ITunes won't open due to conflict with QuickTime

I get the following error message when I try to open iTunes: QuickTime 7.0d0 is installed. iTunes requires 7.03 or later. Please reinstall iTunes.
I've reinstalled iTunes, that didn't solve the problem. I uninstalled both QT and iTunes, then downloaded the latest version of iTunes and reinstalled again. That still didn't solve the problem. I've gone to Microsoft's website and confirmed I have the latest Windows Update installed, and I've also disabled all firewalls and protection on the computer. Any suggestions??

Try installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
That 7.0d0 version is bogus.
Just do the QT standlone install on top of everything. When finished, iTunes should open.

ITunes won't open due to problem with audio configuration

Out of the clear blue iTunes will not open any longer. I get a gray message screen that says iTunes can't open due to
an audio configuration problem. Any answers for this???

iTunes can't open due to an audio configuration problem.
That one is most commonly caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
The following document may be of some assistance:

Itunes won't open due to audio configuration?

I just got a new Ipod and upgraded from a 30 gig to an 80 gig. The new one would only work on itunes 7.4 or better- so I downloaded it. Now Itunes won't open at all! It says: Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration. HELP! What do I do to fix the problem???
Thanks.

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?

Ask your question.stalled 10.5 and update on my G4 PB and now Itunes won't open due to library created by nwer version, How do I get the old version back ? thankfully I don't have anything in it, having deleted everything for room for the new install.

I just installed 10.5 and .8 update, from 10.4xx, Original 10.5 Archived and installed, Now itunes won't, can't open due to "library created by a newer version error message,
How do I fix this ? uninstall ??? reinstall ?
I originally didn't have enough free space to intall the new OS so deleted everything/songs and some podcasts in itunes, backed up on another ipod.that hasn'r been updated so not missing anything, but now can't access\ another new(old) ipod and iphone (and not anytthing now) that wouldn't work on the old OS. due to not having the required itunes upgrade and not upgradeable on 10.4xx
Thanks in advance.

After reinstalling itunes like PowerBloodRespect said, go into itunes on your account and connect your ipod. On the ipod summary tab, uncheck the box to launch itunes when the ipod is connected.
You also might want to go into itunes preferences on both accounts.
On the Device tab, put a checkmark in the box to prevent ipods from syncing automatically.

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:
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
During the installation an error occured. Maybe there is a packet problem. The error code is 2330. Arguments: 23, C:\Programme\iPod,
AppSearch: Attribute: EXISTINGINSTALLDIR, Signature: Locate_EXISTINGINSTALLDIR
AppSearch: Attribute: EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR, Signature: Locate_EXISTINGIPODINSTALLDIR
I hope this helps...
It would be very nice if you help me, otherwise i see no other way than formationg windows...and i hate that...thats why mac is better -.-
however plase help me and if it helps i can send u the hole logfile. =)
thank alot!

TS1424 iTunes won't open due to a DEP error-Vista

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 open due to software upgrade requirement, but no upgrades are available

When I go to open iTunes, a window pops up reading:
"The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
The only options are "Quit" and "Download iTunes," and when I click on "Download iTunes," Software Update pops up, and after checking for new software, it says there is no update available, and I can't open iTunes.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

ITunes won't open on my Touch with 2.0!

Whenever I try to open iTunes it just defaults back to the app store. Its really annoying, especially since I do most of my music purchases on the fly. Has anyone encountered this or know how to fix it?

You can restore your iPod to 1.1.4.
Connect your iPod to the computer. Open iTunes. Click your iPod on the devices list. When you see the restore button, hold shift + ALT and then click restore. Find where your iTunes keeps your update files. I'll post back later after I get the directories.

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 open - problem with visualizer?

For some reason Itunes won't open for me - I have had it for ages, never a problem, but I got Leopard last week and now Itunes has crashed. When i try to open it it freezes and then closes, with an error message that says 'the problem may have been caused by the ItunesX Visualizer plug in'.
Any advice on how to fix this? I have uninstalled and reinstalled both itunes and Quicktime, but nothing seems to work.

Same problem here! I'm going crazy. I did those two things you did and NOTHING, nada, help us!

ITunes won't open after upgrade. Help!!!!

I upgraded to 7.0.2 and now my iTunes won't open at all. No error message. Nothing. When I click on it, it seems like something is happening with hourglass thing going but nothing happens. No error message.....no nothing.
I looked under Processes in my Task Managaer and I see iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe but I don't know whats going on.
Pleeeeeeeease heeeeeeeeeelp.
I love my iPod too much for it to be out of commission.

It's 2006
okay. it's way rarer to get this sort of thing due to NIS 2006 than it is with 2005, but it has been known to happen.
try the technique from the following bbecker post. (heads-up ... it's taking a long time for that post in that thread to load for properly for some folks. so leave it to think for a few minutes until it's loaded fully, otherwise you might not see the correct post.)

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

ITunes won't open and a Windows error message pops up

I downloaded iTunes 10.2.2.12 awhile ago. It worked fine the first time. Ever since then, whenever I plug in my ipod, my laptop recognizes and says it's syncing but iTunes won't open. I double click on iTunes and I get an error message from Windows saying that an error has occurred and it needs to close iTunes but it never even opens up. (The message doesn't give any error codes.) I've tried completely uninstalling iTunes and all its components and then reinstalling it but I get the same error message. I have Windows XP 2002 Home Edition SP 3. Please help. Thanks.

Many thanks.
Yes, it is an "iTunes has encountered a problem" error. The ModName: dnssd. dll The ModVer: 2.0.5.0 Offset: 0000246c
With that one, by way of experiment, let's try disabling your Bonjour Service.
In your Start menu, right-click My Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch properly this time?
