Error   -2096,       iTunes will not run  HELP AAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH

Anyone PLEASE HELP.......
My processor died so I now have a new one.
I have been forced to download the new version of iTunes.
Everything seems ok until I try to "run" iTunes and the following error message appears.
Quick Time Unavailable"
"Quick Time failed to initialize (error-2096)."
"Quick time is required to run iTunes."
"Please reinstall iTunes".
Quick Time operates fine on its own.
I have reinstalled iTunes multiple times with no success. Is there a fault with the latest software. Earlier versions worked fine !

The 2096 erro may be associated with running in compatabilty mode, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305212
None of the tick boxes on the compatability tab should be checked.
It is also worth checking iTunes.exe in c:Program Files\iTunes.

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

    Try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does that clear up the launch errors?

    Hi Greybeard1955,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that iTunes is not opening after uninstalling and re-installing it. When iTunes is uninstalled on a Windows computer, all of its components must be removed as well and they must be removed in a specific order. Below is the article for uninstalling on Windows 7. I recommend uninstalling iTunes and all components in order and reinstalling fresh.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    I hope this helps,  
    -Joe

    Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
    1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
    2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80.

  • Itunes will not run unless I disable bonjour

    itunes only runs when I disable the "bonjour" service and thus cannot sync with my itouch, as, from what I learnt it's the bonjour service that allows the sync to happen. If I disable it itunes will not launch, I enable it, I cannot sync my ipod touch, it doesn't see it! Please help if you know how to fix this.
    Thanks

    The only sign that its had any activity was last night when I tried to shut down my computer I got a "Not responding" window about itunes store...
    Hmmm. with that one, perhaps try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (A LSP issue in theory could affect an iTunes launch via the Bonjour Service, although the symptom isn't mentioned in the document.)

  • Itunes will not run after update. Windows 8.1

    I have windows 8.1 and just downloaded the latest update. The icon has disappeared from the desktop and the program will not run. Can I uninstall and reinstall without losing my library? Please help. Can't live without my music!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • After downloading iTunes will not run, after downloading iTunes will not run

    after downloading iTunes it will not run on my pc in order for me to install it.

    Are you able to successfully download an installer if you use Firefox instead of IE or vice versa? (Firefox handles network/internet connections differently from other browsers, so an issue in IE can sometimes be overcome by using Firefox or vice versa.)

  • IPod not properly ejected- now iTunes will not work - Help!

    My friend had his ipod connected to my computer to charge. Conneceted through USB on a Dell/ Windows 2000 / system. He disconnected the ipod without properly ejecting it - Now, when i connect my ipod, iTunes will not recognize it- iTunes does not open- screen just reads do not disconnect. When i manually open itunes with the ipod attached, it freezes. I have re-installed iTunes, rebooted the ipod, nothing works. Recommendations? Have scowered this site for answers, tried just about everything, nothing has worked. Your help is greatly appreciated!

  • Had an update error now itunes will not recognise my phone and it is frozen

    I tried to update my iphone 3g tonight and it encountered an error. Now itunes will not recognise the phone and it is frozen on a screen telling me to connect it to itunes. I have turned it on and off and it remains stuck. I have restarted my computer and itunes and no change.

    Hey- just went through something similar - and I'm sorry I don't have the perfect answer... bc mine did what you are saying except my itunes did recognize that "an iphone" was connected and so it suggested that I do a recovery-mode restore on it and then I did a back up restore via itunes to get my most recent back up transferred to my iphone, and then it finally listed my phone as "xxx's iphone" in itunes.... here's the link I used: http://www.copytrans.net/blog/how-to-restore-iphone-after-updating-to-ios-7/  and I also used: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    I think what you are saying is that itunes doesn't even recognize that your iphone is plugged in - so you can't start the recovery process?  I DO know that in the hours of me muddling through the internet - googling this issue - that I did see other posts of those who plugged into itunes, and it didn't recognize their iphone, but they DID have suggestions on how to deal with the problem... while I don't have "the" solution, I wanted you to know I did see an answer out there - just skimmed past it as I was searching for mine... sorry I don't remember good luck!

    How can i fix this

    hi amyerf!
    It persists to stay in the task manager...
    if itunes.exe is persisting in Task Manager, we should try the following two possibilities first.
    if you have Norton Internet Security, try:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302775
    ... but if the problem persists (or you don't have NIS), see:

    keep us posted.

  • ITunes will not run. Several error codes. Please help

    A couple months ago I tried updating iTunes and received the error "Could not open key:
    UNKNOWN\Components\69413F169B198734FA40BC8B73511DB0\108B43C0CEA676640B35306AE7D2 4051.
    Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel." (take note my key is different than the one above thats just for an example.) So I read and read and finally figured out that my problem came down to permissions for that key. I changed the permissions and voila it installed properly! But now I just tried updating again because I want to get iOS5 on my iPhone4. I received the same error again, "Could not open key..." so I thought heck this is an easy fix and I changed the permissions again and this time it did not work. So then I uninstalled Quicktime, iTunes, and all other Apple software from my computer (which is running Windows 7 btw). I tried to reinstall iTunes and then it went through the install and finally comes to a screen that says "iTunes has successfully been installed on your computer." So I closed that window, restarted my computer, clicked on the iTunes icon and I get a completely different error now. This error is a two-part pop up. The first error window that pops up says:
    "The procedure entry point kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll."
    I click OK.
    Then I get:
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)"
    I've tried reinstalling it again and I get the same error. I tried stuff from this thread ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2262389?start=0&tstart=0 ) and it doesnt seem to be working. Can someone please help me work through this. I would appreciate it very much, and please explain everything in computer-illiterate terms as I'm not the greatest with computers these days.
    Thank you,
    Max

    OK, so iTunes opens OK in another account so it is a user specific problem.
    Just to be absolutely clear, have you carried out the all the user specific steps:
    Remobe plugins
    Remove preference files
    Recreate Library
    Check for Content files with issues.
    One of those steps usually solves user specific issues.
    Something else that you could try is to create a new iTunes library elsewhere on your disk.
    Hold down the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose or create a library. Select "Create" and create a new library somewhere way from the your music folder eg in Documents - so it is completely separate from your existing iTunes.
    Does iTunes Open like this?
    If so go do Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced and Un-check "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library". This is to stop iTunes copying your music files when you add to you new library.
    Now try adding music from your original iTunes Music folder in stages as in the "Content files with issues" section.
    This approach has worked for someone else although they did not say if they stuck with their test library or if they ever found the problem with the original one.
