ITunes and QuickTime not opening - why?

Recently iTunes and Quicktime haven't been opening, whether when I ask media to be opened in them or if I open them directly. They display as being open in the dock, but never actually do open and I always have to end up Force Quitting them.
Why would this occur and how can I resolve the problem?

For those reading this who do not have a QuickTime settings icon visable in their Control Panel window - look to the top left of the Control Panel window and click on Classic View.
The QuickTime icon will be visible.
I did have K-Lite but I installed it as part of WMPod after I had all this palarva, thinking I would then be able to sync via Windows Media Player. Not so, Windows Media Player did not recognise the plug in - did not have it listed in the options windows.
When I double clicked on the QuickTime icon in Control Panel (classic view) I got this message;
An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Quicktime.cpl",Quicktime"
I had in fact deleted what I thought were duplicate QT plugins (there were half a dozen in the Programs\Internet Eplorer folder and more in Mozilla).
So I downloaded QuickTime (again) and selected repair once the installation window was up. Double clicked on QuickTime in Control Panel again.
Same message again.

Itunes and quicktime wont open when click on it

Hi,
I am unable to open Itunes or Quicktime on my netbook. I have tried reinstalling the software but it wont work. Please can someone advise how I can get it working.
Thanks in advance
Chris

In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files. (Those sorts of applications often use the Visual C++ runtimes to keep track of the componentry, so it seems consistent that an update to those could cause the symptoms to flare up on a PC.)
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 Windows 7, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Windows 7, 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 7.6 (and QuickTime) not opening, error

This is driving me insane, iTunes (from version 7) has never worked on my computer and I feel like I have exhausted every option from support pages. It (and QuickTime) installed successfully but as soon as I try to open either iTunes or QuickTime I simply get the standard malfunctioning message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I'd send you the error report, except its huge. Any help would be hugely appreciated, as there is no chance in **** i'm buying an iPod without this sorted. Thanks
Matt

Oh, and I've already checked and tried the FAQ bit..

Both itunes and quicktime wont open!

so its been a few days and my itunes has not opened.
a message keeps popping up that says::
itunes has encountered an needs to close...send//dont send error report.on some topics i read that the problem may be quicktime-related, so i tried opening up my quicktime player. however, that would not open either!
i dont want to uninstall itunes because i dont want to lose my music, and im afraid to uninstall quicktime because i dont know if i have the program to reinstall it later on.
someone help!
thankss,
ashley.

hi ashlay!
here's how to do a careful standalone reinstall of QuickTime:
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 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 Standalone Installer
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.)

ITunes and Quicktime not launching

Greetings. iTunes or Quicktime will not open up on my Apple G4. When I click the icon it appears to look like its loading up, but fails to actually open. I am unable to gain access to any of my music files, or even play them through quicktime. Everything else opens fine on the computer. Restarts, etc... are not working either. Does anyone have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to avoid losing all my stuff on this computer, but do you think updating my operating system from panther to tiger would make itunes start working again?Thanks for any advice.

It seems to me, the Digidesign website has been reorganized.
Last time I looked (few months ago) it was no problem at all to go to the download links for the various drivers.
This time I'm being redirected to other pages and constantly getting "Problem accessing search server" messages, when searching for "Coreaudio Panther".
If the accessing problems aren't solved within a few days, I recommend you contact them by phone or email. I understand from what I read on the support page, you have to be a registered user to get support.

Itunes and quicktime not working!!! HELP PLEASE!!

I upgraded my itunes and stopped working. i uninstall everything that said apple in my pc and install them again and i keep getting this error:
"quick time Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".
Any ideas?

"quick time Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".
The broken QuickTime is most probably causing the iTunes problem. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few additional explicit precautions this time.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. Uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
Go into Add/Remove and select itunes. Click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. Does it launch properly now?

Itune and Quicktime not compatible

I reformated my computer and updated my software. Now my itune won't open and giving me the following error message, "iTunes requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later." I've tried to download a update but that didn't work. I'm afraid I don't know what system my macbook pro is operating on. I just know I bought the computer sometime early 2008. Please help. Thank you!

My Mac OS is Mac OS X, versiorn 10.5.8.
Then you can currently go as high as the latest QT 7.7 update. Now the question becomes, "What version of QT is currently installed?" To find that out, open the QT Player application and check the "About" window. You should find references to two version numbers. The first one is for the QT Player 7 app and the second is for the QT structure embedded in your OS.

Installed Itunes and will not open

I have installed and uninstall itunes on my Laptop mulitiple times and it will not open up. I have tried to run it as administrator, repairing it, unistalling it and reinstalling and it will not open. Is there an error or problem with the windows version for this to keep happening?

No, nothing at all happens. Once clicked the 'circle' that suggest it is loading appears (if that makes sense) but no, nothing
Many thanks.
Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

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!

ITunes 11 will not open-why?

After updating I cannot get into my itunes account as it closes down as soon as the opening screen appears!

I'm having similar issue, but with Windows XP.
I bought a new phone a few days ago and restored my itunes to it from icloud.
Could the problem be related?
