Itunes needs quick time? Instillation help please!

My computer crashed and I took it to a friend a few days ago to get it cleaned off. He cleaned everything off and gave it back to me running like a brand new comp.
So I was in the middle of downloading all of my things and I was downloading itunes again. When it was all finished and supposedly dandy I went to open it and it said it couldn't open it because it needed the newest version of quicktime and that I needed to reinstall it.
So I did what it said and downloaded the newer version of quicktime with itunes and restarted the computer like it told me to. Upon going to open itunes it gave me the very same message and said I need to reinstall it. So mildly ticked at this point I did what it said (for the third time) and STILL got the same message. ><
Can someone please help me!

You are not alone Spook. I have the same problem. Auto Quicktime Update has hosed iTunes. I have found no solution nor any interest from Apple to provide one, other than uninstall it all and try again, which doesn't work. This is an Apple problem, not a Windows problem. And the direct effect is to prevent me from accessing iTunes and spending money there.

  • Itunes Library on time capsule-Help please.

    I read this can be done to free up some room. I made a copy of my music folder in time capsule, pointed to it with itunes, but the file paths in itunes do not change. I made sure my time capsule was mounted, held option, launched itunes, selected the itunes folder in my time capsule, & still had no luck. This was the main reason why i purchased the device. Can someone tell me how this is done?

    Please, dear Apple friends, help me! Itunes is driving me crazy....
    I thought I had the solution; i created a new library folder on my TC, copied all my music files to the library in the itunes window. After copying one night and one day (which is strange, since all the files essentially already were placed on the TC, but anyway), I got an error warning saying that the copying had stopped because of a fault with file ". What this is, I dont know.
    And besides that, half of the songs which were copied have the hated ! - symbol which means they cant be found...
    It's so frustrating to have more than 25 gigabyte of music and not being able to play songs. Hopefully someone has a useful tip, because I'm starting to dislike Itunes. And I dont want that!
    Thanks

  • Help to install iTunes and Quick Time please!

    I really hope you can help me. I have been working my way through this forum for around 5 hours today. I have tried a number of your suggestions and have made some progress.
    - My iTunes hasn't been working for some time. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall a fresh version but it wouldn't uninstall.
    - So following forum advice, I downloaded and ran Windows Install Clean Up and also did a manual deletion exercise. This left a few odd files that wouldn't delete.
    - I have downloaded iTunes 8.2 but it won't install. I get an error message: "error writing to file: c:\programfiles\commonfiles\apple\mobile device support\syncservices\schemas\calendars.syncschema\contents\windows\calendars.ex e Verify that you have access to that directory" and eventually I get a message telling me that iTunes needs Quick Time.
    - I also downloaded the stand alone version of Quick Time. When trying to install it I get the error message "error writing to file:c:\programfiles\quicktime\pictureviewer.resources\ko.1proj\pictureviewerlo calized.dll Verify that you have access to that directory"
    - I can confirm that I am the only user of this computer and I have administrator rights.
    - I have installed the latest Microsoft updates.
    - I have restarted my computer about 3 times, after each major thing I've tried.
    Totally Stuck Now!
    I did read a suggestion about using a Microsoft fix but it involves going into the registry and I don't have the confidence to do that, I don't really know what I'm doing at all, I'm just following my nose!
    When my computer starts up CheckDisk says "correcting error in index $0 16208" and after correcting and sorting it says "an unspecified error occurred".
    Please help!!

    It sounds as though the file referred to in the error message is corrupt and Windows cannot read it.
    Try running a disk check. If it finds and fixes errors, try reininstalling. If not it it doesn't work, go on to the next step.
    Try renaming c:\programfiles\commonfiles\apple\mobile device support\syncservices\schemas\calendars.syncschema\contents\windows\calendars.ex e as ...calendars.old.
    If Windows will not allow that, then rename the containing folder.
    This should allow the install to proceed as it will not see the corrupt file.

  • I need quick time 7.5.5 for itunes.How to repair problem of installation?

    I have mac leopard 10.5.5 powerpc and I have itunes 10.6.3.
    Itunes need Quick Time 7.5.5 or more.
    I tried to install quick time but there is a problem of instalation.
    How to repair problem of installation of Quick Time?

    Some specific downloads of QuickTime:
    7.5.5 for Tiger
    7.6 for Tiger
    7.6.4 for Leopard
    7.7 for Leopard
    Since you have Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, it would probably be better to use one of those Leopard-specific downloads.

  • Do I need quick time with itunes 10.5 on my pc

    Do I need quick time on my pc with the new iTunes 10.5 update that came out today?

    According to the accompanying Apple information the answer is no. However Apple do say if you also want to play other older QuickTime movie files then you will need QuickTime.
    The conclusion is that if your only using music, or your only using movies purchased via the iTunes Store then it seems you no longer need QuickTime installed in Windows with iTunes 10.5.

  • ITunes and Quick Time upgrade 9.0.2 error downloading and installing

    Hi,
    This morning I recived notification that there is a new update for iTunes and Quick Time. While downloading and installing this upgrade 9.0.2, I received the following error:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT, version= "8.0.50727.4053" type="win32", publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", process or Architecture="x86"', please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736B3.
    What the heck does that mean???

    I received the same error and spent roughly an hour and a half troubleshooting with the Apple Customer Support before I was told that it was a Windows or Lenovo manufacturer issue -- something to do with a registry key -- and that this was outside the realm of Apple Customer Support.
    If you are able to resolve it, I would be interested in knowing how.

    well i have to be honest, but i don't know if it the vista you use has any significance for this. but you can try.
    okay follow:
    1: click "start" on the status line on the buttom of your screen.
    2: then click on "all Programs" and find "Accessories" and find the "command prompt"
    3: Right click with your mouse "command prompt" and click on "run as administrator"
    (as you has click'd on "run as administrator", "command prompt" should appear.)
    4: when it appears you need to type this "netsh windsock reset"
    5: wait for your computer to registrer the command you gave it, and restart your computer.
    then erverything should be pretty much as good or better then new.

    iPod touch 2G. Not syncing, not restoring, not switching on. iTunes 10.4.1. Help Please!

    - What happens when you try to sync and restore?
    - If iTunes is not seing the iPod see if restting the iPod will either fix the problem or allow you to see it in iTunes so you can restore the iPod
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    I strongly recommend that you install iTunes to the default C: paths. You can change the perferences to keep the actual music files on your D: partition.

  • The newest version of iTunes screwed up my songs Help Please!?!

    I don't know what happened, when I installed the newest version of iTunes it deauthorized some of my songs, songs that I bought through iTunes. Also, some of my songs skip in places now, that didn't happen on them before. Does anyone know how to fix this? If so I would really appericeate their help. Thanks.
    HP   Windows XP  

    So I think the problem may actually be with QuickTime rather than itunes.
    I tried all of the "fixes" listed on the board including adjusting settings in Quicktime etc and tried updating and back-dating my audio drivers but - no luck.
    . Even re-installed itunes 7 but no luck.
    . Uninstalled itunes 7 and installed 6 (had an old local install file) but - no luck.
    . Rebooted etc in each case.
    . Uninstalled itunes AND quicktime completely and re-installed version 6 itunes and quick time.
    It now SEEMS to work OK - the skipping has gone for the moment but I'll keep an eye on it and let you know....
    I still haven't seen a definitive answer as to why this happens OR a fix from Apple.....
    Surely something this common and frustrating should be fixed quickly? Surely a post at the head of the board by Apple moderators to point us in the right direction?
