I have also tried to install quicktime separately and nothing seems to work.
did you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall? if so, what did it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
which QT installer did you download from the QT installer download page? was it called QuickTimeInstaller.exe, or iTunesSetup.exe? (the former is a standalone QT installer, and the latter is an itunes/QT installer bundle.)

  • ITunes won't install because Quicktime won't

    I had QT on my computer, the latest version, and I tried to download iTunes and it says "Quicktime will not install. iTunes needs Quicktime to run." and the only option I have is to close.
    I removed QT and tried to install QT w/ iTunes, same error.
    I tried then to just install iTunes. same error
    I put QT back on alone, tried iTunes again, same error.
    If anyone can help before I have to return my new ipod because of software issues that would be cool. thanks.

    with that one, let's try getting an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

    iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
    I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
    This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
    Thank you.

    My phone is the iPhone4 and my computer is a Windows Vista

    I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
    Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

  • ITunes won't install because of Quicktime?

    When I tried to install iTunes, it went through the installation, but at the very end, it quit and i got a message saying,
    The installation of Quicktime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires Quicktime.
    The problem is, though, that I had just installed Quicktime less than an hour ago. Is there any other reason that iTunes will not install? Thanks.

    I'm going through the SAME ****. I install Itunes and quicktime seems to go ok until the end of the installation and then all **** breaks loose. Some error comes up saying that I can't install it. THEN It says the installation finished successfully. So I click finish and what happends now is that it specifies that I need to update my quicktime to open itunes... I dont care about Quicktime, i want itunes to work, anyone have a link to an older STANDALONE version of itunes? Where you don't need quicktime?

  • ITunes will not open because Quicktime!help!

    I clicked on the iTunes icon on my computer and a message pops up saying "Quick time is required to run iTunes.Please reinstall iTunes" and all u can do is press ok! how can i open my itunes???

    Oops! The same thing happened to me recently. I removed Quicktime from my computer using the Add/Remove Program button in the control panel; I didnt realise that you need Quicktime for iTunes to work. To solve the problem you need to reinstall Quicktime - you can dwnload it from the apple website by itself - or download all of iTunes again - it comes with Quicktime. If you do this youwont loose any of your iTunes library, because you will be updating rather than starting again.
    Good luck

  • Help! Itunes will not install because it cannot access and HKEY

    Error reads as follows:
    Coult not open key:
    HkeyLOCALMACHINES\software\classes\QuicktimePlayerLib.QuicktimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    I ran regedit and found that this Hkey does not exist in the registry.
    I just bought this Nano. Why won't Apple help me with the install. At this point I feel like taking this piece of junk back to the store and buying a piece of hardware that is not dependent on a piece of software that cannot even be installed.

  • ITunes won't install because an older version of iTunes cannot be removed

    I'm running on Windows XP.
    I had tried to update my iTunes a few days ago and it was failing because it complained about iTunes.msi. I tried to uninstall and it had the same complain. So I manually removed it and started to remove all references to apple and iTunes in my registry. After that, it no longer showed up in my add/remove applications but if I try to install iTunes (latest or an older version), it complains that it can't install because it can't remove an older version of iTunes.
    I downloaded Windows Install Clean Up, but it doesn't list iTunes in there or anything that looks like it might be it. I've tried a number of registry cleaners but still no luck. Any ideas? It's obviously finding some information about my old iTunes install in there somewhere, but it can't figure out how to remove it. I wish it had some kind of debugging mode where it would tell me why it thinks I have iTunes installed still.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Ace ... I try not to post links to alternate locations for CleanUp downloads, because that tends to lead to the download location being shut down. (Happened twice for me the day after it was removed from the Microsoft Downloads Center.)
    Assuming you've got trouble with an iTunes .msi file, here's a copy of my now-standard spiel on hunting down, installing and using CleanUp:
    These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 9.2 again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Can't upgrade to iTunes 10.3.1 because quicktime won't work

    I attempted to upgrade to iTunes 10.3.1 but it won't work because "quicktime failed." How do I upgrade now?

    Update to 10.5.1. Itunes 10.2.1 is out of date by now and won't be possible.  Update to the newest version and you shouldn't have a problem

  • ITunes 7.0.2. wont install because Quicktime wont install

    I've been trying to install iTunes 7.0.2 on my computer for WEEKS but the installation always encountered a problem: the programme always stopped just as it was computing Sapce requirements for Quicktime. An error message saying "Invalid drive: U:/" appeared and then "Cannot install QuickTime. ITunes requires Quicktime" or something like that. And then the installation aborted. There isnt a drive U: on my computer and I didn't understand why this was occuring.
    My brother had been suffering from a similar problem, whereby installation always failed under the same circumstances only asking for a (valid) network path on another computer of his (it asked for //Computer/My Documents instead of U:) He managed to solve the error by connecting to the network path and re-running the installer.
    The solution to my problem was much the same. I got a USB flashdrive, plugged it in an using the Disk Manager
    (Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Manager Right click on the USB disk and select Change Drive letter) created a disk U:
    Problem solved.

    I'm trying to figure out if this was a problem with my computer or something to do with the iTunes 7.0.2 installer.
    My computer met all the system requirements (256RAM, 500MHz processor - I actually installed extra RAM to see if it would solve the problem!) when the problem was occuring. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

  • ITunes will not install because my Computer is missing a file QuickTime.msi

    Hello, I have uninstalled all my apple files except those for QuickTime because it needs QuickTime.msi. Installing iTunes fails for the same reason. I have searched all of my C Drive and it does not exist. My laptop was originally running Vista and perhaps upgrading to Windows 7 is somehow involved? Can anybody put me on the right track?

    This problem can often be fixed with the Microsoft Insaller cleanup utility.
    Unfortunately The Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been with drawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
    Google msicuu2.exe download
    mydidgitallife has a copy of version 3
    Check for malware before installing it.
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install
    You may need to use "Run as Adminsitrator" if you get an error trying to run it.
    I would try to uninstall all iTunes related programs using this method:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    This will allow you to find which ones will not uninstall. Then use the Cleanup utilty to remove those programs
    Then try installing iTunes again.

  • ITunes won't install because there is already a newer version of Quicktime

    I am trying to install the new version of iTunes, but halfway through the installation process a message comes up that says there is already a newer version of Quicktime installed and iTunes cannot be updated. I tried many things like uninstalling Quicktime but this did not work. How can I get iTunes installed?

    Hello lberle
    Check to see if you are up to date on iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update and update it if it needs it. Then update Pages one that is done by going to the App Store.

    If anyone can help w\this, please respond. My ITunes crashed a couple of mnths ago and I've been tryin to reinstall ever since w\out any success and am getting very frustrated. It will install onto my computer and my desktop (shows that it and Quicktime were both installed successfully), but when I try to access iTunes it tells me "Quicktime is required and unavailable", but when I access Quicktime, it comes up just fine????!!! What am I doing wrong?? What do I need to do to get iTunes back in my system??? I've tried everything from installing them together to installing them seperatly and also "saving" to computer and installing manually. Please help, if anyone can.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who response.

  • ITunes won't open because Quicktime was not found!

    This is the first time this error came up, when i open iTunes, an error comes up saying "QuickTime Unavaliable" and how i have to uninstall iTunes and install it again... Well i did that a million times and uninstall quicktime and installed quicktime over and over and over and over agaim and this error keeps popping up!!! I NEED HELP!!! This error has no number, it just says i need to uninstall tinues and reinstall it!

    If you definitely have a working QuickTime but iTunes thinks that you7 do not, then this points to a particular type of error.
    Do you have a computer that has been set up for a work network? You may find that iTunes works OK when the computer is connected to the network but doesn't at home when not connected.
    There are other possibilities, but this is a common one.
    If I have guessed right, the problem lies in the %path% environment variable. In order to look at its contents, could you do the following:
    Type:
    cmd
    into your search box and click cmd under Programs.
    The black cmd window will open.
    Next copy&paste the following into the cmd window and press return:
    echo %path% >documents\path.txt
    This will place the contents of the %path% variable in a text file called Path in (My) Documents.
    Could you copy&paste this text file into your next post so I can look at it.
    (Use ctrl V to paste into the editor, right click doesn't work.)
