QuickTime asks me to download/install ITunes.

Occasionally, a requester pops up asking me to update my QuickTime installation, and listed there is an update called ITunes. I can Quit this requester without any action, however, I would prefer not to be asked to install ITunes because I currently have no use for it.
Can I switch this off or change/modify the installation so that ITunes is no longer asking to be downloaded/installed?
Also of some concern is that my current installation shows me that my preferences are turned off for Automatic Updates. There is also an extra stray QuickTime shortcut that is on my Desktop. How do I identify the shortcut to remove?
Cheers ...

Well, that didn't solve anything. I wonder if there's a utility from Apple which manages QuickTime/ITunes installation/removal/repair? I think perhaps there is something wrong somewhere, as the registry was corrupted recently, and the technician had to fix it, as it was affecting the ability of ScanDisk to run on reboot.
I'm not sure if uninstalling will fix the problem properly without some sort of scan of the PC to ensure all traces of Apple QuickTime/ITunes have been removed completely.
Anyone know if there's a program from Apple for Windows XP that will remove all traces of QuickTime/ITunes?
Cheers ...

QuickTime version 7.1 is installed, iTunes requires QuickTime version 7.1.3

QuickTime version 7.1 is installed, iTunes requires QuickTime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes.
That's the error message I have gotten for the past 3 days since trying to upgrade itunes. I have the newest quicktime downloaded, have deleted itunes and quicktime and redownloaded it all, and it still won't work. I have NO idea what to do to make this work, but it's driving me crazy. If anyone can help, please give some advice.

You can try to fully remove both iTunes and Quicktime. Then reinstall the software again. The following link will walk you through the removal of both programs. Make sure you complete Step 16 in the article. Good luck.

Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.0

Hey, just installed the newest version of iTunes today off the iTunes site.
Getting the following message:
quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.0.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes.
I have re-downloaded the install file and ran the "repair" option, but no good has come, same error.
Any suggestions?
P.s. It worked fine after the install was first complete, it was after I restarted the PC that it wouldnt work.

I needed to hunt down an instal file for JUST quicktime (not quicktime and iTunes - doesnt work)

Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime 7.0.3...

My error message is: Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime 7.0.3 or higher. Please reinstall iTunes.
This all started when I was trying to upgrade. I have downloaded the new quicktime and when it came to the option of reparing or uninstalling, I chose repair.
I read through other problems, but didn't find this error message.
Can anyone please help me? In a way in which I don't lose my library?

Sorry. Um. Try to completely remove the Quicktime program from the Add/Remove directory via Control Panel. Reboot your computer. From the Apple website Save the Quicktime program to your Desktop (i.e., rather than "run from this location.") Install Quicktime by clicking on the Quicktime install program that should be present on your desktop. When it is done, reboot your computer.

I hope that that is the correct link.

Quicktime 7.1.3 wont install, iTunes wont work.

When ever I start iTunes,first of all it never opens up but a error comes up saying....
"QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires QuickTime Version 7.1.3 or later.
Please Reinstall iTunes"
So I reinstall iTunes, I have done this about 4 times.I have also removed iTunes and reinstalled it completly but it seems like Quicktime is not updating with it. Is there older Quicktime folder that I need to get rid of or something?

I was having the same problem. I followed the post from Colin and the link to 'Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows' and after a full uninstall following all the steps and 'Disable other conflicting software' after doing this and reinstalling it has started working again.
I hope it works for you.

Cannot Remove Quicktime in order to re-install Itunes

I tried to update iTunes several times and am getting errors with Quick Time in particular. My problems started whhen I tried to uninstall Quicktime. I have not been able to remove it completely and now cannot reinstall it properly either so as to update iTunes. Quicktime appears in the Add/Remove section but nothing happens when I click the "remove button" except that the "install shield" flashes up for a nano second. When I try re-loading I tunes, I get the following:
+++++++++
QuickTime installation Failed:
Error Code: -3
OK
Installation Successful.
Setup has completed installing iTunes and Quick Time
Click Finish to exit

When I click on iTunes icon I get: QuickTime Unavailable

QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes.

If you do a Google search you will find uninstall instructions. Google is your friend.

Can't download (install) iTunes to PC-Help!

Have Compaq PC, running Vista,service pack 3, pentium (R) 4 CPU, 2.53 GHZ. 1.00 Gb Ram. Download window shows itunes downloading but stops with 2 seconds and 4 KB still to download, but it never does download. Can someone help please.

Hey there,
Download Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable from Microsoft from [here|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads>
After you have downloaded and run the installer, you should be able to install itunes and other programs. The pack contains 2 documents with the installer. You need to click the download button next to: WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe
See if that helps.

Uninstalled new verison of Quicktime but still can't install itunes???

I tried to install the new Itunes but it says I have the new verison of Quicktime. I uninstalled Quicktime then tried to install Intunes + Quicktime but is still telling me I have new Quicktime? What now??? Now I have no itunes.

but it says I have the new verison of Quicktime. I uninstalled Quicktime then tried to install Intunes + Quicktime but is still telling me I have new Quicktime?
With that one, let's first try this procedure.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove leftover QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
(5) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(6) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly without the QuickTime messages this time?

Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed itunes needs 7.1.3 or later

HI
I keep getting this message when i try to open itunes. all i did was install the newest itunes download and now it wont work at all. Have tried to reinstall as it said but when i do it tells me there is a newer version ive downloaded and wont let me continue. Please help as tearing hair out lol

let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove 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?

I think i deleted itunes completely from my pc and tried to reinstall using remove/restore and have tried repeatedly for a week to download/install itunes to no avail - any tips on how to either retrieve or download new itunes as i have lost my music?

hi - think i deleted itunes from my p.c and have tried repeatedly to reinstall using apple helplines etc. have tried add/remove to no avail - new install/downloads just not taking place - have lost 40 gig music as previous to this my p.c was not recognising my ipod classic - any helpful tips would be appreciated?

I tried to reinstall everything but I get an error because 1) the older version of bonjour cannot be removed and 2) an older version of quicktime cannot be removed which then says that itunes can not be installed without quick time.
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 on June 25. 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 Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
