Installation error: QuickTime for Windows

Here's the error I keep getting when trying to install QuickTime version 7.60.92.0:
"The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator."
If I try to install iTunes+QuickTime together, I get the first error from above, and a variation of the error that basicly is the same thing but it referes to C:\Program Files\QuickTime.
Well I am logged on as the system administrator, so that's not the problem. I tried manually searching for the folders so I could try to grant "privileges" but the folders don't even exsist. I've spent 4-6 hours a day for the past week searching EVERYWHERE reading as much as my eyes can handle, to no avail. I really hope someone can help me because I can't install iTunes without QuickTime and I'm all out of ideas...

For the first part I can get to-
C:\Documents and Settings\Lizzy\Application Data\ but there's no Apple folder. It does keep going on to: Apple Computer\QuickTime and theres a file inside called QTPlayerSession (xml filetype) that I don't know what is.
Also I can get to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple\
but there's no "Apple Software Update" folder/file. It goes on to a folder for Installer Cache. (more similar to 2nd part you posted)
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple\Installer Cache\Apple Mobile Device Support 2.1.2.7
Inside is a AppleMobileDeviceSupport installer program that I ran to try to repair. It finished installing but I don't see that it really did anything and I don't see any other programs that it might have created.
The 2nd part you posted I can get this far-
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\
then the only folder I see is "QuickTime". Inside is one file named QuickTime.qtp and I'm not sure what I can do with this, if anything.
I tried searching my computer for QuickTime.msi but the search didn't find it. The AppleMobileDeviceSupport program sounded similar but I don't see that it did anything to solve the errors.
Thanks for the reply and sorry if I'm confuseing you or not being as helpful as I should be, I'm trying; but this is confusing for me.

"Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

QuickTime Error 46 for Windows 7

Can someone help me with the fix for QuickTime Error 46 for Windows 7???

Go here: http://wstec.net/f-cking-apple-bug/
Follow the instructions there with one exception, you must also right click and change the properties for SubInAcl.exe to run in Vista (service pack 2) compatibility mode BEFORE running fix_apple_bug.cmd.
BOTH files must be flagged to run in vista compatibility mode, I also set subinacl.exe to run as administrator.
This fixed my Error 46 problem.

Quicktime for windows doesn't work, wont let me uninstall or update.Help!

Quicktime for windows doesn't work, won't let me uninstall (tells me fatal errro) or update (tells me it encountered an error on installation). Help!I am running Windows XP on an Intel pentium PC. Any ideas? Dvora

When you get this fatal error uninstalling, try a full removal of iTunes and related programs with an installer clean up of any that do not uninstall cleanly:
Here is a method:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Help with Quicktime for Windows 7 64-bit

I am having a problem with the latest version of Quicktime for Windows. When I launch Quicktime and then 'click' on any icon for download I can see the sentence, "Connecting to iTunes" and then I am redirected to download iTunes... Problem is that I already have iTunes.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and up to date.
iTunes version 11.1.3.8
Quicktime version 7.74.80.86
I Unibstalled both products, using the guide provided from Apple. I, then downloaded and installed iTunes first, then I downloaded Quicktime and installed it. I had the same issue. Next, I went to Control Panel/ "programs and Features, used the "change" option and clicked "repair". I did this for both iTunes and Quicktime. They ran fine. No error messages, nothing in event logs, no trace of an install log to try to diagnose this myself. Does anyone have this problem, or can anyone help me to start the diagnosis necessary to solve this?
Second issue came to light after all of the steps I performed; Before, I would conect my iPhone to a USB port and iTunes would launch automatically. Now, it does not. I see my 4s in devices and I see a normal state using device manager. So, I went to "Default Programs" and selected my 4s and the dropdown window no longer has an option for iTunes. However, when I go to choose a default program for audeo, etc. the dropdown mwnu has an option for iTunes.
Thanks for reading and I would like some help.

I found the problem and the solution. In Internet Explorer ver 11 / manage plugin's, make sure that the Apple plugin's are enabled. My setings were incorrect, the plugin ws siabled. Enabled it and all is well!

IPhone 4 AirPrint printing issue (AirPrint Installer 1.3 for Windows)

I have been trying to get AirPrint working on my iPhone 4 (CDMA/Verizon) for a while now without success
I know that the AirPrint feature is designed to work with AirPrint compatible HP WiFi printers (as Apple dropped support for OS X), though I have no plans on buying a new printer when I have 2 perfectly fine printers shared on the network, let alone one specifically designed to work with AirPrint
I have tried out AirPrint Installer 1.3 for Windows (running on WinXP MCE 2005), but can't seem to get it to work properly
After installing AirPrint Installer, I was able to see one printer from the iPhone (from a laser printer shared from another computer on the network), and was able to send a print command from the iPhone to the XP MCE computer, but I kept getting "Error-Printing" from the print que (on XP MCE)
After sharing a printer connected locally (via USB), I was able to print from my iPhone once successfully, but nothing from the iPhone would show up in the que on XP MCE since
Since then I have also shared the Microsoft XPS Document Writer (saves "printed" documents to an XPS file) as a way to tinker around with AirPrint without wasting paper, ink, and/or toner, and was unable to print from it
Now whenever I attempt to print from my iPhone, I have the option of 3 printers, the shared laser on a different computer on the network, the local inkjet via USB, and the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, selecting any of them will then give me a message with an image of a piece of doggy eared paper saying "Printing to "<Printer Name>" Sending to Printer" as if it's about to print, but there is no change on XP MCE, the print cue shows nothing, and nothing prints and I don't get a popup asking where I would like to save (when using the XPS Document Writer), yet I can print fine from the computer itself
Also, I have noticed that after a while, the printers will disappear from the list (on the iPhone) one by one, and I have to constantly uninstall and reinstall AirPrint Installer, only for it to not work again
Am I doing something wrong? I have updated iTunes, I don't have a software firewall, and I am pretty sure I have installed AirPrint Installer 1.3 correctly
I have also tried using AirPrint Activator and AirPrint Hacktivator on my MBA, but I only have Leopard on it (haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard yet, and may not for a while), so AirPrint Hacktivator will close unexpectedly (constantly), and AirPrint Activator gives me an error saying I need at least Snow Leopard, so I would really appreciate it if I could get AirPrint Installer 1.3 to work

I have been having exactly the same problem as Mike's original problem as well as this problem as well. Originally, i couldn't get the iphone to see all my shared printers. I have an Epson RX580 ink jet all in one printer and a HP P1006 laser jet printer. They are both shared printers. Both are able to be printed to from other wired and wireless computers in my network. They are both showing as ready when I look at them in the printer/fax window.
I'm using Window's XP SP3 with all the latest updates. I originally down loaded a german version of this AirPrint Installer 1.3. It didn't have all the bells this version does. After DL'ing this version AirPrint Installer 1.3, My Verizon Iphone 4 with 4.2 OS could see the printers on my network.
When I try to print an email or picture. I takes me to the screen on the iphone to choose the printer I want to use. When I choose either printer and click the "Print" button, it takes me to a screen that says "Communicating with Printer" with an image of a page of paper with the edge turned down. After about 30-45 seconds the screen reverts back to the email or picture. After another min or so, a message will pop up saying that the printer is offline with one button that says cancel and another button that says continue.
If I look at the print que for the printers, there is nothing in the que, but when I high light the printer in the printer/fax window some extra options become available that aren't there if there are really no jobs in the cue. One of the options on the left is the option to cancell all print jobs. When I click this, the computer looks like it does something cause the screen kind of flickers and then the option dissappears.
I would really like to be able to print pic's straight from my iphone and would love to get this working. Would really appreciate any help with this issue.

64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows

I'm running 64-bit version of Windows 7 via bootcamp. I'm running 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010. I have the latest version of Quicktime installed 7.7.3 something. I can play the file on the desktop no problem, but when I try to insert the file into Powerpoint or play a file that I inserted previously into Powerpoint on a different system, it says either Quicktime unavailable or you need a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert the file.
So, exactly where is a 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows because apparently the one on the Apple website for Windows is not 64-bit. Everyone keeps saying download the 64-bit version of Quicktime. Great, tell me where it is. There is no option for 64-bit on the website. It doesn't even say it is 64-bit. It just says its compatible with Windows 7. Powerpoint 2010 64-bit MUST have a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert or play any Quicktime file. The OS doesn't give a rats @ss one way or the other.
The file I previously inserted was playing on a system that apparently had a 32-bit version of Powerpoint installed. That machine defaults to VLC player on the desktop. It has no issues with the file. It's the Quicktime Player mismatch on my machine that is giving me grief. If I knew Office was going to be a PITA if I installed the 64-bit version I would have stuck with the 32-bit version.
Ideas? Where is the 64-bit version? How do you tell it is 64-bit? How do you force the installer to make sure it ONLY installs a 64-bit version of it?

If Microsoft merely off their own decided that only a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be supported by them and did not both checking such a beast existed then this is perfectly believable behavior on the part of Microsoft and they should roast in **** for it.
If Apple led Microsoft to believe that a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be released like a 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows has been released but then backed out then this is equally believeable behaviour on the part of Apple and then equally the guilty parties at Apple should roast in ****.
It should be noted that the 64-bit version of iTunes is able to play videos via the 32-bit version of QuickTime. This suggests Microsoft programmers are weak with the force. This would tend to support my theory that Microsoft despite being the biggest software company in the world are better at making hardware than software.
Moving on to trying to be more constructive…
Clearly as things stand using the existing and only official version of QuickTime for Windows which is 32-bit only is not going to work in 64-bit Office. It might therefore be worth looking at trying the following.
Uninstall completely Apple's 32-bit QuickTime for Windows (if installed currently)
Install QuickTime Alternative - see http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm
I have no idea if QuickTime Alternative is 64-bit, I have no idea if it will work in 64-bit Office even if it is 64-bit. However it does work in Internet Explorer for Windows, it is free and therefore will cost you nothing to try. If it does not work you can then always uninstall it.
As another even more abtruse solution, you could try loading your PowerPoint file in to the free iWorks i.e. KeyNote via a free iCloud account. It will allow importing PowerPoint files and will even work in Internet Explorer.

Quicktime for Windows -- on Vista -- opens a .mov movie once, then won't open the move and Quicktime won't even open itself. I've installed the latest version, and upgraded it to Plus as well.

I am having trouble opening .mov videos with Quicktime on my PC with Vista. I installed the latest version of Quicktime for Windows (V.7.7), and upgraded it to Pro. It will open a .mov file once, then after that it will not open any .mov file and in fact, when I try to open the Quicktime player it will not open itself. If I switch users to Admin, it all works fine, but when I go back to my regular role (where all of my preferences and programs are there for me to use), the same thing happens. An .mov file will open once, then never again, and the Quicktime player seems to be disabled.
I've tried different .mov files, so it's not a corrupt file that's the problem. And, in the past (a couple of Quicktime versions ago, I guess), all of this worked just fine.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

I have the exact same problem. They play on my Mac under Snow Leopard. Transfer to Vista gets a window with black and white and some other noise. No sound either.

Where can I download Quicktime for windows?

Where can I download the free Quicktime for windows? All I found on Apple's site was Macintosh versions.

Apples page uses "detection" scripts to serve up the proper version. Log in using a Mac and that is the only version the links send you to. Same for a PC.

Problems Downloading Quicktime For Windows

I have made numerous attempts over the past few weeks to download QuickTime for Windows XP. Each attempt results in the following:
I end up at a page that says "Your download will start automatically" and "Thankyou for downloading QuickTime."
Of course,the download never starts. I've tried downloading using Mozilla Firefox as well as IE7, both the latest versions with all patches applied. Javascript is turned on in IE7.
Even after waiting a few hours, nothing gets downloaded, or even starts to download.

As I have a DSL connection, I am not using any acceleration software, at least not on my own Pc. Perhaps my service provider is, but I have no control over that.
As to pop-up blockers, I turned them off in both IE7 and Mozilla 2.0.0.3, all to no avail. My software firewall is setup to always advise me of anything that it is attempting to block, and no messages have appeared on my screen.
I've tried downloading Quicktime on three different computers, two at one location, the third two miles away from the other two Pc's.
So far, I have had no success.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
