Quick Time will not Download

I can not get QuickTime to install on my computer. When I try to download it I get "Cannot copy file: Cannot read from the source file or disk" I think I may have downloaded a program in the past that won't allow quick time to be installed. I forgot what that program was. Does any one have an idea of any quicktime unfriendly programs out there?

Okay. The initial install may have broken in some exotic way. so let's try cleaning it out thoroughly and trying another download.
First, delete that existing installer and then download and save a fresh one:
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
Now try another install using the fresh installer.
Does that one go through properly? If so, does your QuickTime launch this time?

  • HT3523 I have done all my updates & my quick time will not play this new project, what is the problem?

    My computer is updated but my quick time will not play a mov. file that i exported from final cut on a different Mac , what is the problem?

    Final Cut adds some codecs that are not part of normal OS X.  If your movie uses one of these codecs it won't play on a system that does not have Final Cut.
    Adding these codecs may help:

  • Quick time will not open

    I purchased Quick time Pro in July, used it successfully to view and edit .mov files. Now all of a sudden it won't open, the error message reads: Your copy of Quick time 7.02a63 & quick time player 7.0.2a63has expired. Go to apple.com......to download and install a new version.
    Tried to install an upgrade from the apple site last night and now Camedia wont open either. Any suggestions?

    QuickTime 7 will not install on a PC using the ME OS.
    It requires Windows 2000 or XP. If you're really using ME, as suggested in your profile, you'll need to upgrade your OS first.
    I don't know what to tell you. I don't think the Public Preview of QuickTime 7 would install on an ME OS so you must be using something different.
    The "Camedia" software is used by the Picture Viewer software of QuickTime. Maybe setting the association for jpeg's (or whatever your camera produces) to another application may help you sort this issue out.

  • Quick time will not operate in firefox. Can this be fixed?

    trying to play audio files in firefox with quick time. They will not work, nor do the quicktime boxes show up.

    Please make sure your QuickTime player is correctly installed and Firefox is ''not'' running in Safe Mode.
    Then go to about:plugins and check for "QuickTime Plug-in". If you don't see that plugin, it means your QuickTime setup is broken or missing.
    In this case we recommend you to uninstall QuickTime, download again latest Quicktime package from Apple website and try to install it again.
    If the problem doesn't solve with that, you could check QuickTime Alternative, a free alternative to QuickTime which may solve your problem.
    If nothing of above solved your problem, we need further information about the problem (whether a blank / black frame appears or not where QuickTime should load, a error message displays, Firefox doesn't detect QuickTime plugin...).

  • Latest version of itunes / quick time will not start on my computer

    Folks,
    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes recently. However whenever I try to run Itunes nothing happens. I tried running Quick Time and get a warning that "a buffer overun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state". I have searched the Aplle site but have not found any soluitions to my problem. I am beggining to have regrets on forking out 259 quid on a product from a manufacturer who seems to offer poor after sales service support
    Can one of you gurus out there be able to assist me? Cheers.
    RVT

    Go to your applications folder and start iTunes from there.  If that works you need to drag the application to the Dock.

  • I have a Mac Os x version 10.5.8, and my current quick time will not play some video footage; which version of quick time should I have or what else would help?

    When I try to run certain video, the video stops while the sound continues.  What is wrong.  What version of Quick time should I be using?

    Or is a file that is not supported by QT.

  • Quick Time will not run on Windows XP PC

    When I try starting Quick Time nothing happens. I have tried opening Quick Time information, and after a short time I get the error message "Error when opening Shell32.dll, control_RunDLL C:\Programs\Quick Time\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl"
    I have tried uninstalling Quick Time but always got an error, until I removed all files on C:\Programs\Quick Time and the Quick Time files on the System32 folder, like it was suggested on this Forum.
    I then re-installed Quick Time, but I am still getting the same error, and Quick Time wont run.
    Are there any other files I should have deleted before reinstalling Quick Time?
    Kind regards
    Willi Sletten

    When trying to uninstall from Start/Quick Time/Uninstall Quick Time the uninstall would start propperly but then end up in a dialogue box saying that a serious problem had stopped the uninstall.
    When uninstalling from the control panel, I dont think there was an error message, but Quick Time simply wouldnt disappear.

  • Quick Time will not play HD movies from itunes

    When i'm on the road with my computer I like to be able to play my HD movies without having to open Itunes. So i use Quick Time. But with the HD movies I buy from Itunes this does not work.

The bar on the bottom displaying the time for the movie is going, but there is no video or audio.

  • ITunes and Quick Time will not load after update

    I have updated my ITunes to 7.5 and now I get an error message,sends report to microsoft program had to close... and when I try to open QT I get an Buffer Overrun error. I have tried everything that is suggested at these web pages but no success. I have uninstalled, downloaded, numerous times. My Itunes worked fine before the upgrade, now that I have a new 3rd generation Nano its almost useless. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the help

    Did you ever get this problem resolved? I've been having the same problem now for over 2 weeks, and it doesn't matter what I do, including a system restore, it still won't launch. If I dock my iPod, it freezes and doesn't sync, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice, and it still won't work.
    I got an error message telling that some detection program was preventing it from opening, but when I tried to adjust the program's settings to turn it off for iTunes, it tells me it's required for iTunes.
    This is so frustrating!

  • TS3772 Quick time will not install on my PC. I keep getting a win.32 dll error message...any thoughts?

    Well, alrighty then, I'll ask my IT guy Monday...

    Many thanks.
    That's suggesting that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?
