can't uninstall iTunes on Win XP

Hi,  I have a latitude XT (Dell tablet laptop) about 5 years old. I need to update iTunes to 11.1 or 11.2 but I am unable to unInstall iTunes.

I probably made a mistake in frustration at one point by deleting the previous version from the HD with "Delete."

Every time I try to unInstall the old or install the new, it comes down to error 2330

Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

THX ieee488,

I had seen that but was fearful of CHKDSK

I overcame that fear and it worked.

BTW, do you know the phone # for National Instruments?

It's

From the search results, the control panel is one of the most used method, and it really helped me fix iTunes can't uninstall. Very simple operation:
Click Start > Type Control Panel > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Find iTunes and Uninstall it > Uninstall these four sections:
'Apple Software Update'
'Apple Mobile Device Support'
'Bonjour'
'Apple Application Support'

I am an iPhone user for the last 3 years. I have been using iTunes for the last 3 years also. I never faced any error in my iTunes. But recently I was getting the uninstallation issue and then starting issue. When I researched I got that it was an iTunes sync error 54. Can anyone please tell me how to fix this error.

See, I have also faced the same issue with my iTunes. I found some error message on my iTunes. I reboot my windows 2-3 times but it didn't work. I tried to uninstall iTunes but I couldn't do that. Then I get some online reviews and found one website. From https://itunessupport.org/blog/how-to-restore-iphone-without-updating/ I got the proper solution.

Error when you  try to update itunes

it is interrupted & shows the error code 2330
What does the code mean and how can I fix it??

That code is consistent with disk/file damage.

Run a disk check (chkdsk) on your C drive.


XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Admin Command Prompt Method:

command prompt to perform a scan on a drive letter of your choice
by running "chkdsk x:" where x is your drive letter.
The manual scan options are:

/F Fixes errors on the disk.
/V On FAT/FAT32: Displays the full path and name of every file on the disk. On NTFS: Displays cleanup messages if any.
/R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies /F).
/L:size NTFS only: Changes the log file size to the specified number of kilobytes. If size is not specified, displays current size.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary. All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid (implies /F).
/I NTFS only: Performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
/C NTFS only: Skips checking of cycles within the folder structure.
/B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume (implies /R)

"CHKDSK x: /F /R" would perform a full scan (including bad sectors) and attempt to fix them.


Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors,
or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this).
You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup.
The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds,
something's interfering with the scan.
