Some of your Quick time is out of date. You can fix this problem by updatin

I am running Windows XP SP2 with V 7.1.3 of Quicktime. Every time I lauch QT, I get the error message:
"Some of your Quick time is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version."
I have gone onto Apple's web site and got the very latest I can see of QT, and no matter what I keep getting this message. I have 400 PC's in a school district that every time they lauch QT it gets this error. There are 2 tabs "update now" or "cancel". If we select Update now, it doesn't update because we already have the latest. So we just have to do "cancel". Has anyone seen this? Please help.

  • Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem...

    I keep getting this error every time I start itunes or anything that uses QuickTime:
    Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version.
    'Cancel' 'Do It Now'
    If I click 'Cancel', the program seems to run fine. If I click "Do It Now', I get the following:
    Information received from the QuickTime server is in valid. Please try again later.
    I have tried everything and have had this problem since December of '06. Anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

  • Error message "some of your quicktime software is out of date...."

    After about 8 hrs of troubleshooting so far I need help here...please...I have a new ipod touch 3g (32gb) that requires itunes-9 and i have itunes-8. when i try to load itunes-9 i get the same error message about apx. half way thru the install. at the point of install status "initializing quicktime types" the error message comes up: "some of your quicktime software is out of date, You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version" with the choice to "cancell" or "do it now" and I have tried "do it now" many times and other times tried cancell but either way it just ends up coming back many times with the same error message and either freezes the computer or eventually after maybe 15-20 error messages stops but the unstall is frozen. I have already tried uninstalling quicktime, itues, etc and spent 1.5 hours on the phone with Apple support and they can't figure it out. Please help...I appreciate your support.

    Some other application may have installed older QuickTime componentry on the PC.
    First let's have a closer look in your \system32\ to see if we can find any misplaced componentry down there.
    First, in My Computer go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View" tab. Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and that "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked. OK out of the Tab.
    Now navigate to C:\Windows\system32\. (It might be easiest to switch to "List" view at this point.)
    What files or folders can you see in \system32\ with QuickTime in the title?
    (On a PC with a standard QuickTime installation, you should see precisely two files:
    QuickTime.qts
    QuickTimeVR.qtx
    ... and no Quicktime folders whatsoever.)

  • "Some of your quicktime software is out of date" Message

    Hi,
    I have a problem with quicktime for which I would like advice. The symptom is that each time quicktime is loaded or accessed, there is a pop-up message box which says,"Some of your quicktime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." There's a cancel button, which I use nearly every time, and a "Do It Now" button. Note that I am running the latest version of quicktime.
    When I use the "Do It Now" button, I get an error message pop-up which says,"Information obtained from the Quicktime server is invalid. Please try again later." I don't use quicktime stand alone for anything, so I don't really know if it's working OK. It seems to be, but I've not done a thorough testing. The dominant symptom is in iTunes, where I experience lock-ups. I spoke with an Apple technical support person for a while about it, and we (re)did the compulsory uninstall, reinstall stuff to no avail.
    The Apple guy pointed me to an Apple website detailing some methods to fix various problems with iTunes/quicktime. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976) I have tried everything there. One of the things was an experiment to try to detect interactions with other programs. Using MSCONFIG, I did a custom start-up which enabled nothing but quicktime. No change. I have removed (ctrl-panel->add/remove programs...) many of the programs which were installed. No change.
    Questions/Comments?
    Thanks for any info,
    jimmBob

    I just got off the phone with an Apple technician, and we solved the error problem. Basically we just went through my whole computer searching for all quicktime and iTunes files that were left behind. Be sure to check your C: > Windows > System32 folder for ANY and ALL QuickTime files. The files we found that caused the error were hidden in a filed titled "quicktime" in the System32 folder. Make sure you delete it, uninstall all iTunes and QuickTime programs (including Apple Software Update and Apple Mobile Device Support) from the Control Panel, and reinstall the latest files for iTunes and QuickTime and the error should go away.
    Hope this helps!

  • Quick Time files out of date

    Any time I start itunes or use the Apple site, I get a pop up stating "Some of your Quick Time software is out of date. You can fix this by updating to the latest version (then choices of: 'Cancel', 'Do it now')". If I select 'Do it now', I get a second pop up which says "Information received from the Quick Time Server is Invalid. Please try again later."
    Itunes seems to work if I select "Cancel". The Apple site keeps giving me the same popups.
    I have uninstalled, and reinstalled Itunes/Quicktime with no impact. I've tried the "DO it now" both behind a firewall and on an 'open' home DSL line with the same next pop up.
    Thanks for your help.

    I get this exact error message. I've been getting this error message for a long time. I've reinstalled itunes and quick, both together and individually, many times and I have updated numerous times since I began getting this message. Just like the person from the post, I can't seem to figure it out, but it is described accurately. The error appears every time I open itunes or quicktime, and if I click update I get the same second error message. iTunes seems to work fine after the messages, but how would I know if I am missing out on something?

  • "Some of your Quicktime software is out of date" popup

    I must have had an earlier version of quicktime installed on my computer, but I have updated to 7.2, all the patches etc.. And I get this error. I have gone as far as uninstalling all Apple components, deleting all refrences to Quiktime in the regtistry and reinstalling. The same messgae comes up in two seperate popups. The annoyance level in unbeliveable. Any assistance getting rid of these would be appreciated. I saw the question posted on the forum for an earlier release of QT and the fix was to patch it. I have even upgraded to PRO in an effort to get more support for this issue. Any assistance would be great.

    I also am plagued with this problem. In case it helps anyone to diagnose this issue, here is how it started on my computer. It showed up immediately after installing Kid Pix Deluxe 3. During the install, the Kid Pix software said that I needed to install Quicktime to run the program. Since I already had the latest iTunes/Quicktime softare (v7.4), I chose not to install it (the Kid Pix CD had Quicktime 5). When I restarted my computer, it immediately brought up the "Some of your Quicktime software is out of date..." dialog box. Ever since, programs that access Quicktime in some way cause the "...out of date..." dialog to appear. As of yet I have not seen any solution that works; the recommendations to uncheck Flash files in the MIME settings and to uncheck automatic updates did not work for me. Uninstalling Kid Pix and repairing my Quicktime and iTunes installation do not fix the problem either. I have not tried completely uninstalling and then reinstalling Quicktime and iTunes.

  • Your apple id has been disabled  . how i can solve this problem

    your apple id has been disabled  . how i can solve this problem

    Depending on why it's been disabled, you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your device then try logging out of your account on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

  • "some of your Quicktime software is out of date,"  And then the fun starts

    I get the "out of date" message frequently. If I select "do it now", I am usually told "Info received from the QT server is invalid. Please try again later." Occasionally, I'll get a Dialogue Box listing five Quicktime components. If I select Update, I get a message informing me that I don't have authority from the Administrator (ME) and a more privileged user will have to update for me.
    In addition, attempts to use Apple websites and ITunes result in crashes of Internet Explorer. I can navigate thru Safari, though, and my ITouch syncs OK.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes and Quicktime several times but the problems persist, I even get the "out of date" message during the install process. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    That sounds like there may be old misplaced QuickTime componentry lurking about in your system, Jack. Let's go looking for that.
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive your operating system is installed on.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    *If you have a 32-bit Vista:* Open the "System32" folder.
    *If you have a 64-bit Vista:* Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    Yesterday I uploaded Yosemite 10.10.2 thinking it was fixed by now. In Mail, my POP account gets this error message: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk.
    My provider says it's an Apple issue. The gmail accounts are logging in fine. Any help? Something simple?
    Thanks anyone.

    Thanks Csound1. That did work and Mail was able to connect to the internet. Green light status. Is it because of my provider that I may never have had secure connections? Is that an Apple thing or do PCs have the same issues? Appreciate your help. I'll research insecure connections as I am ignorant of the consequences.

    I have the same problem.  Yahoo Sportacular aborts every time I try to open it.  It attempts to load and then the device goes right back to the home screen.  The problem started April 26 after I switched leagues from NHL to NBA. Closing all apps and Restarting doesn't solve solve the problem.
    All other apps on the iPad work fine.  IPad2, OS6.
    Any other suggestions?  I suppose I could delete the app from the iPad and try re-installing it

    No you will not lose your content reinstalling iTunes.
    Do this:
    1: Download and run the Registry Cleaner of the free Ccleaner.

    2: Next follow this Apple document to un-install iTunes

    3: Just for good measure, run Ccleaner again
    4: Reinstall iTunes.

  • HT5137 I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?

    Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons.  If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen.  At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
    Anyway,  I would delete the app and re-install.  If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge.  Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
    Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background.  Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background.  press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking.  close all the apps down.  exit then re-launch the app.
    good luck.

    One more thing. I just update my iphone that my boss gave to me but it seems to be like it giving me some trouble. My iphone was updated not too long and was successful. I try to lock into it and it telling me emergency call. I plug it to my itune and it telling me that the sim card is not valid or supported. So I inserted my sim card that I usually use to call and it still saying the same. Please help me get into it.

    And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
    If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
    If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time.  That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
    If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue.  In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies.  But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
    This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website.  Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles.  In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you.  It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to.  You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
    It's like Starbucks.  You know how to make coffee.  Everyone knows how to make coffee.  And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less.  But you want the convenience.  So you're really paying a convenience fee.  Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.
