PC message - Quicktime not found - unintall iTunes - Advice please
I was trying to update iTunes & Quicktime software & it stalled. Now when I try to open iTunes I get this message...
Quicktime was not found. Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes. Then reinstall iTunes.
Questions:
1. What is the recommended way to uninstall iTunes on a PC?
2. Will I lose my music & apps?!!!
3. To reinstall, when I plug my ipod back into the computer will it prompt me through the process? Any pitfalls to look out for?
Thanks.

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again. -
Quicktime not found message when starting Itunes
I've been using Itunes for a few years now, and recently I noticed a problem. Now every time I try to open Itunes it tells me quicktime was not found, and to reinstall Itunes. I have reinstalled both Itunes and Quicktime several times, and with each attempt I reccieve the same quicktime not found message. If anyone has any idea how to correct this problem, please post your responses. Thank you. Oh, and if it makes any influence whatsoever, I have windows xp

When i download iTunes, it says "QuickTime not found"
i downloaded iTunes but when i try to play it, it says "QuickTime not found" and i go download quicktime itself and when its done it says Quicktime not found again.
When i go to my control panel and try to remove the program it says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." And when i try to delete it, it says the source cannot be found.
I've tried rebooting my computer but it doesnt do anything.
Please help.

Download a fresh copy of iTunes and also the version of QUicktime that does not include iTunes (it is not the defualt option):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Use the following method to remove iTunes and QUicktime etc:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Restart your computer.
Install Quicktime and check to see it works.
If it does, install iTunes. -
I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open. First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe
itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe
no problems with ITunes on Dell Inspiron Windows 7 until yesterday. ITunes version 11.0.2. iphone won't connect stating required software is not installed. uninstall and install 64 bit version of iTunes. I have 64 bit version already. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times already. When re-installing ITunes get error message c:\programdata\34be82c4-e596-4e99-a191-52c6199ebf6\x64\difxinst64.exe. file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. please install or create an association in the Default Programs control panel. iTunes install continues after the difxinst64.exe error message but then get the iphone cannot be used error message again. therefore, I can't sync my iphone with iTunes until I figure this out.
can't win for losing. had iTunes on my windows 7 laptop for 4 years. first time I've ever encountered this.I am a PC Tech and had a customer with this issue. Ran across this post in my search and ended up finding the solution on my own. The problem isn't with the iTunes software but the installer for the GEARAspi drivers. Really the issues is with the file type asssociations in the windows registry. On the system I was working on the HKCR key for .exe should point to the exefile key but pointed to nothing. To fix it create a new txt document and paste the following in (only paste what is in between the [code][/code] tags):
[code]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[/code]
Now change the extension from .txt to .reg. Then right click and select merge. iTunes should now install properly. -
When I click on iTunes it says QuickTime not found
After I got a movie file from a friend (and a player), everytime I tried going on iTunes it would say "QuickTime not found. QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes."
So I uninstalled iTunes and redownloaded the set up and installed iTunes. It's still saying the same thing. What is wrong?It might be worth trying a complete removal of iTunes and Quicktime followed by a phased reinstall.

Getting error message file not found unable to sync to ipod
90 percent of my music from my playlists wont load to my ipod. It has loaded in the past nut now i get message file not found unable to sync. Meanwhile I can play all of this music out of itunes I just cant seem to load it to my ipod. why? all of the songs in the playlists seem to have an "!" next to them in the track list. That is until i play them then it goes away im not sure if these things are related but i think they may be. plaese help
+all of the songs in the playlists seem to have an "!" next to them in the track list. That is until i play them then it goes away im not sure if these things are related but i think they may be.+
Yes, I'm sure they are related. I have no idea how your PC/itunes got into that state. What's happening now, is itunes thinks it doesn't know where the file is on your PC's hard drive, but when you double-click it, it mysteriously finds it.
I suspect after itunes finds it again, it will load to your ipod.
Is this music on an external HD? -
Hello Community, I hope ya'll can help me. I have a Dell Laptop with a 32-bit Operating System, running Windows 8 with Media Center. I Upgraded to Windows 8.1 recently. Some of my Apps I had with Win. 8 were not compatible with 8.1. This next is my problem, When I install iTunes everything downloads fine until I click finish. @ windows pop up, 1 after the other. The 1st one says, " Application Apple Support not found, Uninstall iTunes and try download again. " Then a second window says, " Error 2 ", "The iTunes Application cannot run without the Apple Support ...." What is this "Error 2" and is there a fix for this? I appreciate everyones knowledge in helping me come to a solution. as I aint no hi-tech redneck! Thank you, Bob Bryan
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.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

Error message: 'Codec not found..'
Hi all. This is a new error I've never seen before.
It's stopping me doing anything at all really.
As soon as I start up FCP and click on a sequence I get this message: 'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.'
Then I click on OK and it says 'Error - Out of memory.'
I've heard rumours that it could be the fact I'm using a strange type of JPEG, but it still happens with PNGs.
I've made sure my scratch disks are all going to the right place. I also have 100gb of free space.
The version of FCP I'm using is 6.0.5. I'm using an iMac with OSX 10.4.11 (yes, I know it's old!) and I've downloaded the latest version of Quicktime.
Help, anyone? I have an assignment due in tomorrow.
Many thanks...What formats are your sources and sequence? Have you tried resetting your fcp preferences?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
And here are some other troubleshooting steps
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2591
We're here to help, but unless we approach this in a systematic manner, obvious things can slip thru the cracks. So go thru these things and just let us know if there's anything amiss.
I'm in NYC also, so if you are up against the wall, and feel like bringing your trusty macbook pro by my cutting room, I could probably take a quick look at it and see if there's anything obvious. -

Many thanks...p.s. having looked at other posts, perhaps I am missing some (or all) of the relevant codecs?
In the folder Macintosh HD > Library > Quicktime
there is basically nothing. Do you think this is the problem?
If so, where do I download FCP codecs from?
Many thanks.. -
Hp 5535 will not scan, error message printer not found
I have a HP Envy 5535. I have only been able to scan one time with it. I scanned 22 documents, after running HP Scan Doc 4.4. Each time the HP Scan Doc states that everything is OK, yet as soon as I try to do even a test scan, I get the error message "Printer not found." I have also tried to run this scan with my McAfee virus firewall off, and it still doesn't work. I have also identified it on McAfee as part of my network.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi @prazdancr,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry that you cannot scan with your HP Envy 5535, but I am happy to help!
For further assistance I will need to know:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide. A 'The computer is not responding' Error Message Displays During Scanning.
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a nice day!
