I can't install / uninstall Quicktime either! Please help

I've read all the posts on this subject and none of the advice has cured my problem. When I try to run the latest Quicktime install program (having uninstalled Quicktime earlier versions??) I have only 2 options - either Repair or Remove. So Quicktime still exists somewhere on my system? Both the options give the same result - a warning dialog with the following message. "The installer has encounted an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package The error code is 2356." Can someone help?

Thanks for the quick reply but I had tried all that already. To be sure though I just checked again. Windows Install cleanup reports no quicktime installation, there is no Quicktime folder in the C:\program files folder and the files are not present in the C:\Windows\system32 folder.
I also searched the entire PC and the files are not there at all. I also checked the QuickTimeInstallerF30.log located in my profile local settings\temp folder it shows the following:-
=== Logging started: 4/7/2007 23:35:25 ===
Executing: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe" /i "{5E863175-E85D-44A6-8968-82507D34AE7F}"
Returned: 1603
Also the log file MSIf6fea.LOG in the same folder shows:-
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2356. The arguments are: QuickTime.cab, ,
=== Logging stopped: 07/04/2007 23:34:16 ===
I'm logged in as the administrator too.
Error message is still the same! The other point to note is that after the error message the install program then looks as though it reverses it first few steps that were completed before the error message.

IMovie 08 Requirements. Can't install iMovie 08! Please help!

I have a G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz PPC with 2gb of memory.
I am trying to install iLife 08.
The requirements say:
iLife ’08 requirements
Hardware: Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor
• iMovie requires a Mac computer with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster)
• iDVD requires 733MHz or faster processor
512MB of RAM; 1GB recommended; high-definition video requires at least 1GB of RAM
I have the minimum.
Why can't I install iMovie if i have the minimum requirements?
Please help! I bought iLife 08 just to run the new iMovie. Don't tell me i have to purchase a new computer now?!?
Thanks!

As Ben says, solved, it is.
Here's my little saga:
Upon detaching the 24" from the ATI 9200 and restarting, the installation, including iMovie, went without a hitch. Again, this is with the 9200 still seated comfortably in its PCI slot.
After reattaching the display and restarting, iMovie '08 would not even launch. I was greeted with a small dialog box:
"*Quartz Extreme Required*
iMovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme."
The only button was Quit. As a comparison, I then launched iMovie '06. I was greeted with this:
"*Your computer contains a graphics card which may not support iMovie.*
iMovie requires a “Quartz Extreme Compatible” graphics card. Certain iMovie features such as Themes, Ken Burns Photos, and Video FX may not work properly with your graphics card."
In this instance, however, my options were "Quit" and "Launch iMovie." Selecting "Launch iMovie" allowed me to use the application, but without the Quartz animations.
Definitely a "kinder, gentler" iMovie.
Whenever I wish to use either version of iMovie, I'll have to unplug the third display, and restart before I can get down to business.
Two things of interest to me are:
1) What would happen if I had unplugged the third display and restarted, launched iMovie (either version, but '08 especially), and then hot-attached the third display to the 9200? I'm curious to see what would happen. Naturally, attaching and un-attaching displays to a running Mac is not recommended, but it's been fairly common practice in the Mac repair shops at which I've worked. *I definitely do not recommend it, as you may end up frying something.*
That being said, I'm still curious to see if iMovie would still run properly, freeze, or quit.
2) Remember a few generations of Mac OS X back there was a little software hack called "PCI Extreme?" It's purpose was to fool an application into thinking you were Quartz enabled. There were many caveats, most notably that it could not perform magic on older cards, but many folks had success with it in Jaguar and Panther. Now, it seems, a few Tiger users are playing with it. The developer’s notes mention the following:
"Unfortunately, because Apple hardcoded the setting into CoreGraphics, I'm not aware of a way to enable both AGP and PCI graphics quartz acceleration at the same time. If you know a way, please let me know."
Therein, as the Bard tells us, lies the rub. Still, this avenue remains interesting. If I knew the first thing about coding, I'd delve into this to see if there was a method by which an application like iMovie would at least "ignore" the 9200 (as in this particular case) and just let the X850 XT do its thing.
For the adventurous among you, PCI Extreme is still available and does, to some extent, function in Tiger. You can get a it at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8979#descContainer_link
I agree that this issue is solved insofar as the boundaries of the initial question posted by Marc. It's the geeky can of worms that follows that will nag at me for a while.
This is ironic, as I use iMovie so infrequently I shouldn’t be concerned by this, especially seeing as there is a work-around if at least one of your installed cards is, indeed, capable of baring the brunt.
The biggest lingering issue, to me, is why can't we have a better, more powerful PCI option than the 9200? I suppose the answer is; "There is. It's called a Mac Pro."
This has been a fun one. Good work, everyone!
As always, I remain your humble crooner.

Can't install 10.3.2 please help!!

I just tried to install Panther to my iMac 350 with OS 9.2 and the firmware update.
When I try to install, after it says restart, I get a message that says, "startup disk was unable to select CD as start up disk."
I went to the startup disk control panel and I can see the 10.3.2 install disk, but I can't choose it.
Please help if you can. Is this, perhaps, an update and not a 10 install?
Thank you
Allan

allano:
To install Panther your computer will need to meet the minimum system requirements for Panther.
You will also need to purchase the Full Retail version of Panther. Please note that Computer specific or upgrade versions should be avoided since they are optimized for the computer to which they are specific and will therefore, very likely, cause problems during or after installation. On the legal side, it may be a violation of the Software License Agreement which statesThis License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time...You can purchase universal installer Panther disks, guaranteed to install, from applerescue.
If your computer meets the above qualitifcations and if you have a Full Retai Version of Panther, try this proceure for installation:
Warning! Be sure you have a tested backup of at least your Users folder and any third party applications you do not want to re-install before attempting this procedure.
Boot from you install disk holding down the "C" key.
When booted, select language.
Go to Instaaller menu (Panther & earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
Select First Aid in main panel.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
After Permissions are repaired Click Repair Disk.
Quit Disk Utility.
Open Installer and begin installation.
Choose to Customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer drivers.
Check box to install BSD subsystem.
Proceed with installation.
After installation computer will restart for setup.
After setup, reboot computer.
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
Select First Aid in main panel.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
Connect to Internet.
Download and install 10.3.9 Combo Update
Restart computer.
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
Select First Aid in main panel.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
If you run into issues with this please post back.
Good luck.

Can't Install CS4 properly. Please help.

Hi,
I've looked around, this forum and other forums for help, but nothing has availed.
I have tried so many things such as running the winCS4cleanupScript.
Problem:
When i try to install CS4, everything seems fine until a message pops up saying,
Installation has failed, following programs failed to install, adobe premiere & some other program.
I click continue, and happens again to all the programs.
In the end the error code was 1603, Looked something like this:
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Bridge CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Device Central CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation. etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tim,
Follow the mentioned below steps it will work for you.
1) Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
2) Download, unzip, and run the Adobe Windows CS3 Cleanup Script (which relies on the Windows program mentioned above to run) here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
Please run level 3 of the cleanup script to make it work.
As I said before, even though the Cleanup Script says it’s for CS3, it did work for me in installing CS4 as well.
Note: This is something we should use with Win 32 not with Win 64.
Regards,
Sam

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has 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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
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 Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I can't install the QuickTime!!! Please help!!!

I can't install the QuickTime. "The QT installer write: A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed."
But I not installed QT, I have not QT on my PC (WIN XP SP3)!!!
I'd like install QT after iTune!
Please help me anybody!!!

C:\WINDOWS\Installer will show .msi files. Right click and go to Properties then Summary will show what application they pertain to.
If you go to Start>Search>For Files or Folders>All files and folders, then type in .msi and do a Search. Then place your mouse pointer on one of these .msi a window will appear showing the info, which maybe easier.
At some point QT was installed on the computer and removed. Old QT .msi installation files were not. This is why you are having a problem.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.
