It works!!! ITunes is now loaded!  For "...Encountered a problem" errors

After 4 days of working on this non stop, I have finally got it! Thanks to all of you posting the wonderful tips!
I will tell you what I did. I am not sure which of these steps was the trick, since I did this so many times. But there are two things that I did differently this last time, which I mention below. I think those did the trick!
1) Under "Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows" on Apple Support for iTunes (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976) do ALL of the steps under "Completely Remove iTunes and QuickTime". Please note: For step #16, when it talks about removing files in C:/Windows/System32, make sure you remove folders AND files. The first time I did this, I only removed the Itunes, Ipod and Quicktime folders. I did not scroll all the way down to just the independent files, there were a few more Quicktime files there.
2) Additionally, I went to My Computer, and went under C:/Program files and deleted the folders there too.
3) (optional?) I wanted to at least get one program working right first (neither my iTunes or QT were working, I was getting the error "iTunes/Quicktime has encountered a problem..." So after I completed the above steps, I went to this site and downloaded QT by itself first, and made sure it was working properly before I proceeded. This may have had nothing to do with it, but wanted to share my exact steps that I did.
4) Downloaded iTunes + Quicktime again. I THINK THIS NEXT PART WAS WHAT DID IT: This worked for someone else yesterday who posted it, so I tried this too. I think that, for whatever reason, this was a key. When you get to the part where it asks you what folder to load it into, instead of defaulting into C:/Program Files/iTunes, I installed it directly onto C. So, that would be C:/iTunes. I did the same for QT on step #3 above.
It now works, and my 10 yr old is a happy camper, and I get to tackle something else tomorrow, since I have spent 4 days on this! Thank you so much to all of you who posted tips to help!

  • Trying to download from audible.co.uk but get error message that iTunes is incorrectly loaded and i should reinstall - error message 1007.  I have no idea how to do this or why i get the message as iTunes works perfectly well.

    I am not that computer literate.  I want to know why i can't get my audible books onto my iTunes.  I get an error message that says iTunes was inccorectly loaded and i should reload it.  Not only do I not know how to do this but i don't think it needs to be done.  I have used itunes for other things and it is working perfectly OK.  I get an error message 1007

    Hi,
    I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
    Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
    I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this.
    It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.

  • Installed iTunes 10.2.1 for Windows (64-bit), Error 7 Windows 998

    Hello
    After updating iTunes 10.2.1 for Windows (64-bit)I am getting the dreaded iTunes was not installed correctly, Please reinstall iTunes. With error 7 (Windows error 998) popups.
    Tried already all the known uninstall/install/repair suggestions. Tried runnng as administrator or changing permissions. Tried disabling Bonjour Service.
    Until now nothing has repaired it.
    Is there a way to fix this? Can it be an Adobe update?
    Is there a way to get an older version?

    I had the same problem. I tried doing a system restore to a day or 2 before i did the update. The restore was successful but the itunes problem remained. After that I went into the control panel, selected itunes and clicked the repair tab.
    It now works fine for me. The only other step I took was to copy my itunes folder into another location in case anything went wrong. Once the repair was complete I simply replaced the new empty itunes folder with my previous one.
    Hope this is of some help.

  • Itunes has encountered a problem  error

    hi Richard!
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    the first thing we should check with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch? if it doesn't, let's try a careful standalone QT install. see:

    keep us posted.

  • ITunes encountering a problem - error message

    I recently bought an iPod nano and successfully upgraded my itunes with no problems. Have been using it fine until yesterday when I tried to go onto it I received the message "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". We have since de-installed both itunes and quicktime and re-installed both but I still keep getting this message. Help! What's gone wrong?

  • Itunes won't load...wierd problem

    Hey guys. I was hoping you could help me out.
    I've been running itunes on my g5 for a long time without any problems. I was running it today with my ipod, did some stuff with that, closed itunes and now when i try to use itunes, it says it needs osx ver 10.4.7 or later in order to run. I have 10.4.8 so I have no clue why this warning is even coming up. I've tried downloading the newest version of itunes off the website and i'm still getting the same problem. I've even tried repairing the disk permissions.
    any ideas what I can do?

    Jeff,
    I have about 30 GB Left. I did find the problem on my own, The plug-ins for Quicktime (not iTunes!) were corrupted. I replaced the plug-ins and everything is fine now.

  • TS5376 is there a fix for iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows installation problem?

    I tried the fix in "TS5376: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open" but problem remains. We have the same issue on my dauther's PC (Windows 7 also). iTunes can't open and configure correctly.

    Hey MichelHebert,
    When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow these steps below? This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    from: Step 1 of Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Let us know if uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Take care,
    Delgadoh

  • ITunes won't install due to package problem - Error 2330

    I tried to install iTunes 8 yesterday for the first time and when I launched the Apple Installer and it gets most of the way through when the following message appears: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
    I ran the installer again and created a log file of the install process if that could help someone?!?!
    Any information would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time dealing with Apple as I received an iPod Touch as a gift the other day and now cannot connect it to get it working!
    I am using a PC and have Windows Vista Home Premium.
    Thank you.

    There is a list of WIndows installer errors here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372835.aspx
    2330 is: Error getting file attributes
    Often with error, a file name is mentioned - sometimes there is a corrupt file.
    It is worth running a disk check to see if a filing system error shows up.
    If nothing shows up and you can identify the problem file, sometimes renaming if or containing folder, assuming it is within an iTunes related folder.
    Otherwise, if no file was mentioned, maybe you could search through the log file for error messages or 2330 to see if anything shows up that may indicate what the problem is.

  • How to fix "Adobe RoboHelp 7 has encountered a problem" error?

    I am using Adobe RoboHelp 7 to create WebHelp, with Windows XP. I haven't worked on my help project for about 10 days, and suddenly when I try to open the project I get this message: "Adobe RoboHelp 7 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Other help projects DO open, so it's something about this one. I went to the TechNote called "Troubleshoot system errors and freezes in RoboHelp 7 (Windows XP)" and followed its first steps: downloaded all the updates for RoboHelp 7, installed current Windows service packs (except for IE 8, which gave me a problem last time I tried to install it), and deleted temporary files. None of these solved the problem. Now I am defragmenting my disk, but I don't have much hope for that.
    Can anyone help? I'm near the end of my project and am under time pressure to make some changes!
    Thank you!

    It is very rare for a project not to open after renaming the CPD and when it does, the HHP is the fallback. I cannot recall a project failing to open from the HHP, albeit with some damage.
    As Willam says, I think you are going to have to look at the article on my site.
    Many files have names based on the project name. Are they all correctly named? What I am getting at is whether a filename has got out of sync.

  • Quicktime works itunes will not load

    i get this message (this action only works for products that are currently installed.)

    i get this message (this action only works for products that are currently installed.)
    with that one, let's try the following procedure.
    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time? if so, does it launch properly?

  • WVC210 V1.1.1 - worked fine but now 'Video for other Platform/OS'

    I've had this camera for 2-3 years and no problem - now when I connect i get a black screen with the error 'Video for other Platform/OS' instead of a picture.  Could this be an IE 11 problem?  I've been running win7 - dont know when it upgraded from IE10 to IE11
    Is version 1.1.1 the latest for this camera?
    Thanks!         

    I have had the auto update box cleared and still when I opened IE today, 5-29-2014, instead of seeing my normal blank page I get some kind of one time welcome screen that I instantly navigated away from (control issues maybe).
    To the point - Even after trying to slacken the IE active x settings and add the camera addresses to the compatibility view list (why is that not static ?!?) I get the video for other platform/os text on a grey screen. During my many attempts adding cameras to different internet zones and stuff, I did get a snap shot of the video to appear but no streaming video and some of the controls are missing.
    The link to the solution has been edited and reflects that the user needed to revert back to IE 10.
    So I'm looking for help so that I can continue to use my great WVC 210 cameras.
    I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate by the way.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
