Do not update Proapps Quicktime Codecs 1.0.4 on Mavericks

Hi there,
I'm on a nMac Pro, 12 core, 64GB RAM Mavericks 10.9.1 and the latest versions of AE and Premiere.
I recently (today) updated my Quicktime proapps codecs from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4 at the prompting of Apple updater and it has broken AE and Premiere.
The Adobe QT32 server does not respond once either of these apps are opened and when I try to save my project in AE, the save dialogue gets to about 50-80% and then I get the spinning wheel of death, the system freezes up (although not completely, I can still move things around a bit and the clock still ticks forward) and I have to hard restart.
I'm on the phone with Apple Care right now trying to figure out a way to revert back to 1.0.3.
Any help with that process would be appreciated. I can't find Proapps Quicktime codecs 1.0.3 anywhere on the web.

"At this point do you think the problems are related? In other words, would the same problem have occurred if you did not install the ProApp codecs update?"
I think that's a safe assumption. I have a 100% motion graphics comp that I've been working on that AE chews through pretty easily in multicore, it think it's just not digging the ProRes. I did have a mograph comp that AE was chewing through, but not anymore :/ This was on my internal drive though, soooo. . .
There may also be an IO component at work here as well. I'm not working off internal drive on the Mac Pro, rather a USB3 external and I was reading and writing to the same drive. I'm going to try writing to the internal and see if that doesn't alieveate things a bit.
So now it's just spinning wheels of death all the time. I'm trying to view a single frame in the comp panel after adjusting and replacing some footage in a screen fill pre-comp and it's just hanging. I've pressed caps lock to try and free it up, not working. Nothing is really working.
I've adjusted the RAM settings, allocating more RAM to background processes. I've probably hard restarted my machine twenty times today.
I'm turning off multicore completely. What a let down today was.

How can I check to see if my version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 already has ProApps QuickTime Codecs installed? I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I'm asking because my computer can't seem to play ProRes 422 codec video without stuttering or skipping?

I have a fairly capable MacBook Pro (2.93 GHzIntel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1TB HD -5400 rpm, so I am hoping it's not that my computer that can't support it and it's something more simple like not have ProApps QuickTime codecs installed. Thanks in advance!

If you can view a ProRes 4-2-2 video at all, then you either have the independent ProRes422 Playback component installed or the FCP "Pro" video components installed.

Check your "~/Library/QuickTime" folder for your various "Pro" components. If in doubt that you have them all, re-run the FCP installer and it should add any missing components, apps, or utilities.

ProApps QuickTime Codecs v1.0.2

This update won't install:
"ProApps QuickTime codec can't be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating JavaScript for the package."

HERE is the solution sent to me by another Apple Community supporter:
I also had a similar problem to most people here. Cannot playback XDCAM files after upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I called Apple who suggested a fresh install of Snow Leopard without upgrading the 'ProApps QuickTime Codecs 1.0.3' and copy the contents of the Library/QuickTime form the fresh install into my QT library. However, I decided to seek the file(s) that is the cause which is the AppleHDV.Component file. I copied the faulty one to my desktop (so I had a backup) and downloaed:
PerianXDCam.component.zip -> PerianXDCam.component
PerianHDV.component.zip -> PerianHDV.component
from this website: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/mcfa0086/discretecosine/164630.html
Once unzipped, copy into the Library/QuickTime folder and this should solve your problem, until Apple and Sony resolve this issue.

Hi, ProApps QuickTime Codecs installers

Whenever I try to install the ProApps codecs I get a message saying sys 10.6 or later. However on the download page it says for 10.5.6 or later / QT 7.6 or later (Im 10.5.8 / 7.6.9)
The page as the screen shot says is for proapps qt codecs v 1.0.1 but when I go to install the Pkg, the disc image says 2.0.1
Even when I go to a third party download site, again it says Im downloading 1.0.1 but get the 2.0.1 instead.
Does anyone have a solid link to the 1.0.1 version?
Or better yet Im just looking for the XDCAM codec.
I have these .mov files
I actually tried playing these files in VLC. I get the vid but no sound, in QT I get the sound but no vid. In itunes same as QT, sound but no vid.
I downloaded a product called Calibrated{Q} XD Decode. The files play great but without buying the product ($89) there is a watermark on the vid.
Thanks Rob

Any problems? ProApps QuickTime codecs 1.0.2

I'm running Mountain Lion with Final Cut Studio (FCP 7) as well as After Effects CS5...
ProApps QT codec 1.0.2 update... Before I install it I wanted to see if anyone was having any issues with older software once updated...
If you're running what I have and the codec update didn't break anything let me know!
Thanks!

Thanks Michael, but I just configured the updates to ensure nothing I didn`t want was installed , and this change of Pro apps installed himself, I did not choose it. And now I can not work with my HDV videos. Do I need any specific codec? Can I erase the last cache of pro apps installs and updates on my computer?
I only want to know how can I continue working...
Thank you.

IPOD will not update? quicktime error? READ

For a long time i have been unable to put new songs onto my nano...on one of my computers when I plug my ipod in, it goes on as normal saying "Updating iPod. Do not disconnect." And i think, ok, its putting the new songs on..but when i go on my ipod it hasnt put any new songs on. I have tried reinstalling, updating ipod etc....HELP?
On my other one it wont even start up itunes, it says "You have installed quicktime 7.0.2 or something . You need 7.0.3 or later, and when i try and install new quicktime it wont install at all...HELP!!!!!

OK since we are talking about 2 PC's, We'll tackle hte one with Quicktime issues now, then tackle the ipod issue later using one of the PCs.
Now on the PC with quicktime issues, goto control panel>add & remove and uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then disable antivirus and any security programs and download the latest iTunes from apple.com and install it. If during the install you get any error messages post the error here.
Once this is done we'll decide which PC you mainly use with the iPod and fix it

ProApps QuickTime Codecs

I would like to install these codecs to capture prores. The system is 10.5.8. All download links (even the older ones) lead to ProApps 1.0.2 wich do not run on 10.5.8 (it shows on the website that they do, but they quit installation with the info the you need 10.6.x.
Can anyone tell where I can get an older version? (fo.ex. 1.0.1?)

Nope, they're gone from Compressor 4. Hang on to Compressor 3.4. Apple really trashed Compressor 4 into a barely usable transcoder, not pro at all, most all of the Pro codecs are gone. ProRes is in it's own catagory inside the Apple folder. Of your list, it's the only one left. I've no clue what Apple was thinking.
AVC-Intra and MPEG IMX were never in the Compressor 3.5 library (I'm looking at it right now), but the rest used to be.

QuickTime died after ProApps QT Codecs update to 1.03. Help

Just installed ProApps Quicktime Codec updates to 1.03. Now Final Cut Pro and Quicktime won't play any video. The screens are blank. What gives??? Can this update be reversed? We are on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Is there a migration upward solution? Frustrated.
Thank you.

As noted earlier:
Something in the 1.0.3 ProApps Codec update appears to have broken the XDCAM/MPEG decoder for users running Snow Leopard (10.6.x). Sony is discussing with Apple to see if there is a fix. At present the only possible workarounds are updating the OS or reverting to a backup that does not contain the latest update...
Thanks for the confirmation, StevenEsq.. We are seeing the same thing here and are speaking with Apple re the possibility of a fix.
It was replacing the QT folder that brought the decoder back to life. The XDCAM plugins all utilize Apple-supplied codecs even though XDCAM is strictly speaking a Sony format. Installing the Sony plugins only adds FCP Sequence Presets and import/export/re-wrap capability. It does not put the codecs onto the system.
Hope to have an update on this soon..

Quicktime codecs for reading XDCAM footage

Recently updated the software on my Mac Pro tower (circa 2008) and now Quicktime only plays audio of XDCAM footage, but not the video.
Quicktime plays regular mov, mp4 and mpeg videos just fine so I've isolated the probem to just XDCAM 1080 24p footage.
I think the codecs for reading XDCAM footage were lost or overwritten during the update, is there any way to reinstall or retrieve them?
If not what are the proper codecs for Quicktime to play XDCAM footage?

I also had a similar problem to most people here. Cannot playback XDCAM files after upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I called Apple who suggested a fresh install of Snow Leopard without upgrading the 'ProApps QuickTime Codecs 1.0.3' and copy the contents of the Library/QuickTime form the fresh install into my QT library.

Issues with Quicktime in Mavericks. I cant export to quicktime codecs in After Effects Or Premiere

Hi,
I recently updated to OS Mavericks. And in the beginning I really liked the update, but I recently fired up my After Effects CC and Premiere CC to work on some animation videos I had to produce for client. And when I wanted to export my animation. I could not find my Quicktime Codec settings like. H264, Mp4, Apple Pro res or any other quicktime codec. I read some articles on issues with Mavericks/Qucktime and this export problem in After Effects and Premiere. But I could not find a solution. It used to work on 10.8.5!
I tried this... But it did not work ;-(
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktim e-files-in-after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quick time-component.html
I tried to uninstall perian. But did not help at all. They even discontinued the product.
Does anyone else stumbled on this problem? Or maybe has a solution? I thought of downgrading to 10.8.5 But that is not ideal because I don't have a Time machine Backup from that period or earlier. And otherwise I have to collect all my data, emails, pictures etc. I seriously could use some help!

After uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Adobe CC suite and all QuickTime components I was still dead in the water. I then tried another User account on my computer and AE and AME worked perfectly with fast startup and all QT/H.264 components in place. This established the problem was in my main User directory...
After some backing up, I deleted all Adobe and com.Adobe.whatever files from User/Library/Preferences and then restarted the computer. I then copied all Adobe and com.Adobe.whatever files from the other user folder and restarted and found that After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder were working perfectly:

Media Encoder CS6 Avid DNxHD video codec settings do not update in video settings tab

I want to encode a file to Avid DNxHD, but I am unable to change the resolution in the codec settings. I am choosing Avid DNxHD codec within the video codec tab, then clicking on codec settings and choosing a resolution from the resolutions pulldown menu. It will let me choose different resolutions from that menu, but after I hit okay, it has no effect on changing the video settings the way it's supposed to. For instance, if I try to encode a file that is 1280x720 with a source frame rate of 23.98, and I choose 1080i/59.94 DNxHD 145 8-bit, the frame size and frame rate does not change in the video settings tab. I am running Media Encoder CS6.0.2 on a Mac with OS 10.8.4. I am using Avid quicktime codecs v.2.3.7, because my system is running Avid Symphony 6.0.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No one ever responded unfortunately and I never figured out a work around.
In Media Encoder CC there is a system preset for DNxHD MXF which I've used
to yield Avid files. The weird thing is that the CC version does the exact
same thing as the CS6 if you choose quicktime, DNxHD codec, and try to
change the codec settings. None of the settings update. If you find out
anything more about this I'd appreciate getting an update. Thanks!

Quicktime codec not found - can't open in FCP

I have the FCP:Beyond the Basics book. The media files are largely HD quality. Upon trying to open them, FCP gives me the following error,"Codec not found. You may be using compressor type without the corresponding hardware card." This is followed by a "not enough memory" message.
The source files also cannot be opened up in quicktime, so I assume it's a quicktime codec issue. My FCP and QT Pro are completely updated. Nowhere can I find where I might gain the missing codec or why it isn't present to begin with. I have reinstalled the media and am inprocess of reinstalling QT.
My old MacBookPro (last year's model) could read all of these files, no prob.

QT reinstall did no good.
As a side note...this is a totally new computer. Oringinally, I installed FCP but not DVD Studio Pro. At a later date, I installed Studio Pro. I don't know if this messed with codecs or not.
Also, I couldn't find any apple hdv codec in the qt library. There is the apple intermediate codec, though. Hmmmmmmm.
