• cannot update or uninstall iTunes because "iTunes.msi" not found - HELP Please

  November 8, 2011 - on window XP

  "iTunes.msi" - not found - and therefore prevents the update AND uninstall iTunes!

  iTunes.msi is setup.  Normally, it is missing because you didn't upload.

  However, in the rest of the error message you forgot, the problem probably turns out to be that you have downloaded a new version of iTunes and it will not be installed because it's hard to uninstall the previous version.

  It's always a good idea to post the full error message without paraphrase.  It also helps others help if you describe the circumstances surrounding the error.

  Assuming that my crystal ball reveals precisely your problem, the solution is the following:

  This message occurs when the registry key pointing to iTunes uninstaller is corrupted (or uninstall of iTunes has been moved or deleted).  The simplest thing to do is just clean things, and then try again.

  Used to have a tool just to do this, called the Windows Installer Microsoft Cleanup utility.  Apparently, however, when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), removes sometimes more he was supposed to, and that's why Microsoft has removed the tool of its download servers.

  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller.  Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.

  Here are the usual directions to perform a "clean installation" of iTunes, based on Support of Apple HT1926 article.

  Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
  Remove these applications:
  1 Apple Software Update
  2. Apple Mobile Device Support
  3 Hello
  4 iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)
  5 iTunes
  6 QuickTime

  Open my computer > C: > Program Files
  Delete this files (if present)
  1 iPod
  2 iTunes
  3 QuickTime

  Empty your temp directory:
  Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".

  If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
  Tools > Folder Options > view tab
  Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OK

  Once this file is empty, restart the computer

  [See note above regarding cleanup utility]
  Download & install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301/
  Launch the utility: start > programs > Windows Installer Clean Up
  Select one of the applications mentioned above and click on remove

• Uninstall Itunes

  Hello!  I have recently tried to uninstall iTunes, because when I tried to update it told me that was missing the file "iTunes6464.msi".  I tried to replace the file and eventually remove the registry by accident.  After that, I decided to try to delete all the files on itunes on my computer, using a cleaning program.  Now, I essentially have a blank iTunes that I can't uninstall and I was wondering if there was something I could do, or if I probably need to call technical support at this point?

• Try to uninstall iTunes

  Impossible to uninstall itunes - error tells me that I do not have this server network. I have all the steps up to 9 completed & will try that next, but still waiting for a response!

  I can't uninstall or reinstall QuickTime or iTunes. I am running Windows XP.

  Received a new computer, but the saved music. iTunes, originally worked fine.

  I have taken several steps.

  1. with the help of Add/Remove Programs, I tried to uninstall QuickTime and iTunes. The two uninstall failed because of "missing .msi file." Using search, I find quicktime.msi in Windows and tried to uninstall again, this time directing the program uninstaller in the folder where fichier_MSI resided.

  2. has received the error "strives to access a network or a disk that is no longer available.

  3. I contacted Apple support by phone. Tech walked me through the download and installation of iTunes, but received the same mistakes. He suggested I have contact the Windows Support.

  4. the search through questions, I found this point.

  Here is what has been proposed and I'll try, I don't know where to find the Windows Installer CleanUp utility program.

  6. I used the HP online help program and reported the errors as above, requesting help to find missing msi file. Answer: "you must first uninstall the ITunes of the components of the computer and re-install the latest version of iTunes."

  7. I'd like to! But I can't do it with the old files that won't uninstall, that's why I contacted them in the first place.

  Then I tried manually delete all the files I could find who was inside QuickTime files, however, some files not can be removed.

  9. now iTunes will not work because it indicates that the files are missing.

  10. open the program from my pc (which is how I got from HP support) and sought assistance error codes. He directed me to Microsoft technical support.

  11. I found similar error codes that were set by using Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.

  12. I downloaded the utility opened by instructions and sought the list of programs that may be uninstalled. He registered iTunes, but not QuickTime. I used it to uninstall iTunes.

  13. returned to Apple, downloaded program iTunes, but error code says: "unable to remove an older version of QuickTime. Contact your technical support group. »

  Hoping that Microsoft can help. How can I get the old files to uninstall when the cleanup utility cannot locate? I can not uninstall files, nor can I reinstall fresh versions.

  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Your best resource for addressing this situation isn't necessarily technical support from Apple, but Apple's iTunes forums.  These forums, like this one, are met, not by Apple employees (or in this case, the employees of Microsoft), but are a place where users can help each other.

  Forum: Installation & update iTunes for Windows

  It is possible that the Windows Installer Cleanup utility would help, but given the State of your system, it is not sure that you would be better or worse off.  The usual technique would be to run the Installer Cleanup Utility, and then try to re - install iTunes, then (if desired) uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, Hello, update the software Apple, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support. Seethis article .

  Microsoft has removed the utility install Microsoft Downloads Cleanup because sometimes it seems "damaged other components" (which I guess means that he "cleaned up" things that should have been left alone).  If you want to try it, you can always get it from Major Geeks .

  I agree with PML, use Apple iTunes forums, they can be a real useful sometimes.

• Impossible to uninstall iTunes after downgrading to windows from 10 to 7

  I love having new things first.  lol so when Windows 10 came out I had to update immediately.  I should have checked to see if my programs and drivers were compatible.  They were not.  So I uninstalled 10 and I went back to 7.  The only thing that seems to have been affected was my iTunes program.  For some reason, I think that is the iTunes Installer has been moved or corrupted.  The first time a new update was released for iTunes, my computer downloaded the new update, but it was impossible to remove the old program iTunes.  So I tried to remove iTunes from Add/Remove programs function in the control panel.  I get the following:

• Detcts iPod but ITunes "cannot correctly identify" uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed. Restarted laptop. Folder deleted Apple Lockdown, rebooted, still could not "identify correctly.

  ITunes detects the iPod, but 'cannot correctly identify' uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed. Restarted laptop. Folder deleted Apple Lockdown, rebooted, still could not "identify" during each step, also disconnected iPod USB port.

  Try the following (in that order).  Looks like you're using Windows (not a Mac), so I'll make this assumption...

  Shut down (power off) the computer, disconnect all the USB devices.  Plug the laptop power adapter, so that it does not work on battery power.  Do this Reset (reboot), the iPod

  Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support

  Start computer, run iTunes and connect the iPod to a USB direct on the laptop by itself.  If there is no difference, put the iPod in Disk Mode

  Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

  Then connect to the laptop again, always by himself.  If iTunes picks it up, he may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  If you're OK with deletion of the iPod, do the restore.  See if the iPod is "correctly identified" after restoration.

  If the problem persists, you said you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but may not have uninstalled iTunes and associated software components.  Follow the steps in this document to uninstall an iTunes installation components, in the order described all listed

• Uninstall iTunes from my macbook 2015 pro forever

  I would like to uninstall iTunes on my macbook pro 2015 and there is not installed for the rest of my life or that of my computer, apply.  However, given that iTunes is a apparently a virus, it continues to display upward no matter what I do.  Suggestions?  I would have preferred the comments involving the removal of this software from my computer, rather than the kind telling me what a fool I am not love iTunes.  Thanks in advance.

  iTunes is now considered to be part of the operating system of the computer and in this respect is considered (by Apple) key to the operation of the computer as the code to draw the image on your monitor.  This is just to tell you that it's not like 10 years ago, when iTunes was an optional installation.  It's kind like ask Ford to you make a car without a radio.  I am not questioning your reason for wanting to remove it, but if you let us know what you hope to achieve this doing, we may be able to make suggestions. You won't save a lot of disk space.  If it exasperates you by the presence of a music file opens automatically with iTunes when you click on it there are easy ways to prevent this.

  I use the Mavericks. I have not deleted iTunes, but I prefer iTunes 7.5. I copied the app from my old computer to this one and compressed the 11.4 that the installer had put on this computer. So far no problem.  Realize, however, the software updates seem to come in large packages these days, so even if you delete iTunes it can reappear as part of an update software General do you in the future.  I disabled automatic software updates and try to analyze the content of each of them before as I do, but it is becoming harder and harder to find those who are the true component system updates and those who are what I consider more general software such as iTunes or Safari.  In this regard, you can not reach your desire for ever unless you remove once and never in your life update your software.

• I'm trying to uninstall iTunes from the PC with Windows 7, but get a message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource." How to get around this? (Apple don't give customer service!)

  For the third time! I'm trying to uninstall iTunes from my PC with Windows 7 Home Edition premium as the statement on Apple's site, but get a message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." I'm then offered a chance to "try again or enter a different path to the folder that contains the package"iTunes6464.msi installation in the box below. " With my limited knowledge, I can't find such a record.

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates. Start by Missing MSI errors .

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• help to install/uninstall a program (FSX)

  I'm stuck between the installation and uninstallation of Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

  Initially installed, but somehow never installed.  When you are prompted to repair or remove the program, no option seems to work.  Repair the program says that it is a current installation and must be completed.  Remove/uninstall to start over is not possible either as a "run time" error occurs.
  The program seems to be loaded onto the computer (shows less memory on hard drive), but there is no way to access the program without the disc.  Any way I can find a way to complete the installation or replace and uninstall completely and all over again?
  Thanks in advance.
