Itunes or quicktime will not open

I just purchased ipod and I downloaded itunes. at first it worked correctly, then it stopped opening and quicktime will not open either. I have tried re-installing numerous times to no avail. All the error message says unknown error send or don't send to MS. I am starting to get frustrated over this. It has taken up so much time. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME????

Hi Dave. Many thanks for your response. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstalled them and now I can open iTunes. I now have another problem. The music that is on my iPhone that was imported from my iTunes prior to resetting my Mac seems to be unavailable for me to play. It doesn't show up on my iPhone when it's not connected. But when I connect it to my Mac all the songs show up under the music tab of my iPhone but they are all light grey and when I click one an exclamation mark appears next to it. I've tried authorizing my account but that doesn't do anything.
If you have any idea what the problem could be I would really gratefull.

  • ITunes and QuickTime will not open

    I upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1 and the installation went fine. However, when I try to open iTunes by double-clicking on the desktop icon, a page pops up for less than a second and then goes away. I think the page might have something to do with a license agreement. I get no error messages. I also tried to open QuickTime to see if it works, but it does not. When I try double-clicking on the desktop icon, a page (different than the one that pops up for iTunes) comes up for less than a second. No error messages for QuickTime come up either. What can I do to get my iTunes and QuickTime to work?

    what's the precise wording of the message that you're getting when you try to launch itunes?
    what is the wording on the message that you get when you try to uninstall QuickTime?
    (include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Both ITunes and Quicktime will not open

    I can't open either ITunes or Quicktime. Each time, I get the iTunes or QuickTime Player "has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I tried repairing both, was able to uninstall & reinstall iTunes but still get same error. Quicktime would not uninstall, removed it through Windows Install Clean Up, cannot re-install.
    Here are the errors:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.6.2.9 ModName: quicktimestreamingauthoring.qtx
    ModVer: 7.4.5.67 Offset: 0001685c

    P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
    And the one during the Quicktime install:
    Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeStreaming.Resources\ QuickTimeStreaming.Resources.qtr
    Verify if you have access to that directory
    Please help! I am pulling my hair out!

    I wish I had an answer for you; all I can say is, you're not alone. I've been unable to open iTunes (7.6.2) all day, and after reading your post, I tried QuickTime: yep, it only crashes, just like iTunes. FWIW, here's what I tried: restart, repair disk permissions, CD start, using Time Machine to restore iTunes 7.6.1 (now I have both that and 7.6.2, but neither works), calling Apple tech support (they want $49 to see if they can come up with something else).
    Also FWIW, this problem started this morning; last night, I upgraded Safari (3.1.1). I don't know why there'd be a connection, but...?

  • QuickTime will not open (Windows 7 64-bit OS)

    I have the latest version of iTunes with QuickTime installed. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with QuickTime several times. iTunes opens fine, but QuickTime will not open. It used to open fine about a month ago, but will not now, I have no idea what changed on my computer to cause this problem. When I try to open it, the Quicktime icon appears at the bottom of the screen in the Windows 7 taskbar, but no window opens on the screen. I have a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. Has anyone seen this before or had any success correcting this problem? Thank you, Josh

    When I try to open it, the Quicktime icon appears at the bottom of the screen in the Windows 7 taskbar, but no window opens on the screen
    That's consistent with a QuickTime display preference gone bad, josh.
    If that's what is afoot, rebuilding the QuickTime preferences can help, although it can be a bit of a trial to track them down on the 64-bit systems.
    Close any of the QuickTime Player buttons that are currently in your taskbar.
    Now we need to change some view settings on the PC. (The preferences are kept in hidden folders.)
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
    Click OK.
    Next we'll navigate to your AppData folder.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your user documents are stored on.
    Open the "Users" folder.
    Open the folder with the name of the Windows User account in which the QuickTime Player isn't displaying properly.
    Open the "AppData" folder.
    Now the hunt for the QuickTime preferences begins.
    Open the "Roaming" folder.
    Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
    Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
    *If there was no QuickTime folder in \Roaming\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly*
    Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
    Go back into the "AppData" folder.
    Open the "Local" folder.
    Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
    Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
    *If there was no QuickTime folder in \Local\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly*
    Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
    Go back into the "AppData" folder.
    Open the "LocalLow" folder.
    Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
    Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
    Any of those measures help with the display problem?

  • I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • ITunes 11.1 will not open after downloading.

    This is what I did to fix it.  I am running Win7 so I don't know if it will work on Win 8 or not.

  • Quicktime will not open after upgrading to "Snow"

    Quicktime will not open after upgrading to "Snow". The light underneath the dock icon lights up but the application does not open. Suggestions?

    Actually, wasting bandwidth is a waste of people's resources who offer to help here. You posted and got answers to your post. What you thought of that would be better (for you) was posting it in every corner of AD that might get read would give you a response 30 nanoseconds faster than posting once. So read your answer and enjoy your computer.
    All you need to do is post in the right forum section, and wait for a response. It will come unless nobody has a clue which rarely occurs.

  • After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. Iran

    After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.

    and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

  • I bought an mp3 download of a cd online (not in iTunes) and it will not open in itunes.

    I tried everything. Importing the songs through file, add to library, which usually works. I tried double clicking it and clicking "open with itunes". I even tried dragging each song individually and dropping into itunes but nothing will work! Please help!
    Also, the files are completely fine. They open in Quicktime and play just fine. They just will not open in itunes.

    Have you tried going to menu > file > option+create new version > create AAC and select tracks from your disc. You track should be converted as they are added to library.
    You will need to change import preference to AAC if you have have them set as mp3.

  • Apple programs, Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari, Quicktime will not launch.

    Recently we downloaded some upgrades from Apple and now Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari and Quicktime will not launch. The icon dances on the dock, and the operating system records the program as having opened, but the program does not come up and the icon menu on the dock still displays open rather than quit. I have tried re-installing the programs to no avail.

  • ITunes downloads but will not open.

    I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes with QuickTime but it will not open up on my computer. I had QuickTime before, and that works fine, I can use that program normally. But my iTunes just doesn't open. When I click on it, the hourglass appears for a few seconds then nothing happens. I have tried the suggested problem solvers that are already on the apple site, but they haven't fixed my problem. I was wondering if there is anything else I could do?

    I helped a friend today with his new iPod. He had not updated since I installed version 6. When the installation of QuickTime/iTunes 7 was done, I rebooted the computer. I ran into the same issue as you each time I tried to launch iTunes. The screen would flash once, the hourglass cursor would appear for a few seconds, then nothing. Then I realized I was using an old shortcut from the Windows Start menu. Oops. Once I found the newly installed iTunes application and double-clicked on it, iTunes launched and we were good to go. Created a new iTunes account, redeemed the gift card I gave him, imported some CDs and sync'd the new iPod so he was happy. I went home happy knowing that he is going to be an iTunes addict just like me.

  • Downloaded update iTunes, now program will not open!

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem.  I downloaded the newer version of iTunes to my PC today, now it will not open the application.  I have unistalled and tried redownloading a couple times now, it still will not work.  I am runnnig Windows 7 64 bit.  Thanks

    Try following steps one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • ITunes and Quicktime will not load

    Hi, when i try and load my iTunes, it will not load. It has been working fine for months, but has recently stopped!
    When i try and load iTunes, i am given the standard Windows "iTunes has encountered a problem" screen with the error message of:
    Error Signature
    AppName: itunes.exe
    AppVer: 6.0.0.3
    ModName: quicktimeStreamingAuthoring.QTX
    ModVer: 7.0.3.50
    OffSet: 00016cb9
    So i "Repaired" iTunes, which didnt fix the problem, i uninstalled it, which also didnt fix it.
    Then i decided to try and uninstall Quicktime, due to it being the root of the problem, and i was greeted with this error:
    Error Description
    DLL function call crashed
    QTInstallCode.QuickTimeUninstallPrc
    Any ideas on what is the problem, and how to fix it?! Because i cannot install a new quicktime whilst this one is still on my computer, and i cant get it off!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Matt

    Okay... I'm waiting for this answer too!! Exact problem...was working fine now I get the "Itunes has encountered a problem...." I attempted to run Quicktime (it is needed, I understand) but now it will not run. I uninstalled all (could not even find Quicktime) and attempted to reinstall. Itunes apparently reinstalled but Quicktime will not... and now nothing is running.

    Someone please help me!!!!

    windows installer has stopped working
    a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
    ... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
    Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?
