Itunes won't run - says quicktime is v6.5

After responding to apple's notification that new software is available, I downloaded and installed the latest version of itunes and quicktime. I restarted the machine and now I can't launch iTunes!
Get error message: Quicktime V 6.5 is installed - iTunes requires Quicktime V7.0 or later.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled from their download package twice now. Any ideas out there?

ITunes won't run - says AppleApplicationSupport missing.

My iTunes won't open because it says the AppleApplicationSupport is missing. I checked, and it was there.
I uninstalled it, and then tried to re-install from most recent files available from Apple, but it won't install now because it says a new version is already there (although it is now gone and the version I'm trying to install is the latest avaible)
I had recently performed some registry cleaning and program elimination to help improve my computer's speed - so I'm sure botched something up.
Can anyone help?

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 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.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

Itunes won't run, says "invalid drive g:\"

There are two users on my PC. After upgrading to itunes 7 only the user that is the administrator can run itunes. When I log in as the other user and click on itunes, it begins to install then stops and says "invalid drive g:\" What can I do to resolve this?

Are you trying to RUN it in the other account or INSTALL it. Big difference. You should only have to install iTunes ONCE for the entire computer and all user accounts can use it.
However only one user account at a time can be running iTunes in Windows (Mac users can have multiple users all running iTunes at the same time). So you installed it on the Admin account. Now shut down iTunes. Open the other account and simply run iTunes (if that isn't what you did before).

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:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL761
If you install that does that clear up the iTunes trouble?

ITunes won't run - invisible window where iTunes should be, but it never launches.

I'm running Windows Vista 32 (I know, I should upgrade) and over the last few weeks, I noticed that my podcast wasn't downloading new eps. Now, iTunes won't run at all.
I've done a full scan of the PC and there are no viruses found. I'm using Kaspersky.
I've un-installed all Apple apps and rebooted before trying to reload iTunes and it never runs.
Anyone have any idea what might be preventing iTunes from running?
I have a Windows 7 PC on the other desk, connected through the same switch and Cable Modem and iTunes is running fine on it, so it's not network / internet related, as far as I can tell.
Thank you,
J

"The feature that you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to another folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi in the box below"
Let's just run through the standard procedures for that one again, just to be sure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Then use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC. (Launch CleanUp, find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, and remove those entries.)
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?
(If any step of this procedure failed to work, explain to us as best you can what the problem was.)

Itunes won't run after download

itunes won't run after download. simply asks to acknowledge agreement which I did. help

You appear to be able to backup your contacts without iTunes. Google "backup iphone contacts without itunes".
The way to avoid having to get a tech person in is to get past the idea that your problem (which you still haven't defined) is "beyond my ability to fix". ;-)

Itunes 7.5 won't run because QuickTime 7.3 is broken

During installation of itunes you will get an error saying "Itunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes". The reason is because QuickTime 7.3 is broken. You can check by opening QTInfo.exe in the quicktime folder and it will say QuickTime is not installed. What you can do is downgrade to QuickTime 7.2. Get it at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime72forwindows.html. iTunes 7.5 will run fine with it.

Hi,
Thank you. Had to perform the following steps 'IN ORDER' to get 7.5 to work. Formerly was running iTunes 7.3.1 'without' incident.
1) Install iTunes 7.5. Quick Time 7.3 installs at same time. When error message occurs, click OK and finish installation.
2) Go to 'control panel' and remove 'Quick Time 7.3'
3) Install Quick Time '7.2.
4) Re-boot system and launch iTunes 7.5. How 'bout that. It works !!
Best Regards, DE

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. says error report

everytime i click on itunes a window comes up saying
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
we are sorry for the inconvenience."
then at the buttom there are two links sayind SEND ERROR REPORT and DON'T SEND.
clicking either one won't do anything.
neither will uninstalling it and reinstalling it.
or restarting my computer.
i need help.

let's first check to see if this is associated with a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

ITunes won't run at all after updating 10.5

I have recently updated iTunes to 10.5, and now it won't run/open at all. Gives me an error and doesn't even open it at all. I have tried everything apple says to do but nothing has worked so far. Please help me, I really want my iTunes running again! If you need more information/details, please ask. I'd be happy to help you if you're going to help me. :-)

Anyone? Please?

After iTunes upgrade iTunes won't run

When I started my iTunes earlier today (after a long time of not using it), I got a message saying that my current version (6, I think) was outdated and that I should upgrade to the newest version which is 7 (I think.) So I did that and now iTunes will not run at all! I keep getting a message saying something very similar to "QuickTime version 7.1 is installed; iTunes requires QuickTime 7.1.3 or higher; reinstall iTunes." So I have re-downloaded iTunes+QuickTime v. 7.1.5 several times and reinstalled, but I keep getting that same message. I can run QuickTime 7.1.5 which is definitely installed on my computer, but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize it. Meanwhile, I have no iTunes and my iPod which was being updated continues to display :do not disconnect." Please Help

let's try swapping out your QuickTime using a slightly different technique.
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?

TS3297 updated iTunes won't run on iMac OS X 10.6.8

I have the updated iTunes 11.0.3 and OS X 10.6.8 but now my iMac won't let me open iTunes as it says it is not supported. My Mac is a late 2006 and so, I cannot download OS Mountain Lion (if that is a potential solution), so I don't know how to get iTunes to open now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

ITunes won't install because Quicktime won't

I had QT on my computer, the latest version, and I tried to download iTunes and it says "Quicktime will not install. iTunes needs Quicktime to run." and the only option I have is to close.
I removed QT and tried to install QT w/ iTunes, same error.
I tried then to just install iTunes. same error
I put QT back on alone, tried iTunes again, same error.
If anyone can help before I have to return my new ipod because of software issues that would be cool. thanks.

I had QT on my computer, the latest version, and I tried to download iTunes and it says "Quicktime will not install. iTunes needs Quicktime to run."
with that one, let's try getting an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

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.
