What is this Apple Application Support program?

Alright, I'm running iTunes on the following systems:
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
Windows 7 32-bit RC
Linux Sabayon (after some mods to the iTunes code; yes it's possible to run iTunes on Linux)
I just upgraded to this new version of iTunes, and as I was uninstalling the unnecessary crap that comes with iTunes (Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Suppport, etc.), I ran across a new entry that said "Apple Application Support". What is this? I searched Apple's website, and nothing of great significance comes up.

Hey you're lucky you got it. My fresh install of iTunes 9 installed without it and now it won't run.

  • Itunes needs apple application support program

    Q ,there was trouble with my computer last night and a few programs were deleted. After a scan was completed my itunes will not work. It says that I need to reinstall apple application support program. I have tried to repair the program and I downloaded itunes again, but to no avail. itunes is in my list of programs. What am i supposed to do now?

    Doublecheck to see if there are any leftover QuickTime program files and/or folders on the PC.
    On a 64-bit system open the following directory:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\
    If you see a QuickTime folder in there, delete it.
    Now open the following directory:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
    If you see a QuickTime file and or a QuickTimeVR file, delete those two files.
    If Windows won't let you delete either folder or files, let us know what the error message says.
    If those files and/or folders were present, and you successfully deleted them, try another iTunes install. Does it go through any better this time?

  • Can't run iTunes, Apple Application Support program missing.

    Can't run iTunes, Apple Application Support program missing.  It's a brand new computer, never had iTunes installed.  I've attempted 16 installs, each time uninstalling the previous install and verifying no Apple software installed before trying again; I've also been using different browsers, still no luck.  Windows 7, 64 bit.

    Try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). AAS might not install right now, but you may get a more useful error message as to why not, or it might install once the other components have been installed.

  • Deleted Apple Application Support program

    I recently deleted my program for "apple application support". When trying to use itunes now,the window for error #2 tells me to delete itunes and reinstall. Will i loose all of my music on this PC? Have same music on an ipod. Thanks anyone.

    Everytime i try i get this messeage, Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
    With that particular key, I think we'd better try a malware scan.
    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hours on my Lenovo.)
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

  • I accidentally removed my apple applications support program from my computer how do i get it back on?

    I had very little memory on my C drive and had to remove some programs to free some up but by accident i removed Apple applications support. How do i put it back on or do i have to remove and re-install the whole itunes program to get it to work again?

    We can get it back in without doing an uninstall/reinstall, if you like.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer 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". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    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?

  • Apple Application Support - What and why does this exists?

    So I welcomed iTunes 9 on my computer and iOS4 on my music player (latter to a great commonly known regret). Now here is my question:
    What is the "Apple Application Support" and why iTunes 9 must have it to run?
    (Note: Normally many software products there have optional modules which one may wish or may not wish to install depending on required functionality.)
    P.S. I did my Google "homework", so please kindly advise here substantively.

    See the second half of the following user tip for some information about what Apple Application Support is:
    [iTunes for Windows, QuickTime, and Apple Application Support|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2355263]
    The MobileMe Control Panel for Windows also uses Apple Application Support nowadays, as per:
    [MobileMe: "CoreFoundation.dll was not found" or " Apple Application Support is missing" alert|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2211]

  • "apple application support was not found" now what?

    Installing itunes on Vista just to manage content on my ipad and I got the above message. How do I fix that?

    Hi b noir,
    I've been following your posts for my iTunes compatibility problems with Vistas.  So far, progress has been steady - but now I'm stumped.
    Apple customer service wanted me to Uninstall/Reinstall iTunes - intending to walk me through the problematic new-device setup.  Prior to now, iTunes has had quirks with Vistas, but we were running just fine.  However, per Apple, I Uninstalled and now - I just cannot get it Reinstalled. 
    I cleared a few hurdles until I got this "Apple Application Support not found error 2" message.
    Again, I followed your steps and after trying the standalone AAS install, I get the following message:
    "A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer."
    So, between these two messages:
    AAS not found error 2
    "A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer."
    I don't know what to do next.
    Can you please advise?

  • I tried to download the latest upgrade and got the following: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193).  Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Apple Application Support\ApplePushService.dll

    I tried to download the latest upgrade and I got a message telling me "The application or DLL ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/Apple/Applie Application Support\ApplePushService.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." and then below that another message "iTunes was no installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193).  I tried reinstalling and it still will not work.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • Can't install iTunes 10 properly. Need Apple Application Support 1.3.2.

    I've downloaded iTunes 10 THREE TIMES NOW and STILL get an error message telling me I need Apple Application Support 1.3.2. I seem to have version 1.3.0.
    I'm on limited (and fairly slow bandwidth and it's expensive to go over my limit, especially if it's only going to fail again... I did select download only so I could install myself behind my firewall and yet still the installation has failed.
    How do I get the Apple Application Support 1.3.2. file only without having to download 100MB's a fourth time please?
    Can anybody point me to just that file alone online please?
    Thanks

    Hi texasslagle,
    It sounds like you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 7 PC, a frustrating situation I am sure.
    There is an article that you may want to use to try to complete your install here -

  • Apple application was not found, apple application support is required to run ituneshelper. please uninstall itunes and install itunes again error 2. What does this mean?

    apple application was not found, apple application support is required to run ituneshelper. please uninstall itunes and install itunes again error 2. What does this mean?

    You can try installing 7-Zip (free), then right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file to unpack its contents, and install AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. It may still not install successfully, but if it doesn't you may get a more useful error message regarding the reason why.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
