Downloading quicktime updates
No high speed where I live so I download my updates on a windows computer onto a flash drive to my Mac. all works fine except quick time. I get to the right download site, click on download and end up on a quick time for windows site. Any ideas on how to download the one for the Mac?
Apple uses a javascript to detect the OS so the
correct URL for it loads.
Manually change that URL (win to mac) in the address
bar and you can download the Mac version.
Or visit the Support page or OS X Downloads links to
get a Mac version:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime716for
mac.html
This doesn't work because I'm at the Mac download site and when I click download it goes to the quick time window page instead of downloading. Does quick time downloads only download to computer and not on a flash drive like everything else?
I Mac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

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!

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which version of the operating system is it running now? (It is impossible for an iBook G4 to run Mac OS X 10.0.)
How much RAM is installed?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?) -
all of sudden, I can't launch iTunes as I get a popup saying "iTunes requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later". I only have 7.4 currently and the apple site doesn't show anywhere to download Quicktime upgrade. Software Update detects no reqd updates. Help pls??

After downloading latest quicktime update, itunes store will not load
Has anyone had this same problem after downloading latest quicktime update. iTunes store will not load.
This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes. I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation. -

Can Not download itune/quicktime updates. Lost my playlist and half the songs?
I have a 2nd generation Shuffle that works great. Went to download and Itunes/quicktime update from Apple. Got a message saying part of the system needed for the upgard was missing. When I went to my Itunes my playlist was gone. There was a bunch of blank floders. No way to sync the player wihthe computer or download new songs. All I can to is charge my shuffle. Tried to delete and reload Itunes with no luck. Any ideas?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -

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 !

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 -
At a recommendation from my school, downloaded and updated my computer against the recent Flashback software. Now, one night later, I am unable to watch online videos, as the plugins are no longer working. How do I reenable plugins? I cannot see any obvious way to do this via Java Preferences, and the box under Safari Preferences for "enable java plugins" is already checked. What has changed, and what can I do? Please be specific. Thank you!
Select Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins from the Safari menu bar. Besides the following, what plugins are listed?

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 -
OS9 Quicktime update 4.1.2 error-- Pro Tools 5.1.1
I have a Pro Tools optimized OS9 G4 graphite (?) mac
When I try to open Pro Tools LE, I get an error message:
can not be opened because "Soundlib--SoundConverterFillBuffer" could not be found.
After googling this error message, on an Avid Forum, I found that it refers to a Quicktime 4.1.2 update that must be made before Pro Tools LE 5.1.1 can run on OS9:
http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=23094
Ok, so, I downloaded the Quicktime update onto my MacBook laptop USB-stick, then tried to install on my OS9 G4-- but to no avail-- when trying to install, I get the following error message:
"Quicktime Installer" could not be opened because an error type -39 occurred.
I'm not finding anything useful on Google in regard to this "error type -39"
I'd be eternally grateful if anyone here has any ideas on what I might try to remedy the above problems.
A "friend" gave me this G4 to use for a inexpensive recording device-- he told me "it worked." Maybe he was wrong, or didnt wanna admit that it had this problem (?) Or maybe its something simple that anyone familiar with OS9 would know about-- I've never worked much on one of these os9 macs...That error is often caused by Stuffit Expander intruding where it should not, particularly when the download is in a .smi (self-mounting image) format, a format generated by Apple's Disk Copy. Stuffit Expander has ShrinkWrap technology built-in, which allows it to mount some kinds of disk images - but not .smi ones. Yet ShrinkWrap tries to - hence the error message.
The solution - double-click Stuffit Expander, and open its Preferences (under the File menu). Select "Disk Images" from the list on the left, then turn off (uncheck) "Mount Disk Images". Quit Stuffit Expander. -
I ran software update and downloaded Quicktime 7.6.9 update, after restarting my computer a message read "bad/damaged source code" and i cant watch movies, open final cut, or itunes. I have since tried to download quicktime from the Apple website, but after restarting my computer the same message appears. How can I fix this and get Quicktime back?
"All I have is the startup disc for Tiger."
Then you cannot use the repair disk option. You need to do this from the Leopard DVD which is what is currently installed on your computer. What did you do with it? You need it to troubleshoot.
"Is there something else I can do besides restarting from my Tiger startup disc? "
Use Applejack. You can get it from Cnet Downloads for Mac and MacUpdate websites.

After iTunes/Quicktime update, no flash in Firefox
Hi,
I have now several times had the same problem after I updated iTunes and quicktime, the flash objects in Firefox get the question mark.
I did extensive search on this on the web, apple forum and firefox forum and have now found one solution that has worked couple of times for me.
After the iTunes/Quicktime is updated, and you get question marks instead of flash objects.
Solution:
1. Close firefox
2. Go to the firefox plugins directory. Can be found at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
3. Remove all npqtplugin.dll files (usually 7 of them, numbered as npqtplugin[2..7].dll).
4. Start firefox, and test some flash based page.
This solution works at Windows 2000, Firefox 2.x and latest iTunes/Quicktime.I don't understand, where on my computer is such a Firefox plug ins list.
My situation is similar, but I notice Quicktime/Flash failures on ALL my browsers...I.E., Netscape, Real Player. Isn't this something Apple should be taking care of, having messed up our software with their download?
How do I reverse the download-Quicktime 7.1.5, etc?
Thanks
John
