  • Cannot uninstall Quicktime 7.02!!!

    Hi,
    I cannot uninstall QuickTime 7.02 from my computer. As a result, I cannot access my itunes, because version 6.0 requires QT 7.03!!
    Please help!!
    Without music!!

    QuickTime is a "System" component and it installs hundreds of parts all over the OS.
    Safest method to revert to an earlier version is to "Archive and Install" from your original Leopard DVD and then use Software Update to stop just short of 7.6.4.

  • I cannot uninstall QuickTime because of a "Fatal error during installation."

    I want to un-install itunes.  Following the iTunes support guideline, I first removed iTunes.  I then clicked on REMOVE Quicktime in the Control Panel.
    I received the message "Please wait while windows configures Quicktime".
    I then received the error message "Fatal error during installation" - OK.
    How can I now remove Quicktime and follow on through the Support route of the remaining iTunes elements?

    DEPs for iTunes and a fatal error when trying to uninstall QuickTime.
    I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms, including the uninstall errors.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • New ipod nano and error in updating itunes and quicktime (error 1905)

    this is really annoying me, i have itunes 6.0 or 6.1 or something, and i recently purchased an ipod nano.it said the new nano was only compatable with itunes 7.1, so i went to apple.com and downloaded it. it took two hours to download the set-up for itunes 7.1. i ran the set-up, and then in the middle of it this error came up:
    Error 1905.Module C:/ProgramFiles/Quicktime/GTUIPanelControl.dll failed to unregister. HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your support panel.
    i pressed okay twice, and it went through the rest of the process and it says this:
    Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE/Software/Classes/QuickTime/CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personel.
    all of this is very frustrating, but after i click "ok", it reads this:
    The installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully.iTunes requires QuickTime.
    Please help!i would like to utilize this ipod sooner than later, obviously.
    thank you

    I used that download, which seems to have worked for some people, but not others. It has something to do with downloading a VBScript. Anyway, I did this, but when I tried to complete its download, it said "Error registering the OCX C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll"
    I then tried to run that file through Run, typing in "regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\system32\vbscript.dll"
    I was told it would "reregister" it. Unfortunately, I was met with other error message. ""DllRegisterServer in c:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll failed. Return code was 0x80004005"
    I was told that it had something to do with not having adminstrative privilegdes. I've dealt with these "adminstrative priviledges" before when Norton refused to work, and its no happy mess. But if someone can shed any light on the situation, that would be great.

  • Cannot Uninstall Quicktime

    I need help uninstalling Quicktime which will not uninstall using the standard Windows uninstall tools.
    I have Quicktime installed under Windows 7. It installed OK, but when I try to run it the process starts then finishes with neither a window opening nor an error message. When I try to uninstall it via the control panels (as a prelude to a re-install) the uninstall operation gets near the end, then the installation is rolled-back leaving Quicktime installed.
    How to I get this apparently cemented copy of Quicktime completely off my laptop?

    Before I uninstalled it I got error messages saying Quicktime was not up-to-date, which started me down this path.
    Okay ... They aren't classical versions of the symptoms (still, those change on a regular basis), but you're getting enough things going on here to make me suspect that some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry down in your system files. (That can cause QuickTime launch and install trouble, and also those "out-of-date" messages when launching iTunes.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    *If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
    *If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • I cannot uninstall Quicktime

    Ok, so my iTunes was not working properly, so I decided to uninstall everything. I uninstalled iTunes just fine, but am having a really hard time uninstalling Quicktime. Everytime I try to uninstall the program, it will tell me that an error occured and the task cannot be completed. I tried going to the control panel, and this didn't work, and I tried just reinstalling and this doesn't work either. My quicktime isn't working and I can't get it off my computer. Any suggestions would be so much appreciated...I'm going on vactaion in three weeks and I'd love to have my iTunes up and running so I can update my iPod for my trip.
    Thanks
    JD

    Ok, so thank you for your suggestion! I tried using the clean up Utility and it did allow me to uninstall the program, which is great! Now, on to the next issue. I tried reinstalling both quicktime and iTunes. It finally allowed me to reinstall Quicktime without any problems, but as soon as it was installed I went to run it and a Window's box came up that told me that the program encountered an error and needs to close. The same thing happens obviously when I try to open iTunes. So, since the error was immediate after installing the program, I'm guessing there is a glitch in the actual program. SO......I am wondering if maybe an older version of Quicktime may be the solution. Any suggestions? I've had older versions of Quicktime on this computer before and they ran just fine, so I wonder if installing an older version (where do I find one?) would solve the problem
    Ok, thanks in advance

  • Uninstalling Quicktime Errors.

    When I try to uninstall quicktime it starts but then before it can finsh it says "fatal error during installation". I don't know if there's something wrong with the file or if there's a virus in it or what. But I need to get rid of Quicktime to reinstall iTunes. Help please. =ll
    W730-K8X   Windows XP  

    When I try to uninstall quicktime it starts but
    then before it can finsh it says "fatal error during
    installation".
    when folks get the "fatal error" under those
    circumstances, it's usually best to scrape out both
    the existing itunes and quicktime and then do a
    careful staged reinstall of QuickTime and then
    itunes.
    for the procedure, see the following post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&me

    I understand the staged re installation part. But How do you"scrape" out both itunes and quicktime. I deleted itunes just fine, but I get the "Fatal error during install" when I am uninstalling quicktime and it wont delete the darn program.

  • Can't uninstall Quicktime (Error 2330)

    I would be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me uninstall Quicktime, so that I can install iTunes. I've googled the error, but not yet found a solution that works. Every time I try to uninstall it, I get error 2330. I've tried add/remove programs, CCleaner, etc.
    Please, please help me if you can!

    I had same problem today. I still haven't been able to uninstall quicktime but was able to get around it by renaming quicktime. After renaming quicktime I downloaded the new version of itunes (8) without a problem and my new ipod nano now works fine.

  • QuickTime Error: 0 message from Compressor

    I recently exported several sequences from FCPro 5.5 to Compressor for conversion to MPEG-2. For some reason, two of the sequences (one is the longest, but only by several seconds; the other is nowhere near the longest) fail in Compressor with the message "QuickTime Error: 0".
    I'm pretty sure I'll be able to export those sequences to QuickTime movies then bring those movies into Compressor afterwards...but I'd really like Compressor to work the way it's supposed to. Anyone know what might be going wrong here?
    Thanks.

    Okay, I solved the problem. Turned out I had installed Perian (http://perian.org/) a few days back so I could generate FLV movies. (Turned out I didn't need it anyway.) Anyways, it seems to interfere with playback of certain QuickTime movies. I removed Perian, and the problem went away.

  • Itunes will not open/ cannot uninstall quicktime

    Since restoring my PC following installation of replacement harddrive, I cannot get into itunes. It says itunes has encountered problem and needs to close. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it will not let me uninstall Quicktunes. I get a DLL function call crashed error. Can anyone help? Thanks/

    Emma,
    I was able to get my iTunes working again - I can't remember the exact order of my steps as I was at my wits end, but I did have luck when I followed the Windows Troubleshooting tips for "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    I believe that I did the following steps:
    -I installed the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility then opened it via Start/All Programs/Windows Install Cleanup. (see more detailed instructions in the article referenced above.)
    - I selected iTunes from the list and clicked Remove
    - I also selected QuickTime from the list and clicked Remove.
    - I restarted my PC after exiting Windows Installer Cleanup
    - I checked for QuickTime and iTunes in my Control Panel/Add Remove Programs and removed them if they existed
    - I may have restarted my PC again at this point
    - I then downloaded standalone versions of QuickTime (I did this before iTunes) and iTunes. I found the links to the standalone versions of these applications on the same document with the Clean up iTunes Installer files instructions.
    - I did another re-start of my PC
    After doing this, my iTunes miraculously worked again and all of my song files were intact from the restore that I did after clearing my hard drive.
    I urge you to try this at your own risk... it worked for me, but I'm not an expert. Maybe someone else will see this and can confirm that this is a good fix for you too. I'm sure if you're as frustrated as I was, you are willing to try almost anything!
    Good luck!

  • Cannot uninstall quicktime,or repair it

    +so if i install a win avi converter,storm codec etc i will be able to remove quicktime then rienstall it!!!+
    Other way around. Folks report not being able to uninstall or reinstall QuickTime (and typically get your error message) after having installed one of those packages. So the first thing we try is uninstalling those other pacakages (if they are present) to see if we can get QuickTime to uninstall or reinstall.

  • Cannot uninstall after error missing help file.

    After an error that the help file is missing, I tried to uninstall the program so I could reinstall it.  It will not uninstall and I cannot reinstall it using the original CD.

    I got it fixed finally by doing your manual uninstall.  Had to remove several components in the registry before it would finally reinstall.  Thanks for getting back to me.

  • Cannot restore get error 14 message

    Hi, can anybody help I have an iPod 4G locked in recovery mode, I have tried to restore but get error message 14 , I have up to date i tunes ?

    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
