Accidentally deleted Quicktime and it wont install again

Hi, I accidentally deleted Quicktime X from my computer and emptied the trash. When I went to install Quicktime again from Apple, it says it wont let me. In the Install window is says, "Quicktime cant be installed on this disk. This version Quicktime 7 cant be installed on this disk because Quicktime X is already present. Please use Software update to install the appropriate version of Quicktime for your Mac."

Use Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.6 DVD and then run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • Quicktime and itunes wont install. I have never had quicktime installed on my computer before

    I recently bought an ipod touch 4g and realized that I needed itunes to activate it. After downloading itunes it wouldn't install, no error messages or anything, when I click on the installer it just doesn't do anything.
    After downloading several versions of itunes (older versions) I finally found one that started to install. Then it told me that I need Quicktime on my computer in order for it to install. So I downloaded the latest version of quicktime and had the same problem, when I click on the installer, nothing happens. I tried downloading older versions of quicktime but still had the same problem.
    I have never had quicktime or itunes installed on this computer before, so I know that it isn't an older version of the program hidden in my computer that is preventing the installation from happening.
    My computer is running on Windows 7. I know that there wasn't a problem with downloading the software, the files weren't corrupted or anything. There are no error messages, the software doesn't even partially install. When I click on the installer, nothing happens. I have tried running the programs as an administrator and that doesn't change anything.
    I have tried so many different things, but can't remember everything that I tried. Yesterday I spent nearly 10 hours trying to sort this out because I was determined to get my ipod running. I only stopped when my internet credit ran out and today after buying some more, I am trying again. Please help.

    I appreciate the quick response, thank you for that.
    One thing I did try was windows cleanup utility and searched through the program files for all apple software, but had none. I even deleted the temp files on my computer, and on my internet browser, but nothing happened.
    One thing that I didn't think of was deleting the installation files in my downloads folder, pretty silly of me but I didn't think it would make a difference. I also spent about 2-3gig on downloads yesterday and didn't want to delete the files but as a last resort I did and emptied my recycle bin, then downloaded a fresh copy of Quicktime and finally it installed!
    Now I am in the process of downloading a fresh copy of iTunes, the download hasn't finished yet so I haven't had a chance to install it yet but I have a much better feeling about it this time after deleting all the old installation files from my downloads folder. If Quicktime worked after that, I am sure iTunes will.
    I can't believe it was something so simple as deleting the installation files in my downloads folder and emptying the recycle bin. I had seriously gone through my entire computer looking for any little file that was related to Quicktime or iTunes. I didn't even think of the two most obvious places. I spent so much time and credit downloading multiple files and my computer even got a virus when trying to download a copy from an unauthorized source, I had no problem getting rid of the virus, but struggled with Quicktime and iTunes, that is why I got so frustrated! I feel like an idiot now :-P
    Thank you for your help. I still havent installed iTunes yet, so fingers crossed. I think it will work now though.

  • I accidentally deleted Dictionary and can't find my install CD?

    I accidentally deleted Dictionary (and TextEdit, but I don't really use that one). ((And yes I emptied the trashcan))
    I thought they were just shortcuts, but I guess not.
    And now I can't use the three-finger tap to look things up. Is there any way to retrieve Dictionary without reinstalling?

    I was wondering if I could reinstall Airdrop. I accidentally deleted it and I can't find it anywhere on my Mac! It disappeared when I tried to drag it on my desktop.

    Thanks Niel, but I don't really know what you mean. Sorry, but if you can, would you mind adding more detail? I'm really thankful for your help though!

  • Updated to IOS6 and now my apps will not update on the Ipad2.  I have to delete them and then re-install.  But I have several hundred apps and this is cumbersome.  Seems the new software is too buggy.  I am telling people not to update software yet.

    question
    Hi helpimstuck!
    It could be that when your original quicktime was removed it was not removed completely. I would try to install QT again then look for it in Add/Remove programmes. Try to repair if you get given the option, or if not try removing again.
    Then, download the standalone QT to your desktop. Switch off antivirus and spy software and try a fresh install of QT. See if it works then.

  • DELETED QUICKTIME AND NOW iTUNES wont work

    I recently had to delete quicktime to install other software for my cell phone. After completeing the download and deciding it unworthy of my attention. I wanted to put quicktime back on. when i go to download the software back on the the computer it says: [quote]The plugin did not initialize properly[/quote]
    Also when i click the short-cut for iTunes this pops up:
    [quote]iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.[/quote]
    I've contacted customer service and they instructed me to delete iTunes and Quicktime and re-download them. I still cannot access iTunes.
    thankya kindly,

    Here's what worked for other users; perhaps it will work for you (I've never had this problem so I can't say for sure):
    1) Uninstall QuickTime from the Add/Remove Programs control panel. If you have difficulties, try Microsoft's Installer Cleanup Utility.
    2) Clean up the Windows registry with http://www.ccleaner.com/ (freeware)
    3) Restart your system.
    4) Delete the QuickTime folder
    5) Reinstall QT from the standalone installer.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Mott,
    It sounds like you're using an illegal copy of DreamWeaver which may be why you're having the problem after the update, and why you're unlikely to get any help on this site, I'm afraid. If it's a legitimate copy, contact Adobe for help.

  • I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

    I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
    Thank You

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:
