ITunes program removal?

I recently down loaded quick time to view a video and wow guess what came bundled in with it? iTunes software!
At first I figured no problem, I won't use it anyway.
Recently I decided to remove programs I hadn't used in about 30 days just to keep things running smoothly.....
And guess what? iTunes won't uninstall completely, deleting the files won't work, and when I launch the add/remove program it tries to re-install iTunes. So am I stuck with this program? I know this is not a "normal" request yet why in the world won't it go away?
If I would have known that it was a permanent type file I would have opted for a quick time alternative just because those programs are EASILY removed. (even using Webroot's window washer program to delete iTunes wont work)

hi T!

QT 7 standalones (and QT 6.5.2 standalones) are available in the "downloads" tab on the Apple site. if you still have trouble finding one, there's a link to a QT 7 standalone inside here:
Scott Patrie, "Installation hangs on "installing QuickTime"", 10:33pm Oct 7, 2004 CDT
might be a good idea to use the full uninstall instructions for QT and itunes (in the KB doc below), and then reinstall the QT7 standalone:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
if you keep running into trouble on the uninstall, try the Cleanup utility (link to that in the KB doc above).
keep us posted on your progress.

Unable to install new itunes or remove old itunes program

Short story: I had to move itunes program from computer onto external hard drive. Copied the program from external hard drive to reinstall back onto computer. Now I can't open itunes program, remove it, or install a new version. Is this because it is a copy and not the original program file? I no longer have the original file. What can I do?

I attempted to install the latest iTunes after downloading it a few nights ago, as it was apparently required if I wanted to download movies. I got "Error code 2738" continuously.
there are a number of troubleshooting suggestions for the 2738 in this thread:

I could previously open my itunes program on my computer. Not now as when it asks, Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer and I select, Yes, it shuts down. I have removed and re-installed itunes, checked firewall. Pls help

I could previously open my itunes program on my computer and sync with ipad, ipod and iphone but no longer. When I select itunes a dialogue box opens with question - "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer" When I select YES, it just shuts down. I have removed and reinstalled itunes. have checked firewall and spent hours trying to fix. Please help.

A possible cause of this error is that Firefox is set to run as Administrator.
Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

Itunes program corrupted on Windows XP and can't be removed...

I have an Iphone 4 and regularly update it via Itunes. Recently my Itunes program got corrupted. Upon rebooting the computer I got an error window pop up with this message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe -Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wai_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic point library SQLite3.dll"
Soon my whole Itunes program crashed and I tried to remove and reinstall it but got the message that the "older version" of Itunes cannot be removed. Now even my CD/DVD drive is corrupted and not working.
Anybody knows how can I fix this problem? Thanks...

Normally, I'd think of these as three different problems.
(1) "AppleSyncNotifier.exe -Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wai_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic point library SQLite3.dll"
With that one, I'd first try uninstalling and then reinstalling your MobileMe control panel.
(2) Soon my whole Itunes program crashed and I tried to remove and reinstall it but got the message that the "older version" of Itunes cannot be removed.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(3) Now even my CD/DVD drive is corrupted and not working.
Could you describe what's going on with that one in a bit more detail, please?

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

I have tried to update my itunes program. It was running great until I attempted the update now all I get is an error message that says "Itunes was not installed properly, Please reinstall itunes, Error 7 (Windows erroe 126)". What can I do to get my it

I tried updating my itune program. Now all I get is the following message "Itunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). WHAT can I do to get back to where my itunes program is running again?
I have uninstalled the proram and tried reinstalling and get the same error message. The other error message I get is "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". I have tried that twice with no luck. Can someone help me get my music back???

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

Skipping songs
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

Can not download itunes programs"The disk you are attempting to use is full

I purchased recent tv programs for my mac book pro as I have many times before.
However, shen I try to download them I get the message: " All downloads and file copies have been paused. The disk you are attempting to use is full."
I thought all itunes downloads are downloaded onto an idisk, which is online memory storage. In that account I have used a fraction of my 19,456 MB. On my hard drive I have well over 1 GB of space left so what disk is being referred to in the stop sign message and how can I correct the memory allotment on that disk to download my purchased itunes programs. I am using the latest itunes, 8.1
This also happened last year for a while and mac support said to delete and reinstall itunes. When 8.1 was downloaded the problem appears to have been solved. And now it is back.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Irrespective of your iTunes downloads you are going to run into serious problems with only 1GB of free space. The general recommendation on these forums is that one should have 10% free space as a minimum or 15% as an ideal.
Having as little as 1GB could result in system corruption or, at worst, HD damage. I recommend that you free up some space as a matter of urgency.
If you would like any guidance on what is safe to remove post back but a good starter, often neglected, is to empty your Trash.
Good luck,
Adrian

If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

Since installing Snow Leopard and Lion two weeks ago, my iTunes program opens seemingly at will. It usually starts playing music, too. What is causing this?

Since installing Snow Leopard and then Lion on my Intel-based iMac two weeks ago, my iTunes program seems to open at will whenever the computer is on. It often begins playing music, as well. What is causing this and how do I make it stop?

There are ways to minimize, mitigate, and help avoid a lot of problems.
Bootable backups.
Zeroing a drive twice before using, and format it with SL DVD Apple Disk Utility for sure.
Even a clean install should import old apps without having to reauthorize.
If you must do an upgrade, do it from the SL DVD, after repairing the drive and be sure to use the SL version of Alsoft Disk Warrior (4.2).
Wait six months before jumping on a new OS.
10% is still too many. Yes, it is more sensitive to RAM and hard drive errors, doesn't like some controllers; most ext hdd cases; and enough software to make for test-only status. And it only IDs some known incompatible applications, drivers, extensions, etc and does not remove even those always in best manner.
Plus, there are problems with the new Rosetta and the cache files it now uses. So some apps and plug-ins will cause more trouble. Not all are ready. Good reason to hold off for the months it takes.
Other devices act different as far as on/off behavior.
(Migrating from G5s to Mac Pro can cause all kinds of problems, weird behavior, sluggish system, and why anyone that went down that road was strongly recommended to NOT use Migration Assistant for any of their applications, and to ONLY do clean/fresh installs of any apps. If you skipped that day, didn't read the Guide to M.A., or didn't want to do fresh installs then, your system could have been on borrowed time. If you did do clean install of applications, great.
Installing SL can result in a corrupt directory - I think and it "seems" to be happening, but no real proof, just gut feeling and instinct (underlying file system problem? weak sectors that pre-existed waiting to happen?).
Remember all the "there just aren't a lot of 64-bit drivers" for Vista and XP? it's come home to roost.
... my guess is not enough incense and offerings. To hop into TimeMachine and SuperDuper backup images and pull the 1TB for another day (week, month, year).

That can sometimes be caused by a damaged ipod photo cache.
If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Itunes program not responding

My Itunes program is not responding. Any ideas what I need to do to fix the problem?

I´ll take my chances and reply to this as I have exactly the same problem.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
No, F-secure AV 2006. Still, I disabled it
(2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
Launching QT before iTunes works well. No problem. Launching QT after I´ve tried to launch iTunes, nothing happens.
All the processes remains under the processes tab.
The itunes.exe is impossible to kill though. I can remove any other process but this one is impossible.
I tried reboot, disabled the internet connection and my anti-virus but it still refuses to start. I just get the hour clock, that disappears and then...nothing. Not even an error message.
Oh, I forgot: after I´ve tried to start iTunes I can´t access Explorer. Program not responding. So I must reboot after every attempt to resolve the problem.
