A really weird setback. iTunes 7 problem.

Whenever I try to open iTunes, it says that my quicktime version is outdated, and I can't open itunes. I apparently need version 7.1.3, while I only have the measly 7.1. The weird thing is, when I open quicktime and go to help > about, it says I have 7.1.3. What could the problem be?
I've tried the following:
-Repair
-Removing and reinstalling
-Re-downloading the installer and repairing
-Re-downloading and removing, followed by reinstalling

yeah, things are moving pretty quickly here ... reminds me of the iTunes 5.0.0.35 days.
okay, plausibly you might have some skunky QT 7.1 installation configuration information stuck on the PC that is confusing your current itunes.
so let's try this.
head into Add/Remove programs and uninstall any instance of QT that you find in there.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to check for any leftover QuickTime installation configuration information on your PC. if you find any, remove it with CleanUp:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
... then try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • REALLY WEIRD MACBOOK PRO PROBLEM

    okay, i really need some help on this. my itunes (v 10.2.2) has been randomly playing songs when i play youtube videos, and just a few hours ago i was watching a video and every few seconds music started playing. after the fourth or fifth time stopping the music, i switched screens back to the video and there were these three or four 'Z's displayed vertically across the video screen only, and i though it was part of the video, but then there was this odd noise that was sort of like a fog horn coming from the headphones i had on the computer went to sleep. i was really scared for a second so ive been trying to avoid it (but im typing on it right now and i really dont want to) for the rest of the day. i checked the processes in terminal and everything was fine. i quit itunes and shut it down. i honestly am really scared ive only had it since this last christmas (2010 christmas), so please help!!

    Hi,
    Try a startup in Safe Mode. If that does not fix it, perhaps you should take it in to the Apple store, as it is still under warranty. Here is the link for the Genius Bar.

  • Really weird ipod touch problem

    so the day i got my ipod touch i was really careful with it i pretty much kept it in one place all day and night but in the morning a strang mark had appeared on the back of it, kind of dark greyish with little dots, looks almost like a small fingerprint, small though, a litle smaller than the apple logo on the back...so anyway i took it to the apple store yesterday they told me they have never seen this problem before and they gave me a brand new one....everything worked perfectly fine with my new one and i took extra care to make sure it wasnt damaged or near anything hot or something like that i pretty much just kept it in the same place all day and night again but then this morning i woke up and the same mark was there again on the back of it cant remmeber if its in the same place or not but its on the same level as the other one was but i cant remember if the first one was on the right or left side, but its on the left side adjacent to the apple logo on the back about a quarter of an inch away from it....i hadnt dropped it, put it next to anything hot, it was sitting in the same place almost all night just like the first one..... the apple people are baffled they offered to give me a new one but i think it will just hapen again...so what could be the problem!?!?
    at this point im starting to think its a poltergeist

    The second ipod was in a different location on top of my wooden dresser in my room, in a one story house, inside the ipod sock, when it wasnt in the sock it was on a wooden table plugged into my macbook for activation
    first time it was on top of a wooden table not near any windows, and the temperature inside my room is rather cool
    here, in the suburbs of san diego CA, the temperature is mild right now, not too hot not too cold so...
    the ipod was on its back both times
    both times it took me one day to see it, from the time of purchase to the next morning...
    thanks!

  • Totally weird bluetooth iTunes problem

    Okay this is the most bizarre thing ever I think.
    I bought a 30-pin bluetooth adapter for my iPhone dock so I can use my iPhone 5 with it.
    Plugged it in & synched no problem (device identifies as 'Arcadia')
    Tried to play iTunes from my phone & it flicked quickly through a few covers by itself then indicated that it was playing but no audio was coming out.
    I flicked to next song same thing. Tried to have it pause play but it wouldn't.
    The slider showed that it was 'stuck' at the start of the song so I slide it halfway into the song and... the song played backwards in 5 second jumps...
    Rebooted the phone & the adapter, re-synched etc etc but still the same. Plays backwards in jumps.
    Is this the weirdest or what?

    I've been having the EXACT SAME problem for months now... still no resolution. Been to a store, they couldnt help either.

  • Weird MSN-iTunes Problem

    So, today, when I started up an iTunes song, a message popped up saying "Windows Live Messenger has had an error and needs to close." I exit iTunes, and I get a message saying "one or more applications is using iTunes scripting interface, quit or don't quit". I then open both programs back up, play a song in iTunes, and I get the same result. Restarted computer, same results. Then I went to a site I frequented and asked for help on the problem, and someone told me to uncheck the "Show songs I'm listening to" setting, and I did. Everything magically works again. So, the problem itself has been resolved. But my question to you folks here is, why now? I've had my current version of MSN and iTunes for months now, with this setting checked and no problems. Is there anything I can do to make it so I can use that setting again?

    Download the Windows Live Messenger plug-in for itunes again?
    If that still doesn't work, try a repair install of itunes.
    Since messenger is giving the error, I think it's the one that needs attention.

  • Really weird and annoying problem

    When I double click on a waveform (I forget the name of that small window that comes up), and play back just that one audio object in that window, it acts like it has a really extreme gate on it, only letting through very loud sounds, while the rest is just quiet. This is extremely annoying because I want to edit certain parts, and I can't find out what I need to select because I can't hear anything. Suggestions?

    (I forget the name of that small window that comes up)
    Sample Editor
    does it sounds like it's double the speed from the original?distorted?
    is it an apple loop the audio you trying to open in the sample editor?

  • Really weird laptop problem, please help!

    Hi,
    I just got a new laptop this weekend, Lenovo S205, everything is perfect and so far I love it.
    However, one really weird problem i cannot find an answer for anywhere.
    When I shut the laptop down it instantly restarts. Doesnt matter if I hold the power button down either, as soon as I let go it boots back up.
    I have no peripherals plugged in or anything. 
    I'm totally stumped!!
    Its really annoying as the only way to turn my laptop off is to unplugged the battery, or just let it run down.
    Any ideas much appreciated.

    Hi and welcome,
    did you prove your energymanagement & a few windows settings  at the end of this EM Settings in knowledgebase...
    as well something could provoke restart instead of shutdown ...
    Best is to exclude software failure,  restore to factory condition with dvds ..  Create Factory Disc
    after factory restore ... if your S205 have same behaviour ...call your local service..

  • Really weird problem -- won't download mail from one sender

    I'm having a really weird problem. Apple Mail won't retrieve mail from my Gmail account via POP3 from one sender only. All other mail is downloaded normally, except from a particular sender. What could be causing this? Thanks.

    I am trying to remember and research something about the Junk filter and Gmail accounts. Have you checked in your Junk mailbox, if Junk in enabled and there is a separate Junk mailbox?
    If you click on my name to the left, and look in the bio line of the resulting Profile, you will find an email address you can reach me with. If you email me at that address, I will send you a Gmail address that your sender can test sending a message to me at my Gmail account.

  • Some playlists don't show up - weird iPod syncing problems

    Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere - couldn't find the answer when I was searching the boards last night. Don't know if this is an iTunes problem or an issue with the touch...
    Last night, I plugged my iPod touch (1G) into my MacPro to add some new music. This is when things got weird!
    First, I noticed that my iPod's name had mysteriously changed since the last time I synced it. It used to be called "Christine's iPod" and now it has reverted to the default "iPod touch."
    Next, when I went to add some different playlists to the iPod, I noticed that one of the playlists I wanted to add didn't show up in the Music tab, so I couldn't "tick" it for inclusion on the iPod. This isn't a new playlist, and I have successfully synced it with this iPod in the past. I tried renaming the playlist and making a new playlist with the same songs, and neither of these playlists showed up either. BTW, I definitely don't have too many playlists - I probably have 100-150 playlists total.
    Anyway, I restored my iPod and starting from scratch - and the playlist still didn't appear to be available to sync. I ended up adding the playlist by "manually managing" my music, but this isn't an ideal solution. I'd like to be able to sync the playlist!!
    Don't know if it's relevant, but my bf also has an iPod touch that he syncs to the same iTunes account. We have separate computer logins, and our iTunes Library is on a shared disk on our MacPro (to prevent needlessly wasting HD space due to song replication) and occasionally we both get messages saying we don't own or don't have permission to access the Library when opening iTunes. To solve this, we alter the permissions on the disk and apply to enclosed items. Maybe this happens after updating iTunes or adding new songs? Not certain what triggers it.
    Thanks in advance - this is really bugging me!

    This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

  • Dock acting really weird - Please help!

    After installing the Mobile ME update and iTunes 7.7, my dock has been acting really weird.
    1. I usually set the default dock size at the smallest possible. However, now when you left click on the separator of folders and applications, it allows the dock to become smaller than possible when setting from the Preference Pane
    2. The dock automatically becomes smaller over time until the icons are really tiny.
    Is this a bug encountered by anyone else? It really bugs me that I have to keep pulling the dock to a standard size. Can someone please help me out of this mess?

    Hey VK
    Thanks for the quick response.
    I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
    While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
    1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
    2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
    3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
    Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
    4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
    5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
    6. Choose it to be set at bottom
    Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
    7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
    8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!

  • Really Weird Bug?

    I have this really weird bug on my mac. I don't think the manual says anything about this so I have come here. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, music starts playing. I have never heard this music before (besides during this bug) and there is no way to turn it off besides restarting the computer. Restarting the computer is a temporary fix, but the music comes back after awhile. No applications have to be open in order for the music to start playing. I have even quit all applications (including finder) in order to try to stop the music but none of it works. (And BTW it can start without itunes opening up. I never opened itunes and it all of a sudden started so it is not an itunes problem) I have absolutely no idea how to fix the bug, so somebody help?????

    Hahaha it was a really big DUH for me, so Duh thats its embarrassing...sorry guys lol

  • Weird Firewire backup problem

    Hi all,
    I'm currently suffering from a really weird firewire problem that's affecting my backups and given the fun I've been having with the recent updates I'm not inclined to do anymore updates until I get this problem sorted.
    My firewire drive is split into three partitions, two are used for backing up my PowerBook and the third partition holds iTunes and some other stuff.
    I boot into safe mode and use Disk Utility to restore my disk onto one of two backup partitions. Today I did a backup onto one of my partitions (Three) and rebooted (setting that partition as the boot disk) but for some reason my machine booted from the other partition on the firewire disk (Four.)
    I've tried this several times now and even attempted a second backup but it appears that Three is simply not seen, or if it is then somehow it is being linked to partition Four.
    The reason I think it's being ignored or there is some sort of weird link there is because if it was trying to boot from Three but failing then I should see either a flashing apple sign or I should receive a kernel panic but this isn't happening. Four is definately booting when it should be Three.
    I don't suppose anybody has any ideas about why this is happening?
    Thanks
    Richard

    Ignore permissions was unchecked, I've got into the habit of doing that as soon as the restore is complete. In the end I booted from the volume that I was leaving alone, I then restored the PowerBook to the other volume and it worked fine. I don't recall having to used to have to do it this way before so maybe something has been tweaked somewhere with 10.4.3.
    I just need to remember this for next time.
    Thanks.

  • Itunes problem with windows Vista

    ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
    However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
    Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
    Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
    So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

    It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
    This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

  • Using iWeb to publish my mobileme photo gallery -really weird bugs help plz

    I have a really weird problem and have tried searching the forums already with no luck.
    I'm using iWeb09 to put mobileme photo album on my website. When I initially add the widget onto my page, the widgets will show a "preview" of what pictures are in the gallery if you hover your mouse over it. Later during the day, I'm not sure if I did anything to mess it up but that "preview" is no longer there. It's just a black box. It still works however if you click on it because it takes you to the mobile gallery.
    The only way for me to fix it was to delete the mobile me album and create a new one. Then re-add the widget onto my iWeb.
    This has happened twice to me already and I cannot figure out why it happens. I'm sorry if my description is vague. Please help.

    There is no point in re-installing iWeb, because after you have published it really is not an iWeb problem - if there is something not working on uploading the files, then it is really nothing to do with iWeb after html pages have been created.
    If you are using Fetch to upload, then you have obviously published your site to a local folder? If so, are the photos there when you look at your local site? If they are there when you publish to a local site, then it is an error in uploading and if photos do not show, it means that some things are not being uploaded to your server correctly.
    Have you tried using Cyberduck instead of Fetch? Cyberduck or Transmit are two of the better ftp programmes to try.

  • Is My Iphone 3gs the only one that does this really weird glitch

    ok i have a issue i looked everywhere and i did not see anything in the forums about this
    when i am replying to a text message and auto-spell types something so i hit the back button/delete key to rewrite what i want to type and it does not delete the text it just goes over the letters and doesn't delete it and sometimes the cursor will just get stuck and sometimes the cursor when i am deleting text will keep going over the letters i am typing and doesn't do anything , so as i hit back/delete button on keyboard it just keeps going over the letters and does not delete its really weird, and this is my 2nd new iphone 3gs for a different issue, and they both did that.
    what i want to know is if this is a hardware problem and should i take it in to get it replaced again which i hate doing,since i got a good iphone 3gs this time...has this happened to anyone else,or does this happen to anyone else
    any help would great thank you

    Well if it happened to 2 different iphones perhaps something is corrupted in your backup restore file. By restoring your new phone with this old backup restore file u may be copying over the problem.
    Solution: Restore and setup your iphone as a 'New' phone instead of restoring from a previous backup. This should solve your problem.
