My itunes wont start due to quicktime

itunes wants me to have quicktime 7.5 and i do but it still wont load...what do i do?

You downloaded and installed?  I ask because somebody earlier today was complaining about Lion not working but it looked like although they had downloaded it they hadn't actually installed it.
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications.  Both should be 7.5 or greater.
Did you repair permissions both before and after installing the update?  Did you verify your hard drive with Disk Utility before repairing permissions before installing?

  • Itunes wont start and i get no error messages

    i just downloaded itunes 7.3 and itunes wont start any ideas how to fix?

    Okay. I'm still wondering about your firewall. A "persistent" iTunes.exe in your processes is most consistent with a firewall blocking iTunes, iTunesHelper and/or QuickTime from accessing the Internet. (Norton Internet Security 2005 is by far the worst offender in this regard, but it can be produced both other firewalls too.)
    Head into the Firewalls settings and make sure that iTunes, iTunesHelper, and QuickTime are all being allowed full access to the internet.
    If iTunes still doesn't launch after making sure the firewall is correctly adjusted, reboot the PC and try the suggestion from the following document. (It's a much rarer issue, but it can also produce that persistent iTunes.exe symptom in conjunction with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure.)

  • ITunes wont start up

    Hi, i had a look on this answer to a topic : itunes wont start :
    +The QuickTime problem is most likely causing the iTunes launch problem. So let's try swapping out your QuickTime again taking a few additional explicit precautions.+
    +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. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)+
    +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".+
    but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
    and i cant get rid of it. Pls help. Any ideas? Thx. J

    but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
    Let's try getting the program uninstalled by other means then.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
    Next, we’ll manually remove 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. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer
    Does the repair install go through properly now? Or do you get another error message when you try the repair install?

  • Itunes wont start, computer says to download latest version 7.5

    iTunes wont start, solution computer gives it to download latest version 7.5. nut when i download it and install 7.5 on my computer, which i have done several times, it doesn't work and says i should download the latest update.....which i already have! is it Vista related, or is relating to version 7.5?....please help me!!

    I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
    "this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" and type in the "all or part of the file name" itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've restarted your computer once (according to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Hopefully that will work to at least get rid of that APP error. Good luck and ask me anything you have some questions!!"
    Hope that works!

    I have just updated iMac as I havn't used it for a while.
    iTunes wont start.
    Any ideas?

    My iMac just came back from the shop with a new logic board. It had been out of commission for a few months so I just did the the general software update.
    Tried clicking from the apps folder but this didnt work either.
    But....
    Got a tip from another online blog and just downloaded itunes from the apple site and reinstalled it. This fixed the problem. Had to do the same with Quiktime as well as it wouldn't open all movie types.
    Thanks for your help

  • Help, iTunes wont start

    I was using iTunes this morning and it was working fine. I get back this afternoon and when I click on the iTunes logo in my dock, it jumps one time, the arrow appears under it, then the arrows go away and the icon stops jumping. That's it, no error message, no nothing. I attempted to rectify the situation by uninstalling iTunes, then re-downloading it from Apple and installing it. I installed it ok, went to open it and it did the same thing. I moved my iTunes Library, thinking there might be something wrong in there, and it still wont start up. This is the first problem I have had of any kind since I've had this Powerbook, it'll be a year this October. Can anyone help?
    Powerbook G4, 15in 1.67 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Try these steps
    But I would start with the standalone quicktime install step within the link below, before you try everything else. Make sure to disable antivirus when installing...

  • 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 open, not a quicktime problem

    i have looked everywhere, tried everything. My quicktime will open but my itunes wont. i click it and my curser stalls like it is about to open but never does. sometimes that white agreement box flashes but goes away without a chance to read or click it. please help! also because i didnt have itunes for so long i got desperate and tried yahoo, but i have a video ipod and somehow yahoo changed the format of my ipod so now i have nothing in movies. and all the shows and movies previously in my ipod are now only sound/song files under artist/album/etc. im hoping once i get itunes back it will straighten everthing out.

    hi k3kristaaa!
    i have looked everywhere, tried everything. My quicktime will open but my itunes wont. i click it and my curser stalls like it is about to open but never does. sometimes that white agreement box flashes but goes away without a chance to read or click it.
    hmmmmmmmm.
    you're actually getting an odd mix of symptoms here for an "error-message-free" itunes launch suppression.
    the "flash" of the license screen is associated with Qoologic adware. but if you had that, your quicktime shouldn't be launching.
    with the Norton Internet Security 2005 launch suppression problems, folks can sometimes get their QT to launch, but that isn't typically associated with the "flash".
    so i'm going to doublecheck a few things before proceeding.
    (1) are you getting an error message or no error messages whatsoever? if you're getting an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    (2) have a look in your TEMP directory. typically to do that you'll need to adjust your view settings on the PC. for instructions, see the "Empty your Temp directory and restart" section in this document:
    Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
    ... do you see a seven character filename with a .tmp extension in there? the first three characters will be letters. the last four will be numbers or the letters A through F.
    (we're checking here for a W32.Pinfi infection, which can produce error-message-free itunes launch failures with an erratic mix of symptoms.)

  • Itunes Wont Start At All No Error Messages Nothing HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My Itunes Wont Work At All No Error Message Comes Up NOTHING ive Uninstalled , Deleted the Files in c Drive and Re Installed it Over and Over Again Quicktime Works Fine But When i Open Quicktime My Itunes is on there :S its very Confusing But i still cant Sync music Onto my Ipod or Buy Any Music Please Help Me!!!!!!!

    Does iTunes.exe persist in the task manager or disappear again quickly. This can be a clue to the cause of the problem.
    If iTunes persists this points to either firewall blocking or a damaged configuration file.
    Try briefly turning off your firewall to see if iTunes will launch. Otherwise the link I will give at the end tells you how to delete the configuration file.
    If iTunes doesn't appear or appears briefly and then disappears this may be a digital signing issue, also dealt with in the link.
    It is a good idea to scan your PC for viruses and spyware, as malware can cause problems.
    Apple article on troubelshooting launch problems:
    XP version
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
    Vista version
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305491
    If the things I suggested above don't wiork, try working through the whole article.
    All this is on the assumption that your Quicktime is working normally. I am a bit worried that you have been installing and uninstalling different versions, it just complicates the issue.

    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.)
