_iTunes Upgrade…Not So Fast

It is probably because I am on a PC but my experience with an “Apple” product was very much like a typical Windows software installation.  Apple should not talk any more since they are becoming what they make fun of (Microsoft).

My son was visiting a web site that needed the new QuickTime plugin so he downloaded it.  Great.  No problem there.  Then I went on the computer to synch my iPhone with iTunes to get some new music (I know..it is just a really cool phone).  When low and behold I get an error stating I cannot use this version of iTunes since I have a new version of QuickTime.  Ok.  No big deal.

How can I upgrade?  I can’t.  iTunes won’t let me even open it up.  I tried to “repair” the installation and that did not work.  I “unistalled” iTunes, downloaded the “new” version, installed it and everything should work…right?  NO.  Same error.  Cannot use this version of iTunes with the version of QuickTime.  What’s up Apple?  So I uninstalled iTunes AND QuickTime, and installed it AGAIN.  All is fine now.

That sequence of events happens more often than no with Windows software so I am a little taken back by the snooty upity company called Apple that it happened to them.
