Itunes wont open because of quicktime

ok i downloaded the latest itunes download and restarted my comp now if i try to open the open itunes i get a message stating itunes cannot run because it detects a problem with quicktime and if i click the help button nothing happens
plz help me i have a lot of music saved

Try removing QUicktime and installing the stand alone version. Also check for incompatible software.
Here is a method
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

Hello, ollieallen.
I am unsure what operating system you are running so I am going to include articles for Windows XP and Vista, 7 and 8. Completely uninstall all components of iTunes and then reinstall the program.

Itunes wont work because of quicktime or something?

ok
well heres the deal
itunes was working fine for me
until one day i decided to upgrade cause it said i should
from then on
now it wont open because it says i need a high version of quicktime. it says i have quicktime 6.5 i and i need 7.0
however
everytime i try to download quicktime 7.0
it still doesnt open
what am i doin wrong?

hi Connie!
how do u kno if u have a k lite mega code pack?
hmm. i think it's something you need to install, so if you don't know you have it, you probably don't have it.
let's try this again, using a QT 7.0.3 standalone installer this time.
first use the QT part of the uninstall instructions given here to get rid of that existing QT you have:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
after you do that, download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and use it to check if you still have an entry for Quicktime. if so, remove it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
then download the standalone QT 7.0.3. save it to your hard drive (we'll run the installation from there rather than online). again, switch off any antivirus and antispyware prior to the install:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
reboot after that install. will itunes run properly now?

My itunes wont open because its not the defualt cd buner

help mi itunes wont open it say there are registry setting missing and to reinstall itunes but i dont want to lose my muisic

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Itunes wont open, not a quicktime problem

i have looked everywhere, tried everything. My quicktime will open but my itunes wont. i click it and my curser stalls like it is about to open but never does. sometimes that white agreement box flashes but goes away without a chance to read or click it. please help! also because i didnt have itunes for so long i got desperate and tried yahoo, but i have a video ipod and somehow yahoo changed the format of my ipod so now i have nothing in movies. and all the shows and movies previously in my ipod are now only sound/song files under artist/album/etc. im hoping once i get itunes back it will straighten everthing out.

hi k3kristaaa!
i have looked everywhere, tried everything. My quicktime will open but my itunes wont. i click it and my curser stalls like it is about to open but never does. sometimes that white agreement box flashes but goes away without a chance to read or click it.
hmmmmmmmm.
you're actually getting an odd mix of symptoms here for an "error-message-free" itunes launch suppression.
the "flash" of the license screen is associated with Qoologic adware. but if you had that, your quicktime shouldn't be launching.
with the Norton Internet Security 2005 launch suppression problems, folks can sometimes get their QT to launch, but that isn't typically associated with the "flash".
so i'm going to doublecheck a few things before proceeding.
(1) are you getting an error message or no error messages whatsoever? if you're getting an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
(2) have a look in your TEMP directory. typically to do that you'll need to adjust your view settings on the PC. for instructions, see the "Empty your Temp directory and restart" section in this document:
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
... do you see a seven character filename with a .tmp extension in there? the first three characters will be letters. the last four will be numbers or the letters A through F.
(we're checking here for a W32.Pinfi infection, which can produce error-message-free itunes launch failures with an erratic mix of symptoms.)

Itunes wont load because of QuickTime

If i try to run itunes a message pops up saying "QuickTime version 7.5 is installed, iTunes requires QuickTime version 7.5.5 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
My problem is that i have the lastest version of quicktime.
How can i fix this???

I had the same problem and after downloading itunes I got the same message. I downloaded Quicktime 7.5.5 standalone using the second option listed (without itunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Then I loaded the new itunes. Works fine again.
PS: I originally uninstalled my old itunes and quicktime. From reading prior messages here, that was unnecessary. I should have loaded quicktime standalone first and then itunes should have worked. Wonder why we all so much trouble this time around.

Did iTunes ever work? Did this horrid message just start suddenly?
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

ITunes wont download because of Quicktime?

When I try to download itunes it wont let me because it says the quicktime is needed. ive tried and tried and i got to the point were i actually downloaded quicktime seperatley and it still does not work. ive checked the forums up and down and i cant find anything. does anyone have any suggetions please?

Could you give the error message in full and exactly what you were doing when you received it.
The iTunes installer includes Quicktime and it should install it unless something goes wrong.
You should down load the installer from here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And save the file on your desktop. It should be called iTunessetup.exe and your run it from the desktop to install iTunes.
Sometimes if there is a problem with installing iTunes it can help to install QUicktime separately. You need the version of Quicktime that does NOT include iTunes, which is not the default option.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
There is an article on trouble installing itunes here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
If that doesn't help, post back with more details of exactly what you did with error messages in full.

Itunes wont open because itfile was created in a newer version?

Hi all,
I tried to download the new iphone software yesterday through itunes.
It told me it was downloading a new version plus a new safari.
It got half way through and the itunes part had a red X through it and didnt continue, instead it completed the safari one and once complete told me to restart my pc which i did.
When i logged back in it said itunes was broken and i should run the repair tool. I tried and it said it failed and that I had to install the whole of itunes again!
I went on the apple website and installed itunes for windows 7 64bit. Once this was complete i tried to open itunes and i now get a message saying that the file (or library) was created in a newer version so cannot open!??
How can this be the case when I have just downloaded the newest version from the apple website!!!?
If any can help that would be great as im left with no way to back up my phone or get the new ios5 on it!!
I have windows 7.
Thanks

I did kinda the same thing....What I was told was that because the server is getting hammered right now, the itunes didnt install correctly ( even though it looks like it did ). The only thing to do is uninstall and reinstall until it works. I was told it may be at least a week with all the new phones coming out today... My phone doesnt work at all now - I have to take it to a store to get it back to factory settings and when the servers slow down and I can reinstall itunes correctly, then I can get all my contacts and apps back.

Itunes wont open because my library was created by a different version?

for a while now, i haven't been able to open itunes. all it would do when i tried to open it was flash the 'terms and agreements window' for a split second, then disappear. after looking over these forums, i took the advice of downloading EWIDO, and ran the program. now it no longer does the terms and agreement thing, but it is giving me the message "the file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
should i simply uninstall and try installing it again?

Before you reinstall, try moving the 'iTunes Library.itl' file out of the 'iTunes' folder (keep a copy of it somewhere).
iTunes should then create a new, blank database file and you can Rebuild your Library by using the File=>Add Folder command within iTunes.
That will reset your Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played attributes, as well as delete all your playlists, but you can recover your music files into iTunes.
Unles you have a prior copy of the ITL file, that's about all you can do.

My itunes wont open,because of audio configeration?

when i try to open my itunes,i get a pop up saying my audio configeration is wrong,i've tried restoring to an earlyer time but get the same responce,havent had a computor long and i'm over 50 so someone help,before I put an axe through my computer,cheers,druby

Since iTunes uses QuickTime to play audio/video content in iTunes, that error message most likely indicates that there's a problem with Quicktime installation.
See if this article helps with that:

ITunes wont open because of runtime error? please help

Whenever I try to open my itunes the window pops up but then is followed by a message saying:
"Runtime Error!
This application has reguested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
Please help guys

Some users here have reported that one cause of the Runtime error is the Apple Software Update, so you might try removing that and see if that fixes the problem. Removing the Software Update shouldn't affect iTunes itself (though as with any software maintenance operation, it would be wise to make a backup of your purchased tracks before you try it), you just won't get automatic update checking.
Hope this helps.

New MBP, itunes wont open because file is newer version

I got a new macbook pro tonight and sent my itunes over. When I try and open it says my itunes file is newer then my version. When I try a system update I get a file cannot be found message. Any thoughts?

Sorry, yes I meant a software update. Once I downloaded the software and it didnt work it went away but it said something along the lines of files cannot be found. I am going to downlaod the new version and then delete the old application and reinstall it to see if that works.

ITunes wont open because I'm missing msvcr80.dll? It said to remove iTunes and install again but it wont work, HELP?

I just want my iTunes back I think I accidentally deleted msvcr80.dll? What should I do?

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.
