Itunes wont open without quicktime and quicktime wont work or uninstall

I have windows 7 and itunes and windows 7 have been working great for over 5 months but just recently itunes stopped working. i cannot open itunes and i cannot download the most recent version because i says that it needs quicktime. Quicktime is installed on my computer. in fact i can't get quicktime uninstalled. i can download previous versions of itunes and install them but they wont open. i've tried following posted suggestions of uninstalling with the windows uninstall clean up but when i reinstall it still wont work. i've tried the thing were someone said to delete all my temp files except there is one file that won't delete : FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt and i can't stop it to delete it cause i don't know what it is. What the hooch happened and how can i get my itunes back???

I FIXED IT. Ok so I don't know if this will work for everyone but this is what i did. First i made sure I uninstalled all apple thingy's in the control panel uninstall then downloaded the lastest version of itunes install before i installed it i did a search for all quicktime thingy's (i know i'm not all technicall about it) on c:drive and went through and deleted them it gave me a small problem by not showing that they were deleting but i transferred them to the trash bin and deleted it all. then i started the itunes install and let it go (of course giving it wishfull hopefull thoughts) it opened and is working great so far. So before your go through the other stuff if the problem with the new itunes is that the quicktime wont install do this first.

    Please help!

    Whew... never buy an iMac or Laptop from Apple without the 3 year extended AppleCare... well 2 years extended... & I think they should be called on this, they should come with a 5 year Warranty, with more available if you want.
    I think, "hmm... should it take this long?"
    No way, Houston, we haave a problem, not sure what... RAM, Logic Board, etcd.
    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

  • Updates to itunes 10.6.1.7 and quicktime 7.7.1 all the levels in any sound I play on my pc are distorted.

    Since updating to itunes 10.6.1.7 and quicktime 7.7.1 (updated both at the same time so not sure which is causing the issue) all the levels in any sound I play on my pc are distorted. The main track in the sound file will be muffled or really soft such as the main vocals in a song. The secondary tracks (harmonies instrumentals etc) are really loud. I thought it was just iTunes, however EVERYTHING has been affected since this update. Windows media player and games, all with the same issue.
    Any one experienced this and have any feeback on how to fix it?

  • My keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    my keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in. 
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    5
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

    Is the movie still buffering? you may have a slow internet connection. Music files require far less bandwidth than movies.

  • Re: iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music

    I have something really strange going on.
    My iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music. I cannot figure this out. I turned off the "Sync Via Wireless" on all my gadgets, but this continues to happen. This has woken me up in the middle of the night until I got so tired of it I just shut my Mac down.
    Anybody hear of this? Know what to do?

    I had the same problem - and as well as opening by itself iTunes was skipping from track to track like crazy. But then I found a post from a few years ago that fixed this.
    Connect your iPhone to your iMac and uncheck the box that says 'Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected'. Problem solved!
    Hope this works for you.

  • My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

    My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.  This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook.  It doesn't happen when I use a different computer.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here. 

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • Error -3 / Itunes wont open after updated with Quicktime 7

    I have been having problems with my Quicktimes for over a month. I was unale to take my son to his favortie websites. I was able to disable quicktime as a default, but now two things have happend. I can't open up Itunes, and now I can't hear any sound when I go to my son's favorite website. This happened a few days after I disabled it. I removed, and reinstalled Itunes, it wouldn't open, it said that I need to update. I updated it, and it still wont open. WhenI try to internal repair it it tells my error -3. Please help, I am about to lose my mind!
    Thanks in advance

    hi geraldo!
    When I click change/remove in Add/Remove programs to try to uninstall my older QT the Installshield window momentarily flashes followed by no action.
    good lord. a silent failure? that's a little odd.
    ... so let's check on some odd possibilities first.
    check to see if you've got Windows Installer 3.1v2 on your PC. the easiest way to do that is to head to your Add/Remove programs control panel (don't remove anything ... we're just looking), and check to see if "(KB893803)" is showing up next to the entry for Windows Installer. if it is, you're fine. if not, see:
    Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
    ... let's also check on these possibilities (although the KB docs are about installs, they can apply to uninstalls too):
    iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7 for Windows: Installation won't work if Cygwin is running
    QuickTime for Windows: Uninstall QuickTime 3 or 4 before installing QuickTime 7
    iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7: Can't install on a computer with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Japanese)
    if any of those seem to be relevant to your PC, does the QT uninstall go a bit better afterwards?
    love, b

  • My itunes wont open! but my quicktime player works fine! help please

    my itunes wont opena dn ive been told that if my quick time does not open then people have solutions but what should i do if my quicktime opens fine its just my itunes that wont work??
    pleas help me i appreciate it

    hi ho!
    well i did what u suggested and the itunes only stayed there for about 10 seconds...
    hmmm. i don't really like the sound of that. it's consistent with the malware problem (it seems to be a Qoologic variant) that has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failures for a lot of people since late October.
    however, there are at least two other fairly common causes of error-less launch failures (and some rarer ones), so the diagnosis can be a bit tricky. look through the diagnostic procedures and treatment suggestions given in this post here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=349706&messageID=1211446
    if you do get itunes launching using the MSCONFIG technique, let us know the names of the start-up items you you have to disable. (letter-for-letter-capitalisation-for-capitalisation. include the filename extensions of the start-up items.)

    Having read many other questions similar to mine, I have also checked the QuickTime files in my System32 folder and I have the following:
    C:\Windows\System32\quick.ime
    C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime.qtp
    C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime.qts
    C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR.qtx
    Can someone please help me?
    Rob

    You should only have two Quicktime files in your system32 folder.
    Quicktime.qtp should not be there. It's likely that you have installed something such as a codec pack that has installed additional Quicktime components.
    Try dragging Quicktime.qtp out of your system32 folder to your desktop and see if Quicktime works. If it does, try iTunes.
    Were there any Quicktime folders in your system32 folder? If so you don't want those either.

  • Itunes wont open, encountered problem and send error report

    Everytime i try to open windows, it says that itunes has encoutered a problem and needs to close. it has the send error report message too. please someone help

    Meaghan, I already responded to your topic. Plus, it is simply not good to bury your post in other people's topics, and just for the future, if you have a problem without a good answer, don't post what has already been said in a thread. I know, the discussions take a little getting used to, but it is easy to get the hang of it after a couple of visits. You'll get it sooner or later. I know you will.
