Received fol error: application can't start because QTCF.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. W/ my server it took 4 hours. Is there a quicker fix?

This occurred immediately upon completion of install. I really don't understand since I once used itunes with this very same operating system and was able to make purchases and roam about in the store. I have purchases that I've not yet moved to my devices and now can't move about. Should it be this difficult to use itunes?

This procedure might work or might not work:
Download the free Ccleaner and repair your Registry (repeat until clear)
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
Uninstall iTunes according to Apple's directions here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Use Ccleaner and repair your Registry again just in case.
Then download/install iTunes again from the Apple website
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Your iTunes content will not be removed,
Please regularly backup your iTunes content to external medium (hard drive, cd/dvd's) using the File>Backup Library in iTunes. Apple will not reissue new copies of content.
(Notice: this post is a copy/paste in a hope that a uninstall/reinstall and repair of your Registry may solve your particular issue, Windows issues are particular difficult to resolve due to multiple factors, so my advice is to be taken into advisement with others recommendations which may be more specific or experienced in resolving your issue.

  • ITunes will not open, get error message 7(windows error 126) this application has failed to start because d3d9.dll was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem. well i did and did not fix anything.

    this application has failed to start because d3d8thk.dll could not be found. I looked that file up and it seems its part of directx. i installed directx again but that still did not help.

    d3d8thk.dll
    That one is a DirectX 8 module and might not be included in the most recent DirectX 9 redistributable available from Microsoft. If it's been installed as part of a partial DirectX 8 install (as part of a game for example), that can cause the issue. Can you track down a full DirectX 8 redistributable? If so, if you install that, does that clear up the iTunes error?

    Do a clean reinstall.

    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. Apple has posted a way to fix and you should follow their's first. I finally got to upldate correctly by doing their fix but with one difference. I did the following:
    1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replace)
    2) Restarted computer and still got error message
    3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
    4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not specifically put in their fix but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
    5) Restarted computer.
    6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
    No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try. Even updated my ipad to make sure everything was working.

  • 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 I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but now seem to have lost everything and can not access my library at all. Instead i keep on receiving the message 'Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. I cannot access

    I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but failed half way through. It suggested that i reinstall we I tried. However, i now get this message which states "Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem"
    I have tried this but with no success. I have therefore found that I cannot access my iTunes library at all now.
    What should I do.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • 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.

  • 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?
