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.

    Even though you're getting a different error message, try heading into the iTunes compatibility tab, as per the following document. (Make sure that none of the boxes in there are checked ... having any box in there checked, not just the compatibility mode box itself, can cause problems.)

  • 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 saved

    Try 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 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 load because MSVCR8.dII is missing - solution?

    I can't open itunes and get a message that programme can't start because MSVCR8.dII is missing. Try installing this programme. I've no idea why it is suddenly missing. Also, when I fire up the computer I get a message saying APS Daemon.exe.system error. I am not sure if this is a Firefox issue or conflict problem but if anyone can give me a steer I would be grateful.

    Hello,

  • Quicktime wont load because the installer thinks I have a newer level quicktime installed already.

    quicktime wont load because the installer thinks I have a newer level quicktime installed already.  Thus the newest level of iTunes and quicktime will not install, help... Thanks.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

    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.

  • Itunes wont load up...

    form some reason, itunes wont load up. I deleted two files - think they were sync files becasue when i did an archive and install it failed to keep my itunes games in synch with my ipod.
    is the simpliest solution just to download itunes and re-install?
    can i re-authorise my library (games) if i do this?

    I have paid for itunes and they are in my library. when I synch with my IPOD, they do not transfer and the message says that I am unauthorized. How can I get them on my IPOD?
