Installing iTunes and QuickTime on an HP laptop running Windows 7.

I get error 2738 when:
          installing todays downloads or when
          uninstalling a preinstalled 2009 version of QuickTime.
I have seen and successfully applied the solution offerred at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1331.
Twice.
Restarted the computer and applied that solution again, and again with the message indicating success.
And each time get the error 2738 message.

I also looked through the earlier messages and saw something about
a logon as a simple user.
Did this and then noticed the uninstaller in QuickTime folder.
Used this and QuickTime uninstalled without error (2738 or anything else).
Continued to be logged on as this simple user.
Ran the iTunes installer (answering yes to security questions).
Installed both iTunes and QuickTime without error.

  • CD/DVD Drive disappears after installing itunes and quicktime HELP!

    When I have installed itunes and quicktime my cd/dvd player drive disappears?? Has anyone had this problem??

    I have had exactly the same problem with my Toshiba Laptop running Vista Home Premium for 5 months. I have continually tried updating and checking this site for a fix, but haven't had a clue. My Son-in-law works for Microsoft and uses iTunes extensively and he can't figure it out either. Toshiba has no answers.
    I am beginning to believe that Gates has scored one-up on Jobs by planting something in Vista that crashes the drive when you try to use Apple software.

  • Installing itunes and quicktime problem

    Alright i am having problems installing itunes and quicktime, itunes downloads fine but when the quicktime install gets to writing system registry values it says "Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuicktimePlayerLib.QuicktimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"

    "Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes
    \QuicktimePlayerLib.QuicktimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient >access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
    Crikey. Haven't seen one of those for an eternity.
    Checking on a simpler possibility with it first. It can be produced if certain older versions of QuickTime were installed in a different administrative user accpount from the one in which you're currently attempting to install the newer version.
    Do you have other user accounts with full administrative rights on the PC? If so, can the install go through successfully from any of those?

  • Problems installing itunes and quicktime. i've tried everything

    i installed itunes. i was then using the wrong port/plug in because it wouldn't read my D drive. i reinstalled itunes and then i clicked on it and it says something like "i can't open this because the installation failed with itunes or quicktime."
    i then tried to delete itunes from "my computer" which worked, but it wont let me touch quicktime to delete it. i left quicktime in the computer.
    i have then re- installed itunes and registered my ipod over 10 times at least because it kept saying i couldn't use itunes. i think that might be the problem, that my ipod has been registered so many times. which files ami supposed to erase to fix this problem. i restored my computer and reinstalled itunes and the same problem happened. there is also a error 2095 in quicktime which i cant fix. i just got an ibm laptop aith windows xp and i was wondering if i should try using that instead. it already has itunes on it, but it has not been used.should i?

    I'm having the same problem....driving me crazy...I've tried everything...turning off my virus and firewall center....deleting it...reinstalling it from the disk and the site....and I keep getting Error code on the QT of 3 and I don't remember the one of Itunes but it won't run unless QT is installed....HELP!!!!

  • Installed itunes and quicktime 7.1.3 but....

    I installed the new itunes so i could buy some movies but when i went too open it it said error- cannot open file need quicktime 7.1.3 too run - so I reinstalled it 3 times and it didn't work, so then i just intalled quicktime 7.1.3 and it still didn't work. So now i cant use itunes.

    when i went too open it it said error- cannot open file need quicktime 7.1.3 too run - so I reinstalled it 3 times and it didn't work, so then i just intalled quicktime 7.1.3 and it still didn't work. So now i cant use itunes.
    here's what we'll try first with that one.
    first, completely remove your existing itunes and quicktime using the instructions from the following document:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    second, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to check for any leftover itunes or quicktime installation configuration information. if you find any, remove it with CleanUp.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    now restart the PC. download and save a copy of the itunes 7.0.1.8 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    iTunes 7.0.1.8 Installer
    if that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try to launch itunes again. does it launch okay this time, or do you get an error message? if you get an error message, what does it say this time?

  • Massive problems installing itunes and quicktime

    Hi, to anyone who can help me:
    I cannot install iTunes or quicktime. Just bought a new ipod 30gb. v.excited. Downloaded itunes. gives me error messages when i try to install.
    They read: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    and
    "The installation of Quicktime did not complete successfully. ITunes requires Quicktime."
    I have tried using CCleaner to clean up my hard drive and uninstall both itunes and quicktime (old and dodgy new versions). I have tried using 7-zip to unpack the new downloaded files and install from the .msi and other .exe files.
    I have tried installing the standalone Quicktime (which wont install properly) and then installing itunes (which won't install properly, coz quicktime is not installed properly)
    I have tried rebooting my computer between these attempts
    I have tried it with my virus-protection software off as one thread here suggested.
    I am logged on as administrator for all these attempts and i'm at my wits end.
    I have tried everything!
    please help me if you have suggestions.
    Thanks

    They read: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    interesting.
    did you have an earlier version of itunes and/or quicktime installed on the PC? in particular, an itunes 6.0.x or lower version, and/or a QuickTime 7.1 or lower version?
    (checking on this because i'm wondering if there's a DCOM permissions issue involved with the uninstall of your previous versions of itunes/quicktime.)

  • Problemmm installing iTunes and Quicktime on 64bit XP System....NOT VISTA!

    I had a problem installing iTunes onto my Windows XP 64bit system so I tried an older version of both iTunes and Quicktime 7.1.1 from www.oldapps.com and it appeared to work okay...it was version 7.1 I believe. However, the library it pulled over won't play anything that I have downloaded since that release. Any advice?
    Does anyone have a solution for a 64bit XP system? Is there an iTunes tech support phone number anywhere?//

    Now the problem is: i deleted my itunes and quicktime to finally install the new updates. When i install itunes it still give this message during the install and i cannot find the folder  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu  and i deleted everything i could find from itunes.
    In my start menu there isnt anything named itunes as far as i can see. how can i delete the folder so i can finally instal itunes again..?

    These are the minimums listed for the iPod Classic:
    Windows system requirements
    PC with USB 2.0 port

    iTunes 7.4 or later

  • ITunes and QuickTime doesn't open up on Windows Vista

    Hi! I will apreciate all who tries to answer this question.
    I have Windows Vista on my HP laptop and I dowloaded iTunes and QuickTime.
    I had no problem downloading it, but then opening it came a box.
    It said:
    iTunes has stopped working
    Windows can check online for a solution to the problem
    -> Check online for a solution and close the program
    -> Close the program
    View problem details
    Problem signature:

    Then I press close the program and a speech bubble appears at the

    It said:

    I have no idea whats hapening.
    HELP!

    excellent information, sparkly.
    Fault Module Name: StackHash_fd00
    Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
    ... and:
    To help protect your computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes
    ... and the QuickTime Player not launching either (it's a "QuickTime has stopped working" error?).
    With that combination, we need to check on some other application (apart from QuickTime itself) stashing old QuickTime componentry on the PC in an unorthodox location. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects with that, although some games might do the same.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    *If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
    *If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    Trying to install iTunes on my Laptop, running windows 7 (64-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services"

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Installing iTunes and QuickTime

    I've read all of the discussions and tried everything. I had iTunes working on an old computer. Bought a new computer and a couple of iPods. I'm trying to install iTunes from the download. It appears to install ok but when I launch it, I get the "Tell", "Don't Tell" message. Through that, I find out that the problem is with QuickTime and that I should remove it and reinstall. Except that QuickTme does not show up as an installed program but iTunes does. So, I remove iTunes and reinstall. Same thing. When I launch QuickTime, nothing happens but I can view the options page. I tried the standalone quicktime install but get an error at the end (Can't remember the error but it lists a bunch of dll's).
    Can anyone help?

    hi Sunfire!
    I tried the standalone quicktime install but get an error at the end (Can't remember the error but it lists a bunch of dll's).
    hmmm. can you run that standalone again, and check to see if you're getting an "0x80040707" error?
    (if so, i think we've got a good shot at fixing this one.)
    keep us posted.

  • Install iTunes and Quicktime seperately?

    I already have quicktime installed, and all I'm trying to do is upgrade my current iTunes to 10.1. Every time I try to do this, it gets to the part where it installs quicktime, gets to "computing space requirements" and stops. An error message pops up ready "cannot access data folder %APPDATA%\. I've tried so many things, and nothing seems to be working. I'm fairly certain it's quicktime that will not install, not iTunes. So I was wondering if there was any way to install iTunes 10.1 separate from the quicktime installion. Meaning, not the link that Apple provides, because that requires you to install quicktime and iTunes at the same time. I already have quicktime, I just want to install iTunes 10.1. Btw I have a vista home desktop.

    Error 1402. Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda\OpenWithProgids.

    when i go to regedit, my user seems to have correct access on the key, but i add "everyone" as it says in the link above, then when i try to install i get the above error. Go back into regedit and "everyone" is no longer on that key
