Itunes 7 fails to install - QuickTime problem.

I successfully used an earlier Itunes with an Ipod 1GB Nano. My new 2GB Nano (courtesy of Netgear promotion!) demanded V7 which I downloaded and tried to install. There were many errors installing Quicktime, but one was
"Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINES\software\classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuicktimePlayerApp\CLSID"
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
I accessed myself (8-)# I tried running regedit, but that key and all the other "QuickTime" "software/classes/" keys gave the same error. I tried right clicking to set permissions, but although the list comes up, I cannot enable any of them.
I even tried safe mode, but all those entries are give similar errors. I have now deleted all references to "QuickTime" in the registry except the inaccessible ones, and the "Program Files" directory, but installation gives the same errors.
The result is that Itunes will not install, and I am unable to use my new Ipod.
A Google search finds no-one with similar problems.
Any ideas?

I am answering this blind as I did not realise I would not have access to the previous posting! Thanks for responding.
There is no version number of the installer under properties, but it says "V7" when run, and was downloaded earlier today (38,808,256 bytes) from the Apple site (as linked to by my then presumably working Itunes).
I see exactly my problem is in http://forums.vnunet.com/thread.jspa?threadID=93546&tstart=0
and unresolved.
I rolled back Windows to yesterday (and then the day before), and now find I cannot even uninstall either Quicktime or Itunes. The "Add or Remove programs" utility starts its progress bar and then quits with no report. I tried a re-install of the only previous installation of Itunes and it reported "You have a later version of Itunes installed" (meaning presumably V7) The Itunes I have on disk will not run "Files missing". This I suppose must be due to the failed installation of V7, which System Restore has failed to undo.
I tried then the V7 install again, and got:
"QuickTime failed to install Error #-2903"
and later
"Error 1905 c:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTOControl.dll
Hresult -2147220472"
... and then followed by three or four registry errors in HKEYLOCALMACHINES\SOFTWARE\Classes\ including the one I started this thread with. All these registry items are inaccesible under regedit ("Error opening key").
I am now in a position that I cannot go back or forward and still cannot link my IPOD to Itunes.
Is Itunes the only program that can transfer music?
It seems that one cannot simply copy, as firstly there is no "music" folder, and when it is done in a kosher way, the filenames are changed to an internal format, with the real names in a database.
It looks like Apple are managing to stop loads of other people using their new IPODs. I would ask for my money back if it wasn't a gift from Netgear (8-)#

ITunes upgrade fails due to QuickTime

I tried to upgrade my iTunes to version 9.3.xx. Unfortunately the upgrade failed. The application since then is not opened and the following error message appeared.
“Error writing the file c:\Program Files\Quick Time\QTTask.exe
Verify that you have access to that directory”
I followed all the support suggestions uninstalling all the Apple applications and re-installed them back but with no luck. The above message appears every time iTune is trying to install QuickTime and as iTunes needs QuickTime the whole upgrade fails.
Any suggestion how I can solve this issue?

“Error writing the file c:\Program Files\Quick Time\QTTask.exe ... Verify that you have access to that directory”
That's consistent with disk/file damage, Markos.
Let's first try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's instructions and a guided help in the following Microsoft document:
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, are you able to successfully reinstall QuickTime afterwards?

When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems), I get the error message 2324. What should I do to reinstall the application?

When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems; iTune error message states it cannot sync and that I should reinstall the application; also, it fails when I tried to upgrade to the latest release), I get the error message 2324. What should I do to reinstall the application?

That installer error is a "Can't open file" error
It suggest that you may have a corrupt file.
Try running a disk check
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
If it fixes errors try uninstalling iTunes again.
If that doesn't work, is it possible for find out the name of the problem file, is further information available? Try looking in your Action center - that's on the control panel. Another place is in the Windows Error logs. From the start menu , right click on "Computer" and select manage, then Event viewer.
If nothing emerges, try a manual uninstall of iTunes and related programs according to this method:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Don't worry if an uninstall fails, that is expected. Go on to the part where you have to delete files (2. Verify iTunes etc completely deleted) . Hopefully you manage to find a file that can't be deleted, that is the one we will need to deal with.

Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Since a few weeks all my iTunes Updates fail to install. After the installation trial, the previous installation is damaged – a service is missing.

To fix this I have to deinstall all components of Apple Software in exact order as you reveal on your web site. Than reinstall iTunes from Scratch.

Hi,
to see the cause of Windows 8 update failures, we must look for error messages in the following log files:
Please run the Windows Explorer and go to the folder "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\" and copy all files to your document folder, also copy the setupapi.dev.log from the folder C:\Windows\Inf, the "C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log" and the file "C:\Windows\winsxs\poqexec.log"
to your document folder (otherwise you can't upload it), zip all files into 1 ZIP and upload the zip to your SkyDrive [1] and post a link here.

After Update ITUNES Won't Open, Apparent Quicktime Problem, PLEASE HELP

I Have recently updated my Itunes, after installation of the updates I was unable to access itunes due to a problem with Quicktime. After trying to repair quicktime, with no luck, I have uninstalled (following Apple’s support system). There were two programs labelled “Apple Application Support”, one allowed me to delete and the other older one didn’t delete and came up with the prompts below, so I just installed itunes/quicktime again. The same response happened when trying to open itunes. So I followed Apple’s support system and deleted all I could again. What was left is below, any help would be extremely useful.
In “Uninstall or Change a Program” of windows 7, I was unable to delete Version 1.1.0 which is 32.3 MB installed on the 03/03/2010 of the Apple Application Support.
*When deleting it comes up with a box 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 ‘appleApplicationSupport.msi’ in the below box.+
C:UsersSeanAppDataLocalTempIXP722.TMP
I could only follow the path to the “Temp” part …\IXP722.TMP does not exist in that folder.
_Any Help with this problem would be Greatly appreciated._

This kind of problem often responds to using the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility. Here is a method:
== uninstall with cleanup ==
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/
Save the files on your PC.
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. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista and Windows 7
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.

ITunes "Send Error Report" Message/Quicktime Problem

This is a problem that has only occured after I updated my iTunes to 7.0.2. Some songs in my library, and all of my videos that I have bought through the Music store cause the "Send Error Report" message to come up and iTunes closes down immediately.
I read another thread that a similar problem was occuring to a customer, and one of the admins requested him to un-install Quicktime and delete 2 files out of the registry. Then re-install quicktime through the "Repair" section of the iTunes installer. I followed these steps and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then they were "re-corrupted" I guess after I restarted my computer.
Do you have any idea what would be wrong? I know it is not spyware/viruses because I have several programs to check/delete them.
Thanks for your help

Bump for the 3rd time.
Quicktime will not even open, on a sidenote. It starts to load, then I hear some sort of beep..then it closes. I have tried re-installing multiple times and the problem continues.

Itunes 11 failing to install on Windows 8.1

I recently tried to update my Itunes prompted by Apple Update program. Since then Itunes fails to install. My question is why did Aplle prompt me to update a software package that will not work when the initial version was working fine.
I did not see any need for updating and now I can not synchronise my iPAD with my PC.
I notice similar problems from many people.
Can someone at Apple please provide a working solution to this problem

ITunes Sync failed to install error

Hello everyone,
I'm fairly new to Apple forums, so please excuse the informalities and possible lack of information. The other day, I restored my iPhone from a backup made that same day. During the restore, I encountered this error numerous times: iTunes Sync: "xxxx" failed to install, where xxxx is the name of the app. This happened with numerous apps that I had opened that day, as well as with apps that I have not opened in some time. I am running a Windows 7 machine with iOS 6.1.3 installed on my iPhone. All of my other data (texts, call logs) seem to be transferring normally. I've tried restarting both devices, and have also tried to restore my iPhone numerous times since this happened several days ago, with no luck. It seems to be a problem with the app stored in iTunes - I can successfully run the app if I download it from the app store. That method isn't optimal because savegames and other saved files don't exist (within the newly downloaded apps). Does anyone have a solution to this issue, or has experienced a similar problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

hello,
same problems happend to me also. an error "Fifa 12 HD" failed to install. anybody with the solutions? we need help.
thanks,
Shy

ITunes not fully installed - quicktime problem

Okay, this is driving me nuts. I attempted to upgrade itunes. When it was installing I got the error message "old verison of quick time cannot be removed" I tired installing the upgrade of quick time and got the same message. I also tried to reload my origional verision of itunes, rerun the upgrade and still got the same message. I have a dell inspiron 8200 with windows xp. Can someone help, in plan simple language, since I am not a computer person? Thanks

Yes
In that case, let's try the following procedure.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those QuickTime entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
(5) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(6) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes 7.5 update. Does it go through properly?

Update iTunes to 10.2.2: Quicktime problem.

When I try to update iTunes to 10.2.2 it won't install - I get an error message telling me that the installation of Quicktime failed, and iTunes requires Quicktime.
I have just separately downloaded and installed the latest version of Quicktime, that worked without problem, but iTunes still won't update with the same error message. Any ideas why Quicktime will install on its own but not as aprt of the iTunes package?

I was having the same issue on my 64-bit laptop, and using the download-only version from the apple software updater didn't solve the problem, but going into Quicktime, and looking for updates there did solve the problem. I would recommend giving that a try.

Failing to install Quicktime

I have just bought an IPod Classic. I encounter a number of errors when loading Quicktime/Itunes. The errors are as follows
Error 1905 Module C|;ProgramFiles\Quicktime\QTOControl.DLL failed to unregister
This is followed by similar messages on QTOLibrary, QTUIPanel Control and QTSystem\Quicktimecheck.ocx
in all cases the errors have the text HResult -2197220472 Contact your support personnel
At the end of the process the following is displayed
HKEYLocalMachine\Software|Classes|Quicktimeplayerlib.QuickyimePlayerApp\CLSID
Verify that you have sufficent access to that key.
Any idea what is happening ?

HKEYLocalMachine\Software|Classes|Quicktimeplayerlib.QuickyimePlayerApp\CLSID ... Verify that you have sufficent access to that key.
I'm assuming you've got full administrative privileges in the user account you're getting that in.
If so, working through the options, starting with the simplest.
(1) Sometimes that particular variety of key error (CLSID) can occur if you're installing the QuickTime version in a different admin user account from one in which an earlier version of QuickTime is installed. If so, try logging out of the current user account (best not to use Fast user switching) and then logging in to the account from which the earlier version of QuickTime was installed, and trying the install of the later version of QuickTime from inside there.
(2) If QuickTime is returning a CLSID key error from inside whatever admin account you try the install from, try heading into regedit and checking to make sure you have full permissions on the Key that is throwing the error.
(3) If all the permissions appear to be in order or if Regedit isn't allowing you to open the relevant keys, then this can indicate a problem with the ACLs (access control lists) on the keys in your registry.
Under those circumstances, the technique from the following weblog entry has been of assistance with fixing recalcitrant CLSID key errors:
Aaron Stebner's WebLog: Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions

Itunes wont open, not a quicktime problem

i have looked everywhere, tried everything. My quicktime will open but my itunes wont. i click it and my curser stalls like it is about to open but never does. sometimes that white agreement box flashes but goes away without a chance to read or click it. please help! also because i didnt have itunes for so long i got desperate and tried yahoo, but i have a video ipod and somehow yahoo changed the format of my ipod so now i have nothing in movies. and all the shows and movies previously in my ipod are now only sound/song files under artist/album/etc. im hoping once i get itunes back it will straighten everthing out.

hi k3kristaaa!
i have looked everywhere, tried everything. My quicktime will open but my itunes wont. i click it and my curser stalls like it is about to open but never does. sometimes that white agreement box flashes but goes away without a chance to read or click it.
hmmmmmmmm.
you're actually getting an odd mix of symptoms here for an "error-message-free" itunes launch suppression.
the "flash" of the license screen is associated with Qoologic adware. but if you had that, your quicktime shouldn't be launching.
with the Norton Internet Security 2005 launch suppression problems, folks can sometimes get their QT to launch, but that isn't typically associated with the "flash".
so i'm going to doublecheck a few things before proceeding.
(1) are you getting an error message or no error messages whatsoever? if you're getting an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
(2) have a look in your TEMP directory. typically to do that you'll need to adjust your view settings on the PC. for instructions, see the "Empty your Temp directory and restart" section in this document:
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
... do you see a seven character filename with a .tmp extension in there? the first three characters will be letters. the last four will be numbers or the letters A through F.
(we're checking here for a W32.Pinfi infection, which can produce error-message-free itunes launch failures with an erratic mix of symptoms.)
