No function after iTunes/Quicktime update
After restarting my G4 Power Mac when the iTunes/Quicktime update had installed, my screen went to blue and froze. I did a hard reboot and now any program I open quits within seconds and I can't open any of my folders! When I try to open something, everything but the dock (toolbar and desktop icons) disappears and come back in a few seconds. Is this an iTunes issue or is there something else going on?
Try booting in Safe Mode. Hold down the Shift key during startup. If that doesn't do it, try holding down the X key during startup. If that doesn't start it up, I think you need to post over in the forum that applies to your particular machine (iBook, MacBook, iMac, etc.) The pros over there might be able to help. Don't hesitate to post back if you have more questions.

Rosetta no longer functions after iTunes & Quicktime update
I got off the 3rd phone call to AppleCare (three techs and product specialist -- the least helpful in the bunch by the way) and finally isolated the problem I'm having but the reaction from the AppleCare guy (the last one pretty much freaked) means there is little hope for a quick solution from Apple.
After updating iTunes and Quicktime using OSX software update. I could no longer launch legacy apps that operate using rosetta (i.e MS Office, AppleWorks, JMP, etc.). Additionally, if I go into GetInfo from the finder and click "Open using Rosetta" that app will no longer launch. In both cases the app simply (if clicked from the finder) appears briefly in the dock and then disappears.
When I had AppleCare on the line the guy went to confirm something with me on his machine and was very surprised to find that his copy of MS Word was not working either (his word were something like: "Good Lord, the menus are all grayed out, huh?". At which point I decided there was not going to be a fix. He sent me some articles on Archive and Install, which I may do but I'm hoping not to go that route.
I've got one more symptom that may help others figure out what's happening, which will hopefully mean you can help me fix this:
When I try and launch an app (legacy or universal) from the command line using rosetta (see this for more info) I get: Segmentation fault!
Okay, first would someone out there confirm that this is not happening on their system. Then, one of you brilliant souls, let me know what I can do to fix it. Is there a sneaky way I could bust into a package/install image and install a fresh copy of the rosetta libraries etc? My experience with Segmentation Fault usually points to the executable being broken, but I'm by no stretch of the imagination an expert.
Regards,
David G.You won't like this but I figured out QT smashed rosetta soon after installing the ituunes/quicktime updates when quicken wouldn't load...i knew it was one of the major apps that was never released for universal...at first i assumed the apple update had just broken quicken and checked the quicken site, finding no posts...then it dawned on me that the QT update must have damaged the System so I went hunting in my apps for other rosetta-only apps, found an old CD label printing program and it exhibited the same behaviors.
I went to the apple site and the company has not posted any info on the bug, then went looking for a standalone rosetta installer...couldn't find one
Here's the part you won't like: my mac mini is 3 months old. I dug out the os x install disks and reinstalled the system. Then went through and reinstalled system updates. Reinstalling the system killed norton so I had to reinstall that too (no wonder i keep all the installer disks as dmg's on the ministack).
Result of all this, replacing the system, was that Rosetta is now working again.
I then went on to install ram, that went less smoothly and my local geniuses were less ingenious by this point, but that's another story for a paperweight website. -
After iTunes/Quicktime update, no flash in Firefox
Hi,
I have now several times had the same problem after I updated iTunes and quicktime, the flash objects in Firefox get the question mark.
I did extensive search on this on the web, apple forum and firefox forum and have now found one solution that has worked couple of times for me.
After the iTunes/Quicktime is updated, and you get question marks instead of flash objects.
Solution:
1. Close firefox
2. Go to the firefox plugins directory. Can be found at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
3. Remove all npqtplugin.dll files (usually 7 of them, numbered as npqtplugin[2..7].dll).
4. Start firefox, and test some flash based page.
This solution works at Windows 2000, Firefox 2.x and latest iTunes/Quicktime.I don't understand, where on my computer is such a Firefox plug ins list.
My situation is similar, but I notice Quicktime/Flash failures on ALL my browsers...I.E., Netscape, Real Player. Isn't this something Apple should be taking care of, having messed up our software with their download?
How do I reverse the download-Quicktime 7.1.5, etc?
Thanks

Loginwindow (Not Responding) after iTunes & Quicktime update
In order to activate my new iPhone this morning I needed to upgrade to iTunes 7.5 and the corresponding Quicktime update. After a reboot and logging in I was presented with the desktop, the dock and a spinning beachball . . . which still hadn't gone away after 10 minutes.
After a while I tried a few things and noticed that the dock was working, until I ctrl clicked on the finder icon that is. After that the dock froze and I rebooted with a long power button press. After logging again I had the same problem, desktop, working dock and spinning beachball.
This time I hit one of my dock stacks and launched the Activity Monitor, only to discover that a process called 'loginwindow' was Not Responding. On force quitting this everything went away and I was back to the login prompt. I logged in again and found the same thing - I can use all the applications I can get to through the dock but have no finder . . .
Any ideas?? HELP!!OK, here's /var/log/system.log from boot. Are the following two lines significant??

Powerbook can't start after itunes/quicktime update
Leopoard was running fine up till now. I just ran the software update for itunes and quicktime, and now my powerbook g4 is stuck in an endless loop of trying to boot--I get to the apple logo and spinning gears but after a bit it just shuts down and starts over.
Any ideas?
Thanks!For those of you with this problem . . . here is another solution that worked for me.
Go here and with a very simple change you can get up an running in Leopard again! Follow the instructions in the 7th post down . . . don't worry . . . you don't really have to do any terminal work. From that post . . . " Apparently there is a conflict with a folder called DivXNetworks in the Library/Application Support folder. If you change the name of this folder to DivXNetworks.prev it may solve the problem. It did in my case. I must say that I do not know what affect the change to that folder will create - but so far I have not noticed any issues"

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?
The problem is with version 10.4.1. I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work. The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me. Here was their list of steps:
Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
2. Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
a. iTunes
b. QuickTime
c. Apple Software Update
d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
e. Bonjour
f. Apple Appllcation Support
3. Reboot PC
4. Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes. To correct this:
5. Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
6. Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
7. Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
8. Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date. It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
9. Reboot PC -
After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.
and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

Can Not download itune/quicktime updates. Lost my playlist and half the songs?
I have a 2nd generation Shuffle that works great. Went to download and Itunes/quicktime update from Apple. Got a message saying part of the system needed for the upgard was missing. When I went to my Itunes my playlist was gone. There was a bunch of blank floders. No way to sync the player wihthe computer or download new songs. All I can to is charge my shuffle. Tried to delete and reload Itunes with no luck. Any ideas?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -

ipad no longer functions after accepting an updated version of "Hayday"
Unfortunately it was a blinding flash of the obvious that fixed my issue...
Simply rebooting the iMac brought it back to life.
Duh.
I assumed that since Apple usually forces reboots after updates if they are required that this didn't require one, apparently it did. -

<Re-Titled By Host>Hello mzshay2u2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac. First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

What are "Apple software updates"? Where is "iTunes & QuickTime" update?
When starting iTunes today, I got the box asking if I wanted to install 10.4. I clicked yes then got the big box that I've seen many times. It usually has MobileMe, iTunes & QuickTime, and an offer to install Safari. Today, and recently, I haven't seen the "iTunes & QuickTime" update option; it's been replaced by something like "Apple software updates." Today it was version 2.... Previously, I haven't gone ahead with the "Apple software updates" because I don't know what this consists of and it looks suspicious to me. Today, I again quit instead of updating "Apple software."
Thanks for the reply.
I've had iTunes since 2007 and don't recall "Apple software update" 'till recently. Perhaps the reason I've seen the message several times now, and again today, is that I've not installed it. It would then make sense to prompt me today before going ahead with the 10.4 update. Make sense to you?
Actually, from what I've seen on the forum today, I expect another iTunes update very soon, so I think I'll wait. -
IMac G5 freezes on start up after ITunes, Quicktime and Security update
On June 2nd, the following event occurred on my IMac G5 (model year 2005) equipped Mac OS 10.4.9
Upon completion of the automatic update for Itunes, Quicktime and a security update, the computer restarted.
However, the start-up sequence freezes on a grey screen with the logo for the power button displayed in the middle and a message inviting to hold down the poer button down for 5 sec to re-start.
the only way to complete the start up sequence is to hold down the apple key while pressing the power button.
Does anyone have any suggestions to regain control of my computer ?thank you in advance.Welcome to Discussions - Hopefully, you repaired permissions both before and after updating, if not, it might be a good thing to do now. Also, you are not alone in having problems with the update, take a look at this.
Generally, it's better to install updates one by one, so that if you have problems, you know which one caused them.

ITUNES/QUICKTIME UPDATE IS CRITICAL!!!
Hello folks,
I just updated my new Leopard systems on an iMac G5 to iTunes 7.2 and Quicktime 7.3, and IT CRAHSED MY SYSTEM. It boots, but finder does not come up any more. There is something buggy with it. Up to that moment, Leopard was working fine, and I started to like the new ideas. I will NOT update my other computers.I couldn't boot after installing the update. I was stuck in an endless loop of trying to boot and restarting itself. There are 3 reports of this so far in the Leopard discussion area.
After rebuilding my directory with diskwarrior, I'm back in business. Good news is that now my ipod mini is recognized. The whole reason I ran the update was that my mini couldn't connect to my powerbook after installing Leopard.
I don't think this update is ready for primetime. -
Can't open GarageBand after latest Quicktime Update
Not sure, but I think after downloading latest Quicktime update, GarageBand won't open. It bounces in the dock, then a bar that says "initializing" appears, but never gets past that. Any advice. TIA
Incredible that this can even happen with an update to QT. It happened to me with the 2.01 GB update.
Did all I could to fix it, but no avail. I ended up reinstalling the OS. -
External Firewire HD dead after iTunes 7 update - won't mount!
I have a pretty serious problem.
I have a 70gb music library that I keep on a Lacie Porsche 250gb external Firewire HD. The first time I ran iTunes 7, it gave me the spinning ball and locked up when "determining gapless information". I had to force quit iTunes.
A few hours later, the external drive started making a high pitched noise, and now it won't mount at all. It's also not visible in Disk Utility or Diskwarrior. I'm at a loss!
I have lots of very valuable information stored on my external drive, so I'm really hoping I can do something to revive it.
powerbook g4 500mhz Mac OS X (10.4.7)
powerbook g4 500mhz Mac OS X (10.4.7)I recently had exactly the same problem with the 200GB model prior to the iTunes 7 update, so would concur that you're probably looking at a hardware quality issue. Thankfully the problems seem to be more related to power supply rather that the drive itself so you may be able to regain the data by swapping this over to a new external caddy as I did, but be wary of warranty issues.
Good luck ...

ok, I did post something similar to this in another thread: firefox for me tends to hang on some odd stuff. Specifically clicking on a .torrent link (which should open a OpenWith/SaveAs dialog box) hangs the entire thing, and I am required to kill a
