ITunes will not open, requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later.

I've just reset my iMac and reinstalled Leopard but when I try to open iTunes I get this error message; iTunes requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later. I've downloaded version 7.7 but still get the same message. I've read on here to download an earlier version of iTunes and then to update that but I can't find an earlier version from anywhere.
Any help would be very much appreciated..

Hi Dave. Many thanks for your response. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstalled them and now I can open iTunes. I now have another problem. The music that is on my iPhone that was imported from my iTunes prior to resetting my Mac seems to be unavailable for me to play. It doesn't show up on my iPhone when it's not connected. But when I connect it to my Mac all the songs show up under the music tab of my iPhone but they are all light grey and when I click one an exclamation mark appears next to it. I've tried authorizing my account but that doesn't do anything.
If you have any idea what the problem could be I would really gratefull.

  • Itunes will not open and quicktime will not update

    selecting iTunes results in popup message; 'iTunes requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later...', but QuickTime will not open.
    Control right-click did not help.

    Wow, it looks like your software is very very old.
    The current version of QuickTime is 10.3.  The current version of OS X is 10.9.1.  (Your profile indicates you are running OS X 10.5.8, Leopard.  Leopard was released in 2007.)
    The current version of iTunes, 11.1.4, will not run on Leopard.
    Anyway, it sounds as if all your software needs extensive upgrading.  You may be using a computer that is too old to run current software.

  • ITunes will not open because Quicktime!help!

    I clicked on the iTunes icon on my computer and a message pops up saying "Quick time is required to run iTunes.Please reinstall iTunes" and all u can do is press ok! how can i open my itunes???

    Oops! The same thing happened to me recently. I removed Quicktime from my computer using the Add/Remove Program button in the control panel; I didnt realise that you need Quicktime for iTunes to work. To solve the problem you need to reinstall Quicktime - you can dwnload it from the apple website by itself - or download all of iTunes again - it comes with Quicktime. If you do this youwont loose any of your iTunes library, because you will be updating rather than starting again.
    Good luck

  • ITunes will not open because QuickTime will not initialize.

    Please help!! I have tried everything from reinstalling to removing both iTunes and Quicktime and downloading them again. When I try to open iTunes (yes it worked before) it says, "QuickTime failed to initialize (error-2096) Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes." I have done all of the troubleshooting Apple has to offer and nothing has worked. I have even done system restore - Thanks for any help someone can give me!!!

    I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
    "this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" or "My Computer"; i'm not sure which search will pop up your itunes files. Try them both. And then type in the "all or part of the file name" box, itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search, use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've restarted your computer once (according to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Hopefully that will work to at least get rid of that APP error. Good luck and ask me anything you have some questions!!"
    Hope that works!

  • I have a laptop using OSX 10.5.8, iTunes v. 10.6.3 and Quicktime 7.7.  iTunes will not open.  It says it requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later.  I've tried reinstalling each of them.  No success.  Don't know what to try next.

    = New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
    Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications.  One person had re-installed their operating system.  It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize.  Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem.  Do this manually, not with Software Update.
    Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979  - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

    Followed all instructions to unload/reload QuickTime still same problem iTunes will not open due to problem with QT so removed both iTunes and QT and reloades still shows message and will not open iTunes.

    Try uninstalling the QuickTime Player application using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926.
    Also, *Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled*, as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925.
    Then download and install the latest version of iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

    I am running version 10.7.0.21 - since upgrade itunes will not open.  I have visited the support site and done many things to get this working - taken hours of my time I do not have, including setting up a new user and same result.
    My PC is running Windows 7.  I need my itunes as I have 4 ipods and 3 iphones - I need to back up a phone as I have just upgraded,
    One error I seem to have caught is as follows:

    Application     itunes.exe
    Version     10.7.0.21
    timestamp     504d85d9

  • Error R6034 during update. iTunes will not open due to error.

  • Itunes will not open on my computer the icon on desktop  has changed to a white foldertype icon. itunes is listed in programmes on my start menu but will not launch either

    please help
    itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • ITunes will not open with iOS 7 update

    iTunes will not open with iOS 7 update

    My sister is having the same issue on iPhone 4. iTunes only loads the menu buttons at the bottom of the app with no content. I'm going to have her try the reset settings.
    I will add that iTunes on my iMac seems to require a cookie from Safari to keep you logged in. I've never seen the same requirement on the phone but iBond's solution will work if you ever have an issue with iTunes log in on your computer.

    Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

  • Itunes will not open without re-booting pc following recent "upgrade". How can this be fixed?

    Itunes will not open without re-booting pc following recent "upgrade". How can this be fixed?

    I do the download for the new version, it goes smooth, and then when I try to open it up, it pops up in my Task Manager for a moment and then disappears. No error messages, just disappears.
    hmmmm. can you check something for me? (this might give us a heads up on the nature of the itunes problem.)
    try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

  • Itunes will not open up

    Itunes will not open up after I've clicked all icons on desktop, start menu, and on taskbar? Any help is greatly appreciated

    I am having the same problems as the original poster. As of 2 days ago itunes will no longer open.
    I have:
    Run virus scan
    Spyware/malware scan
    Reinstalled itunes (I don't even know how many times)
    Reinstalled my internet securty program
    Turned off the firewall to try to run it
    Go into the firewall and created rules for it (and found out it was alreadya llowed)
    Gone into the start-up programs and run the computer on basics etc.)
    Run the computer in safe mode.
    Tried to open the program by clicking on a music file to open the player.
    Clicked on the .exe file directly in the file location.
    Tried installed an older version of itunes.
    Resintalled quicktime separetly.
    And I don't even know what else... oh and I have run nortons registry cleaner and performed disc optimization.
    This is really driving me crazy...
    Every so often after 20 minutes the program will open and then freeze but this has happened - twice.
    And when you click to open the program it initializes it in processes but never opens the application.
    I have been trying to figure this out and seriously am hating this computer right now.
    Nothing on my computer had changed. Oh I did do a system restore to see if that would work... and no that did not.
    Windows has not updated recently and itunes had updated over 2 weeks ago and had been working since until 2 days ago.
    Oh- and I've created a another user account to try to run itunes and it does the same thing there.
