  • Can not remove or install itunes because hkey-local-machine\software\classes\.m3u\openwithlist\itunes.exe   no permission

    itunes will not install or uninstall because  hkey-local-machine\software\classes\.m3u\openwithlist\itunes.exe   no permission.  I can edit and delete every other regedit but not this key

    I found this solution on the Apple Support Forums. Adding the SYSTEM account is what worked for me:
    +Let's check your permissions on the key.+
    +In your "Start Search" box, type run and click on the Run that comes up. In your run, type regedit and hit enter.+
    +In regedit:+
    +Expand HKEYLOCALMACHINE+
    +Expand SOFTWARE+
    +Expand CLASSES+
    +Right-click on pcast and select "Permissions".+
    +Select your user account name. Do you have full control of the key? If so, also select SYSTEM. Does the SYSTEM account have full control of the key?+

  • Error when upgrading to 10.5 on Windows7. Message is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\.m4b\OpenWithList\itunes.exe. Verify that you have sufficent access to that key. I am an administrator but cannot get to that key for some reason.

    I tried creating a new user account and installing and it would not work either. I tried the uninstall recommendation from Apple and that did not work. I am running out of ideas. I even had my IT look at it and they said Apple sometimes locks down their registries for some reason.

    This isn't really my thing but no one else has replied.
    A few thoughts, if this is an upgrade, are you using the same account to do the upgrade as you used for the original install? If now it might be worth trying the other account.
    Although you account has admin status, it might be worth logging in as THE adminstrator, if you haven't done that.
    Although you don't have HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\.aif\OpenWithProgIds, you didn't say if you have HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\.aif - if you do it might be worth checking permission there.
    If this is an iTunes 7.5 upgrade problem - you didn't say - it might be worth gettting the details to royb - see this post:

  • Could not write value to key /software/clases/.cda/openwithlist/itunes.exe.

    this is what comes up when i try installing itunes both 7.2 and 7.1 is says verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personell. what do i do?i cnat open itunes now, because i removed it and it wont let me reinstalll it. i also removed quicktime if that makes a difference. what should i do? thanks

    even though you're not getting a 1406 or 1402 error message number with that, when one of those messages references the /software/clases/.cda/openwithlist/itunes.exe key, the best place to start is with the following document:
    Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

  • HELP ME!!!! itunes wont open, error says could not open key......

    I attempted to update itunes to the newest upgrade, and the upgrade was unsucceful, and now this error comes up everytime i try to open itunes (it wont open at all). the error says
    Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.wav\OpenWithList\iTunes.exe.
    Verify that you have sufficent access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    This makes no sense since this is on my home PC

    hmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
    preliminaries
    download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
    iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
    switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
    uninstall
    use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
    Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
    ... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    reboot after uninstalling.
    reinstall
    remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
    reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
    if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:

  • Could not open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Quicktime.Quicktime\

    Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classic\Quicktime.Quicktime\CLSID
    is the error message I recieve when attempting to install the latest version of quicktime. I attempted to delete the key and other quicktime keys from the registry but I recieve this error message:
    'Cannot delete Quicktime.Quicktime: Error Deleting Key'. I then tried to export the key and recieved this: 'selected branch does not exist. Make sure correct path is given.'
    Any help with a solution would be greatly appreciated

    What I would do is go to registry key and try deleting it. If it does not delete, right click on it and choose permissions. Permissions need to be allowed for at least Administrator and System. If the key does not delete, move on to the next one that is asscociated with QuickTime and delete it, and go on deleting all the keys that are QuickTime related. The one that would not delete may delete after deleting the others.
    Let me try to explain this the best I can. I am not a expert in the registry, but know enough to get in and out deleting a programs keys without having the computer become completely unfunctional. There are also books on it.
    For example when I delete a program I also go into the registry and remove it, just something I do. Because after removing a program thru the add\remove program control panel and start>search>for all files and folders, there are still registry entrees.
    When I start deleting keys in the registry from a program I'll normally run into one that won't delete, even after giving it permissions. So I'll by pass it and go on to the next key, related to the program. The one that wouldn't delete will come up again and end up deleting. So I seem to think that some of the keys inter-react with one another. Because the one that initially wouldn't delete now does after deleting the others, and sometimes giving permissions again.
    If you want to delete all keys asscociated with a program. You can go to the Edit menu in the registry, choose Find, type in the name of the program and hit the Enter key on the keyboard. When the key shows up hit Delete on the keyboard. To get to the next key associated with the program, hit the F3 key on the keyboard and the next one will appear. This can get confusing because a registry entree can show up as a series of numbers, so your counting on the registry editor that, that key is asscociated with the program. As long as you are deleting keys that are associated with a program you are OK, if you delete something in the registry that you are not sure of, that is where you'll get in trouble.
    You should try going to the path giving here to the registry. HKEYLOCALMACHINESoftwareClasses and try deleting those keys that are QuickTime and see if it resolves the problem.

    Hello, I am having a similar problem as described here. Except there are a series of other registry keys with restricted access. In an attempt to completely uninstall quicktimes to reinstall with itunes 7, I tried deleting these registry keys and was unable. I found this post and tried to change permisions and was still unable. the error messages I recieve when I try to install quicktimes stand-alone or itunes
    iTunes + QuickTime
    Error 1905.Module C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTOCONTROL.dll failed to unregister
    HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your support
    personnel.
    plus a few others like this one with slightly varrying keys, then the installation continues before a final error message appears and closes the installation

    The Adobe knowledgebase article actually pointed me in the right
    direction and I was able to solve the issue. Thanks to all who gave
    advise, you guys are the reason these forums work!
    The error message was actually coming from the Microsoft Installer, not
    from anything related to National Instruments. Also, ironically, what
    the message said was spot on with one exception, while I personally had
    access to the registry key, the installer didn’t. What I ended up doing
    was going into the registry using regedit and setting the permissions
    on the key in questions such that “Everyone” had full access. After
    that I uninstalled LabView then reinstalled and it worked fine this
    time. The step by step follows:
    1) Open the registry editor by selecting "Run" from the start menu and then typing in "regedit".
    2) Browse through the registry and select the entry mentioned in the error message.
    3) Choose "Permissions..." from either the edit menu or by right-clicking on the registry key's parent directory.
    4) Click the "Advanced" button to add a new user.
    5) Type in "Everyone" as the new user and click OK (it may not be
    necessary to give everyone full control but this is what I did and it
    worked).
    6) Configure the permissions for user "Everyone" to "Full Control"
    7) Uninstall LabView (if necessary) and re-install.
    Best regards,
