Sorry I have not had a chance to work on my computer, been very busy. I have ccleaner on my computer, been using that program for quite some time now. Even though quicktime shows in the add/remove programs, it does not show up in the ccleaner uninstall section. I have not tried to remove the entry from the add/remove programs list, because I really do not see how that will fix my problem. I want to be able to use quicktime, so I would like to be able to reinstall it or use the free codec, either way I have a couple programs that require it for the movies and also a lot of movie trailers that I like to check out use quicktime. Also tried the windows installer cleanup utility and quicktime does not show up there either. I appreciate everyones responses. Thanks

You can run QuickTime movies and trailers on VLC, which is great, and free.

i think i'm ever so close to being able to re-open itunes if only i could delete this one thing: "QuickTimeMusic.qtr". whenever i try to delete the Quicktime folder i get the message, "Cannot delete QuickTimeMusic.qtr: Data error (cyclic redundance check)." everything else in the folder, i was able to easily delete.

also, whenever i try to reinstall itunes or quicktime, it stops right there again, and asks me to verify if i have access to that file, QuickTimeMusic.qtr. please help!!! my older brother is getting impatient with me for messing with itunes and quicktime and not being able to get it back!! how do i get rid of this thing and reinstall the new version (or something, anything!) thanks anyone.

[i've done regedit, ccleaner and even regular uninstall-- Quicktime is pretty much only present in that folder, with only QuickTimeMusic.Resources.]

when you install the quicktime alternative...you will be able to see ANYTHING the quicktime played....without the bloatware and reporting you will not notice any difference at all...its just lighter on your system...

oh ok, thanks happyrck... i'll download an alternative and see if i can open itunes.

I had been using iTunes for about four months on my PC. I have had this PC since 2000 and I have no idea how many versions of Quicktime were installed over the years. Last week I got two iPods. Both iPods require the newest iTunes. Because the new iTunes needs the newest Quicktime, it will not install. The newest Quicktime will not install because it says it cannot remove the old Quicktime.

I have used CCleaner, Registry Mechanic, ZSoft Uninstaller, installing as many versions of the old Quicktime and uninstalling them. I evem tried alternative Quicktime programs and Apod trying to move forward. In the end, I am out $50 in software that did not solve my issues and two iPods that are useless at this point. I could kill Apple for not making a program that uninstalls their own past software. I thought this kind of problem was what MS did, not Apple. Considering the many posting I have found on the web about this issue, I know it is not just me that is having issues.

Any thoughts outside of formatting the harddrive what I can do?

to kev_theobald...please start your own thread...its confusing when two people are using the same thread


to mantooth...is your problem solved...if so what was the solution

[mantooth]

i downloaded the quicktime alternative, and the new itunes opened up just fine, library still intact even though i tried to delete everything apple. (that quicktimemusic.qtr file is still the only thing in my original quicktime folder). i can't say exactly what else works and what else doesn't as i haven't tried anything except itunes yet. kev_theobald, once you download the quicktime alternative, there isn't any configuring necessary, itunes should install just fine and your ipod should work with it. hope it works for you.

[mantooth]

btw, thanks happyrck

[happyrck]

your welcome ...glad it working for you ...don't forget the realplayer alternative...works just like the quicktime alternative.........
