Quicktime 7.1.2 wont go away

HI.
I too have fallen into the QT 7 trap - kicking myself now - as Ive been reading around for 2 days wading through the massive number of people who have also been snagged by this horrible update -with still no solution to my problem except an entire OS install- which i would rather not do until im certian it is the only way to fix my problem- which is:
- Did a big software update including 10.3.9, itunes 6.0.5 and QT 7.1.2. there was a few other bits and pieces like security updates aswell but these 3 i thiink are the main players...
- Since doing this neither my beloved Itunes or QT will even boot up.
- ive tried the various re-installers (7.0.1 and 7.0.4) from Apple, none of which worked and i didnt expect them too either since there are none for 7.1.2 yet(?) - so ive done the typical delete thing including the receipts and .pkg files - following this, even with a manual 6.5.2 or older installer it still recognizes that "a newer" QT7 is installed so wont let me install over it.
- ive even tried it from a different boot disc, differnt admin login, re-installed an older FCP to see if it would overwrite QT...i feel ive tried everything ive read but nothing works for me.
I think its ridiculous to have to reinstall OSX because of something Apple has released which is clearly in alot of cases an absolute piece of Sh*t, so if anyone knows how i can get rid of QT 7.1.2 and go back to 6.4 or 6.5 PLEASE tell me and you'll be my best friend for life!!
*a loyal but frustrated mac user*

I used Cocktail to run some maintenance and its made
everything work.
Is that a shareware program or do I need to purchase it?
i just ticked everything- it cleaned
all the caches and did a proper permissions repair
(apparantly the OSX one isnt perfect !?) and after
the re-boot QT 7.1.2 works perfectly.
I'll give anything a try at this point...
Hope this helps......Good luck
Thanks for the feedback!

My ipod touch 4g is turning up or down by itself, and the speaker icon wont go away

Okay this first started yesterdy morning, when my ipod touch4g was acting funny it wouldnt turn off, so i thought if i plugged it in it would fix itself, so i thought restoring would help it,made it worse it started turning off and on apple logo came on a few times, now i got it where i can turn it off and on okay but now i cant seem to controle the volume, and the speaker icon is showing and wont go away, and when i try turning it down when i play a song or a video, it will turn back up by itself, or it will turn down by itself,
what would be the best way to fix this without taking it in? the nearest apple store is dallas and i dont wanna spend all the money in gas to go up there, and then see what arm and leg i gotta cut off to get them to fix it.
should i restore and resync it one more time or should i start saving for a new ipod along with the new computer im needing?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod shows my charger and itunes, so i download itunes. But then itunes says i musst enter my passcode on my i pod but the charger and itunes symbols wont go away long enough for me to enter my passcode. what should i do?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Keyboard wont go away.......

im at the appstore and the keyboard is there and wont go away and i cant go to home screen on the appstore cuz of the keyboard still there and i dont know how to make it go away, any ideas?

Press the home button to go back to the home screen. Then double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and hold the AppStore icon. Then close the app by pressing on the top left corner of the app. Now try to reopen the app. See if that helps.
If not restart the iPhone.
If that doesn't work reset the iPhone by pressing both the home and sleep button till the iPhone shuts off. Ignore the slide to shut off prompt. The restart the iPhone.

Advertizment wont go away

The January upgrade ad wont go away for my iPod touch. Ive tried the "No Thanks" "Purchase" and "Remind me Later"
All cause this error: The iTunes store could not process your request, please try again later.
I am always connected to internet, and Ive tried behind a router and without one. My firewall is set to allow iTunes communications.
What is goin on?! its really annoying

Have you tried this?:
-- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
If a "regular toggling" doesn't seem to do anything, try this:
1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
2 - Now begin to rapidly toggle the "Hold" switch back and forth while your iPod is connected.
3 - After you've done that for a little bit, eject the iPod if needed, then disconnect it from your computer.

Ebilling error wont go away

For some reason the register for ebilling wont go away, I am already registered for it and its coming up with the following error: Sorry we can't find any My BT accounts with that username that need to be activated
I've been having so many problems and its all getting too much now.
I've sent an email in detailing everything, I just hope someone can fix this as someone else using my email address etc to get service is not right, true?
Anyway if you can let me know what I can do re the error. Thanks

When I sign in to BT.com it comes up telling me to activate ebilling... I've been on ebilling for months & months, when I click on "activate" it comes up with the following error and wont let me get rid of the activation screen...
So I cant see Bills/Paymens, Broadband usage, nothing at all. I just keeps saying to activate ebilling..
BT are confused as well as the email address I am entering is my registered email address, its showing me logged in to my account but I cant see beyond the error screen telling me to activate ebilling.
I'm waiting on it being looked into by technicians.
