How can I trash uninstalled QuickTime 7.4.1?

QuickTime 7.4.1 failed to install but I can't trash it either. I accidentally picked the older Panther when it should have been Tiger. I wasn't sure but might have had the latest already - only the free software I really wanted to download reckoned I had to have acquired QuickTime then two others in the right order. I trusted my G4 to tell me 1st if 7.4.1 was incompatible - too old, it finally told me - not after.
When I drag the uninstalled file to trash it tells me I don't have "sufficient privileges" to trash it. In Get Info the Locked File part of General info isn't locked, isn't even available (not highlighted).
Help. How can I get rid of it? If I have to obtain administrator passwords or whatever how on earth do I do this? I've found the ph no for this country, finally, but what rights to assistance do you have for free software like this?
And is it really possible that what must be a really common error of mistaken QuickTime identity if you try to go by their numbers and decimal points, can be so unbelievably difficult to find the solution to?
All and any answers gratefully received. It sounds like someone among you guys will know what I need to do.

Thanks Ricktoronto
But it looks like I didn't explain this well enough.
The problem appears to be that I have "insufficient privileges" to trash QuickTime 7.4.1 file BECAUSE my G4 refused to install it on the grounds that the version was too old. That its not in my Applications folder - the existing QuickTime is - I'm taking as confirmation that it really hasn't installed.
Re-installing my OSX surely is a daunting solution, but not relevant I don't think to the problem.
So I don't want to install this panther QuickTime, its the wrong one and I can't anyway. I do want to get rid of it, but I can't, trash won't let me. How do I get the "privileges" that will allow me to?

How can I locate, uninstall Quicktime and iTunes in order to reinstall?

Installed iTunes and Quicktime and bought music. Then tried to access a couple of week later. From iTunes got message 'the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable'. Quicktime says 'Error 46: could not load or find the QT ActiveX control'. I can't access them through Add/Remove Programs, so can't uninstall or update. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've installed and run Win Install Cleanup. Have tried reinstalling iTunes and QT a couple of times. Both times, the status bar freezes at four 'blocks' from the end, with the message 'Registering iTunes automation server'. The Task Manager says the installer's status is Running, so I don't know what to do, other than uninstall as best I can and start the process again. Could it be that the Security Center is preventing it from completing the installation? Any suggestions gratefully received.

I have quicktime player 10 installed on my mac and it is considered the (default) player. How can I get my Quicktime 7 Pro as my default player?

I have quicktime player 10 installed on my mac and it is considered the (default) player. How can I get my Quicktime 7 Pro as my default player? When I downloaded video from my phone, I couldn't hear the sound because Quicktime player 10 automatically opened the file and there was no sound, When I opened the file in quicktime 7 Pro, the audio was fine. I would prefer to have all movie files open automatically using my Pro version. Any suggestions? When I trashed the QT player 10 and clicked on the .3g2 movie file, it didn't automatically open with QT 7 Pro. Instead a window opened wanting to convert the file to Flash. I don't want that to happen.

Try This...
Highlight the file you want Quicktime 7 Pro to open -
Goto File > Get Info or (CMD I)
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the player you want to open the music file.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?
I have several movies from 2008 that are labeled as .mov but I now get a QuickTime error saying "The document "XXXXXX" could not be opened. A required Codec isn't available."
These movies ran in QuickTime just fine until about a month ago.
All the folders in which these movies were stored in 4 folders in 2 folders in one folder. All folders at each level were encrypted with Stuffit Deluxe a version circa 2008 and decrypted with a newer Stuffit Deluxe 10.x. Other movies that are NOT .mov and in with the .mov movies still run.
If I click on the Thumbnail Preview "It" runs.
How can I fix this?
TOP image is the Error message.
BOTTOM image is the Thumbnail Preview info.
I've checked out "Tell Me More" and have not found a solution.

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?
The basic work flow is to determine which codecs were used to create the non-playing file and then check to see if these formats are supported by your current system codec component configuration.
If the files will open in one of the QT player app, the open the inspector window to see which codecs were used to create the original file as seen here...
or here in the "Format" entry...
Or, if you have QT 7 keyed for "Pro" use, you can open the "Properties" window to gain even more information as demonstrated here...
if you file will not open in either of the QT Player apps, then you can try opening the Finder "Get Info" window for the file,
use a third-party media player that will open the file, or
use a dedicated media information utility to learn this information....
Once you know what codecs were used to create the file, post back with this information so we can deterine if the file should be natively supported by your Mac OS X install, requires an Apple Pro editing codec normally installed by the editor app, or requires a third-party codec which the user must supply.
These movies ran in QuickTime just fine until about a month ago.

Your information does not indicate whether or not the files actually played on the current system or were transferred from a different system which was properly configured for playbac, whether or not you recently upgraded your operating system/modified your codec component configuration by adding or deleting any codecs, whether your compound "Stuffing" of the files created corruption, etc.
As to MOV files the selves, this extension just implies the data was placed in the QT generic file container and the actually data could be of any compression format thathat was compatible with the codec component configuration for the system on which the files were created and could include natively supported system codecs, pro editing codecs, and/or third-party proprietary or hybrid codecs. (I.e., this is why we may need more information regarding the individual non-playing files.)
If I click on the Thumbnail Preview "It" runs.
f you are referring to QuickLook (QL) then the technology is different than QuickTime (QT). In the former case, the system is playing representative data but not actually opening the file as QT does. Thus, there is always the possibility that the problem is in the file structure (atom) information. For instance, suppose someone merely changed the MOV file extension in the Finder rather than actually copying data to a real MOV file container. Then it is possible that the QT player app may be searching for a codec that is not supposed or expected to be supported in the MOV file container and, not finding it, issues the erroneous codec error message—especially since you did not inticate the source of the file you are trying to play or, in some cases, which QT player is now not playing the file.
In short, there are several possibilities here and not enough specific information.

How can I split a QuickTime file in two?

8/21/2006. How can I split a QuickTime file in two? I saved a two hour videotape converted by PYRO A/V LINK to iBook G4 combo into a file of 24.5 Gb, and I saved to QuickTime into 536 mgs. Of course, it took half a day. When I went to copy it as video (536 mgs) onto a CD of 700 mg capacity, Toast 7 said it required 1100 mgs and couldn't do it. I have QuickTime Pro, got just recently. I would be very happy to learn how to split it, so to copy each of the split pieces onto 2 CD's, for my own purposes. Many, many thanks. Chuck Yopst.

Kirk, Thanks for your post Monday 8/21. Interesting how things worked out. I split the OuickTime file--of my retired uncle Church of the Brethren pastor's 50th wedding anniversary, and came up with two folders. Each contained four more folders, and inside folder Mvseg was file Avseq.dat which contained the video material and, when double clicked, started playing that half of the story on Windows 98SE. It just so happens that my uncle's PC operating system is a Windows 98SE. All this from QuickTime 7.0 which Windows 98SE would play the audio but not the video. Then a week later, yesterday in fact, in looking through iDVD help I found your solution, which heretofore I had no idea of. I had to go into System Preferences--Hardware--CDs & DVDs, and set these for "Open with 'Ask what you want to do'." The factory settings were to "open these when inserted" without that "Ask"ing. So then I was able and did follow your solution and it worked, but as a single QuickTime file, playable on Windows XP and Windows 2000 and Macintosh but not Windows 98SE. So everything worked out well. And thank you again. Chuck Y

I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?

Mark the names that you see in the apps man.. They should be like a000c1b.sis etc.
Connect the phone to your PC as USB mass storage device.
Open the drive in your PC.
In search option, write down the name, the files will appear, delete em.
Or, you can use 3rd party File explorer like explore to delete em.

How can I make my Quicktime plugin work again?

Before installing the Firefox v3.6, my quicktime plugin was working. After I installed v3.6, the quicktime plugin didn't work. I tried to uninstall v3.6 and installed back v3.5, but the quicktime plugin is still not working. How can I make it work again or how to fix this? Thanks.
Is there a way to undo the installation of Firefox v3.6, meaning to remove any traces of Firefox 3.6 installation, because this problem only came after I installed Firefox 3.6.
I'm able to play streaming videos from websites (e.g. http://www.singingsuccess.tv/videos/?vid=251) BEFORE I installed v3.6. AFTER installing v3.6, the streaming video now shows a blue Q with a question mark in the center. I tried to uninstall that version and install back v3.5, but the problem still exist.
Thank you and hoping for your prompt reply. More power.

You actually have to update the entire QuickTime application to get a new version of the QuickTime plugin that Firefox uses.
I don't know what you mean by a licensed version of QuickTime. Do you have QuickTime Pro (paid version) or the free version?
If you are updating the free version, just download it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ and then install it on top of your current version (no need to uninstall it first).
If you are updating QuickTime Pro, I copied this from http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12301362&#12301362
'''Re: need new install of quicktime pro Posted: Sep 19, 2010 5:28 PM'''
'''Download a free version of Quicktime. Open it and choose Edit. Scroll down to Preferences and choose Register. Once you enter your Registration Key, it will automatically update your version to QuickTime Pro (this is what I just did on my PC).'''

Can't fully uninstall Quicktime

I'm trying to fully uninstall Quicktime, and I get a message that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". I've tried defragmenting my hard drive. How can I remove the various files that are preventing uninstallation?

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
That's usually caused by a damaged QuickTime.msi
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appear in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries, and click "Remove". Quit out of CleanUp.
Next we'll clear away the leftover program files and folders. Their locations vary depending on whether you've got a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vista.
*32-bit Vista*
Restart the PC.
Open Local Disk C: or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
Open the "Program Files" folder.
Right-click the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select Delete.
Go back into Local Disk C: or whichever drive your Operating System files are installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
Right-click on the QuickTime file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Right-click on the QuickTimeVR file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
*64-bit Vista*
Restart the PC.
Open Local Disk C: or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Right-click the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select Delete.
Go back into Local Disk C: or whichever drive your Operating System files are installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "sysWOW64" folder.
Right-click on the QuickTime file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Right-click on the QuickTimeVR file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
You should now be QuickTime-free.

How can I select the Quicktime plug-in (in Firefox) as the Helper Application, as only programs out of the web browser are shown?

I recently updated my QuickTime Plug-in (7.7.4) on Firefox 21. Prior to the update, I could open midi files in the Firefox and other browsers with a QuickTime Player. Now, I've got my Windows 7 computer asking how it should save or open the file. The QuickTime Plug-in is enabled and works with other types of files. If I open Tools, select Options, and select Applications, I do have the option of selecting "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 (in Firefox)" for many file types. For the "Midi Sequence" type, it isn't an option, (only programs which open the midi files outside of the browser). Presently my only option is to use "Windows Media Player" as the default program, (opening midi files outside of the browser). "Mid file" allows the selection of the QuickTime Plug-in but still goes out of the Firefox browser to use the Windows Media Player, whether the file's extension is .mid or .midi
Is these someplace I can find the "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 (in Firefox)" with the "Browse" within my computer's files, or am I now stuck using the "Windows Media Player" when a plug-in should be able to do this simple task? I can watch YouTUbe (in Firefox) but cannot play a midi file (in Firefox)!

QT 7.7.4 use "audio/mid" MIME type only and does not understand now "audio/midi" and "audio/x-midi" types commonly used on server side. Blame Apple for that.

How can I update a quicktime movie placed in Keynote, that has been modified outside of Keynote??

HI! I really like Keynote for quicktime playback during a tv/film shoot, and use it frequently on set.
Media assets change frequently though, and it would be nice if the movies I place would update along with the external source.
How can this happen in Keynote? Seems like even if you save the file without copying audio/video into document, it still somehow references the initial placed movie.
Thanks for your help solving this problem, would be great if this app worked like every other app that imports external media.

That's a shame. It takes some tweaking, but PowerPoint can do this. I know it's not something that is needed all the time, but it's something I've needed on a few occasions. I wonder how well the timing would work out if I broke the video up into sub clips and simply assigned a clip to each slide? It's a lot more work and I suspect I'll pick up some clips and pops during the slide changes.
Keynote is still far better at what it does than PowerPoint, but do I ever wish it could do this so I could really show it off to people.
Thanks for the reply!
