Unable to uninstall old Bonjour and Quicktime files on Windows XP

I am frustrated after countlewss futile attrempts to install itunes update.  because system cannot find old Bonjour and Quicktims msi files.

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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
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 Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Unable to open old .avi and .mov files

    I teach and have a number of .avi files that I wish to use in class. These files open and play fine in Windows XP, but which do not open in OS X (10.6.2). It looks like some of these files date from about 1996 and 1997. Under older versions of OS X and Quicktime, I believe I could open these. Please guide me, because I am totally clueless as to which codec or what that I would need for these to work.
    I have installed Flip4Mac, have "Reclaimed" the files to be played by Flip4Mac (Quicktime), and I have tried Quicktime Player 7 as well as Quicktime Player 10.0, Real Player 11, and a downloaded a codec (XviD_Codec 1.0 alpha component, and a player Divx 7. I have tried to set the "Open with" setting in the information box for these files to correspond to these programs, but this and none of my attempts has worked. Surely I am doing this by brute force (no understanding).
    Finally, I have a .mov file that was made under OS 9 using an Alaris web camera. This plays with Quicktime in Windows XP, and I believe it used to play under older versions of OS X with Quicktime. What do I need to do to access this file with the current Quicktime in OS 10.6.2?
    By the way, it seems that Apple eliminated the Quicktime control panel pane. Thus I cannot see any settings for Quicktime. Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Wilson

    Why do the .avi movies from my 8 year old camera play with Quicktime, but I had to use the VLC Media Player to open old .avi files?
    AVI is a file container -- not an audio/video compression format. As such, lime the MOV file container, it may contain almost any valid combination of audio, video, and/or other data. Whether or not a particular file will play is determined by whether or not you have the the required codec(s) installed on your system. Be advised that AVI is a relatively old file type support for which the developer dropped a decade ago but Windows users continue to embrace due to its versatility and the fact there are so many AVI files available for download. Unfortunately, not all codecs have been transcoded for use on the Mac platform, And, some of those that have, are only availaby for use with System 9. Of those that have been made available for OS X, some are not available for Intel platform use. Further, with Apple's current move to update QT technology, things are likely to get worse for AVI users. My personal advice would be to move on to newer, more efficient compression formats having specific/improved file type features and to convert anything you want/must keep to those compression/file formats.

  • "Unable to uninstall old version of Quicktime" - HELP PLEASE!

    I am trying hard to install iTunes 7 on my PC and when running the installer it tries to uninstall the old version of quicktime and it cannot. I uninstalled it manually through the control panel, but it said some parts could not be removed. iTunes 7 still will not install. Is my PC messed up or, though iTunes 7 is released, is it just not at the stage where we want to be installing it? Should I wait for an updated version?
    As well, the iTunes installer installed Apple Updater. I ran it, and it said my programs were up to date, which is not true seeing as iTunes 7 is not installed.
    Please help!

    Just goto the control panel and remove/uninstall all listings for iTUnes AND quicktime.
    Go here at microsoft and install the windows cleanup utility http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
    Once installed goto start>all programs>Windows cleanup
    Remove each listing of iTUnes one at a time, For example if theres 2 or more listings of iTUnes, highlight ONE and click remove, then highlight the seconnd one and remove it ect ect
    Do the same for all listings of quicktime
    Now scan the system for malware with Ewido http://www.ewido.com
    After that disable your antivirus and security programs then head to apple.com to download and install itunes

  • Unable to uninstall old version and install 9.2

    Help!!! When trying to install itunes 9.2 I get a pop up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". It then goes on to say..."Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below". I can then browse to a path but nothing seems to work. When I click cancel another pop up says..."the older version of iTunes cannot be removed". Please help

  • HT1925 I cannot uninstall Bonjour and Quicktime so I can do a complete reinstall of iTunes.  I get an error message stating that both are older versions and to contact technical support.  I am running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.

    I am trying to update iTunes on my desktop (running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3) and I continue to receive an error message stating that the update cannot continue because Bonjour and Quicktime are older versions and to contact technical support.  I have tried repairing both and tried to uninstall iTunes and all of it's componants and still receive the same message.  Any help getting this issue resolved as soon as possible will be much appreciated.   

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot: 
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Sent a 22 MB file and since then unable to receive e-mails and the file keeps "ghosting back" to my recovered messages folder. Help!

    thanks for your reply. I appreciate your taking the time to respond.
    yes, I thought my limits were 20 MB, but I let my client talk me into trying to send it anyway (won't be doing that again). I actually spent some time with the apple tech support person (who was awsome!) and he had me delete some files from my mail folder in the Administrator folder and changed some settings in my mail prefernces.
    Everything is working fine now.

  • How to delete & rename Quicktime files in Windows?

    Hi all,
    I am having a problem to remove(delete) and rename quicktime files in Windows XP pro because it says "*Cannot delete .... It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.*". I saw the same post with this issue in Page 3 in this forum, but we don't get the answer yet. Please give us the answer for it with this quicktime issue in Windows.
    Followings are some answers that I found in other websites, but none of them solves this problem.
    You can't delete those Quicktime movies because they are being used/opened by Quicktime. Run your Quicktime and clear any playlists that you saved and then open a video (that is not in one of the videos you wanted to delete). Then exist the program. Now go delete the videos you wanted to delete earlier and see if you can delete them this time.
    If you have quicktime running in the background, it will own it so you can't delete it.Rebooting may not help because quicktime usually starts with Windows. Go to C: Windows/system32 and scroll down to msconfig.exe. You can open it or right click, hold, drag it to you desktop, release right click, and create a shortcut to it. Open the shortcut (double click), go to the startup tab, and uncheck all instances of quicktime. Reboot and try to do what you want with the .mov file.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    I've been having the same issue here. I've searched high and low for a real solution and haven't found a thing. Any help would be much appreciated!
