I want itunes without Quick Time 7.0

I was given a $50 gift card for itunes. Like a dummy, I signed up and downloaded itunes. With it came QuickTime 7.0.
I have an older Kodak Easy Share DX4330 digital camera which takes great pictures and short movies. However, the movies are only compatible with QuickTime 5.0, new versions create annoying vertical lines on the movies. Even when I download newer Kodak software, I get the dreaded QuickTime 7.0. I would rather watch my saved movies than listen to downloaded music so I have uninstalled both itunes and QuickTime 7.0, which come together, MicroSoft style. (It seems Apple has learned some things from MicroShaft). I have $50 in my itunes account, which I cannot use because I don't have itunes on my computer. I still use QuickTime 5.0, which is fine. Is there any way I can get itunes without QuickTime 7.0, or just uninstall the QuickTime 7.0?

Actually, I think the only reason you need QT 7.x is to watch video, because the H.264 codec only works in QuickTime 7. To just listen to music with iTunes you need QT 6.x for the AAC audio codec. On my desktop Mac I'm running a very recent iTunes which works, but complains that it wants QuickTime 7, but I'm still running QuickTime 6.5.3 because QT-7 will kill my ancient Avid...
On MacOS, it is possible to "hide" the QuickTime Player application before upgrading and thus keep the older version available after installing the new version...I don't know what the limitations are on Windows, but it might be possible to keep the older version of QuickTime around for watching videos that don't play right in the new version.
But I would wonder why the old videos don't play right in the new version. Which codec did the older movies use?

Unable to upgrade itunes or Quick Time

I recently transferred all my data and programs to a new hard drive. Since then I have been unable to run itunes. The message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". When I try to delete itunes so I can reinstall it I get the following two messages:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable
The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it".
Any ideas.

"+unable to delete older version of quick time" "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" "enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Quick Time.msi'".
With those symptoms, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?
THIS WORKED FOR MY SYSTEM. I have now reloaded both iTunes and Quick Time. THANKS

I installed itunes and quick time but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096). I have removed both itunes and quicktime from my computer and re-installed them and I still get the same message. What do I do to get itunes to work?

That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

hmmmm.
doublechecking something before proceeding ... are any boxes ticked in the Compatibility tab for your QuickTime?
(i've seen that message produced when some of the Display Settings boxes in there are ticked, not just the compatibility mode one.)

Itunes plus quick time update

Received notice of updating to itunes v9 +quick time + safari. Well Safari update appeared to install ok but the itunes and quick time gets to a point where it say it can't change Config.msi\4843932.rbf
Tells me to try again as Administator. Well I am logged in as administrator and it still won't install even when I download it and then try to install from the directory folder.

Perhaps your ISP is lying about Google's address?
Since there is no Mac version of Chrome, it's unlikely that Google is trying to force you to use that Maybe they're hoping you'll write it?
Try http://74.125.19.99/ and see how that works (that's one of the addresses that Network Utility shows me for www.google.com).

I strongly recommend that you install iTunes to the default C: paths. You can change the perferences to keep the actual music files on your D: partition.

ITunes and Quick Time upgrade 9.0.2 error downloading and installing

Hi,
This morning I recived notification that there is a new update for iTunes and Quick Time. While downloading and installing this upgrade 9.0.2, I received the following error:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT, version= "8.0.50727.4053" type="win32", publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", process or Architecture="x86"', please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736B3.
What the heck does that mean???

I received the same error and spent roughly an hour and a half troubleshooting with the Apple Customer Support before I was told that it was a Windows or Lenovo manufacturer issue -- something to do with a registry key -- and that this was outside the realm of Apple Customer Support.
If you are able to resolve it, I would be interested in knowing how.

Help to install iTunes and Quick Time please!

I really hope you can help me. I have been working my way through this forum for around 5 hours today. I have tried a number of your suggestions and have made some progress.
- My iTunes hasn't been working for some time. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall a fresh version but it wouldn't uninstall.
- So following forum advice, I downloaded and ran Windows Install Clean Up and also did a manual deletion exercise. This left a few odd files that wouldn't delete.
- I have downloaded iTunes 8.2 but it won't install. I get an error message: "error writing to file: c:\programfiles\commonfiles\apple\mobile device support\syncservices\schemas\calendars.syncschema\contents\windows\calendars.ex e Verify that you have access to that directory" and eventually I get a message telling me that iTunes needs Quick Time.
- I also downloaded the stand alone version of Quick Time. When trying to install it I get the error message "error writing to file:c:\programfiles\quicktime\pictureviewer.resources\ko.1proj\pictureviewerlo calized.dll Verify that you have access to that directory"
- I can confirm that I am the only user of this computer and I have administrator rights.
- I have installed the latest Microsoft updates.
- I have restarted my computer about 3 times, after each major thing I've tried.
Totally Stuck Now!
I did read a suggestion about using a Microsoft fix but it involves going into the registry and I don't have the confidence to do that, I don't really know what I'm doing at all, I'm just following my nose!
When my computer starts up CheckDisk says "correcting error in index $0 16208" and after correcting and sorting it says "an unspecified error occurred".
Please help!!

It sounds as though the file referred to in the error message is corrupt and Windows cannot read it.
Try running a disk check. If it finds and fixes errors, try reininstalling. If not it it doesn't work, go on to the next step.
Try renaming c:\programfiles\commonfiles\apple\mobile device support\syncservices\schemas\calendars.syncschema\contents\windows\calendars.ex e as ...calendars.old.
If Windows will not allow that, then rename the containing folder.
This should allow the install to proceed as it will not see the corrupt file.

Cant install ITunes or Quick Time it says a file is missing that the installer package needs

Each time I try to install ITunes of Quick Time on my Windows XP machine with 2 gig of RAM and running service pack 3 it fails and says that a file the installer package needs is missing. How can I resolve this issue?

Your operating system is fine. No need to worry about that.
it fails and says that a file the installer package needs is missing.
What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

Can't play HD items on iTunes and Quick Time

Hi everyone,
I think I went through all the posts I could find on the subject. If I missed the solution, please forgive me. First time around here.
Here's the problem:
Whenever I open a tv show or movie I purchased on iTunes in HD mode, the audio will play just fine. However, the visual will consist of yellow, magenta and green colors and nothing else. Much like having the wrong codec installed. (Note: When the recent Mountain Lion update and iTunes update came out the vidoes played fine - until I rebooted.) All videos worked just fine on my old iMac. I should also note that VLC will show a progress bar, but neither play video nor audio.
What lead to it:
I recently got a new iMac and migrated everything from my old iMac to the new one. Everything went just fine, except for the problem mentioned above.
What I tried up to now:
- switching to SD (works - but doesn't really solve the problem, does it)
- creating a new user account without any apps installed on it (still get the same result)
- rebooting several times, of course
- finger gymnastics with P+R+cmd+ctrl at start-up
Basic system:
27" (mid 2011) iMac, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M, OS X 10.8.2, iTunes 10.7, Quick Time 10.2
Hope one of you guys can think of a solution to this. I'm all out of ideas.

Problems upgrading to itunes 7/quick time

I have tried to upgrade to itunes 7 and get a message regarding quick time...
"Could not open key:Hkey local machine\software\classes\...\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to thet key or contact your support personnel"
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks

lakeman,
Something is preventing the install of iTunes 7 / Quicktime 7.1.3 from modifying a registry key.
This could be other applications running on the computer such as anti-spyware or anti-virus software.
I would suggest the Empty your Temp directory and restart (some files may not delete), Uninstall older versions of iTunes and QuickTime, Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer, and Download (or redownload) the software from this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
During the install of the Quicktime 7.1.3 standalone mentioned in that article, turn off your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. They are designed to protect applications on your computer from being changed, but in this case updating the software is a change you want to allow.

HT2240 My hard drive crashed and I want to reinstall Quick Time Pro. I have a record of the Registration Code, but can't work out how to download the Pro version once again.

How do I reinstall Quick Time Pro for the second time if I no longer have the original email even though I have the registration code??
My PC died and I want to reinstall on a new PC.

Download and install the "free" version of QuickTime Player from Apple.
Under its Edit menu choose Preferences / Registration and enter your info. This "unlocks" the Pro features found in the free download.
