msvcr80.dll

Thanks for this advice. Apple have just wasted hours of my time with this ****ing update - it kinda knocks your faith in Apple

Did it. Many thanks. Worked

Thank you all for the help. Problem solved. Thank goodness I checked for iTunes problems since nothing else was working. Thought my computer was going south on me 😢

AMDS will not complete uninstall!

Press the Windows Logo Key and R at the same time. Type in services.msc and press enter. Locate the service and try to halt it. It seems from elsewhere that if you can't get it to uninstall then just press on with the other components and it all comes out OK in the end.

Turingtest2 - I tried your direction and my computer will not un-install "Apple Mobile Device Support" additionally per your earlier direction should I also un-install the "iCloud" & "MobileMe Control Panel" programs from my Win 7 desktop?

Thanks so much, in advance, for your direction & advice.

Try pressing on regardless with the rest of the steps. Others have had success.

The iCloud panel can be left alone. The MobileMe service closed down so that might as well be removed.

Trying the reinstall part, although I could not delete bonjour nor the apple mobile device...

Apple should be super proud of itself for freaking so many people out with a mere update.

The information from turingtest2 and MarioLavallee in these threads related to MSVCR80.dll is not installed when trying to update itunes 11.1.4 - - - the guidance to 'Remove all of these items in the following order.

itunes

Apple Software Update

Apple Mobile Device Support

Bonjour

Apple Application Support

IN THAT ORDER

resolved my inability to open itunes and download music from a CD. All is working fine after 5 plus hours. The Apple Mobile Device Support had to be worked 4 times and the laptop rebooted after each try till it uninstalled.

Too late to see if the other devices will still work-save that for another day.

Thank you so much turingtest2 and MarioLavallee!!!!

Thanks! Never would have thought that an update would require such gyrations. Thanks Apple Geeks for really testing your products. Only reason that I use this crap is because of family. ZUNE is way better even though its dead!

I had to do the uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support 4 times and rebooted till it finally went away. Keep at it.

You could be Santa as your fix is traveling the world! Can't thank you enough 🙂!!!

In my Windows 7 environment, removing and reinstalling following the instructions of turingtest2 didn't quite work for me but one extra step did.

Near the end of the reinstallation, you will be asked to "Finish" the installation. DO NOT CLICK FINISH.

Rather, connect your Apple device (iPhone, iPad, etc.) to your computer. This will trigger your PC to install drivers for your device (you'll see the notification on the lower right). Windows will automatically search for the correct drivers ("obtain device driver software fr4om Windows update")--this can take a few minutes--and then notify you when the device is ready to use.

Once you get this notification, then you may click to "Finish" the iTunes (etc.) installation. In my case, it finished and iTunes opened as it should.

Apparently, connecting the device before finishing the iTunes installation forces the installation of the missing files.

After many attempts that I lodt track of , it finally worked.

thank you, thank you, thank you. Will think next time before automatically updating itunes. otacon72 you are brilliant worked perfectly all my playlists etc are there.
