Itunes is asking for Quicktime Version 7.5.5. or higher before opening

Hi there,
recently I had to reinstall my complete software by using the installation disc that came with my macbook. After reinstalling I updated my itunes-Version to 5.2.2. Afterwards, by clicking on the itunes-Logo in the dock in order to start itunes, I have received the failure notice "Itunes needs quicktime player version 7.5.5. or higher"
I have checked my current quicktime version, it says it is version no. 7.7. (1680.25) in greater letters and below written in smaller letters there's a different version no. saying 7.4.1. (14).
That leaves me with the question, how to find out which quicktime version is correct. And, if no. 7.7. is correct, what can I do about itunes to be able to open the programm again? Thanks in advance for any advice, you can give me.

Run System Profiler.  Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."
Check under both Applications and Frameworks for Quicktime.  Applications are the actual Player application itself.  I believe Frameworks is the underlying system software support.  If you see something different there it might be that about which iTunes is complaining.  On my computer both say the same, but I'm not having the issue.
I'm guessing here but if you re-installed the system using Archive and Install,  your applications were left intact and that's why your Player is 7.7, but all your system software (includingQT framework) was replaced with earlier versions which may be why the you're seeing different versions.  iTunes doesn't need the Player, but it does need the underlying QT software.

  • I updated to 10.5.8 and itunes is asking for quicktime 7.5.5

    Hi All,
    I've finally updated my macbook to 10.5.8 soly to use iTune 10.5 . When I try to open iTunes it says it requires quicktime 7.5.5 or later. I downloaded 7.5.5 and upon install I get the message that it's for an earlier version of Mac OS. I've also tried to download earlier versions with the same message. It currently shows that quicktime 7.2.1 is installed. Where do I go from here?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Paul

    There are different versions of Quicktime 7.5.5. You probably got Quicktime 7.5.5 for Tiger (OS X 10.4).  You need the Quicktime 7.5.5 for Leopard (OS X 10.5). Get it here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27

    Plug your phone into your computer running iTunes. Click on the phone in the left pane of iTunes. Click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
    If you have a 3G, the highest you can go is 4.2.1.

  • Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

    When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password.  I am not purchasing anything.  It started today.  Why is that?

    I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
    * Sign out of iTunes & App Store
    * Sign out of FaceTime
    * Sign out of Game Center
    * Delete iCloud account
    They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
    Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
    So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

  • For restoring from backup itunes is asking for password

    Hi Experts
    for restoring from backup itunes is asking for password and i didn't give any password when backup was going on not even i checked on encrypt my backup.
    please help me ASAP

    See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3057884
    I too have experienced the "blame everything but Apple products/software" indoctrination of the Apple phone support techs!
    I have a feeling that iTunes automatically switches encryption on and puts as default a previous iTunes store password but as I don't leave mine the same all the time (and don't feel the need to remember historic passwords that I'm not using to secure anything against) I have no clue what it is.
    Good luck trying to get useful advice on here relating to the issue, it will go along the lines of...
    1) Its your fault for setting it and forgetting the password,
    2) We know everything and theres definately no way iTunes would set backups to encrypt without your knowledge and...
    3) Theres no fix for this issue, you might be able to save some of your data, but most will be lost (unless you specifically ask for an iTunes redownload exemption/ token then your purchases could be lost too).

    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons on iPhone until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.
