QuickTime error -2096  **how to resolve**

If you get this error:
"QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # -2096
Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer."
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 on the Compatibility tab
Deselect the checkbox labeled "Run this program in compatibility mode for."
Click Apply.
Close the Properties window.
In my case nothing was checked in the compatibility mode but I went to the bottom of the tab and clicked on "learn more about compatibity program".
From there I went to COMPATIBILITY WIZARD //TURN OFF COMPATIBILITY in the wizard.

This is incredibly frustrating - this didn't resolve the problem either. Nothing was checked in the compatability mode so I ran the wizard and it still doesn't work. Can someone PLEASE resolve this problem finally and completely. All of the answers seem to work with some and not with others. There must be someone at Apple who can fix this problem!

  • Short dump errors desc--how to resolve

    I would like to know the short dump errors meaning and how to resolve it. i have the following errors
    1. TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILE----
    for this the description for ERROR ANALYSIS is : The internal table "IT_24" could not  be enlarged further. To allow error handling, the table has to be deleted before this log was created.HOW TO CORRECT THE ERROR is : the amount of storage space was  (in bytes) filled at termination time was:
    Roll area..........1708928
    Extended memory (EM).........440057520
    Assigned memory (HEAP).......465813648
    short area.........." "
    Paging area.....33857536
    Maximum address space....." "
    2. DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR----
    HOW TO CORRECT THE ERROR is:
    Database error text......."ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 2 with name "PRS_0" too small"
    Database error code - 1555
    Triggering SQL statement......."FETCH NEXT"
    Internal call code................"[DBDS / NEW DSQL]"               
    Please check the entries in the system log (Trasaction SM21)
    3. TSV_LIN_ALLOC_FAILED----
    this error analysis which also gives HOW TO CORRECT THE ERROR is almost the same like the first error description which i have written like memory space and so on
    i would appreciate if u could clarify these errors and how to resolve it. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    TSV_TNEW_* error are the memory problems in BI, you need to wait untill the system load is reduced...check the TA: SM37 and then repeat the failed steps, it will be successful.
    DBIF_* are database releated errors....oracle backend error, u need to find out where the error has occured in the SQL statement and fix the error.
    Usually these errors will the locks.
    Oracle 8i error message says:
    <u><b>ORA-01555</b></u>
    snapshot too old: rollback segment number string with name "string"
    too small
    Cause: Rollback records needed by a reader for consistent read are overwritten
    by other writers.
    Action: Use larger rollback segments.

  • My itunes will not open on my computer! I've uninstalled/re-installed my intunes 10.4 and quicktime countless of times, and nothing is working. Everytime I try to open my itunes it says "Quicktime error 2096", then tells me to reinstall itunes. Help?!...

    Title pretty much sums it up. I'm getting very frustrated. I've tried turning off the compatability of my Quicktime, and nothing is changed. Can anyone figure out the problem? I can't find an answer anywhere.

    Yea i got that same message to Quicktime failed to initialize (error-2096) Quicktime is required to run itunes.Please reinstall itunes, which i did so many times which did'nt work and so i started reading some of the articles on this site. there was one article i read which says right click on quicktimeplayer and click on properties then click compatibilty tab and deselect checkbox or boxes but i only deseleted one box which reads windows vista .windows 2000 or 95 or whatever so i did that opened up itunes again and still i got the same error message then i started thinkin i wonder if i should do the same thing on the itunes player click on properties, click compatibilty tab then deselect box so i did. Open up itunes hey hey presto it open up alrighty only problem i lost all my music but lucklie at backed them up on another hardrive, on my ipod & Cds...Hopefully this will help you out or anyone else...

  • I tunes wont launch - quicktime error -2096

    I am using XP sp2. Have de-installed itunes and quicktime and gone for a clean new download and install of both. But I still get this error when opening itunes - Quicktime failed to initialise (error -2096) etc.
    This is v. frustrating - any suggestions?

    You need to check that compatability mode is not on for Quicktime:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305212
    None of the checkboxes should be checked on the compatability tab.
    It is also advisable to check the same thing for iTunes.exe in Program Files\iTunes.

  • Quicktime error 2096?

    I'm trying to download itunes 7.5 for my son's new nano 4g, 3rd generation. the download seems successful but when I click when I try to open it it says Quicktime failed to initialize: error 2096. I redownloaded both itunes and quicktime and restarted Quicktime will open but not itunes. Anybody have an idea?

    Well, I think the problem has been cured!!!
    Some further and deeper searching into this forum highlighted among the many pages a one line entry from:
    'idiot rying to help' to whom I find my self deeply indebted.... and such a simple answer!
    See this thread and the entry is towards the bottom of the page:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3377407
    If anyone comes across the same problem as I have described, simply go to the QuickTime Properties and change it to run in Windows 2000 and not Windows XP.
    I hope Apple (or MS) will take notice of this and perhaps look at a fix - it is so straighforward!
    Sincere thanks to 'idiot trying to help'!!!

  • Rectify the error message-How to resolve

    Hi.
    I am new to the Mac OS.
    I'm facing the problem that I'm not sure how to solve this error message.
    When I tried to compress the PDF (from print section) and there is an error message displayed....
    Automator could not convert the input data to the desired type.
    I really appreciate if you could help me to solve.
    Thank you

    Questions concerning Automator and Applescript and such are better posted to the OS X Technologies list.
    It would also help if you included the Automator script (screen shot of the actions will do) and a description of what you are trying to do and what you have done.
    I;ll try to get a host to move this post over.

  • Installing iTunes error message: how to resolve?

    I have been running iTunes & Quicktime (QT) successfully (unknown versions) until trying to upgrade to iTunes v8.0.2 today. I have confirmed that QT 7.2 Player has installed and is running OK, but no version of iTunes will now install despite following all the uninstall/reinstall procedures posted here and by Apple.
    The iTunes installation is wound back after the following error message appears when writing the system registry values: 'Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.m4a\OpenWith List'. I have administrator rights to Windows and can edit the key but don't know what value to modify.
    Could someone please help?

    Are you using the same account as you used when you first installed iTunes?
    If you have another admin account, it might be worth trying that.
    These odd registry permission problems can sometimes be fixed by repairing the registry permissions using the method in this article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx
    If you decide to have a go with it, the tool takes quite a long time to run so be patient with it.
    This sort of problem used to crop up quite a lot and the method was very useful then, but the problem seems to have become less common lately.

  • Final Cut Pro X, Export to Youtube fail says, QuickTime Error: -50

    Im having trouble with Final Cut Pro X every time I try to export my project to Youtube a quarter way through processing it stops and says QuickTime Error: -50  How do I fix this?

    I'm going to guess that you have a problematic clip(s) that FCP isn't happy with. Is your project all from the same source (camera, download, rip, etc
    Also, how long is your project? There was a recent post where I was convinced that he had a corrupted clip and it turned out simply that the file size was too big.
    But your error code indicates clip trouble.

  • I installed itunes and quick time  but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096)"

    I installed itunes and quick time  but when I try to open itunes I get a message that reads "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2096).  I have removed both itunes and quicktime from my computer and re-installed them and I still get the same message.  What do I do to get itunes to work?

    That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

    When I try to open iTunes, I receive:  "QuickTime failed to initialize (error - 2096).  It also tells me to unistall iTunes and then install iTunes again.  If I uninstall iTunes, will I lose all my songs and videos?

    Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software

    Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.

    download iTunes again from Apple.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
    Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
    Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
    You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.

  • After iTunes 7.6 update:  QuickTime failed to initialize (error -2096

    "QuickTime failed to initialize (error -2096).
    QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes."
    After upgrading to iTunes 7.6 this morning, I get this error when trying to run iTunes or Quicktime. I was using the Apple Updater. I got no errors when running the installer.
    I downloaded the 7.6 setup file and attempted to repair the install. I still receive the same error.
    There is an article indicating that turning off Compatibility mode would resolve this issue, but Compatibility mode is not turned on for iTues or QuickTime.
    The same issue is discussed in the Quicktime forum, here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6400305
    I am running on Windows 2003.
    Note I had iTunes open earlier today, and it was working fine. It was only when I upgraded to 7.6 (I think I was at 7.4 before. It was definetly 7.something).

    Thanks for this discussion and I hope Apple fixes this soon. It took me forever but installing QT 7.2 and installing the less recent itunes update from filehippo finally resolved it for me. Of course the reason it took me forever was that every time I reinstalled itunes, I was using the default setting that was updating QT & Apple also (in hindsight it sounds really dumb, but no one had mentioned that).
    This is the first itunes update that has ever gone wrong for me - I've used itunes for 5 yrs (my 1st ipod was a 2nd gen touch wheel). I wonder if some MS developers went to work at Apple to exact revenge...?
