*Sigh* iTunes and Quicktime removal issues...

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Long story short - I attempt to carry files from LimeWire over to my iPod through iTunes, it proceeds to shit itself and wipes my entire iPod clean, all 4GB of it. All play lists, all tunes - dead.

 

So I throw shit and scream a whole lot and try to kill iTunes from my computer and reinstall the latest version. However, it wont let me do that because it cannot remove the older version of Quicktime.

 

I've tried everything, going through the control panel, searching and then deleting necessary files etc. Nothing seems to work, it just will not let me delete Quicktime from my computer. The uninstallation wizard goes to start then just dies and disappears, unallowing me to do anything further.

 

Has anyone encountered anything as frustrating as this? I don't even care about the music anymore, I can get that back, I just want my iPod, which was darned expensive and is barely 4 months old, to work.
