Itunes v5 and greater wont work. why? error and crash

Itunes v5 and the newest update, both create and error during install, during launch and when uninstalling.
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
this is the error signiture:
AppName: itunes.exe      AppVer: 5.0.1.4     
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0      Offset: 10001040
no other info is given, except for the techical report which is saved in a temp file, and doesnt help me out. no error codes.
I have unistalled and cleaned my registry free of all itunes and quicktime files and still nothing works. Which is not good because I have many days of AAC files. previous version of itunes have always worked fine.
Any ideas or am I stuck waiting for the next itunes release with tones of AAC files that cant be played?
thanks for all ideas and post!!!

well done, Jason!
I do wonder though, why did it work with the SA version of QT, when the itunes download comes with QT?
i'm speaking as a "technical journalist" rather than a "software installation engineer". (i have been the former, i've never been the latter.)
as i understand it, the odds of running into an installation error (of any software package) increase when you've got two separate installs "chained together". that's what we've got going on with the itunes-5.0x/QT-7.0.2 installer bundle.
in additon, more things seem to interfere with QT 7.0.2 installs than QT 6.5.2 installs. (QT 6.5.2 came in the itunes 4.9 installer bundle.)
those two factors taken together raise the chances of the QT part of the 5.0.x/7.0.2 install going wrong by comparison with the 4.9/6.5.2 install.
basically, i'm just doing what we did on itunes 4.9 installs when things got sticky in certain ways. i try to run the itunes and QT installs separately. i just have to advise people to do that more frequently than i did with 4.9.
(people with a more in-depth technical understanding of these matters please feel free to leap in and say "b is a
b fool
as well as a scoundrel," and give poor Jason a more in-depth and correct explanation.)
love, b

    I am in the noerthern [parts of australia and accessing an apple store is not possiable for another month. this is my only soucrce or telecommunication. please help

    This is what it says about error 2006
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

  • ITunes and Quicktime wont work

    did the usual upgrades and know iTunes and Quicktime wont work - They wont even launch. Im running 10.3.9 and cant upgrade to 10.4 do to the fact that my Pro tools system is not compatible w/10.4. the upgrade said it would run on 10.3.9 now im dead in te water. I tried to install the early version of both but it wont let me "because it knows I have a newer version on there" QT 7.0.3 and the iTunes upgrade- If uninstalling QT & iTunes & then reinstalling earlier version again will work HOW DO I UNINSTALL THEM ? IF IT WONT WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE.
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP - I HAVE TO GET THIS SYSTEM UP AGAIN BY TOMMOROW.

    I will tell you how to do it but first promise that you will run Disk Repair (single user mode, install disk, or shift key held down at boot) and then repair permissions before trying to reinstall the packages.
    Also, download the combo installer for 10.3.9 and run it again.
    If none of the above works then you can go to Library/receipts/and the version of itunes and Quicktime that you want to install.
    Drag them to the desktop and try reinstalling the updaters for itunes and Quicktime. It should work.

    After you place the iPod in recovery mode using
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    You have to then connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Are you doing that?

  • Keyboard and mouse wont work unless booted in safe mode.

    So my keyboard and mouse wont work at all when i start up normally, so i coudnt even log on, then i tried safe mode and i was able to use the mouse and keyboard and log in, then when i loged in i got some messages:
    *+System extention cannot be used+*
    +The system extention "/system/library/extentions/IOUSBFamily.Kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the products vendor for an update.+
    And 2 others: MicrosoftMouse.kext and msdosfs.kext
    Im pretty sure how i got this problem, i was using bootcamp and i got this program called MacDrive (bad Idea)and it corrupted my HD or something so i had to use disk warrior to fix it. I also used disk utility in safe mode but there were no errors it said.
    and this is probably a hardware problem but i cant use DVD's anymore, my drive will only read CD's now, must be broken....
    so ya, i dunno what to do exept get my drive fixed and to a backup and reinstall OS...

    Hi
    There are no many options which could solve this problem.
    It can be a hardware problem or software related issue.
    Can you use the internal keyboard within the BIOS?
    Check this.
    If this would not be possible, I assume the hardware is faulty.
    Additionally I recommend testing the keyboard and touchpad using the factory settings.
    Recover the notebook and check if the keyboard would functions. Otherwise you will need an helps from an notebook technician in order to replace the keyboard and touchpad

    i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

    Greetings,
    What happens when you drag it?
    Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
    Click on the movie file and go to File >  Get Info and note the "size"
    Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
    Also note the format of the drive you are copying too.  If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • ITunes Match has stopped uploading - every file errors and says waiting - I have tried to delete the files and use other formats etc.  I have had the service since Day 1 and NEVER had an issue.  It didn't start until the Delete from Cloud switch to Hide

    iTunes Match has stopped uploading - every file errors and says waiting - I have tried to delete the files and use other formats etc.  I have had the service since Day 1 and NEVER had an issue.  It didn't start until the Delete from Cloud switch to Hide from cloud - the files that do not upload show grayed out on my other devices.

    Have you confirmed that you successfull purged iTunes Match by also looking on an iOS device?  If so, keep in mind that Apple's servers may be experiencing a heavy load right now.  They just added about 19 countries to the service and I've read a few accounts this morning that suggests all's not running perfectly right now.

    Could you capture your screen and post it. Have the layers panel open and any layers that are collapsed, expanded. We will need to see the entire screen, as some information in the tab is important as well.
