Quicktime won't uninstall and itunes won't open

Originally I was having problems opening itunes, an error message appeared saying windows has encoutered an error and needs to close. I then tried uninstalled itunes and reinstalling, and I still couldn't open itunes, I then read that it might be related to quicktime so I tried uninstalling quicktime too. Quicktime would come up with an error "fatal error during installation". I tried remove quicktime from my programs, tried the windows installer cleanup utility to remove quicktime, and tried deleting some files from system32. I tried reinstalling quicktime again after a reboot, and it comes up with quicktime is currently running on a newer version and so cannot install.
My itunes still won't open and I can't get rid of quicktime either.
Someone please help...

I have same problem. have searched and deleted all all quicktime related files i can find doing"quicktime" search.
I have this error when trying to remove or install quicktime or itunes:
Error 1316.A network error has occurred while attemting or read from the file
C:WINDOWS\Installer\QuickTime.msi
there is not "installer" folder in windows, nor a quicktime.msi file.
why would the download think there was?

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

4Gen iTouch won't upgrade, and iTunes won't either. HELP!

Try disabling the computer's security software during the download and update.

Quicktime 7.1.3 and iTunes won't open .mp4 movies

Both my PowerMac G4 and MacBook will not open mp4 files in quicktime anymore. After updating both programs movies that used to play now will not play nor import into the itunes library. Quicktime gives an error "the movie could not be opened"

Did you repair permissions (and I know you didn't)?
If not, do that.
Download the full installer for iTunes and QT separately and if necessary, repair permisisons, install them , repair pemissions again after the reboot.

New update won't install and iTunes won't open

Trying to install the latest update to iTunes. It won't run and now all I get is a blank dialog screen when I open iTunes. Anyone else having this problem?

TS3274 Original iPad won't charge, won't update and iTunes won't recognize

I have one of the first generation iPads that won't charge unless it is completely drained of power. Also if after it shuts off from 0% power ifr any reason it gets turned back on while plugged in, it stops charging and won't continue to charge until the device is completely drained again. Also iTunes won't recognize the device AND it is operating under iOS 5.1.1 and says the software is up to date and won't update at all. I have tried different plugs, different computers, nothing works. Is my iPad just too old?

The failure to update isn't an issue. The iPad one is maxed out at 5.1.1.
The other issues may be an issue with the battery, or charging port or software inside. You may want to make an appointment to get it checked out, but even if what's broken is a manufacturer's defect you're outside of any warranty so the most you'll get is the offer of an out of warranty replacement for a fee. might ultimately be cheaper to put that money towards a new device.
Have you tried to give your iPad a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

Quicktime Error Code ; -3 and iTunes will not open!!!

I have attempted to install iTunes and am recieving Error Code : -3 when it trys to install quicktime...Then when I attempt to open Itunes after the installation it tells me that 'iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing'. How can I resolved this so that iTunes 6 runs correctly, and I can use my iPod??

When I try and install Quicktime, this message appears when it gets to the stage of 'Error 1402: Could not open key HKEY/LOCALMACHINE/SOFTWARE/Apple Computer Inc./Quicktime/InstalledFiles/QuicktimeUpdater.exe. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel'. Then after pressing OK, this error message appears 'Error -1603 Fatal Error during installation.

My iphone 4 won't sync, won't update, and itunes won't load?

My iphone won't sync, update, and I can't even get itunes to load right?

Hi Spacelionx,
I do have Entourage checked and every other thing that is in that box on my phone. Thanks, I wish it had been that simple.

NOTE: Fix if QT won't install and iTunes won't run

Try downloading Quicktime Alternative at: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/QuickTimeAlternativeQT7/1049831315/1
thats how I got past the Quicktime is not properly installed error!
P.S. I had the QT app and it said it the same thing! LOL

update: I reinstalled iTunes and it's working now

Why is Lion so slow? Everything takes 2-3X as long as before and iTunes won't play most of my movies.

Got Lion. Now, opening a movie with Quicktime takes 10 seconds, opening ANY application takes twice as long as before, and iTunes won't play most of my movies that used to play in previous versions of iTunes. I'm frustrated. Even the web is markedly slower with pages taking 5-6 seconds to load up (and they are simple pages sans videos).
What gives? Any solutions? Anyone having similar issues?
The ONLY thing that took less time was Disk Utility...it ran in 4 minutes when it used to take 7--8 minutes.

Lion is much more demanding on memory. It is almost unusable on my computers that have 2 gig of memory. On the macbook air I am typing this from, it is using 1.5 Gig of memory out of 2 gig. Anything like playing a movie is going to be quite compromised. SL used about 400 MB for normal low-demand operations. The memory is soldered on in this laptop, so I am screwed, but it is fairly cheap and easy to add memory to most others. OWC is a good place to look. Max it out. I think your iMac can take 6 GB.

Safari and itunes won't open

I was using my mac 3 days ago and everything was fine, then comcast had a internet problem and I lost service for 3 days now I have internet but safari and itunes won't open the icon bounces once and then nothing. I have removed them from the dock, and removed them from the app folder, I also removed the plist and cache files from the home directory. Using firefox I tried to download new copies of them both and nothing new appears on my desktop. I have run the hardware test utility on my osx discs and everthing checks out ok. I am so frustrated, this is the first real problem with my mac since I got it 2.5 years ago. thanks in advance

ok here is an update, I repaired permissions in disk utility with my boot disk, then verified the volume and the volume had errors. I tried to repair the volume and disk utility said I had sibling errors and could not repair. I had an appointment with the genius bar and they determined that with the unrepairable errors on the drive an erase and install was necessary, after coming to grips with this reality I decided to backup everything and do the reformat and upgrade to leopard. I can honestly say that the genius bar person was very courteous and professional. They allowed me to stay at the bar while backing up my files onto my lacie external drive and then installed a new copy of leopard from their lacie drive (after I paid for my copy of leopard) which took 20 minutes instead of 2 hours. I am frustrated that I had to do this whole process and the genius bar employee could not tell me why it happened but the system is working great and I am enjoying the new operating system.

sounds like your phone was hacked to work with your carrier. Now it is relocked to the rightful carrier. It cannot be reactivated without a SIM from that carrier.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
\\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

HT201209 We have a gift card for iTunes that was purchased in the United States and we live in Canada and iTunes won't allow us to redeem it. Is there any way we can exchange it?

Sorry, but as KP guessed, Apple will not exchange the card, and you are correct that you can't use a US iTunes card in Canada. You will need to give or sell it to someone in the US.
Regards.
