Quicktime causes buffer overrun and does not work

I just tried to update to Quicktime 7 (7.0.4). It installs fine.
When I visit the movie trailers page on Apple.com
I try to play a clip and I get an error message that says buffer overun (trying to play keynote address in wuicktime application)
or an error message that says plugin performed an illegal operation and then it crashes my firefox browser.
It seems there are a lot of bugs with quicktime 7, I have tried standalone downloads of 7.0.3 and 7.0.2, they don't work either.
I have tried installing in safe mode and the installler will not work. what next?
do I actually have to reinstall windows to get it to work or do i have to go through the hassle of manually attempting to clear all of the clutter off of the hard drive and tinker with registry settings and try again?
Is there an explanation from APPLE to rectify these problems or will I just have to give up using your product?
Is there going to be a fix or is apple not supporting quicktime for windows anymore?
Too bad version 6 was messed with. It worked perfectly.

I'm having the exact same problem, since the upgrade this week.
iTunes does an immediate shutdown when it’s clicked. No errors are reported.
I automatically thought of Quicktime and when I clicked on it, I get a immediate shutdown as-well, but in Quicktime’s case I get an error window that states “Buffer Overflow error”.
I’ve tried to uninstall Quicktime from the Add/Remove programs in the Control panel. It flashes, does not report any errors and appears to be removing the program (Quicktime). But, when all is finished Quicktime remains in the Add/Remove programs list and it has not been removed.
Just to see what would happen, I installed Quicktime all by itself, and then tried to removed it VIA Control Panel. Same experiences (Quicktime remains in the Add/Remove programs list and it has not been removed).
I’ve removed iTunes a couple of times and tried to re-install (using defaults). Same problem exists (i.e. ‘Buffer Overflow error’).
I reinstall DirectX. Same problem exists (i.e. ‘Buffer Overflow error’).
Can Quicktime be removed manually? (i.e. delete files\directories, and Registry edits)?
Or is this just a nightmare to perform?
Does anyone have any other thoughts I can try?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

    As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
    But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement.  That is not necessarily true.  Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is.  They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. Depending on how many user helpers are on-line, it may take several hours, or longer, to get a response.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

    My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.  This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook.  It doesn't happen when I use a different computer.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here. 

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • Quicktime plugin for screen capture does not work in flash player 11.2

    Hello,
                   I have created a quicktime plugin (it is .component file) for screen sharing purpose.
    I have used quicktime framework for that. plugin is detected in flash player.
    This plugin is working perfectly for flash player 11 and below.But,
    It does not working in latest flash player 11.2.
    I have seen following error on console -
    Google Chrome Helper EH[240:e92b] *** QTCaptureSession warning:
    Session received the following error while decompressing video:
    Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-8974
    "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -8974.)".
    Make sure that the formats of all video outputs are properly configured
    Note - Compression format used in plugin is kBMPCodecType.
    Please, help me.

    The issue ended up being the change in resolution to my external monitor. Flash was unable to detect the proper coordinates of the color I was trying to select because I was running my monitor in HD mode rather than selecting an actual resolution from my monitor preferences. Changing the settings to an acutal resolution, instead of generic "HD mode" fixed the issue.
