More pics after the break!

The sad part of this is that i am still waiting on 3g where i live.
September 9th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
The new itunes looks really good and the new features are great. Though i will never pay that much for a ringtone, especially when there are so many free programs like iringer, garageband( with ilife)…ect
September 9th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Installing it now…
September 9th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
“iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use with the iTunes Store within iTunes.”
September 9th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
@Dustin: Me too…
September 9th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
Like the sharing part. Makes up for the ringtone greed which is really a nonissue since i don’t care about them.
September 9th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I never understood why iTunes took so freakin long to install. I hope it runs snappier than iTunes 8…
September 9th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
HUGE shoppin cart GONE! BAD MOVE APPLE!!
September 9th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Why does the iTunes installer kill Firefox (and it can’t even be restored from previous session)? WTF?
Also, why does my friggin iPhone have to be plugged in to choose what apps get synced? Apps should have checkboxes just like songs.
September 9th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I really like the app organization. The iTunes interface is much snappier too. Now to try this home sharing …
September 9th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Installed iTunes 9. It promptly demonstrated that it doesn’t know that my iPhone is connected. Ever. Any ideas?
September 9th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
ok i just updated to the new itunes… and now its saying itunes is not properly installed and that i need to reinstall itunes… ive dun that like two times and i get the same message!!!! omg…. so should i remove itunes and install it again?? or will that de-authorize my computer?? i dont wanna lose all my music
September 9th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Am I missing the “Genius App Recommendations” Somewhere?
Not seeing any such thing in iTunes 9–unless the device needs to be updated to 3.1, which doesn’t make even a little sense.
September 9th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Installed iTunes 9 on Snow Leopard and not it says “iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use with the iTunes Store within iTunes.” I already have 4.0.3 installed – now what?
September 9th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
They added playback controls in the window previews that pop up on the taskbar of Windows 7. Nice small feature for anyone using Win7.
September 9th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
ok i just updated to the new itunes… and now its saying itunes is not properly installed and that i need to reinstall itunes… ive dun that like two times and i get the same message!!!! omg…. so should i remove itunes and install it again?? or will that de-authorize my computer?? i dont wanna lose all my music………. but it itunes still pops up and when i plug my phone it says “itunes require a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install again”
wtf does that mean??? and i already down loaded 3.1 update before goin to the new itunes …..
September 9th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
For people having problems after installing iTunes 9, did you restart your computer after installing? Mine told me I should, so maybe that could cause problems if you tried to run it without restarting your computer.
I’m also not seeing the App Genius feature. I eventually got the Genius Mixes after I force-updated my Genius results, but still no App Genius. I’m still on 3.0.1; don’t know if it matters.
September 9th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
i did all the things it asked and its still not workin =( i dont wanna remove itunes and reinstall it.. wont that mess upp my music and stuff?? and i dont think it matters if you dont update to 3.1 yet
September 9th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
@Muero Yes, I restarted the computer afterward and it still didn’t work…
September 9th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
how the hell do you get to app management…..
September 9th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
you click on applications in your device settings where the iphone is
September 9th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
I just downloaded and installed the newest version of iTunes onto my computer (version 9.0), and whenever I try to open it, it says the following message:
Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. What can I do? I am using Windows Vista and everything is up to date on the computer. Help, please!
September 9th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
I can’t find the Facebook / Twitter integration. Anyone?
September 9th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
i cant find the app managment i looked under the application tab but it just has sync apps? can you not manage them with a iTouch?
September 9th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
sloooooooooow DL
September 10th, 2009 at 1:33 am
I have been trying to figure out this problem all day!!! My iTunes keeps on saying “iTunes has stopped working” and closes as soon as I open it but when I use it from a different account on my computer it works but there is no music! WTF?! Please fix these bugs!
September 10th, 2009 at 2:51 am
I can’t even install iTunes 9.0, the update prompts lead me to the service agreement, click agree, then goes back to install options??? Round and round in circles I go…
Am fully up to date with everything else… Arrrgh!
September 10th, 2009 at 7:37 am
Re: Genius App Recommendations: Looks like this is on-phone only, and thus requires 3.1 firmware. Bummer.
Tricky ********..
Thanks TiPB for touching on this in your 3.1 walk-through: http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009/09/09/iphone-31-software-walkthrough/
September 10th, 2009 at 10:54 am
I’m in the same situation as Travis, now my iTunes is borked.
“I just downloaded and installed the newest version of iTunes onto my computer (version 9.0), and whenever I try to open it, it says the following message:

September 10th, 2009 at 11:29 am
On Windows 7 RC, iTunes 9 seems to run and acknowledge iPod Touch if you right-click on the iTunesetup.exe icon and run the Program compatibility first. My first install would not recognize the ipod and the second didn’t install properly. For now, Compatibility Mode seems to work.
September 10th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
iTunes store will not work! keeps saying i need safari 4.0.3 but i already have that version
September 11th, 2009 at 10:55 am
After updating my itunes and iphone I spent a hour organizing my apps. I then went to sync my phone and in the middle of the sync I got an error saying it could not sync. And all my apps disappeared from my iphone. I then reopened itunes and all the apps are out of order ( so why did I spend 1 hour organizing my apps).
Right now i can’t sync
September 11th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
I got exactly the same problem..please help.!!!
“Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2″
September 11th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
I updated to iTunes 9 via the Apple Software Updater, I am using Windows 7. iPhone not recognised. Read others suggestions of restart, well that just stuffs me right up. Now the laptop wont even boot up at all. Damn it!
September 12th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Help me please
I try many time to install itunes 9 in my windows XP but it’s dosn’t install at all ,,
i try to download it again 2 times and still dosn’t install after message appear preparing for install then all the installation process is not work
plz help
September 13th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Got the down load yesterday. I could not sync my iphone properly. All my music and podcasts are gone. I got a message about lack of space on my phone. A had 2gigs a free memory on a 16 gb iphone 3G. I mean its all gone including my ring tones. If i hit the iTunes buton on my iPhone it get a message that says something similar to “no files in itunes”. WTF? I’ll try to sync again on monday.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Well I re-installed XP just before updating to 9 thinking that I could copy all my content from my phone – no – instead it crashed halfway through syncing and wiped all of my iPhone and I’ve lost everything
Now my computer won’t recognies that my phone is ever connection. Any suggestions anyone?
September 13th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
I also have tried 3 times to download iTunes 9.0 and keep getting error messages. It will appear to be verifying, configuring and installing and then when it looks like it’s almost at the end of the installation, I get an error message. How long should it take to download when it’s actually working properly? When I go to apple.com to try and figure out if I’m doing something wrong, that site takes forever and a day to load. I guess I’ll have to wait it out. Should have known better to try after an updated version was just released. There always seems to be problems in the beginning!
September 13th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
When I try to go to the itunes store it shuts down itunes. Tells me Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried all day to fix. Nothing I try works.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Sorry using Windows XP. It seems Safari is the problem.
September 14th, 2009 at 12:59 am
I try to download and install iTunes nine from Apple’s website and also try to grade it. but every time I install iTunes 9. iTun8 comes back up. what’s the deal. is iTunes9 really ready for download?
September 14th, 2009 at 4:22 am
9 seems a bit quirky. I installed it on one pc (with known OS issues, just don’t want to format and start over right now) without a problem except somehow it re-charged me for the songs purchased a year or two back. I’ll fight that issue out over the phone. Next, installed it on a Netbook w/o any problems and synced up to the first pc easily. My wife’s PC was a different matter. Her’s was a notebook that I had just replaced the HD, loaded XP and the zillion updates on a few weeks back. After installing itunes9 she tried to import some songs off a CD and it came up with a “Serious error occured” and closed itunes out. Uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed – same thing. By now she was a little bit terse over this new version so I decided to do a system restore to the day before 9 was installed. System Restore won’t work now (and that was one of the better features of XP). Finally found ver8, re-installed it and her itunes and ipod are happy again. I don’t think she’ll be anxious to try 9 for awhile now.
September 14th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Downloaded and installed Itunes 9. Now my Iphone (3G) will not sync. It doesn’t even show up as a connected device. I was able to synch successfully prior to Version 9 installation. What gives?
September 14th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
I downloaded and installed Itunes 9 now my touch wont do anything, pc dont recognise it, itunes tell me the ipod is in recovery mode but wont restore it, left it doing that all night and nothing. WTF is this all about, getting through to apple support is impossible so now have a 6 month old ipod touch which does nothing…..dont understand but nano works ok no problems
September 14th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
I have the same problem as most of the ppl here. everytime i open itunes it just closes on me and when i use run it says quicktime isnt installed but ITS RIGHT THERE!. Helpp
September 14th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
I am having the same problem as everyone else installed 9.0 and it is saying application support not found. How do I fix this have reinstalled four times
September 15th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
odd. i like the new itunes, but for some odd reason, instead of saying “itunes” at the top of the taskbar, it says “itunes 1″. what the hell?
September 15th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
just installed new software for Iphone, and now I lost everything, it says to restore phone, and it won’t even do that- giving me error message and seeing only the plug into itunes picture on my Iphone…First problems with iphone 3g, my first generation was just fine!!!
September 17th, 2009 at 1:48 am
Although I like the new iTunes 9.0 and, luckily, haven’t experienced the software problems listed above (yet!) I am disappointed that on the main music view page, the list function differs from previous versions in that if you list by “Album by Artist” (the way I prefer to see my music listed, as it used to go by artists, then artists albums listed in release date order, then by disc number, then finally track number) then all double albums and box sets become listed purely by the track numbers whereas they would previously list by disc number then track number. This means that all track 1’s play first, then 2’s etc, stupid! It’s annoying that to play through a box set in track order I must change to the grid system now whereas all was fine previously!! Grrr. Please, if someone from iTunes is reading this, get the programmers to re-set it!
September 17th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Travis and Joffff:
Install Winrar. Locate the itunessetup.exe file on your computer, right click, open with winrar. Locate the apple application support file (it will be .msi), double click, and should launch the installation, and finish the job.
If not. Well. HAH good luck?
September 17th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
… these are the same issues since Itunes 7.. and I’m totally fed up. somebody needs to come up with a good alternative to itunes…. its too quirky …
September 19th, 2009 at 4:55 am
When I install iTunes 9, it gets about halfway through the download and then stops. when i tried to run iTunes 8, it said “Quicktime was not found. Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.” .. what is up ?:S
September 19th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Like many others, I’m using Vista and updated iTunes along with Safari via the Apple Updater. Both Safari and the iTunes store won’t load a thing. Tried to down-grade without success, now I’m stuck. What’s up Apple? Your support site is not helpful. You do want to sell more songs don’t you?
September 20th, 2009 at 12:25 am
Haven’t seen this yet on the list ‘o’ issues here – but with the new version I can now no longer play and/or load CDs! I get the message that iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close. ****! This is the first time I’ve ever experienced these kinds of problems with a new iTunes download. I want my old version back! Feels like Microsoft land – ugh – sends shivers down my spine…..
September 20th, 2009 at 8:25 am
I try an download new iTunes 9 but it won’t download it starts downloading in segments like 14mb then 10mb and just after 80mb it stops and just freezes, I then try to cancel the download and it won’t respond – bring up task manager and it’s saying the apple downloader is not responding! Help anyone who is having the same problem, just won’t download!
I might just wait for a newer version perhaps
September 21st, 2009 at 5:37 am
whenever I sync iTunes just shuts off fuckkkkkk this **** ugh
September 21st, 2009 at 10:04 am
I have tried several times to also download the latest itunes 9. but it gets almost to the end and gives me an error message, it downloads like 85%……help I need to download this because my daughter got an itouch and it tells me I need to have a later version than 8.2 to download her stuff!
September 21st, 2009 at 8:23 pm
HOKAY. So I have a Windows XP and a Mac, and I desperately need to use homeshare to save my mp3’s – my XP’ s dying!
I downloaded itunes 9 on my mac without a problem… but I’ve tried several times to download it on my XP to no avail. It seems to work, but then I click oon itunes, and itunes 8 pops up again. HELP!!!
September 23rd, 2009 at 1:19 am
HI,
I’m on VISTA and just upgraded to iTunes 9.0.1.8 and none of my podcasts will download or update.
Searching around the net a lot of people have same issue.
When will Apple send out a bug fix?
Thank you
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:28 pm
After I installed the new version my phone keeps jamming up. About twice a day I have to power it down and back up to get it to work. Any calls go to voicemail (which I’m not notified of) and no txt msgs come through. There is no indication that anything is wrong … Until I need to make a call & it won’t dial out. I’ve tried syncing & restoring the original settings with no improvement. Has this happened to anyone else?
September 24th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Some podcasts were doubled and transferred over to audiobooks.This is a new 3Gs 32g iphone with the 3.1 firmware and the itunes 9.0 I hope it is just a duplicate in display only because otherwise that would suck up a few gigs.
September 24th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Wife just bought new iPhone, says iTunes is not late enough, start downloading Safari 4 / iPhone Config Utility / iTunes+Quick Time, and it just sets there with the wheel turning. No status bar activity at all! I think, “maybe it’s just a large setup before the download”, I don’t think so. I don’t think anything is that big. Clicked cancel after 10 minutes of nothing, that was 10 minutes ago and it’s still cancelling while I’m typing this. Vista Sucks. Apple Sucks. Going to the task manager to end. M a y b e… All I’ve read on here is complaints such as mine. No tech mech anywhere. I guess I’m looking somewhere else. ^(@#$^(*@#&^ …Still cancelling Bye
September 26th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
I just recently downloaded Itunes 9 and LOVED the look. Just one problem.. my iTunes store doesnt work. It keeps saying that “error 306 check your network settings and try again” my network is fine. I even reinstlled itunes. any help?
September 27th, 2009 at 6:47 am
Installed itunes ok with no problems but when I sync the music, all albums with various aritsts lists as a separate album now and I~ can’t seem to change it. It’s really p-ing me off now!!
September 28th, 2009 at 7:17 am
Just bought a new iPod classic 160 gig, have downloaded itunes9 three times now, each time its either corrupt or just wont open, why is it that every time apple releases a new version of iTunes he drop the fu##in ball badly and leave us poor ********, who have just spent over $300 on a new iPod, out in the weather. Here’s an idea apple, before you release a program, how about you make sure it works? just a thought. **** i hate apple.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
well looks like as feared apple is learning from MS more and more – your updates keep breaking your own application – new name for apple should me applisoft
damn
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:00 am
I have Itunes 9 loaded and 3.1 loaded on my itouch. Just recently, as of yesterday.. everytime I try to sync my itouch.. itunes shuts down.. and says error.. must close application!!! WTH!!! I can’t sync anything from Itunes.. it keeps shutting down!!! HELP ME!!!
October 4th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Some problem as Help me. With other programs I’m excited to download updated versions, but with itunes, I’m a little weary because of stuff like this. I can’t even play any of my songs… Whenever I try it says “iTunes has stopped working” and forces me to close the program.
October 4th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
My iPhone wouldn’t synch but I left it plugged in for a long time (10-15 min) and iTunes finally recognized it. We’ll see if it works. What a waste of my time, though. Come on, Apple!!!! Debug a little more before releasing this stuff. I’ve already wasted the last 2 hours trying to get it to work.
October 5th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Arrgh im trying to download iTunes 9 but it gets to a random percentage and then the download will stop until it times out.. Any Ideas :/
October 5th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Tried to download iTunes 9. Now cannot open iTunes. Cannot uninstall iTunes. Running on Windows Vista. So. What’s up? It says I can’t uninstall the earlier version of iTunes when I try to start it. When I try to use the icon – it says “This action is only valid for products that are currently installed”. I’ve done tons of software updates for iTunes in the past (like a ridiculous number) and this is the first real bomb.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:18 am
I just got a PRODUCT(RED) 5thgen ipod nano for my birthday! yay! BUT NONE OF MY IPOD NANOS ARE RECOGNIZED ON ITUNES. I HAVE TRIED ALL SOLUTIONS SEVERAL TIMES. NADA RESULTS. **** YOU, APPLE!
October 15th, 2009 at 3:17 am
Download and watch the new movie 9 (blog-movie.com/9.html)
October 17th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Itunes 9 is sweet! I love the new layout. Great job apple!
The only thing is that I was trying to install it and it said it was inturupted. So I clicked on Itunes and a window popped up saying: “This application has failed to start because QTCF.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.” Then it has an OK button and an X to close it out. I tried clicking on either and it would make a noise and then come up again. I re-installed Itunes and the installiation worked fine but the window still won’t close out. I’ve also tried right clicking it’s name at the bottom of my screen and using Windows Task Manager to close it out that way with no sucess. It doesn’t bother me that much but I just would like to know how to get it off my screen.
Besides that, it was a great thing to download and I definatly don’t regret it.
October 18th, 2009 at 9:56 am
my laptop on vista freezes when i sync my 3g on itunes 9. please help
October 18th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I attempted to download the latest version of itunes 9.0 and it was taking literally hours to complete, so I turned off my computer. Now I cannot open up itunes. Each attempt to open itunes leads to a warning that reads “This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.” What am I to do now?
October 21st, 2009 at 4:51 pm
So I open iTunes, click “check for updates”, and it asks if I would like to download itunes version 9.0.1, so I’ve been clicking on the download button and NOTHING HAPPENS. EVER. I’ve done this nearly 20 times and I’m ready to just shoot myself. Help?
October 21st, 2009 at 11:46 pm
I think Apple is a bunch of hypocrites they point to Microsoft and say thier stuff doesn’t work – well I’ve tried to download the new itunes about 5 times – it wont’ work, thier support stinks. And even though I have 4 other ipod’s that work the new one I can’t wait to use won’t work without 9.0 – all high tech companies stink at great customer service – especially apple
October 25th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
So I am not sure if anyone else did this but my problem started when I downloaded leopard os x to my vista and tried to uninstall it and it started to update everthing with leopard and when I finally uninstalled it my itunes will not open. I get the app is unable to load and it gives me the error (-50) code and I have uninstalled everything even through the search on my computer, restarted it and redownloaded and nothing. There has to be a setting not letting the itune account open.
November 9th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I am having the same issue as some others are. I have to run iTunes 9 in compatibility mode for Windows XP in order for my podcasts and iTunes store to work properly. It is kind of inconvenient because it makes the appearance of my theme go away, but if someone knows about a fix, it’d be greatly appreciated if you passed that on.
November 10th, 2009 at 2:48 am
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3074 helps?
November 11th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
tryed to load version 9 three times gets to the end of the download and a popup says that a unknown publisher is being used and it won’t install what do I do know?
November 15th, 2009 at 11:49 am
I found the solution:
I have XP and iTunes 9.0 kept hanging up (not responding) after I updated to it. It all resolved after I called Apple support (800 801 1101). Apple tech. are duchebags for not publicizing the solution or better yet, correcting it.
All I had to do was follow several steps to delete iTunes 9.0 AND ALL OF ITS APPLICATIONS, AND DELETE QUICK TIME AND ALL OF ITS APPLICATIONS. Then I reinstalled stupid iTunes 9.0 and it worked perfect. No more problems with hanging up (not responding) nor with not recognizing my iPhone.
To delete iTunes and Quick time, and all of their applications this follow the steps on Apple’s website:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Note: The repair doesn’t work unless you install all the applications and not just the iTunes and Quicktime programs. No you wont loose your music.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
November 22nd, 2009 at 6:05 am
Don’t download this if you have an iPhone or an iPod Classic!! Your iPod will not work with this software. I downloaded it today and it totally screwed iTunes up completely for me. Now i can never have another iTunes on my comp again. Not even one of the older versions. They download with errors and say i cant have it because ive had the new one on here. Although i downloaded another program to sync my ipod with and add new songs with it and everything. ITS REALLY GOOD. takes up hardly any room and is really easy to use, take my advice, do NOT get iTunes 9. (heres the link to the one i downloaded after iTunes stuffed up
)http://www.copytrans.net/download.php
November 24th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Downloading now…been hours on this slow AOL connection but should be worth the wait.
November 27th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
I just got a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit, downloaded iTunes 9 64 bit and copied across music and library info and all works well until I tried to connect my iPhone. iTunes tells me it is the wrong version and that I need to uninstall it and install the 64 bit version. What the??? Has anyone else had this problem?
November 28th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
OK im just wondering but is it supposed to take a long time to download itunes 9?? because i started downloading it last night from itunes.com at around 7:30 and now its almost 12 o clock the next freaking day! its making me mad. seriously is it supposed to take this long??
November 28th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
please help =[
November 28th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
If you have broadband it should only take a few minutes.
November 30th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
I’ve had nothing but problems with this new version. I can’t listen to a song preview as it keeps rebuffering and I have tried to download an album now for 3 days. It takes forever and keeps saying error. What can I do, someone please help!!!
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:02 pm
I found a solution to my problem on another discussion thread that for the life of me I couldn’t find before. If anyone has a similar problem to the one I had go to http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1316445. The problem wasn’t iTunes but another piece of Apple software.

I’m pissed off to say the least? I’ve been using a Mac since the very first one was invented, and I still do to this day own several Mac computers. I’ve also been a customer of Verizon for 16 years. I was going to switch to AT&T only because they have the exclusive rights to sell the iPhone and its service.
For specific reasons that I can’t get into, I remained with Verizon.
Long & short, I want iTunes installed on my Droid!!! I love the iTunes application and I also like the Droid. Why the hell can’t you people cut the **** and just give the customers what they want? I don’t want someone to reinvent iTunes because I love it like it is.

i’ve tried downloading itunes 9.0 a couple of times now but it stops at 68% then times out…. i’ve got a early version of itunes (the only one that’ll download) but it says that i need a more recent version to use my new ipod. i’ve looked at the website and tried some of their troubleshooting ideas but none work… Can someone help?

OK – am but a simple user … and have no real clue except that if I d/l music through iLike and listen to via iTunes 9.0 it works well … only the first time though. About 5′ after first listening, iTunes says that the piece of music cannot be found etc and whether i want to locate it manually which of course i have no chance because by then I am spuming over Jobs Apple and his Lemons.

I have the same itunes 9 probles with vista 64, forcing me to uninstall/reinstall. I’ve done it 3 times. itunes just doesn’t install properly (it never shows up under Control Panel/Programs). Amazing that it’s on version 9.0 and continues to be one of the worst pieces of software I’ve ever experienced. Are there any alternatives for managing an iPhone and iPod. Just unacceptible. The devices are so good, the desktop software soooooooo bad.

Installed this recently, wish I didn’t keeps on crashing… Stupid apple… stupid iphones… stupid itunes… Was working perfectly before the update… I thought updates were supposed to be better than the older versions! I only updated it because I wanted to download a movie and itunes said I needed the new itunes version to do this… personally think that was just a con to download the new version… Sick of all the bs that apple makes us go through to use their stupid programmes…

I just downloaded and installed the newest version of iTunes onto my computer (version 9.0), and whenever I try to open it, it says the following message:
“Apple Application Support was not found.Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.Error 2″
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling a ton of times ALL DAY with no luck. What can I do? I am using Windows Vista and everything is up to date on the computer. What do I do??

Hi all, I have a problem that I find in different forums on the net, but none of the proposed solutions works for me! After installing iTunes, I can’t start the programme. Instead, I get the error 2 message: apple application support was not found. Tried everything: installed and uninstalled iTunes tens of times, cleared everything with ccleaner; the windows install clean up, etc… Tried installing it while not connected to the internet and with firewall disabled; downloaded winRAR and unzipped the apple application file with it… NOTHING HELPS!!! Very frustrated. Please help???

Just bought an iphone (3GS).. Trying to sync with my mac mini intel 1.83ghz dual core running tiger. it wont even recognise the iphone currently so i am trying to download itunes 9 and i keep getting to 68% and…. fail..
Is it because my operating system is too old?? or do i need 2.0ghz for this version of itunes?? eerrrrr… Is there an older version of itunes that will recognise my iphone 3GS??
PLEASE HELP!!

Who have this problem:Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 1. Download and install WinRAR. 2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose “Open with WinRAR”. 3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose “Repair”. 4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.

Anyone experiencing “Error 2″ for WIndows PC, ignore and download latest 8 version series. Similar as 9 apparently but works with no issues Link (32 bit although 64 is available)
http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=46
Teach these guys who upgrade software to fire their beta testers. Spent hours tring to get itune 9 and £££ on Ipod & accessories. Apple store in Southampton said “just download itunes” they don’t say latest version because clearly it is unstable!
February 1st, 2010 at 4:01 pm
PS. Denis, when clicking on AppleApplicationSupport.msi, through WinRaR and repair, the file is corrupt and can not complete cycle. Useless for me anyway.
February 2nd, 2010 at 5:03 pm
Just an update for Error 2. DO DOWNLOAD LATEST 8 VERSION OF ITUNES (as previous link). Install it etc. When you connect your Ipod 5G it will say you need Version 9. Just simply go to downlaod update latest software. Your base data/installation in version 8 gets the raw outline of the software installed without hiccup and 9 simply updates (patches?) this as you are not installing from scratch. Should be HEY PRESTO! Make sure your Ipod is connected beforehand!
