Quicktime 7.02 will not open

I have downloaded Quicktime 7. The system requirements include 10.3.9 or better which I have. I even purchased Quicktime 7 pro. The program will not open. I thought I got a bad download and did it again. Still will not open and now it's messing up Final Cut Pro and all my other Quicktime related software.
I also upgraded from Soundtrack to Soundtrack Pro which requires Quicktime 7 but I'm afaid to install it until I get quicktime 7 working properly.
PLEASE HELP
I keep getting Error Code 1712

I have similar problem.QuickTime logo appears, then fades and questionmark shows up on logo. System shows I have QT 7 installed. I can't understand response you received and do not know where to go for answer.

  • Quicktime and itunes will not open - buffer overrun in quicktime

    I cannot open Itunes. It says it needs quicktime. quicktime will not open. says buffer overrun. reinstalled both itunes and quicktime. both used to run prior to updates. Help.

    Quicktime was working on my Vista computer up until a short time ago. I believe one of the Microsoft updates crippled it. I have looked at several forums and read the other threads on this site and from what others have described I really believe now that Microsoft did this with one of their updates. There are many problems with Vista all due to Microsoft trying to force developers to use only their products. Unfortunately they are squeezing us customers really hard.

  • Quicktime and itunes will not open error message

    I think their is suppose to be two files (QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx) in the systems 32 folder. But there is a quick.ime also in the folder, do I delete it so that my quicktime and itunes work.

    No, quick.ime is not part of Quicktime. Don't delete it.
    If Quicktime will not open, then iTunes can't work.
    Can you give the Quicktime error message in full, and also check in your Windows error logs or Problems & solutions to see if there is more information there.
    You haven't given your Windows version which helps when troubleshooting.

  • Even after redownloading iTunes and Quicktime, iTunes still will not open.

    I was on this board a while ago with the complaint that my iTunes would not open, and I recieved no real help about it. I got replies, but nothing suggested helped at all. I looked over the boards for others with the same problem and found a LOT. Some people responded to their topics with advice, and I tried all of the advice I could find, but nothing would work. So now its a few weeks later and I've uninstalled everything, reinstalled it, and tried to open iTunes again.
    This time, instead of just not showing any signs that I'd clicked any iTunes icons at all, it flashes up for maybe less than a second before closing again.
    Is there any NEW advice? ): This is pretty distressing. I paid for my iPod so that I could use it, not just stare at it on my desk.

    hi Katherine!
    This time, instead of just not showing any signs that I'd clicked any iTunes icons at all, it flashes up for maybe less than a second before closing again.
    yuck. okay, have you seen this post on diagnosing and treating "error-less" itunes launch failures yet?

  • ITunes downloads but will not open.

    I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes with QuickTime but it will not open up on my computer. I had QuickTime before, and that works fine, I can use that program normally. But my iTunes just doesn't open. When I click on it, the hourglass appears for a few seconds then nothing happens. I have tried the suggested problem solvers that are already on the apple site, but they haven't fixed my problem. I was wondering if there is anything else I could do?

    I helped a friend today with his new iPod. He had not updated since I installed version 6. When the installation of QuickTime/iTunes 7 was done, I rebooted the computer. I ran into the same issue as you each time I tried to launch iTunes. The screen would flash once, the hourglass cursor would appear for a few seconds, then nothing. Then I realized I was using an old shortcut from the Windows Start menu. Oops. Once I found the newly installed iTunes application and double-clicked on it, iTunes launched and we were good to go. Created a new iTunes account, redeemed the gift card I gave him, imported some CDs and sync'd the new iPod so he was happy. I went home happy knowing that he is going to be an iTunes addict just like me.

  • Itunes will not open and quicktime will not update

    selecting iTunes results in popup message; 'iTunes requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later...', but QuickTime will not open.
    Control right-click did not help.

    Wow, it looks like your software is very very old.
    The current version of QuickTime is 10.3.  The current version of OS X is 10.9.1.  (Your profile indicates you are running OS X 10.5.8, Leopard.  Leopard was released in 2007.)
    The current version of iTunes, 11.1.4, will not run on Leopard.
    Anyway, it sounds as if all your software needs extensive upgrading.  You may be using a computer that is too old to run current software.

  • Encore Will not open with Quicktime 7.75.80.95 update

    Encore will not open after I installed Quicktime v. 7.75.80.95. After I uninstall QuickTime Encore works, but other programs still need Qt to be able to run properly. What gives?
    Specs:
    Windows 7 64 Sp1
    Adobe CC
    Encore CS6

    I don't recall seeing any other report of this. The usual solution for QT update issues is to roll back.

  • I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

    I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
    Thank You

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

    = New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
    Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications.  One person had re-installed their operating system.  It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize.  Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem.  Do this manually, not with Software Update.

  • Quicktime Will Not Open Caption Files??

    I tried to locate this specific issue in the dicussion forums, but did not find sometihng similar or an answer. My apolgies in advance if I overlooked a similar post.
    I have videos that I have captioned that will not open correctly on other computers (in QT), besides my own. I have added captions as a text track and made adjustments to their positioning on the screen. When others open the QT files from another computer, you can either just see the text track and the movie is a white box, or QT will simply not open the file stating this is not in a format that QT understands.
    I noticed there is additional codecs listed with these problematic files, specifically VP6F, MPEG Layer 3, Text codecs.
    My question what is the best way for me to remove or change the codec so anyone with QT can view? I have a workaround where I place the captioned QT into Screenflow and re-export, which removes the text codec and will work fine on other computers. I just want to see if there is something I can do in QT/QT Pro to avoid this workaround.
    Thank you in advance.

    Your files are MPEG-2 and you need additional software to view them in QuickTime:
    http://apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2
    and a different application than iMovie to convert the audio portion:

  • ...QUICKTIME will not open it's own files....

    ...it states that the files are the "THE MOVIE COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE FILE IS NOT A MOVIE FILE." Prior to a system crash I had before Christmas followed by a data recovery operation and data transferred to a LaCie 1TB external drive...could the filebe damaged? Could there be another way to open the file? The size 472MB is correct but I can't open the movie. There are a couple of other files that also will not open. All QUICKTIME files that are on my main computer and on another external hard drive open fine. Puzzled! All ideas welcomed. Thanks

    ...thanks for replying. I've tried everything imaginable including VLC and nothing seemed to urge these files to open. Fortunately they are not huge elaborate projects and may take less than a day to reconstruct. Some of them were backed up as QUICKTIME clips and again some of those opened and some didn't. Oddly enough I opened some that wouldn't open under the menu "OPEN" or double clicking but when opened from the "AUTOSAVE VAULT", some of them opened! It is not so much the files I'm concerned about as much as the "problem", something I would want to know how to get out of at a later date. thanks

  • QuickTime will not open (Windows 7 64-bit OS)

    I have the latest version of iTunes with QuickTime installed. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with QuickTime several times. iTunes opens fine, but QuickTime will not open. It used to open fine about a month ago, but will not now, I have no idea what changed on my computer to cause this problem. When I try to open it, the Quicktime icon appears at the bottom of the screen in the Windows 7 taskbar, but no window opens on the screen. I have a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. Has anyone seen this before or had any success correcting this problem? Thank you, Josh

    When I try to open it, the Quicktime icon appears at the bottom of the screen in the Windows 7 taskbar, but no window opens on the screen
    That's consistent with a QuickTime display preference gone bad, josh.
    If that's what is afoot, rebuilding the QuickTime preferences can help, although it can be a bit of a trial to track them down on the 64-bit systems.
    Close any of the QuickTime Player buttons that are currently in your taskbar.
    Now we need to change some view settings on the PC. (The preferences are kept in hidden folders.)
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
    Click OK.
    Next we'll navigate to your AppData folder.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your user documents are stored on.
    Open the "Users" folder.
    Open the folder with the name of the Windows User account in which the QuickTime Player isn't displaying properly.
    Open the "AppData" folder.
    Now the hunt for the QuickTime preferences begins.
    Open the "Roaming" folder.
    Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
    Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
    *If there was no QuickTime folder in \Roaming\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly*
    Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
    Go back into the "AppData" folder.
    Open the "Local" folder.
    Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
    Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
    *If there was no QuickTime folder in \Local\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly*
    Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
    Go back into the "AppData" folder.
    Open the "LocalLow" folder.
    Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
    Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
    Any of those measures help with the display problem?

  • Quicktime will not open after upgrading to "Snow"

    Quicktime will not open after upgrading to "Snow". The light underneath the dock icon lights up but the application does not open. Suggestions?

    Actually, wasting bandwidth is a waste of people's resources who offer to help here. You posted and got answers to your post. What you thought of that would be better (for you) was posting it in every corner of AD that might get read would give you a response 30 nanoseconds faster than posting once. So read your answer and enjoy your computer.
    All you need to do is post in the right forum section, and wait for a response. It will come unless nobody has a clue which rarely occurs.

    After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.

    and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

  • Itunes or quicktime will not open

    I just purchased ipod and I downloaded itunes. at first it worked correctly, then it stopped opening and quicktime will not open either. I have tried re-installing numerous times to no avail. All the error message says unknown error send or don't send to MS. I am starting to get frustrated over this. It has taken up so much time. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME????

    Hi Dave. Many thanks for your response. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstalled them and now I can open iTunes. I now have another problem. The music that is on my iPhone that was imported from my iTunes prior to resetting my Mac seems to be unavailable for me to play. It doesn't show up on my iPhone when it's not connected. But when I connect it to my Mac all the songs show up under the music tab of my iPhone but they are all light grey and when I click one an exclamation mark appears next to it. I've tried authorizing my account but that doesn't do anything.
    If you have any idea what the problem could be I would really gratefull.
