Quick Time Instalation

I am trying to install iTunes and Quicktime to use my iPod on my computer with. When the CD gets up to installing Quicktime, it can't do it, and comes up with Error 3. We are using Windows XP Home, and have Service Pack 2 installed. Why is it doing this, and is there any way we can fix this without playing in the registry?

hi Marty!
When the CD gets up to installing Quicktime, it can't do it, and comes up with Error 3.
the -3 says that something is going wrong with the QT part of the install, but it doesn't precisely specify what is going on. so first we'll try a standalone QT 7.1 install (which should at least give us more information about the nature of the problem).
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly?
if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
love, b

  • My iTunes won't go on- won't recognize Quick Time installed, either!

    For the past few days, every time I try to open iTunes, a box pops up, saying "Quick Time version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quick Time version 7.0.3 or later. Please re-install iTunes". My current iTunes is 6.0.2.23, and I've uninstaller and reinstalled iTunes and Quick Time 7.0.4 several times. HELP!!

    I don't know what an OS is, my computer is an IBM Thinkpad laptop with Windows XP.
    OS = Operating System = Windows XP. Would assume the error is generated at the disk operating system level. You would have to look that one up to see exactly what (or more likely what in general) it refers to.

  • Problems uninstalling/installing Quick Time

    I am having problems both uninstalling and installing Quick Time. When I go to uninstall it from the control panel, windows installer starts up and then another pop-up tells me I have the latest version of Quick Time installed. I went and manually deleted all the Quick Time files I could find, downloaded the current version and tried to install it. I get the same response that I have the latest version although all files are gone, plus it is still showing in the Programs and Features in the control panel. By the way my OS is Vista. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click Computer.
    2. In 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 install. Does it go through any better this time?

  • Quick time can't instal.

    Hello,
    I have a problem with installing the latest quick time. Gives me an error that is already installed the latest version of the program. The problem is that I do not have any quick time instaled because im manually uninstalled it before having trouble with his location after changing drive letters. I tried to remove all the registry keys associated with apple quick time and unfortunately it did not help. Next the installer screams that I have installed the latest versions of the program.
    Polish version of text.
    Witam,
    Mam problem z zainstalowaniem najnowszego quick time. Wyskakuje mi błąd, że jest już zainstalowana najnowsza wersja programu. Problem jest taki, że nie mam żadnego quick time zainstalowanego, ponieważ go odinstalowałem ręcznie wcześniej mając problemy z jego lokalizacją po zmianie literki dysku. Spróbowałem usunąć wszystkie klucze w rejestrze związane z quick time i apple niestety to nic nie pomogło. Dalej instalator krzyczy, że mam zainstalowana najnowszą wersje programu.

  • Can't update Quick Time so can't install latest iTunes

    I am truing to download and install the latest version of iTunes but my WIndows 7 PC is saying that it can't uninstall an older version of Quick Time player. It cant find Quick Tme.msi. Can anyone help me please?

    Hi "whatheck" and thanks for your reply.
    Unfortunately it doesn't help me much. I am trying to use the control pannel route to uninstall Quick Time but it says it can't find the .msi file so it cannot uninstall Quick Time.
    When I try and run quick time it says it cannot find the .msi file so it won't run. When I try and install Quick Time either as an independant install of as part of an iTunes install it says I have an older version of Quick Time installed which it cannot find / over write.
    I'm stuck ....... now what?
    Thanks

  • How do I fix a problem with Apple Quick Time?

    I had Apple Quick Time installed but uninstalled it by accident. From looking at my profile in Mozilla, I seem to have 7 versions of Quick Time all with the same version number.
    Should I uninstall all of the versions and start over?
    I am currently unable to view any videos using Mozilla. When I use another browser, Quick Time runs fine.

  • Why is my Mac not using Quick Time when I want to start some Apple tutorials?

    I got a new MacBook Pro this April. When I want to run some applications that use Quick Time, it suggests that I should download Quick Time. When it takes me to the appropriate window, it tells me I already have Quick Time installed with the OS. Why is it doing this?

    Hello fmomade,
    Some older video and software still requires an older version of QuickTime (version 7) that isn't included with Mountain Lion. It can, however, be downloaded and installed here.
    Installing QuickTime Player 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3678
    A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.
    To install QuickTime Player 7 on OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion
    Download QuickTime Player 7 from here.
    Double-click "QuickTimePlayer7.6.6_SnowLeopard". Note: This download is compatible with Mac OS X v10.6 or later.
    QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.

  • 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

    Hi Tamekia,
    I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.

  • After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete."  What can I do?

    After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  I receive the following error message:
    You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.  So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
    Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it.  Now I reinstall it and  the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7.  SMH....Now what.?

  • I installed itunes and quick time  but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096)"

    I installed itunes and quick time  but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096).  I have removed both itunes and quicktime from my computer and re-installed them and I still get the same message.  What do I do to get itunes to work?

    That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):
