my itunes is missing components and now used to uninstall.

one day, when I oppened itunes, a message saying that itunes is missing components, please reinstall itunes appeared. Although this doesn't seem to affect the program, when I later

tried to access itunes store it wouldn't let me, repeatingthe message on missing components. After unistalling and reinstalling itunes several times with no improvement, I contacted itunes to ask for their advice and they told me to uninstall itunes again, which is now used to uninstall, error message is security 5 appears only uninstalling ends.

Somebody has had similar experiences and found a solution?

Thank you.

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 on where to get the cleanup utility]

Download & install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
Not here--> 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

Also use Revo Uninstaller to remove its applications listed that remain.

Restart the computer
Download & reinstall iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes game (which is not a complete solution anyway) your iTunes Library is on your previous PC - solution the easiest is to copy from here or from a backup.  For more information, see How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support .  Previous purchases from the iTunes Store may be available for re - download - see download your past - purchases of Apple Support.

    If none of these approaches allows to recover the contents of your library, see user turingtest2 on recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device library for a list of tools and methods that can be used to copy the media etc from iPod to iTunes.

    Since you posted your product key on a public web site, it has now
    almost certainly already been copied and used by hackers all over the
    world. This means that Microsoft disables this button so it can't be
    more used.
     
    Please, in the future, never publish your key like this.
     
    But leaving that aside for the moment, to answer your question, if
    It is a key to the retail sale, Yes, you can use it on another computer. If it's a
    OEM key, no you can't.

  • I am now using CC and want to get rid of CS5 on my Mac, but the uninstall file is missing. I still have the original disks. What should I do?

    Should I re - install CS5 so I can uninstall it then?

    Hello Will, Rob, Nathalie, and Peter.

    Thank you for having responded to my call for help. With all your advice, here's what finally worked.

    I decided to reinstall CS5 Design Premium. (Used only the first disc with the red label, not the contents of the disc with the black tag.)

    At the end of the installation was asked to close the 2 things, which has been SafariNotification.

    I opened "Activity Monitor" and highlighted SafariNotification. Then went to the upper left of the window and tapped the little black x.

    I had to click "Force quit" because that 'smoking did not work.

    The installation of CS5 then finished.

    I went directly in the "Uninstall" folder and you click on uninstall.

    When uninstallation is complete, the files for many of these Adobe CS5 applications were still in my folder apps, but when I looked in them, they were empty. I just threw.

    However, Flash, Photoshop, and Patchfiles was still MB in them but that they would not open, so I just threw those too.

    There it is. I hope that this explanation will help someone someday. Thanks again for your help.

    Hello Dulceallison,

    Please ask questions on iCloud and photos after the iOS 10 update here in Apple Support communities. We don't like hearing about questions after each update or upgrade. I am pleased to offer you some things to check to help you with your photos are blurred and alerts that you have received with iCloud.

    The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup to iCloud or iTunes. Use this article to help with this: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Once your data is safe, we need to verify your configuration and ensure iCloud library is enabled and check if you are using the storage optimization feature. Please open this help link: iCloud photo library. There is a section on titled mid-race "save space on the device. He talks about the storage settings optimize. When this option is enabled, you will get in their original, high-resolution images of resolution lower, while iCloud library keeps all your photos and videos. You can check and see what images are stored in iCloud by clicking on this link: icloud.com, sign in using the same Apple ID that is connected on your iPhone. Click on the Photos. If you use iCloud photo library, you will be able to see all your photos. Upstairs in the Center, it allows you to see Moments or Albums, and if you scroll all the way down it will tell you how many photos and videos that you have. Also, some scroll down and try to check a few who appear fuzzy on your iPhone. Icloud.com are also blurred it?

    If you use iCloud photo library, and even if you see lower resolution versions of the photos on your iPhone, they should not be blurred. Make sure that you have made a backup and then please go to settings > iCloud on your iPhone. Turn off the photo library iCloud, wait a minute or two and then turn it back on. It should be re - synchronize your iPhone with iCloud. Check if the images are still unclear. If they are, please fully sign off iCloud on your iPhone. There are options to save contacts on the iPhone, and other documents and other will be deleted form the unit. Don't worry, this information is recorded with iCloud and also saved in the backup. Once all signed, restart your iPhone. This article will help you if you need the steps to restart the appliance: restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Once the device powers turn it back on, go ahead and return to the settings > iCloud. Sign in with the same Apple ID that was signed previously. It may take a few minutes to return all documents, data, photos, contacts, and calendars, but once this is done, go ahead and check your photos. They match the icloud.com images? Are they accuse still blurry on your iPhone only? See if you can isolate a specific set of images, or if all the photos on the iPhone are blurred.

    I hope that steps with deactivation and activation of photos in iCloud or logout and back in iCloud has resolved the issue, but if not, please provide the information for the steps that we have achieved together so far and I'll be more than happy to continue checking of other options to get this working as expected with you. Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.
