Error opening iTunes, says I don't have quicktime

I installed the itunes update yesterday, and when I tried to open it, it said I didn't have the right quick time update. I then separately installed the new quicktime update, and it still said it wasn't right. Today I deleted all my itunes files and folders and re installed it. And still it is coming up with an error message, any help?
Also, my roomate downloaded the new itunes, and her computer won't even boot up anymore.

when I go to add/remove programs, quicktime isn't there, where can I find it, other than there?
let's try this.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the reinstall.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
(re your roommate's booting issue. does she have a Windows 2000 PC? if so, does she have one of the early Adaptec versions of Easy CD Creator 4 installed on it?)

  • I cleaned my computer lately and it won't let me open iTunes, saying I don't have the correct permissions, so I backed my iTunes files up and deleted it. Now when I try to install the free download it says 'The installer encountered an error...

    The installer for iTunes free download says when installing "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail." I have been to the help page and run Disk Utility (not sure if that's worked or not) and it still comes up with this. Please help me get iTunes back up and running. Thanks

    Go to HD>Library>Receipts - remove the iTunesX.pkg receipt. Drag the iTunes app to the trash.
    Repair permissions with Disk Utility - reboot - then try to run the installer.

  • My iTunes won't open. Says I don't have permission. Why is my computer doing this and how can I fix it so I can access my iTunes?

    And is there someone who can help me resolve this problem? I've uninstalled iTunes but even when I put it back on, it says the same thing over and over again.

    I'm having the same problem.  iTunes won't open and says I don't have permission.  What do I do now?

    If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5.  It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

  • The New Itunes says I don't have permission to make changes. All I want to do is add stuff to my Itunes. What can I do?

    The new Itunes says I don't have permission to make changes when all I want to do is add files to my itunes library.
    What can I do?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    I can't download anymore TV from itunes, says i don't have enough icloud storage. My storage says i have 5GB to use and 4.6GB are still free

    The message shouldn't have anything to do with iCloud storage. You need the free space on the iPad itself, not in iCloud. You have to free up space on the iPad by deleting content. You can delete any movies, videos, apps, or whatever you want to delete in Settings>General>Usage>Storage.

  • ITunes Says I Don't Have Privilages?

    I'm trying to import some albums from my desktop, and so I tried the drag and drop method. The first album presented an error message saying I didn't have the correct privilages to write to the music folder. This is untrue, and I even double checked in the Get Info pane for the Music folder, and I am correct, I have both read and write privilages. So I tried it by going to File > Add to Library and got the same issue. So I try another album. iTunes showed a progress bar importing them but then they don't appear in iTunes. Not in Recently Added, not in Library, but strangely, it is located, correctely, in the Music > iTunes > iTunes Music folder.
    I'm beyond confused and would really appreciate any help. Apple's normal support articles don't offer me any help.

    It's possible that the library file is damaged and that you'll need to rebuild it. You can find instructions here:
    How to recreate your iTunes Library
    Don't empty the Trash (or just drag the iTunes library folder to the Desktop or some other place) until you know that the library has rebuilt successfully.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes says I don't have the required software to communicate with an ipod

    Every time I start iTunes I get the following error message:
    The software required for this iPod [nano 7, firmware version 1.0.3] is not installed correctly.
    Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software.
    I have reinstalled iTunes about ten times, with elevated privileges, both in normal mode and safe mode, and under the administrator account.  Itunes says it was successfully installed, but it obviously wasn't since I still get the same error message after each installation.  I also tried repairing iTunes and rolling back iTunes but all with no success.  I have also tried uninstalling all apple related programs and services from my computer (bonjour, icloud, itunes, quicktime, AppleMobileDevice service, iPod folder from the programs folder, the apple directory in the temp folder).  I have also used 7-zip to open the package and tried to only run the iTunes installer, which didn't work any better.  I have checked to make sure the AppleMobileDevice service is running and it is set to automatically start with windows (bonjour service is also configured to start automatically).  And yes I have verified that they are both running.  I have also reset my ipod settings, as well as starting iTunes while holding control+ shift.  Windows recognizes that my ipod is attached and has installed the drivers successfully.  I am running Windows 7 home premium, 64-bit and I am trying to install iTunes 12.0.1.    
    Any other ideas or suggestions?  

    Your options depend on which MacBook you have and the version of OS X installed.

  • DESPERATE! I can't open iTunes because I don't have apple application suuport?

    I have recently got I new laptop, and I wished to transfer all my itunes libraries to my new laptop from my old. I plugged in my iPhone 3GS into my new computer, having not previously downloaded the latest update for either iTunes (on my old laptop) or my iPhone, the new laptop did it instantly. Therefore, it never gave me the option of transferring my purchases, which is what I had planned on doing, so I lost all my music and apps. However, I had my photos and contacts etc, and my music and apps were still on my old laptop, so I set up home share, and now have my library on both laptops, but cannot get my apps there and cannot get my library from my new laptop to my iPhone. So, not sure of what to do, I plugged my iPhone back into my old computer, which had the older version of iTunes, unlike my new laptop. ITunes then told me that I had to uninstall it and then reinstall it because it was the older version. I misread this stupidly, and dowloaded the newer version, which annoyingly didn't even download properly. So, after re-reading the message that came up when I plugged in my iPhone, I looked up on the apple website how to uninstall and reinstall iTunes etc, and it told me I had to uninstall a number of programmes, inlcuding Apple Application support, I wasn't 100% sure why I had to do this, but i thought it would be best if i followed the instructions, and so I erased that from my old laptop, and tried reinstalling itunes. After several attempts, iTunes wasn't even downloading, but eventually it worked, however, upon opening the programme, I recieve a message telling my to uninstall itunes and reinstall it because there is no Apple Application Support, so i do this but to no avail, the same message appears. I have tried installing Quick Time because I read on a website that it would help, but this also had no effect, I really need to get my music and apps back onto my phone, but without iTunes I don't know how! Help!

  • ITunes says I don't have the x64 version when I do!

    I recently bought a 32gb iPod touch, it was working fine until I formatted and reinstalled Vista. Now when ever I try to connect and sync my touch, it says that I need the x64 version of iTunes to sync my iPod. I've even reinstalled it too. Any ideas on why it would be doing this?

    I assume you have downloaded the installer and saved it on your PC.
    Have you tried right clicking on the installer and choosing run as administrator?

  • Itunes says I don't have permission to use it

    Got that error this morning. I did a verify and repair of permissions and then it worked. But how did that happen? It only showed 5 songs and normally has about 20,000 or more. And also said I didn't have permission for itunes.
    Jason

    Repair permissions using Disk Utility.
    Using iTunes prefs - check to see that the path is correct so iTunes can 'see' you tunes.
    Also check to see with 'Get Info' that you have access privileges for the files via the FInder.
