Can't update Quicktime which won't let me update iTunes...HELP PLEASE!

I have been trying to update to the latest version of iTunes but I can't even open iTunes because my Quicktime isn't updated. So I have tried updating Quicktime and I always get to the very end until it says "cannot save installed files saved in '/' " What does this mean?????
How can I successfully save my installations of Quicktime? I have never had a problem with updating either of those until now...
HELP ME PLEASE!
thank you...

How much HD space do you have left?
Not sure if this matters but, make sure your HD is Journaled.

  • Lost everything, won't let me sync! help please!

    I built a new comp a couple months ago, and have been able to sync successfully until about a week ago, when it started giving me the file not found error message. I've tried resetting comp, uninstalling a reinstalling itunes, restoring to original settings. When I try to sync now, it tells me it failed because backup session failed. then another window pops up saying that file could not be found.i do not use iphoto or mobileme. All of my downloaded apps still show up on the app tab when iphone is plugged in.
    Thanks!

    Are you getting 0xe8000065, unknown error -6999, or unknown error -48? It sounds like you have the P55 Intel chipset running Windows 7. If so there is a known issue with USB which stops communication with iPhone.
    If so the solution is to update your BIOS.

  • IPod internal manager error--can't update--professional help please!?

    I want to update my iPod mini. I connect it to the computer. It says I don't have the latest version of the iPod updater (though my computer says I do, and I know I downloaded it a few weeks ago). It says click here to update. I click, and then a message pops up that says "iPod internal manager error" and I can do nothing. Nothing! No update for my iPod.
    This "iPod internal manager error" problem is addressed here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301907 but the suggestions there have not helped me. I have checked repeatedly and know that I have both the current version of iTunes and the current version of iPod updater. I remain perplexed.
    Can somebody solve this once and for all? I want to update my iPod!

    Okay, so my iPod has done this twice now, so it must be a pretty common problem. Once plugged into my computer, it goes into a black and white Do Not Disconnect screen and iTunes fails to recognize it while my computer still does. Reading these discussions, I found a POSSIBLE quick fix for others with this prob that has to do with reformating your iPod. It erases everthing on it, but at least it starts to work again. Here goes:
    1. Open your Ctrl Panel thru the start menu.
    2. Switch to "classic view" if it's an option on the left.
    3. Double click the icon "Administration tools"
    4. Double click "Computer mangagement"
    5. Click "Storage" followed by "Disk management"
    6. Find your iPod's listing
    7. Right click it and choose "Format"
    8. Select "FAT 32" instead of "FAT" and start the format.
    So pretty much this is only a solution if when you get to step 8. you find out that your iPod is on "FAT" format. Hope this helps anybody with this same prob!!

  • I can log into my apple id, but it won't let me on Itunes

    I'm studying abroad in two days and I wanted to update my ipod, mostly with a lot of apps since my flight is 9 hours. I tried logging into Itunes using my normal email and what I thought my password was. I wasn't sure on the password so I had my password reset and tried to log in on my itunes. Didn't work so I changed my email twice and my password about 5 times and it still won't let me into Itunes, but when I have to log onto here or any where else on apple.com my apple ID and password works perfectly....What can I do to fix this? I need to get this solved fast please!

    Hello, TonyanAsia. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. 
    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.

  • New iOS7 update won't let me restrict iTunes radio/images for my kids. Help?

    The new iOS7 update won't let me restrict iTunes radio/images for my kids. I've never had this problem with Apple before. I've always had the ability to restrict the iTunes store, and anything else I needed to restrict. I'm not a religous nut, I just don't want my kids looking at some of that stuff. I'm really disappointed with this feature. If anybody has any help I would appreciate it! Switching music to clean only blocks music, not album covers and artist pictures. I've always loved the parent friendly features of Apple. I hope they fix this soon! My family loves Apple, and I don't want to have to switch!

    Hi. Yes I've looked all through restrictions and there is nothing that will block it. This is weird. Apple usually always thinks of this stuff. Usually they provide ways to both choose a parental level or block it from being used all together. I can't do either. On some of my devices I want to restrict what I'm seeing/hearing from iTunes radio but on some I want to block it all together. I've been all through restrictions and there is no option for either.

    I want to delete a file off a thumb drive but get error 1407 which won't let me delete or trash the file.  What do I do?

    Hmmm, what Format is the Thumb drive?

    Is there perhaps a colon or Backslash, or slash in the filename?

  • Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

    Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

    Requirements for iPhone 5:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later
    The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

    The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way.  Hmmm....
    I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to.

  • How do I get my music from Media center to my iphone. Itunes won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

  • I can't update iTunes to 12.0.1

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Can't update iTunes

    Every time I try to install iTunes 10.5 on my macbook pro, it gets almost to the end (blue progress bar moving along then stays at about 90% for a couple of minutes), then my entire computer crashes/shuts down. This has happened three times in a row. What can I do to successfully update iTunes so I can update my iPhone? Thanks!

    1) Nope. I rarely even use QuickTime, unless it's to view a video I took with my digital. So I never really even updated unless the little notice opened up prompting me to do so.
    2) Actually, when I try to uninstall, it's not in the add/remove window, but the uninstall link is in the programs menu. But when I do that, the InstallShield comes up, loads for a few seconds, and then nothing.
    Also, when I try to open QuickTime by itself, I get this message:
    "Your copy of QuickTime 7.0.2a63, QuickTime Player 7.0.2a63 has expired. Please visit www.apple.com/quicktime/download to download and install a new version."
    I can't update iTunes without the latest QuickTime, and I can't download the latest QuickTime without installing iTunes, but it keeps giving me errors. I had circular dilemmas like this. =/
