Can't open updated version of iTunes (7.6)

When i opened my iTunes, it told me i needed to upgrade to the newer version of iTunes to play my an album that i pre-ordered. So i did, but when i tried to open it, an error message popped up...something about an error with Quicktime.
I tried re-installing iTunes all over again, but the same message came up. So i deleted Quicktime from my computer, but left iTunes, & then installed Quicktime.
My Quicktime works, i can play videos using Quicktime, but i can't open iTunes.
Re-installing Quicktime doesn't work & re-installing iTunes doesn't work. What else can i do???? This happened the last time i updated too, so i am pretty ****** off. Any suggestions??????

I was having a similar problem and searched this forum for 2 days trying to find the solution...and couldn't!
I decided to solve try a few things myself.
I turned the SpyWare off first then . . .
1 . I opened the Register Editor, by typing in "Regedit" in the run application for XP or start search for Vista.
2 . I searched all of the files, around six of them, and deleted ALL quicktime and itunes folders.
3 . I then went into the Program Files on the hard drive C:\ and deleted the files iPod, iTunes and QuickTime.
4 . After that I went back to C:\ and went into Windows and deleted a file named QuickTime VR and all other QuickTime and iTunes files.
5 . Restarted the computer
6 . Reinstalled ONLY QuickTime 7.4 from the website
7 . Reinstalled iTunes 7.6 from the website and it worked!
Hope this works, it was a nightmare to figure out and a hassle to do but it does work....for me at least!
Good Luck!

Can't open any version of iTunes or use quicktime

yesterday i downloaded and installed iTunes 7 (before i knew that there was problems with it). when i opened it massive chunks of my library were missing so i decided to revert back to an earlier version of itunes. removed iTunes 7 and installed iTunes 6.0.5 (think that's the correct number) but it wouldn't open. it comes up with a message saying that iTunes had encountered an unexpected error and needs to close. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of iTunes and rolling back to various system restore points on my computer but i constantly get the same message. I can't use quicktime either - it just comes up with the same message.
HELP!!!

I can't use quicktime either - it just comes up
with the same message.
just doublechecking your precise error message. is it
an "itunes has encountered a problem" message? or is
it something a bit different? if it's different, what
is the precise text? (include error message numbers
if you're getting any.)
i don't know if this will mean anything to you...
Faulting application pictureviewer.exe, version 7.1.3.100, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x63656666.
for some reason the error message i was getting on screen when i tried to open QT isn't coming up now but QT isn't opening either. i got that text from going to control panel>admin tools>event viewer. the text i was getting previously when i tried to open QT was "quicktime has encountered an unexpected error and needs to close" (or something v similar).

Can't open latest version of iTunes in Windows 8

I have installed the latest version of iTunes for Windows 8. I cannot open iTunes. I attempted opening in Safe Mode, received the Safe Mode pop-up, selected "Continue," and iTunes was not opened. What can I do to access iTunes?

Hey clappinghappy,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. If you issue persists after attempting to open iTunes in safe mode, the next step would be to test in a new user account:

After isolating the issue further, see the applicable section (User-specific troubleshooting or System-wide troubleshooting)

Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18. iTunes is still free.

HT3204 Why can't I update my ipod version 2.2 to version 4.2? I have an updated version of Mac Os snow leapord, an updated version of iTunes but I am still getting an error message. I have a cart of 30 ipods and none of them will update.

I am trying to upgrade an ipod cart of version 2.2 ipods to 4.2 so that I can download apps that
require this version. When I try to update any of the ipods I keep getting an error message that
culminates with an error -1. I cannot believe that they all have hardware errors. Any ideas of what to
try next? I have an updated copy of Snow Leopard with all current updates and an updated version
of iTunes with all current updates.

what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke. Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that. Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Where can I download former versions of iTunes

HI Hello,
Reinstalling an older version of iTunes on our Mac is not a good idea. Perhaps some easy maintenance suggestions will help.
Try running Disk Utility and Repairing Disk Permissions first. Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot. Try to launch iTunes... if it still won't open..
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag this file from the Preferences folder: com.apple.itunes.plist to your Desktop. Try to launch iTunes. If iTunes launches successfully, then that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. You will have to reset your iTunes preferences but if deleting this file fixes the problem, then it's worth effort.
If you still have problems with iTunes, then perhaps an Archive and Install is in order. Back up all your important data/images/video/documents. When you are finished with the installation, at some point you will be prompted for an iTunes update. If you had good luck with 8.0.1, just don't go any farther with the updates for now.
If you need help with an Archive and Install, please post back.

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:

Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?

I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

TS1702 Can't open update tab in app store

I can't open "update" tab in the app store... When i click it, it show a blank page

Apparently, there is a problem with Apple’s servers.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.
You can also download the updates in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.

"Re: OpenAL Update, Version 2.0.7.0/ ?
P.S. For those running Windows x64 of any version, don't forget that if you're going to make this change, use the one found in the SysWOW64 folder.
That may explain why replacing the .dll for Mirror's Edge from the System32 folder made the game crash.
Interestingly it did not have the same effect on Mass Effect...
Out of curiosity why would you recommend this?
I understand the difference between 32 and 64bit OS's but can't see a working example of the difference this would make.
Do you mean use the correct file for games that support 64bit operating modes?
EDIT :? Well i guess my guess was correct. Using the openal32.dll file found in sysWOW64 doesn't cause Mirror's Edge to crash.
Mass Effect must be 32bit and Mirror's Edge 64 bit.
Good call Stormy.
