Cannot open nor remove quicktime from my computer

Cannot open nor remove Quicktime from my computer.
Quicxktime is installed but when I try to open a mp3 file using quicktime my Windows installer tells me that Quicktime cannot be found.

Windows installer tells me that Quicktime cannot be found.
Is that the QuickTime.msi that can't be found, robert?
If so, 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? If so, does your QuickTime Player launch 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.)

  • Cannot open imovie in Quicktime from 10.1.x i Movie

    I made an imovie project on a 10.1.x mac, saved it to my flash drive and then went home to Tiger 10.4.11, Quicktime (7.4). I couldn't open the .mov file I created on the other Mac. It said it was searching for FadeIn 01 and Gravity 01 files (two affects I put into my movie) but could not find them and would not open the file. Is there anyway to get this .mov file to open?

    You saved a "reference" file instead of "self contained".
    When you moved it off the host drive you broke the reference (files not found).

  • I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

    I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
    Thank You

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

  • When i go to sycn my ipod, it says that it cannot sync due to a missing file. Is there a way to remove itunes from my computer and redownload it without losing all of my stuff?

    Can I remove Itunes from my computer totallty abnd reinstall it without losing my media?

    Do a backup of your iTunes library files first to a external hardisk. (ie all your music files)
    Go to this Apple download for iTunes 9.2.1,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    You just need to download and re-install.
    If your iTunes is earlier than 9 series, the library folder location need to be changed.
    or let me know your iTunes version and I sent you the website
    I wouldn't recommend the Latest iTunes 10.5.2, if you are not using iPod Classic 160GB late 2009 version.

    Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera.  Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

    Bruce,
    When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
    http://www.luminous-landscape.com
    I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com
    I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
    The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
    I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
    I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
    Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
    Good luck,
    Rob

  • My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M.  Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing.  Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

    My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M.  Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing.  Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

    That's Windows malware, so it cannot be infecting your Mac. It probably is on your computer as an email attachment. To remove it, see:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-remove-infected-files/
    Also, note that BitDefender is pretty bad at detecting Mac malware. I would recommend removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information about protecting yourself from malware:

  • Cannot open file in QuickTime Pro

    I recently installed iTunes and QuickTime Pro on my computer. I would like to put some DVD's that I own onto my iPod, but when I put a movie in the DVD drive, I cannot open it through QuickTime Pro. I tried uninstalling both, restarting the computer, re-installing both, restarting, and still I cannot even play a movie through QuickTime Pro.

    QuickTime pro doesn't display the MPEG-2 file format (DVD's) without third party software help. Apple sells the MPEG-2 Playback Component for $20 but it does not allow playback of commercial (Hollywood CSS encrypted) DVD's.
    Visit the iPod discussions pages for more answers.

  • Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

    Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

    iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
    If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

  • Babylon addon installed without my consent. I want to completely remove it from my computer, but how ?

    I was trying to take a download but MediaGet and Babylon appeared to self install. I have removed most of these but the
    Babylon addon can only be disabled. I wish to remove it from the computer altogether, and cannot see how.

    Thanks for that, but after I tried it I still had files and a folder on my system which linked to Babylon. Eventually I had to search the registry, which I am never happy about. It is all cleared now.
    Incidentally I do use Revo Uninstaller which usually does a great job.

  • Remove it from my computer??

    Please explane to me how to uninstall a program I downloaded SCYPE and for the life of me cannot remove it from my computer?? Thank You in advance for your help! Ed

    not sure about those particular apps but most apps that use installers put other stuff on your computer besides the application itself. they often install launch daemons, startup items, preference panes and other stuff. to get them out cleanly it's best to use uninstallers. you usually can also do it by hand by searching them out using spotlight but that can be tricky.

  • Remove AdChoices from my computer how do i do this procedure

    I have spyhunter4 i tried everything there program says to do to remove AdChoices from my computer . there tech e mailed me and said to go to your web site and use firefox please tell me how to remove this annoying adchoices from my computer PLEASE help thank you for any and all your help in this matter expert-123<i></i>@outlook<i></i>.com

    If the support article is too overwhelming, you could start here:
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. ''If you are not familiar with how to find this, use the search box on the Windows 8.1 charms bar.''
    After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the programs by date. Scanning down the list starting from the most recent may help in spotting unknown items. ''Don't be fooled by seemingly innocent or important names if you do not remember choosing to install those programs.'' Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Back in Firefox, open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?

  • RE: removing "quicktime" from my System Preferences?

    I have removed/deleted every quicktime from my computer except the one located on my "system preferences" page. How do I delete that one? Thanks for your help. George

    Niel,
    Thanks for the advice. I did as you said but it was not located there. All the other ones were there. I must have a "ghost" figure showing up after deleting all of the other quicktimes. Now, how do I get rid of the "ghost" figure? Thanks for the info! George
