IMovie QuickTime Component Error Message

I keep getting the error "The QuickTime components necessary to view, edit, import, and export several kinds of movies are not installed. These components are included with the iMovie installer; please re-install." Reinstall didn't work. What should I do?

Someone else on the Discussion Board was a getting an error somewhat similar to this (QuickTime components/codecs missing). I found there was a downloadable installer listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396
Try downloading it and installing it, maybe it will get some results.

  • Business component errors messages

    I would like to customize the Business component errors messages in order for it to be more explicite
    For example, I would like to translate the following error message:
    DAC-305: DbAccess commitTransaction failed. Session: modelSessionInfo
    JBO-26041: Failed to post data to database during "Delete": SQL Statement " DELETE FROM HW_MODEL HwModel WHERE MODEL_ID=:1".
    ORA-02292: integrity constraint (ISM.CT_MODEL_FK) violated - child record found
    into a more comprehensive message, i.e. :
    You must delete all dependent items before this model
    can I cature the business component errors messages and create a dictionary
    How can I do that?
    Thank for you reply

    Vincent,
    Here is something that was posted last year.
    http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum2/HTML/002476.html
    I've been looking for something like this too.
    Personally, I think the answer above is ridiculous. Why doesn't JDeveloper allow you to put in an error message along with the validation that you create? Instead you get this ugly, ugly message along the lines of:
    "JBO-27011: Attribute set with value 6 for OffsetCode in TaxCodeLkp failed"
    Yeesh, does it get any uglier than that? Come on guys, give us a string we can specify when creating the validation that you store in the XML and pull out and display. Use this ugly message when there is nothing specified.
    Can anyone from Oracle explain why we have to jump through hoops to do something so basic to development of Business Applications? How did you miss this?

  • IMovie 08 Export Error Message

    I am trying to export from iMovie 08 without any success. I repeatedly get the same error message, but cannot find any reference to the error number anywhere. The error code is -2000. Here is the process that gets me there.
    Import video from Canon Vixia HF m31 AVCHD camcorder to iMovie 08. Video was shot as PF30 (wrapped in 60i in-camera). Imported as "FULL". Trimmed a few seconds from the beginning and end. Share to "Export using Quicktime". Settings in Quicktime:
    Compression: h.264
    Frame Rate: Current
    Key Frame: 24
    Frame Reordering: YES
    Compressor Quality: High
    Encoding: Best (Multi-Pass)
    Data Rate: Automatic
    Size: 1280x720HD
    Prepare for Internet Streaming: Fast Start
    Am I doing anything wrong with any of these settings? The movie does start to encode, but about 1/2 way thru I get the error message. Does anyone have any idea what that error code means?
    My export destination is Internet streaming, preferably at 720p for nice full-screen viewing.
    Other tools I already have: iMovie HD, JES Deinterlacer, MPEG Streamclip, Quicktime 7.6.6
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Ok, I came back to document the solution in case anyone else ever has the problem.
    After 2 hours on the phone with Apple, it was determined that my Home>Movies folder was corrupted. Prior to that, we deleted preferences, caches, tried encoding the movie under a separate account on the same computer (worked fine there!), and a bunch of other things. It finally worked after we shut down iMovie, renamed the Home>Movies folder to Movies.old, reopened iMovie which created a new Movies folder, re-imported the footage, created a new project, and then exported.
    Hope that helps someone else.
    Thanks for the response, Appleman.

  • My podcast won't open.  Quicktime/iTunes error message.

    I just tried to open one of the podcasts to which I subscribe only to get an error message saying that it requires Quicktime which is not supported by this version of iTunes.  I checked and the iTunes is the most recent version.  I have Quicktime on board as well.  So I have no clue how to open this podcast now.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Gretchen

    Hello,
    I just triaged and fixed this issue for the podcast service we're running.
    Wherever you're getting the itpc:// link from likely has all of the Quicktime files referenced with spaces in the URL... at least this is what the problem was for our podcasts. Once I added %20 to the empty spaces in the URL path in the target XML file that iTunes references and overwrote it on the server, everything started downloading and parsing with no hiccups.
    You may need to reach out to whoever is formatting the XML to change the spaces. I believe you can do some code where you declare the link in a URI syntax. If you search stackoverflow's site, you'll find it.
    Hope this was helpful.

  • Could not initialize the browser's security component Error message when sending a link

    Using Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. Firefox version is 3.6.3 and Thunderbird version is 2.0.0.24
    When sending a link with Firefox I get an error message "Could not initialize the browser's security component...". Tried deleting the cert8.db and secmod.db. Noticed if Thunderbird is already open I don't get the error message. But if Thunderbird is closed then opens to send the link I get that error message. Seems the security certificates aren't being passed to Thunderbird when it is opening up.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == 2 days ago.

    Try to remove or rename the secmod.db (secmod.db.old) file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    If that didn't help then remove or rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Quicktime Installation error message

    I have been trying to install iTunes and keep getting the error message "The older version of Quicktime cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group".
    I followed some of the instruction from previous posts. I've deleted any file with "quicktime" or "qt" in the name, restarted and tried installing just QT w/o iTunes. Still keep getting this error message. When I tried just installing QT, during the installation I got an error message saying it could not locate the ".msi" file, so I cancelled then got the "older version" message. Any ideas?

    download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility, then use it to remove any existing QuickTime installation configuration information:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll make sure we've manually removed all leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

  • Strange Quicktime Player Error Message

    One of the movies in my iTunes library suddenly stopped working and when I attempted to play it using Quicktime, I got the following error message while QT was trying to open the file: "The movie could not be opened. An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie." Does anyone have any idea what that means?

    first, make sure you have flip4mac or perian plugins installed. you won't be able to play wmv files without those. next, it's probably looking for a QT player 7 and doesn't know where it is. select a wmv file and enter command+i. in the resulting popup go to the "open with section" and set it to open with QT player X (or 7 if you want) and click "change all".

  • WD Drive Manager Services component error message MyBook Studio Edition II 2TB on iMac

    For five months I have been using a WD MyBook Studio Edition II 2TB in RAID 1 mode on a 27" iMac i7, 2.93 GHz, running Mac OS X 10.6.7, as a Time Machine connected via FW800.  Initial installation and operation was all good.
    Recently, the blue WD logo disappeared from the menu bar. I reinstalled the WD Drive Manager version 2.25 from the installation disk. The logo reappeared, however when selecting Launch WD RAID Manager from the menu an error message appears:
    "The WD Drive Manager Services component could not be found. Make sure the Drive Services component is running first."
    I removed the WD Drive Manager with the installation disk and reinstalled and tried again. No good.
    Tried again, this time using the USB connection with the same result. No joy.
    Tried using the downloadable version (2.25) from the WD website with same results.
    Searching Google lead to no hits on anything remotely related for a solution.
    So, at this point, I cannot confirm that the drive is actually in RAID 1 mode. It shows up in the Finder as a 1TB drive with 268 GB used.
    How can I restore a working version of the WD Drive Manager?
    WD Tech Support has escalated the issue to programmer level but without a successful solution. They suggested I post here as well to see if any other Mac users may have had this problem and have found a solution.
    Thanks for any assistance or referral.

    Unfortunately you probably will not find very many if anyone using WD Drive Manager here, most of us are using a variety of backup strategies that include Time Machine, an on-line backup and a Bootable Clone made with CarbonCloner or SuperDuper.

  • System32 and Quicktime.cpl error message

    If I try to run Quicktime from control panel I get the error
    An exception occurred trying to run C:\\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RUNDLL "C:\WINDOWS\System32\Quicktime.cpl", Quicktime
    When I try to start off desktop, my harddrive just grinds a little, but Quicktime never starts up. Nor Picture viewer. Only thing that works is 'read me'. Running latest QT with XP, IE7, Nvidia Geforce, Dell 8200. I can view movie trailers and demo on Quicktime.com no problem.

    i've got the same message when i try to go to the MIME settings in the browser tab. When i copy the file quicktime.cpl from C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem to C:\Windows\System32 i dont get the error. But when i try update my quicktime software i will get the error again.
    I found this problem because i want to play a hd trailer on a website in firefox. But when i try it ask for plugins that i must install. When i click on that it cant be automatic installed, so i must to it manual. When im redirected to the apple page for manualy installing quicktime, i try to install it, but it seems that firefox dont see that quicktime is installed. I still get the message about plugins.
    Maybe it has a conflict with the error about quicktime.cpl
    btw, when i get the quicktime.cpl error, the quicktime windows close by itself.

  • Quicktime Pro Error Message Using iSight To Record

    Just wanted to post this quick fix to an issue I had (BTW), before I FIGURED THIS OUT, I called Apple support and was told I'd have to pay $199.00 for QT Support... nice Apple. Anyway, if you are trying to record using the built in iSight camera and get an error message "can't record video" (I'm paraphrasing) check to see where you're saving the video (as in the folder). QT defaulted to my desktop, but it had little RED hash (minus) sign on it. I changed the saved folder location to my "Movies" folder and it worked (FYI: I changed it back to my desktop folder to see if that was really the issue, but it worked fine, so I'm not sure what desktop folder it was looking at, maybe a shared one).
    Hope this helps someone and it's free.
    PS: Check your settings in preferences as well.

  • Quicktime component errors when I start iMovie' 11 on iMac?? Help.

    Getting the following error in iMovie when I open it now.  It doesn't seem to be importing movies anymore from my computer.
    I removed the imovie APP... into the Trash folder.  Redownloaded it from the APP store but  it is still giving the same error when
    I run it.
    How do I fix this... anyone can help me please?
    THanks

    I would suggest reinstalling OSX. You can reinstall from the Restore Partition. (Restart Mac and hold down the Option key)
    If this is in the first 90 days, or if you have AppleCare, you can call and have them help you through it for free.

  • QuickTime installation error message....PLZ HELP

    The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\ProgramFiles\QuickTime. Installation cannot continue. Log in as an administrator.  This is the message i get when installing QuickTime.  I am logged in as admin.  and ive also tried changing the file name and it wont let me do that either. 

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
