Accidentally took off quick time player and Itunes wont open now

so I have a pentium 3 windows 2000 IBM laptop
terrible i know
i was trying to get more memory onto my computer by deleting programs i didnt need and a supposed "computer wiz" told me that i didnt need quick time player to run Itunes.
so i took it off and now Itunes wont even open. a message pops up saying that i need to reinstall Itunes
because i have such an old computer (and buying a new one isnt an option right now) the newest version of quick time player isnt compatible with my computer
i tried downloading an older version of quicktime and that hasnt worked either
so my fear is that if i unistall and then reinstall Itunes that
a) i will lose all my music
and
b) there wont be a version of Itunes i can download since i have such an old computer
any ideas or suggests?

Uninstalling the iTunes program should not affect your music folder however to be sure nothing goes wrong you should backup you music before starting. You might also want to have a look at this page, it refers to XP but you should be able to adapt it to 2000: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components
You can get the highest version of iTunes that will work with Windows 2000 at this link: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

    Took this in to a repair shop and they ended up having to replace the logic board. Thankfully it was still under Apple Care.

    I believe there is a technique which uses some similar suggestion to unwittingly tempt the user into installing malware, in order to be able to watch some (usually sexually explicit) video, so be aware of this ruse.
    The only things I would download would be Perian that extends Quicktime, available here,
    http://www.perian.org/
    and if that did not do it, then try VLC to use instead of Quicktime.

  • Quick Time Player and Apple TV

    I have a AVI file from my Olympus camera that plays on my Quick Time Player on my iMac. How does one get the file to Apple TV to play?

    there are many third party apps that will do it.
    also, if you are able to get the video into itunes as it currently is, then you can right click on it and choose "create appletv version".

  • Macbook pro runs slow and itunes wont open

    My macbook pro froze and went to a black screen while I was using quicktime so I forced shut down and rebooted and now it runs really slow and itunes and quicktime wont open.  I am completely updated

    Your MBP should be able to accept 6 GB RAM.  I suggect that you install the maximum.  Yosemite should run more efficiently as a result.
    I note that you have Novatel and Sierra wireless installed.  If you do not need one, delete it.
    Ciao.

  • Quick Time error and unable to open ITunes

    I updated my ITunes and now cannot open it. Message is Quick Time version 7.02 is installed. Itunes requires vs 7.0.3 or later. Reinstall Itunes. I did several times and still get this message.
    thanks.

    Hey Peggy,
    This is a post that I offered yesterday. The steps that I listed in the following post worked for me as I was able to access iTunes6 with QuickTime7. More importantly, my entire library was intact. Good luck! Here goes ...
    Hey troubled Podheads,
    I was one of the legion with problems in downloading iTunes6 and QT7 for Windows until I tried something (I must say that I am not a pc wizard and I don't know the technical reasons for why the following worked, it just did! So if there are any pc geeks out there, be sure to chime in). Anyway, this is what I did. First uninstall QuickTime if you do have it on your pc. If not, just go to the next step:
    Go to START, then RUN. Type in regedit and then click OK. Your REGISTRY EDITOR should open. You should see HKEYLOCALMACHINE in the scroll down menu on the left, with a small box to its left. Make sure that the inside of the box has a negative sign - this will open up the next set of subfolders. Next, make sure that the subfolder, SOFTWARE, has a negative sign in the small box to its left. Next, make sure that there is a negative sign in the box next to the subfolder entitled, Apple Computer, Inc. You'll see at least three subfolders: iPod, iTunes and QuickTime. Click once on the QuickTime folder until it is highlighted and then delete it. You will be asked if you want to delete QuickTime and its subfolders. Click ok and then close out the Registry Editor.
    Next, download the stand alone QuickTime 7 at this link (you may have to cut and paste this link to open this website):
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    When you download the stand alone QT7, you may get a couple of error messages (I did), but if you repeatedly click ok (like I did), the QT7 player should load with no problems.
    Again, I am no pc geek, but this worked for me and I have gained access to iTunes6 (with video capacity) and my complete library is intact. Nothing like trial and error!! Good luck -- I hope this works for all of you frustrated Podheads out there!

  • Installed latest update and restarted computer and iTunes wont open!

    I have just installed the latest update to iTunes and restarted the computer when told to and went to open iTunes to sync my latest songs and it says:
    "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missed.
    Please reinstall iTunes."
    This would result in me loosing all my music so I hope you have a solution.

    A simple thing to try is a repair install. You can do this from programs on Control panel, or you can download the iTunes installer and save in on your PC. When you run it it will give the option to repair if it is the same version as the one you have installed.

    Otherwise, in the past this has been associated with Spyware Terminator blocking things, but that was a while ago.
    The other thing to check for is malware. You can download a free version of malwarebytes to do the scan:

    Try opening iTunes in a different Windows user account first, to see if it is a user profile problem or system-wide.

  • ITunes wont open now, even when redownloaded

    My iTunes worked forever then today it wont open.  I've even deleted, tried to download again, tried to repair etc.  When I click on the shortcut icon, nothing happens.

    Does the ipod show up if you open iTunes manually? If it does, click on the picture of the ipod in your iTunes menu, and you should get the iPod summary screen. Check the box that says "Open iTunes when this iPos is connected". Eject the iPod, and next time you connect it, iTunes should pop up automatically.
    This works for iTunes 7. On earlier versions, you can find the option in the preferences.

  • Downloaded 11.1.3 and itunes wont open

    Just downloaded itunes 11.1.3 and now it won't open.  What to do?

    hey katycakes,
    yeah, i totally hear ya; I've been struggling with iTunes for the past few days, don't even wanna image what over a month would be like. (First World Problems, i guess.)
    anyway, I've read through so much notes and posts the past few days trying to get it back working (and in fact, finally succeeded today), maybe I can help you out here, even though you seem to be suffering a different symptom. (To recap, my iTunes didn’t open at all; no spinning wheel, no error dialog, no nothing.)
    so first things first, can you confirm that you downloaded iTunes 11.1.3 from here:
    > http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    and are running Mavericks 10.9.1?
    next up, have you tried
    - opening iTunes in 'safe boot'
    as well as
    - opening iTunes from a guest account?
    if so, did you experience the same issue in either circumstance?
    for instructions on how to boot into safe mode, see:
    > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    and for instructions on enabling/disabling a guest account, refer to:
    > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11321
    if you need further instructions on the procedures above, let me know.
    this should help pinning down the cause of the whole mess, as I reckon it might be anything from a faulty kext, to a broken preference file, to a diseased plugin.
