I can't get itunes to work because quicktime doesn't install properly

I just got an ipod nano, which, as the cd reads, needs the newest version of itunes. itunes, from the cd as well as downloaded from the internet, installs perfectly. Quicktime, however, does not.
When I try to install it in the itunes/quicktime combo, my error message reads "QuickTime installation failed: Error code : -3", and then "1628: Failed to complete installation."
When I download Quicktime on its own, it displays error message 1402, saying it can't access some registry keys, then -1603: Fatal error during installation. Comsult Windows installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information.
I'm just so confused, and all I want is to get to my itunes. I hate quicktime now more than ever, since it keeps me from itunes and I DONT EVER USE IT. HELP? ANYONE? PLEASE?

I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

Can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit

I can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit. It won't even download.

These are the Windows requirements according to the iTunes dpownload site http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/http://:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
xp 64 bit is not mentioned but it doesn't seem to be supported for the latest ITunes so it seems that you're out of luck.

Upgraded to IO6, seems like the amount of system memory to run is higher, this causes issues with some Apps. I can't get SIRI to work because the amount of free system memory is not enough. how can I tell what is eating the system memory?

Can't get iTunes to work with 2 User Accounts

I've tried to find my specific problem on previous threads but it seems that each situation is just a little different. I have two user accounts on my family shared Windows XP Home edition PC. Last week I installed my son's iPod/iTunes using the install disc. I changed the default to C:\documents and settings\user1\My Documents. Life was good. Then I got an iPod of my own. I followed the same install as above only changed the path to user2's account. I went to iTunes and everything was working just fine for user2. The next time user1 tried to access iTunes on his desktop under his Windows user account, he said it just kept searching. (Windows error message with flashlight) He decided to pop the install disc in and see what happens. (yikes!) He took all of the defaults and left both users with nothing working. Infact at that point iTunes was still on the user desktops but only pages and pages of HTML code would display if you tried to launch iTunes. I deleted all traces of itunes and iPod I could locate and went through the same reinstall process as before. I was able to locate user 2's libary and everything worked fine. (That's mine) Poor user1,(my son) we can't get anything installed to his user. The install disk recognizes only my installation and wants to remove everything first. I;ve done that a few times and still can only get user 2 working but not both.

New iPod Touch, Can't get iTunes to work, extra headaches

Hello,
This is my first day in the Apple world: I caved and thought it would be good to get a new mp3/video player after my last one died. I ended up getting a 4th Gen Black iPod Touch - not sure if the color matters, but why not?
Anyway, my second problem (first being the weird packaging, of tape through plastic then stuck on) started with iTunes: the thing just would NOT download. Every time I tried, the website kept saying "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to completecould not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." That's just great: I can't get any music or video ONTO my iTouch without iTunes...right?
After browsing around I found an older version of iTunes that seemed to work. Yay! But not really. Nobody ever mentioned that .flac and .avi files can't be imported into iTunes at all...so I had to go hunting online for third party converters. This took care of THAT problem...
However, now that conversion is up, the older version of iTunes won't pick up my iPod Touch and Sync it. There is actually a "Sync iPod" button under "File" tab, but it's grayed out and I can't use it.
Not entirely sure if this is why, but according to a few people, when a new iTunes comes out, the older one stops functioning as fully as it originally did, forcing people to upgrade their iTunes in order to make it work like normal.
I tried to find a third party program to pick up my iPod Touch so I could upload files, but no luck. I feel like an idiot for not knowing how to turn source code into a program, and the binary installers I did find were user-hostile (ie. Right clicking to bring up a menu actually plays the movie and there's no stop button, you have to end task from the task manager). Windows Explorer only shows one folder in my iPod Touch, which is empty and four letters long, which gives no clue as to what it is.
So here's my big question: now that I finally am fully ready to upload my files to my iPod Touch, I can't. Why?
Is it my version of iTunes? Why can't I download iTunes' newest version? Why does updating from the older version yield the same result (though I'm sure both installers are the same)? Is there another way to get all my media onto my device?
Thanks in advance...talk about a four hour headache...

I've used the Reset Network Settings feature in my iPod Touch after every failed attempt to connect to my wireless network. I've also reset the wireless access point and router after making changes to them.
It appears that my Touch is finding the wireless network, accepting the security password/key, and connecting to the wireless access point and router (I get a full signal on the strength indicator). However, the Touch appears to be acquiring the IP Address automatically, right? Thus, it gets the IP Address starting with "169". If I can manually set up the TCP/IP settings, I believe I can get it to connect. Is there a way to set up the TCP/IP settings manually?

HELP!! I can't get Itunes to work!

I have been having problems with Itunes for awhile. I couldn't get store to come up. I tried installing older versions and it still didn't work. I upgraded to the latest version and still get the same error when I try to get the store to come up. It says network connection refused. I am using a wireless card. Since I upgraded to the newest version of Itunes now I can't even skip to a different song. Can someone please help me with my two problems? I want to use itunes and be able to skip to the next song.

I am trying to download itunes but I keep getting the message that apple application support was not found and that I need it for itunes helper. It tells me to uninstall then reinstall but that does nothing. How can I get itunes to work?

I need to downlad iTunes for my iPod Touch to work, but I can't dowload iTunes without apple application support. How can I get apple application support or is there any other way to download iTunes?

Help: Can't get iTunes to work with VTBook from Village Tronic

After installing a Village Tronic VTBook display card into my windows laptop, iTunes will no longer recognize/sync with my 5th Gen iPod. Additionally, CPU useage gets maxed out between service.exe and iPodService.exe taking 98% CPU.
When I uninstall the VTBook drivers and roll-back the system to a restore point before the drivers installed - everything works fine between iTunes and iPod.
I'm using v7.0.2.16 of iTunes and v1.2.1 iPod firmware. I've tried both the v2.4 and v2.3 VTBook drivers and I'm at the end of my rope and ready to return the VTBook card.
My question is: has anyone else experienced this and/or does anyone know how to get it the iPod to work with the VTBook drivers installed?
Thanks.
