Help with Quicktime installation

Hello. I am having problems installing Quicktime. The problem began when I tried to update my I-tunes. After the installation was finished this message appeared: Quicktime failed to install Error: -3. Now I cannot use my I-tunes at all. I've tried everything I can think of at this point. I've uninstalled everything and reinstalled and I always get the same error. I've tried reinstalling my i-pod software and that works but I can't access the hundreds of songs I've already purchased from I-tunes because it tells me I need the newest version to authorize them which I can't upgrade to because I can't install Quicktime 7. This is very frustrating and I don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Windows XP

I don't know if this thread will be of use, but it's worth a look:

Hope it helps.

Help with Quicktime. (very annoying problem)

Hello,
I am a newbie to this forum. I searched the forum and couldn't find the answer I was looking for so here is my question. When I try to open either iTunes or the Quicktime player I get a error message that reads "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." (it is one of those 'send error report' messages. Anyone who has windows has probably seen them before) Since it is happening with both Quicktime player and iTunes I can only assume that this is a problem with Quicktime. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times. Every time I try to uninstall Quicktime it tells me "a fatal error has occurred during installation" and never uninstalls. The only way I can uninstall is to just remove all the program files. Has anyone ever experienced this before? I need help.
Thank you.
P.S. Also when I try to just uninstall Quicktime buy hitting the "uninstall quicktime message" it starts to uninstall and then says "The installer encountered errors before the requested operations for quicktime could be completed."

if you are having issues uninstalling quicktime on XP, follow this guide:
Open the Program Files folder.
Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed in steps 1-7.
Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
Restart your computer.

You may also want to use a registry cleaner to get rid of any quicktime references (or Use Regedit (ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING))

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.

Help with TRex Installation

Hi, I am trying to install TRex (6.1.09.00) on my local portal (Netweaver 04 (640) - Stack 12) and during the 2nd last step of the installation I get the following message:
"error starting web server" and then the installation fails. When I checked the log, I got the following error message:
"The system cannot find the file specified.)in execution of a 'CreateProcess' function, line (278), with parameter (C:\usr\sap\Python
python.exe C:\usr\sap\trex_02/CCMS/install_config.py)".
I tried installing a couple of times and I always got the same error messages. Can anyone please help me? Thanks a lot for your valuable time.
Sincerely,
Sri

Hi,
When once Trex installation is failed, subsequent tries will also get the same error. My advice woudl be to uninstall the trex, delete all the sap_inst dir contents and delete the trex website after uninstallation. Go ahead with fresh installation. But the specify the new trex instance suppose previously you have specified 00, now specify 02 or 03 etc.
Never install Trex on same server on which portal is installed. It slow down your portal performance.
As well you need to satisfy the pre-requisites specified in installation directory.

Need some help with OS installation on Equium L10-300

Hello,
I am basically trying to do something really simple. But thanks to me being unfortunate enough to actually of bought such a diabolically bad computer, I know am on a forum trying to solve a jokishly simplistic problem.
When I try to format my computer, I am not being allowed, the Equim requests I insert some specific CD.
When I try to re-install windows it also tells me I need a certain CD.
I rang up Toshiba last year when I initially needed to format, they told me that its a lock, and that I have to pay money to get a new CD. I cant even explain how horribly messed up that is. How can a huge company get away with obstructing my human rights?
As a computer owner I should obtain the right to use any operating system I please.
Having some fascists dictate what OS I use is totally ridiculous and go's against what my basic rights. Its absolutely sickening
I need to know how to bypass this stupid system lock. Its totally illegal.
Someone please tell me how I can fix this horrible problem.

I understand you very well but let us write about all this.
Generally speaking every Toshiba notebook is delivered with preinstalled operating system. According your notebook specification your Equium L10-300 (PSL17E-XXXXX) is originally delivered with Windows XP Home (factory settings) and specification says this notebook model is delivered with recovery CD and Tools & Utilities Medias. I don't know if you got them or not.
Anyway when you bought your notebook you have already paid one license for preinstalled operating system. Of course nobody force you to use exact this recovery image (factory settings) and you can install your own operating system. Nothing is blocked or locked and because of that Toshiba offers drivers, tools and utilities on official support page. That means you can, for example, install WXP Professional on your notebook. WXP is supported and all necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads.
Please check this page. Just choose your notebook model and you will see all WXP drivers, tools and utilities are there. Toshiba has also offered Installations Instructions document (the first one on the list) to help you with WXP installation. If you want to have own and clean preinstalled WXP just follow this installations order.
I believe this is good argument for you to see that nothing is locked. If you want to have factory settings again you need to install operating system using Toshiba recovery CD. If you don't have one you must order it. BUT you must not do this. Just install operating system using Microsoft installations CD/DVD.
You can try to install Windows2000, Linux whatever you want. There is just one question: where to find all necessary drivers. For your notebook model Toshiba supports WXP and Vista only.
So can you please tell me which installations CDs you have and which OS you want to install?

Tecra R840 - Need help with SSD installation

Hello,
sorry again, but I really need some help with this?
My new ssd (arriving in a couple of days) is a Plextor M5P which is 7mm thick! My Tecra R840-16J have a 9.5 mm thick hdd and for what I saw there is no caddy!
I would appreciate all the tips to install the ssd in my Tecra!
Thanks for you time,

Hello Paulo
As far as I know some models are offered with HDD and some with SSD these models offered with SSD have small SSD holder. SSD is fixed with 4 screws into this holder.
I really dont know how to help you now. Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. I think they can check part number of this holder or maybe order one for you.

Nothing. i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below." and it already has two diffrent paths located in the entry box and i have tried them both and it keeps giving me the same message as i posted above. i am so lost and it dont help that i dont really know a whole lot about computers. i am stuck between a rock and a hard place.any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below."
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 have to find 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 QuickTime 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.)

I NEED HELP WITH QUICKTIME PRO!!!!

I JUST BOUGHT QUICKTIME PRO AND I AM TRYING TO MAKE A FAMILY DVD WITH VIDEOS FROM MY VIVITAR DVR 840XHD CAMCORDER. I PLUG IN THE CAM THRU MY USB AND WHEN I GO TO OPEN THE VIDEO'S WHICH ARE SAVED AS .AVI FORMAT, QUICKTIME SAYS THAT I NEED TO DOWNLOAD THIRD PARTY CONNECTIONS AND NO VIDEO'S SHOW UP. I DOWNLOADED EVERY SINGLE CONNECTION EXCEPT DIVX BECAUSE IT DOESNT SUPPORT MY PPC UNIT AND STILL I GET NO PICTURE OR SOUND...ITS JUST PITCH BLACK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I NEED IN ORDER TO VIEW MY VIDEOS ON QUICKTIME PRO. I DO USE A HD SD CARD BUT I DON'T THINK THATS THE PROBLEM...PLEASE IF SOMEONE KNOW'S WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP...THANK YOU.

PLEASE IF SOMEONE KNOW'S WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP
AVI is a file container -- not a compression format. To know what codec you need, you have to check the Finder "Information", QT "Inspector", QT 7 Pro "Properties", or similar multimedia window that will tell you what audio and/or video codec was used to encode your file. If the codec is available for the Mac, you would then download and install the specif component or component package providing the needed support. Most common AVI components are supported by the Perian component package... but not all. If you simply ant to try a "hit or miss" installation approach, then you should propably start here if you have not already installed the latest version. However, be sure to read the warnings regarding known conflicts with certain other components which now may have to be removed.

Problem with QuickTime Installer

I had problems with the latest iTunes+QuickTime update, and reading the differents topics in this forum, i have removed all QuickTimes & iTunes files, registry etc, and then made a clean 7.04 for windows standalone installer.
This installer also returns a problem :
"Error 1606. Could not access network access QTComponents".
I'm very sad because, without QT & iTunes, my Computer is not the same...
What can i do ?
Thank you

See if these two might help.

Help with Quicktime for Windows 7 64-bit

I am having a problem with the latest version of Quicktime for Windows. When I launch Quicktime and then 'click' on any icon for download I can see the sentence, "Connecting to iTunes" and then I am redirected to download iTunes... Problem is that I already have iTunes.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and up to date.
iTunes version 11.1.3.8
Quicktime version 7.74.80.86
I Unibstalled both products, using the guide provided from Apple. I, then downloaded and installed iTunes first, then I downloaded Quicktime and installed it. I had the same issue. Next, I went to Control Panel/ "programs and Features, used the "change" option and clicked "repair". I did this for both iTunes and Quicktime. They ran fine. No error messages, nothing in event logs, no trace of an install log to try to diagnose this myself. Does anyone have this problem, or can anyone help me to start the diagnosis necessary to solve this?
Second issue came to light after all of the steps I performed; Before, I would conect my iPhone to a USB port and iTunes would launch automatically. Now, it does not. I see my 4s in devices and I see a normal state using device manager. So, I went to "Default Programs" and selected my 4s and the dropdown window no longer has an option for iTunes. However, when I go to choose a default program for audeo, etc. the dropdown mwnu has an option for iTunes.
Thanks for reading and I would like some help.

I found the problem and the solution. In Internet Explorer ver 11 / manage plugin's, make sure that the Apple plugin's are enabled. My setings were incorrect, the plugin ws siabled. Enabled it and all is well!

How do I get Adobe to help with an installation problem?

I removed Windows Vista, and installed XP instead. Then tried to install CS3 using the file I downloaded from Adobe 2 years ago. It installed Acrobat, but the other components (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) failed with “Component not installed.” No error message. Never even asked for my serial number.
Phoned Adobe support on Sunday: closed.
Phoned again on Monday. Told to run CSClean. Did not solve problem. Phoned back. Swapped around departments (2 hours total on hold.) Promised they would email a link to download the installation file again. No email sent.
Phoned again Tuesday. More hours on hold. More promised link. Never sent.
Phoned again Wednesday. More hours on hold. Finally given a zip file link. Downloaded it 3 times, using different software (browser, FTP client.) I received the exact number of bytes on Adobe’s server, but the file is “not a valid archive” — rejected both by Windows itself and by WinZip.
We’ve now lost 3 days work, and cancelled clients for Thurs as well.
Utterly frustrated! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET ADOBE TO HELP???
