Unable to install new version of quicktime

Ive tried to install the new version of quicktime but windows tells me that "it cannot uninstall the older version
of the program". Went to add and remove and deleted the older version. No quicktime files remaining in the windows system 32 folder. Have disabled all virus, spyware and firewall programs, in fact have disabled all programs in msconfig startup tab. No quicktime folder shows in windows explorer. Show all hidden files marked. I am system admin. on my computer. Have deleted the contents of the temp folder and the trash bin. Still the same error. This also prevents me from using the newer version of itunes.
Please help as I have been at this for quite a while now

I have had a ipod for a long time and now suddenly i have to download a newier version of itunes and QuickTime. So I tried to but it won't work.

  • Unable to install new version of itunes

    I am unable to install the new version of itunes. When I download the new version w/ QuickTime, part of the way through the installation I get an error, the installation was interrupted, please reinstall later, click finish to exit. When I look into my programs, QuickTime has been installed, but no itunes. This problem is new today as a couple days ago I was able to install it, but every time I did, my DVD/CD Drive would disappear. I have had to run several system restores. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Download windows cleanup utility from microsoft website and uninstall itunes + quicktime. Then go to apple.com/quicktime/download and download quicktime with itunes save it on your desktop then run it. It should help

  • Installing new version of quicktime

    Hi,
    I am trying to install a new version of quicktime. when I get to the end , it says that an older version is installed on my computer and can't be removed. contact your technical support group. How do I rectify this?
    thanks

    QT is without a doubt the most difficult and troublesome software to install on a windows operating system. Your best bet would be a search of the discussions forum, to try and find a solution that may work for your computer.
    Anyone that purchases a Apple device should just return it, you should not have to go thru problems getting it to work

  • Unable To Install New Version of iTunes (iTunes.msi problem?)

    fyi, i also have an iPhone
    error message:
    the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes.msi in the box below
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\
    This is as far as I can go in the installation of iTunes, so I am also unable to get the new iPhone firmware update.

    When you get this network resource message, you usually need to do an installer file clean up.
    Here is a method for removal of iTunes with installer clean up:
    == uninstall with cleanup ==
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete and file or folder called Quicktime.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • Unable to install new version of Nokia Software Up...

    I opened NUS today and was told there is a new version available. I accepted downloading it, however the installer at one point gave the message "Error 1714. The older version of Nokia Software Updater cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.".
    What I tried to get around the problem (with no results):
    - I followed this procedure; after I ran the MSI file, I ended up with a very similar error message about an older version not being able to be uninstalled
    - used Nokia PC Suite Cleaner, and manually deleted the files that were unable to be deleted by the program
    - cleared the temp folders
    - restarted my computer
    Can anyone suggest what else I can try to make the NSU installer work?

    If you have installed Microsoft Installer v4.5 (WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe) then uninstall it. Use good uninstaller to uninstall that HotFix because Windows inbuilt Add/Remove programs does not show this HotFix as installed program. Try this and tell me the result.

  • Unable to Install New version of iTunes due to Bonjour.

    Okay, I was trying to install the new version of iTunes for my ipod nano w/camera i just bought. While i was downloading, i had to download a newer version of Bonjour. When i tried to it said " Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed." I have heard that some people have had the same problem. How do i fix this?
    P.S. I tried the Windows Installer thing, and it said something like 'Access denied' and i was unable to download it.

    By the way, i know someone already started a thread on something like this. But it has not worked for me.

  • Unable to install new version of app without deleting old one first

    When I get a new version of an app from my developers (with ad-hoc provisioning), if I just drag it to iTunes and then try to sync with my phone, the app does not make it over. Itunes/iphone dont realize that the new version needs to be installed. I am forced to delete the app from the phone first, and THEN doing the sync. This works, but of course this method loses all the the app data each time.
    Is it possible to upgrade an iphone app in-place while preserving the old data? If so, how?
    Also, I find that I have to delete the app from itunes as well before dragging the new version in . Otherwise the old version gets installed again on the phone.
    Thanks in advance
    Jay

    This may be something unique with the ad-hoc provisioning used by your developers since the same is not required when installing an app update via the iTunes app store.

  • Unable to install new version of firefox 3.6.14

    can download latest version of firefox using ei, but when I try to install firefox a window pops up say 'unable to install until the running copy of firefox is closed. Check Task manager & there are no tasks running. Now do i get over this problem!

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Unable to install new version of LCCS navigator...

    Anyone able to get it to install? Keeps giving me errors

    This is a related post:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3653241
    Basically if you have an old version of the navigator (before May 2011) and are trying to update to a newer version you should uninstall the old version and install the new version from scratch. The problem is related to a change in the certificate required to sign the AIR app (Adobe policy) that made the two versions incompatible.
    If you dont have the navigator installed and/or have a reasonably new version please post the navigator version and possibly a screenshot of your error. "Gives me error" is not really very helpful

  • Itunes error 7 Unable to install new version of Itunes on Windows 7

    I am stumped. Have tried to install the latest iTunes download on my PC (Windows7), have tried everything to get it to work. Uninstalled all Apple programs, disabled my anti-virus... so frustrating! Have been trying for a few hours and do not know what to do.
    It looks like there is an error with the iTunesHelper

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • HT1926 When Installing new version error is quicktime cannot uninstall old version

    When trying to install new version of Quicktime, I get a error message that quicktime cannot uninstall old version. This also affects Itunes to work. Get Message Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I think not having quicktime working affects my Itunes from launching.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" 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 QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I am trying to reinstall iTunes but everytime I try to reinstall it, it is telling me that I can't because I have a newer version of Quicktime installed. The problem is that I cannot uninstall this, please help.

    I have just purchased an iPhone 4, but it wasn't connecting to my iTunes, so I took advice and uninstalled iTunes. But when I am trying to reinstall iTunes, it keeps telling me that I cannot because I have a newer version of Quicktime installed. I cannot find this newer version anywhere, and have gotten rid of the Quicktime folder, but it is still refusing to install iTunes.
    Please help, I have tried everything.

    But when I am trying to reinstall iTunes, it keeps telling me that I cannot because I have a newer version of Quicktime installed.
    That's usually caused by damaged QuickTime installation configuration information on the PC.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Can't install Itunes 9.2 "Newer Version of Quicktime"

    I got a new itouch last week. Worked fine. Then went to update software to new OS (maybe Apple could have put this on a brand new one instead of older OS?!). Message said i needed Itunes 9.2. Went to update and got error "newer version of quicktime installed" and that i can't update since iTunes needs Quicktime. Tried several approaches, no luck. Deleted Itunes for a fresh start and then this wiped the Itouch clean which i had not at all intended. But, despite this exact same error message. I have been working on this and have used various uninstallers and searched the registry, cleaned temp folders, compressed and defragmented the hard drive. Downloaded Chrome, tried manually installing Itunes using Apple Software update, etc etc etc etc etc. Same message. Do i need to wipe the hard drive? Does anyone from Apple have any idea what to do? All message boards i have seen indicate that they do not.

  • Newer version of Quicktime (allegedly) installed

    Hi All,
    Can anyone give me an idiots guide set of instructions to solve this problem? When I try to re-install my iTunes, I get the message that I have a newer version of Quicktime installed but I have wiped (as well as I can) any trace of quicktime from my laptop. I know this involves downloading msicuu".exe (?) but where to get it from and what to do with it once I have it are beyond me!
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction,

    Not sure what instructions you've seen so far, Dave. But here's my standard set of instructions for a quicktime.msi problem nowadays:
