ITUNES WONT OPEN OR REINSTALL!! PLEASE HELP!!

Everytime I try to open my itunes I get a pop-up saying
"QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires QuickTime version 7.1.3 or later.
Please reinstall iTunes."
This message also appears whenever I try to update my itunes or reinstall it. Can someone please help me??

Go here. Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and do a stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes. That might help. Sometimes extra hidden files can muck up an installation.

ITUNES WONT OPEN AT ALL - PLEASE HELP!

Can someone please help me! I downloaded itunes 6 about a week ago, its been working fine up until last night. Everytime I go to open itunes I get the annoying error message - 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'.
I have tried re-installing itunes and quick time, I have tried recreating my library, still doesnt work.
I think it may be something to do with quicktime, as when I click on it on my desktop I get an error message and it wont open. Also when I go to the quicktime page on apple.com I get a message saying about a plugin wasnt initialized. Quicktime isnt in my add/remove programs list either. I have tried installing the QuickTime standalone download, its almost does it then I get error message come up saying something like DLL Function Call Crashed!
I would really appreciate it if someone has any help on this as Apple couldnt care less!

My OS X Mountain Lion PDF wont open - invaild code - Please help

I bought this MacBook Pro on june 21. Its brand new, so yes I qualify for the free Mountain Lion upgrade. I finally got my 2 emails and I seriously have no idea what to do. The instructions make no sense at all. I open the PDF and enter my code I was given via Email and its too long / doesnt fit in the Protected Password PDF. I click enter, doesnt work, I enter parts of it, and it doesnt work. no matter what it doesnt work. I tried entering the code on the Reedem section of the Mac App store, still does NOT work. What am I doing worng? I called the Apple store and they said I was entering the code in worng. I am NOT entering it in wrong, I copy paste it and it just doesnt work. I entered it multiple times with the - and without it and it just wont work! Someone please help! I was promised a FREE mountain lion upgrade and I really want it for the Airplay feature!
I can provide my Claim number / password if needed.

Since these forums are user to user only, you will have to deal with Apple on this; I'd suggest emailing their MAS support and telling them that you've gotten an incorrect code (copy/paste it in the email). Ask them for a new one or instructions on what to do with it.
Just an added thought: when you launch MAS (from your dock, Launchpad, or Applications folder), on the home / front page, do you see a "Redeem" link under Quick Links on the right side of the page? When you click on that, you should get a second window with a "enter your gift card or download code" section? Or is that the place where you've already tried it?

Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:
iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes had detected an audio configuration problem
Good luck.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

ITunes wont open on Windows Vista. help! i dont want to return my i pod!

I have fully installed iTunes 9, and whenever I try to open it from the shortcut it states exactly : The folder "iTunes" cannot be created or found. and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" Folder.
However I somehow moved my original "Music" folder, and created a new one. Yesterday the first time I downloaded iTunes 64setup, it worked. I was able to view apps and movies and music. However now It when I open ITunes it says the above. I have tried removing it and reinstalling and repairing it. NOTHING WORKS! please help!

Awesomeness!
Search your hard drive for a file containing ITL in it. That is the file extension for the itunes database file. You might need to set Win Explorer options to show NOT hide file extensions.
Once you are sure you know where that file is, press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes. Keep holding the shift key until you see a question about choosing or creating a library. Choose the ITL file you found during your search.
Is this on a Vaio?

Recently updated ITUNES, cannot open it now, Please help

I updated Itunes last night. Now it will not open when I click on it. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled with the same results. Any ideas?

Same problem here - Click to open iTunes and an error box (grey with red X) pops up with the following message:
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
Please help! It's doing my head in! Advice on other threads is to uninstall QuickTime and install the previous one (QuickTime 7). I did this and it has made no difference whatsoever; same error message pops up. An alternative solution is apparently to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall a previous version. I have not yet tried this - if i uninstall iTunes, won't i lose my music?!
Apparently this is a common error with Windows XP and Vista users after an update but it has never happened to me before.
Can anyone help please?

Itunes wont install properly? please help!!

hello,
iTunes is being very difficult atm! reinstalled the iTunes software and the error message comes 'iTunes wont install properly...'.
I have run a diagnostics test and hoping someone can point in the direction of how to fix it! cannot even connect my iphone device to it.
please help!
thanks

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Itunes wont open after reinstalling new version

Any ideas on how I can get itunes to open up after installing new versions of it and quicktime?

hi keymobfan!
I think I have seen your replies on other threads. Thanks for trying to help. Is there any way to get a group answer to these questions instead of each one of us with an individual thread?
fair question. for some problems (like chkdsk) a consolidated thread approach is helpful (although Da Gopha would be the best authority on whether or not that's the case). but in practice (with the launch errors) it's best to treat the different cases individually and in independent threads.
there are several different reasons. here are a few of the main ones.
(1) there are two major classes of "launch failure" problems: ones where you get an error message and ones where you don't. sensible everyday-folks typically use the same language to describe the problems, and often don't provide details which would let you work out which class of problems are in play. So, since the treatments for different error messages differ, and also differ from the treatments for the error-less ones, we usually have to check at least once to work out what's going on.
(2) even if we work out that it's (say) an errorless launch failures, there are (currently) three main causes of errorless launch failures. the treatments for each of those three (not to mention the rarer possibilities) are radically different, and some of them are fairly involved. so we typically need to do some diagnostic work to work out what is going on in each case.
(3) sometimes it takes a while (several posts back and forth) to work out what's going on. and more often than not (in multiperson threads) where people are all saying they have the same problem, there turns out to be different problems in play ... and the diagnosis and treatment work for one person ends up being irrelevant (and occasionally inadvisable) for other people in the thread. and every single one of those "irrelevant" posts generates an email notification to the other people in the thread. so people end up accidentally spamming each other in those big consolidated threads.
(4) even when it is clear that there is more than one different problem going on in a thread, you'll still get people leaping into the thread to say "i've got the same problem!" and nothing more (generating another email notification), and with no clear indication (or no indication whatsoever) as to what problem they might have, or at what stage of the diagnosis/troubleshooting process they might be at. so if we were going to deal with them in that thread, we would have to start the diagnostic procedure (generating more email notifications) ...
(5) typically at this stage of proceedings, people start posting in the big threads saying that they can't follow what is going on, because navigation is difficult (generating a new email notification). there's a tendency also for new posters who aren't familiar with the way the reply controls work (and can't really be blamed for that) to post in inappropriate places in "sub-strands" in the threads, making navigation even more difficult.
(6) if you're one of the "advice providers" unfortunate enough to have a good reputation in the forums, and you're spending a lot of time in a particular huge and unweildy thread trying to fix some problems, and people notice that you're posting a lot in there, they have a tendency to threadjack in there in order to try to get your attention, no matter what problem they may happen to have (generating more email notifications) ...
(7) launch problems evolve over time for us, so the fact that a treatment protocol worked and was appropriate for some people at the beginning of a thread is no guarantee that it will help people posting in later. (the NIS 2005 and Ipod Service Errors are two classic examples of that that i can recall.) so it's helpful to let some possible treatments die, so you're not having to say, "no, you should actually do this nowadays" all the time.
and so on, and so on, and so forth ... i could go on, but i'm just getting depressed even thinking about this at the moment. (which is a bad thing. i don't want to have to change my Zoloft dosage again. the transitional effects compromise my ability to give advice.)
so, do a search on "post new topic" constrained by the alias "b noir" and you'll see (probably) dozens of "start your own thread please" posts in recent weeks. on due consideration, i decided it was the better way to approach these problems.
love, b

Itunes wont update ipod! please help!

For some reason when i plug my ipod into my computer it won't update my ipod! It recognises the ipod and says "do not disconnect" but it wont add any new songs at all. I'm going away tomorrow and i really want all of my newest music to take with me. Its an old but fully working 40gb touchbar. Please help! xx

Maybe you have the iPod set to manual transfer, in which case you need to drag and drop music from iTunes into the iPod.
Check in iPod preferences.
