ITunes/Quicktime = why, why why?!

When I try to play videos using Quicktime (mov files), my system freezes and I need to restart. Similar thing with iTunes. I cant watch videos on there and I cant even upload photos to my iPod, it causes a system error when syncing.
Can anyone help?

Are the video files stored on a SATA drive, and does your PC have NVidia componentry?
What I'm wondering about in particular is the issue discussed in the "additional information" section of the following document (it's been associated sometimes with photo-sync trouble of the sort you describe, too):
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista video playback performance issues
What make and model of PC do you have? Also, do you have a 32-bit or 64-bit Vista? (Some PC Manufacturers have released updated drivers that have helped with this, so I'd like to have a look at the downloads pages for your model. Downloads pages are often split out depending on whether or not you've got a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vista.)

  • ITunes/Quicktime will not start.

    iTunes/Quicktime will not start. Nor will anything quicktime dependant start. (Like Adobe Go Live) I recently reformated one of my Windows PCs and reinstalled m$ windows xp pro. I begain installing nessacary software and when I was done with iTunes/Quicktime (Why the heck is it now bundled?) it would not start. Could it be a codec conflict problem? I also tried reinstalling iTunes/Quciktime and nothing changed...
    Any comments would be appreciated.

    hi trackmanxs!
    then i got the new quicktime and i am gettin error -1316 and -1603....someone please help
    here's what we'll try first with that one.
    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 another 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.)
    love, b

  • Why must I completely uninstall iTunes, quicktime etc. for every update?

    Every time I try to update iTunes there is a problem installing the iTunes software. I am forced to uninstall iTunes, quicktime, bonjour etc. every time! This is very irritating and takes a longgg time (considering I must also fully install it again). I have already tried deleting my Temp folder...Any ideas?

    Can you detail what "problem" arises? Is it the same problem every time, and if so what exactly is the error message. If you can provide that information, it will help people diagnose the problem and offer suggestions.
    One common problem, for any OS or application update, is antivirus and antispyware software. It's usually a good idea to temporarily disable any such utility prior to attempting any software installation or upgrade.
    Regards.

  • I have just clicked on my iTunes desktop icon and got the following message "The file iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Why has this occurred when it working fine?

    I have just clicked on my iTunes desktop icon and got the following message "The file iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Why has this occurred when it working fine? Is it best to update iTunes to 10.2 to attempt to resolve? Initially I got the prompt Quicktime was out of date so I updated that successfully in all programs. I do not want to lose my iTunes library.

    Sorted problem updated and reinsatlled and restarted computer.

    My iTunes won't connect to the iTunes store why?

    Hey, I had the same problem with the itunes not connecting to the store thing, I recommend checking your firewall and stuff make sure itunes (or safari) is not blocked, if everything is ok with that (apple apps not blocked), Uninstall Itunes, safari, quicktime icloud and whatever apple app you have on your computer. and get an earlier version.... the problem in some cases? Apple Application Support on itunes 10/quicktime 7 and later, a flaw that apple has to work on I recommend downloading a earlier version of itunes

  • I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

    I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

  • HT204370 Purchased movies doesn't show in the purchased section of iTunes?  Why not?  If I want to watch again do I need to repurchase?  Thanks!

    Hi all, I bought a copy of Leon on my iPad 2.  Now that I've watched it I've deleted it, however it doesn't show in the purchased section of iTunes?  Why not?  If I want to watch again do I need to repurchase?  Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Redownloading of movies is only available in the US at this time, even then not all movie studios are allowing their content to be redownloaded.

    No problem, it is still much the same advice but you'll need to use third party tools to extract the data.
    See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for some options.
    If there is a chance that you've got some overlap you might want to use my DeDuper script. See this  thread for background.

  • HT1349 I have purchased a new PC and am being blocked from accessing my itunes account why ???

    I have purchased a new PC and am being blocked from accessing my itunes account why???

    You are being blocked how ?
    If you mean that your library isn't showing then it won't automatically appear on it. You can authorise your iTunes account on it via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option (with iTunes 11 pressing Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear). You will then need to either download your content onto it (what you can re-download will show under Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage), or copy if from your old computer or your backup.

    It is up to the licenseholder/distributor to make their content available to Apple to sell in a particular country - until they do so, Apple can't sell it there. You can try requesting it (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html), but ultimately it's down to the distributor.
