ITunes 6 won't work!!!

Hey there, I'm Dave from Canada...
I downloaded the newest version of iTunes with Quicktime 7 and as I tried to install it i received "Error Code -3" - Quicktime installation failed. After that I could not run iTunes anymore. I managed to downgrade to iTunes 4.something but then all the audio went mental and the sound won't work properly. I tried installing the standalone quicktime and I get Error 1714 - cannot remove old quicktime, etc. I have removed EVERYTHING and I still can't get quicktime to install...I'm very angry, cause I would like to update my ipod, but this has become impossible. Apple has been lackluster in giving support, since my "warranty" on my ipod is done.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!
Anything you guys can suggest would be great!
Thanks, Dave from Canada

Tried all of that, and nothing....I finally gave up and just reformatted my C: drive. That finally worked and my iPod is back! Yay! Now I can go to the gym again...
Thanks for all the help, however, and good luck helping others.
Dave!
By the way, Apple's policies on helping people with problems from iTunes/Quicktime suck and they can kiss my butt. I was completely frustrated when they suddenly stopped helping me when they realized the warranty on my iPod was done, regardless of the fact that I was actually getting help for iTunes/Quicktime, their free programs that they cannot charge an extended warranty for! Now I am going to question whether or not to buy another Apple product after this. I received better support here then from the "experts"

    my itunes won't work so i tried reinstalling and when it starts an error pops up that says:
    "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Itunes.msi' in the box below
    please help, its frustrating

    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 revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
           next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
        oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

    Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)
    Re: How do I turn off the compatibility mode for ITunes.
    Does that clear up the compatibility message?

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.
    Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
    I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
    Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
    \\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

  • IPod, iTunes won't work with each other

    I have spent the last 2 days trying to update my "new" nano. The first few times I synced it up no problem. Now that I've spent a small fortune on new music, the nano and iTunes won't work together at all.
    First, I have the most up-to-date version of iTunes. Next, I had the software update 1.1.3 for the nano all ready to go when I plugged it in. I hit the install new software button and dear god, if the nano didn't crap out and iTunes lost it and gave me a 1436 error. I had to disconnect the nano and reconnect. I tried several times, but finally gave up on updating the software.
    I went on to try to sync the nano and iTunes so I could at least listen to my music at work, but iTunes now says I'm not authorized to play ANY of my purchased music (recently purchased or stuff I've had on there for years) on my computer so it won't copy it onto my nano. So I deauthorize and reauthorize my computer several times, I've read every possible troubleshooting/solution guide I can find on the site and NOTHING works. I can play all my purchased music in iTunes once I've reauthorized my computer, but as soon as I plug my nano in - forget about it - "You are not authorized to play this music on this computer" crap. And I can't even restore the nano b/c I get that stupid 1436 error - and believe me I tried everything those help pages suggest.
    I'm at a loss here and not in the least bit happy with this thing.

    Problem solved. The harddisk was formatted and Windows and iTunes re-installed. Hopefully this problem won't appear very soon.

  • ICal Crashing after startup; iTunes won't work

    My problem is twofold:
    My iCal calender (desktop) crashes upon opening every time. I reinstalled Tiger (from "not for resale discs" supplied by Apple). It did not fix the crashing; I still can't use iCal. Now, iTunes won't work with this installation of Mac OSX.
    I deleted iCal and reinstalled the OS again and I have the same results. Coincidentally, this crash happened after I upgraded to the iPhone 3Gs.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Can't deinstall Quicktime. Itunes won't work anymore..

    Hi
    I'm having problems with my itunes / quicktime. It all started off when I wanted to open Itunes and I got a message that I need to update quicktime 6.5.2 to 7.1 or higher. Then I tried reinstalling Itunes hoping it would put the new quicktime on. Didnt work.. so I tried installing only quicktime.. and now - Itunes won't work (if I click the Icon it just does nothing).. reinstalling or deinstalling and then reinstalling doesn't help.. AND I can't deinstall quicktime. I always get a fatal error at the end of the deinstallation process..
    Can someone help me? I would really like to update my Ipod..
    Thanks for your answers..

    (blush) thank you kindly, Kirk. that means an awful lot coming from you.
    although there's always a burst of reports of Codec Pack issues when the minimum version of QT required for an itunes version goes up, we've had a decided uptick in reports of problems that turned out to be related to them this time.
    the combined symptom set that i always check for Codec Pack issues with is:
    "itunes has encountered a problem" error message when launching itunes.
    error-message-free QuickTime launch failure.
    QuickTime won't uninstall from Add/Remove Programs.
    just this weekend, i managed to confirm it's worth checking for a Codec Pack issue if people get the following message (or the English equivalent) when trying to open their QT control panel:
    Une exception s'est produite lors de la tentative d'execution de
    "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
    "C:\WINDOWS\system32\quicktime.cpl",QuickTime"
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4476095#4476095
    (other more standard varieties of broken QuickTimes can produce these symptoms, but the Codec Packs add complications to the treatment for them, so it's worth checking on the presence of a Codec Pack fairly early on in proceedings.)

  • I tried to update iTunes but then it won't recongnize my itouch.. Then my itouch had to be restored it said... Now it is a new iPod and iTunes won't work with it anymore.. P.lease help!

  • ITunes won't work after updating to iOS 8.3

    After updating to iOS 8.3 my iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air now both don't work.
    If I go to play an sample of a song, the little square box with the cover on spins around and then spins back around and no music will play.  I'm all so unable to play any music that I've already purchased via iTunes on my iOS devices.
    Any comments on what could be causing this?
    All so, on another note.  My friend has just updated to IOS 8.3 and he just noticed that he no longer even has the iTunes App on his iPhone 5.
    Thanks.

    After posting this, I've since found out that my iOS iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus works all OK when on WiFi, it just won't work when on the data/3/4G connection.
    Anybody else having this same issue since updating to iOS 8.3?

  • My itunes won't work after i downloaded Itunes version 7.6.1

    When i downloaded itunes version 7.6.1 it asked me if i wanted it to restart my computer or restart it myself i said restart my self and after i restarted it i looked and the regular icon for itunes wasn't there. it was different and then i tried clicking on it to open it but when i do a box pops up and it says "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed" what does that mean? and how can i fix it so my itunes works?

    This one is easy. The shortcut is for the old iTunes, that is why it won't work.
    I assume you are using Windows.
    If so, go to the bottom left of your screen and click the start button. Go up to programs and hold your cursor over it. A list of all your programs should pop up to the right. Move the curso over to iTunes. There should be an "about iTunes" and an iTunes logo there. Right click on the iTunes logo and click create shortcut (you can also just drag it out to your desktop). That will give you a desktop shortcut for your new version.

  • Itunes won't work after upgrade

    ok, i'm an idiot and upgraded to itunes 6.0. before today everything was working great, then after the upgrade itunes won't open anymore. any help would be great!!!

    I am having the same problem - if anyone knows what the problem is I would appreciate it.

  • Itunes won't work anymore...even with reinstall

    Hello everybody, I hope you can help. I am working from a laptop which had itunes installed AND working with no problems for more than a year. All of a sudden itunes won't load. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, done a system restore...all to no avail. Can ANYBODY shed light on this? The message I get when I try to open itunes says "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" I am hoping some of you have had this problem and have a workable solution. Thanks!

    hiya!
    Rachyl's right about checking for malware. but you might also have some damage to your existing QuickTime caused by malware. (sometimes i've seen this message show up after people install Ace Mega Codec Packs too ... that does funny things to QT 7.0.3 and 7.0.4.)
    try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.4 standalone 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.
    Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b

  • ITunes won't work and freezes up the whole computer!

    I upgraded to the new 7.0 iTunes and for about 10 minutes it worked fine. I then changed my library view to the screen the shows the "jukebox-like" images of the album cover. Just a couple of minutes in that view froze my entire computer and now iTunes will not work at all! I've tried uninstalling the program and then reinstalling it and I've gotten nowhere! I don't get any error messages either. iTunes will open but it will show up with a completely black screen and the only thing showing is the part at the bottom right hand corner where the album artwork should be. I've been trying to figure this out, but I can't! Does anyone have any suggestions?

    i tried reinstalling itunes and then this message popped up: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below".
    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:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes won't work with Windows Vista

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem. When I open itunes I get the error message saying 'itunes has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem'. Then sometimes it pops up telling me that itunes has an update that will stop this from happening, but that just takes me to the itunes download page. Sometimes it tells me that DEP has stopped it from working but I can't turn this off for itunes. When I go to the event log I get the following info:

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and tried to repair it several times. I've also uninstalled quicktime and reinstalled it and it's working fine. I've restarted my computer several times as well!
    I have Vista 32 bit.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I've been on these forums for ages looking for a solution, but it seems like most people solved the problem by just reinstalling quicktime.
    Thanks
