Quicktime won't update, install, or delete??????

Hi,
My PC is running XP and refuses to update Quicktime. When I try to install Quicktime 7, it gets almost all the way done, and then says, "The wizard was interrupted before Quicktime could be completely installed". I have deleted the registry keys for Quicktime, but when I restart, the Quicktime icon pops up in the system tray. How can this be?
So, what do I do? It appears that I cannot run it, or delete it, or update it????????

so i tried to download the windows installer update from the link you gave me but now i'm getting a different error and it won't let me download the installer. The error reads:
Windows Script Host
Script: C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsl.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject"
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. Please help!

My iPhone 5 won't update/install apps !! Any idea why ?

I own an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2.
They are all not jailbroken and are all running on ios 6.0.1
While my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 have no problem updating existing apps or installing new apps, my iPhone 5 won't update/install apps all !!
To be fair, about 2 week ago, all my iPhone 5 update/install won't work but after a day or two, they started downloading.
But now, my iPhone 5 updates and installations have been stalled for a week.
What is happening ? Can anybody please help ? Thanks.

Okay fixed it:
First of all make a backup and sync your iPhone in iTunes.
Next reinstall your iPhone using DFU mode:
(FIND HOW 2 GET IN DFU MODE ON GOOGLE, APPLE DO NOT ALLOW TO PUT IN LINKS HERE :-( )
Then choose to put your latest backup back on your iPhone.
And voila you should see you now can recieve updates from App Store.
(It worked for me)

Problems since Quicktime 7.6 updater install

Have been unable to open and use my Sims2 games since the most recent Quicktime 7.6 installation via the software update last week. According to Aspyr, the distributor of Sims2 for Mac, this problem was reported last week.
Any news here as to when we can expect a fix/patch/updated download that will correct the problem? It seems to have something to do with being created on a Rosetta program (whatever that is!
Any info that anyone might have would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks - I appreciate the information. According to a multitude of gaming sites including MacFixIt, "We continue to report on a number of significant issues apparent after the QuickTime 7.6 update. The most widely reported issues concern the inability to launch various games and use some system add-ons. Games and add-ons broken Several users have reported problems launching videogames after the QuickTime 7.6 update. Afflicted titles include Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005, Call of Duty 2, The Sims 2 and Roller Coaster Tycoon" (http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20090125215418693)
Not a gamer really, but do enjoy winding down with some Sims2. Was going to try and downgrade (impossible I know) to Tiger OSX but am told I can't do it! I'm going to have to call Mac Tech Support on this one I guess.
Thanks for your help

Update install and delete error says itunes is on a network unavailable. I also upgraded Itunes and now it won't recognize my Ipad touch

I upgraded Itunes about a month ago and since then It does not recognize my Ipod and then I tried to update again and it won't upgrade. The error message says it's on a unavailable network path not found. So I tried to get tech support they told me to delete and start over. I went through my control panel and it gave me the same network error and would not delete the software. I am beyond frazzeled over this. Please help.

Essentially 'b noir' is correct, it will be relating to the .msi file that is, for lack of a better word, screwed. It's a pretty long process in order to cleanly remove and redownload the correct file.
Not really a long process if you can hunt down a copy of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. If you have that installed and working, then so long as you know which particular msi (or msis) are being complained about, you can get past the issue in most cases pretty quickly. For example, for an itunes.msi message see:
error message that I'm missing iTunes.msi.
There's some additional information in my notes on the bookmark about one possible complication requiring a bit more work. (I'm steadily building the additional info on advanced troubleshooting into bookmarks as I build my public Bookmarks, and eventually tag searches on my Bookmark tags should pull up advanced troubleshooting steps too.)

Quicktime won't update, itunes won't open...having no luck :(

I'm getting an error message when I try to download the current quicktime. iTunes won't open without it. The error message is below:
It says "Could not open key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
I tried a link that was posted in another discussion about manually editing the registry and it did not change anything. I still get the same error message. I've actually looked over quite a few suggestions in other discussions (like deleting quicktime all over the place and trying to reinstall it) and nothing seems to work. I finally was able to get the newest version of itunes downloaded. However, when I go to launch itunes it will not open b/c it says that i need the newest version of quicktime (which i cannot download). When I try to download it via standalone, it gives me a new error message similar to the original except now the location is QuickTime.QuickTime rather than QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp. Before I uninstalled QT, I was able to edit the registry for the QT Player LIb and App. Since they did nothing I unistalled it again. However, after I uninstalled it, (and reinstalled just itunes which it finally updated) I tried to reinstall and it would not install because the new error message is the most resent one above... in the registry it will not let me change/save any permissions changes to QuickTime.QuickTime. I've again tried to uninstall it but now QT isn't there at all. I've been at this thing for a week and nothing seems to be working... any suggestions? I would love help!!!!
Oh, and I don't know if this will help at all, but I have an ipod mini from like 2003... when I couldn't get itunes to update at all to the current version I decided to uninstall itunes and my ipod mini... so then i had to reinstall my ipod with the cd software that came with it which also installed itunes... it worked fine and would open... then I tried to update itunes again and somehow i managed to get it to update itunes... however, when i go to launch itunes it won't let me b/c of the version of quicktimes i currently have. Thanks in advance for any help!

My QuickTime won't update

A couple months ago my QuickTime stopped updating, at the time it was no big deal i don't use it for anything important, so when it would update with itunes i'd just not update quicktime and take the itunes update. The error I get says The feature you are trying to use is on a network or resource that is unavailable. It's looking for Quick Time.msi and then there's a dropdown with a Browse button. I have an adobe product to install and it won't install because my quicktime needs to have updated version. I've used the browse to go where my quicktime is installed but none of the folders there will take the update either. When i try to uninstall it says there has to be a program there to uninstall... yet I can double click the quicktime icon on my desktop and start quicktime.. Help i'm chasing my tail

The latest update for iTunes 11.1.3, iBooks 1.0.1, Mail 1.0 won't update/install properly.

I recently installed Mavericks. The latest update for iTunes, iBooks and Mail do not install properly. I have tried updating individually and the Appstore indicates that they're installed. However after every restart the Appstore shows that the same update is available. I checked the applications folder and clicked on the 3 apps to "Get Info" and they're all still the old versions. I've repeatedly tried to update and install and the Appstore history has shown that I've tried over and over again. Any solutions would be appreciated please!

I'm having this same issue, except Mail and iBooks are both installed, but showing as need to be updated (to same version already installed several days ago). iTunes was also doing this until I manually installed it, but the other two still won't be recognized as updated. I did a sudo softwareupdate -i -a and that failed as well. So I did a
sudo softwareupdate -v --reset-ignored -l and showed this update is somehow broken

IPhone 3G -- 4 upgrade; apps won't update/install - verification required?

I upgraded my 3G to a 4. I backed up the 3G, went to the AT&T store, they switched over to the 4. I plugged the 4 back into my PC and restored the 3G backup. I had to re-enter some passwords but otherwise everything was restored.
However, I cannot install or update applications. When I try to do this, it says "Verification Required" and I have to hit "Continue." Then it says "Sign In Required" and I hit continue and enter my iTunes MS password. Then it pops up a credit card screen and it wants my 3-digit ID. I enter that and it Done and it pops up an "Address Verification" screen to pick my county.
At this point it gets stuck in a loop and no matter how many times I pick my county, it clears my entry and goes back to that screen.
I tried logging out and back in on the phone, no luck.
I tried updating from Settings, no luck.
I tried logging out and back in from iTunes, which let me enter all of this information, but the phone still keeps asking for it.
I have restarted the computers.
I have restarted the phone.
Unlike the other thread about this, I'm not using multiple accounts. This is very frustrating and irritating.

i can verify that this abject failure occurs on a 3G iPhone running iOS 4 as well.
do NOT NOT NOT "upgrade" to iOS 4 unless you absolutely must.
i get no requests for verification or agreement to boilerplate.
i get no password prompts.
i have no restrictions in iTunes or on the phone to prevent apps installing.
i have restarted phone and computer repeatedly.
and yet the imbecilic software simply grays out the Apps tab in iTunes/Devices/my phone. it's not even as if it lost connection to the phone - if i rearrange apps on my phone itself, when i reconnect to iTunes the grayed-out App tab reflects the changes. music syncs fine. it just won't let me
sync apps.
oh, and iOS 4 brought back the infernal 2-second delay every time you touch the screen in iPod mode. really effing annoying whenever you scroll in cover flow, or actually just all the time.
it makes me think Apple might actually have become evil enough to sabotage customers' old hardware in order to drive new iPhone and iPad sales. the less-cynical view might be that they're just really busy fixing antenna issues, but you can no longer be sure.

Quicktime won't finish install on Windows 7

I'm running Quicktime 7.7.1 on Windows 7 Pro. Everytime QT 7.7.4 is offered to me by Apple update I try to install it but it never completes for "reason unknown." It suggests that I download and install manually, but that also always fails "unsuccessful." This is probably a minor upgrade, but I've been trying to do it for about six months now and it never completes. I'm just curious as to why? I have the CS6 suite and I know it makes use of quicktime, so I know it's working but why can't I upgrade? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Steve,
The following article may be helpful in getting the latest version of QuickTime installed.

Flash player won't update/install/work/etc.

About a week ago my flash player apparently stopped working.
Sites like youtube, google video, none of these will work because
it says I need to update my Flash player. Everytime I try to
update, the installer runs, IE restarts, and the problem persists.
I have done this over 20 times, and it will not work.
I have used the uninstaller to take flash player off and
reinstall the newest version, but this does not work either. I have
done it at least 6 times with no results. I am running Windows
Vista, and when i run it in Safe Mode it works fine, but not on
normal booting... only safe mode. Are there any known programs or
malicious software that could be interfering with it functioning
properly? Or maybe another suggestion on getting it to work
correctly?

omg I have the same problem too, i swear ive tried almost
everything I can even think of, what happens for me is ill go to
install it and it will show that the adobe flash is trying to load
something but eventually it wont load and just repeats itself into
a loop trying to install it. ive tried reinstalling uninstalling,
playing with the registry, going into the activex folders and
messing around there and i cannot find why it wont let me install
it., I have windows XP home and using IE, but it works good on
Firefox.

After effects cc installs but won't update, install not showing up

I've tried installing AE CC. I'm told it needs to update but I get an error and am assured all will be fine if I close CC and restart. Nope. I uninstalled AE CC and reinstalled, got the same problem. I'm really sick of this kind of basic issue. I'm sure that Adobe's profits are up with CC, but my satisfaction is down. I hate wasting time on this kind of crap.

Hi D\'ohadobe,
Which OS are you using? Specify the error message you are getting.

I can't install iO6 update, it keeps saying an error occurred. I deleted lots and I now have 3.5GB available but it still won't update to iOS6. Any ideas why? Thanks

Hi,
I can't seem to install iOS 6 update, it keeps saying an error occurred. I deleted lots off my phone and I now have 3.5GB available but it still won't update to iOS 6. Any ideas why?
Thanks

9.2.3 is not compatible with Mavericks. You'll need to go to the App Store and download the iPhyoto 9.5 version. It will be free. Move your current iPhoto version to the Trash bin and try the App Store again.
