Cannot update QuickTime

I am trying to install the new version of Quick Time and iTunes but the i keep on getting an error message saying that the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTime.Quic kTime\CLSID. key cannot be unlocked.
I have never adited anything with the Registry Editor before and I don't want to mess up my system. Does anyone know how to unlock a key in the Registry? Has anyone encountered this problem before? any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi
The manipulation and changing of registry entries is very risky and its not advisable to change anything if you have no experience or not know exactly what it you want to change.
It seems that the QuickTime application was already installed and has created a registry entry which cannot be changed.
In such cases I would recommend to remove this application by using the option Add and remove programs in control panel. Then after notebook rebooting you could use freeware application like a registry cleaner or CCleaner.
Such programs run through the registry entries and remove all not used or dead entries.
After using this application you could start the installation of the QuickTime

Cannot update quicktime to allow newest iTunes after reinstalling MAC OS X

My 2008 MacBook Pro was bogging down constasntly...I also had only ~25GB left on my 200GB HD (??), so I backed up the whole thing on an external HD with time maching and reinstalled MAS OS X with the original install disc.
After this was successfully accomplished, I accepted the option to re-input all my previous data via the time machind (bad idea?). Anyhow, after innumerable uypdates of myriad software, I tried to open iTunes to update my iPhone4 to the iOS5. iTunes will not open because I get a prompt that says iTunes 10 (the version I was running) needs QuickTime version 6.5.5 or later to run. So I check the QT version and it's the old 2008 version--but all software updates are complete and it will not update to QT7. I've tried everything I can think of, so I'm once again wiping my HD and starting over. Only this time I intend NOT to reinstall all my old stuff from the time machine till I get all the software updated.
Anyone have an explanation why QT would not update? I'm running MAS OS X Leopard 10.5.8 after the reinstall disc is complete. Does the OS X have to bw some version newer to get QT 7? Help!

You really need a bigger drve or far more free space, they don't tell you such, but OSX would relly like 50% free space, but 25% or 100GB will bealmost as good, whichever is greater.
Some MBPs are very easy to change the HDD...
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_15_mem_hd_opt/
I don't really know how to see where all the data was consumed on my MacBook Pro.
Assuming you have Rosetta installed that allows you to run PPC Apps...
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

Slective importing advice would require me to know what you used to back it up with, & TimeMachine being the worst/most cantankerous of the lot... I think you should conder one of these...

Cannot update Quicktime for Windows

I am getting this error message.
Your network administrator has disabled your ability to write to the system directory
I am the only user of my computer and I have administrator privileges. Why am I getting this message?

What operating system are you using? XP, Vista, or 7?

Re: Cannot Update Quicktime

Sorry, the operating system is Windows XP Pro, not Mac OS10.

I have the same problem, did you find a solution?

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 iTunes 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.)

Months later and I still cannot update to IOS 5.1!!!

You name it, Ive tried it. Done all the different trouble shooting bits and bobs, ie uninstalled security, itunes reinstalled ,disabled apple mobile, used a different pc, etc yet still i cannot update my ipad?
I even ventured to my local Apple store and the assistant had the same problem and couldn't help me either!
Is it only my Ipad having this problem? Why can't the Apple people see this device either??
Apart from throwing the thing in the bin does anyone else have any suggestions of what I can do that might work please?
Hoping someone will suggest something that I haven't already tried and will work.
Thanks in hopeful anticipation but i'm not holding my breath........!
Thank you..
Below I have pasted the last thing I tried that still didnt work...
From the Start menu, click All Programs and click Accessories.
Click Run. A Run window (command prompt) appears.
Type msconfig in the Open field and click OK.
If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue. The System Configuration Utility opens.
Click the General tab.
Select the "Selective Startup" option.
Deselect the "Load Startup Items" checkbox.
Note: This step requires disabling third-party System Services and Startup Items, which can prevent some software or OEM hardware on your computer from working correctly. For example, this can affect the CD/DVD control buttons on portable computers or prevent wireless keyboards and mice from functioning. This is only required during troubleshooting to help isolate third-party conflicts with Apple software.
Click the Startup tab.
Select the "iTunes" and "QuickTime" checkboxes in the list.
Click the Services tab.
Make sure that "Hide All Microsoft Services" is selected.
Click Disable All.
Note: If you are troubleshooting an issue related to iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, select the Apple Mobile Device checkbox.
Click OK.
Click Restart. After restarting (and logging in to Windows), a message may appear stating that Windows has blocked startup programs and indicates the Blocked startup programs icon in the notification area (far right) of the taskbar. Click the message.
Click the Blocked startup programs icon, select Run blocked program and select System Configuration Utility.
If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue. A window appears confirming that "You have used the System Configuration Utility to make changes to the way Windows starts." Click OK. The System Configuration Utility appears. Do not click OK here as this will prompt you to restart again. First try to reproduce the issue you were having.
If following these steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one or a few at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict. You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to recur.
Additional Information
If the issue is still occurring with Selective Startup mode, third-party security software may still be operating regardless of the state of Msconfig. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Cannot view quicktime window normal size and still see controls!

Help!
I cannot view quicktime window normal size and still see control butttons (pause, play etc.)
I search this forum and found another previous similar question, but the answer. (To use control+0, which would make it half-size.), is not what I need.
What I need is to have a nice fuller size view, (not the narrow little half-size), but any way i find of doing that hides the controls below the bottom of my screen!
I cannot resize it from any side, except the bottom r. corner, which is hidden with these desireable fuller options.

Update: this was my mistake - I had neglected to configure all the view containers in the WebDynproCO window, which was generated by adding the GP interface to the component. All is well.

Cannot uninstall Quicktime 7.02!!!

Hi,
I cannot uninstall QuickTime 7.02 from my computer. As a result, I cannot access my itunes, because version 6.0 requires QT 7.03!!
Please help!!
Without music!!

QuickTime is a "System" component and it installs hundreds of parts all over the OS.
Safest method to revert to an earlier version is to "Archive and Install" from your original Leopard DVD and then use Software Update to stop just short of 7.6.4.

Can't update Quicktime which won't let me update iTunes...HELP PLEASE!

I have been trying to update to the latest version of iTunes but I can't even open iTunes because my Quicktime isn't updated. So I have tried updating Quicktime and I always get to the very end until it says "cannot save installed files saved in '/' " What does this mean?????
How can I successfully save my installations of Quicktime? I have never had a problem with updating either of those until now...
HELP ME PLEASE!
thank you...

How much HD space do you have left?
Not sure if this matters but, make sure your HD is Journaled.
Repair permissions & then restart your computer.

Updated Quicktime...now Mail won't open

I updated quicktime yesterday and immedately afterwards Mail would not open anymore. It just bounces (usually just once) and then nothing. Anyone know how to fix this or how to revert to the previous version of quicktime?

Actually, I have it on very good authority (Apple
person) that you can install the combo 10.4.6 update
and it will not step on SecUpd 2006-003 components
I cannot believe this. The Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update would certainly overwrite files installed by the Security Update 2006-003 (e.g. Safari). Could this be a misunderstanding? The Security Update 2006-003 does not touch anything in the Mail.app bundle, could this be what that person really meant? I'm pretty sure reinstalling the Security Update 2006-003 is necessary if the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update is reinstalled on a system where the Security Update 2006-003 had already been installed.
Also, I don't think that the Combo will alter the QT status.
EDITED: I agree with you on this, but I'm not sure, so I thought it would be appropriate to be on the safe side and take that possibility into consideration.
I suspect it is the Mail program that got damaged
I don't think so. According to the Console error messages, Mail crashes right upon start up because there is something amiss in /System/Library/Frameworks/.
Not sure QT re-install is needed.
It could very well be that properly reinstalling the QuickTime update fixes whatever went awry in /System/Library/Frameworks/ during the first attempt. If not, then reinstalling the Combo Update will be necessary, indeed.
I'll try installing the QuickTime update myself tomorrow (today here :-)) to see what happens.
Regards.

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

I cannot update my itunes account. when I try to edit information I am getting an error message

cannot update my itunes account. when I try to edit information I am getting an error message

To everyone that is having this problem:
I just ended a 2 hour session with Apple Tech Support. We had to take it to a level 2 support person, but finally got it running. Here's what she had me do. Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Uninstall ALL Apple products on the Computer. This inccluded Apple Mobile Device Itunes, Bonjour and Quicktime. I doubt if we would have had to but she had me download a fresh copy of iTunessetup.exe and run it. iTunes came up and ran on version 11.1.4. Then I reinstalled Quicktime.
It is my personal opinion that there is a flaw in version 11.1.4. You shouldn't have to go through all of these hoops just to update a single application that was working fine proir to the update attempt.
That's what worked for me. Hope this helps you. Any questions, get back to me.
Good Luck.
