Out of Date Quicktime Software

Whenever Quicktime loads (via iTunes, one of my son's computer games, etc.) I get an error window that reads:
"Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." I can click "cancel" or "Do It Now", but every time I click on "Do It Now" I get the following error "Information Received from the QuickTime server is invalid. Please try again later."
Once I got it to get me to an install screen and it ran fine, but then I had this problem again. I've removed Quicktime, installed the latest version, and when I run Quicktime and ask it to look for updates, it says I'm up to date.
Any thoughts?

Did you ever figure this out? It is driving me insane.....

Out of date skills & Software; help!

My skills and software are so out of date. I used to do Graphic & Web Desigin; & now would like to update my skills and software. I can't decide which route to go. Are there any good online classes, or should I register at the Community College (but unfortunately all the classes are full already). If there are good tutorials out there, or online courses, please let me know. Also where can I find discounted software. I'd like a class on InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and web design. Please help if you can!
Thanks!

I've got some book recommendations, broken down by application here: http://www.theindesignguy.com/indesign-book-recommendations.shtml
For video training, Lynda.com, at $25/month is a bargain.
You'll need to be enrolled in a qualifying school with enough credits to qualify for student pricing. I don't think one class will do it.

You need to upgrade OS X in order to upgrade Safari.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)

       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Error message "some of your quicktime software is out of date...."

After about 8 hrs of troubleshooting so far I need help here...please...I have a new ipod touch 3g (32gb) that requires itunes-9 and i have itunes-8. when i try to load itunes-9 i get the same error message about apx. half way thru the install. at the point of install status "initializing quicktime types" the error message comes up: "some of your quicktime software is out of date, You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version" with the choice to "cancell" or "do it now" and I have tried "do it now" many times and other times tried cancell but either way it just ends up coming back many times with the same error message and either freezes the computer or eventually after maybe 15-20 error messages stops but the unstall is frozen. I have already tried uninstalling quicktime, itues, etc and spent 1.5 hours on the phone with Apple support and they can't figure it out. Please help...I appreciate your support.

Some other application may have installed older QuickTime componentry on the PC.
First let's have a closer look in your \system32\ to see if we can find any misplaced componentry down there.
First, in My Computer go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View" tab. Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and that "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked. OK out of the Tab.
Now navigate to C:\Windows\system32\. (It might be easiest to switch to "List" view at this point.)
What files or folders can you see in \system32\ with QuickTime in the title?
(On a PC with a standard QuickTime installation, you should see precisely two files:
QuickTime.qts
QuickTimeVR.qtx
... and no Quicktime folders whatsoever.)

Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem...

I keep getting this error every time I start itunes or anything that uses QuickTime:

'Cancel' 'Do It Now'
If I click 'Cancel', the program seems to run fine. If I click "Do It Now', I get the following:
Information received from the QuickTime server is in valid. Please try again later.
I have tried everything and have had this problem since December of '06. Anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

Quicktime software is out of date - NOT!

I saw this question answered for XP, but I have Windows Vista.
For years now, when I open itunes, quicktime or even the apple website, I get the following... 'Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version'. The choices given are Cancel or Do It Now. If I select Cancel, it closes and things usually function normally, or it may ask me again several times (asked me four times on the way to this forum). If I select Do It Now, it says Information received from the QuickTime server is invalid. Try later. This course of action usually freezes things up.
There must be part of an old Quicktime version lurking that I need to seek out and destroy. Apple support recently (Nov 29, 2010) assisted with an uninstall and reinstall of the latest version of itunes and quicktime for another issue I was having. itunes wouldn't open. I had hoped that would fix this too, but it didn't.
How do I seek out and destroy the offending files? Thanks

There must be part of an old Quicktime version lurking that I need to seek out and destroy.
Indeed. Let's go checking in the most likely location.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

"Some of your quicktime software is out of date" Message

Hi,
I have a problem with quicktime for which I would like advice. The symptom is that each time quicktime is loaded or accessed, there is a pop-up message box which says,"Some of your quicktime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." There's a cancel button, which I use nearly every time, and a "Do It Now" button. Note that I am running the latest version of quicktime.
When I use the "Do It Now" button, I get an error message pop-up which says,"Information obtained from the Quicktime server is invalid. Please try again later." I don't use quicktime stand alone for anything, so I don't really know if it's working OK. It seems to be, but I've not done a thorough testing. The dominant symptom is in iTunes, where I experience lock-ups. I spoke with an Apple technical support person for a while about it, and we (re)did the compulsory uninstall, reinstall stuff to no avail.
The Apple guy pointed me to an Apple website detailing some methods to fix various problems with iTunes/quicktime. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976) I have tried everything there. One of the things was an experiment to try to detect interactions with other programs. Using MSCONFIG, I did a custom start-up which enabled nothing but quicktime. No change. I have removed (ctrl-panel->add/remove programs...) many of the programs which were installed. No change.
Questions/Comments?
Thanks for any info,
jimmBob

I just got off the phone with an Apple technician, and we solved the error problem. Basically we just went through my whole computer searching for all quicktime and iTunes files that were left behind. Be sure to check your C: > Windows > System32 folder for ANY and ALL QuickTime files. The files we found that caused the error were hidden in a filed titled "quicktime" in the System32 folder. Make sure you delete it, uninstall all iTunes and QuickTime programs (including Apple Software Update and Apple Mobile Device Support) from the Control Panel, and reinstall the latest files for iTunes and QuickTime and the error should go away.
Hope this helps!

"Some of your Quicktime software is out of date" popup

I must have had an earlier version of quicktime installed on my computer, but I have updated to 7.2, all the patches etc.. And I get this error. I have gone as far as uninstalling all Apple components, deleting all refrences to Quiktime in the regtistry and reinstalling. The same messgae comes up in two seperate popups. The annoyance level in unbeliveable. Any assistance getting rid of these would be appreciated. I saw the question posted on the forum for an earlier release of QT and the fix was to patch it. I have even upgraded to PRO in an effort to get more support for this issue. Any assistance would be great.

I also am plagued with this problem. In case it helps anyone to diagnose this issue, here is how it started on my computer. It showed up immediately after installing Kid Pix Deluxe 3. During the install, the Kid Pix software said that I needed to install Quicktime to run the program. Since I already had the latest iTunes/Quicktime softare (v7.4), I chose not to install it (the Kid Pix CD had Quicktime 5). When I restarted my computer, it immediately brought up the "Some of your Quicktime software is out of date..." dialog box. Ever since, programs that access Quicktime in some way cause the "...out of date..." dialog to appear. As of yet I have not seen any solution that works; the recommendations to uncheck Flash files in the MIME settings and to uncheck automatic updates did not work for me. Uninstalling Kid Pix and repairing my Quicktime and iTunes installation do not fix the problem either. I have not tried completely uninstalling and then reinstalling Quicktime and iTunes.

I have Mac OS X 10.4.11. I keep getting a message that QuickTime plug in is out of date. I've done software updates and this hasn't resolved them warning. Any suggestions?

I have Mac OS X 10.4.11 and use Firefox. I keep getting a message that QuickTime 7.6.6 plug in is out of date. I have done the software update and it shows no current updates available. Certain videos won't play and it says that this may make my computer vulnerable. Any suggestions?

Are you using the lastest version of Firefox for os 10.4.11? If you are, start using TenFourFox. Quicktime works just fine with that browser.

"some of your Quicktime software is out of date," And then the fun starts

I get the "out of date" message frequently. If I select "do it now", I am usually told "Info received from the QT server is invalid. Please try again later." Occasionally, I'll get a Dialogue Box listing five Quicktime components. If I select Update, I get a message informing me that I don't have authority from the Administrator (ME) and a more privileged user will have to update for me.
In addition, attempts to use Apple websites and ITunes result in crashes of Internet Explorer. I can navigate thru Safari, though, and my ITouch syncs OK.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes and Quicktime several times but the problems persist, I even get the "out of date" message during the install process. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That sounds like there may be old misplaced QuickTime componentry lurking about in your system, Jack. Let's go looking for that.
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive your operating system is installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit Vista:* Open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit Vista:* Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Continuous pop-up "software is out of date"

I recently updated Quick Time player. Now everytime I click on the icon for QT or any program that uses it, I get a pop-up message box that says "Some of your Quick Time software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." I can cancel the box easy enough but it is annoying. If I select "do it now" for the update, I am taken back out to update again and I get another pop-up message box telling me my software needs updated. I have verified that I have the latest version of the player Version 7.5(861). What gives?

This can sometimes happen if there are program files from older QuickTime versions (or older QuickTime componentry installed by other applications) lurking about in your system.
Let's see if there's anything like that about.
First, open My Computer. Go "Tools > Folder Options", click the view tab.
Make sure "Show hidden files or folders" is selected.
Make sure "Hide filename extensions for known filetypes is unchecked.
OK out of the tab.
Now navigate to C:\Windows\System32\
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? In a standard QuickTime 7.x installation, there should be just two files (QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx), and no folders.

QuickTime Files Out of Date

Any time I start itunes,use the Apple site or try to use QuickTime, I get a pop up stating "Some of your Quick Time software is out of date. You can fix this by updating to the latest version (then choices of: 'Cancel', 'Do it now')". If I select 'Do it now', I get a second pop up which says "Information received from the Quick Time Server is Invalid. Please try again later."
Itunes seems to work if I select "Cancel". The Apple site keeps giving me the same popups.
I have uninstalled, and reinstalled Itunes/Quicktime with no impact. I've uninstalled the Apple Updater. I've tried the "DO it now" both behind a firewall and on an 'open' home DSL line with the same next pop up.
Thanks for your help.

Not of any help, but misery loves company. I am having the same problem with Windows XP that had some older versions of quicktime on it. I have attempted to all traces of the old software, but whenever I download and attempt to use the current Quicktime download I get an error code like yours where I am instructed that "Some of your quicktime software is out of date.You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version" The box in which the error message appears seems to be of the style seen with older windows programs like Win 98. Anyway, as long as the new Quicktime is installed but not working properly then I can not access the apple store. Also everytime the error code appears windows pops up with its own message stating that Quicktime has encountered a problem and needs to close.
I too found no boxes checked when I looked under compatability as suggested by one poster. I tool have found no viruses.
I have not tried the safe mode installation suggested by one poster.
Do you have any older games installed that used older versions of Quicktime?

QuickTime out of date error...

OSX 10.4.11 Updates to QuickTime and Java.
Browser says out of date. Updater says up-to-date. Is this version no longer supported?
How can I update QuickTime and Java then without upgarding? I wish to keep a back channel to OS9

Mac OS X Tiger was discontinued years ago, and if Software Update doesn't detect any new update, it's because you are running the latest Java and QuickTime version for Tiger.
Apart from that, I see that you have a G5, so the most recent Mac OS X version you can use is Mac OS X Leopard, another version that it's (or it's going to be) discontinued soon. PowerPC support is completely dead now, and if you want the most recent QuickTime and Java versions, you will need a Intel-based Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, that have got the latest Java 6 versions and they are compatible with Java 7

Quicktime out of date message that won't go away

This message appears every time I open iTunes:
"Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version."
Problem is, updating does not make this go away, and updates of iTunes are actually stalled at the QuickTime step, which is a pain in the ***. I've done the following:
1. Reinstalled iTunes
2. Used windows Add/Remove to uninstall QuickTime and then reinstalled just QuickTime
3. Gotten the latest Windows installer (installer 3.1 for Windows XP)
