Itunes doesn't open now and apparently I need Quicktime 7.5.5 all of a sudden?

I recently had to replace my hard-drive as my previous one was howing signs of failing.  I formatted the drive and installed all necessary software. As expected the messages 'Updates were found' so I did these updates as I've done many times before with no problems. Now I am unable to open Itunes because I apparently need Quicktime 7.5.5 for Itunes to run.  A total shock to me as I'd have expected this update to update automatically as with Itunes etc.
  What can I do or what do I need to do to over-come this problem.  Is it a purchase I need or a simple fix?

what version of itunes are you running?

  • ITunes won't open now (and I didn't do anything!)

    I'm seriously angry here. I've had so many problems related to iTunes. The past 2 times my iTunes stopped working altogether and I actually resorted to formatting my whole hard drive both times.
    It's been working fine now for a month. I turned my computer off (properly) last night and today I turned it on and the first thing I tried to do was open iTunes and all it gives me is the stupid "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and gives me the option to send an error report.
    I have already tried repairing iTunes, deleting and reinstalling it, and downloading a fresh copy and installing that. Nothing has changed.
    Can anyone help me?

    Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
    If you see QuickTime, remove it
    Then try repairing iTunes
    If that doesn't work, go back into Add/Remove Programs and make sure QuickTime is uninstalled.
    Then, go here and download and install the version of QuickTime that does NOT include iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    If you run into problems uninstalling Quicktime, download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Go to Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
    Find QuickTime in the list and remove it.

  • I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format"

    I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format". Can someone please help me sort this problem, it's so frustrating!!!!!!

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    You may have an incomplete iTunes installation.  Uninstall your iTunes and Re-install again.
    If this still fails, try the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • Itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

    itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

    I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.

  • Itunes doesn't open after monolingual use, any further ideas?

    I installed Monolanguage and now iTunes doesn's open any more.
    tried everything mentioned here and in other forums.
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.
    I uninstalled Monolanguage
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Flip4Mac
    I deleted te TLSC file
    I repaired the rights of access
    I rmoved Flip4Mac and Quicktimeplayer
    I restarted the system serveral times
    Nothing helps.
    Any more ideas?
    How can I delete and reinstall iTunes without loosing all my data and backups etc.?

    "Monolanguage" as you say several times, or "Monolingual" as in your topic?
    Flip4Mac has nothing to do with iTunes.
    You have to be careful using Monolingual It can remove components other applications expect to be there.  I don't know how it affects iTunes, though it could conceivably be looking for language support you no longer have.
    If you're getting so desperate for hard drive space that you're using Monolingual then you may want to think about moving other files off, or buying a bigger hard drive.
    You may want to consider re-installing your operating system  or restoring your computer from backup if you really think this was caused by using Monolingual.

  • HT201263 iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone

    After trying to update to ios 7.0.6, iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone and doesn't show the message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.", which it should. What do I do now?

  • ITunes configures then wants to restart; again & again itunes doesn't open

    If I want to open iTunes my system is telling me to wait untill windows has configured itunes, then its asking mo to restart, so that the changed configurations can work. so I've restarted, but now iTunes doesn't open. It just configures and wants to restart again. Can anyone help me with that problem??

    I am experiencing the same problem with iTunes 8 too.
    Here's what I know so far about this problem:
    1. It is not fixed by uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes.
    2. It is not fixed by replacing the current iTunes icon I use with a new one from the original program in my Start Menu.
    3. It has something to do with the lack of administrative powers on my computer account that prevents iTunes from changing settings/reconfiguring/gathering infromation. (The iTunes on the Administrator's account works just fine.)
    4. It probably has something to do with the recent change from DRM-protected to DRM-free iTunes music. That's my theory. However, it could just be that iTunes had a structural or graphical update and needs to reconfigure in order to complete the redesign. Or something to that extent.
    Regardless, iTunes is reconfiguring in such a way that strictly regulated computers won't allow. Something needs to be done so that iTunes can work around this.
    I hope someone can help with this problem.
    Much thanks,
    Lunar Guy

  • ITunes doesn't open when launched or takes several minutes to open

    Just like the title says, iTunes doesn't open when I click the shortcut in the Start menu. It appears in the windows task manager under proccesses as 'iTunes.exe *32'. Sometimes it will open 10-15 minutes later. It worked just fine until a few weeks ago. I have tried running as Administrator, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times. Not sure what else I can do. I need to use iTunes to synce my mom's iPhone 4S and my iPod touch 3 Generation. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    You said it was showing in the processes as

  • How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

  • I have a 1st generation MacBook Pro and I recently downloaded OS X Maverick.  My iTunes will not open because it says i need a 64 bit version.  Already followed the promted instructions but no luck.  Any suggestions??

    I have a 1st generation MacBook Pro and I recently downloaded OS X Maverick.  My iTunes will not open because it says i need a 64 bit version.  Already followed the promted instructions but no luck.  Any suggestions??

    Oh, you do have the C2D! That's great!
    I'm no technical expert, I just like to help out whenever or wherever I can so... I don't know if this can help you, but let me tell you about how I got my Snow Leopard to run in 64 bit mode. When I got my (late 2008) iMac it was running in 32 bit mode under Tiger (2.4 GHz/Core 2 Duo). I eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard & it was running in 32 bit mode (by default) w/1 GB RAM.  
    Somewhere along the line, I happened to watch a YouTube Video that showed how to upgrade an iMac's RAM, so I ordered two - 2GB sticks of Crucial RAM and then - under the guidance of the 14 or 15 year-old young man who posted the video on YouTube; wearing a rather fashionable static-electricity-neutralizer-wrist-strap, I removed 1GB of RAM & plugged in the 4GBs of RAM. So - boom like that, it was like I bought a brand new machine.
    It was over a year later when I stumbled across a way to boot Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode. Turns out that if you boot while holding down the 6 & 4 key combo (the ones above the QWERTY keys), then the machine runs in 64 bit mode. Go figure. Now my Snow Leopard and just about all of my applications - with the ironic exception of iTunes - runs in 64 bit. iTunes seems fine though; if there's a performance bottleneck, I really can't tell.
    Well, that's about it..
    I hope that something I've mentioned can help you achieve your overall goal.
    Finally, it's hard to jump onto a train, a large cat, or a surfboard that's already moving. But don't be surprised when someone a fraction of your age shows you how to.
