good gracious ... from your other post, i'm assuming that you had one of those strange ones where there were permissions for some accounts missing on the QuickTime keys? (i've seen that also associated with HKey errors on the installs.)
at any rate, i'm glad you're up and running again.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Quicktime wont install..help!

    My itunes wont work and seen in other threads that this is due to my quicktime not been installed properly. I have tried uninstalling current versions, reinstalling seperately and as with itunes and every way possible but the exe. install file just crashed halfway through and throws up a questionmark balloon?

  • My itunes 7 wont load. no matter what i do.HELP i need music.

    When i click to open itunes 7, it does not load.
    Well, what it does do is load yet it doesn't show up in anywhere but the [task manager(TM)]. Since, i open the TM
    and i see all my processes itunes is one of them and then i try to end the process and it wont work. the only thing i can to to close the process of itunes in the TM is turn off or reset my comp.
    It is irritating as i have had this issue a few times before with version 6, but i just attributed to it to me closing a process or having too much open at once...since, that was usually the case.
    Now its happening for no reason, as itunes will be the only thing i try to run. so if anyone has a similar issue and fixed it or has input. it is appreciated.

    i've seen that symptom before.
    a preliminary question aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits: by any chance, do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?

  • HELP! adobe audition cc 2014, wont play no matter what,

    The other day I was working on a project and everything was fine the next day when I re opened the project it wouldn't play. As far as i know i didnt change anything. I can move the tracks around and everything is still there but when i click the play button nothing happens, its not greyed out or anything just nothing happens. I tried re starting the program, then re starting the computer, then updating the program, then re installing the program nothing changed. Anyone know what the issue could be

    The first thing to check when this sort of thing happens is the audio settings on your sound card/interface.  If you're on Windows, go to the Sound Control panel, click on Playback Devices, highlight the device you're using, hit Properties then advanced and make sure the drop down is set to what you're using.  It's probably worth doing the same series of things in the Recording Devices tab.  Note that, with some external interfaces, you may have to do this in the dedicated software for the interface, not the generic Windows Sound Control panel.
    Then go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware and make sure Audition is set to match what you have set on the interface.  Also check the Device Class which is your drivers.  I sometimes find it's best to actively reset the Device class away from what you're using then back.  Make sure you okay/save.
    ....or, if you're on a Mac, you need to do the same things but I have no idea where the controls are.

  • IMessage wont work no matter what I try. HELP!!

  • Need QUICK! help for Quicktime Pro Install

    I came in this morning knowing I'd be pressed for time, and that I needed to convert a WMA file to an MP3 for a meeting. I decided to use Quicktime Pro 7. I made the purchase and have been trying for a 45 minutes of precious time to get it installed but am running into one bit of crap instructions after another. First, the instructions say to go into my system preferences and click the Quicktime icon. There isn't one. Next it says to download Quicktime 7 and load Quicktime Pro as an upgrade to that. Downloaded QT7, installed and it went off into space somewhere. Not in my applications folder.
    I'm running out of time. Why can't this just be an install process like any other normal program intead of making a person crazy?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Runing OS 10.6.8 on a hugely capable system.
    Cayce

    Oh, I think I get it now. So Quicktime Pro 7 will never show up as Quicktimje Pro 7, as advertised, but will be cleverly hidden within Quicktime Player 7 so that after it is actually loaded, it will still be called Quicktime Player 7, and there will be no visually recognizeable evidence that the install was successful, unless you've experienced this before and know what to drill down & look for, which rarely is the case when a person purchases and installs a software for the first time.
    Both the Registration and About windows will display the  normal QT 7 icon with the "Pro" text embedded to indicate QT 7 is properly keyed for "Pro" use, as well as, "un-greying" the "Pro" specific options in various menu windows when content is loaded/a player window has been opened. As  explained on various Apple web pages, purchasing the "Pro" key does not add any new codecs and does not download any new software. It only turns on the track/layer editing and conversion features for direct access from within QT 7 without having to purchase a full editing app like FCP. This is the way classic QT has worked for the last decade since I started using v5.
    Thanks for the kind and thorough assist, though, Jon. I'll manage from here. Curious about the South Jersey Apple Users Group. I'm up at the northern border, in the lakes region, town called Ringwood.
    The SJAUG primarily hosts membership throughout "South" Jersey (i.e., from Burlington County to Cape May County.) In the past, when membership was more active, we actually held meetings twice a month (Medford leas and Pine Hill School) to host a split membership. The Video SIG used to be quite active but between the split meetings, dwindling membership, aging membership (many have been members for 10-15 years and at 66, I am considered one of the younger members), and closing of the Pine Hill meeting venue (Pine Hill meeting members now usually go to the MUGSNJ at Gloucester County College), our membership and SIG activities have greatly been reduced over the last few years. In any case, we normally meet the third Saturday of each month at the Meford Leas facility just off Rt 70 in Medford. (http://www.sjaug.org)
    I have not visited user groups farther north than the Princeton area. Would invite you down to the next meeting (26 Jan '13) but I'm sure there are closer groups if you are interested. Retired, my video/QT interests are promarily centered on the creating and maintaining of my own personal video library for iTunes/TV/Airvideo management/streaming of content.

  • Help! quicktime wont run and i cant uninstall or reinstall!!

    problem:
    When I enter the quicktime website, I get these two error messeges, one after the other: "An error occurred inside a plug-in contained on this page" and "The plugin did not initialize properly". If I try to watch a movie trailor, I get this error messege:
    "Buffer overrun detected!
    Program C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplorer.exe
    A bufffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the programs internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must be terminated now"
    I tried uninstalling quicktime. I got this message:
    "Error Number: 0x80040707
    Description: DLL function call crashed: QTInstallCode.QuickTimeUnInstallProc
    Setup will now terminate"
    Then the setup wizard states:
    "InstallSheild Wizard is Completed.
    The wizard was interrupted before Quick Time could be completely installed.
    The system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run the installation again.
    Click Finish to exit Wizard."
    This same error message appeared when I tried to reinstall quicktime.
    breif history:
    I had newest quicktime (NOT PRO) on E://. Then i got a virus on C://. I reformatted C://. After that, I installed iTunes, Windows Media Player 10, ACE Codecs Pack (all codecs and filters, the rest was default), and Quicktime (NOT PRO) on C:// (I still have it on E:// though). I don't know if any of these have contributed to the failure of Quicktime running on my computer.
    If anyone knows how to help, please do!

    Sounds like the update may have corrupted your operating system. You will likely have to erase the phone using DFU restore mode and reinstall the operating system from scrach. The process is outlined in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujhBn9v3zOo . You may restore from backup once the process is complete to get your data/pictures back.

  • Itunes and Quicktime wont install

    When I tried to update my iTunes and Quicktime recently, it succesfully downloaded, began installing, and once the progress hit Quicktime, and error showed "an older version of quicktime cannot be removed." Now the issue is, that before this happened, the update had already removed the older version of iTunes. However, it was unable to install the newest version due to this quicktime issue. So here I sit. Help?
    -D

    once the progress hit Quicktime, and error showed "an older version of quicktime cannot be removed."
    Most probably that's an issue with the installation database in the QuickTime.msi file.
    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we need to hunt down a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for *at least version 3.0* of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 9.2 again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

    Please help ASAP.
    Specs: IOS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
    Editing with FCP 7
    When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
    The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
    How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
    This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
    Thanks,
    MV

    What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
    Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.
