r6034 error when updating

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
• Bonjour
• Apple Application Support

Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Yes! I too have just encountered this problem today - and your suggested fix above worked!! Thanks!!🙂

Thank you turingtest2. 🙂

Apple Mobile Device Support wouldn't uninstall for some reason ("installation fatal error?") but otherwise this worked a charm.

Thanks turingtest2

It worked without any problem, many thanks!!

Had the same error R6034 today after an attempt to upgrade iTunes on a Windows Vista Home Premium system. Also had the same R6034 msg appear when rebooting. System did come up is SAFE MODE without an error. Used System Restore to the restore point prior to the iTune upgrade. So far, everything is OK. System boots cleanly and iTunes ver 11.1.3.8 is working. Next step for me is to back up my library, which I haven't done in awhile

See this backup tip.

Turingtest2 I made an account so I could thank you! I found this post after 5 hours of trying to fix itunes for myself and saw this and 5 mins later I was all fixed.. So thank you very much. Im actually having another problem and was wondering if maybe you can help. I am having a problem with windows updates. could you help with this.. thank you for your time!

You're welcome. 🙂

Can't guarantee I can help with the Windows Update issue but I don't mind trying.

okay i had my computer on automatic updates. i have a dell desktop with windows 7 home. anyway on one of the automatic updates my comp got to 32% and crashed then went to a blue screen then would start over and crash again and start the process all over.. i had to go into safe mode and turn everything off and then do a system restore just to get it to work again.. so i have yet been able to do the windows updates. the one it crashes on is security KB2862330. and i have no idea how to fix it.. so if you know that would be great if you dont thats okay too.. thank you for your help.

It is not unknown for Microsoft to provide an update that is supposed to apply to your system but in fact causes problems. I'd be tempted to simply decline that particular update.

yeah i tried that but it wont let me do the other updates lol.. but ty..

If you manually check for updates, then view the details of the one that causes problems you should be able to hide it. You ought then be able to install others.
