Quicktime Installation not working

When I click on my iTunes shortcut, it says that it cannot open because Quicktime did not initiate. It then says to re-install iTunes. I have tried to reinstall frome the Internet both iTunes and the stand-alone Quicktime, but neither works. So, my question is: If I uninstall iTunes (as part of the re-installing process from the disc), will all of my library be erased? Most of my songs (1200 or so) are merged from other programs and I had to go through and manually fix the details of each file because they merge in strange ways from the other software. So, to avoid that process, I want to keep the library in tact if possible.

Can I delete it and have it reload?

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):

MSI installer not working MSI 5.0 Windows 7

Hello I am trying to get MSI installer to work and when I go to install anything that has the Windows Installer Package it opens Notepad in a scrambled message. I have tried numerous avenues to no avail (regedit,copy paste regedit, troubleshooters, sfc/scannow,
command prompt etc.) I tried to choose the file association of MSIexec in System32 and it just opens this
I have tried what is suggested in this forum
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/f699e632-54ba-443b-85df-269a7fd6cf1a/windows-installer-not-working?forum=w7itprogeneral and regedit says:
I have tried this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso1 and didn't work
I have tried changing C :\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /V in regedit and that didn't work
I have searched event viewer and all that's in there is a warning and information of successful installs and uninstalls.
I have tried %windir%\system32\msi.dll version in Command prompt and it says that the system cannot execute the specified program
I am thinking it is just a matter of finding the correct file association that the windows installer can use to install that program but I am unable to find that!
I did a system restore but the only good restore was from earlier today and it still just opens notepad. before I did the restore I went into services and the computer couldn't find the file (windows installer) so I did a restore and now it at least sees
the file and I can start the service.
Can I please get some help fixing this? would uninstalling MSI and re-installing it work? I have been searching forum after forum and nothing has yet worked.

Hi ingenuities,
Try importing these reg file under Safe mode.
If you really need this work, I am supposing the only way is to try importing them manually, if any value key is using by process, use process monitor to filter out these processes and shut them down.I monitored values under MSI.package seems like no
value was using by system.
I exported msi.package and patch to text, it is from a clean Windows 7 intallation。

Mac Os X lion installation not working.

os x lion installation not working, when the installation bar comes to 99% a pop up widow tells me that the installation has failed and the file could be damaged or something. But i just downloaded it from appstore. Any ideas?

Here's an update on my problem:
Called Apple Support the other day. They basically told me that they can't help, because this is a problem of misconfiguration and that those kinda things weren't covered. Still the person on the line gave me a hint, I should look for leftovers of previously installed software in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and /Library/LaunchAgents/ .
Well, that did the trick. In one of the folders I found "net.shrew.iked.plist". This file obvioulsy belongs to the ShrewSoft VPN client. I removed it and the built-in client works again.
I reinstalled ShrewSoft one more time to see if it works without the mentioned plist-file...needless to say it wouldn't connect anymore, but that's alright with me - for now.

Quicktime X not working

My quicktime has not worked for several months and for a while I just dealt with it and used other software. Now, I really need to be able to use it to play certain footage I have captured. I'm not sure if there are missing codecs or what might be causing the problem. It does not open at all - not even the correct logo is showing up under my apps.
I have Quicktime X, and I can't find it anywhere to download a new version of it.

Still waiting for a response. Someone must know.

Quicktime objects not working on GoLive

I have a GoLive CS2 Student Version. My Quicktime Objects are not working. I tried to drag the track objects to the page or to layer and no avail.
Can you help me? I spent a whole day to finally figure out the Quicktime objects not working.

Thank you for the support John,
To explain what I am doing in more detail: I am basically making an image gallery with thumbnail buttons of each image. When the user enters this page I want to have the automatic slideshow of a few images. Then the user have the option to click on the buttons to see the images. I was able to make a slideshow in GoLive. But the transition is abrupt. According to the GoLive Help Menu there is a way to make the trasnition smoother using the timeline editor, but it is too difficult to follow up for me. So I downloaded another program called SWFn'Slide which was very easy to make the smooth transitional slideshow. Now I am trying to insert the SWF file into my page. But I can't figure out how to do it. In my understanding, I must place a layer on the page and on that layer I must place the SWF track from the Quicktime Objects tab. But I cannot drag any of the Quicktime Objects tools into the page. Again I am having a problem inserting a SWF file into the page.

Quicktime Plugin not working in Browers

Hello,
I am having a frustrating problem with my quicktime plugin not working in BOTH Safari and Firefox. When I try to watch my a quicktime link on the web I cannot view it, I get the quicktime icon with the question mark. However, when I log in as a different user and goto the same link I can view the movie. I believe the movie is a mp4.
I have already deleted my quicktime preferences and also tried to boot up in 32 bit mode.
Any suggestions to what may cause this? This must be something that is specific to my user. I have also removed perian and deleted perian preferences.
Please Help!
Running
Mac OSX
10.7.2

I have scoured the internet looking for a way to play MP3 files right in the browser window and have come up with nothing. Firefox does not let me set MP3 files to play with the QuickTime Plugin but instead I can only have them play in iTunes or QuickTime after a download. Pretty much same with Chrome and Safari. Neither will let me just play the MP3 right in the browser. Please help!

Update to Quicktime Pro not working

Just bought the Quicktime Pro license key from the Apple Store. When I input my name and the key and click "Apply", a label states "QuickTime 7 Pro". However, this information seems not to persist: After closing the registration window and re-opening the same window later, it states "Buy Quicktime Pro...". All the menus still contain the "Pro" label and I am unable to save any movie.
I uninstalled Quicktime and re-installed it with a fresh download from the Apple site. To no avail.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

My user account belongs to the local Administrators group. Nevertheless, I tried to use the function "Run as Administrator" function to make sure, Vista really runs Quicktime with all privileges. Did not work.
For the second time, I uninstalled the software, then I deleted manually the folder C:\program files\ (since QT Uninstall leaves tons of files there - no wonder I can't get past the problem).
I rebooted the system and downloaded the setup files again. Ran the installer "as administrator". Ran Quicktime Pro as Administrator. It still doesn't remember the Pro functions after having unlocked that functionality using the key obtained from Apple.
At this level, I have to give up. I spent two afternoons on this and I need to get things done. It's probably not a QT Pro problem and I might need to restage my computer in the future (I upgraded XP Pro to Vista Ultimate - instead of doing a fresh installation). However, since QT Pro is so far the only software giving me a headache, I am not really feeling the urge to re-install the operating system.
Maybe an upcoming QT release will fix the problem...

Application installer not working with PC Suit App...

I have a Nokia E60 and Windows XP SP2. After installing PC Suite 6.82.96.4 I try to open the App. installer but it opens and closes inmediately (blinks) but do not work. I try to do the installation through the File manager, and I can see and open the Nokia browser, phone memory etc, but whenever I try to install, the following message is shown Nokia Application Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Detail is: Error signature AppName: applicationinstaller.exe AppVer: 6.82.96.4 ModName: unknown ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 90909090 It also shows that there is an error report that I cannot find C:\DOCUME~1\rodrigm3\LOCALS~1\Temp\9e61_appcompat.txt Could you please help me to fix the problem? thanks a lot

Regarding my problem, I attach the log file generated in the error report in case it can help to the Nokia support (or anybody able to help...) It should have to be a PC config problem, as I am totally able to install application with the same version of PC Suite in other colleagues PCs Thanks for your support....

My quicktime does not work at all on my iMac with Lion

When I click the quicktime icon it does not open up at all. Quicktime has never worked since the day I bought the computer which was a few weeks ago. Is there a fix to this problem?

Your warranty includes 90 days of phone support. Call AppleCare.

Why does quicktime does not work on os lio

why quicktime x does not work on OS Lion

QuickTime does work under 10.7, however you may want to check that you're opening the newest copy of it by going to your Applications folder and opening it from there.
If you keep having trouble with opening it, please let us know what error you might be getting. QuickTime X will open with just a menu bar, then you can go to the file menu and choose to open any file you wanted to open, or choose one of the screen or audio recording options.

How do I get a virtual lab to play,quicktime does not work with this CD,I have quicktime on other computers works fine with this CD. Technician said Cd could

How do I get a virtual lab to work on this computer. The technician said the CD is not compatible. Maybe corrupt. He seemed he did not know
what he was talking about. I asked him was it any software I could download he said no. This CD works fine on my other computer, no it is not an apple computer. And I use quicktime on both computers. But on this apple computer quicktime does not play this CD, which this type
of CD works better with quicktime. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem. This is a new computer, I would hate to think their is nothing that can be done.

I need step by step instructions on how to get my virtual lab cd to work. The technician said cd not compatible or is corrupt. I do not believe their is nothing that can be done. When I put the cd in the side slot nothing comes up on the screen. I have tried several ways, the technician did not seem very knowledgeable on what to do. Also this cd plays fine on my other computer which is not an apple computer. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

Music will not play in iTunes store OR library. Quicktime also not working.

I am quite nearly at my wits end trying to figure out the problem I am having: I just started up a brand spanking new Mac Pro today, and aside from other problems, am unable to play songs that I migrated over from my old Power PC G5, which was running the last version of Mac OS 10.5 before it kicked the bucket; I luckily had an external drive running Time Machine backups.
The songs all show up, I checked my Library, checked permissions, ran my disk utility just to be sure, I have already gone through the authorization mambo in iTunes--I was able to sync my iPod Touch just fine, aside from a few issues with apps that I downloaded directly to my iPod not wanting to transfer over to my computer, it did tell me my new machine was authorized, of course I have two machines authorized because I was unable to deauthorize the last one before it died--but they just do not play. The play button shows, the little sound icon comes up beside the song, but no sound issues forth. Same thing seems to happen in iTunes. I attempted to play a Quicktime movie preview, also, but that did not work either, so I am wondering if there might be a connection between the two.
This too, after I migrated over everything, iTunes did not want to start up; I was prompted to reinstall it, as I was told it was corrupted or installed incorrectly. Which is weird, seeing as how I had only just started up the machine for the first time, and had nothing to do with installing iTunes in the first place. I downloaded it from the internet, and it seemed to be working fine until I attempted to play music.
If anyone can help me, I will be so very grateful. Just about next to tears, and am trying all avenues; next will be calling Apple Care and hoping for someone who can help.

I am having the same problem with my iTunes. Support had me uninstall everything and reinstall iTunes again thinking it was corrupt. I did that and it worked for a couple of days. Now they say that cannot help since it is iTunes and not my iPhone and sent me here. Sometimes I can get it to work sporadically if I reboot my laptop a couple of times, but I have rebooted a few times already and nothing plays...no song previews, nothing from my library. iPods and iPhone play fine, it is isolated only to iTunes and is super frustrating. I get the same task bar up top as if it were going to play, but the play timer doesn't start. Help please!!!

Quicktime Will not work

Hi, I recently got Photoshop CS3 which requires Quicktime for video editing. So, I instaled quicktime but when I tried to run it, a window popped up saying that 'quicktime has stoped working'. It never realy opened, though. I've tried re-installing it a bunch of times, repairing it, completely removing it and puting it back on, and it always says its installed just fine. but then it will not run. An alert always just pops up saying 'quicktime has stpped working'. I would really greatly appreciate it if you could help.

i just figured it out. i was on myspace and i right clicked and went to plug-in setting and looked under browser and i clicked on MiMe setting and then i clicked on use defaults and that worked
