iTunes no Load Problem

T4i

Just taken delivery of my partners Motorola V3-iM, the iTunes version.

No matter what I do I can not get iTunes to load on my XP, I see by googling 'iTunes load problem' that its not just me.....it seems to be a problem with quicktime (something to do with the new version) and I've read that installing a older version of quicktime then uninstalling the whole lot, reboot, install iTunes, reboot, but this does not work for me.

Anyhow, tried all the suggestions I can find and iTunes just will not load up. I can see iTunes flash up quickly in process mgr but it won't stay open. Then I have iTunesHelper.exe and IpodService.exe left running....

Anyone know of any iTunes alternatives?

Also, do I even need iTunes installing? I do remember seeing it running on a m8's p.c and it looked very slow, buggy, nasty. When I plug the V3-iM into the comp I get a new removable disk and inside there are two folders:-

iTunes
mobile

Now I would of thought that just dragging and dropping my mp3's into the iTunes folder would put my music onto the phones memory card but it doesnt do it.

Please help......

Yamipod does not need installed.

It should run from where you extracted it to

T4i

I gathered it wasn't a installer......but still won't run.

Nightmare!
