Disable quicktime updates

In our organization we have installed quicktime. We want disable updates via policy o registry. Is posible?
Thanks in advance

The easy solution, then, is either a) to boycott anything that uses QuickTime (as I do, because the player is so annoying) or b) you could uninstall the Apple Software Update program in the Control Panel in case it's doing the update nonsense and ignoring the preference inside QuickTime not to update.

  • Disable automatic updates for QuickTime 7.3 on Vista

    Is there any way to disable automatic updates in order to do a corporate deployment?
    I've tried playing around with the preference files but no matter what I do it keeps coming up with the update checkbox checked.
    From looking at the posts on this forum it looks like Apple doesn't really care about the free version of QuickTime and that's pretty sad because a lot of people use that to evaluate and then go on to purchase Pro, but I guess you don't pop up on Apple's radar until you pay up. Kind of like MS!

  • Quicktime Updater should ONLY be used to push updates

    From a user standpoint it enrages me that you use the quicktime update application to push the use of iTunes. It is not the role of an update mechanism to push the adoption of other software but purely to distribute updates to existing applications. At the very least there should be an option to never harass me again about iTunes and to only prompt me to update installed applications. Your current practices amount to adware rather than an update mechanism. Put on the other foot, how would Apple react to the idea of MS providing an update mechanism in Office that prompted users to install a mac compatible instance of the Zune software (this is a hypothetical; I realize there is not a OS X zune client)? I don't think that would be seen in a great light by you folks in cuportino.
    From a security standpoint, this is a counter productive approach. Subverting your updater as a means to advertise products and push adoption encourages a subset of users to disable the mechanism and resolve to manually apply updates. You are in essence encouraging a subset of your users to actively disable your update mechanism. Considering the regularity that security flaws are found in quicktime this is a dangerous move.
    I really believe that quicktime is becoming the real player that was so prevelant several years ago; the nagging, invasive piece of software that ignored basic customer satisfaction in the hopes of strongarming adoption. I used to install quicktime on every machine I used; now it is installed on precisely one machine and only for the purpose of watching movie trailers. As Yahoo offers more and more trailers in WMP friendly format the likely hood that even this one machine will keep quicktime is deminishing. Finding all of the icons I deleted from my desktop, start menu, and quick launch bar restored after an update motivates me all the more.
    So at this point I propose Apple decide whether they wish their software to satisfy their customer, or if they would rather just use it as a trojan distribution method to stongarm product adoption. Hopefully it is the former, but at the rate things are going it looks to be the latter and if the anti-customer practice continues I believe you are going to start losing customers. It wasn't WMP that killed real player after all; it was real player.

    Thanks Kyn. I was looking through the standard apple contacts area for some sort of feedback mechanism (which is what my post really is) rather than on individual product pages. Since I didn't find any feedback links there, just support links, that is how I ended up here.

  • Registry key to disable Quicktime 7.6.8

    Application: Apple QuickTime 7.6.8
    OS: Windows XP
    Problem: I need to disable Quicktime from updating across the board. They pop-ups are annoying to my customers and autoupdating is not part of software release process.
    What Registry key stops this app from updating?

    Same problem here. The only thing that fixes this is to revert back to 7.6.5. I have no idea what is causing this. Do you use Squeeze to compress?

  • How to disable auto update for corporate installation

    I've scoured the forums for this information and was not successful locating a viable answer.
    We need to update 1500 corporate clients to the latest version of QT, but we need the auto update feature turned off when the upgrade is complete. We do this for two reasons: 1) Users do not have permissions to run the installer, so even if they wanted to run the update they would be unsuccessful, and 2) we need to test any updates before they are distributed to the general population.
    For past versions we created a QTP file with the auto update turned off, then placed it into the C:\documents and settings\all users\application date\apple computer\quicktime folder. This method is no longer successful.
    Changing the settings for each individual user is not an option, we need a method that will change the setting for any past, current, or future user on all of our computers.
    Any guidance is appreciated.

    Trying to figure out the same thing. I came across the following two links but I don't think they will disable the updates to community help itself. So from what I can gather you need to do the following:
    Turn off autoupdates to AIR (See below)
    Turn off updates to Community Help (No clue how to do this)
    Install Local content (See below)
    Disables updates to AIR

    Turn off internet access/help and copy local help

    Turn off internet access (not sure if you need to do this one and the one above or just the one above)

  • Conditionally disabling record updation after query

    Dear members
    I've a single record block and I wanna conditionaly disable records updation after query has fetched data. Problem is that if I disable the record updation in Post-Query trigger then it checks the condition for the very first fetched record and it the condition is true, then Updation is disabled for all the fetched records, even if the next records dont meet the condition. I'm using forms-10g. Can u give a better solution??? thanx.

    you have to use SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY to modify only one record:
    BEGIN
        IF ... <your_condition> THEN
            SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('YOUR_BLOCK.YOUR_ITEM1', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
        ELSE
            SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('YOUR_BLOCK.YOUR_ITEM1', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
        END IF;
    END;

  • Hi.  Ever since I downloaded the last itunes and quicktime update (a week or so ago), I can't access any video podcasts or movies I have stored in itunes.  iTunes keeps crashing and telling me I have a quicktime error.  Do I uninstall quicktime? or?

    Hi .  Ever since I downloaded the last itunes and quicktime update ( a week or so ago), I can't access any movies or video podcasts i have store in itunes on my pc (vista).  iTunes crashes and my error reports tell me it is a quicktime error.  Do i uninstall and reinstall quicktime, or completely uninstall itunes and reinstall it -- if so, what will i lose?  Help, please!

    Let's try the following user tip:

  • Videos take a long time to open after the last quicktime update

    Hey guys
    Since I've downloaded the latest quicktime update videos are taking a very long time to open. They used to open instantly and now they take about 40 seconds (negligable difference if quicktime is already open or not).
    This is with a Powermac G4 1.25Ghz with 2GB RAM running 10.4.10 and all latest updates.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I'd suggest tracing system activity when this long runtime issue occurs, so you could know where this time is spent (db access ? etc) ... a plain SM50 call in parallel could do the trick if runtime is long enough !

  • Quicktime update fixes arrange

    when expanding the arrange the playhead didn't stay at the same place.
    i was working and in the meantime updating quicktime, after the restart the problem that is around since logic 8 is fixed.
    now the playhead stays where it belongs.
    great!!

    that is freakin hilarious man,
    actually after running updates on my machine, it shows as a macpro quad core with 3 TB hd space, and I noticed a emergence of Apogee Symphony rack in the corner of my room
    just kiddin with you guys, I hope that you are right, but I doubt that the quicktime update has anything to do with anything.
    cheers

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC

  • I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

    I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

    If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model.  Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
    If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

  • Disable auto-updates/Adobe Application Manager

    there is no forum for this - I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 non-CC on macbook pro running 10.8.5 or 10.9.2. I would like to not have AAM search for updates in the background, but initiate the **search** for updates manually. The reason is that I live a bit off the grid and pay quite a lot per minute, and AAM kept the internet connection open the whole night, even though the browser said it was closed.
    I only found instructions for CS5:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html
    does this work for CS6 the same way? I am by no means a system admin but I can replace this AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file. (and keep the original else where)
    thanks.
    edit: why on earth does adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum, when it even asks me to make a screen name first. There is no forum for this either, I guess.

    ... adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum...
    that is gone, thanks.

  • After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. Iran

    After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.

    and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

  • QuickTime Update will not install

    Hi All,
    I ran software update on my 2.3GHz Mac Book Pro today. The OS security update installed just fine, but the QuickTime 7.4.1, ProKit 4.5 Update, and iTunes 7.6.1 will not install. All i get as an error is: "Sorry, An unexpected error occurred" It seems that this is QuickTime related as it seems to be the common thread among these updates (and the os update went though ok). Current QT is 7.4.0 (92).
    I have repaired disk permissions and ran the repair disc function on my OS partition, but i didn't help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    My computer has Final Cut Studio 2, Adobe CS3 web, AE CS3, among other things.

    I'm having a similar, but worse problem. The quicktime update crashed upon install, and now many of my programs don't work.
    - Quicktime crashes when I click on it, telling me to update to a new version (more on that problem later)
    - Windows Media Player gives me an error saying ""Windows Media Player" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "B<WindowsMediaPlayer><Apple;Carbon;Multimedia><CFMPriv_QuickTime>"
    - Internet Explorer does the same shared library error
    - World of Warcraft hangs the computer on a black screen when I try to launch it.
    So, you might ask, why don't I just install the newest version of QT? I can't. When I try it through Software Update, it gets almost completely done, then says "sorry, an unexpected error has occurred. The installer has been moved to the trash. Please try again from the file."
    If I move the installer out of the trash and try to install, it gets to 86% complete, then crashes and says "There was an error installing the software. Please try again."
    If I download the installer directly from Apple's QuickTime site (and I'm installing the version for Tiger that is supposed to be good for OS 10.4.9 and above; I have 10.4.11, so in theory I should be good to go), the same error occurs.
    So, not only can I not use QuickTime, but it appears as though substantial other portions of my computer are inoperable due to the botched software upgrade.
    I, much like the original poster, would be greatly appreciative to hear any suggestions as to how to solve this problem.
    Thanks
