Itunes and quicktime for windows ( HELP )

I just purchased a ipod w/color display and installed the software on my pc (DELL w/windows XP).every time I click on the itunes or quicktime icon the start page flashes up for a brief second and is gone. I can not get it to work after that. I have went through msconfig and reset my startup settings whic will allow me to bring up the itunes screen, but if I close the application I can not get it back. I now can not delete the itunes/quicktime software so I can try to reinstall it.PLEASE HELP

he first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.

Downloading iTunes and Quicktime for Windows XP

I had problems with iTunes and unloaded it. Now when I try to reload iTunes, I get an error message about QuickTime:
"Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerAPP\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
Then the whole download rolls back and I end up without anything.
How do I fix this?

Weird Colours in Itunes and Quicktime for Movies

Hi there,
Whenever I play videos in Itunes and Quicktime, all I can see are weird blurry colours on the screen although the sound works perfectly fine. The same thing happens when I try to play the movie trailers on the apple site...I have to open the trailer at least 5 times before it produces the proper image for the video, but that trick doesn't work for Itunes...these videos work perfectly fine on my Ipod however, it's just on Itunes and Quicktime they are blurry colours.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.

does anyone else have this problem?

ITunes and Quicktime issue (Please Help)

So last night I download the update for iTunes. Everything seemed to be going fine, I didn't have any problems. This morning I turn on my computer and try to run iTunes and it gives me an error message, an dwon't even open iTunes. Not only that, I can't run any Quicktime file, it gives me the same message. I downloaded the installer again and attempted to repair iTunes. It said I was sucessful, but when I tried opening iTunes or Quicktime the error still appeared. This is really frustrating, this is what I get for updating? Someone please help!

you'll probably want to run the standalone quicktime install
also, what is the error message that you are getting?

HT1926 I've successfully updated itunes and quicktime on windows XP but itunes won't run properly, the video tutorial loses audio after about 1-2 minutes and when I plug in my iphone 4s to sync the whole thing freezes, any ideas?

Hi everyone,
was prompted to upgrade itunes on my PC and also upgrade the software on my iphone 4s.Went through as usual but took 3 goes to get a successful upgrade of itunes on the PC. Then was prompted to update quick time, this was done successfully.
Thought I'd look at the tutorial video for itunes - the sound went off 11/2 minutes into it, then I couldn't stop it. I had a quick look around itunes and decided to sync my phone. The program recognised the phone then everything froze. Windows message for a non responding program came up and had to pull out of the program. So far after several hours I have not been able to get beyond stage 2 of 7 of syncing the phone; it keeps freezing up at different stages.
Any ideas?? I haven't had this kind of trouble before with any other version of itunes.
Cheers

Still nothing? Wow... maybe the quality of this discussion board really has gone down. Dissappointed.

I installed the new itunes so i could buy some movies but when i went too open it it said error- cannot open file need quicktime 7.1.3 too run - so I reinstalled it 3 times and it didn't work, so then i just intalled quicktime 7.1.3 and it still didn't work. So now i cant use itunes.

here's what we'll try first with that one.
first, completely remove your existing itunes and quicktime using the instructions from the following document:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
second, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to check for any leftover itunes or quicktime installation configuration information. if you find any, remove it with CleanUp.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
now restart the PC. download and save a copy of the itunes 7.0.1.8 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.
iTunes 7.0.1.8 Installer
if that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try to launch itunes again. does it launch okay this time, or do you get an error message? if you get an error message, what does it say this time?

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 are dead

I've been using iTunes and QuickTime for over a year with no significant trouble.
Now, when I run iTunes, it won't launch. After a few seconds, I get a Windows error report popup that says:
"iTunes ahs encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the invonvenience." And it asks me to send an error report to tell Microsoft about this problem.
I tried installing Itunes 7.0.1 but that didn't help. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but still no joy.
Also, now when I try to run QuickTime, nothing happens. If I monitor processes in Windows Task Manager, I can see it start, but then it goes away again.
I tried the stereo headphones fix in the FAQ at the top of this forum, but that didn't help. I tried deleting the iTunes folder under Docs & Settings\Owner\Application Data\Apple Computer but that didn't help either.
Any other suggestions? Short of formatting my hard drive and starting again? I am at my wits' end.
BTW, the problems started after I used the Gateway Recovery disk to do a non-destructive recovery, to fix an (apparently) unrelated problem (which fix, unforunately, didn't work).
Auuugh! I am addicted to podcasts and use my computer for hours every day. I am tearing my hair out!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Also, now when I try to run QuickTime, nothing happens. If I monitor processes in Windows Task Manager, I can see it start, but then it goes away again.
hmmmm. i've seen a couple of those sets of symptoms now (on 7.0.0.70). there's a couple of things that are probably worth trying with it, and some experiments that are worth pursuing.
the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1.3 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1.3 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 7.1.3 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
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.)

Unable to download the latest version of iTunes (11.1) for Windows XP

I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes (11.1) for Windows XP. When I click on download from the Apple iTunes Support site (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ), no file is downloaded from Apple. What gives? And yes, I did check the Downloads area as well as running a file search on the system so please do not ask.
Also, in browser debug mode, it gives me the URL https://secure-appldnld.apple.com/iTunesSetup.exe but there is no file available.

Trying to install Quicktime for Windows XP and iTunes...help!

I am working to set up iTunes and Quicktime on a brand new Dell laptop running Windows xp. I downloaded iTunes, when I try to open it I get a windows error message that it has to close. When I try to open Quicktime, I get an error message that the "plugin did not initialize properly" and "the plugin was found, but an error in the plugin has occured." I have also received the following error message when trying to launch Quicktime from the list of programs installed: "Quicktime failed to initialize error #-2095"
Thank you for trying to help me..I just want iTunes back!!

"Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
