ITunes won't install due to quicktime

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, however i cannot install itunes on my computer anymore. Everytime i try it tells me that my version of quicktime is too new! i have quicktime version 7.2, trying to install itunes 8.1 and if i uninstall everything, the iTunes install freak out too!
I am totally confused! Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
thanks

badalki,
I take it your not using Apple Update, Correct? If so What you could try doing is uninstall Quicktime and then try and install both from the stand alone installer found: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Hope that helps.

ITunes won't open due to Quicktime error

I recently updated iTunes, and iTunes won't open. It says
"Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
Well, I tried redownloading iTunes and just the latest Quicktime, but I keep getting the message.
I tried clearing my temp files but nothing else will work. Do I have to uninstall iTunes completely, and if so, what do I do about my library?

"Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
let's try swapping out your QuickTime again. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this 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?

ITunes won't install because of Quicktime?

When I tried to install iTunes, it went through the installation, but at the very end, it quit and i got a message saying,
The installation of Quicktime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires Quicktime.
The problem is, though, that I had just installed Quicktime less than an hour ago. Is there any other reason that iTunes will not install? Thanks.

I'm going through the SAME ****. I install Itunes and quicktime seems to go ok until the end of the installation and then all **** breaks loose. Some error comes up saying that I can't install it. THEN It says the installation finished successfully. So I click finish and what happends now is that it specifies that I need to update my quicktime to open itunes... I dont care about Quicktime, i want itunes to work, anyone have a link to an older STANDALONE version of itunes? Where you don't need quicktime?

Itunes won't install due to problem with package.

I went to upgrade my itunes to the 7.3.2 and it froze in the middle of it. I restarted my computer and then my itunes won't show up nor download. I tried to use the apple installer and it gets most of the way through when the following message appears: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330." I have tried installing the program on it's own using tools--> download only and that did not work. I also tried using a different user account and that also did not work. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am using a PC and have windows XP. Thank you.

Hi Royb,
first i excuse myself for my english...its not too bad but sometimes i make mistakes... however
perhaps you can help me with my problem as well. i did the log file as well and i suppose its something to do with the ipod functions in itunes. everywhere in the logfile where the pattern "2330" matches is something like this:
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Note: 1: 2330 2: 23 3: C:\Programme\iPod
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Transforming table Error.
DEBUG: Error 2330: Error getting file attributes: C:\Programme\iPod. GetLastError: 23
Bei der Installation dieses Pakets ist ein unerwarteter Fehler aufgetreten. Es liegt eventuell ein das Paket betreffendes Problem vor. Der Fehlercode ist 2330. Argumente: 23, C:\Programme\iPod,
AppSearch: Eigenschaft: EXISTINGINSTALLDIR, Signatur: Locate_EXISTINGINSTALLDIR
AppSearch: Eigenschaft: EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR, Signatur: Locate_EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR
in case the german language causes problems with the analysis i tried to translate it into proper english:

AppSearch: Attribute: EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR, Signature: Locate_EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR

Itunes fails to install due to quicktime

i've tried downloading the 7.0 version of itunes several times and i keep getting a prompt stating i can't remove the old version of quicktime. i've tried downloading itunes separately and i get a error stating "can't locate the install folder for itunes". i've also tried removing quicktime manually through my control panel and i am denied. can someone please help me because i am completely stumped!!
custom Windows XP

It is available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Once you download and install it, you want to click Start > Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
This will launch a utility similar to Add/Remove Programs. Find QuickTime in the list, click on it, and click remove.
You can then try to install iTunes from here:

Itunes won't open due to quicktime problem

hi
i have recently moved my itunes library from my old computer to a new laptop. the promblem is, when i tried to open itunes, it said there were files missing so i uninstalled it and the reinstalled it. but then it said, check that my quicktime was properly installed.
does anyone know how i can fix this problem?
thanks.

let's start by trying a 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.)

Itunes won't install due to permission error???

iTunes will not let me install because every time this thing pops up and says I do not have permission to the files. Some HKEY file but I am the administrator. When I go to the registry edit it will not let me change who has permission.I also cannot delete them. What do I doooo?!?! Please help

Hello, Welcome to discussions.
To recap what was asked before. If you could post more information about your OS and system. Example below
Windows XP Home or Pro - What service Pack?
Windows Vista 32 bit or 64 bit - What service Pack?
*You can obtain this information by right clicking on My Computer or Computer and selecting properties.
If you are running Windows Vista there are currently two versions available for the OS
-32 bit iTunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
-64 bit iTunes - http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_0_2_for_Windows_64bit
*Also if you have Vista. When you go to install iTunes you can right click on the iTunes Setup File and run as administrator. You may also wish to turn User Access Control off for the moment to attempt to install iTunes. This can be accessed via
-Control Panel - User accounts - Turn User access control on/off and uncheck the box and reboot. Repeat steps but check box and reboot to re-enable the service.

Re: itunes won't install due to problem with package.

I've been having a similar problem--
Here are the exact words: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2908." fyi, the message came up just after the installer began "updating component registration," if that is of any use. I've tried re-downloading it and restarting the computer. I've tried what the customer service reps told me which was to stop the iPod service and the apple mobile device service during installation but i couldn't find "apple mobile device" on the list. so i tried just stopping "iPod service". that didn't work. please, please help I am at my wit's end with this.

ITunes won't install due to package problem - Error 2330

I tried to install iTunes 8 yesterday for the first time and when I launched the Apple Installer and it gets most of the way through when the following message appears: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
I ran the installer again and created a log file of the install process if that could help someone?!?!
Any information would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time dealing with Apple as I received an iPod Touch as a gift the other day and now cannot connect it to get it working!
I am using a PC and have Windows Vista Home Premium.
Thank you.

There is a list of WIndows installer errors here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372835.aspx
2330 is: Error getting file attributes
Often with error, a file name is mentioned - sometimes there is a corrupt file.
It is worth running a disk check to see if a filing system error shows up.
If nothing shows up and you can identify the problem file, sometimes renaming if or containing folder, assuming it is within an iTunes related folder.
Otherwise, if no file was mentioned, maybe you could search through the log file for error messages or 2330 to see if anything shows up that may indicate what the problem is.

ITunes won't install. PLEASE. HELP. URGENT.

iTunes won't install. My PC got reformatted. Now, I can't install iTunes. I've been trying to install it for like 3 months now, then it still won't. I've tried to remove it completely, following the guidelines Apple has given. AND ALMOST EVERYTHING.
Then the other day, I was really really happy that I got it installed, I removed AVG Anti-virus from the PC and turned off ThreatFire. I thought that was the end of my problem, then yesterday, when I opened iTunes it won't work again! So I tried to re-install it, following every guideline. Still, it won't install! In the installing process, around "Registering iTunes automation server", I ALWAYS get the message "Some of its required files are missing. Please re-install."
I REALLY DO NEED YOUR HELP.

Describe what happens when you try to open iTunes - do you see anything? If there is an error message give it in full.
If there is no error message open the task manager (ctrl alt del) and look on the processes tab, do you see iTunes.exe there and does it stay there.
Try opening Quicktime - does that work normally, iTunes cannot work if QUicktime doesn't. If it doesn't work, describe what happens and give any error message.
