Problems removing quicktime

i recently uninstalled the latest quicktime version and then did a system restore to get it back, but now my itunes program is telling me im missing files, i tried reinstalling itunes and quicktime but it gives me and error 3 message at the end of the quicktime part. now, i cant even remove quicktime completly, i tried to remove it via change or remove programs under the control panel and it opens up the installer/uninstaller loading screen but then closes right away. how can i get this off my computer so i can reinstall everything again? system restore isnt helping either

You'd have to go to C:\WINDOWS\Installer DIR and locate what QuickTimeUninstaller_ico exe was left behind after the original QT removal or system restore. There are probably two, they will have a date, remove one or the other and try add\remove programs again. Or maybe the QT uninstaller no longer corresponds with the version you are trying to remove, after the restore, so the add/remove control panel will not remove the program. So then you will have to remove QT manually. Does that make any sense to you?

What do I lose by removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin"?

After upgrading to Leopard (Erase and install, then migrate data from a backup off an external HD), all the flash videos and ads had the Quicktime icon with a question mark on it. After searching through Apple discussions and google, I found a site that suggested removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin" from the library folder. It seemed like a strange fix but I did it anyway since I already went into Quicktime prefs and unchecked "Enable Flash." I also reinstalled Adobe flash player for Safari- both with no luck.
So what will I be losing by removing this plugin? I'm assuming its a necessary plugin.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi

Very necessary. In answer to your question, have a look at this thread, especially QuickTimeKirk's post.
Have you checked your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime Settings panel? In the Miscellaneous panel only QuickTime HTML ought to be selected. If the other boxes are selected, then you'll have problems with QT in Safari.
Regarding Flash, if you reinstalled it, then make sure you "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

Removed Quicktime now iTunes won't open...IDIOT!!

I removed quicktime the other day stupidly thinking that I would not need it for iTunes, and now when I try to open iTunes, it says "Quicktime failed to initialize (error-2093) Quicktime is required to run iTunes, please reinstall iTunes."
So I have the iTunes/quicktime disk that came with my iPod, so I could restore them both, but will this delete all the info from songs I had in iTunes? I mean, I have all the music saved in a seperate music folder, but I had gone into iTunes and corrected the names and info on like thousands of songs, is that all lost?
Any help is appreciated, I'm computer ******** as you can probably tell by my stupid move. Thanks!
Emachines Windows XP

Thanks, but I tried that as well! When I removed quicktime originally, I had tried to install a different quicktime that my friend gave to me, but turns out it was the wrong one. That's when the problems started, so I restored to Sunday when iTunes was working, and it removed the other quicktime I had put in but left me with no quicktime at all and that's when I started getting the first error message.
I think I screwed my computer up somehow lol I appreciate the ideas!

ITunes cannot run because it detects a problem with Quicktime

When I click on the help icon I am prompted to uninstill Quicktime. The problem is, Quicktime isn't in the list of installed programs. It is visable if I go to classic view in the control panel page but I can't seem to delete it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Problem with Quicktime stops Preview in Photoshop? Mac OSX 10.6.8

There were no warnings about Lion blocking old software when I installed Lion. Because purchasing new software was beyond my budget,
I had it removed and went back to Leopard 10.6.8. Now when I'm working in Photoshop and have adjusted an image, a message appears "Because of a problem with Quicktime, a preview can't be built. Quicktime Player 10 is in the Applications folder, and Quicktime Play 7 is in the Utilities folder.
Quicktime movies in Support on the Apple site won't play either. Please advise steps to take or new download.
Thanks!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Many problems installing Quicktime+iTunes

(Keep in mind I have windows 7 64 bit)
I need the firmware update for my iPhone 3g, which normally I avoid because I always seem to have a problem with quicktime installing properly. But since a couple up my apps needed to work, I gave in.
When I tried to run the update through iTunes, it installs everything correctly. When I went back into iTunes, I got an error saying iTunes needs Quicktime to run properly. So I uninstalled both iTunes and Quicktime. I ran the Apple Update utility and it did the same thing. So I went to the web site and installed them separately. Again, iTunes 1, Quicktime 0. Now I get an error that I don't have the right file path for the .msi file.
I looked on the forum for this solution and found that I needed the Windows Installer Utility (to remove installer files that failed?) Removed Quicktime.
Attempted to reinstall again, since I can't get in iTunes, which I really need.
Now, a different set of problems occur. Now all of my icons that are shortcuts are Quicktime icons, and I cannot get into them without finding the original file in my directory. At this point Quicktime is not even on my computer any longer. When I try to install it, I get an error saying "Could not open key Unknown\components\(A bunch of numbers) Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel." I am on the only account on this PC, but to be fair, I did right click the install file and choose "run as administrator."
Please help!!

It's unlikely taking permissions of the registry key will solve install problems for QT when the initial post referred to a msi file.
This is a rare(ish) variation on a problem involving error messages mentioning missing .msi files that mostly affects 64-bit systems. Although the initial symptom for most people is the missing .msi message, if they use CleanUp, the underlying problem with the registry keys relating to the the Side-by-Side configuration of installed componentry for QuickTime (or Apple Application Support) will come to light.
That's what happened to poor Felix here. (Note in his first post that he's said he's already tried using CleanUp to address the .msi message ... so now the registry key issue has come to light.)
If permissions are just not set properly for the keys, regedit can get us through. But if there's underlying trouble with the ACLs (for example, some people get blank permissions on keys, which are impossible to manipulate via regedit) or other exotica going on, things get messy.

Want to remove quicktime and keep Itunes

Hi all -
Quicktime on Windows is one the worst pieces of software I have ever experienced. I just want it removed from my pc, but the problem is that I like Itunes, and Itunes requires Quicktime to run. Is there a way around this?
I have to remove Quicktime because it somehow keeps hijacking my file associations and it breaks flash (read: youtube) every time it does this. After editing Quicktime Preferences this fixes it, but for some reason Quicktime grabs the associations again after every Apple update, which is annoying as ****. Is there any way to remove it and keep Itunes working??

iTunes needs Quicktime to run. The earliest version of Quicktime that the latest version of iTunes will work with is 7.1.6. I'm currently using Quicktime 7.3.1. I can't watch some videos from the iTunes store, but music plays fine which is all I need. Using 7.3.1 also means some vulnerabilities won't be patched. I don't go to sketchy Web sites, and I always use a regular user account for daily computing instead of an Administrator account.

Lots of problems with Quicktime 7.1.3

There is a lot of problems with Quicktime 7.1.3, for starters when you install it, the shorcuts on the start menu doesn't show the right icon, instead they show the icon like if the path to the desired icon is wrong, and not matter how much you use the repair function on the installer it remains the same.
The plug-in for the internet browser doesn't works neither, you only get the "Plug-in error. The plug-in did not initialise properly" error message.
And what's with the Question mark on every single trailer on this site? it seems they have problems with the mov files on the server or something, like if they aren't complete, kinda odd considering that the HD trailers did open without problem but those ones open a player window since they are too big for a plug-in browser window.
Apple has a lot of work to do for the next version of Quicktime since this one came with a big load of errors, I had to return to the version 7.1 while all this problems get fixed.

from day one i haven't had a problem with installation nor with playback. originally the surround sound didn't work, that was fixed...now however with the recent version the h.264 encoding has downgraded.
the only thing i did different on installation was getting the standalone and not the itunes addition. i didn't uninstall the old one nor did i dig through the registry and mess with the keys. all i did was install and i presume it removed the older installation which is fine because obviously it worked.
why you all are having problems i have no idea. i just want my h.264 encoding quality restored back to the way it was.

Remove QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard

Hello!
I am experience some problems with QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard in cooperation with Perian and DownloadHelper (a FireFox add-on).
Every time or better said sometimes I use DownloadHelper with Firefox under Snow Leopard on my MBP a process called "QtKitServer" crashes and I get a black screen.
And yes, I installed QuickTime 7 on this machine. I also tested this on my iMac (QT X only!) there this doesn't happen.
This must be a bug in OS X. But I need this tool on MBP without getting any black screens just because of QtKitServer crashes.
So, I found a solution: I want to get rid of QuickTime 7.
But how can I remove QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard?
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot!

Hello folks!
I found a work around. A few minutes ago I deactivated the icon preview for "Desktop". And until now everything seems to work.
It seems to be that in this moment when DownloadHelper and Firefox are writing a file on the desktop who isn't downloaded completly QuickLook wants to access that file, can't understand it, and crashes.
So it must be a Mac OS X / QuickTime bug.

Check that there isn't a different Trash folder to the one with the proper Trash symbol on it.

Ian

There are few things you need to make sure before you remove the federation, like permissions, TXT records etc.

Problem removing Zombie GS

Hey all. Having a problem removing Zombie Gunship from my Game Center. Basically, I want to delete my current progress and start over, thanks to my nephew messing up my config.
So, I've deleted Zombie GS and it prompts me to remove the data and that my progess will be removed from the leader boards. So I do all that, restart it, blah blah blah. After I've reinstalled the app, my old config/progress/money is still there.
I've emailed the game company and of course no response. So what am I missing or doing wrong? Or is this a situation where I can never start over?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I've got the same problem. I am revisiting the game and I want to start again from scratch but it seems Game Center has other plans for me. Dammit Apple gestapo!

I tried to commit the package or the project, but it's the same thing.
Files additions and modifications work correctly.
