  • ITunes skipping during audio while browsing the web - Quicktime issue?

    iTunes 11.1.2 for Win 7 is skipping during playback of audio when I am browsing the web.  Is this a Quicktime issue?  I tried changing the audio output device latency but it didn't do anything different as far as skipping goes.  Any suggestions?

    Actually, that doesn't work either.  Here's the solution that is working consistently:
    Go to iTunes, and Preferences > Playback tab > Play Audio Using > Windows Audio Session instead of Direct Sound.  There we go, that works!! 

  • Issues installing itunes + quicktime error code 2203

    Every time I try install version 7 itunes + quicktime I get an error code 2203. HELP!!
      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

  • New Itunes/Quicktime Download Issues - Help!

    I had gotten a automatic notice to upgrade Quicktime and Itunes, whioh I did. Needed to update anyway as I want to upgrade my Iphone. Now when I try to launch iTunes it tells me I have a Quicktime Issue and it will not open Itunes. After reading the help index, which tells you to remove Quicktime and reinstall and try again, I get the same error message. Now, it tells me to remove Itunes and reinstall? If I do that what happens to my music, images, etc? Do I lose anything or do I need a specific process to ensure I don't loose anything?
    I have 75% backed up but without access to Itunes I cannot backup the remaining 25% before I try this removal and reinstall thing.
    FYI- I am running XP. Any thougths, anyone...
    Thanks

    hey, i am running xp aswell and ran into the same problem after i had to install the new quicktime to be able to open itunes one day. has anyone gotten back to you with a solution? i do not knwo computers that well and i dont wanna lose all my music!!
    thanks

  • I cannot install iTunes 10.5. Problem is that there are rest of installations. I uninstalled all iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apples components, but problem goes on. I run WIN XP SP 3 32 BITS. I accept ideas to solve, thanks.

    A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
    When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • ITunes / Quicktime won't install - error message during in installation

    My computer, a Dell running with Windows Vista, has not been able to have iTunes & Quicktime installed on it in months. I've attempted to install it a countless number of times & tried a variety of things with my computer to install it but it just doesn't work - I get the same error message everytime. I can't even remember what happened to make it start acting so ridiculous.
    It always starts out looking good and everything seems to be working pretty well, the green bar filling up pretty quickly, but then the 'Status' gets to about 'Publishing product information' and the error message pops up and I can't install it. It goes along the lines of "A error occurred during the installation of assembly: ..." then it goes on to say 'Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054F'. Here's a screenshot of the error message with the long whatever on it:
    http://i46.tinypic.com/qoesm1.png
    I believe I get the same message even when I attempt to download the two software separately (iTunes & Quicktime).
    Can any one tell me what needs to be done? I have no idea what to try anymore. All help will be much appreciated. Thank you .
    P.S.: If it helps, I can't really reinstall Internet Explorer (removed it when I downloaded Firefox).

    Thanks!
    (3) And I do not believe I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 installed on this computer, as I just tried to install it and I received this error message: http://i45.tinypic.com/a3m7bc.png
    Okay ... that rules out one possible treatment. Sometimes people with the redistributable installed can get past this by applying a security update for it ... but it looks like the same sorts of problems are preventing it from installing.
    (2) And last time I checked my History I had several failures I believe, however now I only see one failed update, that being Update for Windows (KB944036). The error code listed 8000FFFF. Apparently it's an update for Internet Explorer 8.
    The other primary strategy we (I?) have for dealing with these is to attempt to treat any underlying issues on the PC that prevent Windows Updates from installing. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that your 8000FFFF is related to your IE being uninstalled, I think we'd probably better try following up on the following document:
    [Error when you download updates using Windows Update or Microsoft Update: 8000FFFF|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414]
    After applying those measures, do your Windows update and/or iTunes installation failures clear up?

  • Tried and tried to reinstall iTunes/QuickTime but never works...

    Hi,
    I had a problem with iTunes since about a week ago. Basically I couldn't start it at all. It just came up with the Windows Error reporting tool - even if I reported the rror it didn't give a link to find a fix or anything.
    So I've tried over and over again to fix this. Gone through the registry after removing iTunes and QuickTime, but no luck. It is a QuickTime issue, I'm pretty sure of that. I'm able to fully remove iTunes fine, but uninstalling QuickTime is where it gets difficult.
    There is no uninstaller for the installation on my PC. I've reinstalled, but there's still an entry in add/remove programs for another installation of it. Now when I start iTunes, even though QuickTime 7.1 was installed with iTunes as it's part of the installer, when I start it it says my version of QuickTime is 7.0.2, and 7.0.3 or above is required.
    Please,please,please can someone help me with a full manual uninstall - or provide an uninstaller maybe?! I think manually is going to be the only sure way. I've already gone through Program Files, user profiles, then searched C:\ for 'QuickTime' and deleted anything I could. Then I went through the registry and got rid of as much as I could from there. I must've missed something, maybe I need to go back through and remove anything related to Apple Computers and try again.
    Another thing, I'm not sure if it's a cause ... but when I did re-install iTunes I got a strange error:
    Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
    C:\WINDOWS|Installer\{C21D5524-A970-42FA-AC8A-59B8C7CDCA31}\1033.MST
    So I also reinstalled the Windows Installer (3.1) and tried again, btu it still gives that error. Seems to finish the installation though, and doesnt actually fail.
    So, in summary I guess I need to uninstall the latest install of iTunes and QuickTime, then work on this other QuickTime instance. If anyone can advise or help me fix this in anyway - I'd be VERY greatful!! I can't update my iPod at all....
    Dell Dimension 4500   Windows XP Pro   Service Pack2

    this looks like a QuickTime issue. 7.0.2 could be a bear to extract from a PC sometimes, and sometimes didn't show up in Add/Remove.
    first let's just doublecheck to make sure that you've still got the latest version of Windows Installer on the PC (there's a 3.1v1 and a 3.1v2). head into your Add/Remove programs. if there's a "KB893803" next to it, you're fine. if not, see:
    Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
    now, let's see if we can get that QT 7.0.2 out of there. here's what we'll try first.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
    Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
    once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • ITunes & quicktime crashes

    Hi guys...
    I've recently installed iTunes & quicktime onto my laptop, however when trying to run either application they immediately crash on start up..
    iTunes.exe give the error : "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in iTunes.exe [1132]
    and as i have visual studio installed I'm given the option to debug.... VS gives the error as :
    "Unhandled exception at 0x0015dd6b in itunes.exe : 0xC00000005 : access violation writing location 0x048ad57b"
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times to completely remove the applications as described [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698]
    It would be nice if iTunes worked... Any ideas ??
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated...
    Cheers

    OK, that error mesasge is very helpful
    Quicktime does not install Quicktime.cpl in the system32 folder, but a number of codec packs that can cause trouble do install it there.
    Have got any of the following: ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec Also WinAVI video converter. There may be others I don't know about.
    If so uninstall them. Then go through the full removal process of iTunes/Quicktime as in your original link, but you can delete anything with Quicktime in the name from the system32 folder.
    Then download fresh copies of iTunes and the stand alone Quicktime installers:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Install Quicktime and check that it works, if it does, go on and install iTunes.
    If I am wrong about the codec issue, we will have to think again.

  • HT1386 iTouch/iTunes sync issue

    My iTouch is (all of a sudden) not able to connect with iTunes (PC) with a USB connection.  The PC doesn't appear to recognize/acknowledge it.  No reason to believe there's any software corruption or hardware damage...my iPhone continues to connect/sync with issue.  Any idea what may be causing this or how to resolve?

    Did you do everything here:

  • Itunes installation issues, Windows Vista x64

    Ok, so I have been having issues with the new update of iTunes. I had tried to avoid updating because I had heard there were some issues with the cross format compatablility of the new software but after doing a massive cleanup on my harddrive i figured I had held out long enough.  I updated, and I immediatly began having issues with the iTunes store. The bar would load about half way and just stick. I lost all the money on my giftcards from christmas and I couldn't buy the new music I wanted. I tried all of the troubleshooting I could find on the Apple website as well as the MS site, but no luck, so I uninstalled Itunes and thought that reinstalling it would fix the issue. I downloaded the installer exe. but every time I run it, it tells me that "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occured durring installation. Your system hasn't been modified."
    I have  purged my computer of apple software, both 32 and 64 bit. I have no idea what else to do, And i need a fix soon because I have people relying on my ability to have new, high quality music on a bi-weekly basis.
    Thanks to anyone who can help, I am desprate at this point.

    Try following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:

    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour

  • 8.2.1 error message "iTunes + Quicktime" has an invalid signature.

    I am getting this error message when I am trying to download & install the 8.2.1 update. The entire message states "iTunes + Quicktime" has an invalid signature, it will not be installed. I saw another post started by Cfrolich, but it doesn't look like they got the problem fixed. Has anyone had this same error message? Can anyone help??

    I have not had this problem before but the latest update to iTunes + Quicktime, offered today, puts me in the same situation.
    The web is covered with reports of this issue over the years, always "iTunes + Quicktime has an invalid signature", but nothing I can see which is a good fix for the problem.
    Tried chkdisk, install manually doesn't work, the installer just keeps trying.
    Tried installing QT 7.6.4 independently from the Apple download page, that didn't help either.
    If this is so prevalent, why isn't there more on the main Apple site about it?

  • I can´t uninstall Itunes, quicktime, bonjour, etc. it says i don´t have permission to access the key???

    Yep, there seems to be an issue with this. In addition to getting that error on my iTunes on my PC, I get an error when trying to update apps on my iPhone 5.

  • No function after iTunes/Quicktime update

    After restarting my G4 Power Mac when the iTunes/Quicktime update had installed, my screen went to blue and froze. I did a hard reboot and now any program I open quits within seconds and I can't open any of my folders! When I try to open something, everything but the dock (toolbar and desktop icons) disappears and come back in a few seconds. Is this an iTunes issue or is there something else going on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode. Hold down the Shift key during startup. If that doesn't do it, try holding down the X key during startup. If that doesn't start it up, I think you need to post over in the forum that applies to your particular machine (iBook, MacBook, iMac, etc.) The pros over there might be able to help. Don't hesitate to post back if you have more questions.

  • ITunes Crashing Issues

    First of all, sorry if I've posted this thread in the wrong section.
    Completely out of the blue, my iTunes started to crash whenever I try to sync my ipod touch or when I try to import/drag and drop music into the library. I've tried many things suggested on several messaging boards but none of them seem to work. I didn't do anything specific to make iTunes crash (such as update to software), it randomly started to happen when I went to drag and drop music in to my library. Previous to this, it had been fine.
    I'll try to list all of the suggestions I've tried.
    -Removing iTunes/Quicktime and reinstalling.
    -Removing iTunes/Quicktime and all programs associating with the program.
    -Completely removing all traces of iTunes including from my registry etc.
    -System restoring to a date which I didn't have this problem.
    -Using a program called 'ByeTunes' to remove all traces of iTunes. However, this resulted in me not being able to install iTunes due to it not being able to find certain locations on my drive.
    Thankyou for any help you can provide.

    Same as above - out of the blue crashes starting 1/26/11. I have WIN7, Ipod touch 4. I can manually drag songs and videos. That's just annoying. So, the sync issue is clearly software - any ideas?
    I have tried:
