ITunes & QuickTime Player Issues

For the past few days I have been unable to load iTunes. I have tried to reinstall both iTunes, but have encountered many problems. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes with QuickTime Players from the iTunes website, and followed the installation procedures but when I click on the desktop icon I get the following error messages…
QuickTime failed to initialise Error # - 2095
Please make sure QuickTime is properly
installed on this computer
I have tried to uninstall both iTunes and QuickTime using various methods including:
Control Panel>Add or remove programs
Cleaner>Tools>Uninstall
But am convinced neither of these methods has been successful as every time I attempt to uninstall and re-install from scratch I am unable to run iTunes and encounter problems with QuickTime Player.
Has anyone else encountered similar problems, and could anyone assist me in where I am going wrong and how I can get iTunes up and running again.
This is the last throw of the dice for me, as I have spent the best part of an afternoon and evening trying to sort this problem with no joy whatsoever.
Thanks

Thanks, it working now. However, I am getting a new error message now when I want to make iTunes as my default media player. Here is the error message:
It's similiar to my previous issue. This time I need to create permission for iTunes. Where would I have to go this time to gain permission? Please let me know and thanks again.

ITunes/QuickTime Player Failes to Launch

I am wondering if downloading the latest update was a good idea. When I attempt to launch iTunes I receive the following error:
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected an problem with your audio configuration."
Havins seen some other posts make reference to QuickTime Player settings (granted they were for an older version of iTunes) I thought I would open it up and take a look around. When I did this it failed to launch and produced the following error:
"Runtime error. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
Everything worked quite well before the software download. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

yep, a problem with your QuickTime generally causes the "audio configuration" iTunes error. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
the following document may be of some assistance:
iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes had detected an audio configuration problem

QuickTime Player Issue

Am unable to open QT Player. Prompt sys "QuickTime Player requires Windows 2000 or later". I made sure that compatability mode was disabled in QT and iTunes. I am running Vista 64bit. Any suggestions?

The Display setting boxes when checked will produce the error QT requires 2000 or later on a XP computer. So don't know why it didn't work for you but I believe your using Vista which could be the difference? Or possibly permissions, are you the computer administrator? Also does your video card software have settings, that's about all I can think of

Quicktime Player Issue (Can't find appropriate forum)

What should I do in order to get sound playing off .avi files? My Quicktime Player (Pro) says I should go download a codec, but it just brings me to the web site and never says which. There doesn't seem to have any codec suitable for the purpose. What should I do?

I would start with Perian.
Here is a link to the Quicktime for Mac OS discussions.

Quicktime player issues

When I open my quicktime player it automatically opens all the previous videos I've watched. How do I make it stop?

This is a relatively new OS feature which seems to be causing no end of problems for Mac users who have developed poor work flow habits. By default the latest Mac operating systems will "remember" which project/application windows are open when an application closes. Basically, you have three options with the QT X Player:
1) You can close each movie after viewing it. (I.e., this is my normal work habit based on years of using the application and is what I normally recommend other users do on a routine basis.
2) Users who have developed the habit of letting the QT player close all open movie player windows when the QT X Player app is closed can continue to close all open players by simply holding down the the "Option" key when closing the app as depicted here...
3) Users who don't like this feature can turn it off system-wide by going to the "System Preferences... > General" window and ticking the "Close windows when quitting an application" option. However, as I use this feature extensively in many applications to restore projects "in progress" to the same status as when I last closed them, I don't usually recommend this option.
In any case, use whichever option best suits your current application work flow habits.

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

QUICKTIME PLAYER BUG on 30" ADC

This is a new thread continuing a thread which someone wrongly flagged as having 1 "Solved" answers available.
For reference the previous thread is here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6101938#6101938
The issue affects Fullscreen video (and some resized video) in Quicktime Player in Leopard (all versions of OS & QT up to of 14 Dec 2007)
It occurs on Resolutions higher than 1920x1080 but more specifically 2560x1600 on 30" Displays
It affects PPC & Intel with either ATi & Nvidia Graphics cards.
The video playback can be "choppy" (especially HD content) and some people like myself are experiencing a shearing of the video vertically just left of centre.
All other software (Quickview, iTunes, Final Cut, et al) seem to play the same video correctly indicating that it is a Quicktime Player issue.
Also when any overlay (AV control, Adjustments, etc) are present over the Quicktime Player it plays back smoothly and then reverts to choppy and/or shearing when the overlay is cleared.
A few work-arounds are to use QuickView or iTunes, or to lower the resolution of the display to 1920x1200. However this is absolutely unacceptable as many of us will have paid 1000s for our setup including an 30" Apple Cinema Display to run at 2560x1600 and use Quicktime Player because of its video adjustment features.

I think all you need to do is Reset your iPhone (press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release). My iPhone 5 on 7.1.1 does not do this, so it is not an iOS bug, just a quirk in your particular installation. Worse case, you may need to do a Restore of the iPhone, but try Reset first.

Videos look awful in iTunes, much better in Quicktime Player

I was, just as many others, deceived by the quality of video clips bought on iTMS (I started with the beautiful Love Profusion, by Madonna, and M.Jackson's Thriller).
The picture appeared in particular pixellated in sull screen, this for many videos.
(and the interface is so stupid : why do you have to play a clip in order to be able to switch to full screen, except maybe to keep Quicktime Pro's full screen in QT Player option alive ?)
Then I just remembered how my videos played beautifully in Quicktime Player, and often awfully in iTunes, since iTunes 4.9.
So I tried them in Quicktime Player (I have a 7.0 Pro license). (select in iTunes, command-R, command-O, command-F, you're done)
They look much much better.
And same goes for my non-iTMS videos, even after being converted to the iPod-friendly format with Quicktime Player.
I just remember reading from a member of the iTunes team how quick it had been to add video capabilities to iTunes (since 4.9 I think).
Maybe it was dine a bit too quickly.
I just thought it would have been fixed BEFORE the release of a video-capable iPod and the sale of video clips on the iTMS.
I now hope that on the video capable iPod (waiting for mine), these videos look more like in QT Player than like in iTunes Mac.
It looks like iTunes 6 forgets to or cannot do H.264 post-processing correctly. By the way, this post-processsing is part of the standard specification, according to Apple's technology brief
(http://images.apple.com/quicktime/pdf/H264TechnologyBrief.pdf), which means that the encoding process takes into account the de-pixellization done in post-processing (unlike divx for example, if I understand correctly), and that iTunes decoding is not even compliant to the H.264 standard.
Having such a bad, broken video player as iTunes 6 for both quality and ergonomy (at least on Mac) is SO STUPID.
I hope someone fixes the quality issue very quickly (Itunes 6.01?). If this person had time to make a "not as stupid as it is right now" interface for playing videos, that would make me happy again.
If anyone can confirm if this is a Mac only, or Mac WIndows issue, I'd be glad to know.

I do see a slight difference in quality between an .m4v file (purchased from the iTunes Music Store) when played in iTunes and QT player. If freezing at a specific frame, you can definitely notice the iTunes software seems to blur things and is less sharp (colors more dull, less pronounced).
As far as the interface is concerned for viewing videos inside of iTunes, the only real concern I have is the performance. QT player resize/scrubbing is much more effective.

ITunes HD movie rentals/purchases don't play in QuickTime player

I am trying to play HD movie rentals/purchases in QuickTime player. Although I can play them without problems in iTunes, opening the movie file in QuickTime player only gives me a grey screen and no sound. The "grey screen" issue occurs several times in the community, but for my case I haven't found any solution so far. I am using Windows 7 (64-bit), and I have all the latest versions of iTunes and QuickTime Player (free version) installed. I appreciate any suggestions for help.

i can open the files in VLC, and when i spress the space bar, the preview window plays the file. It also plays the file when i click on it once, then press the play button on the file itself.
that tells me, the needed codecs are already on the system.
m4v is a container format for iTunes and contains mostly two streams. One video H264, one sound mp4
Check handbrake for its sound settings.
Try to rename the movie into kids playing.mp4 and check if Quicktime will open it.
Quicktime is a crap.
By the way...
What OS X ?
What version of Quicktime?
Generally ... if VLC, iTunes, FrontRow is available and plays the movies, why want to play it in Quicktime?

I was trying to free up some memory on my hard drive and now I don't have an Itunes icon. I may have deleted it from my applications. How do I get it back. I downloaded it but it says it was moved from my PDF, music is played on Quicktime player

I was trying to free up some memory from my startup disk and I may have accidently deleted the Itunes application. I still have a library if I go through finder. I can download Itunes but I'm not able to install it. All this and I still don't have enough space on my startup disk, but that's another whole question!
If I play a tune,it comes through quicktime player. What can I do?

No, this should be the number one thing you are concerned about.
Until you get this sorted, there is a good chance you may simply lose everything.
Do you hav ean external drive?
If so copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external drive.
Then you can delete /Music/iTunes/ empty the trash and recover this space.
Do this then Apple menu > Software update.
Restart the computer
Then post back.

How do I update my iTunes because I accedently only updated iTunes and not iCloud thing and quicktime player. How do I do it?

The window of iTunes updater popped up and I accedently only downloaded the iTunes and not iCloud thing and Quicktime player. Any ideas how I can download them now?

Go "Start > All programs > Apple Software Update". When Apple Software Update launches, does it offer you the QuickTime and iCloud updates?

Videos darker in iTunes than Quicktime Player

I've bought a few movies from iTunes and imported a few from other sources.
Whilst watching one purchased from iTunes (There will be blood) I felt the video was very dark. I did a little experimenting and have discovered that videos play considerably darker in iTunes than in Quicktime Player (the AV controls in Quicktime are set to the default so its not because I've adjusted the brightness manually).
I find this really confusing as I would have thought iTunes and Quicktime Player would be using the exact same framework/code to display the video. I can't see any way in the iTunes UI to adjust the video brightness. Am I missing something? Is it perhaps something to do with Colorsync/Monitor profiles. Perhaps one app is compensating with the color profile and the other is ignoring it?

Here's what you need:
Macintosh Hardware
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, G4, or G3 processor
Screen resolution of 1024x768 or greater
Playing videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or 1.0GHz PowerPC G4 or faster processor
*Playing HD-quality videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor*
512MB of RAM; *1GB is required to play HD-quality videos*
Playing videos also requires at least 16MB of video RAM

Will iTunes or QuickTime Player let you burn an mp4 file onto an audio CD?

I want to burn some MP4 videos (i.e., the audio portion only) onto audio CDs; I guess that would mean converting to .aiff files, right?
Can this be done in either iTunes 10.6.1 or QuickTime Player 10.0? I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Mac mini, if that makes any difference.
Or do I have to find some third party software to do the conversion and then burn the CDs?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Depends on how you plan to play them back. AIFF can be played on almost any commercial audio CD player. MP3 files can be played on most current CD players. Apple Lossless or AAC could be used if playback is through your computer. The choice is really yours.

Yes, but the work flow may be different depending on which software and audio compression format you use. E.G., QT 7 Pro could extract the MP4's AAC audio track directly to an new file without conversion if AAC is your target format. As previously mentioned, QT X could be use to recompress the MP4 to an audio only AAC file. The free MPEG Streamclip or QT 7 Pro apps could be used to convert the MP4's AAC directly AIFF files. Converted or extracted AAC files could be added to your iTunes library where iTunes could create and burn a "Playlist" of such files to CD using AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, MP3, or WAV compression formats dependin on your playback requirements. (Unfortunately, iTunes will not directly extract and reprocess/burn the AAC audio directly from MP4 files already in its library.

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
