iTunes "apsdaemon.exe missing msvcr80.dll because it is not found."

iTunes "apsdaemon.exe missing msvcr80.dll because it is not found."

Hi folks

I wonder if you could help me, every time I try starting up Itunes I get the following error message

"apsdaemon.exe missing msvcr80.dll because it is not found. Reinstall program"

It was working fine until I installed the lastest version 11.1.4.62, after I uninstalled tried reinstalling but it just hangs with "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start ...."

While trying to fix it I also had errors about msvcr80.dll and applesyncnotifier.exe but I'm not sure just what they were.

Yeah this new iTunes is a b*%#h MSVCR80.dll file reported as missing when trying I'm install latest Itunes

I tried the fix

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)

Remove all of these items in the following order:

• iTunes
• Apple Software Update
• Apple Mobile Device Support
• Bonjour
• Apple Application Support

Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

But it did nothing for me, I really hope the do something to fix this apsdaemon.exe missing msvcr80.dll error soon, I need my itunes!!!

I have seen this on all pcs (not macs) on windows 8 and 7
do what the second post says above but add like I have below in this order:
iTunes
Mobile Apple
Bonjour
Icloud
Apple Application Support
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
(note- Apple Mobile Device Support will not come out but that is not a problem)
reboot the machine
then download the iTunes software again and and install then you should be fine

will install the dll if the fix does not work.

I had noticed that fix does not fix it for lots, doing it my way by uninstalling all apple products did it and I had to do it remotely on 25 client machines and all of them worked the way I described

You have to uninstall:
Itunes
Apple software update
Apple mobile device service
Bonjour
Apple Application support
Icloud

In this order, reboot , reinstall Itunes....

If this does not work install the dll file I posted earlier in thread.

I found it works with most, not all but most.

I have had hundreds of calls over this the last few days, An Apple update hoses it....

oh i see your post robinb9...good job

 

[robinb9]

Thank u

 

[hms1007]

The above fix worked for me...thank you!

 

[Envy]

The above fix posted by Robin9 worked perfectly. Thank you so much. The error was so annoying!

 

[robinb9]

You are very welcome, you would think since this happened in windows 8 and 7 Apple would release an update so one did not have to go through all this

Welcome to the world of "softmares"! I mean softwares huh? Upon running smack into this APSdaemon.exe wrapped around msvcr80.dll Itunes mess I lost sound here as well but found one other thing that will curtail the stubborn error messages even if you follow the about.com article on removing everything from the Fruit company in a specified order. How To Fix Msvcr80.dll is Missing or Not Found Errors (iTunes, etc.)

Once all that was tended to the error still appeared. Once Itunes was back on again it wouldn't run but produced the need to reinstall error to accompany the first! The next time everything off I went in to check the msconfig's Startup tab and what do you know "ITunes Helper" was an item needing to be unchecked. Upon the restart following that being unchecked no further error messages.

Also there's no sound for some reason(found mode switch on cordless headset at fault) while everything in Windows is configured properly including the Creative wares and drivers all set, and Netframework 4.5 being repaired? One source on the msvcr80.dll error mentions updating that as well as using the Sysinternal's Process Explorer to see if there are multiple instances of the msvcr80.dll to find pointing at malware or virus. None found here suggesting file missing. And now to restart following the Netframework 4.5 repair.

The Itunes Helper being unchecked in the Startup tab of the msconfig utility was confirmed as the culprit for the continuing error messages. The further attempt to get the latest 10-3-1 version of Itunes back on 7 was abandoned since it was an optional player only here. I'm under the impression that an update for that is where the problem originated however since nothing went wrong with the latest manual check for updates a few days ago but I did notice some other items once that a few for that went on.
