Frustrated with Quicktime

Ive been trying to install Itunes and Quicktime for the last 3 hours. I keep getting error 1402 upon installing...then error 1603. It denies me the error to change permissions for this key...even deleting it ...I am admin.
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\QuickTime
I just bought my wife a little ipod, and was going to surprise her w/ a new account but....I can't even install the programs.....would appreciate help.

I think I have a problem with quicktime. I cannot unistall it because it is not showing up in my Add/Remove programs list. I have tried to reinstall itunes several times in order for the program to run its "repair" feature.
let's try the following procedure with that.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
does an itunes 7.0.2.16 install go through properly after doing that?

  • MacPro 8 core frustration with Quicktime export

    On my old Dual FG5 with 1.5 gig RAM, running FC 5.1.4 and QT 7.1.5 on OS 10.4.8 it takes about 3 minutes to export a 15 minute HDV fully rendered movie to QT self contained. On my brand spanking new MacPro 8 core with 2 2.26 Quad cores, 16 GB ram, running OS 10.5.6 & QT 7.6.0, to do the same thing is taking hours! (using FCP 5.1.4) Is this an OS/QT incompatibility problem with FCP 5.1.4?

    LOL, yes the USB cable is connected. However I got it working, PRAM ZAP.. and away she goes..

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • After sharing IMovie with Quicktime I can't get it to download with IDisk

    I am completely frustrated. I have attempted to share with homepage from IMovie also with Quicktime to IDisk. I have a .Mac account. I just keep getting a copying format that continues and never stops.

    Export from iMovie to your Desktop.
    Mount your iDisk (not the local copy) using the Finder Go menu.
    Drag the QuickTime file from your Desktop to the Movies folder of your iDisk.
    Wait for the file to finish uploading.
    You can do other things if you want as they should slow down the upload too much.
    Once the upload is done you can log in at Homepage, create a movie template and include your new file in it.

  • Streaming Larges Files with Quicktime

    Hey guys - I am in need of some serious help. I have streamed files with quicktime before, no problem. But now I need to stream about 75 minutes worth of video. How do I do this and keep quality video and sound? I don't mind having a large file as long as it streams. But 1.2 gigabytes is a little ridiculous. I have seen this done with WMV but I am having trouble doing it with quicktime. It's very frustrating because there are so many compression packages and options within those. I would like to finish before I die. Anybody have any ideas?

    Streaming ANY size file is really an issue of bandwidth out of the server. The closer the server is to a backbone and the better the connection to the backbone, the better feed you have.
    Everybody sing!
    The backbone connected to the T-1,
    The T-1 connected...
    Oh nevermind.

  • Keynote quits when doing anything with Quicktime

    If I open a file with quicktime files in it, or if I attempt to add a quicktime file to the Keynote presentation, it will undexpectedly quit.
    Here is the beginning of the error message:
    Link (dyld) error:
    Symbol not found: _ATGetMoviePlayabilityState
    Referenced from: /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimecomponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTim eComponents

    I have updated completely, ran disk permissions and trashed all iWork and Keynote preferences.
    I have also found that this will happen in Pages too, same exact error message.
    Thank you for any help, this is really getting frustrating.

    i too recently installed all available/current QuickTime updates and still experienced an instant system restart while viewing a quicktime video in Keynote.
    I'm on keynote 3.0.2 with QuickTime 7.2

  • Can no longer playing my own podcasts with QuickTime on Mac.

    When checking my latest Garage Band podcast, I got ? in Q with message to download latest QuickTime. I did that but still get ? in Q. I can play my podcasts on PC with QuickTime in Windows XP, but not on my Mac. My 2GHz Macbook is new and has no additional software to interfere. It will, however, play some other podcasts from iTunes, though only some. My podcast address is http://web.mac.com/daveyesitsme
    David Powell
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2 GHz Intel Core2 Duo

    No more ? in Q. Roger, thanks for confirming that the problem was not my Garage Band podcasts. After further, failed investigations with settings, I downloaded Firefox browser, as suggested by a previous post. Using Firefox my podcasts open perfectly with QuickTime 7.1.6. Why not in Safari? - beats me. Glad you checked.
    David Powell
    Your podcasts play OK on my G4 iMac with 10.3.9. and
    QT 7.0.4. I believe the latest version of QT has been
    causing problems (not for the first time), so I have
    avoided it: but anyway the problem is local to your
    Mac, the podcasts are fine. You could try asking in
    the QuickTime forum.

  • Remote Not Working With QuickTime 7.3.0

    Hi I just upgraded and realized my frontrow remote has stopped working with Quicktime. The remote works with VLC, iTunes etc but not QT. Forget about scanning forward or backward it cant even adjust the volume. I never had the problem before. I have tried playing both avi and mp4 files.
    I run Tiger and have a macbook

    As a follow up -
    I spoke with Apple Support about this and was routed to a few people who were helpful, and moved it up to the engineers of Keynote (and the white remote?) for a solution.
    A few days later I received this reply:
    Hello Eric, I have heard back from the engineers about this. It looks like as long as Keynote 6.0 is present on the system it will default to using the remove in that application. If you remove Keynote 6.0, which we would not recommend, then you can use Keynote 5.3 with the remote. Presently though this is normal and expected behavior.
    I replied by expressing my disappointment that this wasn't functional, since I'm not comfortable using Keynote 6.0 yet.  Short of uninstalling 6.0, the only workaround I have found is to use the iPhone/iTouch Keynote remote app, or make a duplicate copy of your presentation to be opened in 6.0 (and using the remote there).

  • Need Help with QuickTime to Apple TV Export Weirdness

    I am having a problem using QuickTime Player 7 Pro to convert a movie file in its original 1280x720 size for use with Apple TV. (iMovie creates a 960x540 file for Apple TV by default and the only way to get a 1280x720 file is to have iMovie use QuickTime to export it as a .mov file in that size and convert it to a .m4v file for Apple TV separately, with QuickTime Player 7 Pro. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to produce the 1280x720 file that is compatible with Apple TV.
    To demonstrate my issue, I exported two projects from iMovie, both using the Export via QuickTime menu option, set at Movie to QuickTIme Movie, 1280x720, H.264, 24fps:
    - Movie 1 is an 8:20 video. (All library video taken by the same camera and imported into iMovie at the same time).
    - Movie 2 is a :15 test video using a clip from the same source as Movie 1.
    Next, I used QuickTime Player 7 Pro to export Movie 2, the short test clip, using the Movie to Apple TV setting. It  yielded a 1280x720 .m4v file, just as I wanted. With that test completed, I moved on to the full video.
    When I exported Movie 1, the full 8:20 movie, using exactly the same setting in QuickTime Player 7 Pro, it produced a 960x540 .m4v file! Repeated exports yielded the same results.
    How can this happen? How do I get the1280x720p Apple TV-compatible file that I want?

    Thanks for the detailed reply. I have exported movies from iMovie many times with the "Export using QuickTime/Movie to QuickTime Movie" Share menu option. Despite the fact that Apple literature states that TV1 will play an H.264/AAC 1280x720, 24fps MOV file, I have never been able to get one to play. It won't even sync. (I get an error message stating the sync didn't work because the file is incompatible with TV.)
    Sorry for the delay in responding. Wanted to check a couple of files on the TV1. Don't have many files encoded at 720p24 and have re-converted most for better AC3 DD5.1 quality at 640 Kbps for the TV2 units.. In any case, wanted to make a quick check to see if they still played with increased specs after the last update. Files play but only for a few seconds before freezing. Thought it might be to to wireless streaming to the TV1 so I tried synching a test file but it played the same way. Only files that still play are 540p30 files. Not sure if they have really "killed" 720p or not as a couple of trailers (Thor and Captain America) play at 1280x544 (i.e. 2720 macro-blocks) which is significantly more than my 960x540 (2040 macro-block) files. Might be interesting to see if a 960x720 PAR encoded file will still play on the TV1. (Not that it would help you but it is a matter of some curiosity for me.)
    I spent much time at my Apple retail store trying to see what I may have done wrong. The Apple Geniuses there confirmed with me that TV1 will not play this type of file. (I have no experience with TV 2, but I would be surprised if the results were different.
    Then be prepared to be surprised. The TV2 plays the 720p files just fine even with the increased audio data rate for the secondary AC3 DD5.1 surround sound. In fact, I am seriously considering the retirement of the TV2 so I can watch all files without having to worry about frame rates. (Besides, my wife keeps complaining that the bedroom TV (the TV1 unit) doesn't play her Netflix "chick flicks."
    I just tried renaming the MOV file to M4V. It now syncs with my TV. Unfortunately, it still won't play. The error message on the screen states "The format was not recognized."
    Strange, my files are recognized, stream, sync, and play (albeit with frozen video as sound continues) whether I use a real M4V or MOV file container. (Don't have an MP4 720p file to test at the moment.)
    So, I am forced to export and then convert. That said, I am embarrassed (but happy) to admit that I found the solution to my QT 7 Pro problem. As I experimented further today,I found that my test file (Movie 2) was exported by iMovie at 24 fps and the full movie was exported at 30 (29.97) fps. QT 7 Pro must have forced the conversion to 960x540, which would be the only way a 30fps file would play on TV. Once I corrected the setting and exported again at 24fps, the QT 7 Pro conversion to 1280x720 worked as it should.
    Glad you were able to settle that issue.
    If you or anyone knows of a way to export from iMovie into a 1280x720, 24 fps format guaranteed to be compatible with TV1, please post instructions. Until then, I will have to keep using an intermediate export first and then Handbrake or QT 7 Pro to convert.
    It's not really possible to guarantee that every file will be playable since the content actually drives the encoder and may require changes to user settings on occasions. However, having said that, I take it you did not try the "Export using QuickTime.../Movie to MPEG-4 Movie" Share menu option previously suggested. It will allow you to create an H.264/AAC 720p24 TV1 compatible MP4 file directly from iMovie. Here is a "quickie" file I exported from iMovie moments ago which plays on my TV1.

  • If Apple is so full of geniuses, why can't they come up with a usb cable to connect the iPad to a printer? This would seem like the most intelligent first choice for those of us who are absolutely frustrated with iPad printing functionality.

    My sister has an iPad and an HP printer. She cant' print from her iPad even though a genius at the Apple Store sold the combination to her with the idea that it would be easy to do. Instead, I have to go to her place with my MacBook, she sends me an email, and I hook up my laptop to her printer to print what she needs. Why can't the Apple geniuses come up with a USB cable and an OS update to make it easy and NOT SO FRUSTRATING to print from the iPad?
    I've been a Mac user for fifteen years but I could not, in good conscience, recommend an iPad to anyone until Apple considers that ease of use does not include regularly getting frustrated with the easiest of tasks.

    all printers speak a diffrent "computer language" for a device to understand this language
    a driver is required
    some devices such a computers come with drivers for a long line of printers and other devices
    apple decided that it was better not to include that huge list of drivers as users would then not have
    much storage left for media and apps
    then apple let printer makers make apps for printing in app store and make printers support airprint

  • The newest version of iTunes is awful when it comes to Cloud syncing-file management. I'm constantly frustrated with what iTunes 'chooses to eliminate from my mobile device and settings aren't fine-grained enough to allow for real user control.

    I'm endlessly frustrated with iTunes Cloud syncing, something that was supposed to make lenjoying my music easier. I routinely find that, though itunes and podcasts have been split, iTunes arbitrairily removes music files or in progress podcast in favor of 'new' podcasts. The settings are just not fine-grained enough to allow true user control and so we are instead subjected to 'Apple knows best' protocols. I understand and appreciate the level of exacting control Apple excercises over their ecosystem, however, more and more often I see them tightening control over things that should be user control while dropping the ball on aesthetic desisions made in producing their own software (see the hideous pull down tab for iTunes to access Podcast, TV shows, Music, etc.
    I would like to see features like those in Mail and the Podcasting apps implemented in iTunes afor the management of content on mobile devices, for instance it would be great to swipe to delete files that you know longer want on your device, at both the album and song level. Another issues is the new pushiness of iRadio and iTunes Store, the app now seems to default to the iRadio page (versus the last page Albums, songs, etc. that the user was navigating, or in the instance of the iTunes Store push, if I doon't have all the tracks of an album i own on my mobile device 'complete my album' takes you to iTunes store rather than showing the 'cloud' download icon next to missing tracks. These are the tactics I expect from Google, not Apple (pushing commerce over quality user experience).
    Fix these things Apple, please.

  • Try to open mov file with quicktime, says can't open pdf files.

    Hi to everyone,
    Suddenly I try to open a mov, any mov file, with quicktime 10.4 and some times opens the finder and nothing more, some times says that it cannot open one pdf document ( a document I actually have but never try to open with QT). some times QT says it canot open some png or jpg file.
    But I double click mov files. And the incoherence is permanent, I mean that for the same movie file says it can't open the same pdf file, and in other file the same png, or the same jpg.. it depends on the mov file I try to open.  Like if somewhere, somme kind of cache, adresse or reference is wrong.
    this is the text of one of those messages when I double click a mov file:
    "The document “phoenixRoomfillerB_v001_0104.jpg” could not be opened. QuickTime Player cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format."
    And if I try again and again, at some point QT open only the finder window.
    The weird thing is that on the finder window i can see the preview and play the preview. and the same mov files play well with VLC. And if I copy the mov file to my desktop it plays well unless QT start to open only the finder window, if that happens it does not work anymore with any file.
    The files are on an external drive with 3 partitions.
    And I make all the possible cleaning that I can:
    I am the administrator of the imac and I am the only one to use it.
    I am the owner of the volume
    I use disk utility to check and everything is ok
    I use onyx to clean as much as possible, cache, boot, volume structure, smart status, home folder permissions, kernel, extensions, QT components, etc. and everything works fine.
    Imac 27 inch late 2012.
    Intel 3.4 GHz  i7

    thanx.

    Try QT v7.x which is located inside your Utility folder.

  • In 10.4, an internet audio file now opens with Quicktime?

    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    When I was using 10.3 (and before), when clicking on an audio file on the internet, RealPlayer 9 automatically opened.
    One could see the % of the file being downloaded and then (quickly), one would automatically hear the audio clip.
    Most often, I am talking about audio clips available on NPR (National Public Radio).
    Since I have installed 10.4 (now at 10.4.3), when I click on the same audio file, now Quicktime opens instead. And then nothing happens. Quicktime opens, a Quicktime Player is seen, but I hear nothing and nothing tells me whether the audio file is being downloaded, is ready to be listened to, or anything.
    With Quicktime 7, is RealPlayer now supposedly superfluous?
    - Ross

    Many thanks QuickTimeKirk,
    But think I need more step-by-step directions.
    1. I have RealPlayer (9) already.
    2. MIME settings in QuickTime Preference Pane. Set it to use RealPlayer for the Format .SMIL How?
    3. In the QuickTime Preference Pane, there is a box for .SMIL, one box only, under "Miscellaneous." It IS unchecked already. But NPR still opens with QuickTime.
    4. By "Change your Mac to use Real Player to open .SMIL files - ." I assume you mean, I will be on NPR, download a QT file and then try to change it to a RealPlayer file under "Get Info?"

  • HTTP Streaming WAV audio no longer works with quicktime 7.7.3  OSX or 7.7.5 in windows

    The latest revisions of quicktime (as plugin) no longer play our webservice's streamed audio files.  The audio is simply encoded wav all javascript hooks seem to work properly, but there is no resulting audio output. Reverting to previous revisions of quicktime on the same platforms restores the expected behavior.
    The files are streamed over authenticated HTTPS connections and are encoded as "RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, ITU G.711 mu-law, stereo 8000 Hz".  If the file is downloaded to the local machine, the quicktime player application has no problems playing the audio.  Similarly, dropping a file: URL to the download into the web browser also plays correctly. The issue started with Quicktime 7.7.3 on OSX with Safari (Yosemite) and 7.7.5 on Windows (Chrome and Firefox). Mavericks and previous Windows quicktime plugins work correctly.  This is especially problematic for our Mac OS clients because we have not been able to identify a current working combination or a functional downgrade path other than to downgrade the OS to Mavericks.
    Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Jon, I read.  But the links to websites are not playing on a Windows7 computer. Can you tell me why they are not?
    I believe that with a new dawn comes new understanding of the problem.
    I do not have access to a Windows 7 computer nor do I run Windows on my Mac.
    I am not a web coding programmer. However...
    Neither of the original poster's links (http://openmap.bbn.com/~mthome/quicktimeaudio.html and http://openmap.bbn.com/~mthome/wavtest.wav) work because they both point to the same HTML (quicktimeaudio.html) file.
    The HTML file looks like this:
    This file appears to look for the QT plug-in to see if QT is installed, if the version is v7.7.6, and whether or not the WAV extension is supported.
    When I click on either link, this is what I see:
    Although I am running:
    the browser display shown above indicates the HTML code thinks that QT is not installed rather than being the wrong version and then, instead of terminating the browser processing and displaying the correct error message, the HTML code falls through to a display of the audio media controller and automatically starts playback. Unfortunately, since confirmation of WAV playback support was skipped (or for some other reason), the QT plug-in does not access the required codec (or fails to send the data to the handler) and no audio is heard when playing the WAV audio file. In short, even though I am not a web programmer, I believe the main issue here is the coding of the HTML file.
    When I "re-containered" the original poster's WAV file and posted it on my own server, I created a URL link that actually pointed to the WAV resource and not to the HTML file code as did the OP's secondary link. Thus, when I accessed the audio file, I did so directly via the plug-in, by-passing the HTML file code issue and allowing the file data to play correctly in Safari under both Yosemite and IOS 8.
    Believe the HTML file needs to be re-coded to fix the problem. I can now play the original 8-bit µ-law encoded WAV file in players and Safari but believe the OP here should consider a more modern compression format/file container combination that would allow him to abandon use of the QT player plug-in to maintain compatibility with "plug-in free" browsers. For instance, would HTML5 coding be able to play AAC encoded content in MOV, MP4, M4V, and/or M4A file containers? Once again, questions like this are beyond my expertise and need to be answered by someone proficient in this area.
