Quicktime not found message when starting Itunes

I've been using Itunes for a few years now, and recently I noticed a problem. Now every time I try to open Itunes it tells me quicktime was not found, and to reinstall Itunes. I have reinstalled both Itunes and Quicktime several times, and with each attempt I reccieve the same quicktime not found message. If anyone has any idea how to correct this problem, please post your responses. Thank you. Oh, and if it makes any influence whatsoever, I have windows xp
thank you!

Can I uninstall existing iTunes without losing my media library? and then install fresh to fix this problem?

Error messages when starting iTunes - 11556 and other. Who may help?

Hi there,
When starting iTunes i get to the iTunes U store. Trying to connect to the normal iTunes store, I get the following error message:
"We could not complete your iTunes store request. The iTunes store is temporarly unavailable"
This message I get since about one week. Further I tried to sign in and then I get the following message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (11556). Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
Network connection is working. iTunes connectivity diagnostics showed: all tests passed. I am using the latest version of iTunes (9.0.3.15). I tried to reinstall iTunes - did not help.
I hope, anybody can help me.
Regards,
kunzro

Hey Richard
After I posted here I realized it was in the Windows/iTunes board. I reposted in the OS X/iTunes board along with the solution.
I did more searching on Google and found that the store was disabled in parental controls in the iTunes Prefs. Go to iTunes prefs, click on Parental. See if iTunes store is disabled. I unchecked it and am all set. Someone mentioned that when iTunes is updated, this setting is the default.
Hope this helps.

If this is something inside omni.ja, I think you need to reinstall Firefox. Omni.ja is inside the program directory. I would get the installer and install Firefox manually. It probably would not hurt to remove the Firefox program directory first. You can get that installer here:

QuickTime not found error when trying to run iTunes 64 bit on W7, QuickTime not found error when trying to run iTunes 64 bit on W7

I have quicktime installed on windows 7, 64 bit, and then installed the 64 bit version of iTunes. Install is successful, but when I try ot run iTunes, I get an error - "QuickTime was not found". Any suggestions?

I have the same problem, and while I can 'fix' it with the approach described here, I have to 'fix' it that way EVERY TIME I launch itunes. I suppose the lousy support for mainstream computers is apple's way of saying, 'well of course you can't use your phone, you're not living in a (TM) apple home (TM) please sell your existing home and purchase one from apple if you want your phone to work.' I never would have imagined that as a computer programmer it would be a multi-hour/failed installation process to get iTunes and the iPhone4 working properly. What a joke.

I get an error message when starting itunes

Hi, i'v ehad this problem for a while .. i'm not a computer expert but i do my best. I get an error message when clicking to start iTunes ... can someone help me ! i don't want to lose my songs !

top fixes are
- turning off security software before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
In your case, if iTunes was working OK for a while and then mysteriously stopped, youve got a virus, I bet. Do the ewido malware scan.

Strange error message when starting ITunes, ITunes doesn't recognise devices for wifi sync

Google search has explained to me that this is related to Bonjour but nothing further. I have done the 'usual' - booted in safe mode, repaired permissions, updated software, reinstalled Mountain Lion via Disc Recovery, restarted my modem etc.
Before I just wipe the hard drive and start again from scratch, maybe there's something obvious I'm not doing? Every other device in the house (2 x Iphones, 2 x Ipads, 1 Apple TV, 2 wifi radios and 1 other IMac desktop) have no problems with the wifi network.

I am having similar issue. Getting these same 24 error messages everytime I start iTunes. Sharing is already off.

I keep getting an error message when starting iTunes

When I start iTunes I get an error message that says "iTunes cannot run because some of its required filles are missing. Please reinstall iTunes" I have uninstalled and reinstalled but still getting the same error message. If I reboot my computer iTunes opens with no problem but if I close iTunes and try reopening it without rebooting I get the error message. I have the most recent version. My OS is Windows XP Pro SP3. Does anyone have an answer that can resolve this issue?

Hey SDGardella,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving error 499 when attempting to download purchases from the iTunes Store. The following resource outlines this error message:

This alert occurs due to security software. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

"Server Not Found" Message when downloading Flash Player

Hello,
I am trying to download Macromedia Flash Player using my
Firefox browser, but when I click on "Download Now" an error
message appears:
"Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at fpdownload.macromedia.com.
* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or
proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
There is no such problem when I use Internet Explorer, but my
preferred browser is Firefox. Is there any reason why Firefox can't
access the server? Or is there another site I can download Flash
from?
I downloaded the latest Firefox version a couple of days ago,
v1.5.0.2
I use Windows ME.
Thanks,
HeywoGr

sounds like a local issue on your end with firefox. I can
connect with FF here:

Maybe restart FF?

"entry point not found" erro when starting firefox

When trying to load Firefox from my desktop I get an error that says "Firefox.exe - Entry Point not Found". And also "The procedure entry point NS_SetDIIDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been using Firefox for a few years now and this just started happening.

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

Error message when starting itunes

"itunes cannot run because it has detected an error with your audio configuration"
Does anyone have any clue what I need to do to fix this problem. I have tried downloading it again and I still receive the same problem.
I have been using itunes for years and this problem is just now occuring.
Thanks everyone!

Perhaps this Apple Knowledgebase article will help:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
Good luck.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Help!!I plz i'm begging plz error message when starting itunes

it says:" itunes has encoutered a problem and needs to close we are sorry for the inconvience" everytime i click on itunes and start it it always said that plz help been trying and searching for 5 days plz plz!!!

ok i got it but how do i move my files from the old admin to the other account?
let's try getting the old account launching again. the fact that it is opening in the new account gives us leads on potential causes of the crashing problem.
the first thing we'll check for is skunky iTunes preference files in the account you're getting the crash in. (there's a different set of pref files in each XP user account, which is how we can get this "launch in one account, crash in another" behavior with a pref files problem.)
if that's what is going on, we can often get past it by rebuilding your itunes preference files in the crashing account. here's how we'll do it.
quit itunes and log in to the account that you're crashing in.
make sure you have "show hidden files and folders" switched on. to do that, open up My Computer, and in the Tools menu, choose "Folder Options..." Then go to the View tab, and then in the "Advanced settings", make sure that there is a check mark next to "Show hidden files and folders".
now navigate to the following folder and open it up:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\
("<username>" is the name of the account you're crashing in.)
inside, you should see an "iTunesPref.xml" file and possibly an "iTunes.pref" file. rename them "iTunes.pref1" and iTunesPref.xml1". move them to your desktop.
now navigate to the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\
inside, you should see another "iTunesPref.xml" file and possibly an "iTunes.pref" file. rename them "iTunes.pref2" and iTunesPref.xml2". move them to your desktop.
now try launching iTunes again. the iTunes Setup Assistant will run again for you (you'll see the license agreement and whatnot.) this will generate new pref files.
after the iTunes Setup assistant finishes, does your iTunes launch properly?

Exchange Server 'Not Found' message when adding

I was successful with Snow Leopard in working with my Exchange Server using the settings on my Windows machine and dialing in through the VPN.
When setting up my new MacBook Air that came with Lion on it, when I try to attach to the server the same way (not migrating, setting up new) it tells me it can't find the server. It's not that it's the wrong version, just says 'can't find'
I can ping it by dns name from the terminal, so I know it is visible on the network.
