    i cant open itunes cause quick time failed to initialize (error - 2096)

    hmmmm.
    doublechecking something before proceeding ... are any boxes ticked in the Compatibility tab for your QuickTime?
    (i've seen that message produced when some of the Display Settings boxes in there are ticked, not just the compatibility mode one.)

  • Getting Quick Time failed to initialize (error - 2096)

    problems with itunes, again & again & get the same message " Quick Time failed to initialize error 2096.

    That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • I d/l your mozilla firefox today and now I get the error 0x80070002 all the time...how do I fix that?

    I downloaded mozilla firefox today and now I get the error 0x80070002 all the time, and I cannot use system restore because of it. How do I fix that so that my computer works right again. I was restoring because after I d/l your mozilla today, I lost all of my contacts in my msn email...just been tearing my hair out over this and it is soo darn frustrating. Tell me how to fix this.

    Hi,
    The error is totally unrelated to Firefox. Please see [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 this]. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows OS forum] will also be helpful.
    Please also check the downloaded file by right-clicking > Properties > Digital Signatures, which should say '''Mozilla Corporation''' and '''This digital signature is ok''' in '''Details'''. You can download Firefox from a known site like e.g. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    You can try to Reset Firefox which would hopefully display the missing features, all (contacts, emails, settings etc.) of which are actually stored at the MSN site and are temporarily displayed by Firefox every time the site is accessed.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • When I click on itunes, I get error saying Quick time failed to initialize, no matter how many times I uninstall and start over.  What am I doing wrong?

    My itunes account wouldn't open, so I had to uninstall and re-install.  I've done this 3 times with an error popping up everytime that "Quick time failed to initialize".  The message then suggests I uninstall itunes and reinstall.  If I click on Quicktime, independently, it opens right up with no problem.  What can I do?

  • TS1286 getting error 9 every time try to restore iphone 5 crash on me tell me to go to itunes did it on a pc got error -1 so had a go on my mini mac get error 9 all the time

    im update firmware for iphone 5 to 6.1.4 getting error 9 every time try to restore iphone 5 crash on me tell me to go to itunes did it on a pc got error -1 so had a go on my mini mac get error 9 all the time

    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • I have subscribed to convert PDF to Excel and Word, I have followed your instructions and I get an error message all the time.

    I have subscribed to convert PDF file to an Excel or Word . I have followed your instructions to do so but I always get an error message. I have chated with one representative who suggested that I wait 24h before I try it again implying that my subscription is in process. the time span has elapsed and when i try it, I still get the error message. HELP ME or REFUND me the money

    "an error message" really doesn't tell us much.

  • HT4913 I get unknown error (-54) all the time when trying to update Match or Genious

    This also happens when trying to update Genius
    This is a new MacBook Pro Retina with all SW up to date & iTunes 10.6.3
    I also cannot sync to my iPhone or iPad = time out issue when trying to copy musict to the device
    iPhone & iPad are all up to date with the latest version iOS.
    My iTunes library is large = ~110GB & I did move it over from a PC.
    I can not deauthorize my old PC.
    Any clue?

    When trying to update Genius & iTunes Match, I always get this error the same time as iTunes has gathered all the info & has just started sending it to iTunes:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request.
    An unknown error occured (-54)
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later"
    I always get this error no matter when I try.
    I went to the Apple Store & they could not help me even with an appointment
    Their guess is that it has something to do with the SW on this Apple Macbook Pro Retina notebook.
    We tried creating a different iTunes account on this notebook & that received the identical error.
    I did try Genius & Match from a different Mac notebook, but without my library & there is no error.
    This notebook has worked for ~1 hour since I got it new about a week ago & I've had this notebook for 2 weeks now.
    Genius & Match both work on my PC notebook, but for some reason my iPhone or my iPad will not sync. I always get Time Outs and the Sync never completes -> message that the Sync is finishing forever or until I unplug my USB cable.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank You,

  • Time capsule disk goes 'not available' all the time.

    I have a 1 TB Time Capsule and an iMac 24" 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo.
    The TC is connected to my home network with an ethernet cable. WiFi is switched off in the capsule.
    The iMac is connected to the same network via WiFi only.
    If I reboot the TC it becomes available and I can perform a backup to it by selecting 'Back Up Now' from the menu bar item.
    As expected, after the backup the TC Disk unmounts.
    Howvere once it has unmounted it never becomes available again. All future backups fail with a message that says "The backup disk is not available".
    When this happens I can still 'ping' the TC at it's IP address and by name ("time-capsule-dc3c11")
    The iMac is running Mac OS X 10.8.1
    Can anyone help me find out why the TC keeps becoming unavailable?

    Did you upgrade install Mavericks? I think this can lead to all kinds of issues.. clean install the OS is the only way.
    Do a full factory reset of the TC..
    Use all SMB names.. that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    I strongly recommend when you have trouble.. even different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. So you can keep track of where the issue is.
    Also use ethernet.. if you have not got ethernet port, buy a Thunderbolt to ethernet (much the preferred) or USB to ethernet.. if thunderbolt is missing or used.
    Open network utility on your computer and find the listing for the TC.
    ie scan via netstat.
    Make sure you have ipv6 turned on to link local.. this is now essential.
    Use the IP address if it is static rather than name.. and try it in full network isolation by ethernet.
    So Go .. Connect to server.
    AFP://10.0.1.1 (at default IP)
    The default password is public.. you will need to type in a password.
    If it fails the TC could be faulty.
    Use ping via the terminal to make sure the network is working.

  • Why does my time machine backup turn itself off all the time?

    This has happened to me several times that I notice that the icon on the menu bar is grayed out for the backup... I just noticed that again for the 10th time, and that the last backup was on December 30th, but I never turned off time machine.  I was wondering if this was a glich in the system?  Has anyone else has this problem? Never had it before till last year...
    Thanks!

    what has happened before is I look at it and see that its grayed out and when I opend Prefs panel I see that the time Machine has been switched to OFF. Which is very wierd,  I was wondering if anyone has had this problem.  It just happened to me today, I saw that is was grayed out again, and looked the last backup was Dec 30th....
    No, I've not seen that posted here before.
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.  The widget may not go back to Dec 30, so you may have to use the Console app to look at your older logs, per the pink box there. 
    Either way, see if you can find the Dec 30 backup. If it says it completed successfully, look for the next attempt -- if so, copy and post all the messages here.
    If not, keep an eye on it, and the next time it happens, the widget should show something that will help pin it down.

  • Quick Time failed to initialize (Error - 2096)

    Can anyone help, Ive just upgraded to this and tried for literally hours and hours and more or less give up, anyone know whats the score with this??? Any help appreciated guys....

    I had the same problem. It took me a while, but I finally fixed the problem. Here is what I did:
    1) Remove old versions of iTunes, QuickTime, and iPod.
    2) Restart computer
    3) Load latest Window operating system. From SP2 to SP3 (Service Package)
    4) Restart
    5) Load iTunes and Quicktime latest version
    6) Open Qicktime
    7) Open iTunes (I got the same error message!)
    8) The problem lies in the shortcut for iTunes. If you open the properties of the iTunes shortcut and the one for Quicktime. You'll notice that the iTunes shortcut is gray out in the Target area in the otherhand the Quicktime shortcut has the entire link to the program in the C:drive. I know it sounds kind of crazy, but this was the problem.
    9) Delete iTunes shortcut
    10) Open Window Explorer and travel to the iTunes.exc file in the C:drive
    11) Create iTunes shortcut in that folder (right click on the file "Create shortcut")
    12) Drag and drop shortcut to desktop
    13) Open iTunes
    Hopefully this will work.
    Good luck
