Itunes + quicktime error message - service 'ipod service' (ipod service) fa

Help! Got new iPod Nano for Christmas and I STILL cannot get it to show up in iTunes - it has showed up in my device manager - with an over the icon - "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28) To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Drivers. - Then another error - Wizard cannot find the software to instal -(my iPod did not come with a disk!!!) I have done the "R's" several times! Downloaded and installed and uninstalled several x's from iTunes. Changed USB locations - I have three to choose from. Now - I am 'repairing' the latest installation from iTunes and I get this "itunes + quicktime error message - service 'ipod service' (ipod service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". Any ideas??? I'm not a computer genious....but I'm not a complete newbie, either! I am so FRUSTRATED!!!! This should be that difficult - I added additional RAM and it was a breeze and successful! This is just ridiculous! Any one have any other ideas???? I have read so much - even emptied the battery and recharged!!! HELP! Please! I just wanna hear some music!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Thanks - I got it to install by going into 'run' to get to permissions, etc. So that seems OK - but my computer is still not acknowledging iPod software and for some reason iTunes is now showing 'the URL could not be opened' when I go into Help for iPod. It's still not showing up in Itunes, either

Windows XP Pro service pack 2

okay. let's try getting an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing

Installing iTunes/quicktime: Error 2783

I bought my iPod touch 4th gen last night & have stayed up all night trying to download iTunes/quicktime so that I can sync & set up. Everytime I download iTunes I get Error 2783 and it says 'The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2783.I have tried all the resolutions in the troubleshooting sections but nothing is working! I have tried uninstalling everything to do with Apple on my laptop to no avail. Please help!

Please help. ITUNES has error 2093. re-install ITUNES has error code 3.

Hi,
My daughter and son have TUNES libraries. Clicking on ANY of the 2 libraries gets an error -2093 and the comment to reinstall. I reinstall and this gets an error code of -3. I saw a thread where someone had NORTON ( I don't). I use Microsoft, CA, and Spyware Doctor. Never had a problem before, but you've heard that one. Please help Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Short of a hammer to the computer, I can/will do anything it needs, but I don't have a clue what to do. THANKS !!!!

Do a QuickTime standalone install. That usually fixes the 2093 error.

Save it to your your hard drive - don't install over the internet.

Can't Open iTunes-Quicktime error

When I last tried updating my iTunes I had to cut the installation short and ever since I haven't been able to start iTunes. It tells me that Quicktime was not found and to reinstall iTunes. I've tried reinstalling iTunes many times but it doesn't work. My computer says I have Quicktime so I don't know what to do. Please Help!!

I experienced this same problem and struggled with it for two weeks. I had uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I had even installed Quicktime and Itunes as standalone products but still could not get past that error message or the "find Quicktime.msi" message. What finally fixed it was uninstalling (again) both Quicktime AND Itunes. I recommend backing up your music files just in case. Info on how can be found on the Apple website. Then go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 and read about and install Windows Installer Cleanup. After installing it, run it and select any Quicktime, Apple and Itunes products only. You should include the MobileMe and Safari programs, as well as anything that is related to Itunes. If you are unsure, verify them first before selecting them. Once you know, select the programs from the ones Windows Installer Cleanup lists one at a time or hold down the Ctrl button and select multiple programs. Just be sure you are not selecting a program not related to Apple, Quicktime or Itunes. Once that is done, restart your computer and download Quicktime as a stand alone product (not with Itunes). Then download Itunes as a stand-alone product (not with Quicktime). I did not select Itunes as the default player, but I don't think it will make a difference. It FINALLY solved my problem. Apparently I had bits of the programs still on my computer after removing them, and it was messing up the new installations. Good Luck!

ITunes/Quicktime error

I was updating my iTunes. While installin it gave me the following message (Quicktime installation Failed Error Code:-3). I clicked okay and it said installation finished. I then tried to open iTunes and it gave me this message(Quicktime version 6.5.2 is installed iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.0.3 or later. Please reinstall itunes).
I have reinstalled iTunes 2 or 3 times over the last 3 days and I keep getting the same message.
What can I do????
Dell Windows XP Pro

hi traczy!
I then tried to open iTunes and it gave me this message(Quicktime version 6.5.2 is installed iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.0.3 or later. Please reinstall itunes).
let's first try a careful standalone QT 7.0.3 install.
Download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.3 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.3 Standalone Installer
if you get an error message on the QT install, tell us what it says. (include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
if the install goes through, will your itunes launch?
keep us posted.
love, b

Quicktime error 2093 windows xp need help

can not unload quciktime or get to load new quicktime can not run on windows xp I get error code 2093.
went to open the quicktime exe folder and running as me do not see how to over ride or check adminiatrator box

Can you check something for me please? (This isn't a cure in itself but may give us a heads-up as to the source of the problem.)
Create a new Windows User account with full administrative rights. Log out of your normal account and log into the new account. (Don't use Fast User switching to move between accounts.)
In the new user account, try opening the QuickTime Player. Do you still get a 2093 in there? Or does it launch properly for you?

Can't new iTunes/Quicktime - Error Message

Hi,
I've done this in a separate post b/c I didn't see anyone else with this error message. ITunes starts to download normally, but then I get this message:
"Errors encountered while performing the operation. Look at the information window for more details."
Where is the information window? There is nothing on my screen that tells me what the error is, like an error number that other people seem to have... I've tried downloading on a few separate occasions and I keep getting this message.
Thanks in advance if you can help or have suggestions.

hi AndreaB!
"Errors encountered while performing the operation. Look at the information window for more details."
... i can't recall having seen this particular error message before, either ... but my memory is fallible ...
just checking to see if i'm clear on your situation ... you're getting this on an itunes installation? if so, are you running the install online, or are you downloading and saving the file to your hard-drive, and then running the installation from there?
if the latter, is the error showing up during the download or the install?
love, b

QuickTime does not start on Windows 7. Error 2093.

I am unable to launch QuickTime on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, I get a "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # -2093" error message. This is particularly disturbing since for some odd reason iTunes seems to require QuickTime and I need iTunes to sync my iPod (nice set of dependencies).
Anyhow, I've been getting this error since upgrading from Vista to 7; I've uninstalled both apps completely (though the problem seems to be exclusive to QuickTime) and reinstalled a lot of times. Oddly enough, from time to time a reinstall works, iTunes launches and I get to change my music, but that lasts until a reboot where it stops working again, and now I'm there; further reinstalls haven't been able to make it work again and I'm growing more and more frustrated.
I've read that the problem could be a missing quicktime.qts (or something like that) in the system32 folder of Windows, but I checked and it's there.
Between reinstalls I've also cleaned my registry for stray QuickTime info on it, but to no effect.
I am desperately in need of help; my iPod is pretty useless without iTunes.
Thanks in advance.

*Replying to astrodyn*
I am getting the error message you show. Ie. Entry point etc. in Windows Vista.
Okay. Go "Start > Computer". In Computer, go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View tab". Make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected and that "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked. Okay out of the tab.
You next step depends on whether or not you've got a 32-bit or a 64-bit Vista.
*If you're 32-bit:* Open the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. When you find the QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop. Does QuickTime launch properly now?
*If you're 64-bit:*
First, open the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. If you find a QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop.
Second, open the C:\Windows\sysWOW64\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. If you find a QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop.
Once you've cleared System32 and SysWOW84 of any copies of QTCF.dll, does QuickTime launch properly now?

ITunes and Quicktime error...

Hiya...
I've read all the threads and still can't find an answer to my problem, I hope someone can help me...
when i try to open iTunes the following message pops up:
"QuickTime failed to initialize (error -2093).
QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please re-install iTunes. "
... so I re-install iTunes and everything is hunky-dorey until after I turn off my pc and come back to go into iTunes... then the message pops up again...
... I have gone into task Manager Processes and iTunes.exe is there when the message pops up, but in the applications tab, the note is there about QuickTime not being able to run...
any ideas?? I'm getting tired of having to re-install iTunes everyday!!

QuickTime...Error #2093

I've been unable to access my iTunes on my main computer and I keep getting the message "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error #2093. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer". I have always been able to log-on to my iTunes until recently but don't know what is happening now. Can anyone tell me what's going on? And what can I do to fix this? (It's telling me to "Uninstall iTunes, then re-install iTunes again...if I do this will I lose all my music )

I've been unable to access my iTunes on my main computer and I keep getting the message "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error #2093.
Quickly doublechecking something, gus ... is that a #2093 or a #2096? (The #2096 when launching iTunes has been much more common in recent times, and usually indicates something different from the #2093.)
If it's a #2093 when launching iTunes, could you let us know if your QuickTime Player is currently launching, please? If not, what error message do you get from your QuickTime Player?

ITunes and Quicktime Error after automatice Apple update, need help!!!

So I currently have a new labtop with windows vista. I have been runining iTunes for the pass 3 months already no problems. The Apple automatic update has never caused any problems till now. Quicktime needed to be updated today, and I accecpted the update, prior to that iTunes and Quicktime was working properly. Once the quicktime update was complete, it restarted my computer like usual. Then when I tried to open iTunes this error came up:
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
Now I checked the audio configuration and nothing was changed or anything, that has not been touched at all, so I still think it had to do with the update. The next error was came up when I tried to open Quicktime and it read:
"Runtime Error!
Program C://ProgramFiles/QuickTime/QuickTimePlayer.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information"
So as long as I have been using Quicktime and iTunes I have never encountered this, I tried to re-install but the error kept coming up after it was installed. Please help me out!
