Can't Unistall iTunes or Quicktime! Please HELP!

We have used iTunes for a couple of years now and haven't had any problems until I bought my daughter an iPod Nano. The iPod requires iTunes 7 which I downloaded and tried to install but an error keeps coming up that I don't have sufficient privileges to "iPod Services" so I thought I would try to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstall them, but when I go into the Add/Remove feature from the Control Panel and click on remove, it does nothing! And Quicktime isn't even listed in the Add/Remove section so I went to Quicktime in the "all programs" menu and tried to uninstall Quicktime from there and it tells me that Quicktime isn't installed, which is weird because it's listed in the "all programs" menu. Can anyone help me. My daughter is totally bummed because she hasn't been able to do anything with the ONLY present that she wanted for Christmas. I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2. Any help would truly be appreciated. THANK YOU!!

I have a similar problem, no ones seems to understand how iTunes 7 works when you had previous versions installed. Surprised you don't get them uninstalled, my XP control panel function did that part OK. I guess you can always manually delete the files but this may leave registry issues behind.

    This happened to me too. The secret was: it's already opened. But the application is not responding. I right-mouse clicked the icon on my dock and Force Quit it. Reopened it and done.

    every time i open itunes or quicktime my windows laptop centrino´s core jumps to 100%, even when the programs are idle!!
    -i tried reinstalling them, manually removing any leftover program files and folders.
    -Right-clicking on the QuickTime folder and clicking Delete from the shortcut menu.
    -Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    -Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    nothing works...

  • Can't get sound in QuickTime - please help

    Hi
    I purchased the Quicktime pro and downloaded codecs from perian first - I tried playing an .avi file movie and got no sound. Then I downloaded codecs from DivX player site - and still no sound - video is fine.
    I have sound using other formats and also when watching trailers on the internet
    Thank You

    You might try Perian plugin for QuickTime. I actually haven't come across anything since I've installed it to really try it out but it seems to be getting very good reviews everywhere I've seen it mentioned.
    Obviously you're not going to be able to get Quicktime to play everything just like you can't get VLC or Windows Media Player or Real..... but you just kind of have to keep finding the proper plugins for all the various media out there.

  • Can't Access iTunes Music Store, Please Help

    When I open my itunes and click on the music store, I can not access it. It says, "Could not complete the music store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
    My internet connection is fine, so I don't know what is going on. My firewall is set to accept itunes requests. This has been going on for a few days now, I'm clueless on what's going on. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I'd start off by going to the "Advanced" menu and selecting "Run Diagnostics...", then choosing to test for network settings to the iTunes Store. It should tell you if a firewall really is blocking you from accessing the store or if something is going on, I would think.

  • HT4623 My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,

    A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
    That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

  • My iPhone 3gs after update thane sim are damage and iTunes show locked, please help me, how can solve this problem? i am purchase from Sweden.

    My iphone purchages from sweden, when my ipone update latest vertion then sim cards damage and iphone monitor show itunes are loced. please help, how to solved the problem.

    Swedish carriers sell their phones carrier locked and do not offer official unlocking.  So unless you want to use it in Sweden with the original carrier you may as well sell it to someone who can use it there.
    Edit - I tell a lie, one of the carriers 3 do offer unlocking but not the others.

    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Cheers,
