Corrupted Quicktime Program

I currently have a corrupted version of Quicktime that will not allow me to uninstall(something about a file missing). It will not allow me to install my itunes/quicktime program for my ipod. How can I get rid of the corrupted quicktime program?

The uninstaller for QT 6 is unvise32qt located somewhere in C:\windows\system 32. If it is missing the add\remove programs control panel will not remove QT. Then you would have to remove it manually and then go into the registry to remove QT from the add\remove control panel.
Somewhere on the web I read that there is some spyware or virus or something of the sort that is masquerading itself as unvise32qt. So when a anti spyware program is used to scan a computer it picks up on it, and quarintines or removes or whatever it does. Thinking it is the spyware rather than the QT uninstaller, therefore the trouble uninstalling QT.
You could also try windows installer cleanup utility, to see if it may help.

    Many thanks.
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Corrupted quicktime video during backup

    When I tried copying over a quicktime video from one hard drive to another, I noticed that it cause major issues with the videos image and audio. Completely scrambling the video and creating a loud buzzing sound when the video played.
    Here is a still frame of the corrupted quicktime video.
    Fortunately the original video file was fine so I just copied the file over and it was okay the second time, but does anyone know causes this to occur? How do you prevent this from occurring in the future. What is it called when this happens?

    Happened to me once as well. Never happened again but I am a curious sort. Let's see if an expert can help. This reply will give the Q a boost in the list.

    I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error  ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program.
    I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder 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 My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • How to fix a corrupt QuickTime file?

    Hey all,
    Today I recorded all of our church services via iMovie (one long 4 hour clip), as I have been doing for more than a month now. However, the guy running the camera turned the camera off before I told iMovie to stop importing, so iMovie literally trashed the file.
    I pulled the 50GB file out of the trash, but now QuickTime is giving me an error: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." When I open the file in MPEG Streamclip, It says "File open error: unrecognized file type", and I click "Open Anyway". It tries to open it, but sfter 20 minutes, I get the error: "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks".
    Any idea how to fix this file? (That is, outside of paying $150 for this service: http://simplemoviex.com/movierepair/repair.html .) It is not mission critical to have this file, but there was a baptism this morning that I would like to have...

    Hi Janke,
    If you have Time Machine or another backup system that keeps multiple versions, you may be able to work our way back to a version that does not demonstrate the corruption.

  • Help Removing Corrupted Itunes program from Windows XP

    I am using a Imac computer and am also running Windows XP. My Itunes file is corruptes, and, will not work. I have tried to uninstall the program and keep getting the following message stating it cannot delete the program:
    C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\
    Has anyone run into this before? Thanks in advance for any help received.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the replies.
    I cannot do a system restore because of the number of changes made since the installation of the software.
    I'll have a look into the registry but usually I leave it well enough alone.

  • Corrupted Quicktime files

    recently our company purchased a new Intel dual quad with 4 GB ram. We are running Leopard. We have a Kona LHE Card and an AJA Break Out Box for Analog. Right away we found problems were happening but the weirdest problem we have is that everything we do with Quicktime results in corrupted files. Just a basic drag and drop from another hard drive, will result %80 of the time in a file that eitehr wont play or will play but have the pink digital static midway through for a few seconds. When we bring a completely clean Quicktime into FCP, most of the time it will then have digital corruption on one frame or another. When we go back to the original QT file it is clean. If we take a perfectly Clean QT file and try to save as or Export, we will recieve a corrupted or distorted QT File in return. Basically every time we touch a QT file something gets corrupted.

    I don't know how to fix what was already modified, but in Premiere Preferences, there is a box that is checked by default, something about "Write XMP data" or similar, you'll want to uncheck that.
    Thanks

  • Corrupted Quicktime file, CHKDSK issue

    Hi there,
    I have a corrupted/unreadable Quicktime file, so I can't uninstall it or reinstall a new version until I get rid of it or fix it. I'm trying to run CHKDSK, but it won't run on reboot. I went into Task Scheduler, and the log says it fails to run because of "Login failure: Unknown user name or bad password". When I go into the properties of the scheduled task, I have "Run whether user is logged in or not" selected, so I don't know what else to do...

    Hi, bozzah
    I probably can do it.
    I will need two things:
    A sample of your corrupted file and a 10 seconds good recording done with the exact same settings as the corrupted file.
    Drop me an email and I explain you the details.
    Regards, BJ

  • Corrupt Quicktime files from Photo Booth

    I am looking for a Quicktime Repair tool for Mac OS X. Preferably one that can re-write / repair quicktime headers and verify video frame data.
    My 4 year old was making some videos of himself using Photo Booth .. my wife and I happened to discover them a few nights ago and were laughing like mad.. was really cute and funny.
    So you can imagine our disappointment when I logged in today to move them to a safe location, and couldn't see them in Photo Booth. Inside the filesystem, I show a number of .MOV files, but none of them play. Quicktime reports "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." Seven of Fourteen movie files in the folder are like this.
    When I try to open it in VLC I get a more detailed message in the message log (i've snipped it down for the purpose of posting)
    access_file debug: opening file `/Users/family/Movies/kids/Movie 36.mov'
    main debug: using access2 module "access_file"
    main debug: pre-buffering...
    main debug: received first data for our buffer

    mp4 debug: | + wide size 8
    mp4 debug: file type box missing (assuming ISO Media file)
    mp4 error: MP4 plugin discarded (no moov box)
    I loaded the file up in 0xED (a Hex Editor) and the raw file header in the BAD files look like:
    ... mdatftypftypftypftypftypftypftyp....wide....mdat h.......
    while a GOOD file header look something like
    ... ftypqt ....qt ......................wide...smdat h .....
    It looks corrupt to me. I'd like to think that only the header is corrupt, and the video data is still fine ... I was curious if anyone had anything to assist?
    The only other thing I could think about doing was hexediting the headers, swapping good headers for the bad ones (since the videos from Photo Booth share the same dimension, FPS, etc)

    Was this problem ever solved? I've got a similar one.

  • Problem with corrupted Mail program

    This all started because my battery is so weak at this point that if I unplug for more than a few minutes, the system just blinks off....which is exactly what happened while the Mail program was doing something important. When I rebooted, my mail program was completely corrupted.
    Now it hangs while checking mail and registers up to 24 new e-mails, but shows none of them, or simply fetches the same e-mail over and over again in each folder. Then it freezes up while the progress whirlygig thing goes around and around...even if I take a mailbox off-line it seems to do this same thing.
    I disabled some of the mailboxes and found that this erased the content of all my e-mails in each folder that was disabled.
    Meanwhile, it will actually send mail perfectly well.
    If I remember correctly, reinstalling my system software will not fix this problem, unless there's something I don't know about. (These days there are many of those things.) Is there a preferences folder I can trash or something I can do to fix my mail program, while hopefully saving my past e-mails (I can dream, can't I?)? Suggestions are most welcome.
    Thanks so much!
    Jennifer

    Golden Shoes:
    Thanks for the quick response.
    I have a POP account. Several.
    Also, I don't run the computer without the AC. It was being moved from a desk to a table when it shut down suddenly before I could reattach the cable.
    Would the mail preferences be located in the user folder? I tried getting rid of them and still had the same problem. I'm worried about tossing something global out when I shouldn't.
    Finally, if you don't mind, snark never solved a problem. I'm sure you have nothing to prove and if you do, I don't need to know. I simply had a question since I am new to this operating system.

  • Pixelated / Corrupt Quicktime Movie Export

    Final Cut Pro Version 7
    Hey guys,
    So I've finished editing a long film of about 1 hour and 18 minutes. When I use the Export > To Quicktime Movie, my film comes out super pixelated after the first cut in Quicktime X. I suspect the file is corrupt because when I play it in VLC, the first cut plays nicely and then all the sudden, I will get the hypnotic-dreaded-beach ball-of-death, and then VLC crashes.
    Here is a screen shot of beofore the corruption: http://grab.by/ZZT
    Here is a screen shot of when it gets corrupted: http://grab.by/ZZU
    I have tried exporting three times now (which takes hours every time) as a self contained film and also as a non self contained film, and both times the movie gets corrupt after that first cut every time. When I render just parts of it, everything comes out fine. One thing I noticed is the part that works says "rendered" on the render bar and the part that gets corrupt says "full" on the render bar. Normally it should work with both full and rendered video when I export, but I don't know.
    I have tried dumping preferences multiple times, doing Save As... on my prejects and repairing permissions to no avail.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Sorry about that!
    My sources are all shot from the same camera, and are HDV 1080p30 at 29.97 fps. My sequence settings are HD 1440 x 1080 (16:9) with an editing time base of 29.97 fps. The quicklime video settings are HDV 1080i60 (is this the problem?).
    I'm exporting to my boot drive, so HFS+ journaled. Not sure if it matters but it is partitioned with an NTFS bootcamp on the same disk.

  • CS6 corrupting quicktimes unreadable

    Hello,
    We experienced a major bug when working with AE CS6.
    AE will change any Quicktime exported from AVID when importing or opening.
    This will result in unreadable files with the error:
    "this 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported"
    In CS5 the file would open properly without any problem.
    What really makes this issue dramatic: AE CS6 is corrupting the file
    while opening it!
    when you import the Quicktime for the first time it looks as everything is ok.
    Save the project and open it again,-error.
    This destroyed almost all the quicktime footage from a production when someone accidentially opened the project withCS6 where all the clips where linked to.
    What is going on here?
    Thank you very much,

    As Jonas says, we can't and don't respond to every bug report. If you need a response from Adobe personnel, then you need to contact Adobe Technical Support:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact
    Note that there has been an Adobe technical staff member on this thread for a while now, Greg Baber.
    A real person does read and process every bug report that we get through this form. In fact, that person is sometime me---though the rotating responsibility right now happens to be in the hands of one of my colleagues. Similarly, a real person (me at this time) reads every feature request that we get through the same form.
    Regarding this specific bug: We are looking into this and are discussing how we can prevent this problem in the future. For now, the best thing to do is to disable that preference for writing XMP IDs to files on import.

  • Can anyone help me recover a corrupt Quicktime Export file?

    I recently erased a hard drive by mistake. Yes. I really did.
    So I took it round to my computer guy, Les Mannos, in the SF Valley and he recovered the material to another drive.
    It all looks fine and the files are all the same size and the icons are there. So I thought I had dodged a bullet but ...
    When I went to open the only really important file - a 72 gig Quicktime export file - neither FCP, nor SOuntrack Pro, not MPEG Streamclip nor anything would get it to open. It sits there saying that QT does not recognize the file.
    Since the file size has remained the same, it makes me think that the actual track is probably intact, but that the information (wrapper?) is corrupted.
    Can any of you boffins out there tell me if this file can undergo surgery and, if so, who could do it? I can pay a nominal fee.
    Best wishes, and thanks for reading this,
    Harry.

    Sounds more likely that the pointers were recovered, but the area that they'd pointed to was already overwritten. Unlikely that anything can be done at this point.
    VLC will make a more valiant attempt to parse the file if you wanna try it -
