Newer Version of Quicktime that Doesn't Exist?

I'm having issues with Quicktime. I tried downloading iTunes 7. Got that done, rebooted, didn't work. Said I needed quicktime 7.1.3 - so i went to the site to download the new quicktime + iTunes. Did that, it's installed. Quicktime is working, I checked for updates - says there are no updates available. iTunes is STILL telling me it won't run without quicktime 7.1.3 - quicktime is telling me that I already HAVE version 7.1.3.
I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling several times, the same error keeps happening. I would give up if I hadn't already spent so much money on iTunes in the previous versions. Really the only reason I want it is for the easy way to backup my iTunes... that and I no longer have the old version, new version deleted it. headesks Help please?

Try to go through this whole article making sure that you remove all the components and reinstall itunes from the web making sure that you download a new installer.....

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?

Perhaps 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.

I also have another question in this topic : When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?

Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:

When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?
I'm not sure what you mean by this. What "items"? If you are referring to music, videos or movies, you get only one download per purchase, so if you buy the items again, whether from another device or the same one, yes, you will be charged again. Only apps allow redownloading without additional charge.

The installer thinks a newer version of QuickTime exists.

I tried to upgrade to iTunes 7.6, but I couldn't, so I tried installing it manually. I uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime, but when I went to install iTunes I got the following error message. "A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed." I am running Vista. Any help would be great. Just keep in mind that I am not very computer smart.

I now have the exact same issue. I have thoroughly cleaned any trace of Itunes or Quicktime including the Registry and still it thinks there is a version of quicktime on this pc. I was able to find an older Quicktime and Itunes 7.5 and they will install, but I didn't run it before trying to run the 7.6 version install. It continued to say a new version of Quicktime was there but its not. I don't know where they are looking to see if a version exists. They should have a way to force an install to overwrite no matter what is on a PC. Are you listening APPLE??????? Get with the rest of the software world. Guess I should go get a Zune...

I am trying to reinstall iTunes but everytime I try to reinstall it, it is telling me that I can't because I have a newer version of Quicktime installed. The problem is that I cannot uninstall this, please help.

I have just purchased an iPhone 4, but it wasn't connecting to my iTunes, so I took advice and uninstalled iTunes. But when I am trying to reinstall iTunes, it keeps telling me that I cannot because I have a newer version of Quicktime installed. I cannot find this newer version anywhere, and have gotten rid of the Quicktime folder, but it is still refusing to install iTunes.
Please help, I have tried everything.

But when I am trying to reinstall iTunes, it keeps telling me that I cannot because I have a newer version of Quicktime installed.
That's usually caused by damaged QuickTime installation configuration information on the PC.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

ICloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option. I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist

iCloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option. I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist. Anyone know what I can do to fix this or why this is happening.? I had no issue putting in my new Apple ID everywhere else, I could sign out of the old and inactive account and then sign back in using my new and proper one. However, after the update to 7.3 it did a whole welcome to yr iPad and a set up thing and it went to set up iCloud and had my old Apple ID in grey where I can't change or edit it, it wants the password, when I put in the old password, it say yr Apple ID is incorrect but yet it won't let me change it??????? Anyone???

Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore. When chose for secret question brth date seems wrong. Can't reach anyone!!!

Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?

That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

Can't install Quicktime - Error "A newer version of quicktime already..."

Hi, I have a Dell XPS running Windows Xp Media edition. Quicktime files would not play so I downloaded the newest version of Quicktime and an error comes up saying, "A newer version of quicktime is already installed. This installation of Quicktime can not proceed while the newer version is installed." I can't find a newer version on the computer and the application seems absent. Only suplimentary Quicktime files are found. Please help.
Thanks,
Eric
Dell XPS Windows XP

I'm having this exact same problem. I have a Gateway running Windows XP Media Edition.
I can't run quicktime, it says it's not there. I've tried uninstalling using add/remove and it says the uninstall.log file is missing. I tried uninstalling using the QT uninstaller option in its folder, it says the uninstall.log is not there. I tried 'repair' option on the iTunes+QT installer that I downloaded. Still the same issue.
I tried the stand alone QuickTime installer and it tells me "A newer version of quicktime already exists".
I tried deleting the residual quicktime folders from my c:\program files. I tried deleting the residual QT references from my regedit. I downloaded the MS Windows Install Clean Up and looked in there--found 2 more things that could possibly be quicktime related and removed those. I tried again -- same error message.
I'm not sure what else to do. I'd really like to get Quicktime and iTunes working by Christmas so I can sync my shiney new iPod.

Install Itunes, message says newer version of Quicktime is already installe

I have tried every which way to uninstall Itunes and Quicktime. When I try a new install Itunes it stops and says a newer version of quicktime is already installed, then I close out of that window and the next one says that Itunes can not be installed without Quicktime. Help, I have spent most of today on this and i am ready to toss my computer and Ipod!

Thanks beaner!
Okay, we're now going to try uninstalling iTunes and Apple Application Support (if it is still present on the system). Then we'll reinstall iTunes, which should reinstall Apple Application Support as well. We'll also take a few additional explicit precautions along the way.
First, download and save a fresh copy of iTunesSetup.exe (the itunes installer file) to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Quit QuickTime and Safari 4.0.4 if you have them open. (They both use Apple Application Support, and will interfere with the uninstall if they are open.)
Now head into your "Uninstall a program" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support (if it is present).
Next we'll clear away any leftover program files and folders.
In "Computer" open "Local Disk (C:)".
Open the "Program Files" folder.
Right-click on the "iTunes" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Right-click on the "Apple Application Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Empty your recycle bin and restart the PC.
After the PC restarts, don't open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now disable all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the iTunes reinstall by doubleclicking on the iTunesSetup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Did that install seem to go through okay? If so, does your iTunes launch properly this time?

Old Version of QuickTime Link or Incorporate Existing Version?

Greetings, all. I have an old computer with Win ME on it and I started using Firefox not that long ago. It's nice, but it didn't come with all the little doodads preinstalled, like QuickTime. Can someone provide me with a link to an older version of QuickTime that works with ME? I couldn't find it on the site and after looking through five pages of forums (fora?), I didn't find another discussion that was similar. Alternatively, if you can tell me how to incorporate the existing QuickTime (6.5.2) that is already installed for the MSN IE browser into Firefox, that would also be a good solution. Thanks.
p.s. Once when installing QT, it took over my picture-opening process. If there's something I need to do or not do when installing QT to make sure it doesn't do that again, let me know. Thanks.

Greetings, I'm not familiar with Windows ME, or what browsers work with that OS. But it appears QT 5 and 6 will install to ME

ps. when you run the QT installer it usually ask if you want to make it the default media player

How to I get rid of an "Open With..." option that doesn't exist?

I've tried to find out how to remove an element of the "Open With..." options but don't seem to be getting much traction. I have an old application listed in the "Open With..." pull down menu that doesn't exist anymore, but when I select the file, using command-i, to change which application opens the file, it works for that file. I want to change association using the "Change All" button, but when I do that, the "dead" application becomes the default application again and I'm back to square one. Is this fixable? How do I get rid of the useless option? Will I have do do this for each file?

your link gave me a good starting place...
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -R -all -domain local -domain system -domain user
this seemed to do the trick... I would have never have solved this without your suggestion.
thanks.

Can't install Itunes 9.2 "Newer Version of Quicktime"

I got a new itouch last week. Worked fine. Then went to update software to new OS (maybe Apple could have put this on a brand new one instead of older OS?!). Message said i needed Itunes 9.2. Went to update and got error "newer version of quicktime installed" and that i can't update since iTunes needs Quicktime. Tried several approaches, no luck. Deleted Itunes for a fresh start and then this wiped the Itouch clean which i had not at all intended. But, despite this exact same error message. I have been working on this and have used various uninstallers and searched the registry, cleaned temp folders, compressed and defragmented the hard drive. Downloaded Chrome, tried manually installing Itunes using Apple Software update, etc etc etc etc etc. Same message. Do i need to wipe the hard drive? Does anyone from Apple have any idea what to do? All message boards i have seen indicate that they do not.

Today I think firefox automatically installed a new version and after that it said my adobe flash was old so I had to update that. Now I can't open links in a new window.

You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85<br />

Newer version of Quicktime (allegedly) installed

Hi All,
Can anyone give me an idiots guide set of instructions to solve this problem? When I try to re-install my iTunes, I get the message that I have a newer version of Quicktime installed but I have wiped (as well as I can) any trace of quicktime from my laptop. I know this involves downloading msicuu".exe (?) but where to get it from and what to do with it once I have it are beyond me!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction,
Dave

Not sure what instructions you've seen so far, Dave. But here's my standard set of instructions for a quicktime.msi problem nowadays:
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we need to hunt down a copy of the utility.

Installing new version of quicktime

Hi,
I am trying to install a new version of quicktime. when I get to the end , it says that an older version is installed on my computer and can't be removed. contact your technical support group. How do I rectify this?
thanks

QT is without a doubt the most difficult and troublesome software to install on a windows operating system. Your best bet would be a search of the discussions forum, to try and find a solution that may work for your computer.
Anyone that purchases a Apple device should just return it, you should not have to go thru problems getting it to work
