Trying to Upgrade Quicktime and iTunes

My old iPod Mini broke. I bought the new Ipod Nano yesterday and thought it would just automatically download my songs from my old Itunes. It said I had to upgrade my Itunes, which I went to do, and as soon as it was almost fully downloaded there was some kind of error. I checked out other posts similar to my question and went to unclick the (waveOut only) in quicktime but it was already unclicked. I think Im getting a different kind of error and I dont know how to fix it. Please help! Im lost without my ipod

k...no i am having the same problem ...check out my topic (author Jyles16) ...is that the same problem??

    @ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
    @ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!) 
    @ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack.  i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot. 
    Thanks fo rall yor help!

  • Tried to upgrade to new itunes and now can't load itunes or quicktime

    HELP! i tried to upgrade my itunes. This upgrade was totally successful. I then had another problem on my computer so i tried to restore my computer to an earlier timepoint. Since I have done this, I can't load itunes or quicktime. I have tried to uninstall the programs and reinstall them but it still doesn't work. I get an error message on quicktime:
    failed to initialize- error-2095
    The itunes error message reads :
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Help- I am going insane with this!!!

    I followed a link and somehow ended up at this post from Mike Hogan3 and combined it with something else I came across. This is what worked for me!
    1)Follow his suggestions for removing quicktime and itunes (at the end of this message).
    2)Then reinstall iTunes from:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    3) Then install QuickTime Standalone Installer from this page (located in the middle right of the page- don't install the one with iTunes!) http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Hope this works! It did for me!

    This might not be exactly the same problem but lots of people (myself included) had problems after installing iTunes 6.0. I did the following and it finally installed correctly.
    I went to
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
    and downloaded the Cleanup utility near the bottom of that page. When it installs on your machine it will scan your computer for every installer every ran on you're machine. Only select iTunes and Qtime and delete those 2 installers. Then I went to add/remove programs and removed iTunes and Qtime. Prior to this Qtime would not unistall but now it did. Funny thing was there was no prompting by windows once I hit "remove/repair" in the "add/remove programs" function.
    Then rerun the iTunes 6.0.1 update. That had been failing to install Qtime prior to this but now it installed and I see all my music again and iTunes works. Let me know if this does the trick, I hope so.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Extremely slow download time for quicktime and itunes

    When clicking to download quicktime and itunes, I get a message saying it will take 10h 10mins to download, even though its only 36MB! I've been trying for a few hours to download from different sites, deleting the old quicktime from the comp and restarting, but to no avail. Does anyone know what causes this problem or how to fix it? All other sites and downloads are working as quickly as usual.
    Cheers!

    It's not fair for Apple to produce a 5gb upgrade with no option to get it on CD instead of download.  Obviously their own servers cannot handle the demand.  The blogs are littered with complaints - not just one ISP but many.
    By the way, apple - did you know that many of your customers have monthly download limits from their ISP?  They're probably going to pay more for the overages than they would have for a CD with the update on it.
    Please change this for the next update.

  • Quicktime and itunes wont install. I have never had quicktime installed on my computer before

    I recently bought an ipod touch 4g and realized that I needed itunes to activate it. After downloading itunes it wouldn't install, no error messages or anything, when I click on the installer it just doesn't do anything.
    After downloading several versions of itunes (older versions) I finally found one that started to install. Then it told me that I need Quicktime on my computer in order for it to install. So I downloaded the latest version of quicktime and had the same problem, when I click on the installer, nothing happens. I tried downloading older versions of quicktime but still had the same problem.
    I have never had quicktime or itunes installed on this computer before, so I know that it isn't an older version of the program hidden in my computer that is preventing the installation from happening.
    My computer is running on Windows 7. I know that there wasn't a problem with downloading the software, the files weren't corrupted or anything. There are no error messages, the software doesn't even partially install. When I click on the installer, nothing happens. I have tried running the programs as an administrator and that doesn't change anything.
    I have tried so many different things, but can't remember everything that I tried. Yesterday I spent nearly 10 hours trying to sort this out because I was determined to get my ipod running. I only stopped when my internet credit ran out and today after buying some more, I am trying again. Please help.

    I appreciate the quick response, thank you for that.
    One thing I did try was windows cleanup utility and searched through the program files for all apple software, but had none. I even deleted the temp files on my computer, and on my internet browser, but nothing happened.
    One thing that I didn't think of was deleting the installation files in my downloads folder, pretty silly of me but I didn't think it would make a difference. I also spent about 2-3gig on downloads yesterday and didn't want to delete the files but as a last resort I did and emptied my recycle bin, then downloaded a fresh copy of Quicktime and finally it installed!
    Now I am in the process of downloading a fresh copy of iTunes, the download hasn't finished yet so I haven't had a chance to install it yet but I have a much better feeling about it this time after deleting all the old installation files from my downloads folder. If Quicktime worked after that, I am sure iTunes will.
    I can't believe it was something so simple as deleting the installation files in my downloads folder and emptying the recycle bin. I had seriously gone through my entire computer looking for any little file that was related to Quicktime or iTunes. I didn't even think of the two most obvious places. I spent so much time and credit downloading multiple files and my computer even got a virus when trying to download a copy from an unauthorized source, I had no problem getting rid of the virus, but struggled with Quicktime and iTunes, that is why I got so frustrated! I feel like an idiot now :-P
    Thank you for your help. I still havent installed iTunes yet, so fingers crossed. I think it will work now though.

  • Quicktime  and Itunes will not launch!

    Both quicktime and itunes come up with errors whenever I try to lauch them. I have tried nearly EVERYTHING and they will not start! This is quicktime error-
    Quicktime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Error signature is BEX

    Interesting. In that case, the errors are probably being caused by the absence of the two files I mentioned earlier. Haven't seen one of those for a while.
    We'd better swap out your existing QuickTime. We'll take a few additional explicit precautions along the way, just in case.
    First, download and save a fresh copy of the QuickTime installer (QuickTimeInstaller.exe) to your hard drive. (Don't run the install online, and don't start the install from the downloaded installer just yet. Use the download option that doesn't mention iTunes.)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Now head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Uninstall QuickTime.
    Next we'll clear away any leftover QuickTime program files or folders.
    In "My Computer" open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
    Open the "Program files" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Empty your recycle bin and restart the PC.
    After the PC restarts, do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Did the QuickTime install seem to go through properly? If so, are iTunes and QuickTime launching for you now?

  • Why is the latest up grade preventing me from going on the internet. I have tried automatic upgrade twice and I have both times had to restore my settings to the previous session to get on the internet.

    Why is the latest upgrade of Firefox preventing me from getting on the internet. I have tried to upgrade twice and both times I have gotten "Can not display this page please try again later" I have tried to open several different pages. Both times I had to restore my computer to previous settings to get on the internet.

    Hi Skydiver119
    Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my problem.
    Yes the purchases were made though my apple id.
    I have looked at a few other questions on this topic and I have read that the app data is stored in the backup file but the apps themselves need to be synced back onto the ipad. Someome has mentioned right clicking on sync my ipad but I don't know where to find that to right click on!! Lol.
    Again, I really appreciate your time and if by any chance you know where I can 'right click' I would really appreciate you letting me know as I can't get my ipad to sync with my pc at all, although it is being picked up in itunes and it has backed up to itunes okay. GGrrr. Maybe I have something wrong in the settings which is not making them compatible?

  • Annoying Problem Trying to Upgrade to new iTunes

    When I try to install the new version of iTunes, I will reach the step where quicktime and itunes is installing with the status bar...and I get an error message saying there is a problem with my windows installer package, that I am missing a program required and need to contact my vendor or service provider....anyone know wuts up?

    I know exactly which problem he is having. I need to fix the same one...First it brings you to a message that says,
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available.Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below."
    when you click OK it brings up this message,
    "The path 'C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update\Packages/iTunes.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' from a folder in which you can install the product iTunes."

  • Missing iCal calenders after updating Quicktime and iTunes

    I updated Quicktime and iTunes yesterday and when I tried to open my calenders in iCal this morning there was nothing !
    Has anyone got any ideas of what happened here and how to avoid it in the future. I do have my iCal events calenders on my iPod so can I transfer them back into iCal on my PB ?

    Hi Mylenium:
    Just as an additional info, when I stated "Apple Forum" I was referring to a suggestion made and publish there by one of the Apple Support guys.
    Thanks for your suggestions. As I stated before, I put the DLL back to the "original" folder, re-started the sytems but I am still getting the AE error regarding a "missing entry on the SQLite3.dll".
    After putting back such file to the original folder now I am getting the "same inital error" I got after the update ONLY in iTunes. I have not dare to move anything with my iPod yet. I do not want the whole thing to become worst that already is.
    In regards to your nest suggestion  "...Another thing I can think of is that you might actually need to unregister the DLL via regsrv, then re-register it somehow to re-establish the proper hooks. Still, quite odd....."..
    I wonder if you cand provide me with the necessary steps to attempt this. I have no experience working/fixing DLL's.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Quicktime and iTunes "quit unexpectedly" when I try to open them

    I'm getting an error message whenever I try to open either Quicktime or iTunes saying that the application quit unexpectedly. The error report (for both Quicktime and iTunes) says (amongst other things):
    Exception: EXCBADACCESS
    Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE
    Thread 0 Crashed with PPC thread state 64
    Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

    Please post the crash report here so we can view it and offer help.

  • Quicktime and itunes will not open error message

    I think their is suppose to be two files (QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx) in the systems 32 folder. But there is a quick.ime also in the folder, do I delete it so that my quicktime and itunes work.

    No, quick.ime is not part of Quicktime. Don't delete it.
    If Quicktime will not open, then iTunes can't work.
    Can you give the Quicktime error message in full, and also check in your Windows error logs or Problems & solutions to see if there is more information there.
    You haven't given your Windows version which helps when troubleshooting.

  • TS1389 I tried all these steps and iTunes still won't let me play songs I paid for... Every time I authorize, it repeats that it's already authorized, but won't play because it's not authorized ... Catch 22

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • Quicktime and iTunes are dead

    I commited suicide, i guess, by creating a "custom" application folder, moving all system applications from their original location to another folder, named by me "aplications", and deleting the original empty aplication folder.
    Don't ask me why , i still don't get it ......:-(
    Then my iTunes and Quicktime died, meaning when i launch themthey do nothing, for ages, untill i have to force quit 'em
    So i returned all of the system applications back to its "original" folder, reinstalled quicktime and itunes but still no go.
    I have installed like 10 non systen aplications after that, and i'm really out of time, do you think i'll have to reinstall the whole system again or there's a workaround to make QT and iTunes back?

    If you deleted the "original empty application folder," how did you then return items to it? Did you create a new Applications folder yourself? Or what?
    At the root level you should have something like the following:
    Applications
    Library
    System
    Users
    The Applications folder in turn should contain all the iApps at its root level. Also when you do GetInfo it should have the following permissions:
    You can: Read & Write
    Owner: system (locked)
    Access: Read&Write
    Group: admin
    Access: R&W
    Others: Read only
    If you now have a root level Applications folder (and it must be Applications, not applications) that you created it could be the permissions are messed up. You can check with GetInfo and see if they match the above. You can try setting them to that yourself. I would also strongly advise you to run Disk Utilities from the Utilities folder (incidently, what did you do with THAT folder in your arrangement frenzy?) and run Repair Permissions. That might get things working again. In future do not change things that the system has done unless you know precisely why it is set that way and what will happen if you alter it.

  • Since upgrade ios  and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad

    Since upgrade ios and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad. I see 'share', when using music app on iPad. I click on it and then select my MacBook Pro. Circle starts goes half way the stops. My Apple TV works great. So iTunes on MacBook must be set up right.  Videos app is similar, the circle just spins and spins. My wifi is an apple airport. I beginning to think I have invested badly. I have signed out and in  again of home share on iPad and MacBook  as advised. I have read and re-read. Is there a solution?

    Hello Gary,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Home Sharing.  It sounds like you are not able to access iTunes from your iPad using Home Sharing.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:
