ITunes 7.4.2 and Quicktime now crash immediately on start up :(

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem.
I have just upgraded to v7.4.2 of iTunes with Quicktime and now when I startup iTunes and Quicktime the programs crash immediately saying,
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
Anyone been able to sort this out? I have tried repairing the installation but this does not help. I do not particularly want to uninstall iTunes as I will lose all my playlists / podcasts etc.
Thanks,
John

Hi all - I have solved this - I remember I uninstalled a codec pack and since then Quicktime failed to work.
To solve the problem, I downloaded the latest standalone version of Quicktime and uninstalled Quicktime from my system, then reinstalled using the standalone version.
Worked a dream...... Hopes this helps someone else

    Two previous questions may not have been as clear as I would have liked. I recently upgraded my MacBook 2008 (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). With the updates came iTunes 11.1.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I am still using Garageband 2008 and iPhoto 2008. When I create music in Garageband I usually adjust the volume and save it. Even now when I share the Garageband created files with iTunes 11.1.1, the volime I previously set in Garageband is retained. However, when I use the music to create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime 7.6.6, the volume level I previously set is lost and seems to default to a low level. The problem seems to be either in the slide show export from iPhoto 2008 to Quicktime 7.6.6 or in Quicktime itself. Is there a work around, so that I can retain the volume level I had previously set in Garageband, a volume level that seems to transfer without problem to the new iTunes. But then iPhoto 2008 (slide show) possibly or Quicktime 7.6.6 do not cooperate. Before I did the upgrade to Snow Leopard, the new iTunes and Quicktime I had no problems with the set volume being retained in the old Quicktime. The reason I need control over the volume is that all these music files are uploaded to YouTube.

  • Safari and quicktime keep crashing

    if i run quicktime it crashes as does safari. this is new to me. i've been a mac user for twenty years now and apple's have been known to me for reliability, but this is getting ridiculous. does this have anythig to do w/the new intel macs?
    or does safari and quicktime need a apatch?
    mind you this is new, when i got the g-5 i didn't have a problem but recently both safari and quicktime keeps crashing intermittantely and it's annoying to say the least.
    thanx

    Based on your inquiry, I'd assume you're using one of the new Intel Macs? If that is so, there is an issue right now where Quicktime and the new procs seem to not like each other much. If you're experiencing this, try forcing QuickTime to open using Rosetta.

  • I recently tried to update iTunes to 11.1, and am now getting an error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.d11 was not found."  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times.  Am running Windows XP Svc Pack 3.  help

    I recently tried to update iTunes to 11.1, and am now getting an error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times with no success.  I am running Windows XP Svc Pack 3.  Help please.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Mac. Yosemite- Illustrator CS6 and CC both crash right after starting. Have Suitcase 6 (not 5). current Wacom drivers. Tablet not connected to Mac. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Hi,
    Scott Agnew,
    Please check if there are any updates pending for Suitcase fusion and Illustrator.
    You can also try resetting AI preferences.
    User Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator [#] Settings
    Rename Adobe Illustrator [#] Settings to old Adobe Illustrator [#] Settings
    User Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator/Version[#]
    Rename Version[#] to old Version[#]
    Access user library Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later
    Do you get any crash report. Look if it says anything for Wacom or extensis?
    Thanks,

    OR WHAT CAN I DO TO RESTORE MY COMPUTER THERE IS A LOT INFORMATION THERE WHY MAVERICKS IS TROUBLESHOOTING.

    Don't post in all caps.  Besides being more difficult to read it's tantamount to shouting and is considered rude in forums.  What problems are you having? What model Mac do you have, how much RAM and free space on the boot drive?
    Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and try the following in order as needed:
    1 - select Disk Utility and repair both the disk and disk permissions.  Reboot normally.
    2 - reinstall the Mavericks system.

    That's clearly an issue with Intel graphic drivers. Install the latest graphic driver from Intel's website and check.

  • Upgraded iTunes and Quicktime now whole puter not working

    I just upgraded iTunes and Quicktime for OSX 10.4, now after a restart i finder just keeps flashing, on and off and i cant open anything. Need help to fix or go bak to old versions?

    thanks sarah, but the disk didnt work. i get to verifying my main drive and it comes back with:
    First Aid Failed
    Disk Utility stopped verifying "***" because the following error was encountered:
    The underlying task reported failure on exit
    and in the first aid window it says:
    Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
    Checking volume **** needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    I try to repair disk anyway but says the same thing on trying to do that?? any suggestions anyone?
    Could i get the update for 10.4.8 and put on a disk to upgrade the OS from booting from the CD or from terminal mode? Does anyone think this could fix the prob?

  • Updated iTunes and QuickTime, now neither will launch

    I installed iTunes 7.1 and QT 7.1.5 tonight. Immediately after restarting, I was unable to launch Firefox 2.0.0.2 or reinstall it. In researching that problem, I've discovered I cannot launch iTunes or QT Player.
    With each app, the triangle appears next to the icon in the dock when I launch it, but then the color wheel spins for awhile, the system hangs, and the application stops launching. There's no error dialog. The Finder appears to restart, too, because the Dock and the Finder bar disappear and reappear.
    Any suggestions for what to restall, which files to trash, etc?
    Thanks.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    TD, thanks for the suggestions, but I'm still stuck. Here's what I've tried:
    1. Deleted the com.apple.iTunes.plist file, restarted iTunes and it would not launch.
    2. Created new account, tried launching iTunes. It did not launch.
    3. Downloaded and reinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, then restarted. iTunes, QuickTime, and Firefox would not launch.
    4. Re-reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, restarted, still unable to launch iTunes or QuickTime.
    Any further ideas? I'm stumped! Thanks.

  • Final cut pro and quicktime both crashing!

    Hello
    I posted this topic before:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18279503#18279503
    I'm using fcp HD 4.5 and quicktime 7.6.6 on Leopard 10.5.8.  Final cut has been crashing, and now quicktime is crashing.  They are both dropping frames.  I am losing the ability to use flash player as well (for instance, I can't click on video links on facebook but I can still watch youtube).  Does flash player have something to do with dropped frames/crashing?
    Also, someone suggested I upgrade to fcp 6 with quicktime 7.6.6 on Leopard.  They suggested ebay but does anyone else have any suggestions where I might find it?
    Thanks!

    Shane & Dave answered your FCP/QT compatibility question in your other thread.
    If QT itself is crashing and so is Flash, that would make me suspect something has gone wrong with your system (operating system, not necessarily the hardware).
    If you recently installed or upgraded Flash, that could perhaps be a factor.  In today's environment, more & more Mac applications are Intel-specific and they could cause problems on a PPC Mac.  I cannot tell if that is the case for you, but it's something to be aware of if you continue to use a PPC Mac.

  • How do I reinstall iTunes 11.1.4 and Quicktime to Windows 7 PC?

    I have noticed a fair number of users being unable to reinstall 11.1.4 by iTunes after deinstalling due to errors from the update. I have attempted to reinstall several times but the download installation never shows up on the desktop even though the welcome comment from the manufacturer thanks me for installing the product.
    How do I reinstall iTunes and Quicktime and actually get the product back to my PC for use? I am using Windows 7 and have been a supporter of the iTunes for several years and would appreciate being a happy customer again! Thank you.

    I have attempted to reinstall several times but the download installation never shows up on the desktop even though the welcome comment from the manufacturer thanks me for installing the product.
    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Itunes 8.02.02 and QuickTime 7.5.5 Problems

    I don't know when it happened since I don't play a lot of video on Itunes or my PC, but yesterday I wanted to download a TV show but I kept getting a bunch of colored lines and then a blank screen.
    I have completely unistalled both Itunes and QuickTime (following the direction on the support site), but I still have the same problem. If i try to play QuickTime outside of Itunes, I have the same problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions.
    Thanks

    I upgraded all three downloads - iTunes, Safari and QuickTime and was unable to open iTunes after install. I read through some of these suggestions ans I installed QuickTime again, but chose the second option -- WITHOUT iTunes. I did not UNINSTALL anything. And after doing this I was able to access iTunes again.

  • ITunes store movie download and quicktime and other media players

    (1) Have bought a movie and downloaded it from the iTunes store.It playable using quicktime but not playable on the other 5 media players installed on my laptop.Is this the way it should be?
    (2) Quicktime is the only player (irrespective of the format)that does not work using the 's-video out'on my laptop.Is that the way it should be......thanks

    II'm having the same exact problem! I rented this movie and tried to download it. It got all the way to the "processing" stage at the end but then failed and I had to retry the download. Well it kept saying that I had to retry so I restarted my iPad and checked tried to I check under my downloads in the iTunes Store. The downloads tab had disappeared so I decided to check under my videos and sure enough it was there. I went to the movie and there was a play arrow and a cloud with an arrow on it to download it. I tried to play it and I brought me to the movie screen but then closed and brought me back to the home page. Then I tried to download it from there but it would just say: "You've already rented this movie but it is not download. Go to the iTunes Store to manage your downloads."  So I go back to the iTunes Store but can't find downloads anywhere. (it's not by the purchased tab on the bottom right) I tried to search the movie again and instead of saying rent or buy, it says watch but when I try to tap "watch" it bring me to videos and the black movie screen but then closes again!! This is extremely frustrating and if anyone knows what to do that would be great. also I rented a movie today (divergent) to see if my previous movie, Hancock (the one I'm having troubles with) would appear in the downloads also. Sadly it did not, but divergent downloaded and played with no problems and it is also a larger movie.
