Itunes won't launch says I need windows 2000 or higher: I have XP

When I upgraded to Itunes 7 it installed, but when I try to launch I get a message saying I need Windows 2000 or higher to run quicktime. I have Windows XP.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Itunes and Quicktime twice now, and I still get the same message.
Since I have a newer operating system than 2000 I am at a loss.

is that message mentioning "compatibility settings"? if so, try the following document:

  • After update, Itunes won't start, saying I need QT 7.3 but only have 7.2

    I just did their update download to Itunes 6 after they informed me it was available. But the QuickTime version for windows is 7.0.2. But my windows computer won't start Itunes saying I need 7.0.3. I've had itunes for close to two years and have never had a problem. Until now. Now I can't open Itunes, can't get support help, and it doesn't seem like I can even go back to Itunes 5 which worked great. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    well you HAVE TO HAVE quicktime in order for iTunes to work sorry

    check and make sure you firewall and antivirus is turned off during installation because it will block it from downlaoding.

  • With Windows XP I have Firefox 4 and am trying to download Firefox 6 but it rejects saying I need Windows 2000 or newer

    Tried several times to download Firefox 6 as upgrade to Firefox 4 and near end of download I get error message that I need Windows 2000 or newer. I have windows XP 2002. Cannot find error in my system.

    This is typically caused when an add-on changes the user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox). To rectify this you can reset your user agent string.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''general.useragent.override''', right-click (or control-click) on it and select '''Reset''', this will set the user agent string back to the default in Firefox 4
    There are other user agent string settings that may have been modified, but these are no longer used in Firefox 4. You can reset them if you want, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser

  • Every app I try to download says I need iOS 6 or higher I have the first generation iPad what can I do?

    I have a first generation iPad every app I try to download says I need iOS 6.0 or higher to use it is there anything I can do?

    Some apps will let you run on a lower version of iOS.  Here's how to find out if the ones you want will run on your iPad.
    1.  Open iTunes on your computer and go to the App Store
    2.  Download the apps you want to your iTunes account in iTunes
    3.  On your iPad, tap the App Store
    4.  Tap the purchased tab
    5.  The apps you downloaded to your iTunes account on your computer will be listed with a cloud icon next to them.
    6.  Tap the cloud and if the app will run on a lower version of iOS, it will give you the option to download a version that will run on your iPad.  If the app doesn't give you the option, there's nothing you can do.

  • New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

    New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

    No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
    A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6.8 here:

  • HT4759 I have Windows Vista and I downloaded iTunes on my iPhone but it says you need Windows 7 or 8 to download on your computer so both iPhone and computer synced. Now that I downloaded my iTunes on my iPhone I can't even find them. Why???

    I downloaded iCloud on my iPhone and wanted to download it on my computer but it says I need Windows 7 or 8! Why I can't find my iTunes on my iPhone?

    Try installing iCloud version 2.1.3 for Vista. Here's a link to the Downloads page:

  • TS1717 I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC.

    I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC. Anyone know how I do this? I cannot seem to find anything on Google, which is surprising.
    iTunes helper launches OK, but not iTunes itself. Am I being dim?
    Thanks

    The iTunes application should be installed on the system drive. You may need to repair iTunes to fix that error regarding a missing .exe.
    To organize your library properly see Make a split library portable.
    If you don't have a working version of the library that can be transformed into a portable shape I have tools and techniques that can repair the broken links.

  • Itunes won't launch - requires Quicktime 7.5.5 but software update says software is current

    itunes won't launch - requires Quicktime 7.5.5 but software update says software is current

    Are you using Leopard?
    If so, let's try installing a QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple website:

    If you install that does that clear up the iTunes trouble?

  • ITunes won't launch in Windows 8

    Recently bought a new laptop which came with Windows 8. I cannot get iTunes 11 to launch in Windows 8. Whenever I launch it, I simply get a completely white screen and Windows Task Manager reports it as "Not Responding." I have attempted to "Repair" the installation, uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes multiple times (I've also tried running Apple Software Update as well).
    On a somewhat related note, Quicktime won't launch either. I can double-click the icon on the desktop as much as I want, but the program simply won't launch, at all. Windows Task Manager doesn't even display it as an active process.

    If you are still having this problem, Sony Singh posted this fix in another conversation, and it worked!  I have the same Windows 8.1 and iTunes version you have and had the same problem.  This totally fixed it.
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    Simple, huh?  Just reboot after youo copy and paste the above file.

  • ITunes won't launch if iPod is connected but ejected

    If I connect my iPod (set to Disk Use, no auto-launch of iTunes), then eject it through the Finder, iTunes won't launch. It hangs with no window until force quit or the iPod is unplugged. I've noticed this through several versions of iTunes.
    Note that I found this topic already in existence here, but I felt that the issue needed a bump to the top of the list.

    Does your quicktime work perfectly? I got that message when I tried to open iTunes 5 a couple times, and my quicktime wasn't being sensed by the computer at all. It was just there.

  • Itunes will not launch, no error message (windows xp, itunes 10.7.0.21)

    Itunes will not launch, no error message (windows xp, itunes 10.7.0.21)
    Yeah

    OK, so i cannot enter into iTunes safe mode, whilst monitoring proccesses in the task manager I noticed that itunes will only stay open if i keep my fingers on shift and control-i dont know if that is worth mentioning- the proccess promptly ends after the release of the said keys, (I tried both the shift control keys on either side of the keyboard-same result) so i am stuck there.
    P.S.
    This version of iTunes had previously worked before, I uninstalled everything apple related after noticing how many processes (-id est-) /applications, were using up my memory.
    afterwards I had need for iTunes, (i needed to wipe my iDevice) I reinstalled and this problem has arisen.
