ITunes and Quicktime do not open anymore.

Hello, I have used iTunes and Quicktime for a long time and recently I updated my Quicktime software to the latest one. Now neither iTunes nor Quicktime open and no message come up after attempting to open either. I double-click, the hour glass comes up and then goes away, with nothing resulting. Please help me if you have the time. Thanx.

I was having this problem and found out about ewido, which is an anti-melware. The melware virus is causing this corruption with some itunes files, and ewido cleaned up several cookie files. My itunes is up and running for now until I go bck to itunes and pull up a file or download anything.
You can find it at ewido.net, and it is free to download.
Apple or itunes sure needs to get this corrected. Hope this helps you.

  • ITunes and QuickTime will not open

    I upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1 and the installation went fine. However, when I try to open iTunes by double-clicking on the desktop icon, a page pops up for less than a second and then goes away. I think the page might have something to do with a license agreement. I get no error messages. I also tried to open QuickTime to see if it works, but it does not. When I try double-clicking on the desktop icon, a page (different than the one that pops up for iTunes) comes up for less than a second. No error messages for QuickTime come up either. What can I do to get my iTunes and QuickTime to work?

    ... i think i might have already replied to you in a different thread, BNT ...
    ... but just in case i haven't, those are classic symptoms of a Qoologic adware infestation on a PC. the free trial version of Ewido has been catching and killing that for most folks:

  • Itunes and quicktime will not open properly

    My itunes freezes when opening and quicktime say there is a run time error. I have uninstalled everything and quicktime does not go away. then re-installed both and they still do not work. not sure what to do.

    I have uninstalled everything and quicktime does not go away
    what's the precise wording of the message that you're getting when you try to launch itunes?
    what is the wording on the message that you get when you try to uninstall QuickTime?
    (include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Both ITunes and Quicktime will not open

    I can't open either ITunes or Quicktime. Each time, I get the iTunes or QuickTime Player "has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I tried repairing both, was able to uninstall & reinstall iTunes but still get same error. Quicktime would not uninstall, removed it through Windows Install Clean Up, cannot re-install.
    Here are the errors:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.6.2.9 ModName: quicktimestreamingauthoring.qtx
    ModVer: 7.4.5.67 Offset: 0001685c

    P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
    And the one during the Quicktime install:
    Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeStreaming.Resources\ QuickTimeStreaming.Resources.qtr
    Verify if you have access to that directory
    Please help! I am pulling my hair out!

    I wish I had an answer for you; all I can say is, you're not alone. I've been unable to open iTunes (7.6.2) all day, and after reading your post, I tried QuickTime: yep, it only crashes, just like iTunes. FWIW, here's what I tried: restart, repair disk permissions, CD start, using Time Machine to restore iTunes 7.6.1 (now I have both that and 7.6.2, but neither works), calling Apple tech support (they want $49 to see if they can come up with something else).
    Also FWIW, this problem started this morning; last night, I upgraded Safari (3.1.1). I don't know why there'd be a connection, but...?

  • I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

    I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for 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.)

  • Itunes or quicktime will not open

    I just purchased ipod and I downloaded itunes. at first it worked correctly, then it stopped opening and quicktime will not open either. I have tried re-installing numerous times to no avail. All the error message says unknown error send or don't send to MS. I am starting to get frustrated over this. It has taken up so much time. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME????

    Hi Dave. Many thanks for your response. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstalled them and now I can open iTunes. I now have another problem. The music that is on my iPhone that was imported from my iTunes prior to resetting my Mac seems to be unavailable for me to play. It doesn't show up on my iPhone when it's not connected. But when I connect it to my Mac all the songs show up under the music tab of my iPhone but they are all light grey and when I click one an exclamation mark appears next to it. I've tried authorizing my account but that doesn't do anything.
    If you have any idea what the problem could be I would really gratefull.

  • After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. Iran

    After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.

    and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

  • ITunes and QuickTime will not work..Yeah, another one

    Despite my best efforts to try to solve my problem on my own and not both you kind people, I've been working on and off at trying to get my iTunes working, with no positive results at all. It's honestly been so long, I don't recall what might have sparked the issues, but every time I try to open iTunes or QuickTime they will begin to open but fail, bringing up the common windows error message:
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    So far, I have totally deleted both iTunes and QuickTime twice from my computer- first just through Add/Remove Programs pathways, then more in depth with Registry Crawler to try to remove any traces of the programs- all before re-installing the two programs. Both times have failed, still leaving me unable to open either program, so I've broken down and come here- hoping to find anyone willing to lend a hand to help fix this issue so that I can finally listen to my music the way I used to.

    Perfect information, thanks.
    That combination is almost always caused by some application stashing old QuickTime componentry down in your system files. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects, although some Games might do it too.)
    Let's go looking for the old stuff.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • 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:

    Windows can check online for a solution to the problem

  • Itunes and Quicktime won't open.

    I recently had a problem with Itunes, which deleted anything new I purchased or downloaded. I found out that if I rebuilt the library the problem could be solved, but I didn't want to risk losing any data so I didn't do it. I figured I'd wait for an update that would fix it and a couple days later I downloaded Itunes 7.3.1. The download did not go smoothly at all. During the course of it: it had to stop downloading and download both Itunes and Quicktime seperatly and it kept saying that my Quicktime was not up to date (something it's been saying for the last couple months). I've tried fixing that before, but when I do it prevents me from going into Itunes.
    Now after downloading 7.3.1 neither one of the programs will open. Itunes says, "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration." and Quicktime says, "Runtime Error! ... This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
    I'm starting to get really annoyed with Itunes, for the last couple months it's had nothing but problems. Can someone please help me.

    Hi Clyde33.
    Itunes says, "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration."
    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
    Quicktime says, "Runtime Error! ... This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."

  • ITunes and Quicktime will not launch

    I cannot get my iTunes or Quicktime to launch. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, upgraded, and tried several fixes that I found on this discussion board. No Luck! I'm using XP Pro SP3. When I first installed iTunes, it worked, but then quit working about 4 weeks later. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and Quicktime.

    The error message you are getting suggests that you do have one of the problem codec packs installed on your system or you have had in the past.
    Quicktime does not install Quicktime.cpl in the system32 directory.
    It is possible that one of them was installed without you knowing with other software, I think Storm may get installed with other things although I can't name anything.
    You must look for the things on my list and uninstall them if you find them. Check in Add/Remove programs to see if there is an entry there.
    When you have uninstalled the problem items go on to the next stage. If you can't find anything you had better go on as well.
    Download the stand alone Quicktime (the one without iTunes):
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method in this article (just Quicktime):
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

  • Itunes and quicktime will NOT install

    I have been trying to re-install itunes and now quicktime onto my computer.

    Next message is "error 1714" The older version of itunes cannot be removed. Contact tech support.
    Next message "error 1603" Fatal error during installation. consult window installer help (msi.chm) or MSDN for more info.
    I have looked for help on many posts and apple's site. I have tried to manually remove quicktime and itunes and it will not remove the old versions????
    Someone please help me!!!!

    windows installer has stopped working
    a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
    ... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
    Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?
