iTunes Error 7 (Windows Error 127)

Me too! Tried a registry clean but that did not do it!

Stuck now

Tried that and got entry point not found!!

Hi Keith, can you provide the full error message please?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. The "entry point not found" errors are usually the result of having outdated .dll files, possibly stored in the wrong location.

Tried but not sure if I did it right

All getting past my IT Level I am afraid

You are amazing dishing out all this help to people...must be a bit frustrating when we cannot understand where to ind the files or what to do when try to delete and it says "'cannot..in use elsewhere'"

Seem to be going in circles and will soon vanish you know where!

Thanks anyway TT Worry if pay expert, they wont be able to solve

If you got the error message "'cannot delete..in use elsewhere'" when you tried to delete iAdCore.dll then first close iTunes, if that doesn't help reboot in safe mode and try again, or use the utility Unlocker mentioned earlier in the user tip.

Stick at it, you will get there.

Didn,t work for me but find can access on my ipod...so good

Hi Keith,

See the section Tunes launch errors caused by iAdCore.dll should be an effective solution but the more thorough steps in the second box of the guide will also work. It shouldn't be too hard if you're not rushed and you sit down with a good cup of tea or mug of coffee. Or you can save the links until you call on your favourite IT helper.

Take care. 🙂

HI, did anyone have any success on this? i have done all the steps, completely wiped iTunes off and reinstalled an older version and still get the same message. At a complete loss with this, surely there must be a patch out by now. Totally scared to up date the kids pc just incase they lose it Too.

Yes, most people are able to get iTunes updated following the advice in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

When you wiped off the old version of the iTunes application did you also delete the installation folders as named in the second box of the user tip? If not the roll back is likely to be unsuccessful. You may also need to roll back the library database too. Other tips include temporarily disabling AV software, using a fresh administrator account for the install, or the segment on breaking down the installer into separate components and adding them one at a time.

Quite why things go wrong is unclear, and the causes and effects seem to vary quite a bit, but the overall recovery process should work. That said I would wait until you have repaired your system before trying to update any other computers in the household.

What is the exact text of the error message that you get now? Several have been mentioned in the context of this thread.

I have tried the Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates provided. I've also tried some other advice found online. Nothing is working. Why has this issue not been resolved? I sure could use a resolution. What do we do if there is no iPad or we don't use iPhones, etc.

This is really bad as I need this access for my class play lists.

Help!! 😟

What error messages are you getting? What Apple components are registered as installed in the Programs & Features control panel? If all the components have installed you could try repairing each in turn.

Just putting this out on the web for those that encounter it, not necessarily the original poster as I'm sure solved by now. I have a new Dell running Windows 8.1 and iTunes update 12.1 got error 193 and would not install, I tried numerous methods listed here. The folder some said to delete did not exist. uninstalling and reinstalling did not work. Rebooting to an earlier restore point did not work. I cannot say what will work for others, but here is what DID work for ME: Do not browse to the Apple site and download iTunes in Google Chrome, instead use Microsoft Explorer. When I went that route a different pop up box appeared asking if i want to repair or uninstall. (Repair did not work), selecting uninstall Then downloading the 64bit version (which I need) fully and successfully installed- not just saying it did, but actually working. I opened it up and re-synced to my iPhone 4s. Viola! (Btw, the day prior when purchasing an album over 3G not wifi all my stored music mysteriously disappeared, which ironically is what caused me to update iTunes to 12.1 but maybe this is unrelated, but both problems solved now. once iTunes was running again, everything was still in the cloud not lost just downloading to phone.) Hope this helps.
