15 GB disappeared on my HD after updating quicktime

Hey, I updated to the last version on quictime yesterday and after that I realize that the free space on my HD went from 111 GB before the update to 96 GB after !
I check quictime which is only 53MB.. Don't you waht to do... I also realize that the used space on my HD is equal the to sum of what's on it (i.e. HD used space is 137 GB whereas Applications + Documents + Pictures + Music + System + Movies is 122 GB.
Can anyone help about that?
Thanks in advance
Barbara

Hey Ray, thanks in advance for you help !
I don't really know what happened, my iMac is running under Tiger 10.4.11. I updated quicktime to the 7.4 version. Iknow that before the update I had 111 GB free on my Macintosh HD. After the upload I restarted my Mac as I was asked and shortly after that I realized that my Mac HD had only 96 GB of free space. I don't think that this is something I downloaded (I'm currently in Madagascar and the internet connection is so slow that it'd just impossible for me to download 15 GB), I even don't know if this has something to do with the quicktime update which was something like 50 MB. I was not doing anything else besides the update. I don't know what you mean by checking in System Profiler (I use Moniteur d'Activité, as I'm french and my Mac talk to me in french !..) Moniteur d'Activité says that I have 136 GB used and 95,7 GB free.
I remember I also downloaded a widget about forex USD/Euro rate but it was a very small file, about 300 Ko.
What is very odd is that in the finder, when I read the information about my Macintosh HD it says the same thing as Moniteur d'Activité.
But when I look into my Macintosh HD I have 4 files:
Applications : 4,95 GB
Library : 10,57 GB
System : 1,9 GB
Users : 101,13 GB
The sum of those 4 is 118,55 GB
So HD : 136 GB used
Inside HD 118,55 GB used
Meaning that more than 17 GB are somewhere I don't know....
Well hope this help....
Rgds,
Barbara

I updated iOS 7 and my contacts were ok then they suddenly disappeared a few weeks after updating. I have no idea if it has anything to do with iOS 7 but when I email someone the contacts are there. When I open the app they are gone. What happened?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Missing iCal calenders after updating Quicktime and iTunes

I updated Quicktime and iTunes yesterday and when I tried to open my calenders in iCal this morning there was nothing !
Has anyone got any ideas of what happened here and how to avoid it in the future. I do have my iCal events calenders on my iPod so can I transfer them back into iCal on my PB ?

Hi Mylenium:
Just as an additional info, when I stated "Apple Forum" I was referring to a suggestion made and publish there by one of the Apple Support guys.
Thanks for your suggestions. As I stated before, I put the DLL back to the "original" folder, re-started the sytems but I am still getting the AE error regarding a "missing entry on the SQLite3.dll".
After putting back such file to the original folder now I am getting the "same inital error" I got after the update ONLY in iTunes. I have not dare to move anything with my iPod yet. I do not want the whole thing to become worst that already is.
In regards to your nest suggestion "...Another thing I can think of is that you might actually need to unregister the DLL via regsrv, then re-register it somehow to re-establish the proper hooks. Still, quite odd....."..
I wonder if you cand provide me with the necessary steps to attempt this. I have no experience working/fixing DLL's.
Thanks and regards,

G3 with OSX3 having problems after updating QuickTime

Recently updated a G3 with 10.3 and when I did the software update, it had an update for QuickTime and when the machine restarted after update, it sat on a grey screen. Tried restarting with extensions off and got nowhere. Computer worked fine until the update. Any ideas?

You may have to start the computer from the Installer disc, with that disc
in the optical drive and hold the C key down, so as to access the native
Disk Utility as found in the Installer's menu bar options. From D.U. you
may be able to attempt to Repair Disk. And also may as well run the
Repair Disk Permissions as seen there in the First Aid section of the
Disk Utility; direct your attention to the Macintosh HD as shown in the
utility's left-hand sidebar, by clicking on that name to do these.
Usually it does help to use Repair Disk Permissions (from the computer's
Disk Utility; shortcut is to use GO in Finder menu bar, see Utilities Folder,
and then find Disk Utility in that folder) before and after each update or
any/all software installations. Was the 10.3 system updated to 10.3.9 and
disk permissions repaired at each step? There are several others items
that get installed for 10.3.9 not referred to in Software Updates until the
Combo 10.3.9 file is installed. Several older items are not needed if the
last Combo is arrived at first; but all Java updates, last security updates,
and then items such as Quicktime. Adobe Flash & Shockwave players
and a modern browser such as Camino (Mozilla) are advised as well.
IF the system has failed, you may be able to see if you can reclaim any
thing (if any) from the hard disk drive by use of FireWire Target Disk mode
in that Mac, and it may be accessible through a second Mac & FW cable.
There is a chance there is a hardware issue behind this matter. In fact,
depending on the history of the specific computer and whether or not it
previously had OS X installed, what version, and if it required a Firmware
Update to be applied prior to running OS X, the fix could be involved.
Good luck & happy computing!

I've updated to IOS7 now app updates wont disappear from screen even after updating

I have updated to IOS7 on my Ipad and Iphone. I've noticed now that when i get a notice that an app needs an update, I tap the "install" button and after the update is finished the "install" icon changes to "open". Problem is that even if i tap the "open" icon, the app opens has it should. But when I return to the "app store" icon under updates the app I just open still appears on the list and still has the "open" icon visable. Use to be once you updated an app it would dissapear from the update list. I know have a list of 7 apps all updated and showing the "open" icon on my Iphone 5 and 13 on my Ipad. I've tried shutting down my device and restarting, yet they still show up on the list. Is it just me, have I missed a setting or something? How do I get rid of updated app showing up on my update list?

I've had the same issues since iOS 7 was released last week. Sometimes my iPad' App Store icon's badge shows I have 3 updates. When I enter the App Store to update them, there are no updates shown. When I back out of the App Store, they are no longer shown on the iPad's App Store icon. When I again enter the App Store, only 2 updates show up. It's all very inconsistent. Rebooting, restarting, etc all do nothing. I believe the issue to be on Apple's end.

Why has the airplay symbol disappeared from ipad 2 after update?

I responded to an IOS update request and now the ipad 2 does not show the airplay symbol. Both devices are on and connected to the wifi. Switching both on and off has not resolved it. It seems t o be a well known problem but this non tech savvy guy cannot fix it.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device.

Why did the Mozillza Icon disappear from my Desktop after Updating to 6.02?

Updating Moz Firefox to 6.0.2...Update began installing on Firefox and Chrome...Firefox completed...Chrome was lagging behind..so I stopped it @ 60% as I do not care about Chrome...Firefox Icon on Desk top deleted...

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

AAC Encoder Broken After Update to Quicktime 7.6

I have iTunes 7.3.1.3 and Quicktime 7.3.1.70.
After updating Quicktime to 7.60.92.0 every thing seemed fine. However, trying to import songs using the AAC encoder causes an error: "The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file".
I can import songs using the other encoders just fine; it's just the AAC encoder that doesn't work. In fact, converting any existing library tracks with the AAC encoder causes this error - not just new new tracks.
After a little web searching I found others with the same problem after updating to Quicktime 7.6.
So I uninstalled Quicktime 7.6 and reinstalled Quicktime 7.3. Problem solved.
Anyone else have this issue, especially updating to Quicktime 7.6 only with an earlier version of iTunes?
I have never had an issue updating Quicktime separately from iTunes before.
At this time I do not want the aggravation of updating iTunes too.

Does it have to do with the fact that I installed quicktime 7 when I already had the 10.6.3 update?
Yes. Install the update again or this software.

After updating to system 7.2 the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

After updating to system 7.2 on my MacAir, the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

Not with 10.7.2 but with OSX Lion since it was released.
Apple has hidden the Library folder by default.
In Finder option-click Go in the menubar and it will appear under Home.
Or permanently with this Terminal command: chflags nohidden ~/Library

Text in purchased book disappeared after update

I just updated my iPad to 5.1.1 and iBooks to 2.1.1. After updating and synching to my iMac, I opened a book that I had purchased one month ago and had been reading. All the text had disappeared. I had nothing but blank pages except for the title page and the table of contents. I went to purchased to try to download it again but the "purchased" tab was grayed out. I couldn't find a way to activate it. I tried resetting by holding in the sleep and on/off buttons for 10 - 15 seconds but it didn't change anything. I tried re-synching with my iMac -- my books are backed up on it -- but that didn't restore the text either. Can anyone help?

Did you delete the book before you tried to download it again?
In bookshelf view - tap the edit button - tap on the book and then tap delete. In list view - swipe across the book and the red dlete button will opo up.
Perhaps quitting iBooks completely and restarting the iPad would help as well.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.

After 3.6.10 all add-ons disappeared and a search for updates showed none needed. How do I get them back?

I am running on a Mac OSX 10.6.4. After updating Firefox to 3.6.10, a few add-on disappeared. Specifically, Delicious, 1Password, Stumble ON and Buckts. I looked for updates and none were available. I've run through the view menu and preferences but can't find an option to restore these functions. Do all these add-ons need to be updated to be compatible with 3.6.10 or is there something in the update that wiped out these views.

Add-ons that worked in 3.6.9 and earlier versions of 3.6 should also work in 3.6.10.
The first thing I would try is to delete the files that store details of installed add-ons. If one of those files is corrupt it can cause problems with add-ons not being listed. For details of how to do that see the corrupt extension files section of the [[Unable to install add-ons#Corrupt extension files|unable to install add-ons]] article.
