Update wouldn't install. Now iTunes is gone

I plugged my iPhone in and nothing happened. My iTunes icon was gone, and I had to find it in my programs. I clicked on it and the message
ITUNES CANNOT RUN BECAUSE SOME OF IT'S REQUIRED FIELDS ARE MISSING.
PLEASE REINSTALL ITUNES.
My phone won't sync of course and is all my stuff gone?

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?

I downloaded the latest update yesterday and now itune is gone from my pc because it didn't download correctly

I downloaded the latest update yesterday and now itunes is gone from my toshiba laptop. I get a message msvcr80.dll. Any suggestions why

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.

Just tried to update my iPad 2 to the current iOS, and I got an error that said the update wouldn't install. The iPad is stuck in a funny mode with the apple and spinning wheel showing. I can't power it down or restart it. What next? Thanks.

Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

Windows installed updates and now itunes has gone!

last night windows installed updates as it shut down and now when ive loaded up in the morning itunes has gone. ive tried repairing through add/remove programs, downloading a new version and removing the old version but each time it comes up with this message:
the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unvailable. click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to the folder containing installation package 'itunes.msi'.
does anyone know where to find this or an alternative way of sorting it out?
cheers.

Hi
First sorry to hear that.
Not all is lost. This is what you do.
1) Goto itunes.com. Install iTunes. Open it. Sign in to itunes so it displays your email address in itunes.
After goto your itunes store in itunes. There is a purchased tab. Click on in. It should list everything you purchased, books, songs, apps. Press the cloud with the down arrow. That will start the download process to your computer. I know the movie part you must download one at a time or it will crash. I hope that helps.

Update to iTunes hung, now iTunes is gone and I can't reinstall

I finally had time to update to the latest version of iTunes, but the install hung at about 90% and I finally killed the process. Now iTunes won't run at all, and reinstalling fails with a fairly cryptic message about reinstalling manually. Guess I should've continued using the older version.

And there is apparently no way to get to a command line in Win 7.
It can be done ... best to run the command prompt as an administrator though on a 7 system:
To do this, click Start, type Command Prompt or cmd in the Search box, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.

Installed Windows 8.1 and now iTunes is gone

I had been using the Windows 8.1 preview and itunes worked fine, but after "upgrading" to 8.1 Pro all of the software I had rpeviously installed had to be re-installed, including iTunes. However, every time I try to install it, it asks if I wish to "save File?" After I click yes it acts like it will but nothing happens. No crash message, no install messages. Nothing. Any ideas?

I've updated to iOS7 and now iTunes will not open on my iPhone 5. What do I do to make it open?

I have updated to iOS5 but now itunes says my computer isnt authorized, when I put in the username and password it says it is authorized

I have updated the iphone 4 to iOS5. Everything seems great but I am trying to use icloud and it says to plug it intot he computer and have wifi. I did that but now itunes says that I need to authorize this computer or lose 63 songs. I did that and then the message says that I have already authorized this computer it is 3 of 5 authorizations and then I am stuck in a loop.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Version 4 - telling me critiacal update should be installed now... goes nto Downloading firefox window and sits there trying to connect to server forever.. What is going on?

On two of my PCs I received a notice that Firefox has a critical update that should be installed NOW. It takes me into running a program "updater.exe" and pops a firefox window "Software Update" which says it's "Downloading Firefox" and the green bar runs across the window and the text ":Connecting to the update server" appears under the moving bar. That's about all that it does forever. No connect, no update, just the bar going across the window. If it was on ONE of my PCs, I'd think that the PC has a problem. The same results on TWO PCs, one Vista and one XP, makes me think there is some other issue at hand... Please help.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.<br />
Vista:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version.
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Why won't Windows XP automatic updates work after installing new ITunes

After installing the new 11.1 Itunes, Windows automatic updates fail to install any new updates.
The last time this happened was when I last updated Itunes. I can't remember how I fixed it but I had to go into the apple software and fix something.
Please help!

Please help me ! I don't understand why I had to restore to factory settings and then when I tried to re-sync it kept telling me iTunes is not working. Why ??

Updated to Lion and now iTunes and Apple TV 2 no longer work

I "upgraded" to Lion today and now iTunes won't work and neither will my Apple TV 2. I click on media in iTunes and nothing happens. More than that, though, there's something strange going on with the metadata because movie posters are vanishing and reappearing. At the Apple TV end I get a lot of "Error Occurred Loading This Content" messages, but when it does actually decide to play a file only a couple of seconds of it load and then it freezes up.
This has been great. Upgrade the OS and now I can't listen to music or watch movies anymore.
I reinstalled iTunes, but nothing changed. I rebooted my router and nada. It woulda been cool if someone had actually tested this OS before it was sent out to disable Macs everywhere...
-Rob

I believe there's some kind of sleep problem with my RAID array going on here. I had to switch the RAID array to the Firewire connection because Lion didn't like my eSata card. Now accessing media on the RAID array seems to be something that takes time to "wake up" the array, though I don't have any sleep modes enabled.

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.

New update won't install and iTunes won't open

What happens when you connect the iPod to the computer and restore the iPod via iTunes?
