Quicktime 7.6 breaks itunes encoding (win xp)

Hi
Upgraded to QT player 7.6 and now iTunes encoder stopped working. If I want to transcode anything (even ALAC) to AAC , it gives this error:
"the current encoder settings for bit rate and samplig rate are not valid for this file"
If I change the encoder settings, same thing happens, still gives the error.
I am using iTunes 7.1.1.5 , a bit old but it should work. It did work 10 minutes ago before I upgraded QT player.
Any ideas?
Maybe this should be a bug report
Thanks
Gonzalo

Thanks Kyn Drake
No, they are two separate programs. One calls the other, that´s all. APIs should remain stable
Thanks QTQuirk
Well, I don't want to be a PITA, but now thay you ask...Yes I considered updating itunes a long time ago, but I chose not to. Its getting bigger and bigger with things I don't need since I have an older ipod 5 gen. But that's not what really bothered me... I got really upset when Apple decided that A comes before numbers when sorting. Since when letters come before numbers? I've been using computers since 1983 with the AppleII and now suddenly apple decides to change sorting??? So I decided that I wanted to stick with iTunes 7.1, the last version that sorts correctly.
btw, now it seems that I finally do need to upgrade iTunes ..or downgrade QT..
Cheers, thanks for your replies

Hello, rodneywjr.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

Quality of iTunes encoding vs. LAME

Hi all,
I have ripped a lot of my CDs to Apple Lossless and am now rapidly running out of space.
I have tried re-encoding them to AAC and MP3 at various settings and cannot hear a great deal of difference between them, if any!
I have a Creative Soundworks 730 CD/Radio and use AirTunes to stream music.
I also listen to MP3 CDs in the car (player cannot play AAC files).
So, I want to encode everything using the highest quality MP3 file possible for maximum compatibility and to prevent having to convert between formats and have several copies tracks for various uses. It's an administrative nightmare!
So... how do I get the best MP3 possible? LAME used to be considered the best MP3 encoder, but how does it stand up with recent updates to CoreAudio/Quicktime encoder?
Shall I just encode in iTunes or use an application that uses LAME?
Thanks!
John
PS. Is AAC really that much better than MP3? I have read conflicting things.

Mp3 (320 kbps) is the best, if you still want 100% CD quality, than try WAV or Apple Lossless - they offer the best bitrate upto 1600 kbps. but the file sizes can vary from 40MB for a 4 mins song to 110 MB for a 10 mins song.
MP3 320 KBPS, seems like a wise choice. however it's upto you.
Thanks for your reply. However, I understand all your points already! My question was more to do with whether the latest iTunes MP3 encoder was any worse than LAME, and if it was worth using a Mac app such as iTunes-LAME to encode the tracks.
LAME is far slower, if it offers no real advantage over iTunes encoder, then I won't bother!
And, I'm curious if AAC has any advantage over MP3, particularly at >192kbps bit rates.

Quicktime without that useless iTunes?

How come can't we load QuickTime player without that iTunes, no one who has no iPod want's that, seriously. I don't want to load program that i don't want to install... I just need to see those .mov files! (And I wont install Quicktime alternative, since people talk that it breaks the media player.....)
Does anyone know, If there's a setup package somewhere that does NOT include iTunes??

Error on installing iTunes under Win 8

Error on installing iTunes under Win 8
I have recently upgraded to Win 8. When installing iTunes the following error shows:
"An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32",version"8.0.50727.4053.publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b 9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="amd64". Please refer to Help and Support for more information HRESULT:0x80073715.
I am running the ITunes x64 install. I have installed the V++ redistributable with no change in result.
I have subsequently downloaded and manually installed via the Apple Software update program iTunes. However this does not allow my iPad to be connected as it is not the x64 version.

After spending an entire day on this issue, I figured out something that worked. After installing Windows 8 (64-bit) then Visual Studio 2012 (or 2013) then the latest 64-bit iTunes app, I got the 0x80073715 error.
What finally worked for me was:
1) Get all the Windows updates and hotfixes - especially the ones for Visual Studio.
2) Go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14431 and download the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update"
3) Only install vcredist_x64.exe.
After running these steps, I was able to completely install iTunes on my Windows 8 64-bit instance.
Hope this helps.

Why doesn't itunes 11 (Win) show us the length of podcasts? Only new ones d/l thru it show, and even then not - when I can use an old version (10) and it shows me much more info. Am I missing a setting? Thanks!!!

Cannot see or sort podcasts via itunes 11 (Win) like I could in iTunes 10 .. am I missing something? Same goes for playlists. I often take old-time-radio music and/or shows and need them in date-order to make them work (say, ep 1 is one date, ep 2, etc - among dozens of titles). IS there is a setting or did Apple just get rid of it? I have a laptop with iTunes 10 but have tried to get used to the newer versions on my Mom's PC. I don't want to update until I can use it the same way.
Serial radio must be in order. And I have to at least see that in the display to put it in a playlist. Podcasts that show dates from several years ago in ver. 10 no long show anything like it now. Nor, btw, does length of file play. I use it as an over night "podcast radio" and need it to make sense. aIf I need extra steps outside of iTunes okay. Just wish Apple had made it clear and it hasn't.
Thanks!

Once you do get things working... Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

Trying to install itunes on win 8.1. keep getting error apple application support not found. asks me to uninstall and install itunes. i tried several times and keep getting same error.

trying to install itunes on win 8.1. keep getting error apple application support not found. asks me to uninstall and install itunes. i tried several times and keep getting same error.

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

How to install iTunes on Win XP 64 Pro?

iTunes is not supported on 64-bit XP. But if you search these forums for something like "XP 64", you'll find a number of threads discussing workarounds that have "forced" iTunes on the 64-bit version of XP, albeit with varying levels of success. For starters, try this thread:

Can't drag and drop Quicktime files into Adobe Media Encoder CS6

For some reason I can't drag Quicktime wrapped files into Media Encoder. I get this error message:
"The file [FILE PATH] could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the setting and try again."
I have the latest version of Quicktime installed on my system and the problem files open in QT Player without issue. Has anyone encountered this before or know of a quick fix?
I'm running CS6 on a Windows 7 64 bit system.

What's the path to the file? Is it on an external drive? A network drive? A mapped drive? Can you try copying the file to your desktop and dragging it from there?
It's on an external e-sata drive. No problem accessing the file from within Premiere. Just can't drop it into Encoder. Doesn't work if I drag to desktop and try from there either.
Are you dragging it in from Windows Explorer? If not, then what app are you dragging from?
Yes, from Explorer.
Are you dragging the actual clip or a shortcut to it?
Actual clip.
Have you tried importing via File > Add Source...? [Double-clicking a blank spot in the Queue gets you to the same Open dialog.]
Yep, tried that. No luck. Double clicking and adding didn't work either.
Definitely only seems to be QT files. Have tried H264 files from 7D camera and ProRes files. No luck. Files that are MP4 work fine.

I have a laptop using OSX 10.5.8, iTunes v. 10.6.3 and Quicktime 7.7. iTunes will not open. It says it requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later. I've tried reinstalling each of them. No success. Don't know what to try next.

= 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.
Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979 - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

Ipad frozen with itunes logo. reset did not work. reinstall itunes on win xp did not work

ipad frozen with itunes logo displayed. Tried reset both ways. reinstalled itunes on Win XP all without success. Any hint?
Thanks

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

(Apologies for butting in wiclee.)
The effect is usually caused by trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system. Unfortunately it's a bit trickier to deal with on Windows 7 systems than Vista or XP. (The "Vortical" instructions which can fix it for almost all folks on Vista and XP aren't applicable to Windows 7.)
Try having a look through the following (unfortunately very long) topic. It contains a lot of information on the Windows 7 variants of this, and possible methods for fixing the various Segoe UI-related issues that might be in play:

Visual C++ Errors When trying to update ITunes on Win 8.1

Steve, glad that you solved it yourself, but it might be worth taking on board that the steps you mention have not been sufficient for many people which is why Apple and others like myself have been offering somewhat deeper advice. Perhaps reiterating what has often already been suggested in such threads is not really necessary.
Not that you've asked for a critique of your style, but the first sentence of your post above that you are copying elsewhere is appropriate in this thread where you are replying directly to me, anywhere else it perhaps suggests that others should have been able to do likewise and comes over a tad arrogant, though I'm sure that isn't the intention. I wouldn't include it...
All the best.

I accidently deleted quicktime, and now my iTunes 7 won't open

i was doing trying to do disc defragment
on my computer like i do every month but it said
i didn't have 15% free disc space on C:
so i went to control panel -> add/remove program
and kinda deleted my quicktime thinking it was
java (it said last time used was 6 months ago,
even though it was being used everytime i opened itunes).
so i deleted my quicktime, tried to open iTunes.
a box appears saying i need to redownload iTunes.
so i do that, and ever since then when i try to open
my itunes, an error box pops up and says that it needs to
close down (before it even gets a chance to open up).
i'm just really confused because quicktime already comes
with itunes 7, so i think there's some serious glitch
on my computer.
any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

This is an issue alot are facing rightnow because the quicktime bundled with itunes is more "Up to date" for now than the stand alone is. Even when its removed some of its more updated registery keys are left behind.
GO here and follow ALL steps for removing itunes and quicktime, apple updater and ipod updater EXCEPT DO NOT install itunes til you get to the bottom of the page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
