Please Help Install Quicktime adn iTunes

I recently received a video iPod but am having trouble installing new software onto computer because of issue with Quicktime. Already have iTunes but have uninstalled and reinstalled, have installed standalone Quicktime 7 from apple site several times. But the same error message keeps coming up - that I have 6.5.? version of QT and that I need 7.0.3. It is driving me mad, what should I do?

The issue is with the permissions in the registry key that is indicated in the error message. Go to Start, Run and type in "regedit". You'll see the path that is identified in the error message. Right click on the folder and select permissions. Click on each user identified and select the "full control" box and then hit the apply button. Repeat the process for each user identified in the registry key.
If you still get the error message, you'll need to make sure you have the right group or user names selected. First look at which users are selected in surrounding registries (i.e. non quicktime registries) in order to properly select the users that you need to set the permissions and make a note of which ones are selected. You'll then need to go back to the registry key that's causing the problem, right click and select "permissions". From there, delete all users shown and then hit the "advanced" button. Under the permissions tab, you'll want to select "add". From that menu, select "advanced" again then select "find now". You'll get a list of all users registered on your machine. Select the ones that you noted were set in other registries. Add each one of those and go through the steps to allow "full control". Don't forget to "apply" the setting.
You may get a couple of similar error messages on the install with different registry extensions. If so, repeat the above steps.
Really frustrating that the techies at Apple don't have this one figured out and as a main "FAQ". Spread the word, there is a remedy. I'm really enjoying the new IPod.

Please help -installed update from itunes wiped my phone

I just installed an update on itunes and it must have done some sort of factory reset as it wiped everything including my contacts from my phone. I plugged it in again to see if it could install a back up and I can't find anything. Also, it started 'backing up' the new empty phone and asked me to register it.
Please help anyone- I had a lot of music and expensive aps on there not to mention contacts and diary entries. I never had problems with it before but this is an absolute nightmare.
Many thanks

Am really annoyed now- by the number of people viewing this thread this is clearly a big problem and yet nobody at Apple has bothered to help. I would much rather pick up the phone and speak to someone but can't because it's been 90 days since my purchase.
I have spent a lot of money on music and aps and it looks like Apple don't even care- it's a disgrace. I can now see what all the fuss is about in the media and why people are angry at them as well. I won't be buying any of their products again that's for sure.

Please HELP join these 2 iTunes folders in Windows 7 preserving album artwork & tags (discussion reply requested)

(Discussion Reply Requested ) Please HELP join these 2 iTunes folders in
Windows 7 preserving album artwork & "tags"
I have searched and not found an up to date understandable answer as how
to join 2 working portable same (apple ID) user iTunes folders into one itunes folder
while above all else preserving hand edited Abum Artwork and hand edited tags.
( It was many hours of hand edited added Album Artwork and editing of tags )
Situation is Windows 7 ( 64 bit ) with current iTunes installed ( 2014-03-17 )
The hard drive crashed and the old \iTunes folder and all old contents have been copied and backed up.
The windows 7 64 bit and latest iTunes 64 bit has been re-installed cleanly ( no old music added )
Music from the iTunes cloud was then added/downloaded into iTunes
Now \itunes has 40 gig of music available to play.
Now I want to join the currently installed working \itunes folder ( 40 gig of music )
with the old saved \itunes folder ( 100 gig of music ) into just one \iTunes folder
with preserving the current Album Artwork and editing of "tags" of both folders.
I have seen previous answers that use words like " consolidate " , " export / import ",
" merge " , " apple home sharing " , " use explorer to copy ..." , ect
none of which mentioned if the current Album Artwork
or tags survive unchanged from their current "specially edited" status.
I know their may be the ineviatable "duplicates", but there seems
to be several ways to handle them. ( If you know the best way to
prevent or remove duplicates in this situation with joining two
iTunes folders in Windows please include that information also ).
Please provide an explanation of how to join these 2 iTunes folders
in Windows 7 into one \iTunes folder while preserving Album Artwork and tags.

Mike, thanks for the response. I will try this. I'll have to dig around here too, bc I want to know more about how I can import a windows xml file (while replacing the drive paths) and it creating a seperate itunes library with the pointers on the mac. Essentially, I have 2 libraries and there may not be a way around this with a windows machine and a mac - ive read plenty on Choose library on open, and mac to mac, windows to windows.
I also need to know more about what is getting stored in the album art folders. I believe it seems that when you select all, and copy the image in the artwork get info page its actually embedding these images in the files themselves, but if you paste into the left bottom artwork display pane its just adding where?? If I deleted the contents of this folder what would happen, should I not be copying this content?
If I update the images on the mac and swap out the drive paths and move the external drive back to the windows box, will i lose any updates I did while on the mac?
Good suggestion though, I'll try this out.

Installing Quicktime without iTunes

Is there any way to install Quicktime without iTunes. I have an older laptop and I just don't need iTunes there as it's on my desktop.
There is a link on the Apple site which points to a 20 MB dowload (information below) but the download link still takes me to the "norman" QuickTime and iTunes download page.
Very frustrating - would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,

PLEASE help....itunes won't properly install.........

Everytime I download itunes, it downloads and then says "Items cannot be found. Required fields are missing Reinstall itunes." I reinstall itunes and I get the same thing over and over! Please help, as I just got the iphone and I can't do anything with it.
Thanks
Windows XP

I was having the exact problem. I also tried to reinstall the software and it still didn't work. So I went to the control panel, clicked ADD/Remove. Then the list of items came up, I clicked on change or remove on the left column scrolled down to itunes, clicked change and remove and it brought up a lot of information and one of the options was to update itunes. I clicked on UPDATE and afterwards restarted my computer. When I opened itunes after that, I had no problems. I hope that helps. It also had a number you could call for support.

Please help: Can't download itunes with windows 7 (64 bit). Keeps freezing at 99%

I have tried deleting and re-installing itunes and quicktime but it still won't work. Please help.

Can someone please respond to my request for support? I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783 but it did not work.
I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Can't install Quicktime or Itunes

I'm having a complete difficult time with this.
I've tried to install "iTunes + Quicktime" about 20 times now.
It says Quicktime installation messed up and iTunes can't work without Quicktime and quit.
So I get the stand alone version of Quicktime and try to install that.
I get "The installer encountered errors before the requested operations for QuiicktTime could be completed" Then it tells me to retry.
I've done everything I've read. I've tried Windows Install Clean Up, but iTunes nor Quicktime is in there, the only thing that is "Apple Application Support"
I've deleted all the apple and quicktime registry entries I found, I've deleted anything reffering to either apple or quicktime.
I've reinstalled vbscript.
I'm out of ideas.
I've spent hours googling this now and nothings worked.
The Operating System I'm installing it on is Windows XP.
Someone please help.

Excellent news!
Strange how sometimes the fixit works better than the manual methods, and sometimes the manual methods work better than the fixit. It differs from Microsoft fixit to Microsoft fixit too. (Unfortunately, because these "anomalous 2738s" are pretty rare as install errors go, I don't have a good feel yet for whether or not it's the fixit or the manual method that's more likely to work in iTunes/QuickTime installation contexts.)
Afraid I'm not very good on earbud troubleshooting, but fingers crossed the folks over at the iPod communities might be able to help:

Unable to install Quicktime and itunes

Hi,
I am getting beyond despair and desperate for help on this please (I have spent hours and hours and still no further forward).
I am running XP with service pack 3 installed. Windows updates are up to date.
When iTunes 9 first came out it wanted to update but returned an error: -
"The installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. ITunes requires QuickTime"
I therefore took the advice posted on Apples support site to download and install QuickTime separately.
Attempting the Quicktime installation first, after installing the Apple Application Support and Apple Software Update elements (I can see these in the add/remove programmes utlility) the installation crashes with the error message-
"The installer encountered errors before the required operation for QuickTime could be completed. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again".
I have since followed the advice here: -
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44469
and here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
- this includes all items through to and including the Additional Troubleshooting.
In addition, I have searched for and deleted all the .msi files relating to iTunes, QuickTime etc.
One thing that I could not do is to attempt an install through Safe Mode. Windows would not allow it (even though I was logged on as administrator).
Where do I go from here?
Please help -life's too short to loose 2 days getting Itune to work!

Great catch, Diane!
Following hard drive problem a few months ago, I had reinstalled XP onto a new primary drive, labeled F. A second drive is also installed on the machine, labeled C, which had come from another computer. This also has a copy of XP in it, although it does not boot from this drive. In this case however, the path for the msiexec service was pointing to the old C drive.
Crikey. I've seen documentation on that sort of thing as a possible cause of Invalid Drive installation error messages, but I don't think I've ever seen it reported before "in the flesh" (as it were). I don't think I'd have thought to check on that at all with your error messages.
Glad you got things working, Diane. Many thanks for letting us know about your resolution.

Help installing Quicktime

Could someone please help me with installing Quicktime. Everytime I try to install it I get the error message, "The installer encountered errors before the requested operations for quicktime could be completed. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again."
I can't install iTunes until I install Quicktime.

I'm no expert, but this worked for me.
If you are trying to install on a PC with Windows XP, then download Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and delete all apple programs and be sure to delete Quicktime. Then download and install Quicktime. You can try it first with just deleting Quicktime, but I had to delete all Apple products.
