Please Help!  I can't get Itunes or Quicktime to install properly

Ok, I'm about fed up. I'm trying to get itunes installed along with quicktime, and everytime it goes through the installation & says everything is ok, but then when I try to run Itunes, it comes up an error. The problem seems to be with quicktime, b/c when I click on the quicktime applet in the control panel, I get "An exception occurs while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
The error I get when I try to pull up Itunes is:
Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry.....yadda yadda...
So then I click on more info, and I get this:
Exception Information
Code: 0xc0000005 Flags: 0x00000000
Record: 0x0000000000000000 Adress 0x0000000000000000
The following files will be included in the error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\NATALI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\5424_appcompat.txt
So anyway, I did a search for solutions in the database & I feel like I've tried all of them...at least all I could find. One said to go to a local settings folder & delete the temp folder, then reinstall. Did that...same thing. So then I saw something where you had to type a dll command in the run line, but that didn't work either. I also installed a microsoft visual basic file that was suggested might help, but it didn't. Actually, downloading that file helped me to get past the install probs, but now I can't pull the program up without an error. Please help! I really would like to put some music on my ipod. Incidentally, I recently reformatted my hd, and that's when the trouble began. I know, you're going to say just reformat, but right now is a very inconvenient time. I need a workable solution. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help. Thanks in advance.
p.s. already tried reinstalling, even hunting down residual files & registry entries with an uninstaller program to get a clean install...didn't work though.

Do you see iTunes.exe running in Task Manager > Processes?
You might try this to find conflicts

  • How can I get itunes to download and install?

    How can I get itunes to download and install?

    You need to install it - just downloading does not necessarily install it. If you double click it, does it open an installer window? Or, can you simply drag it into your Applications folder (if it is not showing in Launchpad)?
    FWIW, your downloads folder is just a temporary "holding" place for your downloads - once you have installed applications or moved other files where they belong, you can empty that folder.
    PS - If this is what you downloaded, it is a disk image (.dmg) which means you need to double click it; you then need to move the icon and install it.
    Out of curiosity: is it working well? I'm curious because it is rather dated software.

  • Help I can't get iTunes to install on my computer

    My husband just bought me my first iPod for our anniversary present. For the life of me now matter what I try with the troubleshooting tips I can't get iTunes + Quicktime to install properly. It will stall at 'Registering iTunes automation server' then pop up with the error 'iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.' I have completely removed iTunes and QuickTime multiple times and tried to install. This still doesn't work. I have tried installing QuickTime 7.2 as mentioned by another post, but it just says I already have a newer version on my computer, even though I thought I had removed the program. Does anyone else have any other recomendations? This is so frustrating. Why doesn't Apple have an 800 number to call for help?!

    +This still doesn't work. I have tried installing QuickTime 7.2 as mentioned by another post, but it just says I already have a newer version on my computer, even though I thought I had removed the program.+
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC. (Run the Utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appear in CleanUp, select the QuickTime entries, and then click “Remove”.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders (Some or all of these may already be gone).
    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.
    Now try another QuickTime 7.2 install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Please help, desperately need to get iTunes back on my computer

    Hello all, I will make this as short as possible.
    I just installed a new, larger and faster HD on my Dell Inspiron 5150. It is the same brand as the other and is working fine. I use backup software and retored my HD to the same condition that it was in before the change. I started iTunes and retrieved my Podcasts and even loaded a CD on it. I was in the process of backing up the HD and I wanted to load the podcasts and CD onto my iPod. It would not connect to iTunes no matter what I did. I stopped the backup and it still would not connect.
    I decided to re-install iTunes, went to the Apple site, downloaded the program and it would not install over the old version. I then deleted the older version using add/remove programs and tried to install. When I click on <<Run>>, I get a flash on the screen of Quicktime and then nothing. I then deleted Quicktime from the HD and the same thing kept happening.
    I came here and saw a post about Norton so I disabled that and again the same. Then I saw a post about installing Quicktime first, same result. I can see <<quicktime>> and a progression bar for only an instant each time. I am rebooting between all these tries by the way.
    Can anyone PLEASE help me to get my iTunes back. I do not have a disc. Can I buy one at Best Buy?? Everything is running fine but it just will not begin the installation.
    If there is a solution on this board already, please point me to it. I need iTunes, I don't think I can function without it?? what could have gone wrong??? Again Please, PLEASE help me out.
    Thanks so much in advance. I will keep searching for answers in the meantime.

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Help i can't get itunes to install on windows 8

    Can anyone help, I have a new DeLL Inspiron 14z and I can't get it to install itunes on windows 8.  I am trying th 64 version.  At first I had en error saying the Windows visual C++ 2005 was suspended and i had to change it, couldn;t do anything, someone recommened uninstalling them and reinstalling, wont let me unistall.  Now error when trying to install itunes simply says the instller has encountered errors,  I've checked out a few online suggestions and tried downloading as a saved file in explorer (i usually use chrome)  that was the same error.  I though if I download to winows 8.1 that might help, my user name is the administrator said i couldn't download as i'm not admin, whch i am, so i set up another user downlad got to 51% after 12 hours so cancelled it.  truth be told i dont know what i'n doing and i hate windows 8!  please help!
    Thank you

    You can try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components (put them in the root of C:\)  then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). AMDS might not install right now, but you may get a more useful error message as to why not, and you might be able to run iTunes even if you can't update your devices at this stage.

  • Help! Can't get iTunes store to open

    Recently switched from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. To switch all of my music and apps over, I had to update my Mac to the OS X 10.6.8. I also updated my iTunes to 11.0.5. When I did this, I was able to transfer all my music, and can still access my iTunes library. Here's the problem, I can't get the iTunes library to open. It shows it loading, but only get's halfway and stops. It has my account along the top, and even the home, music, movies, and podcasts buttons, but they only load halfway as well. It's just a white screen. There is no "unable to access iTunes store" or any sort of pop-up to explain why it won't open... Just a blank screen. My WiFi is working and I've tried multiple networks to make sure that was not the problem. I can also still get onto the store from my phone using my account. I tried to see if logging in with my sister's account would make a difference, but it still did not work. I've tried all of the suggested ways through the iTunes support and haven't found the problem. I'm not sure what the best way would be to fix it. Any suggestions?!

    I have exactly the same problem! Please help, it's driving me crazy!

  • Help! can't get itunes to install on my computer

    I recently got my own computer and installed Windows 7 on it. Now, I'm trying to put my music on it and i need to install itunes. it won't work. I click on the Download iTunes button, and it sends me to the "Thank you for downloading!" page and NOTHING happens.
    please help!
    thank you!

    I'm using internet explorer simply because i couldnt get mozilla firefox to install either. I'm having trouble downloading ANYTHING from apple...
    Ahhhhh ... In that case, let's try this.
    Head into your Internet Options control panel. Click the Security tab, and then select "restricted sites". Click the "Sites" button.
    Is there an entry in there for appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net ? If so, try deleting that.
    Any better luck with downloading an installer using IE after that?
    If there wasn't an entry in restricted sites, try instead heading into "Trusted sites" and adding an entry for appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net . Any better luck after that?

  • Help! Please, help! Can't access iTunes 7 library!

    I loaded my iTunes this morning, and it was comletely blank. Not the iPod, but the iTunes. I had over 600 songs, all from CDs on there, and they're all gone. iTunes says that all my songs are in a different library, but when I do the shift-double click, only one shows up and that's the blank one! Please, help!
    If I hook up the iPod, it warns me that if I continue, it will erase everything on the iPod! It won't let me import CD's either? Please, help - I've only had it for 5 days!

    Nope - that did nothing. Does the iPod have to be connected to do it? Simply "authorizing" does nothing - "i out of 5 machines has been authorized", and its still blank

  • PLEASE help, I can't get the sound on the videos on my iPod to work!

    I converted them and everything because they werent in the proper format, but now when I try to play them on my iPod there's a fine picture but no sound! Somebody please help me!

    Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    Search this forum for recommendations, but beware of spammers trying to sell you their own product.

  • Can't Get iTunes or Quicktime to open up

    Help... I have no idea what's happened, but suddenly my PC won't open up iTunes or Quicktime. When I click on it, it takes about a minute then gives me what looks like a windows error that says "iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close".
    I have removed and re-installed BOTH iTunes and Quicktime, but I keep getting the same message. Any ideas out there what I can do to open up iTunes?

    Same problem here. Both iTunes and Quicktime wont open up anymore. Quicktime started off by saying "buffer underun problem, cannot open executable file." or something similar. So I removed it, and installed the newest version. Now BOTH iTunes and Quicktime say there is a problem with the program and I will be notified if there is a solution.
