Apple application support was not found

I was having a problem trying to sync my iPod. So, as the apple support says, I reinstalled iTunes. When l was reinstalling, I had a problem with Apple application support installation and, after installed iTunes, when I tried to open it, it says that the Apple application support is missing. Already tried everything that is said by the support and to install the Apple application support separately. I don't know anymore what to do, I'm clueless. The message that I get is this one:


Apple Application Support was not found.


Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, The install iTunes again.


Error 1 (Windows error 2)

iPod touch, Windows XP

Hi Herold


Go to control panel from start menu and select "Uninstall a program" and uninstall:

  1. iTunes
  2. QuickTime
  3. Apple Software Update
  4. Apple Mobile Device Support
  5. Bonjour
  6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)


After you have uninstalled all the items listed above go to start menu and click the computer link then open your c drive. After opening the c drive click "organize" on the upper left hand corner and select "folder and search options" then select the "view" tab. Then select the "Show hidden files and folders" and click the apply button and select ok and close.


Open your c drive and open the "users" file and then open the folder containg your selected computer name. After the file opens select the "local" folder and right click and select delete for all Apple files (itunes, quick time etc) Then open the "temp" file and remove and delete all apple files that may be in the temp file as you did in your "local" folder.


Then download itunes 9 from oldapps.com/itunes and install. Once installed itunes will open and you can update to a newer version from itunes 🙂
