hiya!
error 1714. the older version of quicktime cannont be removed. Contact your technical support group.
okay, let's try this first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
does it go through properly this time? if so, does your itunes launch properly again?
love, b

    I just tried to install latest iTunes version and install failed. A pop-up stated "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. ERROR 7 (Windows error 1114)." I have a decent-sized iTunes library that is not backed-up to the cloud. How can I either get back to the previous iTunes version that was functioning OR install a new version without losing the Library?

    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 (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    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.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I just purchased an IPAD2 and am trying to install ITunes. Itunes will not install. My error message is 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify you have privileges to start system services. This is an XP service Pack 3 and I am the only user.

    I would like to be able to use my IPAD. Itunes will not install. It tells me it cannot start Apple Mobile Device Services I am using XP service Pack 3. I am the administrator. The message also says to verify that I have sufficient privileges to start system services.

  • Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

    Hi!
    So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same  "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
    Tings I have done:
    - Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
    - Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
    - Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
    - Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
    Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

    Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

  • ITunes stopped working on Windows 8. Error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly.

    I have Windows 8. Originally iTunes worked fine, then it couldn't update (said it was unsuccessful). Then it stopped working, so I (after much research) tried a long and tiresome method of removing all Apple products and re-installing them. I did this 3 times and it eventually worked and has been working fine for a few months. Recently, when trying to update, it has said "update successful", but when checking for new updates, finds the same one it supposedly just installed, wanting to install it again. For a few weeks now it has not worked at all, saying "error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly" when I attempt to open iTunes. I can't bring myself to go through the whole process again of uninstalling and reinstalling everything, it took hours and it clearly doesn't solve the problem. I have no idea what the problem is. Reinstalling only iTunes doesn't work. The support pages have no advice available for my crappy version of Windows.
    Please help me!

  • ITunes has not installed properly

    I just recently went to upgrade to iTunes 11 but during the process it came up with error then it continued to download but now after it finished iTunes won't open saying there is an error. I'm currently running windows 7 I just want to know why it's not working I tried also updating QuickTime but still same problem there was a error in download. What can be done. I can't even upgrade my phone now cause it won't open. Plz help.

    Many thanks, that's perfect.
    iTunes.exe entry point not found. The procedure entry point AVCFPlayerEnableHardwareAcceleratedVideoDecoderKey could not be located in dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll. Second message says iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes error 7 (Windows error 127)
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • ITunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (Windows error 998)

    HI
    I had a Trojan and used Malwarebytes to get rid of it and now everything is fine but for some reason everytime I try to open Itunes I get the message ITunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (Windows error 998)
    I have done various searches on this issue and have so far done the following :-
    Complete uninstall of Itunes, Quick Time and all associated programs and then a fresh install. I have also updated Microsoft.net framework. I have run a microsoft IE8 repair tool and have also made another windows user account to see if it was just my own user account.
    None of this has helped and I am still getting the error. Do I really have to do a complete format on my PC or is there anyone out there that can help?

    I've found something that may or may not be relevant.
    Whenever I run CCleaner after installing iTunes I get the following registry errors:
    Missing TypeLib Reference    IUserHelper - {19D52A9A-379C-4720-BA00-3D396ECD24D7}    HKCR\Interface\{915DA835-02FE-4953-92FA-624BDF5D85AB}
    Missing TypeLib Reference    IiPodManagerUI - {19D52A9A-379C-4720-BA00-3D396ECD24D7}    HKCR\Interface\{D775A119-EAC2-4F28-B06E-8AC16F2695DA}
    These always come back when I try and 'Repair' iTunes from the control panel.
    Ideas anyone?

  • Itunes will not install..windows INSTALLER service not available.windows 7

    I am trying to find a fix for this...just bought a new computer with windows 7, all updates have been performed. Itunes will not install...it just stops and says "windows installer service not available" Can't find a stand alone downloadable version of installer 5.0 which is what comes with 7 from the research I have done. I have the newest version of itunes saved on desktop, tried running it from desktop, tried running as admin, tried several other ideas that I found on here and Microsoft..but nothing is working. Any advice?

    Same error message "This version is for a 32 bit computer, yours is a 64 bit!"
    Doublechecking ... by any chance did you migrate a 32-bit version of the iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support and Bonjour programs to the 64-bit machine from a 32-bit machine using the PC Mover utility?
    (Your symptoms are consistent with that ... the installer service throws the message when trying to uninstall the 32-bit itunes and related 32-bit componentry prior to installing the new 64-bit versions.)

  • TS3212 im trying to reinstall but will not allow, due to an error 7,  itunes helper not installed correctly,i have tried several times, but will not allow me to install, i have used itunes for years but now cant use it, can you help

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • ITunes will not install completely due to Windows Logo Test!

    +"The software you are installing for this hardware:+
    iTunes
    +has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP (Tell me why this testing is important.)+
    +This hardware will not be installed. Contact your system administrator."+
    It has been doing this for a few weeks now, and it's only when it tries to install the drivers to my CD/DVD drive. There isn't even a bypass for it provided. I have switched it to ignore the logo test and still it brings the message up every time.
    Also, because of it, I get the annoying message every time I start iTunes:
    +"Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."+
    I've gone through all the motions of uninstalling it and reinstalling it several times. It hasn't helped at all. Please help! I just want this behind me!
    I forgot to mention before that I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a possible answer to this question with no luck, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

    I've been having the similar problems too. For some reason, I can uninstall iTunes, but when I try to uninstall Apple Application Support and Apple Mobile Device Support, I get the "Could not open key: UNKNOWN/COMPONENTS/etc./ Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall. Error 7. Windows error 127." error message. I'm on an admin account on Windows 7 and I've tried setting universal permissions through Regedit for the specific keys in question, but nothing works. I'm also missing the dll files required to run iTunes and its associated programs.
    Please help, this is getting really frustrating!

  • Has anyone ever received the error Itunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall Itunes Error 7 Windows error 126

    I had to reinstall my Itunes account and after installing received this error: This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.
    The other error message that displayed after I tried to reinstall it was "Itunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall Itunes Error 7 (Windows error 126).
    Any assistance with correcting this matter is greatly appreciated.  My ipod is fine, I just need to reinstall Itunes on my computer.
