"Quicktime was not found"

Help Itunes had been working great and all of the sudden it stopped working. Whenever I click the icon, it gives me the
'Quicktime was not found...Quicktime is required for Itunes, please re-install Itunes'.
I've tried uninstalling and installing (5 times)and it hasn't worked. Anyone have an idea of what I can do to remedy the situation?

It might be worth trying a complete removal of iTunes and Quicktime followed by a phased reinstall.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and also the version of QUicktime that does not include iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Use the following method to remove iTunes and QUicktime etc:

Restart your computer.
Install Quicktime and check to see it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

    Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
    You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

  • Problems opening iTunes after installation - "QuickTime was not Found"

    I am having trouble opening iTunes. Both iTunes and Quick time will download and install and I can open QuickTime without a problem, but when I open iTunes, I get the following error:
    Open iTunes and an error opens:
    "QuickTime was not found. QuickTime is required to run iTunse. Please uninstall iTunes and then install iTunes again."
    I only have trouble when I am at home and not connected to my work network. I was able to start iTunes yesterday while in the office, but all my music is on my external hard drive at home. Not helpful!
    I have tried about everything - uninstalled, reinstalled itunes and quick time, disabled bonjour, disabled the startup files, etc. I am still not having any luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Both iTunes and Quick time will download and install and I can open QuickTime without a problem, but when I open iTunes, I get the following error:
    A bit unusual.
    Did you do the QuickTime/iTunes install at work?
    Is QuickTime still launching when you get the PC home?
    (Wondering if something relating to the network at work have done odd things to QuickTime or iTunes registry entries ... possibly iTunes is looking for QuickTime on the wrong drive when you get the PC home, for example.)

    Hi, I cannot access my iTunes as it says Quicktime was not found. It advises me to un-install and then re-install iTunes but I am afraid I may loose everything as it hasnt been backed u since May 2012. I can access iTunes on my iPhone but the error message comes up when I try to access this on my desktop. Any advice? Thanks a mill

    Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling should not affect your library. You should backup anyway.

  • ITunes won't load, it says Quicktime was not found. QuickTime is required to run iTunes.

    iTunes won't load, it says Quicktime was not found. QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. I have done this several times and it keeps showing me that Quicktime is unavailable even though I redownload it every single time.

  • Itunes won't open because it says Quicktime was not found?

    When I click to open Itunes, first this message pops up: The procdedure entry point QTCF_CFHTTPPMessageSetHeaderFieldValue couldn not be locate in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll.
    Then i click OK and the same message pops up, and then another one pops up saying: Quick Time is not found.  Quicktime is required to open Itunes.  Please uninstall Itunes, then install it again.
    Except I checked, and i DO have Quicktime.  So I uninstalled Quicktime, and installed it again.  I opened iTunes and ir won't work.  So I uninstalled iTunes and then installed it again.  Still doesn't work...

    If you definitely have a working QuickTime but iTunes thinks that you7 do not, then this points to a particular type of error.
    Do you have a computer that has been set up for a work network? You may find that iTunes works OK when the computer is connected to the network but doesn't at home when not connected.
    There are other possibilities, but this is a common one.
    If I have guessed right, the problem lies in the %path% environment variable. In order to look at its contents, could you do the following:
    Type:
    cmd
    into your search box and click cmd under Programs.
    The black cmd window will open.
    Next copy&paste the following into the cmd window and press return:
    echo %path% >documents\path.txt
    This will place the contents of the %path% variable in a text file called Path in (My) Documents.
    Could you copy&paste this text file into your next post so I can look at it.

  • Itunes failed to start because 3ivx.dll was not found

    I cannot launch itunes on my computer. When I try to open it a window pops up that reads "Quick Time handler window: itunes.exe - unable to locate component". The message reads: "This application has failed to start because 3ivx.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
    I have installed the newest version of itunes and quick time but this hasn't worked. Scan on computer shows everything to be fine - no viruses etc.
    Just wondering if anybody knows how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Quick Time is up to date.
    ... no, I wasn't checking on your QuickTime. 3ivx is a different thing. See:
    http://www.3ivx.com/
    Is the 3ivx stuff you've got installed on your PC up to date?

  • My i tunes is not working anymore. it says the application failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. I have tried re-installing the program but it doesn't work.

    Hello,
    Yesterday I tried to get onto iTunes and was unable to. I keep getting this message:
    Itunes.exe - Unable to locate component.
    This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.
    Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
    I have tried to uninstall and re-install the program several times but cannot get it to work. Now I get this message:
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
    Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    I have tried to do what I can but am not really iTunes savy and would like to get this issue resolved. Can anyone help me?
    THANK YOU!!

  • HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

    I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
    "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
    In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
    It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
    Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
    Thanks

    Hey I finally got an older vesion of itunes to work!!! 10.7  x64 for windows 7
    After uninstalling all apple products even  quicktime
    I had to delete everything from (program files, and program  files x64, program data,)
    And all downloads from apple, and I went in to search deleted  other stuff from apple, and itunes
    But definently not my itunes library and Playlist
    Down loaded 10.7 x64 for windows 7, but checked (do not start  when done)
    Then I emptied my recycling bin and restarted my  PC
    I ran geek tech tool box same as reg cure pro, also PC Tools  registry cleaner, and CC Cleaner
    Then I emptied my recycling bin and restarted my  PC
    And wallah... It finally works, and I Love the older version  anyways.
    Easier to download and transfer  music!!!!!

  • This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

    I recently tried to download the latest version of iTunes, but an error occured during the process. It was recommended that i reinstall iTunes to attempt to correct that problem. After I attempted to reinstall, an error came up with the title "iTunes.exe - Unable to locate component." the body of the error message read "This application  has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." When I click "Ok", another error message pops-up reading "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)". I tried reinstalling iTunes 3 times now, each time with the same result. What is going wrong, and what do I need to do?

    Kappy, I completely overlooked your original response due to it's small, one line nature and poor UX design of the area surrounding the message area.
    Upon following the complete instructions linked from the link you posted (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US), my first attempt resulted in everything being installed except for iTunes. So trying yet again.
    I do have Safari for Windows Vista installed, which is why I could not delete everything in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. I'm guessing this is Apple's way of completely removing Safari Win from history (there's always an under-the-table reason when something like this happens with Apple installs, they just won't say it publicly). Uninstalling Safari. Uninstalling Safari removes the remaining "Internet" files from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
    Uninstalling iCloud. Uninstalling MobileMe Control Panel that was never used. That leaves only QuickTime installed as an Apple product on my machine.
    Just for the record, I did not have this folder: C:\Program Files\iPod\
    Emptied the Recycling Bin.
    Shut down and fresh start-up.
    Install attempt again: results in the installer saying something interrupted it (no other programs open)
    Installing again immediately after error: Success
    Clearly there are issues with this installer.
    A pop-up shows up with "The registry settings used by the iTunes drives for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burining software. Please reinstall iTunes"
    No other CD burning software installed other than what came pre-installed by Gateway and a install of Windows Vista Pro (or whatever the top expensive one was called).
    iTunes launched. iTunes Library, items like Movies & Music, and playlists are still intact and usable.
    Good thing I don't have these issues on my Macs (ahem, which is why these errors are allowed to persist by Apple to discourage Microsoft/Windows/PC use and purchase, all about the money and Apple has become the non-caring giant it once sought to overthrow as the underdog, miss those days).
    Thanks Kappy. Thanks for the time suck Apple.
