Help! I can't update itunes because I deleted quicktime then tried to reinstall quicktime but there are components that won't be uninstalled

Ok. So a while ago quicktime got deleted (but only partially) which won't allow me to reinstall it to fix it. The error with quicktime affected my itunes which I can no longer open. I tried to reinstall everything but I get an error because 1) the older version of bonjour cannot be removed and 2) an older version of quicktime cannot be removed which then says that itunes can not be installed without quick time. But I also cannot delete everything to reinstall. Because when I try to delete either Bonjour or quicktime I get this message: the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable!
I have performed a search on my hard drive to find all quicktime files to try to delete but it won't let me delete the last three files and gives me this message when I attempt to delete: Cannot delete file. Cannot read from the source file or disk. And the other two only allow me the option to open containing folder, copy or extract....
I also made changes on the registry according to someone else' instructions to see if that would solve the problem, restarted the computer but that didn't help either.
Nothing has allowed me to reinstall itunes back onto my computer and without itunes, I can not sync my iphone and get updated! I am using Windows XP by the way
This is driving me crazy!
Thanks for any help in advance,
Tiffany

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

    Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

    Requirements for iPhone 5:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later
    The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

    It's always a good idea to check the requirements before purchasing.
    The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way.  Hmmm....
    I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to.

  • Can't update itunes because of a missing msi file

    I can't update iTunes because of a missing msi file? Any suggestions on how to correct this?

    Yes it is looking for the iTunes64.msi file
    Many thanks.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I updated to mozilla firefox 18.0.2. the fox is gone, but there are lots of pop-ups and no way to disable them. i want to TALK to someone, please

    Last week i downloaded Filezilla to edit my web page. When i did so, the firefox page looked weird -- there was no fox. The page has a WhiteSmoke icon instead. So i updated to mozilla firefox 18.0.2. The fox is still gone, but there are lots of pop-ups and no way to disable them. i want to TALK to someone, please

    Sorry this is really your only support option. The live chat support option was closed down last year.
    Maybe attaching some screen shots will help us understand your problem. I am not sure I understand about ''the fox is gone'' & ''he page has a WhiteSmoke icon instead. ''

  • Can one update iTunes to 7.0.1 or is a reinstall needed?

    I have version 7.0.0.70 now and while I have no issues with it, I was curious as to whether it can be updated to 7.0.1 or would I have to uninstall it and download the full 7.0.1 and install that?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    I would do the update (simply download the latest iTunesSetup)
    7.0.1 fixed a sync problem I was having with my old (5G) 60.
    This version now lets me sync - and also updated the firmware on my ipod to 1.2.
    Run the setup (w/o removing 70) - when you get the message at the end to "run itunes when finished" - deselect it - reboot your pc - then run iTunes - before connecting your iPod - click "i agree" to new license info - open iTunes - then connect iPod (just the first time after the reboot)
    You should be fine.

  • How can I get itunes to play one album from start to finish, especially when there are different artists on it?

    How can I get itunes just to play albums from beginning to end? Often if an artist has a guest artist, or there are 'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately, so listening from beginning to end becomes not one click away, but a multitude of clicks away just to make a play list which returns the album to its original state. Why can't Apple do this as a default?

    If your music is sorted by "Albums", even a compilation is a single click.
    'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately,
    That happens when you sort your music by "Artist".

  • HELP, I  can't update iphone because it disconnects!

    I've tried several times to update my iphone on 3 different computers. Everything goes through until the last second, it stops and says it has been stopped because the iphone has been disconnected, when it was NOT disconnected. Can someone please help me? My computer(s) have been updated, all programs are up to date, so it has no security issues or anything like that. Thanks

    Does it backup and sync OK? Make sure you're connected directly to a USB2.0 port and not through a hub. Try several ports on your computer. It also might be an issue with your security software, i.e. antivirus, malware, firewall, etc. Try temporarily disabling those.

    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
