Downloading iTunes Without QuickTime

From the latest update from Apple to iTunes users with Windows XP, there have been many having a problem opening iTunes without receiving an error. The latest resolution posted was to download an older version of QuickTime first, and then download iTunes without QuickTime bundled. This is where the fun begins. All web sites I have searched so far claim to have the iTunes download without QuickTime, but they all include QuickTime with the download.
Does anyone have an idea of where you can download iTunes without QuickTime bundled? Thanks!

Have you tried downloading the installer for Quicktime Pro 7.3 + iTunes and running it?
It should come up with two options "Repair" or "Uninstall" ... then choose repair and it should install iTunes 7.5 ... try that and see if it works. Instead of downloading iTunes + Quicktime, you download Quicktime + iTunes ... I know it's the same thing, but the installation of Quicktime is then checked first, and that accounts for the "Pro" paying customer part.

Download iTunes without Quicktime?

Is it possible to download iTunes for windows without getting Quicktime? If so where?
Failing that is it still possible to download an earlier version of Itunes what has Quicktime version 7.6.2 or earlier.
The reason that I ask is that there is a conflict between Quicktime 7.6.3 & Sony Vegas video.

Ditto!
I have the same issue. Why should I pay again to upgrade software I have no wish to upgrade, in order to be able to take advantage of a free upgrade to a free product.
If anyone can answer this, feel free!

Itunes without quicktime

I was unable to install the 35.1 mb itunes program after downloading it- I'd click, nothing would happen at all. No error messages or anything. So I decided to try downloading and installing each portion (itunes and quicktime) separately.
Okay, I have uninstalled all quicktime applications, and downloaded and reinstalled the newest version of quicktime. Maybe I am completely overlooking the obvious, but where do I find itunes without quicktime?

Well, after 5 days of wrestling with this iPod and the iTunes programming, I finally found the solution. This is after repeated download and install attempts, and one unsuccessful call to customer support (I was on hold, after speaking with a representative, and was disconnected). The final solution is to take the iPod back to the dealer, and exchange it for another brand, that comes with an installation CD and music manager. We managed to listen to the pre-installed free music that came with the mp3 player on our way home from the store. I am already so much happier, just knowing that I don't have to work with that cotton-pickin' iPod any more.

I can not open itunes without quicktime 7.5.5 why ?

i can not open itunes without quicktime 7.5.5 why ?

You don't provide us with much background infomation such as operating system version you are using, but usually when I see this kind of question it gets answered by:
QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. I recently helped where the person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.
Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979 - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

How do I download itunes and quicktime for os 10.6.8

how do I download itunes and quicktime for os 10.6.8?

If you're using Mac OS X 10.5.8, click here and here.
If you're using Mac OS X 10.6.8, run Software Update and download iTunes 11. Unless you need QuickTime 7 or QuickTime Pro's functionality, no separate QuickTime downloads are needed or available.

Need itunes without quicktime and cd burning

can i get itunes without quicktime and cd burning? i don't need it
and of course a version working on vista 64

Unfortunately, iTunes will not function properly without Quicktime (usually by popping up the 'iTunes has encountered a problem' message). It's needed for iTunes to play media.
Also, any 64 bit edition of Windows is unsupported by iTunes, and has a whole lot of problems with CD burning/importing. More information on that is listed here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301

HOW TO: Install Itunes without Quicktime/Bonjour - Windows 7

You need iTunes without the bloat? Don't know what the bloat is? I'll help you. Now I don't know if this has been explained elsewhere, I only found some older topics and google results that didn't explain all the points required so I'm redoing it.
_NOTE: DO THIS ON THE DESKTOP_ (You'll see why later ;D)
First is the Preperation;
Get the appropriate iTunes (my instructions are from the point of view of 64bit but they won't differ all that much)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Go here and download the newest one (at time of writing thats QT Lite 4.1.0):
http://www.vistacodec.com/fc/QT_Lite-410.exe
Please download/move/save these to the desktop.
The Extraction
Right click on the iTunes64Setup.exe [iTunesSetup.exe for 32bit]
Navigate to your extraction program, I'm using 7zip so I navigate to "Extract Here". I'm sure you can go it alone if you don't use 7zip (because more fool you)
Then we will have a bunch of exe's and msi's on the desktop, of which we now need to delete several.
This is the Deletion;
If you don't want both Quicktime and Bonjour, which I'll assume you don't because they impact performance and limit your control of media files, then you need to delete:
Bonjour64.msi
Quicktime64.msi
If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch then skip this one point (though I have an iPod Touch I don't yet intend to use it with iTunes so I still deleted this, after all you can install it later from this single file). Delete:
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
Now this is an important one, all updates must be done manually in this exact same manner, just come back here and follow the instructions again, otherwise iTunes will include the bloat in the update. Delete:
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
(Ignore SetupAdmin.exe, because I don't know what it does :D)
Almost there, but first it's the +Linux Experience+;
In you're start menu there should be a "Command Prompt" shortcut, click it. If not don't worry, on your start menu click "Run" and type in:
cmd.exe
Press enter and Bob's your uncle.
Otherwise right click on your desktop in empty space, highlight "New", select "Shortcut" and the location is:
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe
When that's done just click the shortcut and Fanny's your aunt.
Now you'll notice that each line begins with:
C:\Users\YOURNAME>
That's because it's the location this terminal is currently navigated to, like a web browser or the plain old windows explorer, just text based though.
We need to change the directory you are in and the command for this conveniently is:
cd
And this is why I told you to do it all on the Desktop, because now all you have to do is change directory to the Desktop, which is one folder away. So, type this in the terminal (that's the command prompt window):
cd Desktop
You'll notice that the prefix has changed to:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\Desktop>
That's good
Keep this window open and move on boys and girls.
Next, the biggie, +Installation Part One+;
We're mostly borrowing from this lovely persons thread, so I ought to give it a mention:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1704004&tstart=15
Now we follow the last step on the thread linked, in case you're a philistine here it is...
In that (command prompt) terminal window, type:
iTunes64.msi /passive
For those with 32bit i can only imagine it would be:
iTunes.msi /passive
Then just sit back and let it run silently until you recieve an error message pertaining to the failure of iTunes without "Apple Aplication Support", when this arises just click ok or whatever shuts it up and move to the next step.
Lastly, finally, is +Installation Part Deux+;
Double click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and just follow it through leaving everything as it is.
Then, remember that other download I got you to do? QT Lite? Well double click on that and install it. At the end tick the "Configure Settings" box and just tweak them to be supaqwik, like maximising the web cache or whatever. Use your judgment.
When that's done click apply/ok and... we're done!
Just click/double click the itunes icon and you'll see an improvement straight away.
Sorry if this tutorial was a bit too much like a Quentin Tarantino film for ya' but I gotta keep my brain from leaking out my ears, somehow
Enjoy, and if it's been done before I just hope it hasn't been done better.
I looked all over the internet and using the linked thread and some smarts; I got here, with you, and iTunes sans bloat.

QuickTime is required for iTunes to run. You can think of iTunes as a media manager "front end" to QuickTime which handles the actual playing of the media.
Safari was an optional install when I installed iTunes on my Windows system. I wasn't forced to install Safari. MobileMe is also no longer automatically installed, though it will update if it finds an existing installation. I didn't get it forced on me when I installed on my Vista system.

One tip: it will pay better dividends if you avoid ranting. Apple won't see your rants (except to delete them) and we, your fellow users who are with rare exceptions the only ones participating here, don't really want to be yelled at.

I can't download iTunes or quicktime

So once in a while itunes tells me to they're updates so i update itunes but an error shows up. so i uninstalled intunes and everything that came with it and try to reinstall it. But the same error pops up:" could not write value to key \Software\Classes\iTunes.aa\shell\open\command. Verify that you have suffcient access to that key or contact your support personnel. And i checked if my account was an adminstrator and it is and i also went to teh registry to see if i havefull control and i did. The same thing happens with QuickTime. Please help.

Hi jaspreet28!
You'll want to make sure you have uninstalled all of the components of iTunes which are listed in the following article:

Unable to download itunes or quicktime

I'm having some problems installing itunes and quicktime on my computer. My computer is an acer 5920g and my os is windows vista. After I download itunes and try to run it, it starts to install but then I get the following message:
"Could not open key
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Media
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact support personnel"
Itunes then uninstalls itself. I've tried to install quicktime on its own but get the same message

HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Media
Hmmmm. First quit Internet Explorer and restart the PC. Don't open Internet Explorer after the PC restarts.
Open your "Start" menu. Type run into your "Start Search". Right-click on the run that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
In the Run line that comes up, type regedit and hit enter.
Expand HKEYCURRENTUSER
Expand Software
Expand Microsoft
Expand Internet Explorer
Right-click on Media, and select "Permissions". Does your user account have full permissions on that Media key?

Can't download itunes or quicktime.

(I have an ipod nano 6th gen.)
I got on my itunes Tuesday 11/8/2011 and it said it saw that my ipod was connected but it couldnt read it on itunes. I looked all over the computer for an answer and nothing helped. Finally I came across one that told me to unistall everything and try again so I did. I did everything the site said to do but when it came to downloading itunes again I couldnt even download it. Every time I try it freezes on this
Then I'll wait and wait and wait and I will finally get this message
So then it rolls back uninstailing everything and there is nothing I can do about it. I found a site that said I needed to have an updated version of quicktime so I thought my troubles might be over. I downloaded quicktime and went through the same process.
Now I dont understand what this error message means but I kept looking for an answer. This page said to try using winRAR to get around the error on itunes by opening and repairing the problem "AppleApplicationSupport.msi" and the same thing happened I got the same ( 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32"...... )
Then sometimes my itunes will roll back and try again but this time I will get the message
I will retry and retry for nothing. So I start all over again and get the same results I dont know what else to do. So please help I cant imagine I'm the only person having this problem, Thank you.

it downloads completely then a screen pops up asking me to select a supporter for itunes. I can't pick any of them because none of them have anything to do with itunes.
That sounds very odd.
Could you please take a screenshot of that screen, post it on an image hosting site, and give us a link to the image?

Why cant i download itunes or quicktime?

every SINGLE time i try to download itunes it says we need quick time so i go back and try to download quicktime first and its telling me i cant because i need quicktime. i try to download quicktime& itunes at the same time but it still shows that i need quick time.
in addition when its installing i gets to removing some kind of quicktime files under status and thats when it says it failed.

If you'd calmly ask a question rather than ranting and cursing, you'd probably save yourself a lot of grief and anguish. iTunes 10.6.3 is still available for Mac OS X 10.5.8.

My pc does not allow me to download itunes or quicktime because it says that there is an unvalid signature...

regularly Itunes tells me that there are updates for itunes, quicktime or safari or something else but when i try to download them the computer tells me that there is a not valid signature and it is not possible to install the update. what can i do?

Same problem- I literally cannot sync my new iPad with iTunes because I cannot download iTunes 10.5 or QuickTime. I have tried everything including connecting to wired connection, turning on home sharing, and re-installing iTunes. Please help- it is making me crazy. I am running windows 7 on a new(a few months old) toshiba.

I deleted iTunes from my PC, is there any way i can sync my phone to a newly downloaded iTunes without losing my music that wasn't purchased from iTunes?

BACK-STORY
I recently was given a new iPhone 4S from the Apple Store, I synced it to my PC when I got home and got everything back.I had to uninstall a download of windows 8.1 back to the original windows 8 in order to install an anti-virus software. The only way to uninstall Windows 8.1 is basically a factory reset, by doing so I lost everything that wasn't saved in cloud or external drive.I downloaded iTunes again, signed in and the only thing I could find was the music that I purchased from iTunes. I don't want to connect my phone to the iTunes I just downloaded,because I think I'm going to lose all the music that's already on there, minus the music I bought from iTunes. It's a lot of albums and it took me a while to collect them all too.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH PLEASE
Can I transfer the music on my phone to some type of storage?
USB memory drive
Cloud ex. Skydrive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc
Store somewhere on my PC. (I know I can't sync from my iPhone to iTunes.)
If it is at all possible to store the music that's already on my iPhone using another method,such as the ones I've mentioned or haven't,can I then transfer it to iTunes?
If there is no way to save my iPhone's music library, then when I rebuild it is there a way to store it, that if the same thing was to happen I wouldn't have to go through this process?
Also, any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL!!

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

Itunes can't play recent TV Show (downloaded via itunes) without Quicktime and can't sink same show to IPod??

Problem 1:
I recently bought the HD Season Pass to Please Like Me's second season, and when I went to go watch the first (and as of this writing the only) episode, Itunes kindly informed that I needed QuickTime to watch it. Installing Quicktime has not solved this.
The QuickTime pop-up also came with a 'more info' button which according to that link, QuickTime is needed for older media (which considering this season is of the more recent variety (aka THIS MONTH) I would consider this to not be 'older'). Itunes otherwise more or less outright says that media of any variety should be able to be played just by Itunes, especially if you literally just bought it off the Itunes store.
Itunes is updated to the most recent version. I'm running on Windows 8.
Problem 2:
With the same aforementioned media, when I tried to sync it to my Ipod Touch (5th Gen, up to date), I was greeted with the lovely little message that more or less said that 'x was not synced because x cannot be played on this Ipod'. Following this I went to the iTunes store on my Ipod and downloaded it from there and lo and behold, it has downloaded with no problems.
So why is it that I had to go the more roundabout way and time consuming way to transfer the episode?

Hello bianca729
I would check to make sure you can download the show again. If you can, then delete the show and download the TV show again. If it still not working, then report the issue with the download with the other article below.
