Quicktime error that won't let me use iTunes

I have used an iPod video 60GB since Dec 2005 with Windows XP Pro. Recently, my Quicktime Pro began to show a failed codec type-thing when I would try to play a .mov. I uninstalled Quicktime Pro and attempted a reinstall but it will not allow me to install anything before version 7.1.3.
I unistalled iTunes, pondering if I could refresh the system and registry, and reinstalled iTunes+Quicktime, but it still will not allow me into iTunes or use Quicktime Pro even after I payed for the key again.
Frustrating. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem, but I can't get past step 1. I can't uninstall the existing Quicktime. It says "fatal error during installation". No matter what I do, I can't get past that step. I try to repair it first, in hopes that I can uninstall it after the repair. But during the repair process, it asks me for the install folder where quicktime.msi can be found, and I can't find it on my system anywhere. It's almost like the uninstall utility has already removed that file in its attempt to uninstall the software, but didn't go all the way. Now, it seems, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Any suggestion?
Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes
requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later.
okay. let's try a slightly different method of
swapping out your QuickTime, involving a few extra
explicit precautions.
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?

    Installed Trend Micro Smart Surfing on new MacBook Pro and now it has caused error that won't let computer boot up.  How do I get it to a point that I can delete program?

    Try booting up in Safe mode (holding down the Shift key while booting). If the software came with an unistaller, use it to remove alll traces of the software - it's nothing that you need and, as you've experienced, can do more actual hard than good (as is the case with most software of this type). When you're booted in Safe Mode, if you can't run an uninstaller, at least check to make sure that there are no Trend Micro items that are set for automatic log in, at least.

  • Error Message - Won't Let Me Use My Memory Chip

    I need help.  I turned off my phone today and when I turned it back on this message came up, "A Media Card has been inserted that contains errors.  To correct the errors please use a disk error-checking utility on a computer."  I previously had songs, ringtones, pictures, etc on the media card and now it won't let me access them.  I hooked it up to my computer hoping it would automatically fix itself but it didn't.  However, when I brought up my media manager it would let me click on my media card as if it were still there and all of the media was still there.  But the same message appears.  I've tried taking out the media card and everything.  PLEASE HELP.

    I had the same problem only when I ran the disk error checking utility, it did seem to scan and fix a huge number of issues, only I still get the same error message and now I cant seem to access my SD card from my phone.  Also, when I hook up my phone to the computer I am able to view most of the pictures but not all of them.  The pictures that I cannot open do not seem to be readable.  They are saved as weird symbols and I cant seem to view them or save them as picture files.  Can I still recover these pictures and how can I resolve this error message??? Please help

  • Unknown error that won't let me log in

    I downloaded Elements 10, opened it, signed in, and now I'm stuck at "Your Account" page that is asking me to update my account to move foward. It wants me to fill out my birthday, URL, and 2 check boxes. I did all of that and it won't let me move forward but says, "Failure. An error occurred, and your changes were not saved." I tried to click cancel to by-pass the update to move on but it logged me out. I have used photoshop before but not on this computer and just uploaded it to my computer it a few weeks ago. What should I do?

    use a different browser or delete your adobe.com cookies and try again.

  • How can I work around 1316 error that won't let me uninstall and then reinstall Elements 12

    Elements 12 stopped working and the shortcut no longer finds the executable file. There does not appear to be a repair function on the installation CD. As a result, I have tried unsuccessfully to uninstall the program using Windows 7 64 bit uninstaller, Iobit Uninstaller, and Revo Pro Uninstaller.  In each instance, I get the error "Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file c:\Windows\Adobe\Installer\Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.msi." As a test,  I ran Iobit Uninstaller 3 as an administrator, but that was not successful either.Each time, the program rolls back when it detects the 1316 error. I can neither install or uninstall Photoshop Elements at this time.
    How can I uninstall the program completely and then reinstall it either from my Elements 12 installation CD or from the same files on my hard drive?

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
    It then asks for an alternate path to find "iTunes.msi"
    with that one, let's try the following procedure.
    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

  • There is an Error that won't let me publish my website on iWeb.

    I finally got a new host for my iWeb site after MobileMe shutting down.  Everything was set up fine and the website was back up and running.  I have since made changes but every time I go to publish using the FTP server a PUBLISH ERROR alert comes up and I cannot publish...I can't even publish to a folder as backup.
    What does this mean and what can I do to fix it?

    A family member is hosting my site and is not familiar at all with iWeb.  this is what he had to say though could be the problem.  I don't know what this means really but does it ring any bells for someone? 
    He wrote:
    The only thing I see is that you are maybe writing to the wrong folder. It looks like iWeb created a www.awakenproductions.org. Instead your files should just go to the main folder ‘/’.  Do you see a setting in iWeb where you can change this? Again, not that familiar with iWeb myself.
    When I asked him what '/' means he wrote this:
    The ‘/’ is what is called the root. I’m guessing iWeb has a setting to tell it what directory to put files in and it just needs to be / for that value.
    Thoughts?!  I'm getting desperate to get the new info published...it's time sensitive.  Thanks!

  • Unknown Error 50 won't let me access iTunes, what's going on?

    Whenever I launch iTunes a box shows up saying "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was refused." and "Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.". My internet connection is working and I can go to the iTunes Store hompage through iTunes, but when it comes to redeeming a giftcard, purchasing a song, viewing my account etc. (pretty much anything I try to do) the error box pops back up again. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

    i have the exact same issue and am wondering that myself

  • Won't let me use iTunes store

    When I want to download a song or redeem a gift card, it says my network connection timed out. But when I check my wireless connection, everything is fine with it. Do you have to have a wired internet connection to download iTunes music?

    Hi There
    You can try restarting your iPod by holding the power and home buttons until the iPod turns itself off and then back on.
    You could also try restarting the wi-fi that your iPod connects to.
    Hope this helps

  • I don't know my security questions and don't know what to do it won't let me use iTunes even though I know my password what do I do?

    I don't know my security questions what do I do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • When I use migration assistant it won't let me use my account name that I'm signed in with.  It requires me to select a different user name and then creates a separate account where my files live.  Why can't I select the user name and account name I have?

    I'm trying to migrate my music and pictures over to my new iMac.  When I use the migration assistant it connects to my PC fine but it won't let me use the account name and username that I have created as the admin.  It requires me to create a new user account - so then I have two separate accounts to log in to which i don't want.  How do I get it to let me use the current account that I have to move my files to?
    Thanks!

    Migration Assistant creates a new account and migrates all the information you have requested to that new account. There is no way around that. However once migrated you can move the data to the account you want to. Here are some instructions for doing so:
    Transferring files from one User Account to another.

  • I need to change my apple email but the only other email I have is my back up one and it won't let me use that
