Runtime error R6034

At a guess that might be a component of the iCloud Control Panel. Remove that too...

thank you to all for their help - did as instructed and removed all apple and itunes files, reboote, downloaded new itunes and installed ok thank goodness with all playlists and content intact.

What i dont understand is how apple themselves can produce such a rotten update to itunes that messes up things for a lot of people. now if i had done the update being computer programming illiterate then anyone could say what a shambles, but for such a large company like apple then this is extremely bad programming - i wonder if someone has deliberately put out a bad batch of updates to mess things up.

As usual apple have not bothered to respond to anyones' requests and comments.

Turingtest,

THANKS! You solved my prblem. This Apple Update caused me enourmous problems. I had to get software to fix the registry; replace missing DLL's and a some microsoft service. A word to APPLE: DONT DO THIS AGAIN!!!

Do I need to remove iphone configuration utility?

thanks for all the help Turingtest2. It was the iCloud component. 🙂

You're welcome. 🙂

Thanks for the confirmation.

I was able to uninstall everything. When I tried to install itunes again, it now says: Apple Application Support was not found.

I read to dl Quick Time Player and once I did, it now says: Please install apple application support.

How do I install this?

Most people don't need QuickTime. Take a look inside the programs and features control panel. There may be an entry there for Apple Application Support, if so attempt a repair, otherwise attempt a repair of the main iTunes application.

And I thought I was going to have to buy a new computer, or iPad or iPhone or whatever.

Seems like Apple screwed up something here ( along with this quarters earnings).

I was lucky tried this thread and the fix worked perfectly.

Thanks all

Logged in to give kudos! Your step by step explanation also helped me with this pesky problem too. Thanks!

I have tried all the steps, including the detailed instructions and booting in safemode. But it still does not work. When in safemode, I still could not remove everything. The problematic file seems to be "shellstreams64.dll" and a related folder with a similar name. It keeps asking for permission to delete even in safemode. When I rebooted again and tried to load the itunes program from scratch I got an error message that it couldn't be completed. I thank everyone who has tried to help here, especially turingtest2, but further suggestions would be welcomed. I have 64-bit Vista.

I had this runtime error 6034 too. It was baffling me until I found your instructions.

You saved me a lot of headache.

Thanks very much for your help.

Update: Realizing that my problem was similar to bunnydad's, I tried removing all iCloud components. That is what finally did the trick. Thereafter, iTunes installed correctly and is working without any lost data. Thank you everyone!

Worked beautifully! Thanks on behalf of so many frustrated users. I too ran into a problem that someone else mentioned, that Apple Mobile Device Support would not uninstall. So I uninstalled all of the other components, as you suggested, and AMDS automatically uninstalled as well. Then, downloading and installing iTunes was seamless. Victory! Thanks again. I hate to be defeated by technology!
