When I click on iTunes it says QuickTime not found

After I got a movie file from a friend (and a player), everytime I tried going on iTunes it would say "QuickTime not found. QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes."
So I uninstalled iTunes and redownloaded the set up and installed iTunes. It's still saying the same thing. What is wrong?

It might be worth trying a complete removal of iTunes and Quicktime followed by a phased reinstall.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and also the version of QUicktime that does not include iTunes (it is not the defualt option):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Use the following method to remove iTunes and QUicktime etc:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Restart your computer.
Install Quicktime and check to see it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

When i download iTunes, it says "QuickTime not found"

i downloaded iTunes but when i try to play it, it says "QuickTime not found" and i go download quicktime itself and when its done it says Quicktime not found again.
When i go to my control panel and try to remove the program it says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." And when i try to delete it, it says the source cannot be found.
I've tried rebooting my computer but it doesnt do anything.
Please help.

I have tried to seek for it on the computer but no.
Se picture

I had the same problem and managed to fix it by doing the following :
First go to the control panel
Choose Add/Remove programs
Find iTunes in the list
Select "Change" and then, when it comes up with the option, "Repair"
I found that this fixed the problem for me and I was able to do the update without coming up with this error - hope it helps!

ITunes won't run on Windows 7: Quicktime not found. .. But Quicktime works!

Installed latest version of iTunes 10 on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. Occasionally iTunes runs, but usually it gives the error: "Quicktime was not found. Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again".
I have done this about 3 times, making sure to uninstall everything apple (itunes, quicktime, bonjour, etc.) Once I even followed a recommendation to delete all application data and reinstall. Rebooting, etc.
Quicktime runs absolutely fine.
I even tried repairing quicktime, installing quicktime by itself after iTunes was installed. No luck. Any ideas???

I've downloaded the iTunes installation file and tried to install or repair 3 times but keep getting a message that a required component is not installed (-45075).
Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

QuickTime not found error when trying to run iTunes 64 bit on W7, QuickTime not found error when trying to run iTunes 64 bit on W7

I have quicktime installed on windows 7, 64 bit, and then installed the 64 bit version of iTunes. Install is successful, but when I try ot run iTunes, I get an error - "QuickTime was not found". Any suggestions?

I have the same problem, and while I can 'fix' it with the approach described here, I have to 'fix' it that way EVERY TIME I launch itunes. I suppose the lousy support for mainstream computers is apple's way of saying, 'well of course you can't use your phone, you're not living in a (TM) apple home (TM) please sell your existing home and purchase one from apple if you want your phone to work.' I never would have imagined that as a computer programmer it would be a multi-hour/failed installation process to get iTunes and the iPhone4 working properly. What a joke.

"Quicktime not found"

I upgraded to windows 7 64 from vista business 64 (though I had the problem with vista, thought this would fix it) itunes will not open. I uninstall it than I can install it and it will open once. When I exit out of it, and try to open it again, I get "Quicktime was not found" error. Quicktime is installed and yet works, but itunes doesn't. I've tried about all the suggestions I can find and nothing works. I tried installing just quicktime standalone then itunes, doesn't work. Any other suggestions other than starting from scratch?
Apples wonderful support I can't find a single email address nor am I paying for support to help figure out a FREE program. Microsoft may have outsourced but it seems apple just got rid of their customer support. My only hope is here.

Will I be able to resync my music (as well as my wife's music) from our ipods into itunes?
After you reinstall iTunes.

Strange "Quicktime not found" error - unless connected to corporate network

I'm attempting to get iTunes running on a new HP laptop from work running Win 7 64 bit. My user login was created by the corporate IT group as an Active Directory object. I was granted administrator rights on the PC. There is an additional "temp" user that also has admin rights.
I installed the 64 bit version of iTunes and I get the "Quicktime was not found." error every time I try to launch iTunes. That is except when I'm connected to the corporate network. I can connect and it works and disconnect and it throws the Quicktime error. I have connected and disconnected many times and this behavior is 100% reliable.
I have tried several complete uninstalls and reinstalls. I have tried both the Active Directory login and the local login and both accounts experience this behavior. I have performed repair installs on both iTunes and Quicktime. Quicktime runs perfectly whether connected to the corporate net or not.
I'm running out of options. I need this to work as I've gone rather long without updating my iPhone. All I can think of at this point is the fact that the PC shipped with a Win 7 Home license which was upgraded to a Win 7 Pro license. Maybe there is some permission problem or even a group policy issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Many of us on my corporate network are having this problem too. (We are all running 9.1.1.12)
I am the IT guy for about 1000 users, and most of the users with cells have iphones. Our biggest problem right now is those users with iphones and laptops. We install iTunes so they can sync and all that.
As soon as they disconnect the network cable off the corporate network, and try to load itunes, they get the "Quicktime could not be found". I can reliably reproduce this.
1. Plug into corporate network.
2. Load itunes, works great.
3. Close itunes.
4. Disconnect your network cable.
5. Load itunes, gives error.
This means, of course, that they can't use itunes at home, or on the road, with this one exception:
If they are connected to the vpn, it works great.
I have tried uninstalling itunes, and installing 9.0, but I had the same problem.
Add me to the list of people having the problem. I would love to get this resolved for my users.
Things that I have not tried yet, but would like to:
- Install a version of itunes earlier than 9
- Install itunes from home, and bring my laptop to work.
Thanks guys!

ITunes: "File not found"

I have been having a problem for quite some time with iTunes and I can't seem to get an answer as to how to resolve it. On many of my songs listed in the iTunes library, when I click on the song I get an error message to the effect of "File not found. Would you like iTunes to try to locate this file?", and when I say "yes" to this, I get my "iTunes Music" folder (where my music files are stored) and I have to search around and find the file (which I am usually able to do) and then it plays. However, when sometime later I may try to play the song again, I get the same error message and have to go through the same process. Can anyone explain why this may be happening and how I can prevent it from happening again? What is the simplest way to store your music files on your hard drive to ensure iTunes captures everything and does not have difficulty locating files? Many thanks for your help and advice!

This really shouldn't happen. There are no setting in iTunes to prevent it.
If you want to do a bit of detective work, you find out where iTunes this the missing file is located.
If you want to try this, identify a track or two with exclamation marks.
Open iTunes Library.xml with WORDPAD. (it's in the iTunes folder)
Use search to look for the track or album name. If you know the actual file name you can use that but watch out for spaces, the space character is represented by %20.
WHen you have found a track or album you need to scroll to the line starting:
<key>Location</key>
This contains the path and file name.
Is it correct, or something different?
That might give you clue about files being moved or renamed.
If it is all correct them something odd is happening with iTunes.

ITunes folder not found

I recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes (6.0.5.20) ever since then, I try to open iTunes and all I get is the following error...."The Folder "iTunes" can not be found or created, and is required. The Default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
I hvae tried everything from uninstalling/reinstall, to cleaning out the registery, to everything else. I would like to update my iPod with some new music and audio books, but unfortunately it's not working......
Any help would be awesome on how to get my iPod working again....Thanks
Myke

the best place to start with that one is here:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where My Music doesn't show up as an option in TweakUI, try the alternate procedure from this Nigel Carpenter post:

Error in trying to run iTunes.....iTunes folder not found

I have a Sony PC and recently had my drives partitioned into a single drive. For whatever reason, this has screwed my Itunes software. I have gone through 10+ uninstall and re-install.
I have now gotten to the point of being able to install the software, agreeing to the license agreement but then get the following error box..."The folder iTunes cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My Music folder.' After clicking ok in the dialog box, nothing happens...no iTunes, no nothing.
I have no clue. I followed the Apple suport page fix and it has not worked.
I have all of the music files on the PC and they seem to be in order. But I am wits end regarding my ability to get iTunes started.

hi Michael!
hmmm. here's a technique that we used to get some success with in the days prior to the KB doc showing up (scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the relevant post in the thread):

Registry settings used by Itunes drivers not found

I just installed the latest version of itunes after having an old version previously installed. Every time I run Itunes now I receive an error message. It says something about registry settings missing that are used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs. It suggests re installing itunes and uninstalling any other CD burning software. I have reinstalled itunes perhaps 6 times now and i have not installed any other CD burning software - ever - windows media player was always installed. I don't think WMP should be interferring though since it didn't before. I receive this error message everytime i run itunes. Also, this may be related, I cannot consolidate my library. Everytime i select the option nothing happens. itunes does not react whatsoever.

toonz here is what it says now, but like I said it is working fine now.
