ITunes wont download because of Quicktime?
When I try to download itunes it wont let me because it says the quicktime is needed. ive tried and tried and i got to the point were i actually downloaded quicktime seperatley and it still does not work. ive checked the forums up and down and i cant find anything. does anyone have any suggetions please?
Could you give the error message in full and exactly what you were doing when you received it.
The iTunes installer includes Quicktime and it should install it unless something goes wrong.
You should down load the installer from here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And save the file on your desktop. It should be called iTunessetup.exe and your run it from the desktop to install iTunes.
Sometimes if there is a problem with installing iTunes it can help to install QUicktime separately. You need the version of Quicktime that does NOT include iTunes, which is not the default option.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
There is an article on trouble installing itunes here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
If that doesn't help, post back with more details of exactly what you did with error messages in full.

Itunes wont download because I dont have 10.6.8 or greater. But I just installed the snowlion disk thing and my macbook is a 10.6.8 version so how do I get itunes to download?
Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading... -
Itunes wont work because of quicktime or something?
ok
well heres the deal
itunes was working fine for me
until one day i decided to upgrade cause it said i should
from then on
now it wont open because it says i need a high version of quicktime. it says i have quicktime 6.5 i and i need 7.0
however
everytime i try to download quicktime 7.0
it still doesnt open
what am i doin wrong?hi Connie!
how do u kno if u have a k lite mega code pack?
hmm. i think it's something you need to install, so if you don't know you have it, you probably don't have it.
let's try this again, using a QT 7.0.3 standalone installer this time.
first use the QT part of the uninstall instructions given here to get rid of that existing QT you have:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
after you do that, download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and use it to check if you still have an entry for Quicktime. if so, remove it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
then download the standalone QT 7.0.3. save it to your hard drive (we'll run the installation from there rather than online). again, switch off any antivirus and antispyware prior to the install:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
reboot after that install. will itunes run properly now?

Itunes wont open because of quicktime
ok i downloaded the latest itunes download and restarted my comp now if i try to open the open itunes i get a message stating itunes cannot run because it detects a problem with quicktime and if i click the help button nothing happens
plz help me i have a lot of music savedTry removing QUicktime and installing the stand alone version. Also check for incompatible software.
Here is a method
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK. -
Itunes wont load because of QuickTime
If i try to run itunes a message pops up saying "QuickTime version 7.5 is installed, iTunes requires QuickTime version 7.5.5 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
My problem is that i have the lastest version of quicktime.
How can i fix this???I had the same problem and after downloading itunes I got the same message. I downloaded Quicktime 7.5.5 standalone using the second option listed (without itunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Then I loaded the new itunes. Works fine again.
PS: I originally uninstalled my old itunes and quicktime. From reading prior messages here, that was unnecessary. I should have loaded quicktime standalone first and then itunes should have worked. Wonder why we all so much trouble this time around. -
TS1567 Itunes wont download because Apple Mobile Device cannot be used due to error 1053
i bought an ipod touch 4th generation for my friend. She could not download Itunes beacause of the Apple mobile device not being able to activate due to an ''error 1053''... That error is something about not having the correct amdinistator privileges. I tried to run the download as the administrator but i needed the administrator password she said that she cant remember the password, actually she said that there was never a password. Is there maybe a way to dowload the Apple Mobile Device again so that she can download Itunes?
Its because your mobile device isnt started. Heres how to restart it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

Itunes wont download because it says i need to uodate but these no update
i bought a second hand mac book air 08 ithasnt been used since then so it needs alot of updates i down loaded all the up dates it asked me to but when i got to update itunes it wont let me because it needs updates
So presumably you are running Leopard 10.5.8? You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
or Mountain Lion:

Itunes wont download because Apple Mobile Support Device cannot be removed
I had an older version of itunes but an update came up. It said in order to download the update i had to uninstall the older version of itunes. I did but once i tried to upload the newer version, the installer said it could not be installed because the "apple mobile device support" could not be removed, i have tried everything and nothing has worked yet? Can anyone help me?
A window pops up and it is titled Windows Installer and it 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 'Apple Mobile Device Support.msi' in the box below.
Perfect information thank you, Slowmotion. With that one it's not a BonJour issue ... rather, the installation configuration information for your existing Apple Mobile Device Support is damaged, and so Windows Installer can't remove it. So we'll have to clear the installation database for AMDS in order for the iTunes install to go through.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any *Apple Mobile Device Support* entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

ITunes wont work because of DEP
My itunes wont work because of DEP closing it. I have tried unistalling my quicktime and unistalling my itunes and reinstalling them but it still wont work. i have followed a couple of discussions but it still wont work. Can someone help me please.
many thanks. That's got another possibility ruled out.
Checking again. When you did your iTunes reinstall, was it a complete iTunes uninstall/reinstall as per the instructions from the following documents?

Hello, ollieallen.
I am unsure what operating system you are running so I am going to include articles for Windows XP and Vista, 7 and 8. Completely uninstall all components of iTunes and then reinstall the program.

I'm trying to download the newest version of I tunes because I just got the I phone 5c..it wont download because I have to have I tunes 10.6.8 but it wont let me download that either because I need I tunes 10.6 to get it and I can't find that download anywhere..I need to get the book for school on my I pad or phone by tomorrow...what do I do?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The iPhone 5c needs iTunes 11.1, which requires Mac OS X 10.6.8. See if your Mac can be upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If so, buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then, make a backup of your data with Time Machine or Disk Utility's Restore, insert the disc and follow its steps to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. You shouldn't lose compatibility with any application. After upgrading, open > Software Update, and install the latest version. It will install iTunes 11.1, so you will be able to sync the iPhone 5c with your Mac -

Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer. I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Please HELP!!
I'd first try experimenting with a different browser. If you've been using IE for the download, try Firefox instead (or vice versa).
If no luck there, there's some other suggestions in the following document. (You're not getting the error message, but your problem here falls into the same general class of download trouble.)
iTunes: Windows reports that "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
