Itunes wont open, needs newer version of quicktime, but newest is installed
I installed IMesh a while back and as soon as I did my Itunes refused to open. Everytime I try to open it, it says "Quicktime version 7.1 is installed, Itunes requires Quicktime 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall Itunes". So then I tried numerous times to reinstall Itunes, uninstall it and then reinstall it, used the installer cleanup thing, and even tried to install Quicktime and Itunes separately - I feel like it's still malfunctioning because of Imesh, even though I deleted iMesh entirely. Please help! I'm absolutely desperate.
okay. let's try swapping out your QuickTime one more time.
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?

Hi, eventually managed to install latest iTunes on laptop with windows 7 32 bit, but when I connect my ipad it states that I need a later version of amds and to uninstall this and iTunes then re-install iTunes. Tried this, but no-luck.
I've checked the driver in the device manager and when I click properties and search it states that I have the latest version.
This is driving me insane!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
AnyHave you run windows update? That could prevent iTunes from properly installing. Also, try with your antiVirus and firewall disabled. What version of Windows are you running?
OS X is the operating system on the Mac.

itunes wont open at all, error message : quicktime was not found .... please reinstall ... i did that but no luck this only seems to have happened since the 10.4 update, im on windows 7 ..
Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again. -
I can't open a doc in Pages, msg says I need "newer version of Pages" but it's already downloaded and updated. Help plse
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Itunes wont open need help backing up music on external hard drive
My itunes wont open after upgraded to 8 , ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime and still wont work. i found a topic to possibly help me but i dont know how to tranfer my music to an external disk drive without being able to open itunes. i am getting so frustrated. please help
A usb hard drive that Windows sees doesn't need software for a simple back up.
Format the hard drive Disk Management, if it doesn't come already formatted, and then drag and drop the iTunes folder and whatever other data you want to back up to it.
What you're describing doesn't sound like something iTunes did. If you're having general install troubles you have another problem with your system and it's time for a little troubleshooting to find out what's really going on. -
Itunes wont open on new hard drive
I left my pc in for repair a few weeks ago and when I got it back I could not access i Tunes. I had to download iTunes again which I did but I cannot get into it. I just get the message 'the file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read bedcause it was created by a newer version of i Tunes'.
How do I manage to get back into i Tunes and sync/update my phone apps?
Suggestions?
ThanksHi!
You should just need to install a new version of iTunes. You can get the installer from this page.
Let us know if that helps! -
Itunes wont open with new os x yosemite
Hello,
I'm trying to open my iTunes music but it doesn't open at all with the new os x yosemite
thanks,Hello Julio.26,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to help resolve this issue where your iTunes application will not launch on your Mac, I'd like you to please follow the directions in the article below to reinstall iTunes.
Download the latest installer
Open Safari or another web browser.
Go to the iTunes download webpage and click the Free Download button.
Make sure that the Mac OS X version is selected on that page.
Click the Download button to start the download.
Once the file is downloaded, a new Finder window appears containing two items (below). If a Finder window doesn't appear, locate the iTunesX.dmg file (where X is the iTunes version number) on the desktop (or wherever your downloads go) and double-click it to display these items:
A "Read Before You Install iTunes" file. This document contains the system requirements for the version of iTunes, and may contain other useful information about installing.
An iTunes.mpkg file (this is the installer file itself).
Install iTunes
Quit iTunes if it is currently open.
Double-click the iTunes.mpkg file. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
Follow the instructions in the installer screens. If all of the installation components appear unchecked and dimmed (unavailable, and therefore not installable), refer to Mac OS X iTunes installer components are disabled.
After the installation has completed, quit the Installer and restart the computer. The new version of iTunes appears on your hard disk in your Applications folder.
Opening iTunes
It's possible that clicking the iTunes icon in your Dock or double-clicking an iTunes icon on your desktop could open an older version of iTunes. Open iTunes from the Applications folder to be sure you are opening the right version:
Double-click your hard disk.
Double-click the Applications folder.
Double-click the iTunes icon.
If you notice another copy of iTunes in the Dock after following these steps, here's a way to take care of that:
Quit iTunes.
Drag the iTunes icon out of the Dock.
Drag the iTunes icon from the Applications folder to the Dock.
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X
Take care,

Need newer version of pages but I'm told that I'm up to date.
Yesterday I created a Pages document. Today I tried to open it but but I'm told that I need a newer version of Pages to open the document. I open App store and it tells me that I'm all up to date.
I'm running OS X 10.9.5 and Pages '09 version 4.3. Please help.You have two versions of Pages installed on your Mac.
When you attempt to open a document in Pages ’09 and it presents the following dialog, it is because the document was opened, and auto-saved in Pages v5.2.2 — rendering it unusable in Pages ’09 (without a deliberate export as Pages ’09). The only thing you have to do is double-click that original Pages ’09 document, and Pages v5.2.2 will do the damage.
The only way to keep Pages ’09 documents away from Pages v5.2.2 is to do the following:
Use the Pages ’09 document chooser window for file open
Right click on the document icon, and from the contextual menu, Open with > Pages (4.3)
Drag and drop a known Pages ’09 document onto the Pages ’09 application icon in the Dock
Use the Pages ’09 File > Open, or File > Open Recent menu items
Use the OS X Mavericks Tags to put a blue tag on Pages ’09 documents for visual ID -
Whenever i try to open my itunes it says "itunes has encountered an error and needs to close." Ive tried repairing itunes, reinstalling itunes, uninstalling quicktime and installing the standalone version, and then installn ewido anti-mallware and trying to remove some of those inected files. Nothing has worked and ive read through some of the post at i cant find anything else. Please leave me some suggestions! thanks
adamThe first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistance the next time you run it and you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
Hope this helps. -
Needs new version of quicktime that hates me.
when I go to open iTunes it gives me an error message that says QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime 7.0.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't open at all.
I've reinstalled iTunes several (more than five) times without success. I've tried uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling a later version, without success.
what should I do?
Dell PC Windows XPPerhaps this will help:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
You may need to clean up the Windows registry with CCleaner (freeware) once you have QuickTime uninstalled, just to make sure there are no lingering entries from the old Public Preview edition of QuickTime.
Hope this does indeed help. -

Unable to install new version of quicktime
Ive tried to install the new version of quicktime but windows tells me that "it cannot uninstall the older version
of the program". Went to add and remove and deleted the older version. No quicktime files remaining in the windows system 32 folder. Have disabled all virus, spyware and firewall programs, in fact have disabled all programs in msconfig startup tab. No quicktime folder shows in windows explorer. Show all hidden files marked. I am system admin. on my computer. Have deleted the contents of the temp folder and the trash bin. Still the same error. This also prevents me from using the newer version of itunes.
Please help as I have been at this for quite a while nowI have had a ipod for a long time and now suddenly i have to download a newier version of itunes and QuickTime. So I tried to but it won't work. I went and looked my file and it says I have them but every time I try to get into itunes it says "QuickTime version 7.0.4 is installed, itunes requires QuickTime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall itunes".I tried alot to get it working again and this is the only computer we have! Can you help me quick?
