ITunes requires version of Quicktime I can't install

I installed the new update of iTunes, but now it won't open because I need the latest version of Quicktime. I have Tiger, so the Quicktime update will only work for Leopard or higher. Why would my iTunes be updated if the Quicktime version necessary to run it is not allowed on my Tiger system? But my real question is: how can I reverse iTunes to the older version? My computer was built a mere three years ago and it's virtually useless because the OS upgrades happen faster than my wallet can handle. I really resent Apple and its absolute lack of support for anything older than a few months. All ranting aside, any help would be appreciated.

Quit ranting. I am running QT 7.6.4 and iTunes 9.1.1 on my Tiger iMac. It will be ten years old this summer. I have all of you beat I use it to sync a brand new iPod Touch. It works fine, even though it was built prior to even the beta version of OS X.

Virtually useless? Really? Perhaps you're exaggerating a wee bit ?
I've spent almost nothing keeping mine up to date. Until someone can provide a tangible reason to update to Snow Leopard, I have no plans to replace this ten year old computer.
Here are Apple's download sites for QuickTime and iTunes, respectively.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
They'll install and run fine on your three year old dinosaur of an iMac (geez!).
I'm reasonably sure Software Update alerted me to the QuickTime update. It was at least several months ago. Perhaps sometime subsequent to that I became unceremoniously dumped by Apple Support. After only ten years. Imagine!
Virtually useless? Wow. Kids today, I swear...

I need to update my Mac version 10.4.11 can I instal the version OS X Lion Update 10.7.2 as an update

If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, you can upgrade to OS 10.5 Leopard, which is the max OS.
If your iMac has an Intel processor, you can upgrade to OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, and possibly OS 10.7 Lion.
You have to buy OS upgrades. Updates to later versions are free from Apple's site.

MacBookPro1,1 can only run Mac OS X 10.6.8, as it has got a 32-bit processor.
If you order replacement DVDs, Apple will send you DVDs with the original Mac OS X version that came with your Mac, in this case, Mac OS X 10.4.5.
If you decide to get replacement DVDs, Apple will only charge you for the delivery

Itunes wont open, needs newer version of quicktime, but newest is installed

I installed IMesh a while back and as soon as I did my Itunes refused to open. Everytime I try to open it, it says "Quicktime version 7.1 is installed, Itunes requires Quicktime 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall Itunes". So then I tried numerous times to reinstall Itunes, uninstall it and then reinstall it, used the installer cleanup thing, and even tried to install Quicktime and Itunes separately - I feel like it's still malfunctioning because of Imesh, even though I deleted iMesh entirely. Please help! I'm absolutely desperate.

okay. let's try swapping out your QuickTime one more time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

I have a macbook pro with IOS 10.6.8 and my itunes is version 11.0.1, can I airplay to an apple TV?

please help, I have a macbook pro with a IOS 10.6.8 operating system, I just opperated my ituned to version 11.0.1. Can I airplay my macbook to an apple tv?

On Snow Leopard, you can't use AirPlay Mirroring, but if you upgrade to Mountain Lion, you will be able to use AirPlay MIrroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If you want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, first make a backup of your files. Then, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion, and follow the steps to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Check if your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
If you don't want to upgrade Mac OS X, you can also install AirParrot > http://www.roaringapps.com
If you are referring to AirPlay on iTunes, you can do it. The AirPlay icon will appear on the iTunes toolbar when your computer detects the Apple TV

Just tried to update itunes and it failed - and I can't install the latest version either - it fails too. Nice one Apple.

Opened up itunes this morning and it said there was an update. So I hit the Install new version button. Gets just about all the way through and says there was an error.
I tried opening itunes from the shortcut on my desktop and says that it's pointing to nothing.
Downloaded the latest version of itunes and it installs all the way untill it gives me the finger .. I mean ... this screen shot:
Nice one Apple. "All your music. All in one place" .. but you can't access it. HAHAHAHA
Any one else finding this problem and a way around it?
Cheers,
Jeremy

I am trying to fill out a documant and it says that for my version of the Mac OS, 10.6.8 snow leopard and need a 3.6 version of firefox

What is the lastest version of iphoto that can be installed on MacBook3,1 Intel Core 2 Duo

I have Iphoto '08 version 7.1.5 installed.
I am trying to make an ibook (to be printed)
I've done it before and since changing my harddrive, I cannot access any projects.
the error message is that there are no themes installed.
I cannot seem to find where themes are to download and install them.
I have upgraded, and installed the 7.1.5 update.
my computer info:
MacBook
Model Identifier:    MacBook3,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2.2 GHz
OSX    10.6.8
any help as to how I can print another book from iphoto would be helpful.
I understand I may have to use another on demand printing service such as blurb, but I really don't want to.
thanks.

Do you want to have the book printed by Apple? That is no longer possible using iPhoto '08. YOu need at least iPhoto '09, see: Product Line Details for Books, Cards, and Calendars
I cannot access any projects.
the error message is that there are no themes installed.
See Old Toad's answer here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6394288&#6394288
Themes are best restored by reinstalling iPhoto.
Or, if you have a backup of your system, look in your backup for the folder
Your HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto
and restore the themes to the corresponding folder.

I keep getting "Flash outdated" messages. Firefox Plugin Check says it's up to date with version 11.2.202.418 but current version is *.425. Can't install.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.
Ever since the last few days (say, a week) i've been getting messages saying that Flash is outdated, and firefox blocks the plugin, so I have to unblock ("allow") every time I get to a new page. It's no big deal, but it's annoying and, for example, I can't watch movies on my fave movie page...
In firefox's Plugin Check page I get an "Up to date" message, but it shows version 11.2.202.418, wich is also the version on Ubuntu's Software Center , and current versione is 11.2.202.425. I've tried this instrucitons https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keep-flash-up-to-date-and-troubleshoot-problems#w_updating-flash to install manually, but can't get to the place where firefox is installed.
I already moved from chrome to firefox because of chrome's repeated malfuntioning, I have nowhere else to go! (pity me).
Thank you all! And sorry for possible spelling/syntactical mistakes, english is not my first language.

I would think Unbuntu would have a update by now as 11.2.202.425 has been out from Adobe since December 9 as 11.2.202.42'''4''' and older is vulnerable.
Look for the '''.mozilla''' folder in home/ and create a folder named '''plugins''' then you can place the libflashplayer.so file there.
Now any install of Firefox and SeaMonkey will be able to use it.

I just loaded osx snow leopard 10.6.3 but my computer states I'm at 10.5.8 version. Now I can't install iLife because it's not 10.6.3. Don't get it?

I just loaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. My computer now states it's 10.5.8 not 10.6.3. So, now I cannot download my iLife. What am I doing wrong?

Some questions for clearification:
Does "I just loaded..." mean you attempted to update your 10.5.8 to 10.6.3? Did you have 10.5.8 to start with? Did you use the proper updaters? Did you update another drive and accidentally booted from your 10.5.8 drive?

What version of tux12 servers can be installed on Windows7 or 8?

I've installed tuxedo12.1 64bit on Windows7 machine.
I cannot startup up our servers with tuxedo.
Is tuxedo12 compatible with Windows 7?
My application is compiled with Tuxedo12c 32bit for clients.

Hi,
Microsoft does not consider Windows 7 or Windows 8 to be server platforms. As a result Oracle does not support Tuxedo server components on either platform. You should be able to install the Tuxedo Windows Client Only kit on either.

New Version of Quicktime installed. Can't install iTunes 9.01

ITunes faiuls to launch - version of QuickTime

After uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling a freshly downloaded iTunes, iTunes fails to launch with error message:
"QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires version 7.0.3 or later. Please re-install iTunes."
Help!

The answer is to uninstall QuickTime using the Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs utility. Then reboot. Then download the stand-alone Quicktime install from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html.
Then run that install.

Can't install Quicktime or Itunes

I'm having a complete difficult time with this.
I've tried to install "iTunes + Quicktime" about 20 times now.
It says Quicktime installation messed up and iTunes can't work without Quicktime and quit.
So I get the stand alone version of Quicktime and try to install that.
I get "The installer encountered errors before the requested operations for QuiicktTime could be completed" Then it tells me to retry.
I've done everything I've read. I've tried Windows Install Clean Up, but iTunes nor Quicktime is in there, the only thing that is "Apple Application Support"
I've deleted all the apple and quicktime registry entries I found, I've deleted anything reffering to either apple or quicktime.
I've reinstalled vbscript.
I'm out of ideas.
I've spent hours googling this now and nothings worked.
The Operating System I'm installing it on is Windows XP.
Someone please help.

Excellent news!
Strange how sometimes the fixit works better than the manual methods, and sometimes the manual methods work better than the fixit. It differs from Microsoft fixit to Microsoft fixit too. (Unfortunately, because these "anomalous 2738s" are pretty rare as install errors go, I don't have a good feel yet for whether or not it's the fixit or the manual method that's more likely to work in iTunes/QuickTime installation contexts.)
Afraid I'm not very good on earbud troubleshooting, but fingers crossed the folks over at the iPod communities might be able to help:
