How to Fix Itunes not working and Quicktime uninstall errors!

1. To get Itunes to work, Quicktime must work too!
2. If quicktime won't work, you may have to uninstall it!
3. Start/Run msconfig > startup >uncheck quicktime > reboot
4. Control Panel > add/remove programs >quicktime
5. If quicktime won't uninstall:
6. Start/Run Windows Explorer (win & e keys)
7. Delete c:\quicktime and/or quicktime(2) folders.
8. Go to http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=quicktime
and select quicktime 4.0
9. Install this version then uninstall it. This will clean up the files of other quicktime versions.
10. install lastest quickime

By the way, I've checked the sound on System Preferences for the internal speakers and all systems seem to be set appropriately. I've tried putting headphones on and sound doesn't work through them either.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. We don't even know what exactly you are trying to install.

ITunes not working. Quicktime not deleting-all happend after computer virus

please help. my iTunes has been down for months. ever since my computer was attacked by a virus, it doesn't work. some other programs such as my photo program doesn't work either. what should i do? ive tried everything!!!

Have you tried this:
Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime
(Compiled from the collective wisdom of toonz and Da Gopha)
If you want to guarantee a successful upgrade and be proactive about minimizing potential install issues, do the following:
1. Completely Backup your music and iTunes library files.
2. Virus check / spyware scan your machine.
3. Completely remove / uninstall the current version of iTunes and QuickTime from your system.....
3a. – Do a Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes
3b. - Then download and install the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
.....And make sure iTunes is really gone.
4. Delete the contents of your temp folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp
5. Reboot the PC
6. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
7. Start with the QuickTime standalone installer run from the PC (not directly from on-line)
8. Reboot the PC
9. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
10. First completely download, then run the latest iTunes Installer from your PC
11. Reboot the PC
The majority of problems out there on the discussion boards are caused by viruses or other system corruption — sometimes self-inflicted by the user (i.e. - people who turn off necessary Windows services) — or out of date drivers.

ITunes not working and new downloads not happening

Hello,
A few weeks ago, I performed system upgrade which included the new iTunes, Quicktime, and Security update. Afterwards, iTunes quit working; I got a message saying "could not open application because it does not exist" (maybe not exactly what it said). I tried removing iTunes, removing iTunes helper, restarting....here is where further problems started, because now my computer won't restart, shut down, or turn off unless I do it by holding down the power button. So I held down the power button to restart and now I can't open or empty the trash, the "about this mac" screen won't open, system preferences won't open, no downloads whatsoever will run or attach, and of course iTunes still won't work.
My music folder is still there with all my music, so I feel ok there / I'm just looking for any helpful advice on anything i can do...or if I should just go see a pro.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

"Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
that one is typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

Action taken:
1.Tried to re-install original software from disk but get error itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.
2. QuickTime also failed to initiate with error 2095 message make sure QTime properly installed.

4. Installed stand alone Qtime which seems ok
5. Downloaded stand alone itunes but could not run error message: errors encountered whilst performing the operation.

I am at a loss. I am not computer literate and would really appreciate help. Please note I also disabled virus software whist trying to install.

ITunes not working and not installing.

So at first i was just trying to update my iTunes but after many failed attempts i consulted the support page and went through the troubleshooting process and none of them worked so then i uninstalled iTunes from my computer but it will not let me reinstall it. any ideas as to why this happening?

Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. verify that you have sufficient priviliges to start system services. then it gives the options of abort retry or ignore; when i hit retry or ignore it just goes back to the same original message
Many thanks.

iTunes has been running VERY slowly on our computer and we have been unable to load the latest update.
I decided to uninstall iTunes - but I was unable to completely uninstall it and I have not been able to successfully run the Microsoft Uninstaller utility. In either event, a dialog box with the following message appears:

I have installed safari but it is not working and showing the error message

i have downloaded a latest version of safari and as i install it it is saying something like this
"Your copy of safari is missing important software resources. Please reinstall safari"
and even if i install it it says the same on opening safari after reinstalling i hate slow speed and i want it please help me ie8 is very bad to use

That sounds like your Apple Application Support might be damaged. (Safari needs a properly functioning Apple Application Support in place in order to work correctly.)
Perhaps try uninstalling both Safari and Apple Application Support, and then reinstalling Safari (which should also reinstall Apple Application Support). Does safari now launch without the error message?

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

How to fix itunes error 7 (Windows error5)?

downloaded and used itunes, on laptop(Acer), but when I tried to reopen I get error message, Not installed properly. Reinstall itunes. Error 7(Windows error5). Why does it work fine, but then not work, and display this error message days later?

Hi surferman!
It sounds like you will need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes to fully resolve this issue. iTunes requires that the components of iTunes be uninstalled in a specific order from the control panel, and that specific order can be found in this article about uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
It is important to note that:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
These steps may take a significant amount of time to complete, depending on your system.
If you run into any issues while attempting to reinstall iTunes, you may want to reference this article as well:
