• 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?

• 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

  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

  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

• ITunes problems...

  I know that it is a long-term problem that I have read on many BB.

  I'm running a Dell 6400 with Vista.

  I had an older version of iTunes that I stupidly tried to update when I got an iplod.

  Now, nothing works on itunes and I can't update or uninstall. The problem seems to be built around the impossible to locate "iTunes.msi"?

  I tried cleaning of registry etc and nothing works. I tried the manual removal, emptying recylcling bin and restart then cleaning - zilch.

  I tried Apple's new installation but then get the "iTunes.msi" impossible to locate? message and installtion fails.

  Help!

  iTunes becomes a major concern!

  As you say, problems with him in every way.

I shot and restarted with the hope the iTunes will work normally, but he did not, I tried to uninstall, it won't lack of asking iTunes64.msi, despite the location and clicking ok, but nothing happened.  I started to Google looking for a solution and found this problem is common and I followed the recommendation of forums which the one published by Apple.

  For the past three days, have worked on this issue, I have lost all hope of solution and I get irritated.  Might someone help...? Someone has a code that I can stick to RUN to uninstall iTunes. Sometimes there's a friend gave a code to remove MSN Messenger from programs and features.
