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?

Take a look at this support document for instructions on uninstalling iTunes. Remove and reinstall iTunes and the components of the software for Windows 7 and later versions - Apple Support

  • Uninstalling iTunes problem

    Earlier this year, itunes refuses to open at all. It would appear as an opening in the Task Manager, but would actually do anything. I decided that it was better to try to reinstall itunes, however I had several problems with uninstalling to the point where I had to create a new profile on my computer and uninstall it from there. Since then, I've downloaded the itunes Installer but when I go to run it, it usually freezes and finally closed. I don't know what changed, but now he said. It comes with two options: to uninstall itunes. or repair. As it had already been uninstalled I tried to use the two options, but he has been slain to the point where it says "register itunes automation server.". How can I my itunes works again? I have a HP laptop and run windows 10.

    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...

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

    Launch the utility: start > programs > Windows Installer Clean Up

    I tried to install iTunes 10.5. I had first to remove the version of iTunes, I had. Setup wouldn't let me not uninstall iTunes I had. I need to talk to a technician of Windows. Someone at - it a number that I can use.

    Caution: the Uninstaller utility for cleaning Windows mentioned in the instructions below has been removed from Microsoft download servers because sometimes it seems more removed he was supposed to (I believe this was linked to Office uninstall).  You can still get utility Windows Installer Cleanup--> http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html here is a free alternative Revo Uninstaller. Before using these cleaning products, you must create a restore point from the system first (or back up the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT).  See http://windowsxp.mvps.org/registry.htm a complete disk image would be safer if you have this ability.

  • 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.
