Runtime error R6034

First, thank you so much for helping us out, Turing.

As I was following the unstall orders, I received this message "Fatal error during installation" when I was unstalling Apple Mobile Device Support. I really wanna sync my iPad and iPhone soon if possible. What should I do?

Thanks everyone. Worked for me. I had to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel and clear out the Apple Folders in Common Files.

Many users have found that even though they couldn't remove AMDS if they carried on with the next steps it all got resolved in the end. Otherwise try working through the steps in HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. There are a few extra wrinkles in there that most users don't seem to need. You may need to reboot in safe mode to delete items that won't go otherwise.

hi just followed the instructions for vista and it has worked a treat...

really please as this has caused chaos on my pc

I've tried everything two or three times i've tried the detailed method I've gone into the C Dr. and deleted all Apple Bonjour folders when I reinstall iTunes it comes up with the box for Apple mobile device support do you have authorization to install or something like that with an ignore retry and abort button i've tried all three it looks like it try's to reinstall and then the runtime errors to start popping up

Hi,

I'm following the HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP guide and I can't get to delete the Apple folder in Common Files folder (specifficaly the Apple Application Support one). It sais that other applications are using it. As it said on the beggining of the guide I had to remove it on the Control Panel, but I couldn't find the program, even using the execute command, so there's only the folder. The problem's there, as I've uninstalled everything and everytime I reboot Windows i get the C++ error. HELP!

Magically, after posting this, the folder got deleted. I am reinstalling again but the Apple Mobile Device Support won't get installed. I'm ignoring it. It says Apple Application Support is not found, so I have to uninstall and install again. ??????????

As above...

Thanks for your post. I followed the instructions and it went well on my Windows 7 PC. All back working ok now.

A further comment is how come we are all subjected to such incompetence from a big operation like Apple?

Or is it the old Apple vs Microsoft war games?

Mystified of UK.

You're welcome. 🙂

Someone elsewhere has made the sensible observation that the current problem might not in fact be a fault with this installer, but a heretofore unknown issue with a component from an earlier build that wouldn't remove itself when it was told to go. To err is human, to really screw things up use a computer. 👿

On this date, 2 hours of my life I won't get back because of an iTunes update that was a complete GOOBER!

You were the light at the end of that tunnel!!

1 Million bit coins for you, sir!

Your fix was simple, easy to understand, straight forward. It worked like it was supposed to. I have my iTunes back up and running. The rest of my Sunday is wide open.

Take the rest of the month off, you deserve it.

If I only could. 😎

Searched in the forums for the same problem and wanted to say thanks for the tip. This never happened to me before and looks like others are having the same problem.

Luckily everything was restored (music, iPhone, Appleid, etc.) back to normal after re-installation. Sounds like a software issue after the update? Thanks.

I was having the same problem - fix worked

Thank you

youre fix for error 6034 worked for me also just now. Thanks for the concise solution. I did also have to learn how to log in as administrator in my windows vista to uninstall.
