Quicktime Problem with itunes 5 install

Ok, here is my situation. I upgraded to itunes 5 from 4.9.
Install went clean but when I launch itunes, it say's I need the current version of Quicktime. I thought the current version is installed with itunes 5? So, I open Quicktime to check the version number, it say's 6.5.2.?
I attempt to update, update indicates that I have the most current version installed. I attempted to uninstall QT from add/remove programs, it said that it was previously uninstalled and offered to remove the icon from the list.
Is there an easy way to uninstall itunes and roll back to the previous version? I have the old installer for that version.
This is BS, I have an ipod 4g and have no way to get more music on it, not to speak of my three daughters whom also own ipods.
Please, help me.
Thakns!!

Charles,
So, you don't really have Quicktime installed, but you have the QT 6.5.2 files around and QT 7.0 won't install. This is very odd. Let's capture more information about where the install goes bad and pass it to the Apple engineers.
1. Delete the C:\Program Files\Quicktime files. The program isn't really installed, so they're not really doing you much good.
2. Start menu -> Run... In the text field of the dialog that comes up, type in "cmd" and hit return.
2. Download the Quicktime Standalone Installer.
3. In the command prompt dialog that comes up, find the Quicktime standalone installer on your desktop and drag it to this window. Then on the same line type in a space and then the following:
/Verbose"c:\log.txt"
There is no space between the e in Verbose and the double quote (").
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
If Quicktime 7.0 isn't installed on your machine, find that file and send it to the apple moderator. Tell her Toonz sent you. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context.
If Quicktime 7.0 is successfully installed, just delete it and we'll all move on.

I have problems with iTunes install.

There are many discussions about installing iTunes 10.5, but I have another problem.
First, I can't install iTunes because in finish of installing Apple Software Update there is a 'problem with Windows Installer'.
I tried to reinstall Windows Installer, to restore Windows with the installation disc, to reboot my computer, to check files, but it don't solve my problem.
I found some installed Apple components: Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support, and Apple Software Update. I was successfully uninstalled first two components (AMDS and AAS) but I can't uninstall Apple Software Update - if I want to reinstall or uninstall it there is an 'No access to Windows Installer' and I can't fix this problem with those methods.
What I can do now? I really don't want to reinstall Windows.
P.S. Sorry for bad English.

More problems with iTunes 9.1.0.79

Hi,
since I have had my iPhone I have upgraded itunes a couple of times and never had any problems until now.
I upgraded to 9.1.0.79 two days ago and am having all sorts of issues.
Now when itunes starts it takes ages.
When my iphone is connected I get a message saying:-
+itunes cannot sync information with the iphone 'iphone' because syncing has been disabled on this computer+
I click the yes button to enable syncing and then receive an error message:-
+itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services reconnect or try again later+
I then click OK and my phone appears in the devices list.
These error messages happen every time I start itunes, so by me clicking the yes button to enable syncing does absolutely nothing.
My iphone will sync fine just that itunes tends to freeze up and is very slow.
I run a diagnostic from the help menu and without my iphone connected it shows a red dot next to 'No iPhone or iPod found', which is correct but when I have my iphone connected this red dot is now orange, what is the difference in colour?
I have turned of all anti-virus and firewall software but itunes is still the same, very unresponsive, so anti-virus/firewall is not the problem.
I followed to the letter:-
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and totally uninstalled everything and then reinstalled itunes only to find the same problem persisting.
This is definitely a problem with itune 9.1.0.79 and apple should be addressing it pronto.
Here is the data from the diagnostic run and it shows my iphone as not found even though it is connected, showing in devices and I can sync to it, wierd!!

notice how under diagnostics readout it shows "most recent device not currently connected"
mine does same thing and i have iphone connected when i do it.
my problems also started with this update and i show 4 errors in event viewer which is under adminastrative tools in control panel.
MY problem is super slow backups for a 16gb 3Gs with 12gbs free. a backup used to be done in like 30-45 seconds now takes about 5 minutes and looks as if it stals at a few points when looking at bar at top of itunes.
my iphone shows up in itunes and shows all pages etc. i do everything manually although i do sync apps.
everytime i connect iphone and open itunes i get 4 errors thats show up only in event viewer (but anyone who maintains computers should be aware of all tools available to them to see whats going on in the background) that show up for "BONJOUR" i have posted this here and under bonjour forum. i turned off bonjour services the proper way again thrru adminastrative tools>services double click bonjour and change for "automatic to "disabled". don't do it through msconfig as some would tell you to do if it's a bonjour issue.
but checking out event viewer can give you valuable info so you don't do the apple nonsense wasting hours to clean up their messy installation only to have it do exact same thing again. it's obvoius they have a conflict.... now we can only hope for a resolution ie UPDATE if enough complain by sending them all this.
i don't have a jailbreak phone nor am i rebuilding anything i'll live with it till they fix it as my event viewer log isn't getting filled up with bonjour errors anymore nor do i need all this bloated crap apple sends our way... i do have quicktime pro.

Subwoofer Problems with iTunes

I'm having problems with itunes working with my new speakers. The speakers are Logitech Z-2300's. The subwoofer hums loudly everytime the bass comes on in a song (and hence the sub doesn't actually produce any of the song). At first I was worried it was because the subwoofer is damaged but after testing it with my laptop (which was also using itunes) and it working ok I realised the speakers are fine. So I then wondered if it was my desktop unit which was malfunctioning but when i tried to play the exact same song using Windows Media Player on the computer with the speakers there was no problem at all. I have removed itunes and re-installed it but the same problem is occurring. I am using itunes version 7.5.0.20, my computer is running SP2 of Windows XP Pro. Can anyone please help?

I don't know anything about sub woofers, but this sounds like it is worth looking at your Quicktime preferences.
Quicktime>>Prefernces>>Quicktime Prerferences>>Audio tab>>Select Audio Playback and recording devices>>Advanced.
There you will find some speaker options that may help.

Problems with iTunes Launching

I am having problems with iTunes launching on my G4 Mac Mini. Everytime I tried to launch it the application just carries on bouncing up and down on the dock, but never launches. I dumped the preferences folder then tried to relaunch it but that didnt solve anything. Then I tried uninstalling the whole application. I searched for any files associated with iTunes and trashed them. Then reinstalled iTunes 7 (previously had iTunes 6 on), thinking this would solve the problem but it didnt. Has anyone got any suggestions for me? My only other option is to reformat the whole machine just to get iTunes working again. Obvioulsy I didnt right away wanna go this route. I'm sure there is something I am just missing
Thanks in advance.

I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver.

I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting the iPhone with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver for Windows 8, iTunes and iPhone. MS does not care! This seems to be a general problem with Windows 8 that a number of drivers that used to work with Windows 7 now do not work, ie. iPhone to iTunes, HTC to HTCSync, Samsung to Kies etc. I need this connection to work in order to syncronize with Outlook and my iTunes library.

There will be a new version of iTunes released this month... no one forced you to upgrade prior to a supported version of iTunes being released.

Seemingly Impossible Problems with iTunes

I've never had any problems with iTunes until a few months ago, and I've been unable to use the program since. It all started when I upgraded to iTunes 10, and my computer randomly started to freeze every time I tried to open the program. I thought that I would try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, but it definitely hasn't worked out the way I'd planned.
The iTunes 10 installations would cause my computer to freeze, so I thought I would try to go back to iTunes 9, which I had no problems with previously. I followed the uninstall instructions on the Apple Support website, started to install iTunes 9, and my computer freezes every time when "registering iTunes automation server". I can't even get the Task Manager to come up when this happens, so I'm forced to turn my computer off and start over. I tried this again, still no luck. I uninstalled everything, turned off my spyware programs, deleted my temp files... everything. I even deleted the program files today, and I still haven't had any luck.
I have a small fortune invested in iTunes, and I'd really like to get it back up and running before Christmas. I have some new CDs I'd love to put on my iPod, and one of my favorite bands is releasing a limited edition digital box set that you can only get on iTunes that I'd really like to have. I've read that Apple doesn't even know how to fix this problem, and I don't really want to spend $29 for a pointless phone call.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you in advance!

No such luck
I've tried uninstalling all of the Apple programs on my computer, but the installation still freezes at the same spot.
Thank you for the suggestion though.

I've never had any problems with iTunes,

I've never had any problems with iTunes, and one day, without doing anything to it, I tried to open it and it said "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled it countless times and it still keeps giving me that message. I don't know what to do.

Hey grossa2,
First, here is a way to report an issue with your purchase:

Then, I'd go through this article, which helps troubleshoot a lack of audio playback in iTunes:

Leigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

Weird intermittent problems with itunes

I had problems with info getting greyed out when looking at music library. One data field was greyed out and this occurred intermittently throughout the library.
So the only way I could fix it was to edit the data entry, add a space at the end of it and press enter. Then go back and re-edit it and remove the space.
I also had problems trying to edit data in the data fields. The data field kept getting reset to what was in there after editing and erasing the info in the data field. This happened for about half an hour. Each edit was undone.
Is this just a problem with version 7.2? Seems that a lot of weird problems occured after upgrading to that version. Now that a newer version has come out, I hope the issues will be gone.

I also had strange problems with Itunes saying I did not have access or something to convert some files to other formats. I checked the library folder and the files and had the proper priviledges to access the files. However, Itunes refused to let me convert the files so I had to run quicktime which converted the files without a hitch.

Problems with iTunes 7.1.2 : Missing Contacts Info

Problems with iTunes 7.1.2 : Missing Contacts Info !
I synced my iPhone 5s (running v 7.1.1) to my late 2010 MacBook Pro 13" (OSX 10.9.4) using iTunes (can't remember exactly which version of iTunes, but whatever was the latest around the end of May 2014).
Subsequently, I upgraded my iPhone 5s to v 7.1.2 and also upgraded iTunes to 11.3.1 (2), then synced my 5s to my MacBook Pro.
Following this, on both my iPhone and on my Mac (I don't use iCloud), many of my Contact details had reverted to a much older version, and most of the information under the "notes" field in each contact was missing.
Is there a way to revert to the prior version of iTunes (7.1.1) or otherwise restore this missing information? There is critical information in my Contacts that has now ceased to exist!

Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. Before doing the step back to 6.5.2, try a complete QT reinstall.
This is how:
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
FWIW, FCP4.5 can run without issue under 10.4.x and QT7, but it is VERY stable under 10.3.9 and QT6.5.2.
Good luck.

Serious problems with iTunes

Hello,
I updated my iTunes yesterday and my music library disappeared completely. I tried to use the back up of the library made previously and it didnt work. I then added my whole music folder to iTunes successfully except that there was around 30 of each playlist (90s music etc). This caused iTunes to run very slowly and as they wouldnt delete i had to go through and delete my library very slowly as to not make iTunes crash. I then sucessfully uninstalled iTunes and got rid of all the library back ups which may have been the cause of the mutliple playlist.
On re instalatiuon of iTunes the multiple playlists had gone and the scroll bars had gone black. I added my My Music folder and to my horror the music didnt play anymore. I have been through all the help sections for this problem and nothing seems to work. iTunes at the moment is very unstable and crashes very often. Could this be a quicktime problem? I would very much appreciate some help.
Thankyou!
C Vallender
