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 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 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 7 for Windows: iTunes has detected an audio configuration problem

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.

Iphoto won't open due to a problem.

Iphoto won't open because of a problem. The box says 'check with the developer to make sure iphoto works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.'
I have checked for updates. I haven't done anything different or installed anything different since the last time I successfully used iphoto. Help.....

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

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 Open Because of Quicktime

I have a computer with Windows 7 Pro and I can't get iTunes to work correctly on it. I was getting an error message that was saying that iTunes couldn't open because Quicktime wasn't installed. However, quicktime is installed and working properly. I've uninstalled everything related to apple and reinstalled it, and after doing that, iTunes worked, but today I started getting the same error message. I'm not sure what the issue is because there doesn't seem to be an issue with Quicktime.

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?

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

You're welcome! Glad you got things sorted out.

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 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 get an immediate problem window please help

I just recently did a complete system restore and have since got everything back together. I just tried last night to re-install intunes first with the start up disc and then through the itunes site. After both times downloading the program with no problems I went to start itunes and get an immediate problem screen. The problem only states "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry the inconvenience" with no explantion or way to correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lawrence

I have been having the same problem lately. I have not found a solution yet. I've tried repairing the disk, reparing permissions, using a different user, reinstalling itunes, trashing the .plist, but nothing has worked. After iTunes is launched it immediately becomes unresponsive and will not Force Quit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

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?

Hi,
Try downloading latest version from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1614

Itunes won't open, neither will quicktime

so I know that this topic has been going around quite a bit inthe forums...but I can't seem to find how to fix mine. So I downloaded the new itunes and it's not working. it puts up an error message apologizing for the inconveniene but saying it has to close. it shows up in the task bar but then disappears. quicktime isn't working either, and i tried downloading the freestanding one but that doesn't work. i don't have norton antivirus and i don't have a firewall. help?

ok i got it to work.
First i followed this post's instructions,
okay. without the complication of a Codec Pack in play, and in light of the "fatal error on the QT uninstall, we'll try another complete scrape of iTunes and QuickTime, followed this time by a careful "phased" reinstall of both applications.
for the technique see the following post. (you've got the preliminaries mostly sorted out already, and the link there through to an itunes 7.1.0.59 installer will go through to a 7.1.1.5 installer.)
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=4207358
After performing this procedure, I then used windows search to find all files named quicktime. I deleted all and rebooted. I then did the same for all files named itunes. I deleted all and rebooted. I then reinstalled each of the apps and it worked. basically i had to remove anything with thoses names in every directory.

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 open, different from other problems

Yeah. I don't have Norton (I do have the windwows firewall and stuff, but I already have it on the allowed list) and I've tried deleting the file. I double click on iTunes (I've even tried from the actual .exe file in the program files) and I get the hourglass, and nothing more. The processes for iPodService and iTunesHelper are running, but no iTunes. I tried using the New Tastk (run...) feature on the Task Manager, and the iTunes.exe process comes up for a few brief seconds and then goes away again. Any ideas? I've also re-installed it...
And on a side note, since I re-installed it, will I have to redo all of my playlists? If so, man there's a headache to go on top of finals... :-/

Whoops, wrong link.
