Itunes Wont start and i think because quicktime wont work either

Hi,
I have a problem with Itunes and Quicktime:
It says on startup of either of them "Quicktime Player/itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
I have the error signatures for both of them below:
Quicktime Player Error Signature: EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.67.75.0
P3 : 4c613a4a P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll P5 : 7.67.75.0 P6 : 4c613a40
P7 : 00005b6d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
Itunes Error Signature: AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 10.0.0.68 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: c4980000
This happens as soon as I try to open Itunes or Quicktime.
I am new to itunes and just got an ipod touch wanted to install itunes and quicktime and it had a problem with windows installer so i reinstalled windows xp and then tried again to install itunes, this time it installed BUT it wouldn't open same with quicktime.
one other thing: I wanted to play an old game on compatiblity mode, so I installed it and it needed an older Quicktime player and the installer came with it so i installed it and when i finished with the game uninstalled it and the old quicktime i attempted to reinstall the new quicktime but the installer woundnt work so i fixed that but now i think it would have something to do with it not working.
I also searched quicktime while it wasn't installed and it came up with all these random files and folders in random places i didn't delete them as i was scared to stuff something up i wanna know if its safe to delete them.
Thanks to any1 who helps

Excellent detailed information. Many thanks.
It'll almost certainly be older QuickTime componentry lurking in unorthodox places on the PC that'll be causing the trouble. First we'll try to track down misplaced stuff in the most common location for it to be causing issues on XP.
You'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in XP.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.

  • ITunes wont work because of DEP

    My itunes wont work because of DEP closing it. I have tried unistalling my quicktime and unistalling my itunes and reinstalling them but it still wont work. i have followed a couple of discussions but  it still wont work. Can someone help me please.

    many thanks. That's got another possibility ruled out.
    Checking again. When you did your iTunes reinstall, was it a complete iTunes uninstall/reinstall as per the instructions from the following documents?

    AIR give you classes to detect an on-line or off-line status, it's in 
    this way for the sake of flexibility for instance what happens if you 
    only what to sync  data only on Saturdays at 2 am? If it were done 
    automatically that'll be a problem. And it isn't so complicated.
    You can download the SalesBuilder from AIR examples at www.adobe.com/devnet/air
      it's an application that does everything you have in mind.
    I don't understand your question abou file types.
    An AIR app can communicate with almost every backend served tech 
    CF, .Net, PHP, RoR.
    Sincerely,
    Michael

    Sorry but I don't quiet understand. I thought AIR did the updating 
    automatically? I didn't realise the developer had to program the 
    logic of how the updates take place?  Is it a case in most AIR apps 
    that when online the app updates the server and once every intervel 
    (of however long) the local SQLite DB is synced to the more updated 
    server DB. Then when offline the developer has to sense that the app 
    is offline and store a log manually of the updates without any help 
    from AIR itself, and then update once it comes online again?
    >
    Can AIR link to anything more than a database on the server side 
    apart from webservices, for example .as files or any other file types?
    >
    What type of server is a Flex app stored on, is it a specific Adobe 
    server rather than a Java or .NET server?

    Thank you so much for your last comment!

  • My lap top wont import pictures from auto play. it keeps saying there is a file error and a device connected to the computer isnt working properly. i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste the pictures but this wont work either.

    my pictures from my i phone 4s wont import from auto play. a message keeps coming up saying there is an error and a device is not working properly. also i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste them but that wont work either. the page either stops responding or the picture simply dont copy. does any1 have any idea why this is happening. it has never happened before and only seems to be happening since i started using i cloud storage instead of synching my phone with the lap top.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Itunes wont work anymore...error 7

    My itunes wont work anymore on my latop, i uninstalled it and reinstalled it but when i try to get in to my itunes and error 7 message will pop up saying that it was installed incorrectly and ive installed it several times to find the same thing happening. I dont know what to do anymore so if someone could help me out i would really appreciate it a lot!!!

    I got an upgrade iTunes request from Apple. And upgraded. I should never have done that. Now it says that "iTunes is not properly installed". Other strange messages are also coming up, like missing .dll files etc.
    I have deleted all Apple programs. Used Revo Uninstall that also deletes registry files and left over files. I have used ByeiTunes and Registry mechanic. I have used everything that is suggested on this site:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
    After doing all this, I got the same error message. So what wrong with Apple? When you have bought the product, you are left out in the dark. I have given up. Synchronizing the calendar with Outlook I can do manually, pictures that I have downloaded to my phone, I can access directly, and pictures taken by the phone I have to send to myself through e-mail. Music I never download using iTunes.
    I have had enough. After this and after Apple has changed the plug that leaves me with 8 useless chargers and stands, there will be Samsung next time. I'm running Windows 7, 64 bits.
    Hans (Professor of Marketingy). I wonder if Apple is reading this?

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
