apsdaemon.exe missing msvcr80.dll and won't run... Help???

Try using the slightly more detailed process outlined in HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. It may help to use safe mode if you find yourself unable to remove any of the folders recommended in the instructions. Alternatively trying moving on to the next step even when one won't complete properly. You may be able to come back to it later, or the reinstall may progress anyway.

If you have tried from control panel, I wonder if doing a system file check from a command prompt will help. This procedure looks for missing or corrupt system files and restores them. Here's a link to MS support. Be sure to run as administrator when you select the command prompt. I'm not well versed enough to know if the uninstaller is a "system file" but it would be worth a try. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will have other suggestions.

Here's another link you may find helpful. There is an automatic "fixit" tool offered by MS on this page.

Hi tt2 and ronharr,

thanks for the prompt replies.

i FINALLY.... was able to uninstall the itunes, for some reason via the msfixit tool, and followed the link given by tt2.

now im in the midst of installing the itunes and runned the .exe as administrator.

but i encountered the error Apple Mobile Device... please ensure that you have the sufficient privilege.

And after the installation, i still encountered the error, "Itunes was not installed properly."

SIGHH!

Thanks for all your help ronharr and tt2!

It was fine after I repeated the entire cycle of deleting and reinstalling again.

Thank you very much!!! Wasted 3 hours of my time =( But I'm finally glad its solved!

Thank you tt2,this worked great for me.

Glad to hear it jeanxchin, I was very grateful to tt2 as well. The whole thing was somewhat frustrating but in Apple's defense, I have rarely encountered problems and what would life be like without the occasional potboiler?

I didn't have to uninstall Safari. Just followed your tips and all is okay.

Wow, THANK YOU!! for these instructions, turingtest2. 🙂 I was a little leery but followed them to the letter (and no, the Apple Mobile Device Support wouldn't uninstall, I had to move to the next item. . .) Rebooted, reinstalled--worked perfectly. I have my iTunes back! 😍 Yee-haaa!!

Yeah, I couldn't agree more!

turingtest2, you're the man! Thanks, that absolutely helped.

To all of those who still have a problem uninstalling the Apple Mobile Device Support: Try to repair the installation prior to uninstalling. When I did that, it came up twice with an error message that I ignored. After that, I could uninstall the Apple Mobile Device Support without problem.

Win 7 64bit.

My system: Win 7 (64-bit)

When I updated iTunes, it caused it not to run, hosing it completely! Running repair did not work and simply reinstalling over the top of the bad install also didn't work, so.........

I followed instructions from turingtest2and it worked. But the only thing I did differently was to install an older version of iTunes from Nov 2013, that I just happened to have in my download folder from a previuos install. Luckily, I still had it, because this latest upgrade is screwing up everyone's computer from what I read by Googling the error message. Also the Mobile Device would not uninstall. I chose NOT to install the upgrade when prompted, until Apple fixes the problem. I'm currently running v11.1.3.8.

Remove all of these items in the following order:

• iTunes
• Apple Software Update
• Apple Mobile Device Support (won't uninstall for me) so move on to the next item
• Bonjour
• Apple Application Support

Same problem.Same fix worked great. Thanks.

Thanks to you and msspammer this was resolved! Appreciate it! Anyone know how we'll know when it is safe to try the update on other computer?

It might be wise to wait for the next release. One would hope that Apple will have worked out what happened this time around for the unlucky ones and make sure it doesn't happen again. One of my computers borked, the other was fine. Obviously those for whom the install went smoothly have no reason to drop by and share.
