    Good screenshot from November! I just saw this message.
    Download the QuickTinme standalone installer (without itunes, second option) and see if that error doesn't go away:

    Post back if you get any errors from that.

  • Cant open itunes. Get error message CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll. Anyone know how to fix that?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The error hints at a similar pattern to those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find CoreMedia.dll in the one of the following folders:
         C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    Delete it and then repair Apple Mobile Device Support from the Programs and Features control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild.

  • Cant open Itunes, gives me error.  help please...

    When I try and open itunes it gives me this error:
    The Unstaller has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\Recovery.ipsw.
    Then I click OK then it gives me:
    Problem with Shortcut: Fatal error during installation.
    I tried reinstalling and uninstalling iTunes and it will not allow me to do either.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    It sounds as though you need to cleanup your installer files.
    This link on trouble installing iTunes should help:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    You need General Installation Troubleshooting
    Before you start I would download a fresh copy of iTunes as well as the stand alone QUicktime and the Miscrosoft installer cleanup utility:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    When you are doing the uninstall section, don't worry if the uninstaller fails for a program, go on with the clean up of files and folder as given.
    The really important part is the bit where you use the Microsoft installer cleanup utility to cleanup your installer files.
    You probably don't need to worry about doing the "Disable conflicting software" section.

    Take the unpacked components of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file and move them to the root of drive C:. Try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe which drives the original installer, or iCloud.msi unless you have Vista). You may get a more useful error message regarding any problems during the install.
    msiexec /i C:\AppleApplicationSupport.msi /l*v C:\Log_AAS.txt
    msiexec /i C:\AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi /l*v C:\Log_AMDS.txt

    msiexec /i C:\iTunes.msi /l*v C:\Log_iTunes.txt
    msiexec /i C:\iTunes64.msi /l*v C:\Log_iTunes64.txt
    You can triple-click a line to select all of it, then press Ctrl+C to copy, switch to the command box and click the icon at the top left of the window to access the paste menu.  Which components you have depends on whether you've unpacked the 32-bit or the 64-bit installer.
    The log files might provide further clues as to what is going wrong.

    All of a studded my windows vista 64 bit computer will not open iTunes. It has a error 7 message. I have tried removing it according to supports instructions with no luck. One problem that I had is that it told you to delete the iTunes folder in the common files and it would not let me do that but everything else deleted.still no luck when I reinstalled, any help would be appreciated. I also tried updating the net framework, no luck.
    Thanks in advance,

  • TS3074 iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes in Windows 8

    I have Windows 8 (64bit). I have uninstalled iTunes and re-installed iTunes several times as it has constantly instructed me to do. It says that iTunes has been sucessfully installed; however, when I try to open iTunes, I keep getting the message "iTunes for Windows: Error 7 (windows error 127)".

    Here is what it said....But every time I reinstall iTunes it says it was successful. I'm using Windows 8 (64 bit).

    You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try a standalone install of AppleApplicationSupport. It may still fail to install but if so you may get useful error messages as to why not.

  • I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

    I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

    I too had this problems (Windows 8.1).  A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
    Today I fixed the problem by:
    Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features.  I uninstalled:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    Delete the folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall QuickTime
    Reinstall iTunes
    Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store.  You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.
