Can't run iTunes. Quick time error

QuickTime failed to initialize(error -2096)
QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
Can anyone help me out? I've downloaded it again to many times. Restarted my computer everything.

Even though the following article is about the -2096 when launching the QuickTime Player, I'd start with it for your iTunes as well:
[Error -2096 message when opening QuickTime for Windows in Compatibility Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875]
(If you do end up having to check the iTunes.exe compatibility mode tab too, be sure that no boxes in that tab are checked, not just the compatibility mode tab itself.)

  • I upgraded to iphone 4. When sync to comp. Comp. asked to upgrade. I did. I tried to open itunes and it failed. Quick Time error 2096. I went through severals procedures. Finally could open itune. Pluged phone in comp it will charge but wont sync

    I upgraded t iphone 4. When I sync to computer. I was asked to upgrade itunes, I did.  When I tried to open itunes a Quick Time Error 2069 occured. I went through several procudures. Finally I could open itunes. When I pluged in the phone, it would charge but not sync. What now?

    update...
    I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
    Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
    I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
    At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
    Frustrated.

  • I have an error 42404 message.  I have uninstalled Itunes,quick time, etc, etc.  I then checked to make sure that all files had been deleted.  I have 2 files that haven't been deleted and are still not.  It will not allow me to delete them access denied.

    I received an error 42404 message.  I have uninstalled itunes, quick time, etc, etc.  I then went to check that all the files had been deleted, however,
    Program files\common files\Apple - will not delete - it says folder access denied
    program files (x86)\common files\Apple - will note delete - it says require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder.
    How can I delete these 2 files so that I can reinstal Itunes?

    You can uninstall the relevant extensions from Tools>Addons to remove those toolbars. Also there may be some unwanted plugins which you may want to disable. This should solve your problems.
    If you still want a clean profile, uninstall firefox with the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" checkbox enabled. Alternatively you may remove your firefox profile folder which (on Window7) is stored in C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles folder with a randomly name. You may delete this folder before installing a new version to get a clean profile.

  • Getting Error :- Only one instance of COBRAS Export can be running at a time

    Hi All,
    I was checking the Briefcase Mode help file and it mentions for Unity Conection
    that COBRAS will run multiple instances of itself – if you schedule multiple backups to fire up at the same time they will all run at the same time.
    However if I schedule multiple backups to fire at the same time then I get the error :- "Only one instance of COBRAS Export can be running at a time".
    This also happens if the COBRAS windows is left open and the scheduled backup starts in the background.
    http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/General/COBRAS/Help/COBRAS_Briefcase/COBRAS_Briefcase.htm#_Toc276653845
    I am not sure if I am making a mistake in understanding the statement :- "COBRAS will run multiple instances of itself – if you schedule multiple backups to fire up at the same time" or do we need to add any switch like lot of other application need like /m etc in the field of the scheduled backups as I see as /silent switch for process to run in background automatically but none for multiple instances.
    I am attaching the screen shots of the errors I got when
    A.) I scheduled 2 backups to run at the same time and the COBRAS application window was open "COBRASExportCUC7.exe" was running  and no backup took place and got errors for both the scheduled backups.
    And
    B.) I scheduled 2 backups to run at the same time and the COBRAS application window was closed off and "COBRASExportCUC7.exe" was not running and one of the scheduled backups started to work and the other one gave error and didn't work
    Unity Connection in use :- Version 8.0.3.20000-18
    Cobras Export :- Version 1.0 Build 76
    Please Suggest.
    Regards,
    Prad

    Yeah, I’m of two minds on that – on the one hand it’s bad style to have a scheduled application popping dialog boxes (especially if you’re running as an account you don’t log in as regularly) – one the other hand I did have some sites go a while not noticing backups were failing (due to a UNC not flying any longer after a server reconfig) – folks can be bad about checking log files or the event log for issues.  A pop up would pretty much guarantee they’d notice on next login at any rate.
    I think I may stitch in email notifications in COBRAS Export in the same way they’re in the User Data Dump so failures of scheduled backups would be noticed right away (big, bright email in your box saying “failed!” would do it). 
    Either way, I’ll update the help and make sure it fails quietly for now when I update some other items on the site middle of next week.
    Thanks for the report.

    I trying to download itunes on my laptop several times but I keep getting a Quick Time error -2096. How do I remove this error?

    Do you see the problem if you turn off Compatibility Mode for QuickTime?
    Right-click on the QuickTimePlayer application (located in C:\Program Files\QuickTime) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
    In the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab
    Deselect all checkboxes currently selected in the Compatibility tab.
    Click Apply.
    Close the Properties window.

  • Can't run iTunes, Apple Application Support program missing.

    Can't run iTunes, Apple Application Support program missing.  It's a brand new computer, never had iTunes installed.  I've attempted 16 installs, each time uninstalling the previous install and verifying no Apple software installed before trying again; I've also been using different browsers, still no luck.  Windows 7, 64 bit.

    Try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). AAS might not install right now, but you may get a more useful error message as to why not, or it might install once the other components have been installed.

  • When I try and Share a project, I get a Quick Time Error -50  Any Ideas?  Apple Care is scratching thier heads.

    When I try and Share (export) a project, I get a Quick Time Error -50  Any Ideas?  Apple Care is scratching their heads.

    Okay, after several hours on the phone w/ Apple Care includiing nearly 10 hours on Wednesday, we finally figured out why I would get a Quicktime Error -50 when I tried to share a project out of FCP X.  The problem was in the music track that I had in the project.  I ripped a track from an audio CD, put in my iTunes then imported into the FCP timeline just as Apple says to do.
    The problem is; iTunes default rippping codec is AAC.  FCPX can't handle AAC compression.  I had to re-rip the audio CD to a uncomressed AIFF file, bring that back into my project and then FCPX could share the file and do it's own copression.
    This was a new discovery for Apple and FCPX.

  • Just bought i touch which while downloading itunes +quick time to HP laptop

    I get error message when it is computing space requirements  ( itunes + quick time can't navigate to file %APPDATA%)--apple support has suggested it is my HP laptop--any ideas?  

    You may have a configuration problem in your network (IP conflict). Are you using DHCP?
    There is also the possibility of some problem with the HP App.
    You should try posting this problem on the HP printer forums. Try here: ePrint, Print Apps, Mobile Printing, and ePrintCenter

  • I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

    I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

    I Had this problem along with the error message that it's missing the driver GNSDK_DSP.DLL. I am Windows XP and fixed the error by going to Start>My Computer>Add or Remove Programs
    When the Add or Remove programs list is "populated", Find iTunes on it. Click the link that says "For more information" and the iTunes box will expand. You will see a button that says "Repair" and it says to reinstall the program if it is not working correctly, use the "Repair" button. I clicked the Repair button and it automatically started the reinstall. When all the progress bars disappear (it doesn't really give you any other indication that its done) click the "close" button and try to open iTunes again. It worked first time for me. I also saw another forum where someone said it worked for the other Windows versions by following the same route, just that in other windows versions it might be "Computer" instead of "My Computer" and the Add or Remove Programs function is also called something else. Hope this helps somebody having this problem. It drove me crazy finding the answer, but the fix was super simple once I found out what to do.

    If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

    If you need a higher iOS, you will have to get a newer model iPod.

  • Compressor Quick Time error: 0

    I was sending a sequence from FCP7 to Compressor, but kept getting  Failed Quick  Time error : 0. Went back to the time line in FCP7 tried to render the sequence but it failed too, after sometime I narrowed down the clip with the problem and found there were frames missing or shifting( not sure what they were doing, take a look at the screen shot you can see right at her shoulders a split screen effect) and a few frames latter the audio dropped out. Here are some screen shots of what it looked like. Because it would render the audio I just cut out the effected video and replaced it with some B- roll and it worked.

    no any audio mp3

  • Quick Time Error message

    I asked this question several months ago and got no answer so will try again.
    It is weird, but when I try to watch a streaming video on the Apple web site or the Adobe site, I get a message saying that my Quicktime plugin in out of date.  I am able to say play this time, but don't know why I am getting this message.  I have both 7.6 and 10.  What is going on?
    Thanks
    Judy

    when I went to open would not saying there was a quick time error....not sure what to do.
    What's the precise text of the error, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • Can we run itunes as a service on windows

    Can we run itunes as a service? If not we really need the dev team to step up and fix it.
    With the new option for sync over wifi we really need a service that runs in the background of our home pc's for the sync. As you know this takes place everytime you apply power, or when you hit the sync now button. So, unless we run itunes in its fullest all the time we can't count on the wifi sync to do what it is designed for. Running itunes eats up computer resources that some people need when doing school work, job work, and other important things. So please build a new version of itunes that allows it to run in the background and serve as a sync service.
    Anyway this might be the wrong place for a suggestion but hopefully someone will get it to the right people.

    Take a look at something called java service wrapper ,
    http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/introduct
    on.htmlNot seen that one before. Ta.
    Alexandria software used to support a simpler app called JavaService... google for that maybe if the above is too much.
