ITunes can't install due to old Quicktime installation

I'm trying to install iTunes on my teachers laptop for her- she's a technophobe but has bought a new Shuffle for her husband. I go to install, and it throws and error at me saying 'Cannot due to old version of Quicktime'. There were 3 version- Ive managed to ditch two, but one simply won't uninstall as it says that a certain system file is being used by another application. I'll try and get the file path if I can.
It;s a school laptop and they're set up by trained monkeys, they're so ungodly slow and badly set up. So, any suggestions?

When I get the chance, I'll probably try and boot the PC in safe mode and see if that'll take care of it. If this doesn't work, any other ideas?

  • ITunes Can Be Installed On 5 Devices - Why The Chaos When Reinstalling?

    This comes to light on the very rare occasions I have to replace a hard drive, which unfortunately just occurred.  So obviously i had to reinstall everything, as I hadn't managed to clone the old drive before it failed.
    I know that iTunes can be installed on up to 5 separate machines and currently I now have to installed on my secondary boot - Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.
    I multi-boot as I test security software so like to have it installed on all my OS's.   It was my Vista Ultimate SP2 drive that failed.
    Before I reinstall iTunes and Quicktime on Vista, is there some trick that I am missing that will negate the need for a complete re-download to that system of every single thing I've ever purchased?
    If it's any help I keep the iTunes (Media) folder on my external drive - where it is totally independent of any operating system.   I don't use the Cloud for backups as I have restricted bandwidth and in any case am not paying for extra storage even if I had plenty of bandwidth.
    Any tips and hints would be appreciated.
    Forgive me if I should have read something or other - please point me wherever.

    Did you use 'Software Update' to get the 10.8.2 update that is specific to the Late 2012 Mac mini?
    If it is not being displayed, you may need to wait a few hours to use 'Software Update' to get this update, as the update that you need is currently not in the 'Support', 'Downloads' section of the Apple website.

    I followed the link that you posted on previous question, but they program had moved and redirected me to some other ones, got all confused I did not get a windows installer clean up, did not pay to complete the repairs.
    The Major Geeks download locations still work. (Just checked myself.) Just in case you've been looking at old instructions, here's a copy of my most recent instructions.

  • Cannot Install Itunes on Windows XP because an old Quicktime file is on PC

    Hi Folks, i have been following these discussions.
    Like everyone else, I have been trying to reinstall itunes on Windows XP, by going through all the processes as described . The "block" against a successfull reinstall is having an old Quicktime file still on your PC , and being unable to delete it.
    My "QUICKFIX" - the pun is intended is , is to go into Windows task manager, then processes and then delete "qttask.exe" and then restart your PC, and then you should be able to reload itunes .
    I hope this helps, it did for me !
    I have spent many frustated hours before i found this works.

    A good starting point is this article on trouble installing iTunes here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    Presumably you are downloading iTunes from here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you are running the installer from your browser, try saving it to your desktop and running it from there.

  • Can't install due to later version of iTunes already installed

    When I attempt to install the Airport software, I receive an error message that says the installation will not continue because a later version of iTunes is already installed.
    I am running Windows Vista and iTunes 7.2.
    Can anyone help me?

    I am hoping that by posting here this topic will become current again. My situation is exactly as described below; new computer, attempted to install airport express from install disc; get fatal error b/c I'm running later (7.2) version of itunes. Tried installing from English folder, which appeared to work, but no Airport Express Assistant shows up for configuration purposes. Any suggestions?

  • Can't install due to password issue

    I've reset the password 3X and still can't download due to password issue. Help!

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
    If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • Can't install due to "registry" and "dll" error messages.

    I can't install any Adobe products. This occured after a complete reinstall of my Windows XP - if that has anything to do with it. I have done a reinstall before without any problems.
    I keep getting error messages about "missing registry" and "dll"s.

    I tried to install again to see what the exact error message was, but now all I get is a Microsoft message that says "Adobe Flash Player Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have been having other problems installing other products and have been getting messages like "Entry Point Not Found" followed by messages like"entry point...could not be located in the dynamic link library".
    I don't know exactly what "repaired" means in installing an OS. What I did was use my reinstall Windows OS disc and follow the instructions for a "clean" install. The prompts say that my files will be wiped out, and that programs will have to be reinstalled. When promted to pick a partition I always pick the default of a 50/50 split of the hard drive.

  • Can not install a Java add-in installation

    Hello,
    I have installed a ABAP NW 7.0 EHP1 system with BI_CONT 704. But our BW people asked if I could install a J2ee add-in installation onto the ABAP system.
    I u201Cthe old daysu201D I just started sapinst on the installation master, and then choose Java Addin installation, but this option is not available any more.
    I tried this on the installation master: SAP Netweaver 7.0 Including Enhancement Package 1 Support Release 1 -> SAP Application Server JAVA -> MS SQL Server -> Central System
    But when sapinst gets to the step where it asks me for the SAP instance u201CSAP System IDu201D, then I enter the running ABAP system, but after that I get the error u201CSAP system BW3 is an ABAP or ABAP+Java system. Cannot convert this to a Java standalone system. u201D
    This confuses me, since I am not trying to convert anything, I am just trying to install a J2ee addin installation.
    Anyone who can help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Yes, as you discovered by yourself, the java add-in installation option was removed by SAP.
    The java add-in was  recommended a few years ago but due to all the problems it created it is now unsupported by recent installation sources.
    From my personal experience, I agree that java add-in brings more problemas than advantages but if you really want to install one you will have to use older installation sources.
    Regards,
    Olivier
