dell2008,
If you go to the Quicktime control panel and click "about Quicktime" what does it say there for the version number on Quicktime? It should be 7.1.3.

Itunes won't start unless a cd is in the cd tray.

Hi all,
I have moved last week from WinXP to Windows 7 and since then iTunes (the last version, 9.0.1) refuses to start, unless I have a cd (data or music doesn't matter) in the cd tray. The error that I get says:
"Quick Time not found. Quick time is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes , then install iTunes again"
Of course Quick Time is installed (combo package with iTunes).
Anybody has an idea about what's happening??
Thanks in advance for help.

Thanks Harv55, but I have already done this twice and nothing happened...
I have even installed separately Quicktime but this didn't help either.

ITunes Won't Start After Airport Upgrade

After running the latest upgrade to Airport Utility and upgrading the firmware on my Airport Extreme, I lost all access to my iTunes library that is housed on a Drobo attached to the Airport. When trying to start iTunes, I get error "13005".
I normally access my library from both a Windows XP/SP3 box and a MacBook. I have tried the following steps:
1) deleted genius.itdb and extras.itdb.
2) Repaired iTunes install.
3) Removed and reinstalled iTunes.
4) Plugged the Drobo directly into the Windows box (no airport or USB hub).
Still no love. I was able to rebuild my library via my MacBook, and I created a Windows XP user account which can successfully run iTunes and see the library once I rebuilt it. However my main XP account (with Admin access) still cannot start iTunes.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Katrina. I was able to find what I needed through the link that you provided.
To those that are having this problem, here's what I did to fix this issue:
+If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?+
+1. Open AirPort Utility.+
+2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key *(Control key in Windows XP and Vista)* and choose Check for Updates....+
+3. Select the specific firmware version you require.+
+4. Click Download.+
+5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.+
+6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.+
+7. Select a firmware version and click OK.+
+An important note about installing firmware+
+After you have successfully installed a firmware update, AirPort Utility will wait for the AWD to restart. Once the AWD is available, AirPort Utility will display the standard configuration setup window with the Manual Setup and Continue buttons. Unless you intentionally wish to change some configuration of one of your apple Wireless Devices, you do not need to click Continue. At this point, simply quit AirPort Utility. Your AWD should be functioning correctly.+
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1218
I chose firmware: Airport Extreme with 8-2.11n (Fast Ethernet) 7.3.2 Be patient, as Airport Utility will report that it can't find the AEBS, but after a short while mine was back. I did not roll back my version of Airport Utility.
All appears to be normal and the iTunes library is rebuilding as I type this. Hopefully, Apple will figure out what's causing the problem with firmware 7.4.1

ITunes won't start unless Bonjour is repaired

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit.
Here's what happens...
I click on iTunes.exe or a shortcut, and nothing happens. My dock app shows it's running, Task Manager shows iTunes.exe is running and fully loaded into memory, but no iTunes window appears.
In order for iTunes to pop up, I have to go into "Control Panel > Programs and Features" and "Repair" Bonjour. Halfway through the repair process, the iTunes window appears and is fully functional.
Is there a permanent fix for this so I don't have to mess with Bonjour when I want to start iTunes?

I have a PC using Windows XP professional. I was trying to install iTunes in preparation for syncing with an iPad. I found tha iTunes was loading into memory, but not starting. I used the info from Apple about how to track down a windows conflict using MSCONFIG. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292) Following their advice I disabled all non Microsoft startups and all services to determine which one was causing iTunes to fail to start. I found that "Bonjour Service" was the culprit. If I disabled it in MSConfig I could start iTunes. After reseting MSConfig to start my computer normally I found that I could not start iTunes without stoping "Bonjour Service" first. "Bonjour Service" can be started and stopped by using the menu path:"Control Panel" -> "Administrative Tools" -> "Services". After iTunes starts, you can restart "Bonjour Service" without crashing the program.
I believe that Bonjour is a part of the iTunes installation and I do not know why it is conflicting with iTunes on my computer. From my internet searches it seems that many others are having this same problem.

Won't start unless I upgrade but am using latest version

Help!!
All of a sudden iPhoto 08 is saying when it starts
"you can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto" then it says I must upgrade to latest version and quits.
I am using the latest version. And I never uninstalled or re-installed, etc. Tried holding down alt and selecting library but no luck. Help please!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It sounds like you have a damaged database file, Library6.iPhoto. Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Itunes won't start - MS says problem is Quicktime

well ... I see so many others have had this problem ... best solution mentioned that I've seen that works, is ... everytime I want to use Itunes, I uninstall Quicktime, reboot, and then reinstall Quicktime standalone. Then it works untill I have to close it.
This stinks ... why doesn't Apple post an effective solution to this apparently common bug ?
I have downloaded all the latest ... still no good. I am disappointed with Apple and wish I hadn't gotten the IPOD.

eh, having to keep installing it sounds like malware, then, if Norton isn't blocking it.
Try this MSCONFIG thing, post back if anything funny shows up on the startup tab

ITunes won't start up when connecting iPhone

My wife has been having this trouble for awhile, and now I started having the same trouble too. She has an iMac G5 running latest versions of Leopard and iTunes. I have a Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet model) running the latest version of Tiger and iTunes I also have a USB 2.0 PCI card which has already been tested and is operating properly. Both of our iPhones are the original model running iPhone 2.0, but this problem was happening on her setup before the 2.0/MobileMe fiasco.
Basically, iTunes won't start on her machine when she sets her iPhone into the iPhone Dock, even though it does show that it is charging. When she clicks iTunes, it syncs new data from her iMac to her iphone, but new data on her iPhone doesn't transfer to her iMac (remember, this is BEFORE the MobileMe/2.0 update). I've tried different sync cables, plugging it in to different USB ports, and always it's the same- it may work properly when I unplug the cable and plug it back in again, but after I remove the iPhone from its dock and set it back in, it malfunctions the same as I just described. It initiates a sync if iTunes is running, but not if iTunes is shut down. The crazy thing is, her syncing was working perfectly both ways until about two months before the MobileMe/2.0 switch, so I know it has nothing to do with that.
Today, my Power Mac and iPhone started displaying the same symptoms, but with a twist- I put my iPhone into its cradle, and nothing- no charging screen and tone, no syncing startup, nothing. I turn iTunes off, pull the iPhone out of the cradle, and set it back in again- nothing. iTunes won't even start up; and when I start it up myself, it still doesn't recognize the iPhone is there. I plug the iPhone into a wall charger using the same cable I sync with, and it starts charging with no problems. I plug my iPhone cradle back into my external USB hub, connected to one of the USB 1.1 ports, and the syncing/charging works flawlessly. The weird thing is, my 4th Generation iPod Photo is on a different dock with a different cable, plugged into the same USB 2.0 card, and iTunes starts and syncs with no problems with that iPod every time.
I've taken my wife's iMac, her iPhone, and her iPhone dock and cable in to the Apple Store's Genius Bar, but they weren't able to figure out the problem. They tried to redirect the syncing issues by trying to demonstrate iPhone 2.0's wireless push/pull capabilities, but they couldn't get that to work properly, even though all the settings on the imac and the iPhone were correct. All they could suggest was that I must have had a "bad upgrade" when I upgraded to Leopard (6 months ago?!?), and that I should try an "Archive and Install" of Leopard again to see if that sorts out the issue- something I do not really have the time to do (and my wife can't really be without her Mac for that long since she uses it for work).
I see a lot of similar issues on Apple's iPhone support pages with iTunes not recognizing iPhones when they're plugged in, or not charging when plugged in, etc. I've spent a lot of money on our Macs and our iPhones based on the idea (from Apple's own marketing) that Apple's products "just work". And darn it, with all the money I've invested into these products I just want them to WORK- EVERY TIME, without fail! These are the kind of problems I left behind in the Windows world, and I don't want their ugly heads to surface here too.

AND ALSO I TOTALLY UNINSTALLED ANY OF MY
ANTIVIRIS THINGYS AND THE SPYWARE STUFF.I D/K WHAT TO
DO ANYMORE!

Hi yesy
If you are sure you disabled your AV/antispy and you get the flash of a licence it sounds like you may have a malware infection. Look out for posts by b noir and get hold of ewido - its a free AV programme - google and you should find.
BTW, you may be in Florida and I'm in the UK, but don't shout - you're just next door in cyberspace!:) I understand your frustration coz I've been in your place. There are some really helpful folks on this forum - seek, and you shall find!

TS1717 itunes won't start because it says the folder was made in newer version, what should be done?

itunes won't start because it says the folder was made in newer version, what should be done?

If you haven't deliberately tried to downgrade iTunes then it is possible the library is corrupt. This approach should work.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Suddenly, iTunes won't start. HELP!

I recenlty upgraded my MacBook OS to Lion, and now iTunes won't start up. I got the following message:
The file "iTunes Libarary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
I then checked to see if there was a new version of iTunes. There was, and I downloaded it (along with several other downloads for other apps), but I still get the same message. I rebooted the computer, but that didn't help.
Interestingly, I looked at the installed software section of Software Update and all the packages I downloaded today are listed...except for iTunes. So, I checked again for software updates, but iTunes doesn't come up as available for download.
The "Get Info" window for the iTunes I currently have installed indicates it's v. 10.3.1, which I'm guessing is not the latest version. So what happened to the download, and how can I find it to try again?
Thanks.
Rich

UPDATE:
I was able to find out how to download the latest version of iTunes and it's now opening and working fine. Thanks.

Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

IPod Touch not recognized in Windows & iTunes won't start unknown error -50

I have been trying to fix a connectivity issue with my iPod touch for almost 6 hours now. I've read all over the iPod Touch forums and none of the solutions worked for me. I've installed and uninstalled iTunes multiple times and nothing seems to work.
Also, earlier this evening iTunes was working but it wouldn't recognize my iPod touch although it would charge. Now that iTunes won't start I'm also having problems with charging my iPod and at no time, was my iPod ever recognized in 'My Computer'.
Someone please help! I'm at my wits end without being able to use and update my iPod. All help/insight/suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance!

here's the original thread: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-17997-ipod-not-detected
if still no joy, it could be that your Touch is a goner. if it is still under warranty, you should plan a trip to the nearest Apple store.

Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

Hello out there,
please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
Please, does anybody know what to do?
Any hints and help are much appreciated!
Thanks a lot
and best regards

Itunes won't start-says it has to shut down

i started having problems with itunes and downlaoded the new itunes. won't start. in the error report it sayd its a compatability issue. when i send the report to ms though, they claim it to be an itunes problem. i could use a lot of help.

+when i tried to start quicktime it produced the same message as itunes with a little change to it. in the last part of the code it was 1482appcomp.txt.+
That problem will be causing the iTunes problem.
So let's try swapping out your existing QuickTime for a fresh copy.
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. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
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?
(If, however, you get an error message on any of the install or uninstalls, let us know what that message says. Precise text, please. Include any error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Itunes won't start up - can't find usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib

Hi,
I had to reinstall the OS 10.3.9 on my ti-book. I did an archive and install, but now iTunes won't start up. Console says it can't find this dynamic library:
usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib
Since I have a lot of my songs in my personal lib on this machine, and podcast susbscriptions, etc - I don't want to lose them if possible.
Is there a way to just install this lib, or will I have to reinstall iTunes altogheter?
I searched for the above file, but can't find it on the disk.
thx.

Do you have any iTunes plugins? You may want to get rid of them and try again.
Also, have you tried removing the corresponding com.apple.itunes.plist files from <youraccount>/Library/Preferences, logging out, logging back in again (or rebooting) and then relaunching iTunes? I don't think an archive and install will refresh this file for you. Nor will reinstalling iTunes.

Itunes won't start unless i upgrade my quicktime?
