Computer cannot remove Quicktime to install newer version

when i try to download the newest itunes it also downloads the newest quicktime of course. Well, It was trying to and then a message poped up saying, "The older version of Quicktime cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group." This also prevented the newest itunes to download too. Now I tryed to delete Quicktime in different ways and it wouldn't work. I also don't know what it means where it says to contact my technical support group. Does that mean Dell(my cpu is from ther) or apple.com where you go to suppport. If you know how to fix my problem then please help. Thank you so much!

okay, if you're getting a .msi/1714/1603 combo, here's what we'll try first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
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
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.)

HT1926 When Installing new version error is quicktime cannot uninstall old version

When trying to install new version of Quicktime, I get a error message that quicktime cannot uninstall old version. This also affects Itunes to work. Get Message Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I think not having quicktime working affects my Itunes from launching.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

You usually have to use the program's uninstaller utility for such things as Symantec. Read this:

You may need to install it all over again, just to use its uninstaller.

Can't install new version of itunes or quicktime

Like others, I get the error message Apple Application Support needed to run itunes Helper. Uninstall itunes then instal again. I have repeatedly tried to instal new version of itunes having uninstalled (following troubleshooting page) the old version. I also get the Microsoft windows message Windows installer stopped working and was closed. When I try to install Quick Time on its own I get the message "An error occurred during the installation of assembly Microsoft VC.80,CRT.... What can I do?

In general, these ones tend to be caused by underlying problems on the PC that can prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to try to fix the Windows Update issues. If we can get Windows Updates flowing again, that generally clears up the iTunes install errors +en passant.+
Head into your Windows Update, and check for any new updates. Do any fail? If so, open your Update History and doubleclick on the failure entries to bring up a small box with alphanumeric error message codes. Are you getting 8000FFFFs? (They often seem to be associated with an iTunes-install 0x800736FD.)
If you're getting 8000FFFFs, try the following Microsoft document:
[Windows Update Error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
Head back to Windows Update, and stock up on any updates you're behind on. Once you're completely up to date in that regard, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Unable to fully uninstall older firefox version to install new version.

When installing new version of firefox, I receive the instruction that I should re-boot to complete removal of previous version. After doing this, I continue to receive the same instruction when I try to install again.

I am new to these forums and hope this is posted in the right one. If not, could someone direct me?
I am having a ton of problems with 5.1. I installed it last Friday (without removing the previous version) and nothing is working properly. It took me 2 days to figure out a way to delete it (uninstaller would not work). To begin with, iTunes would simply not open. I double click on the icon and nothing. Tried to re-install and same problem. Found a copy of 4.9 and installed it, but got error message stating "QuickTime failed ti initialize - Error #2095. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed. Uninstalled iTunes again and tried to uninstall QuickTime so I could start from scratch. When I run Add/Delete programs, QuickTime does not appear. However, when I run search, it lists a freaking 433 files associated with QuickTime.
Can someone tell me a simple way to erase iTunes completely from my computer? If I can do this, I will simply reinstall the original iTunes I got with my mini and not worry about updating. I don't care about the podcasts -- I just want to be able to get back to the beginning so I can import tunes to my mini. Sorry for this being so long, but I am at my wit's end dealing with this. Thanks.

Due to slow internet connection, I cannot update my iphoe to new version 5. Is there any shortcut

Due to slow internet connection, I cannot update my iphoe to new version 5. Is there any shortcut where I can update my iphone to new version quickly

If your computer's connection is slow then you can update your iOS from your phone.
Find a free, strong Wi-Fi network.
Go to Settings>General>Software Update>choose option "Download and Install"
Benefit: if you update phone through this method the actual download size will be only 30 to 50 MB only! and it works fine! if you try to download iOS from iTunes it will goes around 800MB.

Got the following error when installing new version.
The installer has encountered an unexpected error. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324

No idea what to do now.

Hi,
For option: "install new versions automatically", we can simply prevent it via GPO or registry (the registry entry can also be deployed via GPO)
Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Internet Explorer - Install new versions of Internet Explorer automatically
Or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"EnableAutoUpgrade"=dword:00000000

Installed new version of Firefox, now scroll wheel does not work

Installed new version of Firefox, now my scroll wheel does not work. I need this fixed immediately or will be forced to abandon Firefox as my browser. Can anyone help? I saw some Q&A on this but no definite fix. Thanks!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Immediately after I installed

I have the same problem, plus more. I cannot click on a button, does no good. I have been using 3.01, would never upgrade; always had a problem since 3.5. Now I upgrade to 3.66 figuring the problems were over, wrong. No scroll wheel, no buttons, cannot close half the windows, cannot go to a bookmarked page. Did Microsoft take over Mozilla? If I wanted a junk browser, I would use IE. I want the Firefox that it used to be; stable, reliable. What happened? Only way I can get Firefox to work is in safe-mode.
