How to upgrade QuickTime to access iTunes

I just downloaded latest OS onto my Mac and now cannot open iTunes. When I try and open itunes, it says: 'iTunes requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later'. When I try and download QuickTime, I am told it is part of my OS package. What can I do?

How come I can't access itunes when I could yesterday?

How come I can't access itunes when i could yesterday? When I hooked up my iphone to sync it asked me to reset phone to factory settings! I don't think so! Then when I tried to download update it won't do it.

On my iPod touch I don't have a spotlight search icon or option available. Also under my settings and general there is no "restriction" options or settings. I reset the iPod several times and that doesn't work.
The thing is the music that is on my iPod is not all in my iTunes library so I can never sync automatically. Also if i restore to factory settings then it will erase what i have on my iPod and not in my library. I always manually add songs. When I plug in my iPod and i go under Summary...the only other tabs are music, tv shows, photos and info. There is no Apps tab. When i plug in my iPhone i do get the apps tab.
I got my iTouch awhile ago....is it possible that this is why i can't get apps?? I got the iTouch back in 2008.
Ughhh this is so frustrating. I just want to get this one app on my iPod Touch. Please help!!

How to upgrade individual songs to iTunes Plus?

How can I upgrade individual songs to Plus? I only see how to upgrade my entire library.

I agree on wanting the option to upgrade individual songs.
My iTunes Plus has over 800 songs for a whopping $247!!! Not going to happen ANYTIME soon to drop that much at once to upgrade the entire library.
I applaud Apple for getting this done and offering it to us, but next time I recommend testing it OUTSIDE corporate offices.
Hopefully a solution will come through soon.

How to disable Quicktime but keep iTunes usable

Hi, thanks to anyone for looking at this...maybe you can help. I spend a lot of time on the US Patent and Trademark Office website, and to view patents filed online you need a special TIFF viewer, which I have. Quicktime, once installed, overrides it as the TIFF viewer which I hate because it gives no print options or sizing, save, zoom, etc. as my other TIFF viewer does.
I've tried opening the Quicktime preferences menu and basically disabling all streaming or web options, and then disabled it from the Internet Explorer add-ons menu and enabling my other TIFF viewer, but as long as Quicktime is installed I cannot view the TIFF files except with Quicktime.
Hope someone can help...I miss using iTunes! (won't work without QT).

In QT settings have you tryed unchecking the TIFF preferences listed in File Types and in Browser Mime Settings? Also try right clicking on a TIFF that is on the computer, go to properties, where it shows Opens with: click on the change button and choose the media program that you want to handle the file.

After having upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard, the following error message pops when I try to access iTunes: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes". I cannot now access iTunes. How can I resolve

After having upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard, the following error message pops when I try to access iTunes: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes". So, now after the upgrade, I cannot access iTunes. How do I resolve this??
Thanks

zepel has it, but perhaps some more detail will help.
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!

Cannot access iTunes - HELP

With the upgrade I cannot access iTunes due to 'unexpected error'.
It say it's the visualiser plug-in. But I cannot uninstall Quicktime (which is what I presume it the cause) as the installer is not compatible with this OS (apparently) - it won't let me get past the drive selection to chose uninstall.
I have also already tried reinstalling iTunes and Quicktime (which I can't do).
Any suggestions how to fix this?

I had the same problem. Tracked mine down to Foxy Music Plug In that i had installed through Firefox. Went to ~\Library\itunes\plugins and deleted the plug in, rebooted and its all good now.
Hope this helps

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
are you PC or Mac?

An upgrade didn't load correctly. Now I can't access itunes at home. The contact us section never allows me to ask my question... how can I uninstall? reinstall? get this back to working?

If an update doesn't load properly and I can no longer access itunes on my computer, what do I do to fix this?
Why isn't this situation on apple's frequently addressed questions sections?

Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.

@ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
@ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!)
@ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack. i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot.
Thanks fo rall yor help!

Hi,
Try mydigitallife forums. There are threads about modding BIOSes and accessing the advanced option. It's not recommended by HP so you have to go somewhere else as the modding will cancel your warranty if something goes wrong.

Same issue. I emailed apple and they had me call apple. Not really any help. Did all the troubleshooting listed and to have further help diagnosing problems it isn't free. I explained to the rep that I have seen others having same issues - he didn't know anything about. This is first time I have had problems. I can't even purchase song on my PC but can on my iphone. I just would like to be able to access my account. Afraid to sign out of itunes in case I can't even get to my library etc.
