Removing Quicktime just messed up itunes. Ooops!

So for some reason I removed quiktime (don't ask why ) and now itunes is sluggish, won't play songs, and browser feature won't work. I tried removing the program and re-installing but the problem remains! Any Ideas?

that's unusual. your itunes shouldn't be launching at all if you've got no QuickTime on the PC. (it should be giving you an "itunes has encountered an error" message every time you try to launch it.)
what version of itunes do you have on the PC? to doublecheck, head into your "help > about itunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom.
in your Add/Remove programs, is there an entry for QuickTime currently showing up?
do you have a copy of "QuickTime Alternative" running on that PC?

I just got the Itunes update. So frustrating. I will be trying methods on this forum to save my library and re-install the older version of ITunes. What was Apple thinking when they developed and released this mess?

Apple is more likely to see your comments if you send feedback via:

=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
    Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
    After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).

Want to remove quicktime and keep Itunes

Hi all -
Quicktime on Windows is one the worst pieces of software I have ever experienced. I just want it removed from my pc, but the problem is that I like Itunes, and Itunes requires Quicktime to run. Is there a way around this?
I have to remove Quicktime because it somehow keeps hijacking my file associations and it breaks flash (read: youtube) every time it does this. After editing Quicktime Preferences this fixes it, but for some reason Quicktime grabs the associations again after every Apple update, which is annoying as ****. Is there any way to remove it and keep Itunes working??

iTunes needs Quicktime to run. The earliest version of Quicktime that the latest version of iTunes will work with is 7.1.6. I'm currently using Quicktime 7.3.1. I can't watch some videos from the iTunes store, but music plays fine which is all I need. Using 7.3.1 also means some vulnerabilities won't be patched. I don't go to sketchy Web sites, and I always use a regular user account for daily computing instead of an Administrator account.

After updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?

Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

Hi abgc,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where iTunes will not open after doing an update, please follow the steps in the article linked to below.

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!
Emachines Windows XP

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!

Both itunes and quicktime just stopped running

Just recently, my itunes just stopped working. At first it was perfectly fine, then it couldn't read anything from my ipod, then it just wouldn't start up. I kept receiving a message "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration". So I went first to the itune discussion forum to try and reset the audio, but there was no quicktime audio tab. so I tried to run quicktime and i recieved this message " Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QuicktimePlayer.exe
This application had requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please Contact the application's support team for more information.

I kept receiving a message "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
Okay. That one is most commonly caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.) So that's consistent with the error that you're getting when you try to launch QuickTime.
So let's try swapping out your QuickTime, as per the following document:
iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes has detected an audio configuration problem

Just upgraded to iTunes 10.6 and now it says it does not support Quicktime

Just upgraded to iTunes 10.6 and now it says it does not support Quicktime. Not much more to add. It's a MacPro running Lion.

Great..
For those who run across this therad and haven't taken the effort to make a backup here is another approach that should work.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

HT4743 I just purchased an iTunes TV show and it successfully downloaded. It is now saying that I do not have the proper version of QuickTime on this version of iTunes (10.6.3). How can a show I purchased be incompatible with the latest version of iTunes?

I just purchased an iTunes TV show and it successfully downloaded. It is now saying that I do not have the proper version of QuickTime on this version of iTunes (10.6.3).
How can a show I purchased be incompatible with the latest version of iTunes?
I want a refund, but I can't even figure out how to request one through support. Super frustrated and long time Apple customer.

After a day of trying, both iTunes and my Apple TV are telling me that the episodes of Scooby Doo I purchased are incompatible due to QuickTime. I still don't understand how I purchased something from iTunes that doesn't work with iTunes.
the exact error I receive when I try to play an episode is the following:
"This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
Any advice would be great!

I accidently deleted quicktime, and now my iTunes 7 won't open

i was doing trying to do disc defragment
on my computer like i do every month but it said
i didn't have 15% free disc space on C:
so i went to control panel -> add/remove program
and kinda deleted my quicktime thinking it was
java (it said last time used was 6 months ago,
even though it was being used everytime i opened itunes).
so i deleted my quicktime, tried to open iTunes.
a box appears saying i need to redownload iTunes.
so i do that, and ever since then when i try to open
my itunes, an error box pops up and says that it needs to
close down (before it even gets a chance to open up).
i'm just really confused because quicktime already comes
with itunes 7, so i think there's some serious glitch
on my computer.
any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

This is an issue alot are facing rightnow because the quicktime bundled with itunes is more "Up to date" for now than the stand alone is. Even when its removed some of its more updated registery keys are left behind.
GO here and follow ALL steps for removing itunes and quicktime, apple updater and ipod updater EXCEPT DO NOT install itunes til you get to the bottom of the page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976

I need to remove ALL trace of iPod & iTunes to upgrade to latest iTunes?

Attempting to upgrade to the latest iTunes, from the one I've been running that I hadn't upgraded for some years.
The message comes back that an auto update isn't possible and that I must remove the old version in it's entirety prior to trying again.
So I followed the instructions on the website here and have removed everything from my c/programs directory.
However there is still an iPod for Windows 2005, an iPod software updater and iTunes itself showing in the Add/Remove programs area of the Control Panel, and when I try to remove these nothing happens. These entries don't even have any info associated with them in terms of file size, but I can't get rid of them.
I have also removed Quicktime.
At my wits end, it seems this stuff is embedded in my PC somewhere and now I have no iTunes and can't download the latest version.
Please help if you have any input, it would really be appreciated.
Thanks, DJ.

This depends on how you have the ipod set to update. You can change the way it updates by going to edit>preferences>iPOd tab
By default the ipod is set to "Auto update ALL". If you goto the ipod tab and check "Only update checked songs" Only songs with a check mark beside them will be updated to the iPod. If you uncheck a song, the next time you update the ipod the song is removed.
You can also goto the iPod tab and set it to "AUto update SELECT" with this option only songs in the playlist you pick are updated. this is very helpful for people with a nano or a library thats larger than there ipod can hold.
"Manual update" is where you manually add songs and delete them off the ipod. This option is usually helpful to people who want to control everything on there ipod or frequently connect there ipod to more than one PC.
You can also go there the sub tabs on the iPod tab and set each to different things, Like leave the ipod to "Auto update ALL" but goto the podcast tab and set it to manual update or the video tab...just whatever you want or need to do

Is anyone else having this problem?
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 just had the same error:

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 just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

Removing Quicktime just messed up itunes. Ooops!
