How to install iTunes error-2096???????

I got an Ipod Nano this Christmas so I had to update my itunes in order to be able to sync music to it. I have downloaded the newest version multiple times and it doesn't work. When I try to open it, it tells me Quicktime failed to initialize (error-2096) Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes. I installed Windows Install clean up to remove previous iTunes software but still haven't been able to open it. As I type this, I am downloading iTunes again. I am going crazy, I need my music!!!!! Please HELP!!!

You need to make sure both iTunes and QuickTime are NOT running in compatability mode...

  • How to install itune under Windows XP 64-bit professional with SP2?

    I have iPhone 3GS for over a year and I have set it up at my work computer (Windows XP professional) with latest iTune and it work great. Recently our IT has upgraded our system and all of our new machines has Windows XP 64-bit OS.
    I can't figure out how to install iTune under Windows XP 64-bit, to synch with my e-mail, contact and calendars any more?
    Can any one help?

    New machines? With XP 64-bit? Your IT department is being rather foolish, in my opinion, deploying new installations of XP 64 since Microsoft discontinued mainstream support for it (more than two years ago) and it's never really been satisfactory.
    Anyway, there is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and almost certainly never will be. If you search the iTunes for Windows forums for "XP 64" you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete. Connecting to iPhones is one of the most problematic issues.
    Regards.

    How to install iTunes on Win XP 64 Pro?

    iTunes is not supported on 64-bit XP. But if you search these forums for something like "XP 64", you'll find a number of threads discussing workarounds that have "forced" iTunes on the 64-bit version of XP, albeit with varying levels of success. For starters, try this thread:

    Hi!! I finally found a solution
    I´m Sure this one will work for everyone
    -First you have to uninstall all Apple Software using Control Panel
    -Download Unlocker Software from softsonic heres the link http://tinyurl.com/3e8gj2h
    or google it
    -Install Unlocker
    -Go to Start and type this in search: %programdata% 
    -ProgramData window will open, so find apple folders
    -Right click in each apple folder and find Unlocker in the options
    -Choose Delete each apple folders (with unlocker program)
    -Go to My PC, C Local Disk and find Program Files
    -Look for Apple folders and Delete them (with Unlocker)
    -Find a Folder (in Program Files) called Common Files
    -Delete all Apple Folders (in common files) with Unlocker
    - Empty your trash can (thats what i did)
    -Reboot
    -Install Itunes
    Note: You can Reboot or use Safe Mode to use Unlocker if it doesnt work.
    ....and that's All

  • Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions did not work

    Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions didn't work.  Spent most of today installing and uninstalling itunes according to their instructions.  They will charge me again if I call again.

    When I run the iTunes64setup.exe it says: "The thingy is not a valid win32 application."
    That generally indicates that the installer has been getting damaged on the download.
    What web browser have you been using for downloading the iTunes64Setup.exe? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

  • Installing iTunes error message: how to resolve?

    I have been running iTunes & Quicktime (QT) successfully (unknown versions) until trying to upgrade to iTunes v8.0.2 today. I have confirmed that QT 7.2 Player has installed and is running OK, but no version of iTunes will now install despite following all the uninstall/reinstall procedures posted here and by Apple.
    The iTunes installation is wound back after the following error message appears when writing the system registry values: 'Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.m4a\OpenWith List'. I have administrator rights to Windows and can edit the key but don't know what value to modify.
    Could someone please help?

    Are you using the same account as you used when you first installed iTunes?
    If you have another admin account, it might be worth trying that.
    These odd registry permission problems can sometimes be fixed by repairing the registry permissions using the method in this article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx
    If you decide to have a go with it, the tool takes quite a long time to run so be patient with it.
    This sort of problem used to crop up quite a lot and the method was very useful then, but the problem seems to have become less common lately.

  • Can no longer open itunes Error:2096

    Ok-using itunes for windows for years. No problem.
    I tried to up date to the latest itunes version
    I am getting the message:
    Error:2096
    Quicktime is reguired to run itunes. Please uninstall and then reinstall itunes.
    I have done this several times.
    I have updated Windows
    I have installed, uninstalled Quicktime
    I have checked compatibility
    I have contacted Apple support; they sent me here.
    I had this problem about 2 months ago and Apple walked me through it. Now they cant find me case file and I can't remember what I did to fix and connect to itunes and my ipods and ipad...
    Any suggestions?

    SO iTunes thinks you don't have Quicktime although you do have it.
    This can be caused by a problem with the environmental variable path, although I don't normally associate this with the 2096 error.
    There is normally an entry for Quicktime right at the end of PATH, and iTunes uses it.
    However if any of the folders in path variable before Quicktime do not exist or cannot be reached, iTunes gives up and assumes you don't have Quicktime.
    If you are and experience computer user this may be enough for you to investigate the problem.
    If not I can give details.
    AS a start you can look at the contents of the path variable by opening the cmd window. (type cmd into your run box).
    Then copy&paste the following line into the cmd window and press return
    echo %path%
    This will display the contents of the PATH variable.
    If you need detailed help post back.

  • How to install iTunes 11.4 back?

    A few days ago I made the foolish mistake of "upgrading" (if you can say that) to iTunes 12 on my MacBook Pro (with OS X 10.8.5) and now I am in the biggest remorse... iTunes 12 is horrible, lacks of sidebar and make sync with iPhone / iPad a real nightmare. I tried to go back using my Time Machine backup but Apple has guarded their backs protecting the app from being replaces... so I tried another way: first I deleted that c.rap with AppZapper and then I reinstalled a fresh copy of iTunes 11.4 from a dmg installer (unfortunately all iTunes 11 installers were removed from the website) but I cannot get it working When I open iTunes an error message pops up warning that a system file is missing and iTunes should be reinstaled. I suspect that the "upgrading" has changed some system files besides the app itself and I am unable to go back... any help would be appreciated.
    As all Apple updates since iOS 7, iTunes 12 is a mess. First iOS 7 and now iOS 8 screwed up all iDevices (short battery life, slow performance, and of course a childish awful design that hurt my eyes), then Mavericks (that turned my 16-Gb 512-SSD Core i7 Macbook pro into something similar to a cheap PC with Windows Vista!), and for the comments I've read on some forums OS X Yosemite is a handfull of trouble too. Fool of me installing iTunes 12... hope resolving how to roll back to iTunes 11.4

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
              File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • Unable to install iTunes - error message

    I keep trying to install iTunes with the same error all the time.
    "error writing to C:/program files/itunes/itunes.resources/pt.1proj/ipodsetup.nib/objects.xib"
    I have deleted the Temp files folder, uninstalled both iTunes and QuickTime and restarted. I have tried running Chkdsk and it keeps telling me "it can't complete the error check". I just bought a new iPhone...HOW ELSE AM I GOING TO GET THIS PROGRAM INSTALLED AND RUNNING??? So irritated.

    +"error writing to C:/program files/itunes/itunes.resources/pt.1proj/ipodsetup.nib/objects.xib"+
    That is often caused by a corrupt file.
    Try running a disk check:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315265
    If that finds and fixes errors, try insatlling itunes.
    If not try renaming the folder:
    C:/program files/itunes/itunes.resources/pt.1proj/ipodsetup.nib
    This will prevent the installer seeing the problem file.
