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?

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):

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.)

Try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and delete the iTunes installer. Then try installing iTunes again

Quick Time failed to initialize (Error - 2096)

Can anyone help, Ive just upgraded to this and tried for literally hours and hours and more or less give up, anyone know whats the score with this??? Any help appreciated guys....

I had the same problem. It took me a while, but I finally fixed the problem. Here is what I did:
1) Remove old versions of iTunes, QuickTime, and iPod.
2) Restart computer
3) Load latest Window operating system. From SP2 to SP3 (Service Package)
4) Restart
5) Load iTunes and Quicktime latest version
6) Open Qicktime
7) Open iTunes (I got the same error message!)
8) The problem lies in the shortcut for iTunes. If you open the properties of the iTunes shortcut and the one for Quicktime. You'll notice that the iTunes shortcut is gray out in the Target area in the otherhand the Quicktime shortcut has the entire link to the program in the C:drive. I know it sounds kind of crazy, but this was the problem.
9) Delete iTunes shortcut
10) Open Window Explorer and travel to the iTunes.exc file in the C:drive
11) Create iTunes shortcut in that folder (right click on the file "Create shortcut")
12) Drag and drop shortcut to desktop
13) Open iTunes
Hopefully this will work.
Good luck

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

I strongly recommend that you install iTunes to the default C: paths. You can change the perferences to keep the actual music files on your D: partition.

I'M TRYING TO UPDATE TO IOS 6 BUT I KEEP GETTING ERROR MESSAGE sOFTWARE UPDATE fAILED: AN ERROR OCCURRED DOWNLOADING IOS 6

I Tried for three days to download iOS 6 and kept getting error 1403. I finally went to the apple store and they couldn't figure it out either.
I finally got it to download and all I did different from the other 100 times was I went into settings and on the Bluetooth setting I put NO. Not sure if that's what did it but that was the only thing different that I did.

We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

I am trying to install update 11.0.06 for my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but without success multiple times.Get error 1603 each time,

I am trying to install update 11.0.06 for my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but without success multiple times.Get error 1603 each time. I have tried disabling my antivirus software without success. I have looked for solutions to error 1603, and have tried what it suggests (empty temp files in Windows, etc.), also without success.There is nothing that mentions Window 8 or 8.1 operating system, though. Is this the issue? Please help.

Hi Dawn,
We might want to have a look at the install logs to determine the cause.
Please try the following basic steps :
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.
Regards,
Rave
