Itunes won't work because of quicktime

I try to open itunes...and recieve a message reading..."Quicktime version 7.0.2 is installed, Itunes requires Quictime version 7.0.3 or later. Please reinstall Itunes."............well i do and it still doesn't work...what can i possibly do now??

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?

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.

Itunes installation doesnt work because of Quicktime

I've had an ipod for a while, and then we switched to XP PRO for increased security. After sometime itunes stopped working. So my dad and i have used like every uninstaller and remover and some piece of quicktime is still somewhere on my computer. When i go into add or remove programs, it still shows quictime but doesnt show any file size or any option to delete it. When i install itunes, it just says quicktime cant be removed. then it says itunes needs quicktime and closes. please help.

ITunes won't install because of Quicktime?

When I tried to install iTunes, it went through the installation, but at the very end, it quit and i got a message saying,
The installation of Quicktime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires Quicktime.
The problem is, though, that I had just installed Quicktime less than an hour ago. Is there any other reason that iTunes will not install? Thanks.

Itunes won't work, neither does Quicktime

I've been trying to search for answers in the forum regarding my problem. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn't work. I used to have Windows Professional 2000 but recently our IT guys changed it to Windows XP. Itunes and Quicktime work perfectly fine before but now it doesn't. Whenever I launch Itunes, it shows the following message:
Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Quicktime doesn't even want to launch at all.
Based on some forum postings here, it says that the most likely problem is Quicktime and I have to install a Quicktime only version. I did but it still doesn't work.
Help! I can live without Quicktime but I can't live without Itunes. I can't even update my Ipod now :-S

it's a program by that name.
okay, let's try getting a crash log (of the itunes launch crash error) to the Apple Engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and 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

ITunes won't work because of domain group policy

Hi my work just implemented a really stupid group policy through our domain that dissallows any file named iTunes.exe to run. The good news is I can rename iTunes.exe and get iTunes to work. That bad news is once I rename iTunes.exe the iPod service is unable to start. The iPod service I assume is what automatically launches iTunes when you plug in your iPod. Does anyone know if a way to let the iPod service and any other file that depends on iTunes.exe that I have renamed it?

I don't have a solution for you, but as a system administrator I feel I must comment.
I don't know about where you work -- but at my job, deliberate circumvention of policy is "abuse" and is considered grounds for termination. The computer you use at work is not yours; it belongs to the company you work for.
If you have a problem with the policy you should take it up with the administrators or your management -- not try to circumvent it. Perhaps the policy is based on a misunderstanding that you could clear up! You (your computer, really) might even be granted an exception to the policy.

Itunes won't work because of missing "MSVCR80.dll" ?

I am unable to start up itunes on my pc. It gives the above error when I try. I have tried three times to re-install directly from apple.com and have tried the update. Nothing has been succesful and every time I receive the same error. Any suggestions?

Can't deinstall Quicktime. Itunes won't work anymore..

Hi
I'm having problems with my itunes / quicktime. It all started off when I wanted to open Itunes and I got a message that I need to update quicktime 6.5.2 to 7.1 or higher. Then I tried reinstalling Itunes hoping it would put the new quicktime on. Didnt work.. so I tried installing only quicktime.. and now - Itunes won't work (if I click the Icon it just does nothing).. reinstalling or deinstalling and then reinstalling doesn't help.. AND I can't deinstall quicktime. I always get a fatal error at the end of the deinstallation process..
Can someone help me? I would really like to update my Ipod..
Thanks for your answers..

(blush) thank you kindly, Kirk. that means an awful lot coming from you.
although there's always a burst of reports of Codec Pack issues when the minimum version of QT required for an itunes version goes up, we've had a decided uptick in reports of problems that turned out to be related to them this time.
the combined symptom set that i always check for Codec Pack issues with is:
"itunes has encountered a problem" error message when launching itunes.
error-message-free QuickTime launch failure.
QuickTime won't uninstall from Add/Remove Programs.
just this weekend, i managed to confirm it's worth checking for a Codec Pack issue if people get the following message (or the English equivalent) when trying to open their QT control panel:
Une exception s'est produite lors de la tentative d'execution de
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\quicktime.cpl",QuickTime"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4476095#4476095
(other more standard varieties of broken QuickTimes can produce these symptoms, but the Codec Packs add complications to the treatment for them, so it's worth checking on the presence of a Codec Pack fairly early on in proceedings.)

How can I copy my music files to my iPAD. The CDs are currently stored in folders on my PC. Note: Synching via iCLOUD won't work because I have VISTA OS and I need at least Windows 7 or 8.

Hi ladextr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. To sync your music to your iPad, first put your music in iTunes as described here:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Once that's done, you can sync the music to your iPad by following this article:

my itunes won't work so i tried reinstalling and when it starts an error pops up 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 'Itunes.msi' in the box below
please help, its frustrating

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 revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?

Connect your iPad to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

Itunes won't "read" because it was created by a newer version of itunes

I just updated my operating system finally and when I try to open itunes I get : itunes won't "read" because it was created by a newer version of itunes.

This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

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!

Thank you. Nick

Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)
Re: How do I turn off the compatibility mode for ITunes.
Does that clear up the compatibility message?
