When I try to launch itunes I get an error mesage saying that Apple application support was not found and suggests that I uninstall and re-install it, but that doesn't work
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
Start with the section Install missing components which should address your particular error. Otherwise 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.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

I upgraded my old mac to snow lepord and now when i try to play music in my i tunes it says "file can not be located" but it still lists all of my music
Use Spotlight Search (the magnifying glass on the top right-hand corner of your menu bar) to locate your music files. Then point iTunes to those files.

When I try to sync my iphone I get a message saying that it was unable to back up my iPhone as an error occurred. My iPhone needs a software update but it won't let me do that until my phone is backed up! I have authorised my computer and tried disconnecting my phone from the computer, but nothing is working. Help please?!
I was receiving the same message. I had to uncheck the box that allowed me to sync my phone to my computer (PC) via wi-fi. After that, I have not had any problems. I am speculating that this issue is probably related to the wi-fi problems people are experiencing with iOS 6.

When I try to download the 10.0 update, my computer says that this, "URL can not be downloaded."

Order a 10.6 disc from Apple online. They do not sell it in their retail stores.
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Back up your computer first. After installing, run Software Update to update everything to the newest versions available.
Check your computer's system specifications but you may have the option for a free upgrade/update to OSX 10.9 Mavericks, though you may want to stick with 10.6 for a while. Higher systems usually run slower on older machines and I personally would stay with Snow Leopard until I was forced to change again. -

My problem: When I try to delete an email message I get the message - "The message “...” could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — On My Mac.”
It appear that when I try to delete an email on my mac-mini a copy of the message goes to trash and I can delete it, but the original message stays in my regular list of emails. How do I get my Mail program to return to its normal delete function?Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

When I try to empty trash, progress bar stops, and I have to reset finder
This has been happening for about a week or so. Regardless of what the files are, I am unable to delete them. Whether I do a standard empty trash, or a secure empty trash, I end up with the same progress bar that stops during the process. I've let it sit for several minutes and over an hour, leaving me the only option of doing a force restart of finder.
Currently I am unable to delete anything, putting a serious hold on my workflow.
It appears that many people are having all kinds of trash issues with Snow Leopard. I'm assuming Apple is working on a fix, but I'm not sure when that's coming out. Until then, if there is some kind of work-around, I'd love to know about it.
Any guesstimates on when Apple will release the next OS update?
Cheers.
BenStart with http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html Do note that AFAIK, there aren't any trash issues with Snow Leopard, just the normal handful of common issues, usually fixed by the steps in the linked article.

I am having issues with Quicktime. It would not open, so I tried to "delete" it and re-intall. When I did that, it would not let me install it and I got a message saying it could not install because I already had it.
So, I guess what I need to know is how do I un-install Quicktime (even though the icon is gone) and then re-install it.
Thanks!Yes I had that problem this week. Did search in finder and dragged all files to trash,including any attempted down loads of updated quicktime, emptied, restarted and then down loaded latest version and all ok.
