ITunes Download Error 2738: Error Installing QuickTime

to anyone who may read this: i just recently purchased an ipod touch and am trying to sync it with my computer, but it says im using an out of date edition of itunes (currently using v7.6 but says that i need at least v7.4). each time i try to install the updated version, it comes up with an error message saying that quicktime could not install, there was a problem with the package, and the installer automatically quit the installation process...PLEASE HELP! ive tried contacting apple support personnel but none of their advice has helped.

Assuming here that you're using a 32-bit version of Vista ... have you tried the vista instructions from the following document?
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows cannot be installed without Visual Basic Script (VBScript)

ITunes download error "Service "Apple Mobile Device Service"

How do I get past the iTunes download error message: "Service "Apple Mobile Device Service" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privilege to start system services." ?
I have tried ignoring, trying again, and canceling and reloading. I most recently downloaded the exe file, then from the download file right clicked to "run as Administrator" use an HP Pavillion g7 Notebook PC with 64-bit operating system and Windows 7. How can I get past this message?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components may allow you to install Apple Mobile Device Support without removing other components.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

ITunes is telling me to install Quicktime to play my movies, but the download is for Windows 7 and I have 8. What's the solution?

iTunes says I need to install Quicktime. When I clicked on MORE INFO, the Quicktime download is for Windows 7/Vista. I have Windows 8. I can play all movies except Dirty Dancing, altho I can play the extras... Do I need to install Quicktime?

Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is required for activation, or you have a phone that was probably hacked to unlock it.
A) Do you have a SIM in the phone?
B) Where EXACTLY did you get the phone?

I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.

Thank you.

Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
Best wishes and a Happy New Year!

Error Installing Quicktime

I had quicktime on my computer, then I had to use it one time, so I tried opening it, but nothing happened, as though I didn't click it. So I completely uninstalled it and tried reinstalling iTunes+Quicktime but I get, right at the end of installing Quicktime, QuickTime installation failed: Error Code: -1
And then it promptly closes. I also cannot use my iTunes since I don't have quicktime installed.

hi Elpram!
i don't much like the sound of the "error-less" launch failure that you got with Quicktime initially. what we're going to do is first try to treat the -1. our initial objective is to get itunes and quicktime to the stage (at least) that they fail to launch, but don't give you an error message. once we've got things to that stage, we'll start addressing the error-less launch failures.
the -1 (like the -3) indicates an underlying problem with the QT component of the itunes installer bundle. so first we're going to try a "semi-diagnostic" careful standalone QT install. (even if you get an error message on this install, the additional information will be helpful when it comes to trying to address the underlying problem.)
download and save a copy of the standalone QT 7.0.3 installer to your hard-drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than on line.) switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.3 Standalone Installer
if you get an error message during that install, let us know what it says. (include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
if the install goes through, let us know if (at least) you've gotten things to the stage where itunes and quicktime don't give you an error message when you try to launch them.

Error installing Quicktime (Code: -3)

Any and every time I try to reinstall Quicktime/iTunes I receive an error pop-up during installation (Quicktime installation failed: Error Code: -3).
I never had these issues until I upgraded iTunes from 4.9 to 5, and uninstallation and restalling has done nothing.

After trying just about everything imaginable to update and install Quicktime I was directed to the Windows Installer Clean Up Utility from Microsoft. I downloaded it and ran it and within a minute everything worked great again.

Itunes download error message

I recently tried to download Itunes for my computer its a windows 8 64-bit. I downloaded Itunes twice and it won't open at all, anytime I try to open it, there is a message that says "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes, then install again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)
Does anyone know of anyway I can download itunes and this not happen? I have tried everything and nothing has worked.

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

ITunes download error 404 - support issue

I'm at my wits end after getting an 404 error message after purchasing music via iTunes but being unable to download it. It says the url cannot be found on the server.
The really frustrating thing is that none of the online support documents cover my problem. I have repaired permissions, rebooted, re-installed iTunes 7 and tried to install it on my other mac, all with the same error message.
How do I contact the iTunes online support guys as there appears to be no obvious link via iTunes or the support pages?
I'm not going to be a happy bunny if I get charged for music I can't download.

there appears to be no obvious link via iTunes or the support pages?
From here:

select the Download Problems link and if your question isn't answered on that page scroll down to the bottom and use the form to contact Apple.

ITunes download error on the iPad

I bought some videos on iTunes (episodes of 2 TV seasons). Most everything downloaded with no problems but there are 7 that didn't complete and show up on the iTunes download page as "Download error. Tap to retry."
If I follow the directions and tap, the message briefly changes "waiting" then back to "download error. Tap to retry" and a moment later, a dialog box shows up that says "Unable to download episode. <episode title inserted> could not be downloaded at this time."
On the videos app, those episodes showed up but wouldn't play. I was able to delete the seasons by clicking on the Edit button on the TV Shows page, but still the iTunes Downloads icon shows a "7" badge.
I tried downloading those episodes again but that didn't work.
Any advice?

I found the answer to my question in another part of this discussion forum. I'm adding it here in case someone else sees my original post and wants to see the solution.
To get rid of the download error, go to the download page and find the small down-pointing arrow icon next to the "download error. Tap to retry." text. Put your finger on the down-pointing arrow icon and flick (quick short swipe) to the left. The down-pointing arrow icon will be replaced with a "delete" button. Tap the delete button. Then confirm the delete in the modal popup window.
That's it. An easy solution, even though it took me many hours to find the answer.

ITunes download error

I keep getting a message "Download error. Please try again" when I try to download a song from iTunes to my iPad . Do I have to download them on my computer and then synch up? Shouldn't I be able to download songs directly to my iPad ?
Thanks for any help !
Don

Yes, you should be able to purchase and download songs (and videos and movies) directly from your iPad. Are you able to successfully download using iTunes on your computer? Knowing that would provide an indication as to whether the problem lies with your iPad or is something more general, either with your connection to the Internet or with your iTunes Store account.

ITunes download error, tap to retry

I purchased some songs from iTunes, and all except 3 downloaded just fine. 3 songs keep coming up "Download error, tap to retry". I have tried numerous times to retry the download, but keep getting the error message. I cannot select and delete the downloads, either. Subsequent downloads are working fine. How can I get rid of these 3 downloads?

I can't confirm the 12 days part, but what I did find out is that the 3 songs I got did not appear as purchased items on my Apple ID I used for purchased, almost as if that connection was lost whenever I got the files (even if free from an iTunes promotion). The media files were on my OS X iTunes and I could transfer them to the phone, but I strongly believe because they are not attached to my Apple ID, and the download was interrupted somehow on the phone, that they appear as "not able to download".
I would guess if Apple added these 3 songs to my purchased list it would go away - but I do not know if they could even do that without probably knowing some ID that would like it to the exact song to add.
I tried a "reset all network settings" as the last resort before hanging up with an Apple tech (who was also not sure on how to solve). This did not work. Since this is not hampering my use of the phone, I will solve it some other day, perhaps when I next visit an Apple store and show them, maybe they would be interested in this scenario.
For now, I think I would have to factory reset the whole phone to get rid of them.

Itunes download error tap to retry - iphone 5s

When downloading a song from itunes on my iphone I got the download error tap to retry. I tried restarting the iphone, signing out of itunes and restarting but still got the same error, but I can download new songs fine. So I connected the iphone to itunes on my PC, which downloaded the song and sync'd it to my iphone fine. However, now I have the song on my iphone, but it is also still stuck in downloads on the iphone even after syncing it with my pc?

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have more or less same issue
