Wooster33 I had the exact same probalem as it would not uninstall the 'Apple Mobile Device"

I left it there, but unistalled the rest of the apple software as Octacon72 suggested.

restarted my computer and loaded the iTunes Icon as i would normally and everything was there Playlists the lot.

And it Works...!!! Phew.. I was stressing out 20 mins ago. Thought id lost the lot.

THANKS OCTACON72.

Thank You otacon72... Perfect... You saved me hours of anquish....

This worked! Thank you!!!!!

Toonz, I did the manual download from iTunes.

To the person asking about the file being so much larger - if you extract it, there is a new MSI called icloud. It doesn't show up as a new program, but I think that is where a lot of the extra MB is from.

Thanks tt2 for replying and for your calm, reassuring tone. It gave me confidence to try and it worked!

Thanks octacon72 for the original solution.

Sidebar but quickly, is anyone using Windows XP and finding it impossible to get updates? I haven't gotten one since October and have been blocked at every turn in my attempts. I think Microsoft has stopped supporting it already!

".....after April 8, 2014, technical assistance for Windows XP will no longer be available, including automatic updates that help protect your PC."

Should still update at this point if there are updates available.

mspanner,

Thank you for your suggestion. I followed your suggestion and that seems to have solved the problem.

I only say 'seems' because I still don't know what might have caused the problem in the first place.

Thank you again,

Thanks - this worked! Whew.

Worked for me. Thanks!

Will this also resolve the "MSVCR80.dll is mising" error, or do I still need to download a fix for that before employing your fix for iTunes?

Thanks

Great solution from Octacon72 and all the rest of you. I uninstalled all of the Apple programs and Itunes too. Application support would not uninstall, but that was not a problem. I reinstalled Itunes, checked the upgrade other applications box, and now Itunes has been reinstalled OK. No problem with the missing dll, not an issue when you follow the suggested way of Octacon72. All libraries are present and working.

THANK YOU so much!!!

I have been struggling with Itunes all night, tried to download the update and nothing was working until I did this. Uninstalled anything apple, restarted, and installed Itunes again. Now it seems to be working fine. Fingers crossed!

Apple Mobile Device Support won't even uninstall from my computer, I have gotten rid of viruses easier than this... arrg
