Trying to Install Quicktime separate from I-Tunes
Today I did a dumb thing. I was uninstalling some programs that I never use on my computer and uninstalled Quicktime (not realising it was directly connected to ITunes). Now ITunes will not function without it.
The Error Message I am getting is #2093, but that seems irrelevant - I know what the problem is
I have been to the Apple Site and there are heaps of options for downloading Quicktime, but they are ALL trying to re-install ITunes simultaneously. I started the process, hoping it would recognize the presence of I-Tunes and bypass that, but once it took me to the licensing agreement for ITunes again, I cancelled the program for fear of losing my current I Tunes.
Does anyone know if:
a) can I run this installation and NOT lose my current ITunes set up, music, settings, etc. - or...
b) how I can download Quicktime on its own without affecting my current ITunes, or...
c) if I have to reinstall I-Tunes, how can I do this without losing my music.
Thank you!!
My experience with upgrading ITunes has been that I can install the new version and it sort of replaces the existing version. I would doubt if completing the installation would give you bad results. It would probably seamlessly write over the ITunes you are using and you'd never notice any difference (it has always ported over my libraries and all my IPod settings etc. without a hitch).

Error message I receive when trying to install Quicktime 7.3...
I keep receiving this error message when trying to install Quicktime 7.3. I have removed anything Apple or QuickTime from Add/Remove, but at the end of the installation I keep getting this error mesage:
"The older version of QuickTime could not be removed. Contact your technical support group".
I have no clue what to do to resolve the issue and the software is paid for and has been useless for months due to this error. I'm completely out of ideas. Can someone please help me? I have called tech support but after about 7 hours of help and escalations and everything elser, Apple can't even fix it. The unit is clean, COMPLETELY!
Thank you in advance for any help I am given.
Cheers+BTW, while on the phone with tech support, I used the MS tool "Windows Install Cleanup", which I'm sure deals with the MSI stuff.+
Yeah, that's usually most helpful (immediately) when you get your message in conjunction with a missing QuickTime.msi message. The "standalone" version of your message tends to be a bit trickier to deal with.
Lets head back into Windows CleanUp one more time, to check on a possibility.
Launch CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). Are there any mysterious blank lines (or lines containing just a version number, but not mentioning a name of any program) showing up in the list of programs in CleanUp? -

I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.
How do I retrieve or reset the password?
It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications. When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.ShirlFromNC
I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own. -
I had quicktime pro, I upgraded to snow leapoard and installed iLife and lost quicktime pro. How do I get it back. I tried re installing quicktime but it will not let me??
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".) -
I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there -

I recieve the following error message when trying to install Quicktime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory." I just trying to get the latest version of iTunes. Thanks
"Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -

Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X. -
Error about HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE when trying to install QuickTime 7.2
This is the error I receive when trying to install Quicktime: "Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE|Software|Classes|QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp|CLSID. Verify that you have access to that key."
I have manually edited the Regedit permissions to include all, restarted the computer, and tried again... get the same Error message. I have also uninstalled both iTunes and QuickTime first, and used a Windows Cleanup utility.
Thanks, MerberIf you go to Start>Settings>Control Panel and open the User Accounts control panel. Does the account name that is being used to log onto the computer, appear in there as a Computer administrator? Also if you right click on CLSID go to Permissions>Advanced>Owner, is this account name showing up in there?

i recently got iphone 4 , yesterday i was trying to install an application from the itune store it say that i need to authorize it ( i already have an account and bought some apps ) and there was a CLICK HERE BUTTON , when i press on it it take me a to a page that require some kind of activation code or smthn like that ,
how can i authorize the device ?
and btw i bought it from UAE store
IOS 4.3.2You should only make purchases for all your devices using a single Apple ID. There is no need, and indeed a good reason not to, set up a new Apple ID with each new device purchase. While items purchased under different IDs can be played on a single device, you cannot merge Apple IDs and it makes it cumbersome.
Apple IDs do not expire but may become dormant and require reactivation if they are not actively used.
You should make note of your Apple ID and passwords and keep a record of it. Like a bank account it contains access to items with value. Update your Apple ID email address as they change.
I see you were guided to this forum by a help page on recovering your password. If that is not sufficient try the links below. Apple will need to verify you are indeed to owner of the accounts to which you are trying to gain access.
