ITunes won't open, now Quicktime is giving me a hard time!

Hi,
i've been having some problems with my iTunes lately; when I try to open it, it immediately shuts down and then I'm asked wether or not I want to send a bugreport.
After getting no reply to the report, I started looking around on this discussion forum to solve my problem (no music = no fun!). I tried reinstalling Quicktime as this seemed to be a good solution.
After deleting all of my Quicktime files, now I can't even reinstall it and when I try to do so, Safari just stops and I get a crash-report!
Any help?
Thx,
Yann

hi yann s!
After deleting all of my Quicktime files, now I can't even reinstall it and when I try to do so, Safari just stops and I get a crash-report!
just checking: are you installing on a Mac or a PC? all the following instructions are PC-specific (you're over in one of the windows parts of Discussions).
hmmm. sounds like you're running the install "on-line" which raises the probability of running into odd problems.
let's try the standalone QT 7.0.3 install again, but we'll take a few additional precautions. for those precautions see:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1211023#1211023
if you get an error message on the careful reinstall, let us know what it says. (include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
love, b

Itunes won't open...error 2206..tried many time to uninstall and to install...any help?

Itunes won't open...error 2206
I have tried to uninstall and to reinstall...still won't open.
Any suggestions so i can use my itunes library again?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

ITunes won't open after QuickTime update (Windows XP)

Hi all,
Yesterday I was prompted by Apple Software Update to install the newest version of QuickTime, and I always comply. However, after the update now iTunes will not open at all! No error message, just the hourglass cursor for a few seconds to indicate that it's loading, then a regular cursor... and then nothing.
I tried connecting my iPod Touch since it's configured to auto-sync upon connect, still won't open. I then googled the problem and came across some methods that I don't want to try just yet, since they involve reinstalling iTunes. Also tried uninstalling Bonjour from the Add/Remove Programs menu, but this apparent solution did not work either.
I run Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 32-bit. This started happening after I updated to QuickTime 7.7 (from 7.6 I believe). Is there a fix for this problem without reinstalling? If possible, I don't want to lose my library settings. Thanks!

Could you check something further for me please, df? Is your QuickTime Player also currently failing to launch (with or without an error message)?

ITunes won't open now (and I didn't do anything!)

I'm seriously angry here. I've had so many problems related to iTunes. The past 2 times my iTunes stopped working altogether and I actually resorted to formatting my whole hard drive both times.
It's been working fine now for a month. I turned my computer off (properly) last night and today I turned it on and the first thing I tried to do was open iTunes and all it gives me is the stupid "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and gives me the option to send an error report.
I have already tried repairing iTunes, deleting and reinstalling it, and downloading a fresh copy and installing that. Nothing has changed.
Can anyone help me?

Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
If you see QuickTime, remove it
Then try repairing iTunes
If that doesn't work, go back into Add/Remove Programs and make sure QuickTime is uninstalled.
Then, go here and download and install the version of QuickTime that does NOT include iTunes
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
If you run into problems uninstalling Quicktime, download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Go to Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
Find QuickTime in the list and remove it.

After Update ITUNES Won't Open, Apparent Quicktime Problem, PLEASE HELP

I Have recently updated my Itunes, after installation of the updates I was unable to access itunes due to a problem with Quicktime. After trying to repair quicktime, with no luck, I have uninstalled (following Apple’s support system). There were two programs labelled “Apple Application Support”, one allowed me to delete and the other older one didn’t delete and came up with the prompts below, so I just installed itunes/quicktime again. The same response happened when trying to open itunes. So I followed Apple’s support system and deleted all I could again. What was left is below, any help would be extremely useful.
In “Uninstall or Change a Program” of windows 7, I was unable to delete Version 1.1.0 which is 32.3 MB installed on the 03/03/2010 of the Apple Application Support.
*When deleting it comes up with a box that says:*
+The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.+
+Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package ‘appleApplicationSupport.msi’ in the below box.+
C:UsersSeanAppDataLocalTempIXP722.TMP
I could only follow the path to the “Temp” part …\IXP722.TMP does not exist in that folder.
_Any Help with this problem would be Greatly appreciated._

This kind of problem often responds to using the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility. Here is a method:
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista and Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

I Downloaded new version of ITunes - won't open now.

What a fiasco. Everything was working fine until I bit on the message to "update my IPod software". I finally succumbed to that then everything went to (*&(. After the IPOD update, my Itunes would not open my IPOD even though the device manager recognized it. So, I went to Apple support and downloaded the new Itunes. It won't open and my IPod is hosed - file folder with exclamation point. I even tried reloading the Itunes disk I got with the original purchase in 04/2005. Didn't work. I am on my third IPod since 04/2005 and it looks like I may need to send this one in also. But, I need to get Itunes up and running. I would restore my IPod if it was recognized. HELP.

top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

Itunes won't open without quicktime installation

My itunes won't budge. It says the new quicktime 7.13 needs to be installed. I've went through the same process downloading it about 3 times. At the end of every one it says "Can not download, the new verison is present on this computer." (something along those lines you get the picture). But everytime I click on itunes or a music file the same message about quicktime appears and it tells me to reinstall itunes, which I've done as well.
Someone have any idea what's going on?

No, the iTunes program itself is in a completely different Windows folder than the actual music files.
But you SHOULD back up your music files, ya know.
Anyway. Do a QuickTime standalone install.
Make sure to turn off your security software (norton or whatever) before saving the file to your hard drive.
Then run QuickTimeSetup.exe from your hard drive.

ITunes won't open without Quicktime

Recently, I was in the process of upgrading iTunes. Something came up and I had to cancel the upgrade. Now, when I go to open iTunes, it says that I need a higher version of Quicktime, and to try re-installing iTunes. I know this is probably a stupid question, but if I reinstall iTunes, I won't lose all my music, will I?

ITunes won't open because Quicktime was not found!

This is the first time this error came up, when i open iTunes, an error comes up saying "QuickTime Unavaliable" and how i have to uninstall iTunes and install it again... Well i did that a million times and uninstall quicktime and installed quicktime over and over and over and over agaim and this error keeps popping up!!! I NEED HELP!!! This error has no number, it just says i need to uninstall tinues and reinstall it!

If you definitely have a working QuickTime but iTunes thinks that you7 do not, then this points to a particular type of error.
Do you have a computer that has been set up for a work network? You may find that iTunes works OK when the computer is connected to the network but doesn't at home when not connected.
There are other possibilities, but this is a common one.
If I have guessed right, the problem lies in the %path% environment variable. In order to look at its contents, could you do the following:
Type:
cmd
into your search box and click cmd under Programs.
The black cmd window will open.
Next copy&paste the following into the cmd window and press return:
echo %path% >documents\path.txt
This will place the contents of the %path% variable in a text file called Path in (My) Documents.
Could you copy&paste this text file into your next post so I can look at it.
(Use ctrl V to paste into the editor, right click doesn't work.)

ITunes won't open because it has an issue w/ Quick Time...

I went to use my new iPod Shuffle, and I got the above error message. I tried to uninstall and re-install quick-time, as recommended, but each time I do, it claims that an instillation of quick-time is already running. It goes on to say that I should complete that instillation before staring another one. The thing of it is, I installed both iTunes and quick-time a looooooooooooooooong time ago.
So here I am stuck, unable to remove/un-install quick-time, and so I also can't re-install it, or open iTunes, or use my new iPod. The only thing that I can think of is to tyr and remove itunes as well, the re-install them both. I am loathe to do this however, as I don't want the added headache of having to re-create my entire library after the fact...

Sadly no... In point of fact, it seems that quicktime may not be the only culprit at work here. I tred method 1, 3, 4, & 5. I was able to finally remove the QT Systems folder, which contained the last vestiges of the old quick time program. The problem that remais, is even in trying to un-register then re-register the installer is the same for un & re-installing quick time. Apparently there is a program that is STILL in the process of being installed. It may have not been a duplicate, unfinished copy of quick time but of some other program instead. When I tried to un-register the installer, at first I got an 'unspecified error'. Then I got the 'an instillation is in progress, you must finish it before starting another one, etc, etc....' I think that I may have to either have someone try 'Method 11' instead, as it is Waaaaaaaaay beyond my limited abilities. That, or I may have to do a total system restore (after backing up all those lovely modifications and tweaks that I've made over the last 6 or 7 years, groan.... Either way it's gonna be a headache. Why is it that the windows installer doesn't allow teh user to monitor progress of any installs, and get rid of a stalled operation that's clogging the system? headdesk

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 7.6.2 won't open after Quicktime update! Help!

Hello,
I just updated Quicktime through Software update and now iTunes won't open. It bounces in the dock, stop and shows the light underneath in the dock, the colored disc mouse spins for 10 or 15 seconds and then it quits before any windows open. Then the Apple error comes up saying iTunes unexpectedly quit etc.
What do I do? I've tried reinstalling iTunes but nothing works! Help!
Thanks in advance.

Could you check something further for me please, df? Is your QuickTime Player also currently failing to launch (with or without an error message)?

Quicktime won't update, itunes won't open...having no luck :(

I'm getting an error message when I try to download the current quicktime. iTunes won't open without it. The error message is below:
It says "Could not open key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
I tried a link that was posted in another discussion about manually editing the registry and it did not change anything. I still get the same error message. I've actually looked over quite a few suggestions in other discussions (like deleting quicktime all over the place and trying to reinstall it) and nothing seems to work. I finally was able to get the newest version of itunes downloaded. However, when I go to launch itunes it will not open b/c it says that i need the newest version of quicktime (which i cannot download). When I try to download it via standalone, it gives me a new error message similar to the original except now the location is QuickTime.QuickTime rather than QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp. Before I uninstalled QT, I was able to edit the registry for the QT Player LIb and App. Since they did nothing I unistalled it again. However, after I uninstalled it, (and reinstalled just itunes which it finally updated) I tried to reinstall and it would not install because the new error message is the most resent one above... in the registry it will not let me change/save any permissions changes to QuickTime.QuickTime. I've again tried to uninstall it but now QT isn't there at all. I've been at this thing for a week and nothing seems to be working... any suggestions? I would love help!!!!
Oh, and I don't know if this will help at all, but I have an ipod mini from like 2003... when I couldn't get itunes to update at all to the current version I decided to uninstall itunes and my ipod mini... so then i had to reinstall my ipod with the cd software that came with it which also installed itunes... it worked fine and would open... then I tried to update itunes again and somehow i managed to get it to update itunes... however, when i go to launch itunes it won't let me b/c of the version of quicktimes i currently have. Thanks in advance for any help!

so i tried to download the windows installer update from the link you gave me but now i'm getting a different error and it won't let me download the installer. The error reads:
Windows Script Host
Script: C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsl.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject"
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. Please help!

I changed my password then shut mozilla down now Itunes won't open on my computer

Re: itunes won't open Jan 15, 2012 7:46 PM (in response to cratervoid)
1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

Just did the iTunes update that iTunes said was available now iTunes won't open, keep getting Runtime Error message. R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the apps support team for more info.

Is anyone else having this problem?
I tried to re-install and got the following message: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
Does this mean I have now lost everything?

I just had the same error:
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the apps support team for more info.
I went to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 and did a complete removal and reinstallation of iTunes. You MUST follow the directions here exactly...it's more than just iTunes that must be removed, and it MUST be done in the order in which the support article says. I followed the exact instructions, and iTunes is back on my machine (no more C runtime error) and you do NOT lose your music...it's all in my library, as it was before.
Good luck!

ITunes won't open, now Quicktime is giving me a hard time!
