Quicktime 7.1.3 Won't Open or Uninstall

Just downloaded the new Quicktime and now it won't open or uninstall.
Any page I go to that uses QT says "an error occurred inside the plug-in on this page" and then "the plug-in did not initialize properly".
I only downloaded the new version because the sound was static-y on anything I watched with the old version.
Now I'm completely stuck.
Please be gentle with the big sticks, this is my first time.
Compaq Presario Windows XP

A fatal error has occurred.
okay. when folks get that as a "standalone" error message on an attempt at a QT install or uninstall, it's usually best to completely uninstall QuickTime and itunes (if you have it) from the PC and reinstall again from a blank slate.
try the procedure from the following post (it includes instructions on what to do if Add/Remove won't let you uninstall an application.)

I accidentally uninstalled QuickTime, and now iTunes won't open.What do i do?

I was uninstalling some programs on my laptop since it has too much. I uninstalled QuickTime, not knowing it was needed to open iTunes. So, now, I downloaded QuickTime so that i can reinstall it. However, it said that it's "not a valid Win32 application." Before that, I tried to open my iTunes, but it said that it needed to be uninstalled and reinstalled. So, i did just that. I saw an old itunes setup in one of my folders. However, it was an old version, so it won't open. So now, as i'm typing this, i'm downloading the latest itunes in hopes of getting it right. What should i do? Can anyone help me?

You can install it again from mac OS dvd, there's a folder named "optional installs" or "additional installs"with a installer in there, simply pen that installer and select from the list QuickTime and that's all

Just Updated iTunes/Quicktime and it still won't open...

Ok so I have Windows XP and I went to open iTunes a little bit ago and it told me that iTunes couldnt open because I had Quicktime 7.0 and i needed at least 7.1.
So I downloaded a the newer version of iTunes and Quicktime 7.1 or whatever and it still won't open. I shut down and restarted my computer and it is still telling me the same error message. Its trying to tell me delete my iTunes or something and re-download it.
I'm really really afraid that I will lose most of my music library because I havent backed it up recently and I have a lot of purchased music and I really dont know what to do! Someone please help!
Windows XP

ok i just deleted Quicktime and then reinstalled 7.1 and everything works! iTunes and Quicktime both open and work like normal!

Quicktime 7.1.1 won't open after installation

I-tunes and Final Cut Pro won't open either. I just get the spinning wheel of death.
I've deleted and re-installed it twice, repaired permissions and even tried to install an older version of Quicktime to get my system back. Does anyone know what is happening here? I just upgraded the OS to 10.3.9.
Dual 1Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Should you need Quicktime 7, a Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is also available for use with older media or with existing 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 the QuickTime Player 7 from the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD:
Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
Open the Optional Installs folder and double-click "Optional Installs.mpkg".
Select the QuickTime 7 option and click Continue.
QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
Note: If you double-click any media that requires QuickTime Player 7 for playback and it is not already installed, you will be asked if you want to download it from Apple.
Hope this going to solve your problems.

ITunes won't open or uninstall

Yesterday everything was fine. Today iTunes will not open or uninstall. Also, none of my video players will work (Nero or Windows Media player). Help!? I don't know what to do! Thanks

I am also having this problem. Only started tody.
Origially I couldn't open the program as whenever I tried the shortcut or the file it came up with a message that said it had been moved.
So I uninstalled and then re-downloaded the setup files and re-installed.
Now I get the message:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
I cannot uninstall or re-install either, this gives the message:
"The Installer has insufficient priviledges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\Acknowledgements.rtf.
Please help!

QuickTime 6.5.2 won't open media files......

I just downloaded and installed QuickTime 6.5.2 and it will not open media files. Just gives me the old broken film icon with the Apple symbol in it. Anyone got any suggestions? I am running Win98 on a 2 Ghz Athlon based machine. Got half a gig of SDRAM and a fairly good video card. Not a geek, so, I need some suggestions. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Plain Jane, Athlon 32 Windows 98

QuickTime has always maintained backward compatibility and files made in version 3 Pro will still play just fine with version 7.
But times change and, with QuickTime version 7 a new video codec (H.264) was introduced.
This codec is not supported by older versions and most online media has been using it for over a year. So not much of any "new" content will be viewable on a Win 98 machine.
It really is time to consider updating your OS (and maybe your PC, too) if you want to view newer QuickTime content.

Quicktime Player 10.0 won't open mp4 files-Help, ASAP!

Error message: "The document “[x].mp4” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."
YIKES!
I'm just trying to play the danged file in Quicktime. Nothing fancy. The file plays fine on a G5 system running 10.5 8 (with QT 7.x), but I need to make a presentation with the laptop running 10.6. This is the first time that I have tried to play a mp4 file with the Player. It's possible that I have been able to play mp4s previously, using another program (under OS 10.6), but I don't recall. All recent software updates installed.
Hello, Apple?
Thanks

If you did an upgrade install QT7 gets moved to the Utilities folder, and if you had QT7 Pro, you'll still have it and the QT7 player in the Utilities folder will have all your old features.
That said, there's no reason why, if one has both Flip4Mac and Perian, you shouldn't be able to play most anything in QTX. At any rate, my QTX certainly plays mp4 files without any problem. However the largest mp4 I have handy is about 50MBs, so I can't check to see if size is a problem. I don't know why it would be though.

ITunes won't open or uninstall and reinstall

I recently tried to download iTunes 10 but a part of it didn't download right and now when I press iTunes it says, "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." Then when I try to uninstall it says the installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file. And when I just try to download it again from apple.com it doesn't let me download it. I just recently bought an iPod touch and I haven't been able to do anything with it because of iTunes, so any help would be really appreciated.

I am also having this problem. Only started tody.

ITunes won't open after uninstalling FCP 7

I had to reinstall FCP 7 so i used the "uninstall FCS" application that came with it. After doing so i went to check my itunes while it re-installed. I suddenly got a " you are not authorized on this computer" message. And only had an OK as a response. This only came up once and it still confuses me. then itunes crashed and i got the re-open dialogue box. "no biggie" i'll just re-open. then the same message popped up. And now for 24 hours i have had no access to itunes.
at this point it starts to "checking your library" and then after about 3 seconds it stops and crashes. i have tried every fix i've found. But here's the Crash report. please help i think it's a problem with core.

Used pc mover to transfer elements. won't open cant uninstall elements 10

It still works on old machine but I can't do anything with it on the new one. How do I get it onto the new machine?

Well I followed the instructions with the HP supplied PC Mover tool and it did in fact move numerous programs including arcsoft , roxio, turbo tax winzip,several photo editing programs. Microsoft street & trips, Delorme , and they all work fine except Adobe elements I moved as well but when opening it says to uninstall and reinstall. OK fine but I can’t uninstall it. It still works on the old computer and the help says to deactivate it so it can be reinstalled to the new computer. Adobe online says go to help in the application and select deactivate. Every time I select help it takes me back online to the same statement. How do I deactivate so I can reinstall with the original DVD set?

Safari won't open after uninstalling Mackeeper

I restarted my computer in safemode so that I could removed Mackeeper. I moved Mackeeper to the trash and emptied the trash. Now when I try to open Safari, I get a problem report saying that Safari quit unexpectedly. Help, please!!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Doublechecking. Did you just uninstall iTunes, and not the related software and components?
The 7 can be caused by damage to one of the other software components associated with iTunes (most commonly Apple Application Support). If that's what is afoot, a complete uninstall/reinstall may be of some assistance:

QT Reference files from QT 6.5.2 won't open in QT 7.1

My QT Reference files created with Avid Xpress Pro 4.6, which used Quicktime 6.5.2, won't open in QT7.1. This is causing me a lot of headaches trying to compress/encode/etc. my older projects. In order to use the newer program to encode these files, I need QT7 (since these newer programs -- like Sorenson Squeeze 4.3 -- require QT7.) Since QT7 can't open these files, however, I am unable to use Sorenson Squeeze 4.3 to encode these these files.
Is there some "trick" to get my QT 6.5.2 QTRef files to work on a QT7.1 system? I thought that QT7 was supposed to be fully backwards compatible with older QT files, INCLUDING QTRef files.
Thanks for any help with this,
Larry

What error message are you getting on these
"reference" movies when opened with QT 7?
No error message -- the QT screen is just white and the file doesn't play.
Are they (and the source files) on the same drive
that holds the QT Player app?
No. The QT Player is on C, but the QTRef and the sources for the reference file are not (I use dedicated video drives for that.) The drive letters ARE correct, however -- i.e. the sources are where the Ref file knows where to find them. It doesn't appear to be an issue where QT7 can't "find" the source files. It's an issue where it just can't open the file at ALL.
I got a response from Sorenson Media tech support that said that QTRef files from QT6.5.2 were not compatible with QT7.1. Is this really the case? Is there really no way of getting QT6.5.2 ref files to work with QT7.1? It seems rather shocking that QT7 would not be backwards compatible with QT6.5.2 Reference files.
Thanks again,
Larry

Pages 5.1, tried everything, file won't open. Need it to open or my MA is gone

Ok.. so I created a document using Pages like 1 month ago and saved it on iCloud...
Then I started typing... and typing... and typing... (and saving obviously).
Everything was OK until a couple of hours ago - and the I panicked...
The file didn't open... Around 60 pages gone...
Tried everything and the darn thing always says "[NAME] can't be opened"
I have no idea if I created the file using Pages 5 or 5.1... right now I have Pages 5.1 because I'm guessing it auto-updated when it got released.
I took the file off iCloud, I have it now on my Desktop - still won't open.
Created several copies and started messing with the Package Contents - still won't open.
Uploaded it again to iCloud - still won't open.
Took it off iCloud (again), erased all my files from iCloud (using the Systems Preferences) - still won't open.
Sent a copy to my iPad, updated my iPad's Pages, tried to open the file - still won't open.
Uninstalled Pages, re-installed it again - still won't open.
To be honest I really don't mind re-typing the entire thing... therefore, is there anyway that I can (somehow) open the thing or export it to PDF or JPEG or whatever?????... I just don't wanna do the entire analysis from scratch.
Or is anybody there that can help - maybe you can somehow open the file, export it to PDF and email me the PDF...???
// Help :'(
Cheers

Thanks Ricardo
I got the file. It is unopenable in Pages 5.1.
I opened the package and did a bit of research on the Net as to the problems/solutions (basically none) for the .iwa format.
I tried to disassemble and reassemble the package but it still wouldn't open.
1. I take it you are fine with the images which I had no trouble opening.
2. The preview file is just the cover as 3 sizes of .jpg
3. I was able to get into the Document.iwa file inside the Index.zip and recognised snippets of Spanish and numerical bits probably from your tables/charts. If you want to do the same, and might be able to recognise some of it, use TextWrangler or similar Texteditor.
I couldn't find much in the Tables .iwa files or other files.
You didn't by any chance password (encrypt) the document?

ITunes won't open due to Quicktime error

I recently updated iTunes, and iTunes won't open. It says
"Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
Well, I tried redownloading iTunes and just the latest Quicktime, but I keep getting the message.
I tried clearing my temp files but nothing else will work. Do I have to uninstall iTunes completely, and if so, what do I do about my library?

"Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
let's try swapping out your QuickTime again. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My 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.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
