DEP error when opening quicktime and itunes

I've installed the latest version of both quicktime and itunes on my new laptop but neither of them open as they are prevented by DEP on windows vista, does anyone have any idea how to get around this or help me. It's fustrating as i can't update the music on my i-pod touch

DEP errors often seem to occur with incompatible codecs.
Go to your control panel (classic view) and try to start QUicktime Preferences. Post the error message *in full*. This can give a clue about codec issues.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them.
Assuming this is a codec problem you need to remove then reinstall QUickitme after uninstalling the problem software.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime 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.

Irreversible error when opening or reinstalling iTunes

Every time I try to open iTunes, the windows installer starts and then a message says "A more recent version of iTunes is already installed on this computer" and then "Irreversible error during installation".
What can I do? I cannot use iTunes at all!!
HELP!!!

My guess it that you are not launching itunes.exe but the itunessetup.exe. Do you get that message when going _Start > Programs > itunes > itunes_?

Fail error when opening cd and dvd: 'director player error: internal error: unexpected failure while compositing bitmap 5 of PLAYER-CAST 2'. How do I fix this?

I have a new laptop acer aspire e17, running windows 8.1. I have downloaded flash, shockwave and java. Everytime i try to run an interactive cd i use for study, the error message in the title comes up.
'director player error: internal error: unexpected failure while compositing bitmap 5 of PLAYER-CAST 2'
I have checked that all the browsers on my computer support shockwave (the cartoon is playing on chrome, mozilla and IE).
The interactive cd and dvds work on other laptop, not working on this one.
How can I fix this?
Thanks.

It will now play audio cds and dvds. The computer asks me what to do with them first. The problem is still the cd i use for study. Its is an interactive cd - it is its own application - clicking on images and animations to teach vowel sounds, sentences etc.
The disc works on my other laptop, which is running in windows 7. All discs are recognised by my windows 7 and 8.1 dvd/cd player/writer, but when the title page for the interactive cd pops up on windows 8.1, the director error message pops up and the homepage shuts down with the message.
I feel like Im sure there is a package or a patch I can download to fix this issue, I just need to know what. Please help.

Error when installing QuickTime for iTunes 7

"The installlation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires QuickTime."
That's exactly how it appears, typo and all, when I attempt to install iTunes 7.
Here are a few errors from a log file:
MessageType: INSTALLMESSAGE_INFO
Message: 1: ISMsiServerStartup Failure, Failed to create InstallDriver, Error = 0x80029c4a
Returning: 1L
MessageType: INSTALLMESSAGE_INFO
Message: 1: MsiServerStartup failed. Abort installation.
Returning: 1L

Returning: 1L
MessageType: INSTALLMESSAGE_INFO
Message: Action ended 16:41:27: ISStartup. Return value 3.
Returning: 1L
I can post the rest if it would help. I've googled for this and can't turn up anything. Any help would be appreciated.
I've also checked the InstallDriver parameters in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dcomcnfg.exe are set to the launching user.

Ok...Here's what will solve your problem for sure. I know because it worked for me.
Step 1.) If you have itunes/quicktime on your computer, uninstall quicktime using the installer that came with it. You don't need to uninstall itunes.
Step 2.) Reboot your computer and terminate/disable all antivirus/spyware shields/protection.
Step 3.) Click start, run, type regedit, and navigate to the key that was mentioned when you first tried to install/upgrade itunes and quicktime. Delete the folder the key (value) resides in, which is something like: QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp (whatever is said from the installer).
Step 4.) Close the registry editor, and install the new itunes/quicktime. You might want to download it again to start with a fresh copy.
Note: If you did as I said, it will work and quicktime/windows will not be harmed because of the registry editing.
Hope this solves this problem once and for all. Have fun!

NIMax shows error when opening device and interface

I have just installed NI-VISA 3.1. NIMax will not open the devices and interfaces configuration to allow me to see the GPIB and PXI devices.
It gives a message of "NIMax.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program."

Hello,
It sounds like an installation has been corrupted. As a general, first-order fix for such problems, you can uninstall and reinstall the program with corrupted files (using add/remove programs from your control panel). To get a better idea for which program has corrupted files, when MAX crashes click the details button (if one shows) in the error message (include such information in any repost as well!). If your system was stable prior to installing NI-VISA 3.1, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling NI-VISA. If you have the time, I would uninstall all of your NI hardware and software, then reinstall your NI software, then reinstall your NI hardware (you should check your hardware manuals to be sure that your specific NI hardware does not require instal
lation before the software). Also, if you could provide the version information for all of your NI software and your current hardware setup (NI and otherwise), it may open other options for solutions!
Thank you,

Error when opening iPhoto and missing pictures

I don't know what exactly would have impacted the fact that when I open iPhoto is goes to a message saying "Your Photo Library was not found" I don't know where it would have gone. I downloaded the new version of iTunes and allowed iPhoto to sync to my iPod. I only synced some of the albums I created but the ones I did, show up on my iPod but I have now record that they were ever on my computer. I did a search for them in Spotlight (came up with nothing) and I don't even have my pictures folder anylonger. I know I didn't delete the folder or the pictures. I just want my photos back. I want to know what I can do, if anything, to get them back. I know I should have backed them up/saved them somewhere else, I realize that but I didn't. So where do I go from here?

First of all, look for the iPhoto Library folder in your Pictures folder. Is it still there? If so, then you have a chance to recover your photos.
Next, look in the library folder to verify that your .jpg files are still readable. You will have to go down multiple levels. Click on the .jpg file icons to open them. Do not make ANY changes to the files!
The .jpg files are your photos. If you can't find them, then you can try searching for them. If you tell us what version of Mac OS X you are running, we can tell you how to do the search.

Quicktime and itunes will not open error message

I think their is suppose to be two files (QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx) in the systems 32 folder. But there is a quick.ime also in the folder, do I delete it so that my quicktime and itunes work.

No, quick.ime is not part of Quicktime. Don't delete it.
If Quicktime will not open, then iTunes can't work.
Can you give the Quicktime error message in full, and also check in your Windows error logs or Problems & solutions to see if there is more information there.
You haven't given your Windows version which helps when troubleshooting.

Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
My pc is working with windos 8.
Is there a solution?

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Error when opening: "DiscoBrick 1.60. Unable to locate the plugin. Repair permissions and retry."

Error when opening: "DiscoBrick 1.60. Unable to locate the <> plugin. Repair permissions and retry."

I also got this error this morning. DiscoBrick is just a visual plug-in for itunes that i don't even use, so i just uninstalled it and that solved my problem.
Go to MacHD/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug Ins/ then delete DiscoBrick.
If you still want it you could try re-installing it again

Get DEP error when starting itunes

After installing the latest version of itunes, each time I try to start it I receive an error message that states "DEP error, Windows has shut down Itunes to prevent damage to my system". Been using itunes for years with no problem. Now can not get it to work, HELP!

I managed to resolve this by carrying out the steps here. I was getting the same error after trying to reinstall the previous version (11.1.13)
http://www.reimageplus.com/fix-windows-127-error/
I uninstalled all Apple products and deleted the Program Files directories and restarted when it said.
Reinstalled and ITunes now works correctly. Hope that helps.

"open with" arguement between quicktime and itunes

When I first got my Mac I changed the default app to open music CD's (AIFF) from iTunes to Quicktime (because I wanted an app that would open quickly and use as little desktop real estate as possible). Now I want to change it back to iTunes. I performed the "get info" steps to change the "open with" setting, but it does not stick. At least not properly. An inserted CD will now make iTunes open and begin playing the music, but Quicktime will also open, show a QT player, then suddenly show a new small window which says "switching," then the player goes away and a larger QT browser type window appears promoting music, movies etc.
How do I get QT to stop opening along with iTunes?
I have checked all the MIME settings in QT.
Thanks,
Warren

I just tested it again (since my test last night) and it's worse. An AIF/AIFF will open with iTunes on the hard drive, but a CD inserted will now only open Quicktime (Not iTunes).
When I try changing the "open with" setting, I am faced with a dialog which reads: you dont have priveledges to change the application for this document only. Do you want to change all your quicktime player.app documents to open with the application itunes.app? CANCEL > CONTINUE.
I tried hitting both cancel and continue with no luck. I also logged in as administrator and tried to change the setting.
I migrated to Mac thinking life would be simpler!? ;->

HAD AN ERROR WHEN DOWNLOADING QUICKTIME THIS MORNING NOW ITUNES SAY ITS CLOSED ??? RUNNING VISTA

HAD AN ERROR WHEN DOWNLOADING QUICKTIME THIS MORNING NOW ITUNES SAY ITS CLOSED ??? RUNNING VISTA

Found the solution! Hooray!
Noticed a suggestion on this thread:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11731496#11731496
To look in the ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile\ Backups folder to find the Manifest.plist folder, and delete entries for apps that might be causing the problem.
I remembered that a little while ago, I had started getting an error message while syncing and updated app (Sleepmaker or something- couldn't remember which, precisely, but knew that it was a white noise app). So, I went to the Manifest.plist folder, and removed the entries for the couple different flavors of the Sleepmaker app that I had installed.
Then, reconnected the iPhone, and clicked "Continue Restore" once again when it reported that there had been an interrupted restore. This time, it went through fully! Took quite a while (~1 hr) to copy all my media onto the phone, but now it's all there! Hopefully this will help others who might in the same situation...
