Problem installing iTunes + QuickTime

So, I uninstalled QuickTime (last week) and then installed QuickTime Alternative, because it's smaller in size and I don't use QuickTime at all. That's probably what's caused my problem, and here it is.
So today I double clicked on the iTunes shortcut and I got a pop-up saying 'iTunes needs QuickTime in order to run. Please uninstall & install iTunes + QuickTime'-or something like that. So I uninstalled iTunes but now I can't install it. It freezes during the installation at 'Copying New Files'. What do I do?

hi RockDad!
let's try enlisting some additional technical help with this one.
let's try getting a installer log to someone who can interpret installer logs.
Start menu -> Run... In the text field of the dialog that comes up, type in "cmd" and hit return.
In the command prompt dialog that comes up, find the iTunes installer on your desktop and drag it to this window. Then on the same line type in a space and then the following:
/Verbose"c:\log.txt" /V"ENABLE_QTLOGGING=TRUE"
There is no space between the e in Verbose and the double quote ("). There is no space between the V"Enable...
Hit return.
The installer will create two log files:
C:\log.txt and C:\qt.log
Find those files and send them to this email address Put the URL to this discussion thread into the email, so that the person who gets it has some context. Let them know the version of itunes you’re trying to install, too … in general, give as much info as you can.
love, b

  • Problem installing itunes, quicktime or anything else. Stuck at "Publishing Product Information" then error. Please help!

    Dear apple community, I'm having trouble installing ANY apple programs, i.e. Quicktime, iTunes, Application support etc. The installer gets stuck at "Publishing Product information" and eventually gives me an error information. Please help! I desparately need to install quicktime atleast! I tried installing an old version but it says "install apple application support" or something along that matter. When I unrar'd itunes installer and tried installing just the application support, but that too got stuck at "Publishing Product information". This is making life very hard for me. Any help would be awesome!!

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • Problem installing iTunes + Quicktime 7.4.1

    Today when I opened my iTunes application it informed me that a new version was available. I went through the normal update process to install version 7.4.1. After completing the install process I was not able to load iTunes and received the following message when trying to open the application:
    "The iTunes library .itl file cannot be found or created. The default location of this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "my Music" folder."
    I ran the iTunesSetup file to repair the application without success. I then uninstalled ITunes and QuickTime and reinstalled version 7.4.1 using the same file. This also did not fix the problem; I still am receiving this same error message.
    What should I do to correct this problem?????

    Hi there,
    I also have this exact problemt 'Today when I opened my iTunes application it informed me that a new version was available. I went through the normal update process to install version 7.4.1. After completing the install process I was not able to load iTunes and received the following message when trying to open the application:

    I was hoping that someone may have found a solution and posted it by now, I have been trying everything I can think of and still no luck.
    Has anything worked for anyone?
    I really don't want to reset my computer again, I only just finished doing this before this happened.

  • *Problems uninstalling itunes/quicktime after using windows install cleanup

    I was having problems installing itunes/quicktime 7.6. Everytime I tried to install it it would say that it does not have a valid digital signiture. So one of the suggestions I saw on this forum was to install windows install cleanup and use it on itunes and quicktime. So I did but all it did is mess up my old itunes/quicktime. Now when I go to try and uninstall itunes and quicktime from the add and remove programs in the control pannel it does not even show itunes or quicktime in my program list. Any suggestions??

    Ok, Update. I was able to remove itunes and quicktime manually after going into my windows task manager and to the processes tab and ended all processes involving itunes, apple, or quicktime. So now when I install itunes/quicktimes via apples site when it gets to the end it just disapears and nothing happens. I searched to see if it installed anything and it didn't, didn't even give me any reasons why. Can anyone help me with this?? It would help me a ton!

    i have a problem installing itunes (10.7)....it says that i've installed itunes successfully but when I click on the shortcut, a popup box states that "Itunes have stopped working and asks me to either search via windows for solution or close program"

    Yes, you should be on Quicktime version 7.7. by now. Have you ever used Software Update?

  • Fix for VBScript Error When Installing iTunes/Quicktime on Vista

    With GREAT THANKS to http://www.keathmilligan.net. I was able to fix this problem by performing the following steps:
    The iTunes/QuickTime installer will fail with a "VBScript not installed" error on some installations of Vista. I'm not sure exactly what leads to this situation as it does not seem to affect all Vista users, but there is a relatively simple fix:
    Click Start, All Programs, Accessories then RIGHT click on Command Prompt and select "Run as Administrator"
    change directory to your windows\system32 directory
    enter the following command:
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll
    This will re-register VBScript and allow the iTunes installer to run.
    After almost pulling my hair out for a month, this worked like a charm and I was able to install iTunes/quicktime with the latest version and get to hear my music again after a month of trying everything. THANKS KEATH

    Issue was very happily resolved with great thanks to Keath http://www.keathmilligan.net/node/139

  • Problems installing itunes 11

    Whenever I try to install iTunes 11 it comes up 'the installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Error occured during installation. Your system has not been modified. Please run installer again etc' I've been having problems with trying to sync my ipod touch to itunes. I decided to completely delete my iTunes and re-install but this is the message thats came up.

    I had problems installing iTunes and the solution that worked for me was to use winrar (or other extracting program) to extract the files from itunes setup.exe. Once extracted you can go into that folder and individually install which software component you need. I spent a couple hours on the phone with tech support with no success until we tried the above. Now everything works great. This should solve your problem.

  • Problem installing itunes on windows 8 64bit. Installation gets stuck on Status: (blank) literally blank

    Problem installing itunes on windows 8 64bit. Installation gets stuck on Status: (blank) literally blank. I really need to install this since I have only 1 PC and i just bought the new iPhone 6.

    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 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.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Mobile Device Support entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
