Removed Quicktime now iTunes won't open...IDIOT!!

I removed quicktime the other day stupidly thinking that I would not need it for iTunes, and now when I try to open iTunes, it says "Quicktime failed to initialize (error-2093) Quicktime is required to run iTunes, please reinstall iTunes."
So I have the iTunes/quicktime disk that came with my iPod, so I could restore them both, but will this delete all the info from songs I had in iTunes? I mean, I have all the music saved in a seperate music folder, but I had gone into iTunes and corrected the names and info on like thousands of songs, is that all lost?
Any help is appreciated, I'm computer ******** as you can probably tell by my stupid move. Thanks!

Thanks, but I tried that as well! When I removed quicktime originally, I had tried to install a different quicktime that my friend gave to me, but turns out it was the wrong one. That's when the problems started, so I restored to Sunday when iTunes was working, and it removed the other quicktime I had put in but left me with no quicktime at all and that's when I started getting the first error message.
I think I screwed my computer up somehow lol I appreciate the ideas!

I tried to re-install and got the following message: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
Does this mean I have now lost everything?

I went to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 and did a complete removal and reinstallation of iTunes. You MUST follow the directions here exactly...it's more than just iTunes that must be removed, and it MUST be done in the order in which the support article says. I followed the exact instructions, and iTunes is back on my machine (no more C runtime error) and you do NOT lose your music...it's all in my library, as it was before.
Good luck!

I ran an itunes update, but now itunes won't open as it says it hasn't been installed correctly. How do I reinstall it?

I ran an itunes update, but now itunes won't open as it says it hasn't been installed correctly. How do I reinstall it?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update. You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time. And of course make a backup of your whole library first. It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates. Better safe...

System Reinstalled-now iTunes won't open

I downloaded the new iTunes yesterday and today had some computer problems and had to go reinstall my system from Monday. Now, iTunes won't open at all, I just keep getting the error "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured." Any ideas of what I can do to fix this?

It did for me. And I wanted to thank the group for the advice!
I was sweating bullets when it was installing. Almost four thousand handpicked songs accumulated over four years. Names, Dates, Album Art, etc.
I just joined to say thanks for the help/guidance!!

Installed v8 and now itunes won't open

I upgraded to V 8 and now itunes won't open. Saying my audio configuration not right. Anyone know how to fix this?

I always backup and archive any and all versions I've used and downloaded, or at least until I feel safe with the current version.
Setting a backup also lets a system be restored to prior point in time.

1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

I ran a System Restore on my Windows XP notebook and now iTunes won't open. It says something about my "iTunes library being created in a new version of iTunes".

I ran a System Restore in my Windows XP notebook and now iTunes will not open. The message: The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. What can I do about this?

Depending on the iTunes settings and where the music is downloaded from, by default, it is stored in C:\...\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\. So, if you need to backup, that would be the folder you want to grab.
However, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes doesn't affect that folder, so if you have to remove and reinstall it you should not lose any music (although backups are always a good idea).
In reinstalling, I'd recommend opening your Control Panel and going into Add or Remove Programs, and removing the following:
1. Apple Mobile Device Support
2. Apple Software Update
3. Bonjour
4. iPod for Windows (if it exists)
5. iTunes
6. QuickTime
Then, restart the computer, and download/install iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. This should ensure that the appropriate version of all related software is installed, and everything is in sync.

Ask your question.stalled 10.5 and update on my G4 PB and now Itunes won't open due to library created by nwer version, How do I get the old version back ? thankfully I don't have anything in it, having deleted everything for room for the new install.

I just installed 10.5 and .8 update, from 10.4xx, Original 10.5 Archived and installed, Now itunes won't, can't open due to "library created by a newer version error message,
How do I fix this ? uninstall ??? reinstall ?
I originally didn't have enough free space to intall the new OS so deleted everything/songs and some podcasts in itunes, backed up on another ipod.that hasn'r been updated so not missing anything, but now can't access\ another new(old) ipod and iphone (and not anytthing now) that wouldn't work on the old OS. due to not having the required itunes upgrade and not upgradeable on 10.4xx
Thanks in advance.

After reinstalling itunes like PowerBloodRespect said, go into itunes on your account and connect your ipod. On the ipod summary tab, uncheck the box to launch itunes when the ipod is connected.
You also might want to go into itunes preferences on both accounts.
On the Device tab, put a checkmark in the box to prevent ipods from syncing automatically.

Switched to a new computer - now iTunes won't open

Hi everyone,
I did a search and couldn't find relevant/helpful information, so I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.
I recently purchased a new laptop that came with iTunes 6.0. My old laptop had iTunes 4.7 on it. I ran a program called PC Relocator to transfer all my files/programs/settings, and instead of choosing manual selection, I let it transfer anything and everything it "thought" needed to be transferred.
Now, iTunes will not open on my new computer. Whenever I try to open it, I get the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" message. I have tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, following all troubleshoot tips both on the website as well as in these forums, deleting all installation programs, all registry information - I even tried reinstalling it with the Recovery CD included in my new laptop, all to no avail.
I would sincerely appreciate any advice or suggestions anyone might have. Thank you all so much!
Antony Merkel
