Cannot find/use quicktime

I've tried to install the newest version of quicktime to my computer but when I run the installation wizzard it says that a newer version of quicktime already exists. The problem is that I cannot find (or use) any version of quicktime on my computer. Also, when I go to the quicktime tab on the apple website I get a popup window that says plugin does not exist. I'm not very computer savvy, so I really need help.
I think the quicktime problem is also why I cannot run itunes (I get a message that says "itunes encountered a problem and must close" every time I try to open it). I've uninstalled and reinstalled these things so many times... I'm out of ideas.

i reckon you've diagnosed the itunes problem correctly.
let's try this first with the QuickTime issue.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Cannot find the QuickTime 7 Control Panel - settings

I cannot find the QuickTime 7 Control Panel. I have QT7 player on my laptop and am trying to enter registration code for QT Pro. I'm running windows vista.

If you're currently displaying your Control Panels in Category View, you'd need to change your view to "Large icons" or "Small icons" to see the QuickTime control panel.
Alternatively, launch the QuickTime Player and go "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" to bring up the control panel.

Cannot Find Compatible Quicktime MPEG-2 Player

Is there a compatible MPEG-2 player for Quicktime 7.1.6 running under Windows 2000 Pro? All support for this O/S seems to be non-existent.

Your QuickTime version is correct for your OS and you should not try to update that version.
The Apple Store sells the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20) but it could be it is not compatible with that older QuickTime version. It was recently updated and maybe the older versions were removed.

Use the free player found at the link above to view your MPEG-2 files.

Can't find the Quicktime application...

I have FinalCut Studio and because of a glitch had to reinstall everything and cannot find the Quicktime player application anywhere!

Use Spotlight to locate the app.

Finding "Use previous headers and footers"

Working in Word Processing, and I cannot find "Use previous headers and footers" (I need to uncheck it.)

You need to be in the second or later section of your document to de-activate that feature. Usually, if not always, things are grayed out because they don't make sense in the current context.

Using Quicktime Conversion

I can't find "Using Quicktime Conversion" from Final Cut X. Can anyone tell me where to find it?

Choose File->Share->Export File. This will use Quicktime to export in one of several possible options; like Tom said, the options are somewhat limited.
If you need a different export, then create a Master File, and use MPEG Streamclip to export that with the settings you want.

How do i unistall quicktime if i keep getting the installer note of: the feature you are trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable. i cannot find Quick Time.msi file anywhere. so i cannot uninstall or re install quick time

the feature you are trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable. i cannot find Quick Time.msi file anywhere. so i cannot uninstall or re install quick time
any suggestions please??????

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

I cannot uninstall or install itunes. error is 'trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable'. I cannot find path to any folders containing installation package itunes.msi.

Can anyone assist me? Thank you so much

Should the advice above not fix things for you...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Premier Element 9 cannot find quicktime components

I have this problem that has really been bugging me. I purchased Premier Element 9 so I could edit hd .mov files and export to .mov.
I have installed the software and have made successful movie edits and exported to .avi files. However, if I want to export to .mov I do not ahve the option. It just says: "cannot find quicktime componants" :-( I have the latest quicktime installed and I even have the pro version and quicktime works jsut fine and it's definitely the latest version. Just did an update this morning.
How can I get premier elements fir find the quicktime componants that are already isntalled in my computer?
My computer OS is Windows XP.
I can edit my .mov movies just fine but at present I am stuck with exporting to avi such as I have on this page here:
http://www.spaghettisauceandmeatballs.com/spaghetti_sauce_and_meatballs_videos.html
I'm happy with these but really would like to use the .mov export and maintain my HD quality.
Thanks for the help. Tony

Hunt,
Sorry for being wordy on this but will try to explain my progress or lack thereof.
First, if you launch the premiere elements 9 downloaded.exe file you do not get an option to repair, only "The InstallShield Wizard will allow you to remove adobe Premiere Elements 9."
I went through MANY different scenarios/possible fixes last night, spent a LOT of time on this; too much really.
One thing I noticed was a file association issue with .mov files. So thinking that the .mov file association might be a conflict with the premiere elements .mov export I did the followoing:
I had the .mov files associated with the VLC player (VideoLAN), because that player is 10 X faster and plays everything! Great player! I tried to re-associate .mov file with quuicktime but the icon would not change, however file association was successful, i.e., you double click on a .mov file and quicktime plays the movie. So to make sure I had the quicktime icon associated correctly, I to un-installed the VLC Media Player.
After uninstalling the VLC Player, the windows media player icon showed up in explorer associated with .mov files even though the .mov files are associated with quicktime. Then, even though when you look at the files in explorer and see the windows media player icon for the .mov files, if you double click the .mov file quicktime plays the movie. I did complete reboots after uninstalls as well.
So then I did a repair on Quicktime and the quicken icon association was corrected. I was excited thinking this would do the trick but no such luck. Still no .mov export option. Grrr….
So then I uninstalled and reinstalled quicktime just to see if I needed to install quicktime after the install of premiere elements. But after re-install of quicktime, premiere elements still did not have the .mov export.
Then I started noticing in the upper right of welcome window or premiere that I could see the files that were loading during the launching of premier. Now I know the culprit!
Seems to hang up on ....loading "exportquicktimehost.prm" - then get the error message: “dynamiclinkmanager has encountered a problem and needs to close.", then I click on don't send and I get the error one more time then click on "don't send" again and then premier opens and everything works fine but it just can't export to .mov WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART AND WHY I BOUGHT THE SOFTWARE. UGH! I was getting the “dynamiclinkmanager has encountered a problem and needs to close." Before but I thought that was connected to the organizer and was ignoring it and was not making a connection of that with the .mov export.
You know what’s funny? I researched “dynamiclinkmanager” trying to find out what it is and there are many sites that say it’s a virus and tell you how to remove it but it’s a file create by adobe systems but many see it as a virus. Funny!
So I uninstalled premiere completely and reinstalled, still same problem.
PREMIERE ELEMENTS 9 HANGS UP WHEN TRYING TO LOAD EXPORTQUICKTIMEHOST.PRM.
This is definitely the problem, the program runs smoothly during launch and you can see all the files loading away then it gets to this annoying "exportquicktimehost.prm" file and you can see it hang up on this for a while and then you get the pop up error: "dynamiclinkmanager has encountered a problem and needs to close". Then if you cancle out the error the program runs and all works fine except for the .mov export.
So I did a bunch of searching on this error; seems to be a firewall issue in many cases. Many different adobe products seem to have this problem, not just premiere elements.
My firewall was already turned off. I checked around just to make sure other third party blockers were not the problem. I have Netnanny and webroot spyweeper/antivirus running at all time. I turned these off completely and launched premier elements again but still same problem.
I am at a lost and frustrated. I find myself seriously going through this list of alternative mov video editors
http://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ and giving up on premiere completely:
So, any ideas on the "exportquicktimehost.prm" / "dynamiclinkmanager has encountered a problem and needs to close" errors/conflicts?
I guess it’s not time for the wine yet :-(
Thanks, Tony

My iPad shows a message "Cannot find AirPrint printer". I used to use my iPad to print materials using HP wireless printer D110. Now it does not want to print. Is this because I am now using IOS 7? What should I do to solve the problem? Help please.

Restart your WiFi router and printer by removing power for 30 seconds.

Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7. Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work! So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to easily, and when it does it can never connect?

I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work! So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to find wifi, and when it does find a wifi network it can never connect? You think apple would have a clue how to fix it! Because turning the wifi on and off doesn't work, resorting network settings doesn't work, even restoring phone to factory default doesn't work...

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Cannot Find Photos on External Hard Drive Using iPhoto and Time Machine

Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting on this forum and am really hoping for some help! I have a 2006 PowerBook G4 that is running iPhoto and Time Machine, and I've used an external hard drive to backup everything on the computer via Time Machine. When I plug the external hard drive into my newer 2010 MacBook Pro, I follow this path to try to access the photos:
     External Hard Drive > Backups.backupd > PowerBook G4 12" > Latest > Macintosh HD > Users > Me > Pictures > iPhoto Library
When I click "iPhoto Library", I get the following message:
     "The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library."
So, I do as the error message says and I hold down the "option" key and iPhoto launches and says:
     What Photo Library do you want iPhoto to use?
In this case, I choose "Other Library..." and again follow this path:
     External Hard Drive > Backups.backupd > PowerBook G4 12" > Latest > Macintosh HD > Users > Me > Pictures > iPhoto Library
When I choose this, I again get the following message:
     The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library.
So as you can see, I'm feeling a bit like I'm chasing my tail in trying to open these photos. I did follow another user's advice and confirm that all photos are infact on the hard drive by using the "control" button and clicking "iPhoto Library" under the pictures folder, and choosing "Show Package Contents". All looks to be in tact in the "originals" folder when showing package contents, however, I just can't find a way to actually view the photos in iPhoto. I really don't want to import all the photos to my current MacBook Pro, because I'd like them to live on the external hard drive (which is formatted for Macs) so that I can browse the photos on the external drive, rather than housing it on my computer.
One other thing I tried was opening iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and going to File > Browse Backups... which essentially opens Time Machine and shows me the photos on my MacBook Pro but gives me no option to view them from my External Hard Drive.
Any super users out there willing to lend me some help?
Thanks!

The iPhoto Library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Relaunch iPhoto with <option> key held down to choose another   library.
You can have an iPhoto library on an external drive and use it from different machines
and you can have a Time Machine backup
The two can not be on the same volume - and iPhoto can not access the TM backup - it must be restored to use it
