CAN I INSTALL ITUNES WITHOUT NEW QUICKTIME?

I would like to intstall the latest ITunes with touching my version of Quicktime (7.2) as my editing program (Avid Media Composer) is only supported with version 7.2 Quicktime. I have Quicktime Pro and cannot uninstall and re-install as I believe my Pro version then becomes non Pro which my editing program requires.
Why does Apple do this?

I don't wont to bicker about this but i don't think that is the case. I installed itunes and it didn't install quick time.I went to the web sight and had to install Quick time separately.

Can't install iTunes due to Quicktime failing to install

I'm on Vista (sad face) and over the past couple months iTunes has worked on and off...working and then I get an error saying "iTunes has stopped working" and then I have to mess with everything uninstalling/installing to get it working again.
However last week, when it happened I uninstalled iTunes and then attempted to uninstall Quicktime but it would not remove Quicktime off the list even after restarts. Then I ran the newest iTunes + Quicktime installer and it just goes until it gives me and error saying "The installer encountered errors before the requested operation for Quicktime could be compleated" and takes me to the complete box saying try again later. So the problem is with Quicktime because it won't uninstall/install and thus I can not install iTunes.
I have tried using the stand-alone Quicktime installer and have gotten the same error. I have also tried Apple Software Updater and no dice. I am getting very frustrated nothing seems to work and I need to update my iPod! Please help!
Thanks!

+I finally got QuickTime uninstalled (it wouldn't give me errors uninstalling, it just wouldn't uninstall) via Windows CleanUp Utility.+
After you used CleanUp, did you manually remove any leftover QuickTime program files?
If not, let's run through a CleanUp routine again.
Run CleanUp and remove the QuickTime entry.
1. On the Start menu, click Computer.
2. In Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
Go into "Uninstall a program" in your Control Panel (assuming here that you don't have Classic View selected) and select itunes. click "Repair" up at the top of the control panel screen.
If the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. Does it launch properly now?

Can't install itunes because of quicktime

My itouch won't register with itunes. A pop up for 10.1 came up, so I figured that was the problem. I started the download, but then I got two errors pertaining to quicktime. A box searching for the quicktime.msi destination, and "older version cannot be removed." I've tried downloading manually, it doesn't work. I've tried deleting both programs, STILL doesn't work. I've done a system restore - nothing works. I have no idea how to get itunes working again. I can't charge my itouch because it won't register. Any ideas?

A box searching for the quicktime.msi destination, and "older version cannot be removed."
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try reinstalling iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time? If so, are you able to launch iTunes without the error message?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Can't install iTunes on new Dell laptop

I bought a Dell laptop running Windows 7. I can download but not install iTunes. I have tried turning off the pop-up blocker and suspending Norton Antivirus' firewall. Any suggestions? I can't access my full iTunes account that shows previous purchases. And when I plug in my iPod Touch and my new iPad, the computer recognizes them but nothing happens with the iTunes website.

many thanks.
Are you using Internet Explorer for the download?
If so, fingers crossed the following documents might be of some assistance:
How to download iTunes when Internet Explorer information bar appears
iTunes: Downloading iTunes for Windows using Internet Explorer
If no joy there, try switching off any pop-up blockers or web accelerators you may have running. (They can also interfere with downloads in this sort of way.)

Can't install iTunes on new notebook with windows 8.1

First, sorry for my bad english, i hope you can understand what i am trying to say.
I got a new notebook and wanted to install iTunes. First it worked but then i needed to do a system restore because of a virus.
So iTunes was no longer on my notebook and i tried to reinstall it, but it does not work. I always get "try to install new, ERROR 7 (Windows error 5).
I searched through many communities and tried things like activating the Microsoft Frame Network or manual deinstalltion, restarting the computer, ...
Please help me

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Can't install Itunes due to Quicktime problems

I have tried to install Itunes a few times, but every time I do I receive this error message, 'A newer version of Quicktime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of Quicktime is installed".
I have uninstalled Quicktime and searched through my computer for other quicktime files and removed them but still keep getting this message. Is there something that I'm not doing?

You could try an installer cleanup with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Then you should find the program in All Programs (or the equivalent in Vista).
Remove any references to QUicktime. Sometime you find a blank entry or one with just a version number.
Are you installing the latest versions of iTunes and Quicktime?

Can I install itunes without formatting ipod?

Alo.
Ok...
so my job keeps me on the road constantly, ie: not at the 'home' computer, where I first added some songs to my 60g ipod.
What my question is, is there any way that I can put the CD in, instal itunes, and continue past the step telling me to format without actually formatting.
I've been looking for an answer for about 2 hours now, and can't see any way to do this, short of going to the home computer, and changing the settings to 'manual' instead of 'automatic'.
I would really like to put more songs onto my ipod, but don't want to lose what I have on there, and don't want to travel far to the 'home' computer in order to change the settings.
Is there a solution? Pleeeaase help me!

Hi Noel-
Although I may not understand exactly what you want to do, it sounds like you want to use your iPod on both computers without losing the music already on your iPod. You need to set the iPod to manual updating, but you can do this on any computer that has iTunes installed.
First, you can download iTunes by itself from this link and install it.
Then, to keep your iPod from automatically syncing with iTunes when you connect it to your computer, hold down the CTRL-SHIFT keys until iTunes fully launches. You'll then be able to go into iPod Options and change the syncing to manual.

New Version of Quicktime installed. Can't install iTunes 9.01

I am trying to install the new version of iTunes but its telling me I already have the newest version of quicktime and can not install itunes. Can I just install itunes without quicktime?

Quit ranting. I am running QT 7.6.4 and iTunes 9.1.1 on my Tiger iMac. It will be ten years old this summer. I have all of you beat I use it to sync a brand new iPod Touch. It works fine, even though it was built prior to even the beta version of OS X.

Virtually useless? Really? Perhaps you're exaggerating a wee bit ?
I've spent almost nothing keeping mine up to date. Until someone can provide a tangible reason to update to Snow Leopard, I have no plans to replace this ten year old computer.
Here are Apple's download sites for QuickTime and iTunes, respectively.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
They'll install and run fine on your three year old dinosaur of an iMac (geez!).
I'm reasonably sure Software Update alerted me to the QuickTime update. It was at least several months ago. Perhaps sometime subsequent to that I became unceremoniously dumped by Apple Support. After only ten years. Imagine!
Virtually useless? Wow. Kids today, I swear...

.dmg.part is not a complete file.. It usually indicates that the entire file has not been downloaded yet. Are you sure you downloaded the entire file? (i recommend updating itunes through  > Software Update

I can not open itunes without quicktime 7.5.5 why ?

i can not open itunes without quicktime 7.5.5 why ?

You don't provide us with much background infomation such as operating system version you are using, but usually when I see this kind of question it gets answered by:
QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. I recently helped where the person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.
Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979 - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

Can't install iTunes or QuickTime on Vista. Vista is killing me. HALP!

I read through all the [million] other posts with Vista problems but mine is a bit different.
Its a brand new Dell computer with 32bit Vista Home Premium which I have learned is a bad idea but now I'm stuck with it and without my music. I hear some people don't have problems with ITunes and Vista at all so I still have hope.
When I try to install iTunes 8 plus QuickTime this is the error:
"the installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires QuickTime."
When I try to install QuickTime on its own this is the error:
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2755."
Thanks for any info. Peace in the new year to all!

I am having this same problem. Has anyone found a solution?
