Uninstall itunes and then reinstall??
I always hated itunes but like apple hardware. itunes is a piece of trash in my opinion.
None the less I have huge issues. The only way I can sync itunes etc is to put my iMac into safe mode. This is absolutely ridiculous!
I am running 10.7.5
And iMac is probably 2yrs old.
How in the world can I "uninstall itunes" then reinstall???? it wont let me put it in the trash.
I don't care what I have to do to get my ipad/iphone to work on this iMac.
Thanks
click here and follow the instructions.
note this will not touch your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.

Can someone please help me get my iPhone to sync to your computer?
I can not sync my iPhone to the computer. I keep getting up an error message that synchronization does not want to start. I have uninstalled iTunes and then reinstall it. But the same warning box will appear. How can I get my phone in sync again?Hello lenmin,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To help resolve this issue where you're repeatedly prompted to authorize with your Apple ID in iTunes when syncing, please follow the directions in the article below.

Can you help i am trying to use my existing itunes thats attached to my iphone ,ipad,laptop computer 1, and now need to attache to laptop computer2 which is windows7 but computer 2 had a different itunes on it i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it keeps on saying after install that itunes already running on computer
2 and my music is not there, any advise would be much appreciated.?Actually, I'd use the following user tip rather than the Apple document as a guide. (At the time I'm writing this reply, the user tip is much better organised, more accurate and way more up to date that the Apple document.)
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
In the normal course of events, and uninstall/reinstall doesn't affect your number of authorisations on a computer. Usually, it requires a serious hardware change (like a new hard drive or motherboard), or a BIOS update, or an upgrade to a different Windows operating system to confuse your iTunes and make it think that it is now installed on a different computer before you end up using extra authorisations for the same operating system for the same computer. (So if you ever have to do things like major hardware changes, or BIOS updates on the computer, deauthorise the PC first, and then reauthorise after the change has been carried out.) -
How to uninstall itunes and then reinstall without losing everything?
A few years ago my HD crashed and I lost 3,000 songs, so I'm skittish about doing this. I bought a used ipad touch and even though iphoto recognizes it, itunes does not. I want to try trashing it and starting over.
After I back up my library, what do I do to ensure everything gets back safely?click here and follow the instructions.

As a result of downloading an Itunes update on my PC I got a runtime error (R6034). I now cannot access my Itunes Library. If I uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the latest version do I loose the songs in my library, which I paid for?

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!
Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

Recently updated Itunes to 10.7 and when I try running it, it ends up freezing my computer and never opening. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and the same thing has happened. I don't know what to do.
I am experiencing the same issue , feels very annoying . By the way I using a Windows system but that should not matter.

It seems that I can't update my itunes because Bounjour 3.0.2. or something along those lines is missing from my computer or is corrupted. I have uninstalled itunes and then re-installed it but it won't accept the newer version of itunes. Is there a way I can fix this problem?
THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR SYNC PROBLEMS ON ITUNES
Header 2
Start bar, then accessories, then RIGHT click command promt and run as admin
Once the command prompt window opens, type in “Netsh winsock reset” at the end of the prompt. Like this: C:\windows\system32_netsh winsock reset
After it comes back “successful”, it will ask you to restart your computer. Do this.
After the restart, start iTunes, DO NOT PLUGIN YOUR iPHONE/iPAD/iPOD YET!!
Go to Edit > Preferences and click on Devices
Check “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically” and click OK
Now you can plug in your device
Once iTunes recognizes your device, right clicked on your device and back it up that way first.
And then performed a sync and all is well -
When I connect my iPod touch it tells me that I need a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and to uninstall iTunes and then re-install it, I've done that twice with the newest version of iTunes and it still doesn't work?

My itunes would not open up for me. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and it still will not open up for me. What can I try next?
KellyPossibly I have the same situation. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times. I have posted a question and no one at Apple has responded to me yet. Diagnostics say my laptop cannot reach the Apple site. I have a desktop that accesses just fine via the same network. Clearly it appears to me a permissions issue with the new software that my laptop does not auto adjust to or for. I am running XP Pro on both machines and have no problem accessing the internet, as you can see.

I have just installed the new version of itune (11.1) and it keeps coming up with this message. "itunes requires a newer version of apple mobile device support. Please uninstall both apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall itunes." I have done this step 3 times, while following the support steps on how to fully remove all itunes and related programs. I keep getting the same issue.
Also, my computer recognizes my phone but itunes wont. When I try to do a driver update according to the support page it keeps telling me that "The folder specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows x64- based systems." On the support page it also suggests trying an alternate folder (program files(x86)/common files/ apple/ mobile device software/ drivers) That doesn't work either.
I am getting extremely frustrated.... Can someone PLEASE help!!!!
I also just upgraded my phone from and iphone4 to an iphone 5c.many thanks. That's also useful to know.
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
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, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does an iTunes install go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I attempted to open Firefox as usual and when I clicked on the icon nothing happened. I uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled. It said that the download for Firefox was successful but it still does not open. When I click on Firefox it now just says to upgrade Firefox. What should I do to get Firefox up and running again. I have a Mac and my Safari is linking me just fine to the internet so Apple says it is not a Mac problem but a Firefox problem.
I notice you turned off the setting that diverts new windows to a new tab. Since the new window will open in front of your current tab, it may appear that the current tab was closed, when in fact it is behind the new window. This hard to explain in words.
Do you want to switch the setting?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
Check the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
Does that help? -
Mac OSX 10.6.8 running Photoshop CS5. My hard drive went belly up. Installed a new one and then tried to install Photoshop from my backup. I get an error message 6 telling me to uninstall Photoshop and then reinstall from the original software. But I bought from Adobe online. How do I go about this?
Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think? -
I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!
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 so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
