Problems with QT file I can't delete -so can't upgrade itunes?

I am running Windows XP and have been trying to upgrade my i-tunes for over a month. The installation fails when I get this message: "Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeVR.qtx. Verify that you have access to that directory." I beleive error is caused by fragment of previous version of QuickTIme that I can't delete. I earlier uninstalled QT, but folder is still in Program listing, containing 1 file which is empty. Yet, I can't delete the file because computer tells me that the file directory is not empty.
I have run diskclean, cclean, tried deleting manually all QT files after running search of c drive, & searched forums for solutions. Using rmdir doesn't work because it either doesn't see QT file or views it as corrupted. I am the only user on this machine - there is not an "administrator" who is controlling the machine.
Any and all ideas would be appreciated!

that's certainly sounding like a damaged file.
try running a chkdsk over the C drive:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
does that find/repair any damage? if so, will the file allow you to delete it afterwards?

  • DNS problems with Snow Leopard. Can't upgrade to Mountain Lion either.

    My Macbook Pro has been working quite well since I got it just over a year ago, until last week when I shut it down to go stay at my parents house. I turned it on when I got there and it automatically connected to the network because i go there often, however when I tried to open up a browser it would not work. I opened up several of the other browsers that I have but all of them kept saying they couldn’t connect to the server. I thought perhaps my dad had changed the router settings or something since last time I'd been there since the internet was working perfectly at my house only two hours previous. He said he hadn't changed anything and he was right, the internet worked perfectly through my sisters PC and through his ipad and my iphone. I later took it round to a friend’s house where it remembered his network too but still would not open addresses in the browser and when I finally got home to my house, I found I had the same problem. With every network I connected to I could update my apps and software, use my torrent client, ping certain IP's and connect with various other things that require internet connection, but the browser still never worked. After some research I came to the conclusion that it was most likely a DNS issue, I found this odd as I had not changed any sort of settings at all recently, except for turning the firewall on, which I turned off be3fore trying to troubleshoot. I  have tried virtually everything that has been suggested on the internet like Flushing DNS cache, resetting PRAM, bringing my network to the top, turning airport on and off, connecting through ethernet, renewing DHCP lease, using google IP as DNS, checking for set proxies, repairing disk permissions, resetting router, checking router settings, the list goes on and on. The last thing I tried was to copy the com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist file then delete the old one and paste the new one back in, since then my Mac cannot connect to the internet in any of the previous ways.
    After pulling my hair out for days, I thought the only option left was to upgrade to Mountain Lion, which I was planning on doing anyway. After downloading it though, I came to the option to select the disk I want to install to only to see my primary and only disk open my Mac coloured faintly and telling me that "This disk cannot be used to start up the computer". After more research I found that there were a few issues, none of which I have. I’ve never used time machine so there is no issue with any set partition for it, I have no other partitions on it at all either so I cannot use the resizing trick that seems to help most people. I would normally just backup all my data at this point and do a fresh install, but haven't got the funds to purchase a another TB at this point and I have over 650GB worth of valuable data on the Mac. Could someone pleeeease help me!?!?!

    You cannot go to Mountain Lion, as stedman1 states.
    But you can upgrade to Lion, possibly.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2404

  • [SkyDrive] Files can't be uploaded because there's a problem with a file or folder.

    On Windows 8.1 RTM, the SkyDrive metro client shows a message that "Files can't be uploaded because there's a problem with a file or folder." and lists one particular file. When I installed the PC, I have switched then Access all files offline
    option to On.
    The file resides in a directory I have deleted from the disk. When attempting to get rid of this "problem" (as there are no hints nor UI available) I have manually checked that the directory does not exists on the disk any more, as well as deleting
    the directory from cloud storage using a web browser. However, the message is still there.
    Restarting the computer several times nor keeping it idle for a significant amount of time did not help.
    How to get rid of that "problem" / how to fix it?

    Hi
    Let’s try to redirect the skydrive folder and sync again to see what’s going on:
    1. Open regedit and find following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SkyDrive
    2. Change “UserFolder” to another location.
    3. Open the SkyDrive Metro app to confirm your files and new directory.
    Then check the issue again.

  • TS3297 My downloaded song stops suddenly halfway through. I assume there was a problem with the download. Can I download the file again??

    My downloaded song stops suddenly halfway through. I assume there was a problem with the download. Can I download the file again?? Will I have to purchase the song again?

    You need to delete the current copy of the broken track from your library before it will be offered up for download. It may help to close and reopen iTunes.
    If the problem persists and you can't get a good version of the file contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • SFTP MGET of large files fails - connection closed - problem with spool file

    I have a new SFTP job to get files from an FTP Server.  The files are large (80mg, 150mg).  I can get smaller files from the ftp site with no issue, but when attempting the larger files the job completes abnormally after 2 min 1 sec. each time.  I can see the file is created on our local file system with 0 bytes, then when the FTP job fails, the 0 byte file is deleted.
    Is there a limit to how large an ftp file can be in Tidal?  How long an ftp job can run?
    The error in the job audit is Problem with spool file for job XXXX_SFTPGet and an exit code of 127 (whatever that is).
    In the log, the error is that the connection was closed.  I have checked with the ftp host and their logs show that we are disconnecting unexpectedly also.

    I believe there is a limitation on FTP and what you are seeing is a timeout built into the 3rd party application that tidal uses (I feel like it was hardcoded and it would be a big deal to change but this was before Cisco purchased tidal)  there may have been a tagent.ini setting that tweaks that but I can't find any details.
    We wound up purchasing our own FTP software (ipswitch MOVEit Central & DMZ) because we also had the need to host as well as Get/Put to other FTP sites. It now does all our FTP and internal file delivery activity (we use it's api and call from tidal if we need to trigger inside a workflow)

    I think the real problem is that you don't check the return value from read (it's probably less than data.length indicating an incomplete read). Isn't there a readFully somewhere?

I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse.

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • Problem with .sitx files (Safari but not Firefox???)

    Hi All,
    I have a website online (with help from iWeb and BBEdit) but am having a problem I cant figure out (this IS my first website!)
    I am hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can help me with it.
    I basically have a download section. Icons and desktops.
    Now, when I (or anyone else) tries to download- everything seems to be fine in FireFox (even IE!) but not in Safari.
    My desktops are compressed as .zip files. No problems there, everyone can download and open (including Safari users!)
    My icons are compressed as .sitx files. This is where the problems come in. Firefox and IE download them no problem ('save to disk?' etc) However when one attempts to download the icons (.sitx files) with Safari it simply displays pages of gibberish (starting with the word 'Stuffit') which I am presuming is Safari trying to 'display' the contents of the actual stuffit file.
    Why is this? Why wont safari simply download the .sitx files as it does .zip files?
    Does Safari have some sort of inherent problem with .sitx files? Is it some sort of configuration within Safari preferences? or (and probably most likely!) is it something I have done wrong?
    Oh, my website (page in question!) can be found here:

    Hi,
    It sounds like the server the website/file is hosted on is not identifying the type correctly. As you've seen, different browsers will handle this situation differently.
    Have a read of this article:

  • Error: There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied

    I've been trying to copy (and essentially move) the contents of an NTFS-formatted external HDD to my iMac's internal HDD so I can then format the external HDD to Mac OS Extended. However, when I simply try to drag and drop, I get an error during the transfer that states:
    There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied.
    I tried a basic cp command in Terminal to copy all contents of the external HDD to a folder on my iMac's desktop, and found that while there were no errors, there were many individual files missing full chunks of data (ie. original file would be 4GB on my external HDD, but only 350MB on my desktop).
    Any ideas on how I can successfully copy a large amount of data (approx. 170GB) from my external HDD to my internal HDD while avoiding this error, so I can ultimately format my external HDD to Mac OS Extended? ANY help is greatly appreciated.

    That's not a good error to see. It indicates something is very wrong. Pulled out of an old programming header file:
    ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/
    If Apple labelled it "bummers," they had a good reason! Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for you.
    Try running Disk Utility again. Keep repairing over and over until one of two things happens: 1) Disk Utility says no repair was needed, or 2) Disk Utility reports the same error in two sequential repair sessions and is unable to repair it both times.
    If you hit the second case, or if you hit the first but still can't copy files, then you've got two basic options:
    = Buy a third-party disk utility or two and try them. Try TechTool as a first choice.
    = Recover what files you can and write the rest off as gone.
    = Send your drive to a data recovery service and hope they can extract more than you can.
    Of course, none of this is necessary if you have a backup of the contents of that hard drive. (If you don't, this is your learning experience. Once bitten, twice shy, so they say.) Also, regardless of the outcome, once you've got your data or have decided it's gone, you're going to want to wipe that drive completely clean. Reformat the drive with Disk Utility, then when it's done, select the drive in Disk Utility and hit command-i. (Don't select the new volume you just created on that drive, select the drive itself. Mine looks like "232.9 GB Hitachi ..." with the volume name indented underneath.) Look for an item that says S.M.A.R.T. Status, and if it doesn't say Verified, you might as well throw out the drive. Don't trust any more data to it.
    If all appears safe, you can start moving data back onto it. But, as always, make sure you have a backup of everything!

  • Problems with "Author once" workflow, can't transcode HDV to BD and DVD

    Adobe claims that with Encore CS3 you can
    "author once, deliver to three formats" -- Blu-ray, DVD and Flash. I have been doing some research and testing, but have not been able to get it to work.
    It seems as though Encore is not capable of taking HDV 1080i60 footage and transcoding it for both Blu-ray and DVD. The Blu-ray looks great, but the downconverted transcode for DVD is completely unusable.
    Link to screen shot of HDV to DVD transcode. (Note: this is a frame at 100%, so the "comb teeth" really are that big.)
    I have seen some pretty pathetic downconversions from HDV to DV resolution, but this is the most creatively useless one I've come across so far.
    I have been able to use Dynamic Link to get an almost acceptable "author once" workflow from HDV footage. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a way to get Encore or After Effects to render fields for the DVD transcode, so fast-moving graphic elements and text have jerky/strobing motion.
    FYI, I got Dynamic Link working well for non-fast clips by doing the following:
    Make sure that "Separate Fields" was set to "Upper" in "Interpret Footage" for the HDV clip.
    Set the clip's frame blending mode to "Frame Mix" ("Pixel Motion" works, just take longer).
    Enable Frame Blending for the comp.
    (Enable Motion Blur for the comp if any layers are using Motion Blur).
    If only there were a button to enable field rendering for the comp along with Frame Blending and Motion Blur, as both of those options directly affect how the Dynamic Link renders/transcodes in Encore.
    I noticed that without Frame Blending enabled for both the clip and the comp, the motion in the transcode was very jerky, even though the clip had not been time stretched/remapped.
    Does anyone know of some way to get the mythical "author once" workflow to work? Perhaps it's only for progressive workflows and not interlaced? Could this be a Mac-related problem (I have not been able to test on Windows)?
    I know I can downconvert first, then import into Encore, and that does work fine, but that completely negates the wonderful concept of "author once".
    Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

    Ruud,
    Gspot showed there was a problem with the file. What it said was of the 130K frames, most were not needed. I went back to the editor and reconstructed the 130K file. Had problems trying to export to M2v. PPro 2.0 would freeze every time, sometimes in a few minutes, sometimes just short of completing, approx 2 hours(this was a 2 pass vbr setup). I experienced problems just trying to make an AVI file for importing into Encore 2.0. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since I first started this journey(over 300 hours). My first shot at elation occurred when I decided to try an m2v at vbr 1 pass instead of 2 pass. It worked. I say this because of late I have successfully made an Avi file, Imported the timeline and in fact satisfactorily made an m2v file (2 pass). The m2v was also brought into Encore 2.0. Though I have 4 HD's, it seems to me that as I am moving toward a successful product, I'm finding that I've located all my assets on one HD. Is this the way to go? I'd like to thank the alert for using Gspot. And I will, always. I believe that if I had used Gspot earlier I would not have been trying to fix the problem using a bad asset.
    I've been able to make an iso file, though having trouble making a playable disc.

  • Problem with m3u files and Quicktime

    Hello:
    I have made one update with Quicktime software (version 7.6.9 1680.9). The problem is that Quicktime player reproduces mp3 files but when I try to play m3u files the sound is very bad. It sounds like gargling.
    For example: This files play ok:
    http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/Sarabande.mp3
    It plays ok when the previous link is introduced as URL address in Quicktime player, but the corresponding m3u files sounds like gargling
    http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/list0.m3u
    I think there a problem with m3u files and Quicktime.
    Tank you very much and best regards.

    I have discovered that when the URL is playing (with gargling sound) if I open the A/V controls in QT menus and I move the Jog Shuttle or the Speed level then the sound becomes good.
    Yes! Great catch, ttfrank. I can replicate that too.
    Interesting ... if (after getting the sound working properly again) you then pause play of the m3u, and start it again, you get the gargling/dalekish sound quality back again.
    Bug reporting ... there's a couple of ways you can go about doing this. You can use the QuickTime product feedback form:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/quicktime.html
    ... but if you want to track progress on the bug, try instead registering as an Apple Developer (for free):
    http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/
    ... and then you'll be able to submit the bug via the Apple Bug Reporter:
    http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
    In the meantime, there's also a restricted forum available to level 4 and 5 members ("Notable New Technical Issues") where we can report this sort of thing. I'll try to get a post written up on the topic there later today.
