    hmmmm.
    doublechecking something before proceeding ... are any boxes ticked in the Compatibility tab for your QuickTime?
    (i've seen that message produced when some of the Display Settings boxes in there are ticked, not just the compatibility mode one.)

  • Quick Time failed to initialize (Error - 2096)

    Can anyone help, Ive just upgraded to this and tried for literally hours and hours and more or less give up, anyone know whats the score with this??? Any help appreciated guys....

    I had the same problem. It took me a while, but I finally fixed the problem. Here is what I did:
    1) Remove old versions of iTunes, QuickTime, and iPod.
    2) Restart computer
    3) Load latest Window operating system. From SP2 to SP3 (Service Package)
    4) Restart
    5) Load iTunes and Quicktime latest version
    6) Open Qicktime
    7) Open iTunes (I got the same error message!)
    8) The problem lies in the shortcut for iTunes. If you open the properties of the iTunes shortcut and the one for Quicktime. You'll notice that the iTunes shortcut is gray out in the Target area in the otherhand the Quicktime shortcut has the entire link to the program in the C:drive. I know it sounds kind of crazy, but this was the problem.
    9) Delete iTunes shortcut
    10) Open Window Explorer and travel to the iTunes.exc file in the C:drive
    11) Create iTunes shortcut in that folder (right click on the file "Create shortcut")
    12) Drag and drop shortcut to desktop
    13) Open iTunes
    Hopefully this will work.
    Good luck

  • When I click on itunes, I get error saying Quick time failed to initialize, no matter how many times I uninstall and start over.  What am I doing wrong?

    My itunes account wouldn't open, so I had to uninstall and re-install.  I've done this 3 times with an error popping up everytime that "Quick time failed to initialize".  The message then suggests I uninstall itunes and reinstall.  If I click on Quicktime, independently, it opens right up with no problem.  What can I do?

    Is your QuickTime working if you try to open it?
    If you get a 2096 error, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875
    Otherwise see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1489
    If your QuickTime works normally let me know.
    The 2096 error has often been associated with compatability mode problems.
    Otherwise try a complete removal of all iTunes related programs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Then download and install the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Check that it works
    Then try installing iTunes.

  • Error Message 3 Quick Time failed to install

    I have tried every way I know possible to download iTunes. I have loaded Quicktime stand alone, I have loaded iTunes to my hard drive and tried to start the install from there and not the internet. I have turned off all firewalls and virus/spyware software. I continue to get Error Message 3, Quick Time failed to install. I am very frustrated with this problem as well as the run around I'm getting from Apple. I can't even update my iPod. I thought my iPod purchase was going to be great. But after the short battery life issue and now the software issue. I am starting to re-think my purchase. Does anyone have a solution to the software problem that works??? Apple even tried to blame the problem on my computer. I see from all the people that have this problem in this forum it is not my computer. Please help if you can...Thanks, M

  • After iTunes 7.6 update:  QuickTime failed to initialize (error -2096

    "QuickTime failed to initialize (error -2096).
    QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes."
    After upgrading to iTunes 7.6 this morning, I get this error when trying to run iTunes or Quicktime. I was using the Apple Updater. I got no errors when running the installer.
    I downloaded the 7.6 setup file and attempted to repair the install. I still receive the same error.
    There is an article indicating that turning off Compatibility mode would resolve this issue, but Compatibility mode is not turned on for iTues or QuickTime.
    The same issue is discussed in the Quicktime forum, here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6400305
    I am running on Windows 2003.
    Note I had iTunes open earlier today, and it was working fine. It was only when I upgraded to 7.6 (I think I was at 7.4 before. It was definetly 7.something).

    Thanks for this discussion and I hope Apple fixes this soon. It took me forever but installing QT 7.2 and installing the less recent itunes update from filehippo finally resolved it for me. Of course the reason it took me forever was that every time I reinstalled itunes, I was using the default setting that was updating QT & Apple also (in hindsight it sounds really dumb, but no one had mentioned that).
    This is the first itunes update that has ever gone wrong for me - I've used itunes for 5 yrs (my 1st ipod was a 2nd gen touch wheel). I wonder if some MS developers went to work at Apple to exact revenge...?
