Quick Time removal

I installed the new version of Itunes to my computer windows 2003. I got the message error for Quick time installation, and after looking in the internet I understood that I have to remove the new quicktime and install the old version. The problem is the quicktime does not show in the removal list of the control panel so I removed it with MS Windows Installer Cleanup. It doesn’t show up in the list anymore but when I try to install the older version I get the message that a newer version is already installed on my computer. I really don’t understand why you’re making a new version without checking with the OS. I would appreciate any help in order to allow me to make Itunes working again with the windows 2003. I use this program just to fill my IPOD otherwise I would never touch an Apple product.

I got a tip to download an uninstaller program and then use it to uninstall quicktime. IT WORKED!!! Here's what I did:
I downloaded the pro uninstaller ($39.99) from http://www.ursoftware.com/.
I uninstalled quicktime, then itunes and then restarted my computer.
I then downloaded quicktime only from itunes.com then downloaded itunes.
I did not lose any of my purchased downloads during this process.
It worked for me, hope it works for you.
Please post if you have success.
My Best,

  • I cannot reinstall I-tunes and QuickTime. I keep getting error " The older version of Quick Time cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."

    Please help!  Im ready to throw my ipod and I-tunes in the trash.  For some reason I was required to reinstall my quicktime......when I did that I came up with all sorts of errors that said I needed to re-install my I-Tunes. I went through all of the steps but when the installation process gets to the Quick Time installation I get the error "The older version of Quick Time cannot be removed....................... " .  I cant get my itunes re-install and I cannot get a newer version of Quick Time either. I went through the whole process of deleting Itunes and Quick Times files........but that didnt work either. I aslo tried the windows clean-up on majorgeek.com but that didnt help at all either........ Please help!

    Walk us through what happened with CleanUp, Michelle. In particular, was there no entry for QuickTime in the list of programs in CleanUp?

  • I have asked iTunes to print a cover and get a Windows failed and it shuts down iTunes.  The iTunes support asks for a serial number.  My previous iTunes won't print CD cover is what started this.  I have removed and reinstalled the iTunes, Quick Time etc

    I have removed and reinstalled iTunes Version 11, Quick Time, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device, Bonjour, and Apple Applications Support.  I received this instruction from "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.  I reinstalled Version 11 and it still will not print the CD covers and shuts down sometimes when I ask it to print.  I hope they will find a way to make it work. 

    Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
    See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.

  • The Older Version of Quick Time Cannot Be Removed

    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. and
    The older version of quick time cannot be removed. Itunes requires quick time
    Have removed old versions of itunes and quicktime. Deleted folders with reference to apple, ipod, quick time, itunes. Removed reference from registry. Created a new administrator for win xp. None of this works
    Downloading the new version is no problem, but installing it stops with the above message

    Downloaded and installed Windows Installer Cleanup Program

    I trying to download itunes on my laptop several times but I keep getting a Quick Time error -2096. How do I remove this error?

    Do you see the problem if you turn off Compatibility Mode for QuickTime?
    Right-click on the QuickTimePlayer application (located in C:\Program Files\QuickTime) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
    In the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab
    Deselect all checkboxes currently selected in the Compatibility tab.
    Click Apply.
    Close the Properties window.
    Check out this Apple document -> Error -2096 message when opening QuickTime for Windows in Compatibility Mode

  • What to do if old version of Quick time does not remove?

    What to do if old version of Quick Time is unable to be removed to receive update?

    What is the version of QuickTime currently installed on the computer? Can you be a little more precise on what you've tryed and any error messages you may be getting? It could be anything from windows administrator permissions, an old windows installer msi file, to a simple setting

  • Unable to remove Quick Time - getting a 'fatal error' message

    Hi
    I have two issues, both related I think to not being able to get onto itunes
    I get an error message on the itunes home page saying it failed to initialize the plug ins and then closes down.
    Also I am unable to remove Quick Time - I get a message saying a fatal error occured and it will not let me continue. I was hoping to remove both itunes which I had previously loaded, and remove Quick Time so that I could start again, although the whole thing is wearing me out

    Managed to remove and reload Quick Time but this has not fixed the problem. still having trouble with Plugins on the Itunes homepage - can't move forward with this totally stuck
    Any help would be appreciated

  • How do I remove Quick Time 7 from my mac?

    I clicked an mp3 file to open and it opened in Quick Time 7 Player. However, when I go to my Applications folder and open the Quick Time Player there, it opens Quick Time X.
    How can I remove Quick Time 7 from my mac?
    I would be most grateful for anyone's assistance with this issue.

    How about that QT that comes with Snow Leopard, is there a real need for two versions of the software to be installed?
    QT is a "structure" integrated into the operating system. Removing it will likely corrupt the whole OS. As to Snow Leopard, there is only one QT "structure" embedded in the system. What you really have is two different player versions (QT X and QT 7) which actually access the same embedded routines. Removing the QT 7 Player would likely not cause any problems, but why bother. Simply leave it in your Utilities folder in case you ever want to use it or upgrade it to QT 7 Pro to access the extra features not accessible via any other Apple multimedia application/utility. You don't ever have to use it if you don't want to do so.

  • I want to remove my Quick Time pro registration data.

    Hi,
    Can you tell me how to un-register my Quick time pro registration key in the box when you double-click the icon "quick time" in the Windows Control Panel?
    Thanks!

    Another way to clear the Pro registration is to delete the com.apple.QuickTime.plist file. You can search for it, but it's probably in the "All Users" folder in Application Data -> Apple Computer -> QuickTime.
    Trash that file and it should clear the Pro registration.

  • Accidentally took off quick time player and Itunes wont open now

    so I have a pentium 3 windows 2000 IBM laptop
    terrible i know
    i was trying to get more memory onto my computer by deleting programs i didnt need and a supposed "computer wiz" told me that i didnt need quick time player to run Itunes.
    so i took it off and now Itunes wont even open. a message pops up saying that i need to reinstall Itunes
    because i have such an old computer (and buying a new one isnt an option right now) the newest version of quick time player isnt compatible with my computer
    i tried downloading an older version of quicktime and that hasnt worked either
    so my fear is that if i unistall and then reinstall Itunes that
    a) i will lose all my music
    and
    b) there wont be a version of Itunes i can download since i have such an old computer
    any ideas or suggests?

    Uninstalling the iTunes program should not affect your music folder however to be sure nothing goes wrong you should backup you music before starting. You might also want to have a look at this page, it refers to XP but you should be able to adapt it to 2000: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components
    You can get the highest version of iTunes that will work with Windows 2000 at this link: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

  • ITunes will not load--says I need new version of Quick Time

    I've used iTunes for a year and downloaded the new software 7.01--it will not run, says I need to install new version of Quick time. I removed all versions of iTunes off my computer and reinstalled iTunes with same result--Need to install new version of Quick Time. I did this and Quick time said--Can't install because a more current version of Quick time is already installed. Catch 22? Is this a do loop of apple frustration or what? Any ideas would be appreciated.
    iTunes used to work great, I'm very disappointed in apple right now.

  • I can't uninstall quick time on Windows XP

    I really messed this whole thing up...I'm trying to run Avid Free DV and it requires an old version of Quick Time so I got the old version and tried to uninstall the version I had but it said that the current QT was on a network that wasn't available to me and it wouldn't let me uninstall it so I got rid of the whole folder (which really messed things up) so now I'm screwed, blued and tatooed (excuse my french) PLEASE SAVE ME!!!

    it said that the current QT was on a network that wasn't available to me and it wouldn't let me uninstall it so I got rid of the whole folder
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Unable to upgrade itunes or Quick Time

    I recently transferred all my data and programs to a new hard drive. Since then I have been unable to run itunes. The message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". When I try to delete itunes so I can reinstall it I get the following two messages:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable
    The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it".
    Any ideas.

    "+unable to delete older version of quick time" "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" "enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Quick Time.msi'".
    With those symptoms, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?
    THIS WORKED FOR MY SYSTEM. I have now reloaded both iTunes and Quick Time. THANKS

  • Some of your Quick time is out of date. You can fix this problem by updatin

    I am running Windows XP SP2 with V 7.1.3 of Quicktime. Every time I lauch QT, I get the error message:
    "Some of your Quick time is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version."
    I have gone onto Apple's web site and got the very latest I can see of QT, and no matter what I keep getting this message. I have 400 PC's in a school district that every time they lauch QT it gets this error. There are 2 tabs "update now" or "cancel". If we select Update now, it doesn't update because we already have the latest. So we just have to do "cancel". Has anyone seen this? Please help.

  • ITunes (as well as Quick Time) doesn't work

    Just bought an iPod (Classic Video 160GB) and tried to install iTunes 7.5 (incl. QuickTime 7.3).
    Installation goes perfectly well. However, when I try to start the programs, the problems begin.
    QuickTime gives me a 'Buffer Overrun' when I try to start the program.
    +Buffer overrun detected!+
    +Program: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe+
    +A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.+
    I tried to uninstall Quicktime but this doesn't work as the (un)installation program does a rollback at the end of the uninstallation not completing the uninstallation (even reversing it if I'm not mistaking). Have tried uninstalling it with Zsoft Uninstaller and Revo Uninstaller without success.
    iTunes on the other hand gives an error as well. It's one of those errors in which Windows asks you if you want to send a report. If I do, the 'Microsoft Solution Website' tells me that I haven't got the latest version of iTunes, not true offcourse.

    What I already tried:
    -Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
    -Deleting all temp-files through disk cleanup as well as manually
    -I have Windows XP, _fully updated_
    -Running multiple anti-virus and anti-spyware programs
    -Ridding my C:\Windows\system32\ directory of any Quicktime files other than QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx (as suggested in the QuickTime-forum)
    -Installing an older version of QuickTime (obviously didn't work because a newer version is already installed.
    -Cleaning my Registry with Abexo Free Registry Cleaner
    For your information, have never used or tried to install iTunes on my laptop before. I have had QuickTime on my laptop in the past but installed the Quick Time Alternative instead (which I uninstalled yesterday, hoping that would solve the problem).
    As I have tried to find a solution to my problems all day now and am not able to find any answers, I hope someone here will point me in the right direction..!! Thank you very much in advance!

    OK you need to uninstall AVI and Ace Mega codec pack and you have already uninstalled Quicktime alternative.
    Once you ahve uninstalled the codec packs
    Download the stand alone Quicktime:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method here (just Quicktime):
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    Or for Vista
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.
