QuickTime will not reinstall on my home desktop
Somewhere between April 27, 2011 and last week something happened to the Quick Time installation on my home desktop and now I cannot get it to reinstall.
Pentium IV class processor
Vista Home Premium
iTunes (latest version) installed
When I try and reinstall Quick Time I get this error message:
Insights on getting this squared away will be apprecited.
Re, what else is not working? iTunes is also locking up, which I attribute to some connection to the Quicktime issues.
Yeah ... although the connection is a bit more hazy nowadays, given that a full version of QuickTime no longer needs to be installed for iTunes to work.
I'm not sure why a QuickTime install would need to do anything with those files. But let's try taking the message at its word and see if we can make some progress that way.
Download and save a copy of the QuickTime installer to your desktop. (Don't run the install just yet.)
Configure the PC to start with a clean boot as per the following document:
Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or program
Restart the PC. Don't open any applications. Try an install.
Does that go through any better?

QuickTime will not open (Windows 7 64-bit OS)
I have the latest version of iTunes with QuickTime installed. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with QuickTime several times. iTunes opens fine, but QuickTime will not open. It used to open fine about a month ago, but will not now, I have no idea what changed on my computer to cause this problem. When I try to open it, the Quicktime icon appears at the bottom of the screen in the Windows 7 taskbar, but no window opens on the screen. I have a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. Has anyone seen this before or had any success correcting this problem? Thank you, Josh

That's consistent with a QuickTime display preference gone bad, josh.
If that's what is afoot, rebuilding the QuickTime preferences can help, although it can be a bit of a trial to track them down on the 64-bit systems.
Close any of the QuickTime Player buttons that are currently in your taskbar.
Now we need to change some view settings on the PC. (The preferences are kept in hidden folders.)
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Click OK.
Next we'll navigate to your AppData folder.
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your user documents are stored on.
Open the "Users" folder.
Open the folder with the name of the Windows User account in which the QuickTime Player isn't displaying properly.
Open the "AppData" folder.
Now the hunt for the QuickTime preferences begins.
Open the "Roaming" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
*If there was no QuickTime folder in \Roaming\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly*
Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "Local" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.

Any of those measures help with the display problem? -
ITunes and Quicktime will not load
Hi, when i try and load my iTunes, it will not load. It has been working fine for months, but has recently stopped!
When i try and load iTunes, i am given the standard Windows "iTunes has encountered a problem" screen with the error message of:
Error Signature
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer: 6.0.0.3
ModName: quicktimeStreamingAuthoring.QTX
ModVer: 7.0.3.50
OffSet: 00016cb9
So i "Repaired" iTunes, which didnt fix the problem, i uninstalled it, which also didnt fix it.
Then i decided to try and uninstall Quicktime, due to it being the root of the problem, and i was greeted with this error:
Error Description
DLL function call crashed
QTInstallCode.QuickTimeUninstallPrc
Any ideas on what is the problem, and how to fix it?! Because i cannot install a new quicktime whilst this one is still on my computer, and i cant get it off!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
MattOkay... I'm waiting for this answer too!! Exact problem...was working fine now I get the "Itunes has encountered a problem...." I attempted to run Quicktime (it is needed, I understand) but now it will not run. I uninstalled all (could not even find Quicktime) and attempted to reinstall. Itunes apparently reinstalled but Quicktime will not... and now nothing is running.

QuickTime will not launch on my computer. I click on the QuickTime icon on the button bar and it just won't open. The colorful little circle just spins forever. I have to force quit every time. I've reinstalled it from the internet download and same condition. The computer is new - 1 month old with all the necessary updates that have come through software updater. Is there something I'm missing or a quick fix out there? Clicking on downloaded wma and wmv's same scenario.
Ok, let's say I opened Apple page, and went to QuickTime. There are many trairols and ads there, but when I try to play any of them, I see a dimmed Q logo with a quistion mark inside it in the place where QuickTime should play!!!
Is there a missing plug in?, I downloaded and re-installed QuickTime several times now, but with same results. Any clue?
BTW, when I right click any ad, or trailor, I found that I can download the file on disktop, and then play it normally. -
Itunes or quicktime will not open
I just purchased ipod and I downloaded itunes. at first it worked correctly, then it stopped opening and quicktime will not open either. I have tried re-installing numerous times to no avail. All the error message says unknown error send or don't send to MS. I am starting to get frustrated over this. It has taken up so much time. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME????
Hi Dave. Many thanks for your response. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstalled them and now I can open iTunes. I now have another problem. The music that is on my iPhone that was imported from my iTunes prior to resetting my Mac seems to be unavailable for me to play. It doesn't show up on my iPhone when it's not connected. But when I connect it to my Mac all the songs show up under the music tab of my iPhone but they are all light grey and when I click one an exclamation mark appears next to it. I've tried authorizing my account but that doesn't do anything.
If you have any idea what the problem could be I would really gratefull. -
ITunes/Quicktime will not start.
iTunes/Quicktime will not start. Nor will anything quicktime dependant start. (Like Adobe Go Live) I recently reformated one of my Windows PCs and reinstalled m$ windows xp pro. I begain installing nessacary software and when I was done with iTunes/Quicktime (Why the heck is it now bundled?) it would not start. Could it be a codec conflict problem? I also tried reinstalling iTunes/Quciktime and nothing changed...
Any comments would be appreciated.hi trackmanxs!
then i got the new quicktime and i am gettin error -1316 and -1603....someone please help
here's what we'll try first with that one.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

My G Drive will not show up on my desktop for use. It did yesterday. It is not full and currently the light turns on and seems to be running but will not show up on my desktop. What can I do?
1. verify on another Mac first. and another port.
2. very likely dead SATA card

Itunes will not open and quicktime will not update
selecting iTunes results in popup message; 'iTunes requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later...', but QuickTime will not open.
Control right-click did not help.Wow, it looks like your software is very very old.
The current version of QuickTime is 10.3. The current version of OS X is 10.9.1. (Your profile indicates you are running OS X 10.5.8, Leopard. Leopard was released in 2007.)
The current version of iTunes, 11.1.4, will not run on Leopard.
Anyway, it sounds as if all your software needs extensive upgrading. You may be using a computer that is too old to run current software. -
Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium will not Reinstall: Says Serial Number is not "Valid"
Chat support has been no help. I uninstalled Creative Suite 6 because I was having issues with some of the software and hoped that a reinstall would solve the problem. Now the software will not reinstall. It takes me to the validation screen where it asks for the serial number and says "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design and Web Premium. Please contact customer service," when i type the serial number in. I have now gone through THREE chat sessions with "customer support" in which they have sent me a link to download the same program, and it would not reload because of the serial number, and then have walked me TWICE through a multitude of tasks that have not solved the problem. They keep asking me the same questions again and again, ignore my own questions to them, and cannot give me any information that actually helps. The phone system will not support Creative Suite. I NEED this software to reload as I've already missed one publishing deadline and will miss another if I cannot use this software, which, at the moment, seems to be a $350 coaster.
This is the same disc I used to install the software originally. I installed it on my old laptop and used it there without incident until my new laptop came (a period of about two months). I then Uninstalled the software from the old lap top and installed it on the new one, again, without incident. When I found that the icons for switching between tools in Photoshop and Illustrator were so small I could not see them, and they seemingly could not be adjusted within the program, I uninstalled the software, and at this point is when the software would not reinstall on the same computer it was on in the first place. My software is official, on a physical disc, and registered to my account with Adobe. What do I do? I just opened this press five months ago, and I cannot justify a Creative Cloud membership with the amount of work I'm actually putting out at the moment, and especially not with the terrible customer service I have been receiving so far.
Please help.If you never deactivated, and neither did they, then that is likely to be a reason for not being able to activate again. Contact them thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

Since latest update...Firefox will not allow a new page to be opened from a link in a current page. It will allow a new tab to be opened (with tabbed browsing checked) but i prefer a new page. Even in tabbed browsing links to things like a pdf will not work at all.
Firefox WILL NOT close. X-ing out will close the window but I can not get back to Firefox without closing it in task manager.
Firefox will not display my chosen home page without clicking on home icon.Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.
Hello krosebear,

My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?
Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
Good luck and do report back. -
My ipod will not connect to my home wifi, it can see it and asks for a password but will not connect. I have tried it at another location and it will connect to other wifi connections. I have another ipod that is connecting just fine to my home wifi.
- Reset the iPod. nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
