Deleting Unnecessary iTunes and Quicktime Files

Having installed and subsequently updated iTunes and Quicktime (with both programs being parts of one update "package"), I believe I may have many unnecessary files on my machine which Apple's installation and updating processes did not throw out or which are created when the programs are used but not thrown out after usage.
Can you tell me if I can safely delete the files in the following folders?
In the location C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\installer cache\, the files in the following folders, which together use up 92MB of disk space: Apple Software Update 1.0.2.1, iTunes 7.0.2.16, iTunes 7.1.0.59, QuickTime 7.1.5.120.
In location C:\documents and settings\myname\local settings\application data\apple computer\quicktime\downloads\, the set of folders and subfolders which collectively contain 37MB of files with the extension .qtch.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, but what you're referring to has absolutely nothing to do with the problem I described in my post. You described how to change the display language WITHIN iTunes. My problem is the target and name of the start menu shortcut "Om iTunes", which on my PC opens a Swedish rtf file. Changing the iTunes language does not change the name and/or target of the shortcut.
The problem is that the iTunes (and QuickTime) installers assume I understand Swedish if my English Windows XP PC is configured to use Swedish date, time and currency formats. This is not necessarily the case, as I tried to explain in my original post.

  • ITunes and QuickTime will not work..Yeah, another one

    Despite my best efforts to try to solve my problem on my own and not both you kind people, I've been working on and off at trying to get my iTunes working, with no positive results at all. It's honestly been so long, I don't recall what might have sparked the issues, but every time I try to open iTunes or QuickTime they will begin to open but fail, bringing up the common windows error message:
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    So far, I have totally deleted both iTunes and QuickTime twice from my computer- first just through Add/Remove Programs pathways, then more in depth with Registry Crawler to try to remove any traces of the programs- all before re-installing the two programs. Both times have failed, still leaving me unable to open either program, so I've broken down and come here- hoping to find anyone willing to lend a hand to help fix this issue so that I can finally listen to my music the way I used to.

    Perfect information, thanks.
    That combination is almost always caused by some application stashing old QuickTime componentry down in your system files. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects, although some Games might do it too.)
    Let's go looking for the old stuff.
    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.)

  • Can't install itunes and quicktime on win7 32bit

    Hi all,
    since the new updates from october 2011 i couldnt update my itunes anymore. During the installation it said:
    in dutch: kan map C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu niet maken. Er bestaat al een bestand met deze naam. Wijzig de naam of verwijder het bestand en klik op nogmaals.
    In english: can not make folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu. There already excists a folder with this name. Rename the folder or delete the folder and try again.
    Now the problem is: i deleted my itunes and quicktime to finally install the new updates. When i install itunes it still give this message during the install and i cannot find the folder  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu  and i deleted everything i could find from itunes.
    In my start menu there isnt anything named itunes as far as i can see. how can i delete the folder so i can finally instal itunes again..?

    These are the minimums listed for the iPod Classic:
    Windows system requirements
    PC with USB 2.0 port
    Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    iTunes 7.4 or later

  • ITunes and Quicktime will not launch

    I cannot get my iTunes or Quicktime to launch. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, upgraded, and tried several fixes that I found on this discussion board. No Luck! I'm using XP Pro SP3. When I first installed iTunes, it worked, but then quit working about 4 weeks later. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and Quicktime.

    The error message you are getting suggests that you do have one of the problem codec packs installed on your system or you have had in the past.
    Quicktime does not install Quicktime.cpl in the system32 directory.
    It is possible that one of them was installed without you knowing with other software, I think Storm may get installed with other things although I can't name anything.
    You must look for the things on my list and uninstall them if you find them. Check in Add/Remove programs to see if there is an entry there.
    When you have uninstalled the problem items go on to the next stage. If you can't find anything you had better go on as well.
    Download the stand alone Quicktime (the one without iTunes):
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method in this article (just Quicktime):
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

  • Error Messages for iTunes and Quicktime, what do I do?

    Hello, I'm in need of some help.
    Let me walk you all through what I did for the last 4 hours:
    (important note: I suck at far too much computer stuff, so I am fully aware that as you read the following, at certain points I probably made the problem much worse than it needed to be, I am not proud of this, but everything you read did happen, stupid as it probably was for me to pursue the problems in the particular way that I did. Hindsight is 20/20.)
    I updated my iTunes v7.7 to v8.0 today, and after trying it out for a while decided that I didn't like it and wanted to go back to what I was using before.
    So, because I didn't know what else to do, I tried to re-install the original iTunes software that came with my iPod (a 20gig classic I bought in 2004). That version of iTunes was v6.0 (again, 3 years ago).
    Part way through the installation process, I got a message that said that, because I had a newer version of iTunes on the computer already, it wouldn't install the version on the disk.
    So I uninstalled v8.0, restarted my computer, and installed the v6.0 from the CD-ROM I had.
    It was then that I found I had NONE of the 6000+ songs in my iTunes window. I checked my computers files to find that they were still in the library, but my iTunes screen was completely devoid of all my music.
    So I tried to get it all back on the player. I discovered that by right-clicking "Play" for the individual files from the folders in my iTunes that they would come up on the player, but that meant that I'd be clicking in 6000+ songs, one by one, till they were all back. I didn't want to do that.
    So I tried a system restore (again, read "important note" at top of post). After that happened and I was looking at my desktop again, tried opening iTunes, and it gave me a message that said:
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    And it asks if I wanna send an error report. I decline, then try opening Quicktime. Same message. So I try to uninstall both programs (i know, i know, "important note"), and iTunes uninstalls, Quicktime does not, because, as my computer puts it, "a fatal error occurs."
    But since I have iTunes uninstalled, I go to apples site and download iTunes v8.0 again. After waiting for all that to get done, I get the same error message.
    So I peruse this very discussion forum, and after looking for a good while at what is being recommended I go to a site and download v7.7 again.
    Again, I get the same error message.
    So here I am. I've tried working it out myself for the last 4 hours, and I seem to have made things worse.
    So please, please, PLEASE, I ask for any help you can provide.
    Can I get my iTunes back?
    Is my Quicktime corrupted now?
    Am I totally screwed?

    I had the same problem when I went to upgrade to 8 and then downgrade back to 7.7. To fix this is a little involved, but you can do it. Let me put it this way, I talked my mother through it on the phone, and she has a hard time finding the power button So no worries, I'll help you get back up and running. I am running Vista now, so I am going off of memory for Vista, so bear with me.
    I would do the following:
    1. Uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime by going to Control Panel-Add Remove Programs, and choosing first Quicktime then iTunes.
    2. Clean your registry. Easy now, it is not that hard. To do it, go to http://www.ccleaner.com/download and download CCleaner. It is free and has NO spyware. Install it and run the registry cleaner. It will remove any trace of both programs from the registry. Now you have 2 choices.
    3a. Now I would install iTunes 8. Because you already installed it once, it converted its database file that it uses to track the library and play lists up to the iTunes 8 standard.
    3b. If you have no problem loosing your playlists and library settings, you can go back to iTunes 7.7. To do this, first search for "itunes.ttl". To do this, go to Start-Search Files and Folders- and type in "iTunes.ttl" Once the search finishes, it will tell you where it is located. Navigate there using Windows Explorer or My Computer and delete it. Now you can install iTunes 7.7 with out any errors. You will not loose any files! just your playlists and it will not remember what is in your library.
    As far as adding your songs again, did you try to re-importing your music? If you go to the file menu-add folder to library. It will bring up a dialogue box that will allow you to browse to the folder with your music.
    Let me know if this works. I will help in anyway I can.
    Good Luck,

  • Latest update for Itunes and Quicktime has killed my internet

    Last night i updated the latest Itunes and quicktime as per my regular software update process. The system required a reboot which i completed. I then complete permissions verifications and repairs.
    I then attempt to open safari and go online it could not access the internet. Nor could it access the wi-fi config. pages. The signal of the airport was high and the router box appears to be working fine.
    When i tried to open internet connect it opened the programme but could not access any details. It simply goes to the colour wheel. I attempted a reboot and experienced similar problems.
    Please help!

    I have excactly the same problem. After completing this update my Airport card finds my home network no problem with a good strong signal, BUT I am not connected to the internet. When I look at the Network settings under the summary I have an amber'light' and the text says that whilst I am connected to my home network there is no IP address and it can not connect to the internet. Last time I had Aiprort sleep issues after a Security update and I had to memove the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleairportKext2 file to solve it. I noticed that this file is back again so deleted it, but still no joy as I can't get Airport to detect an IP address. My router is working fine as my Tiger equipped laptop connexts via Airport withy no problem, so it is something in this 10.3.9 suite of updates (iTunes/Quicktime/Security as at Nov 07) that has done it.
    I now get a spinning beach ball when I select the menu bar Airport icon.
    As my wife uses this computer for all her internet work and email, I am in big trouble as it is clearly all my fault. Any good samaritans that can restore marital harmony would be much appreciated.

  • After completely uninstalling iTunes and QuickTime, registry keys remain!

    I have completely uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime from my PC (OS = XP Home) and deleted all folders and files associated with Apple, iTunes or QuickTime that were not removed during the normal uninstall procedure.
    Also, I have cleaned my registry using Registry Mechanic. However, about 120 registry keys for iTunes and QuickTime stubbornly remain. I have tried to remove them several times, but on the next scan they are still there. Manual removal using Regedit also fails, resulting in the message:
    "Cannot delete **: error while deleting key".
    I don't understand how a program that has been completely deleted can still have registry traces. The offending keys (listed below) are in the Custom Controls section. How can I delete them?

    Manual removal using Regedit also fails
    In regedit, check the permissions on one of the keys that you're failing to remove. Does the user account that you're logged into (while doing the regedit) have full permissions on the key?

  • Updated iTunes and QuickTime, now neither will launch

    I installed iTunes 7.1 and QT 7.1.5 tonight. Immediately after restarting, I was unable to launch Firefox 2.0.0.2 or reinstall it. In researching that problem, I've discovered I cannot launch iTunes or QT Player.
    With each app, the triangle appears next to the icon in the dock when I launch it, but then the color wheel spins for awhile, the system hangs, and the application stops launching. There's no error dialog. The Finder appears to restart, too, because the Dock and the Finder bar disappear and reappear.
    Any suggestions for what to restall, which files to trash, etc?
    Thanks.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    TD, thanks for the suggestions, but I'm still stuck. Here's what I've tried:
    1. Deleted the com.apple.iTunes.plist file, restarted iTunes and it would not launch.
    2. Created new account, tried launching iTunes. It did not launch.
    3. Downloaded and reinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, then restarted. iTunes, QuickTime, and Firefox would not launch.
    4. Re-reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, restarted, still unable to launch iTunes or QuickTime.
    Any further ideas? I'm stumped! Thanks.

  • ITunes and Quicktime downgrading...

    Hi there... I have a G4 and am using OSX 10.3.9. This is my Pro-Tools computer as I have an older version of ProTools that doesn't run on 10.4 or upwards.
    So... The story so far. I updated my computer with the more recent versions of iTunes and Quicktime (from iTunes 6.0.3 & Quicktime 6.5), as I was advised by a "friend" to do this. However, it turns out that the new versions don't work with OSX 10.3.9. So I was then advised by the same "friend" to delete (don't ask, as I'm still not sure who's pulling my strings) these recent versions of QuickTime and iTunes from my applications folder and to delete all the preferences associated with them, which I've now done.
    We then located the old versions that we were originally using i.e. iTunes 6.0.3 and Quicktime 6.5 and have been trying to reinstall these... But with little success.
    So my questions are:
    Do I need to do an "Archive and Install" from the original OSX 10.3 disks?
    OR do I need to "Archive and Install" using the original OSX 10.1.3 disks?
    Also, during an "Archive and Install", are all my files safe i.e. they won't vanish (we have an album's worth of material on there that the record label are expecting us to give them very soon)?
    If the above fails...
    Is there anyway of simply installing the older versions of iTunes and Quicktime from web links?
    Yours hopefully!!!
    Karl

    Go to - http://www.oldapps.com/downloadiTunesmac.php - to d/l your choice of iTunes.
    Go to HD>Library>Receipts - remove the receipt iTunesX.pkg to the trash - you should now be able to install iTunes.
    Have a b/u of your critical data before you do any 'archive/install' which I cannot see is necessary. Your friend appears to be steering you in directions that is causing you problems.
    Why would you even consider doing a 'archive/install' from the 10.1.3 disk?
    I am not sure about QT - however you can remove the QT receipt and see if that helps.

  • Complete removal of iTunes and QuickTime

    If I completely remove iTunes and QuickTime, will all the songs from my music library in iTunes be deleted too? Will they be there when I install iTunes again?
      Windows XP Pro  

    Hi Mihail,
    When you delete your installation files (like through Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, or if you use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility), your song files should be saved.
    As long as you don't delete the folder called "iTunes Music" (which is inside another folder above that, called "iTunes"), then your songs will be fine.
    By default, I believe iTunes saves its library in your My Documents/My Music folder, although it may be stored elsewhere. You can always go to the "Start" menu on your computer, and chose "Search" to search for your "itunes music" folder.
    Regardless, the installation files/folders are separate from your iTunes library files, so they should be safe.

  • Error - 1603 on installation of itunes and quicktime

    Ive read and trouble shot various threads in this... heres my problem
    I tried installing, and it didnt work... after that i tried uninstalling both itunes and quicktime, the itunes never showed up in my add/remove section... using the windows install clean up and this took off the itunes... im assuming. ok after that i tried deleting everything from quicktime. I did the add/remove and took it off. Now im trying to install quicktime and the installer wont even start, when it does start it gets about 80% done and then gives me the 1603 message. Same scenerio with Itunes. I am installing from the desktop not from the internet.
    heres what the message reads.
    Error - 1603 Fatal Error During Installation
    Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information
    I put off so much work to try to get this fixed... i need some assistance.
    thanks in advance.

    Hello everybody,
    I have exactly the same problem as Mark and Paul, both with QT7 install and itunes install but it turned a bit differently.
    Before having the -1603 error, I had, for each of the both installs (QT & itunes), a registry error "impossible to open the HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes....."
    I did all was possible, at least to me(delete temp files, uninstall all QT & itunes applications, run Windows Installer Cleaner ...), and I finally manage to install QT V7 but the error still remains for itunes !
    Like Paul, I can't find the select Local Users and Groups under
    Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > System Tools
    I tried the "%windir%\registration" solution but after opening the folder , I don't know what to do !!??!!
    I've got an empty "CRMLog" folder, a "{02D4B3F1-FD88-11D1-960D-00805FC79235}.{E6259674-0B1E-4459-893A-8BC3F8707995}. crmlog file, a R00000000000b and a R00000000000c files.
    What should I try with those files, pleeeeaaaase ? Helpppp : I'm not THAT good !
    PS A may be useful precision : this occurs with an old version of itunes (V5, I think)
    PS2 : in the register at "HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda\OpenWithProgids", I have a iTunes.cdda file --> should I try and delete it ?
    Thanks in advance

  • ITunes and QuickTime doesn't open up on Windows Vista

    Hi! I will apreciate all who tries to answer this question.
    I have Windows Vista on my HP laptop and I dowloaded iTunes and QuickTime.
    I had no problem downloading it, but then opening it came a box.
    It said:
    iTunes has stopped working
    Windows can check online for a solution to the problem
    -> Check online for a solution and close the program

    Then I press close the program and a speech bubble appears at the

    It said:

    I have no idea whats hapening.
    HELP!

    excellent information, sparkly.
    Fault Module Name: StackHash_fd00
    Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
    ... and:
    To help protect your computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes
    ... and the QuickTime Player not launching either (it's a "QuickTime has stopped working" error?).
    With that combination, we need to check on some other application (apart from QuickTime itself) stashing old QuickTime componentry on the PC in an unorthodox location. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects with that, although some games might do the same.)
    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.)

  • Itunes and Quicktime won't open.

    I recently had a problem with Itunes, which deleted anything new I purchased or downloaded. I found out that if I rebuilt the library the problem could be solved, but I didn't want to risk losing any data so I didn't do it. I figured I'd wait for an update that would fix it and a couple days later I downloaded Itunes 7.3.1. The download did not go smoothly at all. During the course of it: it had to stop downloading and download both Itunes and Quicktime seperatly and it kept saying that my Quicktime was not up to date (something it's been saying for the last couple months). I've tried fixing that before, but when I do it prevents me from going into Itunes.
    Now after downloading 7.3.1 neither one of the programs will open. Itunes says, "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration." and Quicktime says, "Runtime Error! ... This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
    I'm starting to get really annoyed with Itunes, for the last couple months it's had nothing but problems. Can someone please help me.
      Windows XP  

    Hi Clyde33.
    Itunes says, "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration."
    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
    Quicktime says, "Runtime Error! ... This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."

  • ITunes and QuickTime stopped working after an upgrade...

    I have been pulling my hair out trying to get my iTunes working again. Here is what I have done already in order:
    1. Does not work regardless of user (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856)
    2. Tried running with changes to MSCONFIG
    - Ran according to Apple Support Web Site (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538)
    - Ran in Diagnostics mode
    - Ran in /SAFEMODE
    3. Uninstalled and removed from any reference from registry
    4. Removed iTunes configuration files (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386)
    5. Installed WinInspector Spy and launched iTunes to see what happened. Unfortunately I have not figured out how to copy and paste the log, but it shows the iTunes window class being created, a bunch of other stuff, then the OfficeWatson class, stuff and then the infamous "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" message. After hitting the Send Error Report, I see the OfficeWatson window being destroyed and that is it. This leads me to believe that the problem is somehow with the outlook integration between iTunes and Windows? So I looked in my Add/Remove programs and sure enough Office and Outlook were upgraded the day after the last time i was able to use iTunes. So I tried uninstalling Office, iTunes and QuickTime. QuickTime refused to uninstalled claiming a fatal error. I then forcably removed it as described in the apple knowledge paper. Another interesting point, when I ran QuickTime, nothing happens, not even a crash message. When I run QuickTime Preferences from the system tray, the dialog shows, but when I click on the FileTypes tab, I get a RUNDLL error: "An exception occurred while trying to run "Shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl".
    I also tried running StraceNtX.exe against it, but it doesnt create the right environment for iTunes (it thinks it is Windows 2000 and does have the right service pack).
    PLEASE can someone help? This is the second time this has happened to me. The first time was on another computer that came with a "real" restore point (not the stupid one Windows has that does not work) and I solved it by simply restoring back in time. This time I do not have that option!
    ARGH - I really do not want to have to use Media Player.
    Is there a way to force a stack trace? I am a UNIX programmer and not familiar with Windoze.

    It sounds as though things have got pretty screwed up. If you couldn't clean things up properly with the MS installer cleaup, there is thread on cleaning up uninstall information in the registry.

    I am not sure that I have anything more to offer as you appear to have done most things. Have you tried turning off all security software while doing the install, and doing the MSconfig thing with just Quicktime. Presumably your system is free of malware?
    As a matter of interst, what happens if you have the task manager running when you start Quicktime, does it start and then stop, or keep running or not start at all?
    A few people seem to have these intractable problems and the forum expert on this has been away since christmas, but you could try searching the forum for "b noir" posts about install/launch problems.
