Itunes and quicktime icons gone after update

hi
my friend and i both just recently updated our itunes to the latest and greatest version.

the are like a blank icon, just not the correct icon.
sometimes when i click on the programs the icon appears but then goes away, and this is happening to my friend as well.

its a problem with the root files, everyone has it, dont worry, just wait for and update...
and you're wrong, its the worst iTunes ever, it doesn't even deserve the name, havent you heard the issues with it, start looking!!!

  • ITunes and QuickTime stopped working after an upgrade...

    I have been pulling my hair out trying to get my iTunes working again. Here is what I have done already in order:
    1. Does not work regardless of user (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856)
    2. Tried running with changes to MSCONFIG
    - Ran according to Apple Support Web Site (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538)
    - Ran in Diagnostics mode
    - Ran in /SAFEMODE
    3. Uninstalled and removed from any reference from registry
    4. Removed iTunes configuration files (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386)
    5. Installed WinInspector Spy and launched iTunes to see what happened. Unfortunately I have not figured out how to copy and paste the log, but it shows the iTunes window class being created, a bunch of other stuff, then the OfficeWatson class, stuff and then the infamous "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" message. After hitting the Send Error Report, I see the OfficeWatson window being destroyed and that is it. This leads me to believe that the problem is somehow with the outlook integration between iTunes and Windows? So I looked in my Add/Remove programs and sure enough Office and Outlook were upgraded the day after the last time i was able to use iTunes. So I tried uninstalling Office, iTunes and QuickTime. QuickTime refused to uninstalled claiming a fatal error. I then forcably removed it as described in the apple knowledge paper. Another interesting point, when I ran QuickTime, nothing happens, not even a crash message. When I run QuickTime Preferences from the system tray, the dialog shows, but when I click on the FileTypes tab, I get a RUNDLL error: "An exception occurred while trying to run "Shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl".
    I also tried running StraceNtX.exe against it, but it doesnt create the right environment for iTunes (it thinks it is Windows 2000 and does have the right service pack).
    PLEASE can someone help? This is the second time this has happened to me. The first time was on another computer that came with a "real" restore point (not the stupid one Windows has that does not work) and I solved it by simply restoring back in time. This time I do not have that option!
    ARGH - I really do not want to have to use Media Player.
    Is there a way to force a stack trace? I am a UNIX programmer and not familiar with Windoze.

    It sounds as though things have got pretty screwed up. If you couldn't clean things up properly with the MS installer cleaup, there is thread on cleaning up uninstall information in the registry.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3637190&#3637190
    I am not sure that I have anything more to offer as you appear to have done most things. Have you tried turning off all security software while doing the install, and doing the MSconfig thing with just Quicktime. Presumably your system is free of malware?
    As a matter of interst, what happens if you have the task manager running when you start Quicktime, does it start and then stop, or keep running or not start at all?
    A few people seem to have these intractable problems and the forum expert on this has been away since christmas, but you could try searching the forum for "b noir" posts about install/launch problems.

  • TV, Movie, and Podcast Favorites Gone after Update?

    Has anyone else noticed their "Favorites" gone after updating to the latest software? I did also unplug and do some traveling over the weekend so I'm not sure what exactly caused it but I had to add all my favorites again. I suspect the update did it. Did this happen to anyone else?

    same problem here!!!!!

  • ITunes and Quicktime not running after upgrade

    After installing iTunes 5 I get the following error message when launching it:
    'The instruction at "0xf4800000" referenced memory at "0xf4800000". The memory could not be "read".'
    When trying to run a quicktime clip embedded in a Acrobat document I get the message:
    'QuickTime Streaming Extras failed to load because the versions od QuickTime Streaming and QuickTime Streaming Extras do not match.'
    If I try to uninstall or reinstall QuickTime I get:
    'Error Number: 0x80040707
    Description: DLL Function call crashed: QTInstallCode. QuickTimeUnInstallProc..'
    The rest of the message is cut off.

    well done, Ryan!
    "From the command prompt run the following:
    msiexec.exe /unregister
    msiexec /regserver "
    good gracious ... you had to do that to get the Cleanup utility to install?
    prior to the new versions of the Windows Installer coming out, i only had to use that trick
    b once
    to get past an itunes installer error (and i only remember it because it showed up in an almost unique situation where you have to treat the last error in a chain of itune installer errors first) ... but you're about the third or fourth person reporting success with it in the past
    b week.
    it's a rarer sort of problem, still. but the latest Windows Installer updates just don't seem to have been sticking as well as earlier ones.
    many thanks for reporting back!

  • I'm unable to drag mp4 movies into itunes and sync with ipad after updating to 10.5.2.11 version. I'm using windows 7? I was able to in the previous version, why?

    Im unable to drag mp4 movies into itunes and sync to my ipad2 after updating itunes to 10.5.2.11? Im using Windows7. I was able to before this update, why?

    I see same question with itunes not accepting mp4 videos and no answers? Has anyone been able to sort this out or is it a software problem being attended by apple? Please reply?

  • Cannot access itunes and the app store after updating to iso6

    have just updated to ISO6 and now everytime try to go to itunes or app store the screen just comes up blank or get a message say it couldnot connect. have tryed resetting date as read that works but didnt for me, have still got maps and facebook ect  they seem to be fine but cant do anything with the itunes and the app store any ideas as i only did the update as the phone said to, so I am hoping there is a way to fix this or else its not worth having an iphone if you are un able to utlitise it.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

  • Back to square one: new iTunes and QuickTime CRASH, CRASH, CRASH

    I've been struggling with iTunes and QuickTime ever since the upgrade to 6.0.4. Everything worked just fine until then, and has worked fine since I got my iPod last June.
    A couple of days after the upgrade to 6.0.4 iTune started crashing, with the error message: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Please note this is only about using iTunes to play music on my computer (my iPod seems to be working fine.)
    I've removed iTunes and QuickTime, reinstalled them, and this works for a couple of days, then iTunes starts crashing again (this has now happened twice.)
    Strangely, this time, tunes in Party Shuffle at start up (from the last normal exit of iTunes) play just fine, but when I try to play something out of Library or swtich to a different genre or playlist in Party Shuffle, the programme crashes: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    I've tried opening QuickTime alone, and it fails to open (no error message) it gets as far as the player, then there's a windows "thunk" and QuickTime closes.
    So now I will uninstall, reinstall (starting with QuickTime, which seems to be the real culprit here) and maybe it will work for a couple of days. Computers are supposed to save time, not take up time in this way.
    I don't seen any sign or word of a new version of QuickTime with a fix to this problem (many seem to be having it). How long do I have to go on this way. Perhaps the best is just to use another Windows Media Player or Nero ShowTime ... these seem to function without any sort of problem.

    Thank you Katrina and MossMan,
    I do keep my computer under pretty tight wraps: Outpost firewall, AVG anti-virus, MS Anti-spyware. Ran the Ewido scan as suggested, Ewido did find quite a few cookies it considered of medium threat spyware ... removed these, and this did not resolve the problem with iTunes/QuickTime. Anyway, I'm not sure that cookies can cause programmes to crash?
    I still think that it's unlikely that the problem with iTunes and QuickTime starting right after the upgrade to iTunes 6.0.4 and its QuickTime counterpart, is just a coincidence.
    And if QuickTime is particularly vulnerable to some malware that none of the security programmes on my machine can find, and malware that has no effect on any other programmes, including other media players, then maybe this vulnerablity should also be something Apple should try to address.

  • Applications won't open after update to iTunes and QuickTime

    I just allowed a software update for iTunes and QuickTime. After rebooting, I found that the Finder will not start, nor Mail nor most other applications. TextEdit will start, which gives me the Menu bar so I can switch users, but all users have the same problem.
    I cannot see the hard drive icon without the Finder. If I hit the Finder button, it wiggles and then dies. Safari starts, but "quits unexpectedly" when I try to browse with it.
    I bought the G5 with 10.2 installed, then upgraded to 10.3 I have the 10.3 upgrade disks, but don't know if I can use these to do an archive and re-install.
    I can see the hard drive by doing an "open" from TextEdit, but of course I can't use that to open another application. I've booted of the 10.3 upgrade disk and used Disk Repair, but it found no problems. Lots of permissions problems, but I doubt that is causing the trouble.
    I'm in a real fix here. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    I'm having a similar problem only with disk utility after updating iTunes and Quicktime. I am unable to repair permissions, but otherwise the machine is working great as before. When I try to repair permissions using either Cocktail or Onyx it just keeps going, going, going and going but never finishes. It will run for several hours before I have to force quit the application. Repairing permissions has never taken more than 15 minutes prior to this update.
    I decided to try using disk utility while booted to osx, I get a message that says communication between the disk managment tool and disk utility has been lost and operation cannot continue. The same error occurs when running disk utility off the startup cd. I restored using my backup then ran disk utility and all was okay using all of the methods mentioned above. I installed the updates again and the same problem occurs when trying to repair permissions.
    Guess I will reload my backup and wait for a fix from apple unless someone chimes in with ideas on what could be wrong. Thank goodness for backups!!! This is the first software update that has given me any problems. Oh, one other thing. I installed the updates on my titanium powerbook running 10.3.9 and didn't have any problems. The setup on my tibook is essentially the same as my powermac G4. What gives? Anyone else having problems after installing the updates?

  • ITunes and Quicktime Error after automatice Apple update, need help!!!

    So I currently have a new labtop with windows vista. I have been runining iTunes for the pass 3 months already no problems. The Apple automatic update has never caused any problems till now. Quicktime needed to be updated today, and I accecpted the update, prior to that iTunes and Quicktime was working properly. Once the quicktime update was complete, it restarted my computer like usual. Then when I tried to open iTunes this error came up:
    "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
    Now I checked the audio configuration and nothing was changed or anything, that has not been touched at all, so I still think it had to do with the update. The next error was came up when I tried to open Quicktime and it read:
    "Runtime Error!
    Program C://ProgramFiles/QuickTime/QuickTimePlayer.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information"
    So as long as I have been using Quicktime and iTunes I have never encountered this, I tried to re-install but the error kept coming up after it was installed. Please help me out!

    try doing following the steps in these articles

  • Exception processing message 0xc0000013 after updating itunes and Quicktime

    After updating itunes and Quicktime, every time I remove a CD from my DVD drives I get an error saying no disk exception processing message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x759f023c 0x87f51934 0x759f023c 0x759f023c.
    I tried doing a restore to a time before that update and that didn't seem to help. It just gave me different parameters.
    I'm using Windows Vista and this is driving me nuts.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I also have the same problems as you guys after installing Corel Painshop Pro X12. I went into the task list and stop the CorelIOMonitor process and then the problem went away. I found out that you can disable this from starting up using System Configuration tool via Start -> Run -> msconfig
    . It's an interm solution untell they fix it. Maybe someone needs to notify Corel or Apple to fix this problem.

  • My ipod shuffle disappears after I click on the icon in Itunes. I reinstalled Itunes and my computer has been updated. What else can I do?

    My ipod shuffle disappears after I click on the icon in Itunes. I reinstalled Itunes and my computer has been updated. What else can I do?

    The shuffle icon in iTunes disappears, after you click on the icon in iTunes?  If so, if you do not click on the shuffle icon in iTunes, does it remain there indefinitely?  Are you looking at the shuffle icon in the iTunes sidebar?

  • ITunes and Quicktime hanging on start up after Quicktime v7 update

    Same exact problem here. Obviously this is not our computers, it's a bug in the new release of itunes and/or quicktime.

  • Latest update for Itunes and Quicktime has killed my internet

    Last night i updated the latest Itunes and quicktime as per my regular software update process. The system required a reboot which i completed. I then complete permissions verifications and repairs.
    I then attempt to open safari and go online it could not access the internet. Nor could it access the wi-fi config. pages. The signal of the airport was high and the router box appears to be working fine.
    When i tried to open internet connect it opened the programme but could not access any details. It simply goes to the colour wheel. I attempted a reboot and experienced similar problems.
    Please help!

    I have excactly the same problem. After completing this update my Airport card finds my home network no problem with a good strong signal, BUT I am not connected to the internet. When I look at the Network settings under the summary I have an amber'light' and the text says that whilst I am connected to my home network there is no IP address and it can not connect to the internet. Last time I had Aiprort sleep issues after a Security update and I had to memove the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleairportKext2 file to solve it. I noticed that this file is back again so deleted it, but still no joy as I can't get Airport to detect an IP address. My router is working fine as my Tiger equipped laptop connexts via Airport withy no problem, so it is something in this 10.3.9 suite of updates (iTunes/Quicktime/Security as at Nov 07) that has done it.
    I now get a spinning beach ball when I select the menu bar Airport icon.
    As my wife uses this computer for all her internet work and email, I am in big trouble as it is clearly all my fault. Any good samaritans that can restore marital harmony would be much appreciated.

  • When i try to update itunes and quicktime, it stops me and says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" please help.

    when i try to update itunes and quicktime, it stops me and says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" please help.

    Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
    After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

  • After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and itunes, it seems that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior..

    After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and my ipod (Classic 160gb) it would seem that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior to the original harddrive's failure for Tiger OSX 10.4.11
    Any ideas on the subject would be most helpful
    Thanks in advance
    Dingoh

    The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later.
    So, are you on version 9.2.1?
    Was it Tiger or Leopard you had on the drive before?
    iTunes 9.2.1 download...
