"QuickTime Unavailable" message

Recently I found it impossible to access videos on various websites such as 'The Huffington Post, 'New Scientist', and so forth. When I try to access a video on these sites I get the following message:
The QuickTime Plug-in requires the Quicktime System
extension version 5 or later.
Then it directs me to acquire QuickTime through your website. To make matters worse, the message keeps reappearing periodically and continuously whether or not I am trying to access a video and regardless of what application I am in.
I have uninstalled the old version on QuickTime and downloaded and installed version 7 for Windows XP. The problem persists.
Is the QuickTime System extension version 5 something separate from QuickTime Player that I have to download separately?
Is there a fix for this problem?

The instruction at 0x10001040 referenced memory at 0x10001040. The memory could not be "read".
that one typically means you've got a broken QuickTime. if we can get your QT functional again, your itunes should launch.
just doublechecking a couple of things before proceeding.
are you getting this when you install on your Server 2003?
if so, what error message do you get if you try a standalone QT 7.1 install?
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
is the error message a 0x80040707?

  • Quicktime Failed To Initialize (Error 2096) Quicktime unavailable!?!

    I Have An Old 4th generation 40 gig ipod and a dell e521 pc. I have only recently had internet access, before I typed everything by hand onto my itunes program on my computer. I Want to buy a new ipod classic, but I'm Not sure if it would have been compatible with my outdated itunes program. So I Tried to download the newest verision of itunes and I Thought it was sucessfull, but after I Restarted my computer and attempted to open the newly downloaded itunes, I keep getting this error message that reads Quicktime Unavailable: Quicktime failed to initialize (error 2096)!?! i thought quicktime and itunes were being downloaded together. what am I Doing wrong? Thaks.

    I had opened the QuickTime FOLDER Properties and the iTunes FOLDER Properties, which is why I did not see a Compatability tab. When I went into the folders, then into the files, I found that QuickTime was not set to Compatability Mode, but iTunes was set to run compatable with Windows 95. I unchecked the box. It appears that iTunes will now launch on my computer.
    Thanks very much. You have brought some joy to my day.

  • Quicktime Unavailable Error

    I was running iTunes 9 on my PC and it said there was a new version. So i went to the Apple website and downloaded the new iTunes 10 with Quicktime for Windows. I ran the setup file and it said my installation was finished. I tried to run iTunes after that but iTunes keeps showing the error "Quicktime Unavailable : Quicktime was not found. Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again." I have tried this multiple times with the same result everytime. Please help! It was working perfectly before and now its not. Also whenever the error message showed up the first time I clicked on the Quicktime shortcut on my desktop and it ran fine.

    I have same issue. Called support twice. Works after install once and then get same Quicktime Unavailable error again and again. Uninstalled and installed several times. If anyone knows a fix it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can i put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

    I'm going to be out of the country for a few weeks.  I have an iPhone 4s.  Can I put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

    No. Sorry. Check with your carrier. Perhaps they offer such a service.

  • Why can I often not view a youtube video? get a 'unavailable' message.

    I view Thai videos on YouTube. With my new MacBook Pro, I often get a 'video unavailable' message, yet the same video is available on my iPad. It happens often.

    What sort of YouTube app are you looking for?
    My receiver has AirPlay so I can play iTunes music through it - never tried YouTube - I'm guessing that would need an Apple TV.

  • Itunes + quicktime error message - service 'ipod service' (ipod service) fa

    Help! Got new iPod Nano for Christmas and I STILL cannot get it to show up in iTunes - it has showed up in my device manager - with an over the icon - "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28) To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Drivers. - Then another error - Wizard cannot find the software to instal -(my iPod did not come with a disk!!!) I have done the "R's" several times! Downloaded and installed and uninstalled several x's from iTunes. Changed USB locations - I have three to choose from. Now - I am 'repairing' the latest installation from iTunes and I get this "itunes + quicktime error message - service 'ipod service' (ipod service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". Any ideas??? I'm not a computer genious....but I'm not a complete newbie, either! I am so FRUSTRATED!!!! This should be that difficult - I added additional RAM and it was a breeze and successful! This is just ridiculous! Any one have any other ideas???? I have read so much - even emptied the battery and recharged!!! HELP! Please! I just wanna hear some music!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    Thanks - I got it to install by going into 'run' to get to permissions, etc. So that seems OK - but my computer is still not acknowledging iPod software and for some reason iTunes is now showing 'the URL could not be opened' when I go into Help for iPod. It's still not showing up in Itunes, either

  • QuickTime Unavailable Pop-Up

    I have a problem with a pop-up that is titled "QuickTime Unavailable" and it goes on to say "The QuickTime Plug-in requires the QuickTime System extension version 5 or later". I don't understand this because I have downloaded QuickTime 7.2 a couple of times because I kept getting the pop-up. Anybody have any ideas? I really could use a couple of ideas besides my idea of drop kicking my computer next time I get that pop-up.
    FYI: I'm running QT on a Dell Inspiron 1705 with Windows XP.
    Thanks for your time,

    I found the fix for this here in another thread. I wish I could remember the name of it. It is simple, just need to check 2 settings. I am sorry I don't remember more. WAIT!!! I found it, the thread is: 'Foxfire Quicktime plug-in issue' by Tennisknight > Jmurphy77 > Jacumba. Jacumba's post has the info. Good luck

  • Upgrading itunes for new ipod 30mb - getting quicktime error message and

    Hi there,
    I am upgrading itunes 4.7.1 for a newly purchased ipod 30mb using itunes site downloaded setup.
    I am getting an error message as it reaches a certain point and won't install.
    I get this:
    The cabinet file "QuickTime.cab"required is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, and error reading from the CD Rom or a problem with this package.
    Then I get
    'The installation of QuickTime did not complete. Itunes needs QuickTime'Error message 2350'
    This is on a PC with an earlier version Itunes 4.7.1
    QuickTime is supposedly up to date and presents not problems.
    Any help would be appreciated I am a klutz....
