What is Apple Application Support? Clearly explained

"Apple Application Support" is software. Most users do not know exactly what the tool is. It is urgently necessary for several programs. We explain the background easily and understandably in this article.

This is behind Apple Application Support

• The "Apple Application Support" together with the "Apple Software Updater" ensures that your Apple software is always up to date. If you install iTunes (iTunes 9 or higher), Safari or QuickTime, the update programs will be installed automatically.
• You cannot download Apple Application Support individually. This is particularly problematic when you get error messages that Apple Application Support is missing. In this case, you will need to reinstall iTunes.
• Note: Some websites pretend to offer Apple Application Support as a download. However, we expressly advise against this, since in many cases only viruses and other malware are downloaded instead of the right software.
• On a Windows PC, you can remove Apple Application Support if you are not using Apple software. You shouldn't do this on Mac.
