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"

  • 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.

  • 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??

  • 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 installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    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

  • My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    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.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    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?

  • HALP!!!  iTunes won't start after 9.1 update

    Hi
    I was prompted to install the iTunes/Quicktime update on March 30th and - without thinking did so. The update seemed to go well with no errors. On April2nd, I went to start iTunes and it refused with Windows indicating files were missing.
    After hesitating, I backed up all of my music and iTunes config files and then - using the Installer package from Mar 30th - de-installed itunes and then tried to re-install. I am now unable to re-install and the Apple installer tells me
    " There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this installer, could not run. Please re-install".
    Some things I have noted:
    1. The iTunes / Quick time de-install does not get rid of all Apple components in the Windows Program listing (Control panel)
    2. The iTunes de-install does not seem to get rid of the iTunes folder under "MyMusic".
    I am now without ANY iTunes although my music and preferences are safe.... Still, this is a drag!
    HALP

    2. The iTunes de-install does not seem to get rid of the iTunes folder under "MyMusic".
    Don't touch that one! It's got your library and content files in it.

  • 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.

  • After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. Iran

    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.

  • Windows could not start after SP-3 update

    Windows could not start after SP-3 update
    After I updated Apple Software Update to 2.1 and then updated to BC 2.1 successfully I D/L & Installed SP-3. Even got the Wizard & seemed to go OK. Got prompt “Installation Complete, Need to restart.” I did. I got a black screen with text:
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\Windows\inf\biosinfo.inf
    You can attempt to repair the file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select ‘r’ at the 1st screen to repair.
    I used the power button to shut down Windows & then booted into Mac OS X normally.
    I think I need to restart my Mac into Windows (using the Option key ) WHILE THE WINDOWS XP installation CD is in the optical Drive. Then maybe I’ll get a choice to select ‘r’ to repair at the 1st screen?
    Has anyone done this with a similar error & successfully repaired their Windows installation? I don’t know if this is a Boot Camp problem or not. XP SP 2 had been working just fine.
    Thanks for any help.

    Solved! It apparently was NOT a Boot Camp Issue. The fix was to obtain the file “biosinfo.inf” and from the Mac side, go into my WIndows XP HDD & add that file to: Windows/INF folder. (Yes, it was missing). Why my XP SP2 installation worked fine w/o this file is beyond my knowledge. Perhaps this file is needed only when doing a type of major update yet not needed for simply starting & running Windows? There are web pages stating that upgrading to SP 3 can cause this problem if using 3rd party software such as Norton Anti-Virus (I don’t have that but DO have Zone Alarm). There are also various complicated, long fixes out there. For me, replacing that file did the trick & everything seems fine now. (As far as where one “obtains” that file--long story)

  • I can't finish the itunes match update.

    Guys
    I can't finish the itunes match update. In the step 3 the process starts again, again and nevers end. The new purchased song don't show on the list. How can a fix that problem?

    Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.

  • 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.
