Getting the message- Quicktime failed to initialize- (error- 2096).....
I can't get into iTunes ever since this 7.6 version came out. I've downloaded it 8 or 9 times, and I have even tried downloading Quicktime separately, but I get the same message every time!! Help me! The full message is:
Quicktime failed to initialize (error- 2096)
Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes.
So annoying!!!QuickTime failed to initialize-Error#-2096 QuickTime is required to run itunes.
Let's try to get one set of possibilities off the table.
Head into the Compatibility tab of the Properties for your iTunes.exe as per the following document:
iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode
... however, when you're in there, make sure that none of the boxes are checked (not just the compatibility mode box).
If iTunes still isn't launching, head into the Compatibility tab of the Properties of your QuickTimePlayer.exe, as per the following document:
Error -2096 message when opening QuickTime for Windows in Compatibility Mode
... again, make sure that none of the boxes in there are checked (not just the compatibility mode box).

Install itunes with error -2096
When I finish installing setup.exe and open itunes, there is a line that: Quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096).QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes.
I have reinstalled many times, but it still appears that line.
So how can I install iTunes?When I finish installing setup.exe and open itunes, there is a line that: Quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096).QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes.
let's try getting the following possibilities off the table.
First, make sure you're not running QuickTime in any sort of compatibility mode, as per the following document:

i try to open itunes and it wont open says quicktime is needed and to re install i tunes
With a 2096, we first try to make sure that neither iTunes nor the QuickTime Player are running in compatibility mode.
Start with the following document:
[Error -2096 message when opening QuickTime for Windows in Compatibility Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875]
But if none of the boxes are checked in there, check on the iTunes compatibility mode tab:

(Also make sure that none of the boxes are checked in the iTunes compatibility mode tab, not just the Compatibility mode checkbox.) -

Quick time failed to initialise, error 2096
I upgraded to itunes 7.1 and now I cannot open itunes. Keep getting the error 2096 message. Tried to reinstall itunes with no luck,same error message.Pliz help.I am losing my cool.
Is your QuickTime working if you try to open it?
If you get a 2096 error, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875
Otherwise see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1489
If your QuickTime works normally let me know.
The 2096 error has often been associated with compatability mode problems.
Otherwise try a complete removal of all iTunes related programs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Then download and install the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Check that it works
Then try installing iTunes. -
I trying to download itunes on my laptop several times but I keep getting a Quick Time error -2096. How do I remove this error?
Do you see the problem if you turn off Compatibility Mode for QuickTime?
Right-click on the QuickTimePlayer application (located in C:\Program Files\QuickTime) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
In the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab
Deselect all checkboxes currently selected in the Compatibility tab.
Click Apply.
Close the Properties window.

I installed itunes and quick time but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096). I have removed both itunes and quicktime from my computer and re-installed them and I still get the same message. What do I do to get itunes to work?
That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

Error Message: Quicktime failed to initalize error (-2096)
I can't open ITUNES. I have reinstalled quicktime andn ITUNES twice.....no help. Error Message: Quicktime failed to initalize error (-2096) Any suggestions?
If I were to uninstall ITUNES, then download it new, would the music on my IPOD 30G, sync back to the new ITUNES???try this,,,,, this JUST worked for me, i had the same problem, error 2096. Go into your PROGRAM FILES folder, open the ITUNES folder. Right click on the ITUNES.exe icon, click COMPATIBILITY, then -uncheck- the box that says "run this program in compatibility mode for.....". After that you should be good to go!

Can no longer open itunes Error:2096
Ok-using itunes for windows for years. No problem.
I tried to up date to the latest itunes version
I am getting the message:
Error:2096
Quicktime is reguired to run itunes. Please uninstall and then reinstall itunes.
I have done this several times.
I have updated Windows
I have installed, uninstalled Quicktime
I have checked compatibility
I have contacted Apple support; they sent me here.
I had this problem about 2 months ago and Apple walked me through it. Now they cant find me case file and I can't remember what I did to fix and connect to itunes and my ipods and ipad...
Any suggestions?SO iTunes thinks you don't have Quicktime although you do have it.
This can be caused by a problem with the environmental variable path, although I don't normally associate this with the 2096 error.
There is normally an entry for Quicktime right at the end of PATH, and iTunes uses it.
However if any of the folders in path variable before Quicktime do not exist or cannot be reached, iTunes gives up and assumes you don't have Quicktime.
If you are and experience computer user this may be enough for you to investigate the problem.
If not I can give details.
AS a start you can look at the contents of the path variable by opening the cmd window. (type cmd into your run box).
Then copy&paste the following line into the cmd window and press return
echo %path%
This will display the contents of the PATH variable.
If you need detailed help post back. -
Error -2096 on Mac when trying to connect to iTunes Store
For at least two months, my computer has not been able to log in to the apple store. I keep getting the message "error (-2096)". I have talked to many apple store representatives who have asked me to delete and re-download iTunes, which has not helped. Some have given me the tutorial for Windows, and that obviously did not help either. I think I could be something to do with my ISP address, but I have no idea how to go about fixing that. The main iTunes store page shows up with the available music, etc. but I just can't log in or buy anything. So frustrating! anyone who knows how to go about fixing this, please help! Thanks.
If you can't remember your answers you'll have to reset them. See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551.

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. -

doublechecking something before proceeding ... are any boxes ticked in the Compatibility tab for your QuickTime?
(i've seen that message produced when some of the Display Settings boxes in there are ticked, not just the compatibility mode one.)
