ITunes upgrade fails due to QuickTime

I tried to upgrade my iTunes to version 9.3.xx. Unfortunately the upgrade failed. The application since then is not opened and the following error message appeared.
“Error writing the file c:\Program Files\Quick Time\QTTask.exe
Verify that you have access to that directory”
I followed all the support suggestions uninstalling all the Apple applications and re-installed them back but with no luck. The above message appears every time iTune is trying to install QuickTime and as iTunes needs QuickTime the whole upgrade fails.
Any suggestion how I can solve this issue?

“Error writing the file c:\Program Files\Quick Time\QTTask.exe ... Verify that you have access to that directory”
That's consistent with disk/file damage, Markos.
Let's first try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's instructions and a guided help in the following Microsoft document:
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, are you able to successfully reinstall QuickTime afterwards?

ITunes upgrade fails

Every attempt to install iTunes upgrades since 0.1.0.79 has failed. It was suggested to download and install manually. This also fails. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

My itunes wont start due to quicktime

itunes wants me to have quicktime 7.5 and i do but it still wont load...what do i do?

You downloaded and installed? I ask because somebody earlier today was complaining about Lion not working but it looked like although they had downloaded it they hadn't actually installed it.
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. Both should be 7.5 or greater.
Did you repair permissions both before and after installing the update? Did you verify your hard drive with Disk Utility before repairing permissions before installing?

ITunes upgrade failed on Vista PC, I now have no Itunes

I had a working installation of Itunes and Quicktime on my Vista PC. The only problem was on each launch I was greeted with a message that a new version was available and presented with an option to upgrade. The upgrade always failed with a message that I should try the stand-alone installer. Also failed to upgrade. I uninstalled ITunes (from add/remove SW) hoping a new install would be the answer. Unistall worked fine. Itunes is gone.
New install does not succeed. It ends on a message:
“Error getting file security: C:\ProgramData\Apple\Computer\Installer Cache\Quicktime 7.55.90.70\ GetLastError:5”
Followed by “Rolling Back Actions” and “The Installation of Quicktime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires QuickTime.”
I have a working installation of QuickTime version 7.5.5. It opens without error from the default install location. However, attempts to ‘Update Existing Software’ fail with the same “Error getting file security…” message and “Rolling back…” message. Same response on attempting to uninstall QuickTime from Add/Remove Software.
Where I previously had a working version of iTunes with only an annoying popup message, I now have no iTunes at all. I do have a working down rev QuickTime (that I cannot remove) but that is of no use to me without iTunes.
I need help to remove QuickTime so I can proceed from ground zero. I assume this is likely a Windows registry issue. I am competent to maker registry edits but not by trial and error. I need more knowledgeable advice on how to proceed.
Thanks

Just a thought, but maybe consider returning the device. Seems it might be a bit too complicated for you.

Itunes 7 fails to install - QuickTime problem.

I successfully used an earlier Itunes with an Ipod 1GB Nano. My new 2GB Nano (courtesy of Netgear promotion!) demanded V7 which I downloaded and tried to install. There were many errors installing Quicktime, but one was
"Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINES\software\classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuicktimePlayerApp\CLSID"
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
I accessed myself (8-)# I tried running regedit, but that key and all the other "QuickTime" "software/classes/" keys gave the same error. I tried right clicking to set permissions, but although the list comes up, I cannot enable any of them.
I even tried safe mode, but all those entries are give similar errors. I have now deleted all references to "QuickTime" in the registry except the inaccessible ones, and the "Program Files" directory, but installation gives the same errors.
The result is that Itunes will not install, and I am unable to use my new Ipod.
A Google search finds no-one with similar problems.
Any ideas?

I am answering this blind as I did not realise I would not have access to the previous posting! Thanks for responding.
There is no version number of the installer under properties, but it says "V7" when run, and was downloaded earlier today (38,808,256 bytes) from the Apple site (as linked to by my then presumably working Itunes).
I see exactly my problem is in http://forums.vnunet.com/thread.jspa?threadID=93546&tstart=0
and unresolved.
I rolled back Windows to yesterday (and then the day before), and now find I cannot even uninstall either Quicktime or Itunes. The "Add or Remove programs" utility starts its progress bar and then quits with no report. I tried a re-install of the only previous installation of Itunes and it reported "You have a later version of Itunes installed" (meaning presumably V7) The Itunes I have on disk will not run "Files missing". This I suppose must be due to the failed installation of V7, which System Restore has failed to undo.
I tried then the V7 install again, and got:
"QuickTime failed to install Error #-2903"
and later
"Error 1905 c:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTOControl.dll
Hresult -2147220472"
... and then followed by three or four registry errors in HKEYLOCALMACHINES\SOFTWARE\Classes\ including the one I started this thread with. All these registry items are inaccesible under regedit ("Error opening key").
I am now in a position that I cannot go back or forward and still cannot link my IPOD to Itunes.
Is Itunes the only program that can transfer music?
It seems that one cannot simply copy, as firstly there is no "music" folder, and when it is done in a kosher way, the filenames are changed to an internal format, with the real names in a database.
It looks like Apple are managing to stop loads of other people using their new IPODs. I would ask for my money back if it wasn't a gift from Netgear (8-)#

Itunes install fails b/c quicktime failed to install

When installing the new version of itunes i get the error message "installation of quicktime did not complete successfully itunes requires quicktime" but when i go to get the new version of quicktime on its own it works to update have had this problem since my hard drive was starting to fail so i put a new hard drive in and it still does not work.

iTunes installer is tellign me that it can't reference HKEYLOCALMACHINE32/software/Classes/.m4p
Okay, due to registry mirroring, that registry key is stored in the WOW6432 node in your registry. So when you look for it in regedit (if you're using the 64-bit regedit, which you get by default if running regedit on a 64-bit system, you'll find that key at:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\Classes\.m4p
Check the permissions on the key. Do your user account, the Administrators group and the SYSTEM account have full control on it?

Good luck.

ITunes install fails due to Error Code

I'm trying to install iTunes and I get the message Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I then have 3 options - Abort - Retry - Ignore which provide no success. If I ignore it the installation process completes however it states that the installation failed 'Error Code 7 (Windows error 126)' re-install iTunes. I've tried running the download as administrator with no success.

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

ITunes not working due to QuickTime error

Can’t use iTunes because I get message that says somethings wrong with QuickTime. Using WinXP computer. Tried to install newest QT didn’t work, Removed QT and tried to reinstall – didn’t work.
Here’s the message:
The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTSystem\QuickTime.Resources\en.\proj. the installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator.
I AM logged on as administrator;.
Apples says to
1. Empty your Temp directory and restart – Tried that - won’t allow me to empty temp. Says there’s something being used by something else. Everything is closed. And the thing is a bunch of #s and letters that make no sense (cannot delete IaHide4.dll (among others). HOWEVER, I did delete anything that said QuickTime at top of the temp folder (ie recent install items).
Tried ChckDisk "Error Checking" per a recommendation online – but that won’t finish.
Tried to install QT by itself without iTunes and that won’t work either.
Tried to install iTunes and Quicktime - same error message.
Have searched the web for nearly two hours and can’t find an answer.
Any thoughts on how to get QT back an my itunes working?
Can’t access music, update my iPhone etc.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Great way to start a new year!

Tried ChckDisk "Error Checking" per a recommendation online – but that won’t finish.
If the chkdsk isn't getting the damage, we can try convincing the QuickTime installer to ignore the damaged areas.
In My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Program Files" folder.
Open the "QuickTime" folder.
Rename the "QuickTime.Resources" folder QuickTime.ResourcesOLD.
Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

In an atempt to solve the problem I deleted the current quicktime I found in finder. I'm at a dead end and have no clue what to do. any help is appreciated.

T440s windows 10 upgrade failed due to lack of Lenovo driver for ac-7260

Anyone know when or where Lenovo will release / has released a windows 10 compatible driver for the Intel Wireless ac-7260 wifi adapter (mine is in my T440S)? Currently it's not possible to upgrade because the wifi adapter fails to operate correctly and I can find no update from Lenovo for my notebook and the ac-7260 adapter on the site that supports windows 10. I also tried the Intel "generic" drivers but that failed to resolve the problem. I tried many things and just could not get it to work for many different reasons that all boiled down to the adapter driver failing to work and giving errors or simply not working at all. Now that Windows 10 is released surely Lenovo has an adapter driver somewhere for it?

RESOLVED: Turns out I had an "Array networks" SSL VPN client installed as part of my Softlayer ISP's remote desktop package, not Cisco at all but caused the same exact problem. I had to uninstall it completely and have since found out it doesn't work at all with Windows 10 and there is no timeframe to have it updated and Array networks or maybe just Softlayer apparently haven't gone out of their way to inform the public. Thank you guys for your help and I hope others in future will benefit from this post.

CSCul50066 - Upgrade fails due to lack of disk space in the /common partition

I noticed this has only 1 and 2 star ratings after bumping into this issue myself, so I figured I would help out the original poster and others who are experiencing this issue.
Presumably, the original poster is intending to advise that we read the CUCM 10.0(1) Upgrade Guide, and view the Pre-Upgrade Tasks therein. These (the bullet points below) seem to be the salient options contained in that section. I used the "Free Common Space COP file" option to resolve my disk space issue and allow my upgrade. I found the .cop file in the following download area on CCO:
Downloads Home
Products
Unified Communications
Call Control
Unified Communications Manager (CallManager)
Unified Communications Manager Version 10.0
Unified Communications Manager / CallManager / Cisco Unity Connection Utilities-COP-Files
It is called: "VMware Disk Size Reallocation COP file: This COP file allows UCM VMs to increase the size of their vDisk(s) without requiring a system rebuild.
ciscocm.free_common_space_v1.1.cop.sgn "
• Use the Cisco Log Partition Monitoring Tool to adjust the low and high watermarks to reduce the traces
and remove unnecessary log files. Cisco recommends that you adjust the low watermark value to 30,
and the high watermark value to 40. After the upgrade, you must restore the high and low watermarks
to their original values in order to avoid premature purging of traces. The default value for the high
watermark is 85. The default value for the low watermark is 80. For more information about using the
Cisco Log Partition Monitoring Tool, see the Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool Administration
Guide.
• Use the Disk Expansion COP file (ciscocm.vmware-disk-size-reallocation-<latest_version>.cop.sgn) to
expand the vDisk size if your virtual environment has additional available disk space. Ensure that you
review the Readme file that supports this COP file before you proceed.
• Use the Free Common Space COP file (ciscocm.free_common_space_v<latest_version>.cop.sgn). This
COP file removes the inactive side in the common partition to increase available disk space without
requiring a system rebuild. Ensure that you review the Readme file that supports this COP file before
you proceed.
• Manually remove outdated or unused firmware files from the TFTP directory. You can remove these
files using the TFTP File Management page in the OS Administration interface, or you can use the file
list tftp and file delete tftp commands from the command line interface.

Merge two iTunes libraries fails due to ADD TO LIBRARY...

I want to merge my laptop iTunes library back into my desktop itunes library (both machines are Macs running OS X 10.7.5 with iTunes 11.0.1).
However on the desktop, the iTunes "Add to Library..." command does nothing when I select the XML file on the laptop to which I exported my laptop library!
(The laptop drive is shared, and I access it over the network.)
Anyone know how to resolve this?

OK, finally had a chance to try this: just used a playlist (all I really need are the new songs, and I made a smart playlist based on date added to get these songs [copied those to a manual playlist that I then exported]).
Procedure:
exported playlist on laptop to XML file on laptop
copied songs in playlist within iTunes (view playlist, select all, right click and select copy)
then in Finder pasted the copied playlist songs to a new folder on laptop
on desktop did a Add to Library to add songs over network from playlist folder on laptop (from prior step)
on desktop did a Library->Import Playlist and imported playlist XML file from step 1 (over network)
(One observation: some of the songs were purchased from iTunes: at first I didn't realize why all the songs didn't get imported into desktop library in step 4; then I realized they were already there on the desktop because they were purchased and the desktop and laptop have the same iTunes account ... so a purchase on laptop automagically appears in the desktop library!)
RESULT:
Sure, the playlist got created OK, but key metadata seems to have NOT been copied over, e.g. all my star ratings except for two songs were not copied over.
Example: one song had a 4 star rating and sure enough an XML entry "<key>Rating</key><integer>80</integer>"
...but it came out in the desktop library with NO start rating.
Time for some manual updates ... and a better procedure!
