ITunes and Quicktime Trouble

My iTunes was working fine but then I upgraded to iTunes version 6.0.5, only my music files will play now and all my music videos and other quicktime video formats don't work at all. In fact it say there is a problem with iTunes and it needs to shut down. I have tried to uninstall-reinstall but nothing I try fixes it.
Can anyone recommend something I can try to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Thank you Katrina S. for the recommendation. I tried it and the same thing happens. So it must not be anything that windows startup or other services that load up at startup. I believe it's something wrong with this version of Quicktime cause it was working fine before this version.
When I play a song in iTunes it plays fine. When I play a music video the program shuts down and the report a problem to Microsoft box pops-up. The same thing happens if I just have Quicktime only loaded. At that point I was trying all the taskbar options, that's when I found out about the update problem. I wasn't really trying to see if there was an update cause I have the latest version now. But the error I did get I should not have gotten, right? It should just come back and say you have the latest version, no updates available.
I have Norton Internet Security with Norton Anti-Virus installed with the latest updates installed. Run a virus check, no viruses reported.
At this point I really don't know what to try next. Can you think of anything else? Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again folks.

  • ITunes and Quicktime Installation Troubles

    I had to completely remove iTunes and Quicktime from my computer, and now I am having difficulties reinstalling it. When I download iTunes+Quicktime it begins to install, and then stops, saying there was an error installing Quicktime. The error is that an installation is already in progress. I have tried everything, including Windows Clean Up Utility, CCleaner, and I have gone through Control Panel, My Computer, and Task Manager. I really need some help on completely removing Quicktime from my computer. Thanks soooo much!

    Could you give the exact error message with error number if there is one.
    Does this problem only apply to installing QUicktime? If so using the installer clean up utility to remove any entries for QUicktime usually fixes this. The only catch is that Quicktime does not always show up properly in the clean up utility. Look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like QUicktime version numbers i.e 7.x
    I would try installing Quicktime separately. Download the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes. It is not the default option.

    If there is a general installer problem, this thread contains a post suggesting the deletion of the following registry key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress
    http://www.vistax64.com/vista-general/40960-vista-business-msi-error-1500-a.html
    This key should not normally be present if there are no installations in progress and it applies to Installer error 1500

  • I am unable to install the newest update for itunes and quicktime because of a bonjour error about path not being located

    I have windows 7 and I have been trying to install the newest update for itunes and quicktime but I keep receiving the same Bonjour error. I even tried to do it manually and no luck. I also tried to unistall bonjour but it would not even allow me to unistall it either. No matter what I do I get the same error listed below:
    The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
    I would greatly appreciate any help because this appears whether i am trying to install the updates or remove bonjour to reinstall. I am stuck.
    Thank You in advance!!!

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • 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.

  • Itunes and Quicktime wont install

    When I tried to update my iTunes and Quicktime recently, it succesfully downloaded, began installing, and once the progress hit Quicktime, and error showed "an older version of quicktime cannot be removed." Now the issue is, that before this happened, the update had already removed the older version of iTunes. However, it was unable to install the newest version due to this quicktime issue. So here I sit. Help?
    -D

    once the progress hit Quicktime, and error showed "an older version of quicktime cannot be removed."
    Most probably that's an issue with the installation database in the QuickTime.msi file.
    Unfortunately, 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. First we need to hunt down a copy of the utility.
    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 QuickTime 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.)

  • 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.)

  • I've updated to newest itunes and Quicktime--is it safe to update my ipod?

    Before I do something I will have trouble undoing, I was wondering if most people are having success with the newest versions of itunes and Quicktime. Everything seems to be running fine on my computer--movies play, etc.--but I don't want to update my ipod until I'm reasonably sure things will work fine there as well.
    Also, I was wondering how exactly to purchase the new Quicktime key that Software Update says I'll need. I went to the Quicktime site but was a little confused--do I actually need to purchase Quicktime Pro? Can you download the key or do you have to wait for the software to arrive in the mail? (If movies are playing fine in itunes, does that mean I don't need a new key?) Again, I don't want to update my ipod only to find out that I've screwed things up.
    By the way, I have the 30G video ipod.
    Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

    I have updated mine (a brand new Nano and a 60 GB iPod Photo) with no trouble whatsoever. I had some minor glitches with the iTunes 7.0 update, but since the 7.0.2 update all's right with the world.
    I would go ahead and update your iPod now.

  • 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?

  • Error - 1603 on installation of itunes and quicktime

    Ive read and trouble shot various threads in this... heres my problem
    I tried installing, and it didnt work... after that i tried uninstalling both itunes and quicktime, the itunes never showed up in my add/remove section... using the windows install clean up and this took off the itunes... im assuming. ok after that i tried deleting everything from quicktime. I did the add/remove and took it off. Now im trying to install quicktime and the installer wont even start, when it does start it gets about 80% done and then gives me the 1603 message. Same scenerio with Itunes. I am installing from the desktop not from the internet.
    heres what the message reads.
    Error - 1603 Fatal Error During Installation
    Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information
    I put off so much work to try to get this fixed... i need some assistance.
    thanks in advance.

    Hello everybody,
    I have exactly the same problem as Mark and Paul, both with QT7 install and itunes install but it turned a bit differently.
    Before having the -1603 error, I had, for each of the both installs (QT & itunes), a registry error "impossible to open the HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes....."
    I did all was possible, at least to me(delete temp files, uninstall all QT & itunes applications, run Windows Installer Cleaner ...), and I finally manage to install QT V7 but the error still remains for itunes !
    Like Paul, I can't find the select Local Users and Groups under
    Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > System Tools
    I tried the "%windir%\registration" solution but after opening the folder , I don't know what to do !!??!!
    I've got an empty "CRMLog" folder, a "{02D4B3F1-FD88-11D1-960D-00805FC79235}.{E6259674-0B1E-4459-893A-8BC3F8707995}. crmlog file, a R00000000000b and a R00000000000c files.
    What should I try with those files, pleeeeaaaase ? Helpppp : I'm not THAT good !
    PS A may be useful precision : this occurs with an old version of itunes (V5, I think)
    PS2 : in the register at "HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda\OpenWithProgids", I have a iTunes.cdda file --> should I try and delete it ?
    Thanks in advance

  • 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 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 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?

  • 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!

  • Error Messages for iTunes and Quicktime, what do I do?

    Hello, I'm in need of some help.
    Let me walk you all through what I did for the last 4 hours:
    (important note: I suck at far too much computer stuff, so I am fully aware that as you read the following, at certain points I probably made the problem much worse than it needed to be, I am not proud of this, but everything you read did happen, stupid as it probably was for me to pursue the problems in the particular way that I did. Hindsight is 20/20.)
    I updated my iTunes v7.7 to v8.0 today, and after trying it out for a while decided that I didn't like it and wanted to go back to what I was using before.
    So, because I didn't know what else to do, I tried to re-install the original iTunes software that came with my iPod (a 20gig classic I bought in 2004). That version of iTunes was v6.0 (again, 3 years ago).
    Part way through the installation process, I got a message that said that, because I had a newer version of iTunes on the computer already, it wouldn't install the version on the disk.
    So I uninstalled v8.0, restarted my computer, and installed the v6.0 from the CD-ROM I had.
    It was then that I found I had NONE of the 6000+ songs in my iTunes window. I checked my computers files to find that they were still in the library, but my iTunes screen was completely devoid of all my music.
    So I tried to get it all back on the player. I discovered that by right-clicking "Play" for the individual files from the folders in my iTunes that they would come up on the player, but that meant that I'd be clicking in 6000+ songs, one by one, till they were all back. I didn't want to do that.
    So I tried a system restore (again, read "important note" at top of post). After that happened and I was looking at my desktop again, tried opening iTunes, and it gave me a message that said:
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    And it asks if I wanna send an error report. I decline, then try opening Quicktime. Same message. So I try to uninstall both programs (i know, i know, "important note"), and iTunes uninstalls, Quicktime does not, because, as my computer puts it, "a fatal error occurs."
    But since I have iTunes uninstalled, I go to apples site and download iTunes v8.0 again. After waiting for all that to get done, I get the same error message.
    So I peruse this very discussion forum, and after looking for a good while at what is being recommended I go to a site and download v7.7 again.
    Again, I get the same error message.
    So here I am. I've tried working it out myself for the last 4 hours, and I seem to have made things worse.
    So please, please, PLEASE, I ask for any help you can provide.
    Can I get my iTunes back?
    Is my Quicktime corrupted now?
    Am I totally screwed?

    I had the same problem when I went to upgrade to 8 and then downgrade back to 7.7. To fix this is a little involved, but you can do it. Let me put it this way, I talked my mother through it on the phone, and she has a hard time finding the power button So no worries, I'll help you get back up and running. I am running Vista now, so I am going off of memory for Vista, so bear with me.
    I would do the following:
    1. Uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime by going to Control Panel-Add Remove Programs, and choosing first Quicktime then iTunes.
    2. Clean your registry. Easy now, it is not that hard. To do it, go to http://www.ccleaner.com/download and download CCleaner. It is free and has NO spyware. Install it and run the registry cleaner. It will remove any trace of both programs from the registry. Now you have 2 choices.
    3a. Now I would install iTunes 8. Because you already installed it once, it converted its database file that it uses to track the library and play lists up to the iTunes 8 standard.
    3b. If you have no problem loosing your playlists and library settings, you can go back to iTunes 7.7. To do this, first search for "itunes.ttl". To do this, go to Start-Search Files and Folders- and type in "iTunes.ttl" Once the search finishes, it will tell you where it is located. Navigate there using Windows Explorer or My Computer and delete it. Now you can install iTunes 7.7 with out any errors. You will not loose any files! just your playlists and it will not remember what is in your library.
    As far as adding your songs again, did you try to re-importing your music? If you go to the file menu-add folder to library. It will bring up a dialogue box that will allow you to browse to the folder with your music.
    Let me know if this works. I will help in anyway I can.
    Good Luck,
    linesma
