ITunes fails due to lack of Quicktime

A few weeks ago, I had been using iTunes 6 just fine, until I decided to download my first song in a while, and it prompted me to update to iTunes 7. No big deal, I thought. They design these things to be user-friendly. I'll have my song in a few hours.
I downloaded iTunes 7 and Quicktime, installed them as directed, but when I attempted to open iTunes, I got the infamous "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" error message, which asks if I want to report the problem to Windows. Saying no, I tried to open iTunes again, to the same effect. I realized the problem was with Quicktime when a couple other programs I have that rely on it wouldn't open, with the same problem.
I've gone through Apple's support pages, and uninstalled iTunes. But when I go to uninstall Quicktime, it cannot complete the uninstallation due to a "fatal error." I also cannot reinstall, because apparently I have a "newer version" already installed. I've tried downloading the standalone version of Quicktime, but that got a similar "newer version" message.
(I cannot even do a system restore, because apparently while manually deleting files (as Apple instructs in its "uninstall iTunes" help bit), I've deleted something that cannot be restored with System Restore.)
How can I get Quicktime functional again?

I kept a handy little log of what I was doing as I followed your instructions:
I've downloaded the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, found that there was a Quicktime listing, and removed it.
There are no iTunes listings in my add/remove programs list.
When I now try to uninstall Quicktime, I get the message, "Quicktime Streaming Authoring failed to load because the versions of Quicktime Streaming and Quicktime Streaming Authoring do not match," and then "Quicktime Streaming Extras failed to load because the versions of Quicktime Streaming and Quicktime Streaming Extras do not match."
Then the "Installer VISE uninstall application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." (The error report indicates a "ModName" of "quicktime.qts")
I freshly downloaded standalone QT and iTunes 7.0.2
I restarted my computer (trying to follow directions on the "Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows" page. (it's worth noting that the little QT shortcut icon has been replaced with a Windows default)
I deleted all the iTunes, iPod, and QT files and folders it wanted deleted.
While emptying the recycle bin I got "Cannot delete Dc25 file" (or something like that) "because it is being used by another program. Please close the program and try again." I closed all programs except for the explorer window showing the recycle bin, but I kept getting the same message, so I skipped the "empty recycle bin" step. ;(
I restarted my computer once more (as per instructions)
QT standalone has been successfully installed (w00t)
I restarted my computer.
iTunes successfully installed. (*major celebration*)
And ... cringes iTunes opened successfully and is currently compiling my Library!! THANK YOU!!
I seriously owe you my life or something. If this wasn't the internet, I would bake you cookies or some such similar pastry. THANK YOU SO MUCH! kowtows

My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

My iPad will not let me download an iTunes movie due to lack of space but I purchased more space and it still won't work

As stated above - purchasing more space in iCloud has nothing to do with this. You do not have enough space left on the iPad for the movie to download, you need to delete content on the device itself.
You may want to transfer purchases to iTunes and then delete some content on the device to make room.
Transfer purchases.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
This article explains how to delete content from the device

Do not delete any important content without backing up, transferring purchases or transferring files to your computer.

Networkmanager 3G connection failed due to lack of /var/locs directory

By far the packages that give me the most pain on upgrades is network-manager / modem-manager combo. This last time i was having it fail like this:

After a lot of head-scratching and a lot of searching this bbs for the failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') snippet that seemed to me to be the culprit, i ended up finding another log file telling me that:

Checked if i had a /var/lock dir, no. Created said dir, with write permission for users group, am writing this through the connection that just started working. I have absolutely no idea whether this is a liability, to have this dir with that write permission, of if i should do something different. Also, i have no idea why i didn't have such a normal-sounding dir... Anyway, i'm posting it just in case anyone bumps into the same criptic ip-config-unavailable message...

T440s windows 10 upgrade failed due to lack of Lenovo driver for ac-7260

Anyone know when or where Lenovo will release / has released a windows 10 compatible driver for the Intel Wireless ac-7260 wifi adapter (mine is in my T440S)? Currently it's not possible to upgrade because the wifi adapter fails to operate correctly and I can find no update from Lenovo for my notebook and the ac-7260 adapter on the site that supports windows 10. I also tried the Intel "generic" drivers but that failed to resolve the problem. I tried many things and just could not get it to work for many different reasons that all boiled down to the adapter driver failing to work and giving errors or simply not working at all. Now that Windows 10 is released surely Lenovo has an adapter driver somewhere for it?

RESOLVED: Turns out I had an "Array networks" SSL VPN client installed as part of my Softlayer ISP's remote desktop package, not Cisco at all but caused the same exact problem. I had to uninstall it completely and have since found out it doesn't work at all with Windows 10 and there is no timeframe to have it updated and Array networks or maybe just Softlayer apparently haven't gone out of their way to inform the public. Thank you guys for your help and I hope others in future will benefit from this post.

CSCul50066 - Upgrade fails due to lack of disk space in the /common partition

I noticed this has only 1 and 2 star ratings after bumping into this issue myself, so I figured I would help out the original poster and others who are experiencing this issue.
Presumably, the original poster is intending to advise that we read the CUCM 10.0(1) Upgrade Guide, and view the Pre-Upgrade Tasks therein. These (the bullet points below) seem to be the salient options contained in that section. I used the "Free Common Space COP file" option to resolve my disk space issue and allow my upgrade. I found the .cop file in the following download area on CCO:

Unified Communications
Call Control
Unified Communications Manager (CallManager)
Unified Communications Manager Version 10.0
Unified Communications Manager / CallManager / Cisco Unity Connection Utilities-COP-Files
It is called: "VMware Disk Size Reallocation COP file: This COP file allows UCM VMs to increase the size of their vDisk(s) without requiring a system rebuild.
ciscocm.free_common_space_v1.1.cop.sgn "
• Use the Cisco Log Partition Monitoring Tool to adjust the low and high watermarks to reduce the traces
and remove unnecessary log files. Cisco recommends that you adjust the low watermark value to 30,
and the high watermark value to 40. After the upgrade, you must restore the high and low watermarks
to their original values in order to avoid premature purging of traces. The default value for the high
watermark is 85. The default value for the low watermark is 80. For more information about using the
Cisco Log Partition Monitoring Tool, see the Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool Administration
Guide.
• Use the Disk Expansion COP file (ciscocm.vmware-disk-size-reallocation-<latest_version>.cop.sgn) to
expand the vDisk size if your virtual environment has additional available disk space. Ensure that you
review the Readme file that supports this COP file before you proceed.
• Use the Free Common Space COP file (ciscocm.free_common_space_v<latest_version>.cop.sgn). This
COP file removes the inactive side in the common partition to increase available disk space without
requiring a system rebuild. Ensure that you review the Readme file that supports this COP file before
you proceed.
• Manually remove outdated or unused firmware files from the TFTP directory. You can remove these
files using the TFTP File Management page in the OS Administration interface, or you can use the file
list tftp and file delete tftp commands from the command line interface.

Back Up Failed Due to lack of space on Time Capsule

I purchased a new mac...was able to recover the data off my time capsule just fine...then returned the mac after getting my old mac back from repair....and I haven't been able to back up to my time capsule since...I keep recieving the following error...
This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 224.69 GB but only 178.45 GB are available.
Time Machine needs work space on the backup disk, in addition to the space required to store backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a larger backup disk or make the backup smaller by excluding files.
I have no problems removing data from my time capsule to make room for a back up, but I don't know how...I just don't understand why it's not removing the old backups automatically to create the new back as it did in the past before I switch b/w the new mac back to my old mac...
Please advise...Thank you

Earse the time capsule then do a back up..

Backup failed due to lack of space

Hi Folks - hoping this is an easy question, i have been a happy Time Capsule users for well over a year now - never really had to touch it - today its run out of space - I just now have to many files, movies, photo's etc - the TC is 500GB - can I simply add a 1GB external USB drive and use that as my TC backup drive in place of the 500GB internal?

Itunes cannot sync due to lack of space on iphone, but itunes also indicates 8GB free?

So im trying to sync my phone to itunes, and it clearly says there's 7-8 gb free in the space bar on the itunes iphone window. However whenever i try and sync it tells me I need 500 mb of additional space.
Anyone come across this problem before?

I have this exact problem, but with slightly different figures. When I originally tried to install CoPilot (which is about 1.5 Gb) there was about 4 Gb free, but the install continually failed due to lack of space on the iPhone (16 Mb 3G). I had to remove a load of music to get enough space to install.
Now there's a CoPilot update and with even 3.5Gb available on the phone, I just get that same error and it won't install. I then deleted CoPilot so there was almost 5 Gb free and tried again and I think it is now OK (currently sync'ing, but very slow).
I don't think this is a CoPilot issue as many users seem to be experiencing similar problems with other apps. I think perhaps it's more likely with CoPilot because it is relatively large. But the fact remains that the iPhone seem to need more than 3 times the size of the app in order to even update it which is truly a PIA and takes a lot of messing about to get around the problem.
Anyone know of a fix to this? I guess it's really a bug and needs to be reported to iPhone feedback).

CoPilot will not upgrade due to lack of space on iPhone

This issue is occuring on both a 3G and 3Gs phone that we own. I have read on forums outside of here that others are having the same issue. When I origally tried to install CoPilot it told me there was not enough free space to install the 1.3g app. My phone had 5gig free at that time. I uninstalled some videos to free up more space and got it to 11gig free. Still got the same message of not having enough free space. I unplugged the iphone, shut down iTunes and rebooted pc. CoPilot app then installed. After CoPilot installed I resynced movies and all was fine. Same exact thing happened on both phones. Then 2 days later CoPilot came out with an update. I ran into the same issue for the update. My 3g had 9 gig free and iTunes still said it could not install CoPilot for lack of free space. I have looked at the other forums and they say to look at the "other" section of storage on the iPhones, but both of these phones show little memory usage there. My theory is that in the code of CoPilot someone put in an extra digit in the memory requirements and instead of looking for 1.3 gig of free memory it is looking for 13gig of free memory. It is a real big hassle to delete things off of iPhone just to get an app to install.

It is available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Once you download and install it, you want to click Start > Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
This will launch a utility similar to Add/Remove Programs. Find QuickTime in the list, click on it, and click remove.
You can then try to install iTunes from here:

After upgrading to iOS 5, I lost my contacts, calendar entries, and Notes on my iPhone 3GS (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

This happened to me too but it was really all there. Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner. Everything should show up!!!
I was super thrilled. Hope this works for you!!

TS3694 Why is my i-tunes freezing up and is accompanied by a message "Saying Itunes can't save anything due to lack of memory and my system is equiped with 16gb?

I Have always used Itunes for my music and for reasons beyond me Itunes has been freezing up and lately it has bringing a mate that reseambles a normal Windows error message but it's telling me that Itunes has to close and the program can't save anything due to lack of memory ? So I updated the program to Version 10.6 last night and while downloading songs and album artwork Today it froze up an brought his mate the message back. And Yet my Laptop is as tooled up as well as a bovver boy on his way to a riot With 16gb of ddr3 plus 2 x Nvidia Gtx 580m's In Sli. So by rights any type of multimedia should run as smooth as silk and i never thought i would have a program make use of 16gb of ram all by itself. So if anybody has been through it an come out on top instead of passing Itunes over for another program and can give any advice or a hint would be much Appreciated... Thanks to Anybody listening....

Becasue something got corrupted on the iPod. It happens sometimes. Just restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and then try restoring from your backup.

Clear space on your iPhone (go to Settings > General > Usage) and complete the download there.
If you rented the movie on your iPhone, it can only be viewed on your iPhone.
