Error Message 3 Quick Time failed to install

I have tried every way I know possible to download iTunes. I have loaded Quicktime stand alone, I have loaded iTunes to my hard drive and tried to start the install from there and not the internet. I have turned off all firewalls and virus/spyware software. I continue to get Error Message 3, Quick Time failed to install. I am very frustrated with this problem as well as the run around I'm getting from Apple. I can't even update my iPod. I thought my iPod purchase was going to be great. But after the short battery life issue and now the software issue. I am starting to re-think my purchase. Does anyone have a solution to the software problem that works??? Apple even tried to blame the problem on my computer. I see from all the people that have this problem in this forum it is not my computer. Please help if you can...Thanks, M

Installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"

installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"
Is this because I need to deactivate cs5 on one of the computers?
CS5 is on 2 old computers. I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
What do I need to do?

I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
Forget that part. The apps won't work. Adobe apps must be installed properly. That may well explain your issues with CS6, too. Generalyl, though, there is no need to uninstall older versions...

In chat everytime I recieve a message I get an error message saying Quick Time crashed.

I play on a websit called FUBAR.com. I have a private chat box and anytime I receive a message, I get an error message bar at the top of my screen that reads "The Quick Time Plug-In has Crashed" and to the right are 2 options to RELOAD the page or SUBMIT crash report. I have done both with no solution. I have uninstalled FireFox and reinstalled it, disabled add ons, installed all plug in and windows updates. This only happens when using Mozilla FireFox it doesn't happen in Internet Explorer. I must have a solution or I won't want to use FireFox until there is a fix. What do I do? Please

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

Using Firefox 7.0.1 & am trying to clear cache, because Firefox crashes during online college courses (Firefox 3.0 or higher is a supported school browser), and I keep getting an error message about 'Quick Time.' Using pc - Windows 7 Home 64 bit.

As soon as I open up Firefox - it crashes on me. It takes me at least two or three attempts. I downloaded Firefox from the Firefox website and also use it for Facebook. I am wondering if it is because I also alternate between using IE as well? While attempting to open my school e-text, a message popped up that if experiencing problems opening my e-text - then I should clear cache and cookies which I cannot do - because of the "Quick Time error message."

As you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option. In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
Any other suggestions?

Getting an error message with Quick Time

I'm trying to open a file (video) and I get an error message, 2048. It's saying it's not a file that Quick Time understands. I downloaded the MPEG 2 playback component thinking that would fix the problem but nope. I'd appreciate any help here. Thank you.

Did you figure out what you did? I have the same problem.

Step 1; File Share DVD; Sharing screen appears, click "share"; view background taski for up 2 1-hour; error message appears "Quick time error 0"

I still don't understand why I get this error message; quicktime error 0

check, latest Nvidia GeFroce9500GT driver installed, also tried previous version, no effect
After installing recent nvidia drivers you should then uninstall the nvidia stereoscopic 3D driver from Control Panel> Uninstall a Program. This has a known conflict with APE.

Error message -3001 when I try to install updates

When I try to install updates, I get error message: update Quick Time can't be saved. A network error has occured. Cannot open file -3001. Make sure you can connect to the internet, then try again.
My IMac has also been very slow to start up. The white screen stays on for several seconds before it finally turns on.

Hi Sharon,
/*Component Manager & component errors*/
validInstancesExist = -3001 This component has open connections.
Not much help, but let's work on the slow startup first.

i have that quicktime problem too

When I click on itunes, I get error saying Quick time failed to initialize, no matter how many times I uninstall and start over. What am I doing wrong?

My itunes account wouldn't open, so I had to uninstall and re-install. I've done this 3 times with an error popping up everytime that "Quick time failed to initialize". The message then suggests I uninstall itunes and reinstall. If I click on Quicktime, independently, it opens right up with no problem. What can I do?

I am unable to download iTunes on my second Windows 8 computer (64 bit). I got it fine on my first one and have used it quite a bit. After downloading the program and installing it on the second computer, I keep getting this error message: "Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start." This happens when when my IPhone 5c is connected via Wi-Fi and I have clicked on "Trust This Computer." (I have tried to install several times-- It gets hung up when it reaches"Starting Services.")

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I cant open itunes cause quick time failed to initialize (error - 2096)

i cant open itunes cause quick time failed to initialize (error - 2096)

hmmmm.
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.)

Getting Quick Time failed to initialize (error - 2096)

problems with itunes, again & again & get the same message " Quick Time failed to initialize error 2096.

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):
