Lightroom 4 Quicktime Not Installing Correctly

I Install Lightroom4 and it said that I need to install QuickTime which I did (Windows 7 - 64 bit). Quicktime says that it install correctly but everytime I go to open Lightroom I get the error message that I need Quicktime Installed.
When I try to use QuickTime by itself I get the following error message
Error 46: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control.
I have looked and done all of the things on the Apple forum to fix this problem but that does not work.
Since Adobe has set Lightroom to need Quicktime I think they should provide a solution of how to bypass this error or to not depend on a product that does not work.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

I did include a number. I said it gave me the number -3.
no, that's the number you said you were getting when you did the itunes install.
i was asked if you were getting an error message when you tried to uninstall quicktime and what error message numbers you got then.
that's why i quoted this from your post above my question:
but I can't uninstall quicktime either. It starts and then just quits.
do you understand what i'm asking now?
love, b

Quicktime not installing correctly

I recently had to do a system restore on my computer to try and get it up to par again on performance, and when I did my itunes+quicktime stopped working. It told me to re download the installer and reinstall everything. I did that and selected the repair option but when the installation of quicktime gets to the end, it says there was an error message. The number it gave was -3. I tried to uninstall everything so I could start fresh, but I can't uninstall quicktime either. It starts and then just quits. Is there anything anyone can recommend doing that will make my computer forget I ever had quicktime so that I can start fresh with it?

Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

Hi!
So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
Tings I have done:
- Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
- Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
- Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
- Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

ITunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows 7)

It all started when the apple software updater found updates for both itunes and quicktime. Ever since getting that update iTunes has never worked again.
I've googled this problem and tried all solutions. I tried uninstalling everything, rebooting, and re-installing itunes. I've tried repairing .net framework. I've even tried to use the revo uninstaller.
When I attempt to put iTunes back on the computer I get an error message saying something like:
Service apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges.
I'm given an option to either retry, ignore, or abort. I've tried to retry, but the same message with the same options always comes up. I've tried ignoring, but when the install is done I get the same message that iTunes was not installed correctly error 7. Sometimes it will say the iTuneshelper wasn't installed correctly.
WIthout iTunes i can't add new songs to my iPhone and I can't get any future updates either. There must be a fix out there for this. Please help me.

I've found something that may or may not be relevant.
Whenever I run CCleaner after installing iTunes I get the following registry errors:
Missing TypeLib Reference IUserHelper - {19D52A9A-379C-4720-BA00-3D396ECD24D7} HKCR\Interface\{915DA835-02FE-4953-92FA-624BDF5D85AB}

These always come back when I try and 'Repair' iTunes from the control panel.
Ideas anyone?

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Elements Organizer will not install correctly

I recently installed the latest AAM per Adobe's suggestion to solve nother problem of "installer failed to initialize". Now I can run the Elements setup.exe withough the failure. However, when I try to install Elements (either Photoshop or Premiere), all that installs is the editor part. The organizer does not install correctly. In other words, when I open the program and click on organizer, nothing happens. How do I solve this issue? Rather than spend a bunch of time on this, can I manage my video files through Lightroom's catalog?
I'd prefer to get the Elements program running properly as my first option.
Thanks,
Brian

Brianbhood I would also ask that you please limit yourself to one discussion. From your previous posts it is no longer clear what version of Elements you are referring too. In addition there is another thread where you mentioned you were facing difficulties with Photoshop CS6 and Premiere CS6.
In regards to troubleshooting Elements installation issues please see Troubleshoot installation | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements | Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-installation-photoshop-elements- premiere.html.

Itunes was not installed correctly... Error 7...and then some

Downloaded Itunes 9 and now get a message: "Ituneshelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7" I have tried to reinstall and get the same message again. If I try to open Itunes from the desktop icon I get another message: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)
I have taken Itunes off of my computer twice and reinstalled and still get these messages.
I followed the instructions on a similar thread that was posted in May but that didn't help.
What do ya think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's being unusually cryptic for an Error 7.
Usually if the .NET framework is up to snuff, an error 7 indicates trouble with the Apple Application Support installation. But in those cases, usually there's a preceding message about one of the Apple Application Support program files.
On rare occasions (had it happen to me once myself while installing and uninstalling stuff by way of troubleshooting experimentation), the 7 can indicate trouble with one of the other associated programs (like QuickTime, perhaps BonJour). So, perhaps the sensible way forward for us under the circumstances is a complete uninstall and reinstall of all iTunes and related componentry, as per:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
If you get any error messages with any of the uninstalls, deletions or reinstall, let us know what they say.
If, however, the process seems to go through swimmingly, does your iTunes start launching without the 7?

Itunes helper was not installed correctly. Error 7 (windows error 14001) ?

Upgraded to ITUNES 10 and received following error - Itunes helper was not installed correctly. Error 7 (windows error 14001) - have tried uninstalling all APPLE products, restarting etc and installing ITUNES and QUICKTIME separately yaddah yaddah - NO SUCCESS. Losing patience ?

have tried uninstalling all APPLE products,
Doublechecking. Were you using the instructions from the following documents?
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
(Doublechecking, because an error 7 off ituneshelper normally indicates trouble with Apple Application Support. If something else is going on, it's pretty exotic.)

Treloaded. Getting a message "iTunes not installed correctly" Error 7 Windows Error 998. Removed and retried install got same message??????

Trying to install iTunes on my XP machine after the operating system was reloaded. Getting a message "iTunes not installed correctly" Error 7 Windoes Error 998. Removed and retried installgot same message??????

This can sometimes indicate that one of the other itunes-related software components is damaged. (Usually Apple Application Support, but there are other possibilities beyond that.)
Perhaps first try a complete uninstall/reinstall as per the following document:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Does that get you past the 7?

Error message: "the software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly....

2 error messages when opening itunes: "The software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want Itunes to repair this for you?" When clicking yes another message indicates not able to remove services. Another message is: "Service (ipod service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system sources." I've uninstalled all Apple services (itunes, quicktime, apple software update, apple mobiles devices support, bonjour and apple application support and reinstalled itunes/quicktime - no change in error messages. I cannot burn CDs using Itunes. This all seemed to happen when I updated itunes to version 10. I have a Windows 7 64-bit operating system on a Dell Inspiron Zino HD; the Itunes software is also 64 bit.

TS3212 im trying to reinstall but will not allow, due to an error 7, itunes helper not installed correctly,i have tried several times, but will not allow me to install, i have used itunes for years but now cant use it, can you help

i have tried to reinstall itunes because it is saying i cant use my itunes due to an error 7, itunes helper not installed correctly, please reinstall, i have tried several times but still not allowing me to use, ive never had this problem before in all the years i have used itunes, i have gone through all the troubleshooting but still no access, can you help

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

iTunes update 11.1.4 produces an error message R6034 "An applicaton has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly" When that error is acknowledged, a second windows error 1114 "error 7" displays "iTunes was not installed correctly". I also tried to downloadiTunes 11.1.4 at th Apple website and that did not work either-It stalled with an erro message that stated the "mobile service" would not open HELP!

Hi Doug! I was having the same problem but after reading a lot of answers I found the solution. First of all you need unistall ALL THE SOFTWARE OF APPLE from your computer, I mean BONJOUR, QUICKTIME, ITUNES, APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE, APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT and the other one that is from compatibility with apps of apple, after that you must verify if this folders are removed if they don't then remove it:
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files\iTunes\
C:\Program Files\iPod\
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll need to confirm that the following folders have been removed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iPod\
Then if you have ccleaner you can use it to clean all registers left, then reboot and try to install iTunes 11.1.4 again as administrator... That works for me, I hope that helps you too...
