I cant get my computer to install quicktime or itunes.

Everytime i download it i get a prompt that says unknown publisher. i tell it to allow it but all it does is give me an hour glass for my mouse then stops.

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install!

Hi
I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install, for example it says iPhoto is intalled but its not, i never copied it from the older imac, and i cant download it to this one now
any help appreciated

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Was the AirPort Express previously working with the PC using XP?
What service does the Express perform on your nework?
Is the indicator light on the AirPort Express green, slow blinking amber, or solid amber?

I cant get my computer to update the os x software

i need help!!! i cant get my software to update anymore. and now i need to update to a newer version of os x (10.5) but i cant get my computer to do it. can anyone help me?!!!!

OS X 10.4.x won't update to 10.5
10.5 won't update to 10.6
and 10.6 won't update to 10.7
Not without paying for it and meeting the hardware requirements.
Please tell us your hardware so we can tell you how far you can go.
Sometimes older versions of OS X are no longer supported even though the computer still works perfectly fine.
You might have to accept what you got or buy a new machine and use the older one for something else that doesn't need to be updated anymore.

Is your iTunes running the latest version? If not, but the iPod you've bought has been set up to work with the latest version, then iTunes probably will not recognise it.
In iTunes, select Help/Check for updates. If there is a newer version, make sure you are running that before connecting the iPod again.
If that isn't the problem - or more to the point - it doesn't fix the problem, post here again so that anyone watching it can suggest the next step.

Installing Quicktime without iTunes

Is there any way to install Quicktime without iTunes. I have an older laptop and I just don't need iTunes there as it's on my desktop.
There is a link on the Apple site which points to a 20 MB dowload (information below) but the download link still takes me to the "norman" QuickTime and iTunes download page.
Very frustrating - would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,
ed

So, did you start GTA IV under wine and it's working?
This is a year and half old thread. Wine has gone through many changes since this time. If you're having problems starting the game, please open a new thread and provide any relevant information.

Unable to install Quicktime and itunes

Hi,
I am getting beyond despair and desperate for help on this please (I have spent hours and hours and still no further forward).
I am running XP with service pack 3 installed. Windows updates are up to date.
When iTunes 9 first came out it wanted to update but returned an error: -
"The installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. ITunes requires QuickTime"
I therefore took the advice posted on Apples support site to download and install QuickTime separately.
Attempting the Quicktime installation first, after installing the Apple Application Support and Apple Software Update elements (I can see these in the add/remove programmes utlility) the installation crashes with the error message-
"The installer encountered errors before the required operation for QuickTime could be completed. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again".
I have since followed the advice here: -
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44469
and here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
- this includes all items through to and including the Additional Troubleshooting.
In addition, I have searched for and deleted all the .msi files relating to iTunes, QuickTime etc.
One thing that I could not do is to attempt an install through Safe Mode. Windows would not allow it (even though I was logged on as administrator).
Where do I go from here?
Please help -life's too short to loose 2 days getting Itune to work!

Great catch, Diane!
Following hard drive problem a few months ago, I had reinstalled XP onto a new primary drive, labeled F. A second drive is also installed on the machine, labeled C, which had come from another computer. This also has a copy of XP in it, although it does not boot from this drive. In this case however, the path for the msiexec service was pointing to the old C drive.
Crikey. I've seen documentation on that sort of thing as a possible cause of Invalid Drive installation error messages, but I don't think I've ever seen it reported before "in the flesh" (as it were). I don't think I'd have thought to check on that at all with your error messages.
Glad you got things working, Diane. Many thanks for letting us know about your resolution.

Error 2378 cannot install quicktime or itunes

I recently received and ipod nano and I was required to download ipod 8.0 or higher. When I run the msi program it gets to the last stages of installing quicktime and has an error causing the installation to fail. The error message displayed gives the reference error 2378

I also purchased an Ipod (120) but can not intstall the new Itunes upgrade it requires.
Same error code w/vista and quick time.

How to install Quicktime WITHOUT iTunes?

It seems that there isn't a Quicktime installation kit, just an "iTunes with Quicktime" kit. That can't be right. I don't want to install Apple bloatware that I'm never going to use and would just uninstall right away just to get a simple video player.
Seriously, iTunes includes DRM (Digital Restrictions Software) of the sort that you often can never get off of your system without crippling it in some way.
All I want to do is watch movie previews. I shouldn't have to install 35 MB of software (compressed) just to watch movie previews.
So please, tell me how to install just Quicktime, or tell me about a Quicktime 7 compatible media player I can use as an alternative.
Tony
P.S. Why are so many movie previews available only in Quicktime format? Does Apple pay the studios to get a monopoly in this area or what? You can usually can get around this by going to Canadian sites, for example the US site for Imagine Me and You has only a Quicktime format preview, but you can go to a Canadian site, http://www.icinema.ca/movie.php?movieID=51628, and they have the preview in Windows Media and Real formats ONLY (Quicktime isn’t even available). But that's an inconvenience. Why can’t we get to choose our media format in the US?
Alienware something-or-other Windows XP

Thanks for the link. That's exactly what I was looking for.
I went back to the "Quicktime Download" tab and I still can't see a link to the /standalone page. It must be hidden somewhere, but Real does the same sort of bait-and-switch thing, except they are trying to trick you into paying for their product, which is even worse.
Also I apologize for the attitude. Just kind of frustrated, having spent too much time trying to solve this very minor problem.
