System32 and Quicktime.cpl error message

If I try to run Quicktime from control panel I get the error
An exception occurred trying to run C:\\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RUNDLL "C:\WINDOWS\System32\Quicktime.cpl", Quicktime
When I try to start off desktop, my harddrive just grinds a little, but Quicktime never starts up. Nor Picture viewer. Only thing that works is 'read me'. Running latest QT with XP, IE7, Nvidia Geforce, Dell 8200. I can view movie trailers and demo on Quicktime.com no problem.

i've got the same message when i try to go to the MIME settings in the browser tab. When i copy the file quicktime.cpl from C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem to C:\Windows\System32 i dont get the error. But when i try update my quicktime software i will get the error again.
I found this problem because i want to play a hd trailer on a website in firefox. But when i try it ask for plugins that i must install. When i click on that it cant be automatic installed, so i must to it manual. When im redirected to the apple page for manualy installing quicktime, i try to install it, but it seems that firefox dont see that quicktime is installed. I still get the message about plugins.
Maybe it has a conflict with the error about quicktime.cpl
btw, when i get the quicktime.cpl error, the quicktime windows close by itself.

    Hi curliejo, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    In your situation I would recommend the steps in the following article for troubleshooting iTunes. It may be necessary to completely remove and reinstall iTunes in this situation. Be sure to remove all of the components with iTunes in the correct order as outlined in the article before installing fresh.

  • TS2830 Sync for IPod Touch quit working and I get error messages "a session could not be started" and "a connection could not be established" although the IPod appears in ITunes.

    This is a new problem for an IPod Touch  I have had for a year.  The IPod is hooked up by cable and appears in ITunes. I can examine all the content on the IPOD  and I can click "sync".  It goes through to Step 7 and then the error messages occur.  First "a session could not be started with the IPod" and when that dialogue box is closed, the message "a connection could not be established to the IPod."

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

    My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

    2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
    Is yours the original ipod touch?

  • I just downloaded itunes and get an error message (-3212) when I try to connect to the store.  I have an hp pavillion using Windows 8.1

    i just downloaded iTunes for my Windows 8 laptop and get an error message when i try to connect to the iTunes store (-3212)

    Hello Steve,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.  I recommend the following steps for error (-3212):
    "Error 3000" through "3999"
    Alerts with codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try removing the proxy settings, or using a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

    You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
    If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install.

  • Trying to sync iPhone 4 with itunes and get an error message PLEASE help

    I am currently using and iPhone 4. This morning I had synced my iPhone with itunes and it was working fine. I came home and wanted to add some music and such to it and all of a sudden i will plug it in to itunes and i,t looks like its going gets to step 2 of 6 (which is the back up process) and then an error message comes up saying itunes has stopped working, my only option to do is exit the window..
    Any ideas why this would be the case? its really frustrating me. I am also not the most computer savvy.
    Thanks

    Try reinstalling iTunes  http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If that doesn't help, if you are using a Windows based computer, could be your anti virus software or your firewall that's preventing the sync.
