Error: -3 Quicktime

Please can somebody help me. I have just got an ipod nano for xams and have just tried to install the software (ipod+itunes). itunes was working perfectly before and now each time i try and access it I get the message: 'Quicktime 6.5.2 is installed, itunes requires Quicktime version 7.0.3 or later'. I have just tried to upgrade itunes and right at the end of the upgrade it comes up with a message for Quick time saying 'error:-3'. Does anybosy have a clue what this means?

Hey, I've just had this happen to me today. My iTunes crashed, and Microsoft Error reporting directed me to a patch on the Apple website. I was reinstalling iTunes, and then at the end of the QuickTime installation, I get a "Error: -3". I think iTunes is installed ok, but QuickTime isn't. I can't remove it from the 'Add/Remove Programs', and it won't let me reinstall it. If you find an answer, can you let me know?

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

Error message: QuickTime couldn't parse it: -43

Hello,
I recently borrowed a friends video camera to record a few 3-minute clips. In order to import the clips from the camera into my computer, I had to use software called "ImageMixer 3 for Panasonic". It would not allow me to import directly into iMovie as I have been able to do with other video cameras.
In any case, the clips are now on my computer and I would like to import the clips into iMovie so that I can edit them and paste them together into one movie. When I try to import, I get the error message "QuickTime couldn't parse it".
Can anyone help me? I used to have software on a previous computer that allowed me to parse video clips out in smaller files. However, I no longer have that computer.
I am using a Mac Pro Dual 2.66 running on OS10.4.11. I have iMovie HD 6.0 .
My video clips are now in my "Movies" folder and are approximately 225MB in size and are MPEG files.
Thank you for your help!! :-}

I searched in Google for "QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048" and found this thread.
I was trying to improt a YouTube video into iMovie that I had downloaded via the activity monitor in Safari. I was puzzled as to why I couldn't import a YouTube file today when it had worked yesterday.
I then realised that I had not amended the file extension on the download to .flv - hope that this helps someone.

QuickTime Error Message: "QuickTime Player quit unexpectedly"

Error Message: "QuickTime Player quit unexpectedly"
From the error report (sent to Apple):
          QuickTime 10.2 (603.6)
          Operation: Launch
          Application Specific Information: [565] stack overflow
Hardware and software configurations:
          MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display
           Mac OS X 10.8.2
Affects ALL .mp4 files (double-click and attempting to open file from within QuickTime)
Occurs when attempting to launch QuickTime by double-clicking an .mp4 file, or attempting to open an .mp4 file from the QuickTime menu. Attempting to open ANY .mp4 file results with this error message.
QuickTime is the default application for all .mp4 files. Reseting this option via the Finder "Get Info" had no effect. Changing the option to another video player (e.g., MPEG Streamclip) allowed the .mp4 files to play. Returning to QuickTime as the default player resulted in same error message (i.e., "QuickTime Player quit unexpectedly").
The video files (.mp4) are not the problem; ALL of the files open within iTunes, MPEG Streamclip, and other video players. The problem appears to be limited to QuickTime or something that is interfering with QuickTime.
Note that no external drives or other peripherals are connected to the computer when this error occurs, except for a Wi-Fi connection via an Apple Time Capsule (disconnecting the Wi-Fi did not resolve the problem; same error message occurred when attempting to open an .mp4 file).
No 3rd party QuickTime plug-ins have been installed.
QuickTime was working fine and playing ALL videos until the last week. No discernible usage pattern is evident for diagnosing the reason for the error message.
Note the exact same problem is occurring on two separate MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display systems, both running Mac OS X 10.8.2
Mac OS X 10.8.2 software is up-to-date.
Rebooting the system did not rectify the problem.
Two separate computers, both exhibiting the same problem with different .mpg4 files.
Any ideas?
The consideration of a reply is appreciated.

i've tried http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93865 and the same problem still persists
anyone knows what to do?

I have one solution for you.. I just also bought my Ipod VIdeo 60 GB 3 days ago and having problem with Quicktime 7.0.3.
Everytime I click on Itunes Icon on my desktop, it says you have older version of Quicktime 7.0.2, Itunes need 7.0.3 or later to be able to play Itunes, Please reinstall Itunes....I did reintalling adn uninstalling millions of times.. still it was the same problem.
Now what I recommend is to uninstall all Quicktime version and Itunes in your computer. Delete everytime you have... shutdown wait for couple of minutes and then go to the above site address I provided. Only download Quicktime alone. Do not download qiucktime and itunes together.. It is no good. And do not go to Apple site to download because it will download together.. That's not what we want. Download Quicktime 7.0.3 version for windows. After successful installation.. Only then Go to apple site and only download Itunes alone. This will work I guaranteed. Because mine is working now!!! Let me know the outcome.. Good luck!!

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!

When starting imovie I get an error missing quicktime components. To solve the problem I have upgraded to latest version but it didn't help. I want to either solve this problem or get a refund for the useless upgrade.

Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
iMovie does not, AFAIK, use QT 10.

.mov created with 7.1 on a mac gives a -2048 error in Quicktime 7.1on a PC

Anyone know why a .mov file created on a mac gives a -2048 error in Quicktime on a PC? Both computers have the latest version of Quicktime and OS.
Help?

When I "get info" on a Mac the format is DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720x480, Millions, DV, Stereo, 48Khz, 30fps. It's a 455MB file captured to a .mov using Sorenson Squeeze. I then copy it to a FAT32 hard drive and transfer it to a PC (WinXP). I've got Quicktime 7.1 installed on both machines. I thought it might be the FAT32 hard drive but it isn't because I burnt a data dvd from the Mac and then dragged the files onto the PC from the DVD. Same issue. -2048. I don't think I am creating problems in the transfer...
I've read some of the post and I tried renaming the file .wmv and the video plays fine in windows media, but the audio is crackling.
I can't import into any PC video program, Sorenson, Vegas they all give me unsupported file type errors.
Thanks for your help.

I get an error "iTunes + QuickTime" has an invalid signature while updating from 10.1 to 10.2.2

I get an error "iTunes QuickTime" has an invalid signature. The download has been removed. When trying to update from version 10.1 to 10.2.2. I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 OS. I have tried repairing all the Apple software on the laptop. What do I need to do to get this updated?

I have not had this problem before but the latest update to iTunes + Quicktime, offered today, puts me in the same situation.
The web is covered with reports of this issue over the years, always "iTunes + Quicktime has an invalid signature", but nothing I can see which is a good fix for the problem.
Tried chkdisk, install manually doesn't work, the installer just keeps trying.
Tried installing QT 7.6.4 independently from the Apple download page, that didn't help either.
If this is so prevalent, why isn't there more on the main Apple site about it?

Error messages: "itunesobjspl/jenetsvc.dll The specified module could not be found." And Error -2032 "Quicktime failed to initialize."

I initially got the Error -2032 message after downloading the newest version of itunes. I read a geek blog that said to uninstall Quicktime and I did that a bunch of times. I also uninstalled and reinstalled itunes repeatedly. None of this works. I noticed that the apple website said the requirements for the new quicktime/itunes download included an intel processor and I have a celeron processor, so I wondered if that was the problem, although everything has been running fine up until now, so I don't know. It also doesn't address the missing .dll file, but I may have accidentally deleted that because I went into the registry to try and unload some Quicktime files when I uninstalled Quicktime. I did this at the suggestion of the blog, but I may have screwed it up. Now I need to repair the missing .dll and still try to get itunes running

Hello everyone,
I have the same problem as mentioned above "Unable to load DLL 'elev.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) ", when trying to load the dll file into a window application. I developed a window application in VS2005 and want to import a dll file from another program into my project and use it. But when I try to call one of the function in the dll file, I got the error message "Unable to load dll 'elev.dll". I try all options that say it works to solve this problem, but somehow it doesn't work for me. I put the "elev.dll" file in the bin folder and use P/Invoke to import the dll file into my project. Can anyone help me out with this? thanks and really appreciated!
Here is how I import the dll:
[DllImport(@"D:\elev.dll")]
//[DllImport("emap.dll", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern void EMA_Init();
and in the code, I call the function above but failed to load the dll file
EMA_Init();

Rendering Error: CS6 Quicktime crash- error (-1610153464)

Hello,
My employer recently purchased Adobe Suite CS6. I mainly Use After Effects for my job. I have been getting the following error whenever I attempt to render into Quicktime format.:
"After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file "C:\Users\User1\Desktop\File_Name.mov". An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted. (-1610153464)"
I have searched for solutions to this online. Rebooted my machine after reinstalling the latest Quicktime; deleted queued renders; made sure to switch the compatibility for "AfterFX.exe" to Windows 7. I have also grabbed any recent updates.
One of our clients has asked for files to be delivered in Quicktime format. It would be nice to find a resolution for this issue soon. Thanks for any aguidance with this issue in advance.
I will be glad to provide any machine specs if necessary.

Don't worry, K-Lite did not cause this problem. Dave just likes to blindly blame K-Lite for every problem on earth. This is a QuickTime problem as obvious by the error itself and also by the fact that DaftlyPunkish is getting the same error on MacOS.
Try this
1) Uninstall QuickTime
2) Search the Windows ProgramData folders for left-over QT files such as quicktimepreferences.qtp and remove them.
3) Install QuickTime
4) Make sure that AE and QT are not blocked by your firewall. Test with your firewall completely disabled.

Error message: Quicktime version 7.1.3 is installed, iTunes requires v. 7.5

So yeah, I plugged in my iPhone into my new computer that I just built for the first time, and I got this error. iTunes was working fine 2 hours before this. I have Quicktime v. 7.5.5 installed, and just downloaded iTunes yesterday. I tried reinstalling, same message. What gives?

Try removing QUicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article:

Then download and install the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes (the second option):

Try posting in the iTunes for Windows area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the iTunes for Macintosh forum. Good luck.

ITunes shows error message, QuickTime doesn't respond! PLEASE HELP!

My iTunes doesn't open anymore, it shows that error message (iTunes needs to close. Send error report... etc). I tried uninstalling it, installing gain from the iPod CD, from the website, and nothing works. On Apple's support site it said I needed to uninstall QuickTime and repair iTunes, but my computer won't let me uninstall Quick Time, it doesn't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 100 times, I have restarted my computer too and nothing seems to work.
I don't use Norton, I use McAfee. I don't know what else to do, somebody please help me solve this problem, I have been trying to fix it for WEEKS!
Dell Inspiron Windows XP

IT WORKS!!!!!!
This is unblievable, but iTunes is working, and all I had to do was install it in a different folder! Now both QT and iTunes work fine, my library is intact and I can update my iPod!
The only weird thing is that all the files on the library that are on my iPod now have that exclamation point, meaning I have to look for them, but that's ok, cause they are still on my iPod even after updating!
Thank a lot Katrina! I won't annoy you anymore!
