  • Accidentally uninstalled QuickTime, Itunes wont work

    I accidentally uninstalled Quick Time and now Itunes will not work. I tried re-installing Itunes and quick time but I would get an error saying old version of quick time could not be removed. I read a guide that said to remove itunes and I did and then says to remove quicktime when I try to remove quick time from program files it says: cannot delete QuickTimecheck.ocx it is being used by another person or program, please close any programs that may be using that program and try again. All I have open is this web page open and the program files containing Quicktime, Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this?

    QuickTimecheck.ocx
    That's a web browser plug-in, so I'd try closing your web browsers too. If you still can't remove the folder, restart the PC, don't open any applications whatsoever, and then try the deletion again.
    If still no luck, post back and let us know if you're still getting the same error message when you're doing the deletion, or if you're getting a different error message now.

    Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

    since you may have started the 90 day window.
    For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

  • I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?

    I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?
    iPhoto isn't in my applications to I can't drag it to dock.  All images and movies are still on Mac (heart did stop as I thought I'd lost everything and nearly cried) but I don't know how to get iPhoto back.  I'm worried about trying different things as don't want to lose anything on Mac.  Noticed that I haven't been using Time Machine and bought a couple of years ago so not sure what operating with.  I have our 2 CDs from when we bought the Mac - 13-inch Macbook Pro (Mac OS X Install DVD) and 13 inch MacBook Pro (Applications Install DVD).  My photos are not backed up so not sure if I need to do this first - can I back up to iCLoud or do I need newer software?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - need lots of step by step instructions though!

    All images and movies are still on Mac
    Of course they are.  Deleting an app doesn't delete the files that's in it.

  • What do I lose by removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin"?

    After upgrading to Leopard (Erase and install, then migrate data from a backup off an external HD), all the flash videos and ads had the Quicktime icon with a question mark on it. After searching through Apple discussions and google, I found a site that suggested removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin" from the library folder. It seemed like a strange fix but I did it anyway since I already went into Quicktime prefs and unchecked "Enable Flash." I also reinstalled Adobe flash player for Safari- both with no luck.
    So what will I be losing by removing this plugin? I'm assuming its a necessary plugin.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi
    So what will I be losing by removing this plugin? I'm assuming its a necessary plugin.
    Very necessary. In answer to your question, have a look at this thread, especially QuickTimeKirk's post.
    Have you checked your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime Settings panel? In the Miscellaneous panel only QuickTime HTML ought to be selected. If the other boxes are selected, then you'll have problems with QT in Safari.
    Regarding Flash, if you reinstalled it, then make sure you "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

    I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

  • I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?

    I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?  I've tried dragging and dropping from the Print window - no luck.  I tried to drag from the Systems folder - no luck.   IOS 10.9.4

    Well I have always had a printer icon in the Dock, launched or not launched (as in the screen shot below,) right next to the scan icon. Neither of which are launched at the present time.

  • Removed Quicktime now iTunes won't open...IDIOT!!

    I removed quicktime the other day stupidly thinking that I would not need it for iTunes, and now when I try to open iTunes, it says "Quicktime failed to initialize (error-2093) Quicktime is required to run iTunes, please reinstall iTunes."
    So I have the iTunes/quicktime disk that came with my iPod, so I could restore them both, but will this delete all the info from songs I had in iTunes? I mean, I have all the music saved in a seperate music folder, but I had gone into iTunes and corrected the names and info on like thousands of songs, is that all lost?
    Any help is appreciated, I'm computer ******** as you can probably tell by my stupid move. Thanks!
    Emachines   Windows XP  

    Thanks, but I tried that as well! When I removed quicktime originally, I had tried to install a different quicktime that my friend gave to me, but turns out it was the wrong one. That's when the problems started, so I restored to Sunday when iTunes was working, and it removed the other quicktime I had put in but left me with no quicktime at all and that's when I started getting the first error message.
    I think I screwed my computer up somehow lol I appreciate the ideas!

  • I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account.  How do I get back on as a device to use my account?

    I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account.  How do I get my iPhone 5s back on as a device to use my account?

    Hi jakefrombishop,
    If you changed that old ID to your current ID using Manage your Apple ID, try the following to see if it will accept your current password:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your current Apple ID and password. EDIT the ID and change it to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Now on the iPhone, where it is asking for your password to turn off Find My iPhone, type in your current password
    3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with the old email address and your current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to your current email address. You may need to verify it again.
    Fingers crossed!

  • I accidentally uninstalled quicktime. How do i get it back?

    The other day I completly removed QuickTime from my computer by mistake.  I went to the apple website to try and download it but there is no link for a .dmg.  Instead there is a message that says "Use Software Update to keep QuickTime up to date on your Mac".  Does anyone know how I can get QuickTime back?

    If you have a package unpacker such as Pacifist, and you kept your Lion install download package, you can open this in Pacifist and explore your way to the quicktime installer package. I did this recently as QTX was giving me stuttering problems in playing back mpegs. Reinstalling didn't solve that problem, but at least I now know how to get it back!
    Full instructions on this post:

    As long as you use a recent version of Pacifist it works fine.

  • I remove Quicktime player 10.0

    I involuntarily remove Quicktime player 10.0 from my mac and now when i wanted to download it again, but it's not possible because it show me that quicktime is built into the mac ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ ), when i download quicktime it's only version 7.5.5 or latest with blue icon (before i had blue, grey icon)
    Please what should i do when i want a version of Quicktime player 10.0

    QuickTime Player will definitely be on your Mac OS X 10.6 installer DVD, either a retail copy or the installer disks that came with your Mac. Here are the steps:
    1) download Pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com/
    2) Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD.
    3) Launch Pacifist
    4) Click the button that says "Open Apple Install Disks"
    5) In the window that will open, accept the choice of "OS Install - Mac OS X and standard applications"  A window titled "OSInstall.mpkg" will open
    6) If the list of contents under "Contents of OSInstall.mpkg" does not appear, click the disclosure triangle to show the list
    7) Click the disclosure triangle next to "ContentsofEssentialSystemSoftware"
    8) Click the disclosure triangle next to "ContentsofEssentialSystemSoftwareGroup"
    9) Click the disclosure triangle next to "Contents of Essentials.pkg"
    10) Click the disclosure triangle next to "Applications"
    11) Click "QuickTime Player.app" to select it
    12) Select the "Install Files to Default Location" command under the File menu
    13) Make sure that "Use Administrator Privileges" is checkmarked and that the file will be extracted to /Applications/
    14) Click the "Install" button.
    Pacifist should then restore QuickTime Player X to your Applications folder.
    Regards.

    Yes. Sometimes I accidentally delete or move it. Then it automatically syncs to my other apple products so I don't know what dates or appointments !
