Can't start iTunes because of an error.

I've just connected my iPod mini to my computer. There is a little waiting time and then it popups with a note saying
"iTunes has encountered an error and quits. We apoligize the experience."
Then i have reported the problem.
I was then thinking about a failure in the startup of iTunes, so i repaired iTunes with the setup thinking that this would work, but no.
How am i supposed to update my iPod and listening to my music?!
Need help.. Please

good translation! i recognised that one instantly.
okay, in this context, that usually indicates a broken existing QT setup where the QT installation configuration information has been compromised.
here's what we'll try first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and use to to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.

... then use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstallation instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders on the PC.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once all the old QuickTime has been scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.0.4 install.
does it go through okay this time? if so, does your itunes launch properly again?

  • Can't start itunes because it gives me a message thta MSVCR80.dll is missing in my computer

    I can't start iTunes because it gives me a message that MSVCR80.dll is missing in my computer

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Problem installing iTunes update: "Can't start" iTunes "because MSVCR80.dll is missing" from my computer. Please help!

    Please help! I tried to update my iTunes as prompted, but it did not install correctly, and now I am getting the following message and do not know how to fix the problem: 
    "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling this program to fix the problem."
    Another window gives me this message:
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"
    BUT I AM AFRAID  TO REINSTALL iTUNES and lose my library! Would greatly appreciate learning how to resolve this porblem without losing my music!
    Cheers!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Can't open itunes because of quicktime error message

    hi
    when i try opening itunes i get a message saying it can't run because it detects an error with quicktime. it says click "help". then i get something saying, "http status-message kb/304424". it also says description requested response not available. does anyone know how i can fix this?
    thank you

    iTunes depends on a good QuickTime install, because it uses QT codecs for video and audio.
    Does QT open OK? If not, uninstall it using Control Panel > ADd/Delete Programs. Then install the standalone version. More detail:

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

  • Can't update itunes because of a missing msi file

    I can't update iTunes because of a missing msi file? Any suggestions on how to correct this?

    Yes it is looking for the iTunes64.msi file
    Many thanks.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • External hard drive networked via AirPort Extreme gives "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)" roughly every two days

    My lab has about 10 Mac computers.  We all access a central hard drive by the way of wifi provided by AirPort.  It's just a regular external hard drive (Seagate Desktop Drive) that I turned into our central storage space by plugging it into AirPort (USB).  It works pretty well.  We seem to be fine with viewing the file directories, opening files, saving, deleting etc., for a day or two.  But then after a day or two, when when trying to modify files or move new files onto the central hard drive, we get the error message: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)"
    Any suggestions as to what may be causing this problem?
    All of the computers are 2011 iMacs & MacPros.  The AirPort is 802.11n WiFi.  The hard drive is a Seagate USB 3.0 Desktop Drive.
    Thank you for your insight/suggestions.

    Thanks for your reply.  I agree about the communication issue. Let me explain my setup and what I am trying to do and perhaps you can answer my questions or make suggestions.
    I have a MAC Mini with a Sony TV for the video monitor.  The  Mac Mini is hard wired to the AE (Airport Extreme).  The AE has a 2 TB HD hooked up to the USB Port.  I have a 17" Mac Book Pro on the WIFI Network.
    I am trying to use the MAc Mini as a "Media Server" of sorts.  Once I get iTunes running the way I plan I am goign to hook up my Apple TV (2nd Generation) to my television downstairs.
    What I am trying to accomplish is have iTunes on all my computers look to the External HD on the AE for the files.  This is why I am having my (-50 errors).
    So far I have noticed that if I go and try to download from iTunes purchased videos that are not ont he computer (to the external HD) it will also occassionaly give me teh -50 error.
    Is there a way to change where the files go when I download them?  Say I want to download videos to the computer but not to the external HD?  However I would want to still be able to move them to the External HD.

  • Empty trash The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).

    I can't empty my trash.  The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
    I have started up in a guest account and that show empty trash bucket.
    I have use 'option' or all three, control, option, command.  and nothing works.
    This has been a problem for about 3 weeks now.
    I have an external WD hardrive for back up, these are the files that I try to erase - and I have unlocked each one, still no luck....
    Can some one give me a hint what to do?

    Don;
    Plus all of you that have tried to help me with my 'empty trash' problem.  I have it solved!
    I am running a Western Digital external hard drive.  I phoned them just now and they asked me to unplug the WD drive, and I reset the back up occasions, it was backing up every hour, which was way too often. The trash emptied when I unplugged and now I have rebooted and the trash is still empty
    Thanks to all who gave me suggestions as to what I needed to do to empty my trash can!  It had more than 1600 items living there.  What a relief.
