Install Itunes, message says newer version of Quicktime is already installe

I have tried every which way to uninstall Itunes and Quicktime. When I try a new install Itunes it stops and says a newer version of quicktime is already installed, then I close out of that window and the next one says that Itunes can not be installed without Quicktime. Help, I have spent most of today on this and i am ready to toss my computer and Ipod!

Thanks beaner!
Okay, we're now going to try uninstalling iTunes and Apple Application Support (if it is still present on the system). Then we'll reinstall iTunes, which should reinstall Apple Application Support as well. We'll also take a few additional explicit precautions along the way.
First, download and save a fresh copy of iTunesSetup.exe (the itunes installer file) to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Quit QuickTime and Safari 4.0.4 if you have them open. (They both use Apple Application Support, and will interfere with the uninstall if they are open.)
Now head into your "Uninstall a program" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support (if it is present).
Next we'll clear away any leftover program files and folders.
In "Computer" open "Local Disk (C:)".
Open the "Program Files" folder.
Right-click on the "iTunes" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Right-click on the "Apple Application Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Empty your recycle bin and restart the PC.
After the PC restarts, don't open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now disable all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the iTunes reinstall by doubleclicking on the iTunesSetup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Did that install seem to go through okay? If so, does your iTunes launch properly this time?

Can't install Itunes 9.2 "Newer Version of Quicktime"

I got a new itouch last week. Worked fine. Then went to update software to new OS (maybe Apple could have put this on a brand new one instead of older OS?!). Message said i needed Itunes 9.2. Went to update and got error "newer version of quicktime installed" and that i can't update since iTunes needs Quicktime. Tried several approaches, no luck. Deleted Itunes for a fresh start and then this wiped the Itouch clean which i had not at all intended. But, despite this exact same error message. I have been working on this and have used various uninstallers and searched the registry, cleaned temp folders, compressed and defragmented the hard drive. Downloaded Chrome, tried manually installing Itunes using Apple Software update, etc etc etc etc etc. Same message. Do i need to wipe the hard drive? Does anyone from Apple have any idea what to do? All message boards i have seen indicate that they do not.

That one has gotten complicated ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for *at least version 3.0* of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
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 iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Getting message saying new version of QuickTime installed so ...

... can't complete installation of itunes 10. I started this process to download the latest version of software for the iphone (4.0), i've lost track of what i've done now. Have uninstalled my earlier version of itunes and now can't load up itunes 10. I've searched for all quicktime installations, deleted anything apple related and still no joy and being trying this for about 10 hours in total now. Please can somebody help me?!! On the plus side have the new software on my iphone but lost all my itunes contents, arrghhhhh!

Knowledge Base article 301913 explains, briefly, about these "recovered items." It used to be common in pre-OS X systems & is now very common in Tiger. I can't remember if it also happens in Panther.

Quicktime uninstall error "A newer version of quicktime is already..."

We have 2 new ipods and iphone. We attempted to install the newest version of itunes but when running the install I get this message: A newer version of quicktime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of quicktime is installed." Sadly, my first response was to uninstall the itunes we had that was running fine (aside from a pop up message that would tell us that some of our quicktime needed updating (not exact words, but I can't replicate the error message)
Unable to uninstall quicktime via window uninstall- I get the same error message as above.
I since have manually removed the quicktime folder from my program files. I have used the search feature to look for instances of quicktime and can't find anything else. I have even, at the advice of another, gone into the registry (start, regedit) and then removed quicktime folders found under apple computer. I have run "advance system care" in hopes to clean up the registry.
I am still unable install itunes and continue to get the same message when attempting to install itunes or uninstall quicktime. I need some help! (my kids are freaking out, thus so am I)

Most likely we're looking at a damaged QuickTime.msi file stuck on your system. (That contains the installation database for the previous version of QuickTime on the system.)
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25.

A newer version of Quicktime is already installed.

I installed my new Nokia software for my phone on my laptop which messed up so I did a system restore.
Since then Itunes and Quicktime stopped working.
After following a lot of stuff other people had tried I'm now at the stage where if I download the combined itunes/quicktime installer it tells me a newer version of Quicktime is already installed and if I download the stand alone Quicktime installer it tells me that the configuration data for this product is corrupt and to contact support personnel.
Please help!

go to microsoft free downloads and install the "installer cleaner"
use that to uninstall Quicktime.
close it and then open "my computer" "local drive' "windows" "system32" and delte any folder or file in there with Quicktime
close and then go to my computer/local drive/program files and delete any Quicktime. Close
Go to web and download the 7.3 version - it worked for me (after 6 hours, registry cleaners, etc ..and finally help from Apple)
i was getting your error message and also the buffer overrun and even fatal error and systm32/ddl
good luck!

Upon opening itunes, message says new iphone Software Version 4.3.5 for the iphone. I click on download. As it starts download, the est time is 58 minutes! I try it anyway, but the network "times out," no software update occurs.

Upon opening itunes, I try to download Software Version 4.3.5 update. Starts off with estmated time of 58 minutes. Download never completes.

I'm not sure about your problem but i can tell you that since my girlfriend updated her phone to 4.3.5 it doesnt let her put pictures on. I hadn't updated my iphone and could put pictures on my phone. Since i have updated my iphone to 4.3.5 i can not put pictures on my iphone either and results in my itunes library crashing and closing. How do i email apple to let them know of this prob?? Sorry i couldn't help you with your problem.

Can't install Quicktime - Error "A newer version of quicktime already..."

Hi, I have a Dell XPS running Windows Xp Media edition. Quicktime files would not play so I downloaded the newest version of Quicktime and an error comes up saying, "A newer version of quicktime is already installed. This installation of Quicktime can not proceed while the newer version is installed." I can't find a newer version on the computer and the application seems absent. Only suplimentary Quicktime files are found. Please help.
Thanks,
Eric
Dell XPS Windows XP

I'm having this exact same problem. I have a Gateway running Windows XP Media Edition.
I can't run quicktime, it says it's not there. I've tried uninstalling using add/remove and it says the uninstall.log file is missing. I tried uninstalling using the QT uninstaller option in its folder, it says the uninstall.log is not there. I tried 'repair' option on the iTunes+QT installer that I downloaded. Still the same issue.
I tried the stand alone QuickTime installer and it tells me "A newer version of quicktime already exists".
I tried deleting the residual quicktime folders from my c:\program files. I tried deleting the residual QT references from my regedit. I downloaded the MS Windows Install Clean Up and looked in there--found 2 more things that could possibly be quicktime related and removed those. I tried again -- same error message.
I'm not sure what else to do. I'd really like to get Quicktime and iTunes working by Christmas so I can sync my shiney new iPod.

The installer thinks a newer version of QuickTime exists.

I tried to upgrade to iTunes 7.6, but I couldn't, so I tried installing it manually. I uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime, but when I went to install iTunes I got the following error message. "A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed." I am running Vista. Any help would be great. Just keep in mind that I am not very computer smart.

I now have the exact same issue. I have thoroughly cleaned any trace of Itunes or Quicktime including the Registry and still it thinks there is a version of quicktime on this pc. I was able to find an older Quicktime and Itunes 7.5 and they will install, but I didn't run it before trying to run the 7.6 version install. It continued to say a new version of Quicktime was there but its not. I don't know where they are looking to see if a version exists. They should have a way to force an install to overwrite no matter what is on a PC. Are you listening APPLE??????? Get with the rest of the software world. Guess I should go get a Zune...

ITunes won't install because there is already a newer version of Quicktime

I am trying to install the new version of iTunes, but halfway through the installation process a message comes up that says there is already a newer version of Quicktime installed and iTunes cannot be updated. I tried many things like uninstalling Quicktime but this did not work. How can I get iTunes installed?

Hello lberle
Check to see if you are up to date on iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update and update it if it needs it. Then update Pages one that is done by going to the App Store.

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

After downloading and installing the 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows I get a "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message. However, when I plug in my iPhone to synch it I get a message that says that I don't the 64-bit version??

After downloading the 64-bit version of iTunes on my Windows 7 machine I get the "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message. However, when I plug in my iPhone I get an error message that says, in part, "...the required software is not installed. Run the installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes". I've been at this for hours, carefully deleting all Apple software (Apple Mobile Support, Quicktime, etc. and before each attempt to install the 64-bit version from Apple ( no third parties). Same result each time!!! Any ideas????

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:

Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:

Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

I am trying to reinstall iTunes but everytime I try to reinstall it, it is telling me that I can't because I have a newer version of Quicktime installed. The problem is that I cannot uninstall this, please help.

I have just purchased an iPhone 4, but it wasn't connecting to my iTunes, so I took advice and uninstalled iTunes. But when I am trying to reinstall iTunes, it keeps telling me that I cannot because I have a newer version of Quicktime installed. I cannot find this newer version anywhere, and have gotten rid of the Quicktime folder, but it is still refusing to install iTunes.
Please help, I have tried everything.

That's usually caused by damaged QuickTime installation configuration information on the PC.

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get an error message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. Has anyone else run into this problem recently?

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!

Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.
