall because I am afraid that I will loose all of my music, podcasts and pictures.
    My iTunes also will not download my most recent podcasts.
    Can you tell me what to do to correct these problems?

    I never had to uninstall iTunes to reinstall a new version, that included 10.5.  What happens when you try to download iTunes 10.5?
    How are you trying to download it? From the Apple website or the iTunes/Apple software updater?
