Cant open Itunes, please help

can someone please help me. i have an ipod photo. a friend of mine has an ipod video, and he wanted me to put some music on his ipod. i wasnt able to do so unless i updated my itunes software. when i did this, and restarted my cpu i was unable to open itunes. it will say that quicktime was not installed. i tried installing this, and also tried a system restore but nothing is working. i also tried to uninstall everything and reinstall with my disc that came with my ipod, but it wont work either. does anyone have any suggestions for me?

okay, let's first try another QT 7.1 standalone install, this time taking a few additional explicit precautions.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes 6
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Cant resize itunes, please help

    Please help, this has been driving me nuts for days.
    I recently used a full screen application (RPG Maker 2003) which is a 320x240 application, when I came out of it I tried to use coverflow but the coverflow itself is too high up, i cant drag it, I have tried resizing the whole window, uninstalling and changing my screen resolution (I have the highest screen resolution selected so I cant go to a higher resolution and resize it that way)
    Here is a picture of my problem.

    Sorry about the delay, deithe.
    Okay, this is looking like a preference files thing.
    The technique you need to fix that is described in the "Remove iTunes Preference files" section of the "User-specific troubleshooting" section of the following document:
    [iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421]
    Before starting out on that, set the PC up to view hidden files and folders, as per the description at the beginning of the "User-specific troubleshooting" section.
    *Some heads-ups before proceeding*
    Be careful of any custom preferences (EQ, imports, etc) you have set up. Take a note of those, because rebuilding the relevant prefs returns all such prefs to their default settings. You may need to set up any such preferences all over again.
    You may also need to reinstall any third-party plugins afterwards.
    Things to expect during the pref file rebuild ... moving one set to the desktop (on XP) causes the setup assistant to run during the rebuild. Avoid saying yes if it asks you to import all the media files on your PC into iTunes. Otherwise, you'll end up duplicating all your content in your iTunes library. Moving the other set of prefs to the desktop (on XP) means that you have to agree to the licence agreement again.

  • Cant open .mov - Please Help

    I have a clip from Canon 5DM2 which i was able to play just fine
    -until I opened in QT 7 Pro and I trimmed to cut out some material
    Now I cant open it up
    I get message
    "The movie could not be opened.
    The end of file was reached."
    I know the data is still there b/c the file is 3GB large
    What to do
    Appreciate any help
    Thanks

  • Can not open itunes please help!!!

    Is any one getting this error message, " Quicktime failed to initialize ( Error-2096) Quicktime is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes, then install itunes agian)
    Now mind you Quick time starts up fine, I have no issues with that, but when I click on the itunes tab that error comes up. I have done everything I know but still can not get itunes to work, I have uninstalled quicktime and itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing, I am running windows XP Media Center Edition, service pack 3. Please some one help me, thank you.

    Even though the following article is about the -2096 when launching the QuickTime Player, I'd start with it for your iTunes as well:
    [Error -2096 message when opening QuickTime for Windows in Compatibility Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875]
    (If you do end up having to check the iTunes.exe compatibility mode tab too, be sure that no boxes in that tab are checked, not just the compatibility mode tab itself.)

  • Safari wont open after downloading 'genieo', its taken over homepage on internet and only opens for 1 second before closing rapidly. deleted it but still cant open internet. please HELP!

    safari wont open since downloading 'genieo' stupidly, well by accident i just looked what it is up..... as needed to crop song quickly and must have been on that page/..., i moved it to trash and removed it everywhere i could see it but its still taken over safari and so web page closes after 1 second of opening so i cant use it. There are removal instructions etc online but i cant get online to do them! how can i sort this out if i cant use the internet and change my homepage etc? Will people at Apple store be able to do this for me?

    There are some instructions that take time with some attention to detail to attempt and also remove all parts of the genieo and other adware malware bad content that come with visiting or downloading a variety of web sites which may spread their ilk to those who unknowingly or unwittingly get downloads or install content that has been doctored with some untoward idea in mind. Some of the posers do this to disrupt or sell more dysfunctional cures to their created mischief. The cure (incl their uninstaller) may be as bad as the problem.
    •The Safe Mac - Tech Guides: Note 'adware removal & others' here
    http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
    Genieo is a specific issue and has a section in there.
    http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=genieo&submit=Search
    For general adware, a script (beta, if you try luck)
    is available but it may not touch genieo...
    •Adware Removal Tool (applescript)
    http://www.thesafemac.com/art/
    The browser issue is covered under one of the topic areas, as that may also include a re-direct device where an extra button or home page to junk keeps loading. Incorrect removal of the badware may cause Safari to fail. However, you can get use a different browser to get information such as visit the above site, or here, etc.
    I do not know if the techs or genius at Apple Store would be able to remove the problem. One way it to erase everything on the computer, and start all over, and lose all your stuff. You should have a backup of your created content on a drive external to your computer, in addition to TimeMachine backups, for restoration purposes; this done before an issue strikes. The methods of removal are covered in the linked pages above.
    Another way, as suggested in detail by Linc Davis, can be followed and perhaps resolve the issue, too; at some point this topic thread will be seen by more than a few people. This is not a new topic here.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones

    i drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones.... i can send them or post but nothing to delete them

    The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
    Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes.

  • I cant able to save Re-Corrected metadata in itunes,Please help me

    I cant able to save Re-Corrected metadata in itunes,Please help me

    The link you gave me leads to a feed which is properly constructed as far as it goes but as I say is empty. Looking at the coding the text 'mp3' dopes not appear anywhere in it. You've constructed your feed in Wordpress/Powerpress and I'm afraid I can't advise on those. What have you done since originally posting?
    You can see the text of your feed in the Feedvalidator report (you can ignore the two 'errors').
    As you will see there is no 'item' tag nor any reference to mp3. If you are seeing a media file I can't explain that unless you aren't actually looking at the feed. The associated web page, http://www.pluggingintolife.com/podcast-page/ , has an embedded player referencing an MP3 file with a suitable URL (e.g. http not https) but it's not made it into the feed.
