Quicktime 7.6 update caused problem Suggestions needed

Hi,
Last evening my computer did its autocheck for updates and found a quicktime update. Once complete my system (Powerbook G4 on OS 10.4.11) started flipping to the finder every 90 seconds. When it does this only the file folders that were open at the time of the update stay open. Any other open folders close. Other programs stay running, although since the computer flips to finder, I need to go back to whatever program I was using (you can imagine how much fun this is).
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this?
Thanks,
Bchem

This problem is same as reported here and hasn't been solved:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1370493&tstart=1397
I have seen this problem appearing on Windows 2000, XP SP2 and XP SP3 with all QuickTime 7 versions (can't tell about iTunes since I don't use it), it didn't bother me because I have no use for QT/MOV myself.
but.
I have just installed your latest QT Player 7.60.92 and it craps out with the same error whenever I want to open .mov files.
And I have downloaded few trailers ranging from small resolution up to highest "HD" resolution from your own Apple website to make sure it is not some encoding compatibility issue.
I know it is a bug in QT Player itself, so don't tell me please that "my QT got fragmented" or such BS (like the replies suggested in the other thread) or ask about any QT alternative corrupting "official" QT Player since I have no such thing. I am trying to make it work on my mother's computer with freshly installed WinXP (prior updated up to latest patches), machine has standard 32bit intel single core CPU (2.8GHz, 2GB of RDRAM).
I am really sorry I bought her camera that take those stupid .mov QT videos.
Apple folks, what's the catch?
With every crash it creates in user temp directory files like:
QuickTimePlayer (2009-03-15 16.06.49).dmp
+ folder like WERf743.dir00 with files inside:
appcompat.txt
manifest.txt
QuickTimePlayer.exe.hdmp
QuickTimePlayer.exe.mdmp

Well, too big to post here (~190kB of text) and anyways it just lists files/versions from what I've seen, so its probably irrevelant

Yes, same as in the other thread from year ago, the QT/.mov files play fine in the browsers (I have just check on IE7, Firefox, K-Meleon).
Message was edited by: -888-

Look, I had it running _few times_ too until it crapped out and gives the error since (on my own other computers - which I don't care since I have no use for any QT/.mov myself, but I repeat from post 1: I need it working on my Mother's comp).
And talking about 'bad drivers' - yes, I know that the drivers are sometimes at fault and bad drivers can make entire windoze pc unstable or crash; but how can you suggest this as a cause in this case when I'm telling you that the same error appears on completely different machines? And wouldn't this error appear from begining, from very first use of QT Player if it were bad drivers? Sure it would if it was faulty driver, but since it didn't that's not the case obviously.
Another pointer that it is NOT drivers related problem is that all other audio-video programs work fine, without errors and problem-free on the same machines, including playback of some of the .mov files with Media Player Classic or VLC - while they crap out with QT Player. If it was any of the drivers for audio or video, directx acceleration, etc - the faulty driver(s) should and would affect other programs as well. Yet all of them work fine and as I said - some even play QT files too (the ones capable of).
/edit:
Just to test it I "caved in" and I have installed entire iTunes 8.0 garbage (as suggested by foobula earlier) since I couldn't get just QTPlayer part of it to install separately, and what do you know:
LO & BEHOLD! same .mov files play fine with QT7, no errors, no problem! (I have opened/closed same .mov files many times).
Then I uninstalled iTunes and all of its junk,
removed any traces of it (because it left out - in a Microsft style - plenty of garbage in registry, user appdata folder etc),
rebooted,
installed the "standalone" QT Player 7.60
and hello Apple my darling! - same error is back after just 2 playbacks of very same .mov files!
(I used Apple's own .mov trailers for testing just to make sure I have "right" quicktime files:
http://movies.apple.com/movies/weinstein/inglouriousbasterds/inglouriousbasterds -tlr2_1080p.mov
and
http://movies.apple.com/movies/weinstein/inglouriousbasterds/inglouriousbasterds -tlr2_480p.mov
- and I repeat: both played once each fine (haven't play till the end though, but I'm sure that doesn't matter since the problem appears from the start)
What better proof you need that the problem is only with QT Player in a "standalone edition" (or whatever Apple calls it) and not with any drivers etc?
As previously, both play fine when links opened in a browsers (so the QuickTime whatever-components responsible for audio and video rendering WORK FINE and its not any "bad drivers" problems, it is just QT Player application's problem)
Again: (I hate to repeat myself)
*I don't want any itunes or other junk,*
*I just want .mov files to open with quicktime player - no more or less.*

Quicktime player has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Hi, I'm having real problems running QT on my pc. I've tried several combinations eg- 7.02 with Itunes, 7.02 without itunes plus also the last 6.? version.
Each time,the programme is fine until it reboots. Then it is unable to open either programme- bringing up 'Quicktime player has encountered a problem and needs to close' screen.
I'm guessing its quite a common problem but I don't have enough time to trail through all the posts.
Please can someone offer me some advice, Its driving me crazy!
Thanks

Can someone please help me with this??
I can't reinstall quicktime or uninstall
it says i am missing quicktime/installer.msi and then it closes

Pages update causes problems?

Since April's update I have had problems with Pages. Templates keep opening with the 'cannot find font' message even though the font is activated. Since I use Font Explorer to manage fonts I tried moving the fonts into the system folder/font folder. Pages still could not find them. After deleting Pages and Keynote and reinstalling them from my CD all is happy again.
My impression is that the update caused the problems. Anybody else experiencing this?
Kurt

Hullo Kurt:
Glad you got it sorted. Didn't think it would help you much without further insight - but I had no trouble with the update either. One of those things you had to persevere with on the system you know to fix.
I recall that when I first installed OsX, there was a font collection called "Classic." It was not of fonts the designers call "classic", so I assume it was carried over from Os9, even though I hadn't installed that.
You can collate whatever collections you want from Pages, as you know: just so long as they go into the User or System Library fonts. I don't know how it is with Font Explorer, but with Font Book I find the safest way of resolving duplicates so they don't keep reappearing is to "resolve duplicates" first for any black-dotted fonts, then scan for the greyed out versions where they appear. These can be safely "removed" via Font Book.
This way Pages can choose which copy of a font it doesn't need.
BTW I've just updated to OsX 10.4.7. Can't put it on my profile yet. But it reproduces type throughout the system, and especially in Pages, even more snappily than before, and is said to improve Font Book's handling - as well as some PDF problems.
Be interesting to see whether those are the ones that members have had trouble with. MacFixit suggests that this system update can cause problems with various duplicate files, but I started with a clean computer, left it alone for the update, and did a Safe Boot to see what that cleaned out before I bothered with all that, and then I found no need for it. Routine maintenance did turn up quite a few permissions to be repaired though.
OTOH, if the system details on your profile are right, you might do better to look for a combo update on Mac Downloads to be sure you get it all stitched.
Cheers.
Mac OsX 10.4.7, never mind what it says under here.

IOS 8.0.2 update causing problems with wifi connectivity..please help

latest update having problems ...please help..!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick snapshot of my chain of events. I’m currently on my fourth iPhone 6 Plus 64GB here in London, UK. Every time I have spoken to AppleCare and told them that I have gone through all the Wi-Fi troubleshooting methods possible they have asked me to get a brand new retail replacement as I’m within my 14 day return period. I’ve been experiencing the following issues:
Wi-Fi disconnects and switches to 4G (Restart required for temp fix)
Wi-Fi is still active but there is no traffic or activity– often when in sleep mode for long periods of time. (Toggle Wi-Fi on/off for temp fix)
Wi-Fi disconnects and cannot find any networks (restart required for temp fix)
This has been occurring on both iOS 8 and 8.0.2
The issues are the same on both my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks
This is affecting my ip6+ and 5s (5s used to work perfect on ios7 on same networks) – My MBP-R and all other devices run perfectly on my network.
I spoke to AppleCare again yesterday and asked for their advice as its now my fourth iPhone in just under a month. This time they said that apple were fully aware of the Wi-Fi problem and that new repair tickets were not being raised for their engineers as they are already working hard to get this resolved. They also said they could see all the issues raised on the apple discussions boards which they usually don’t admit too! I asked what to do next and the advisor apologised and said this is clearly a software glitch and will be resolved in the next update. I asked for a timescale but unfortunately none was given.
As stated above I have tried all the troubleshooting methods discussed on forums and on tech websites but the only thing that gives me a stable connection without any disconnects (especially on my 6 plus) is turning cellular/mobile data off when I know I’m going to be on Wi-Fi for a sustained period of time (e.g. at home or work). I appreciate this is annoying but it’s the best temp fix until an update comes out.
Hope it helps everyone who is having issues with their devices that have cellular functionality.
Any comments welcome

Firmware update caused problems with HBD-N790W

Latest firmware update caused my DVD Blu Ray Home Theater to lose the ability to find internet video content. The unit shows that the 12/19 update was successful. I can access the internet and get web browser content--so there isn't anything wrong with my wireless web connection. My unit shows the connection to the internet is working. I made a YouTube video about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nqYNNVPcBA&list=UUNQaJbjyKQwFlZXY6832mIA The set-up feature does not work and I lost my video channels (Netflix, Amazon). I don't really understand why my connection to the internet works, my wireless works...everything works except getting updated media channels. I have tried plugging and unplugging cable, modem, wireless, unit, for ten minutes many times. I reconnect the unit to the web...get buttons that say that internet content can be updated...press the button...then the Sony logo and it stops there.

Hi, i work for a Service center for walmart and bestbuy and i have been getting this model in for service for awile now, after a firmware update the systems have reported to work good till there turned off the first time and then they dont book up all the way, you will get a Sony logo at top left screen and the Blue Bluray Logo in the center of the tv screen and thats it, no menu functions the controls on the player it self flash on and off slowly you can turn the system on and off with the remote but thats it, this looks like a failed firmware update but there seems to be no way to reflash these even with the firmware you can get from the sony site you have to burn a CDR disk but becuse there is no menu you cant get that far, i have 19 of these units stacked up 5 have been replaced with other brands to make customers happy, the rest on still in wait for a fix, its looking like replacement of main board will be the next step in this night mare. if sony tech wants to shine some lite on this now i would be very gratefull. Thanks Chris R.

4.7.2.5 Camera update causing problems on 1020

Anyone else experiencing issues with the latest Nokia Camera update? Here's what I'm running into:
-OneDrive integration isn't functioning correctly. I have my 1020 set to auto-upload at best quality. If I take a picture while connected to my WiFi network, I can't reframe pictures. It usually crashes the app, or the reframe doesn't save. I think it's because OneDrive locks the file down, but this wasn't an issue before the update.
-More OneDrive problems: Since the update, OneDrive is uploading the 34/38MP version of the file, NOT the 5MP copy. Before the update, the 5MP files went to OneDrive and the 34MP files stayed on the phone.
I think there's some inconsistent behavior with Camera and the Photos app. You can't go from the Camera to the Gallery correctly anymore, and I'm not sure if this is part of the problem?
I'm asking for help, but I don't think anything can be done until the app is updated again. Is there a way to revert to the previous version of Nokia Camera?
Running 8.1 preview, BTW.

No, I had 8.1 on the phone prior to that, it wasn't until the 4.7.2.5 Camera update that problems arose. They changed the way you "reframe" the photos with that update, and it seems to really mess with OneDrive syncing. Pictures I've reframed get auto-uploaded in the original (not reframed) format. Both picture files appear on the phone, but the copy that ends up on OneDrive is a 9-10MB file (versus the usual 2-3MB). Oddly enough, the uploaded pictures don't end in "_highres" despite being the 34MP version.
It is very odd behavior.

Adobe PS Element 2 auto-update 2nite causing problems - suggestions please

I understand that this is really an issue I should post on the Adobe forum [on their web-page] since it is their product that is causing this problem, and I will as a last resort if need be.
In a nutshell, I'll be brief with my problem.
-I'm using PS Elements version 2.0.2 (which I did purchase)
-Program worked super until tonight
-tonight when I opened it [to play around with a photo], it attempted to, what I think, attempted to auto-update itself via the internet
- I'm on DSL but gave it plenty of time to auto-update 2 files
- visually, screen gave me a bar indicating time remaining for update to finish, however, even when bar indicator is completely full the auto-update won't proceed further [just hangs there with a full bar]
- forced quit. rebooted. opened again. Elements again goes through same routine and sticks at a full indicator bar and I can't proceed.
Brief technical info. on what PS Elements tells me it is installing
- AWEX Files.txt to Mac HD: Library: Application Support: Adobe: Web:
Conclusion: I could care less if it updates itself, I just want it to work again. If I need to delete files in folders I'll do it - whatever it takes, please help.

Geez, I thought Adobe finally fixed that bug. You might try unplugging your computer from the Internet and then try launching Elements. Without a connection it ought to just shrug its virtual shoulders and then launch without the stupid, and to you completely pointless, web crud update. There is not now, nor will there ever be again, any updates to Elements 2 of any interest to the actual user. If does indeed launch without the Internet connection, you can then go to Elements->Prefences and at the bottom of menu select Adobe Online... and then set the "Check for updates" to Never. Click OK and your problem should be solved.

Devtools update causes problems with sudo when used in a script?

I'm a little confused by this one, but I'm not convinced that it's a bug.. yet.
Long story short, I compile packages using the ABS via a script/wrapper which uses devtools. The script is available here: https://github.com/WorMzy/compilepackage
Now, this script is far from perfect, but has worked perfectly well (in various states of completeness) for the past year or so. However, with the recent update of devtools (20120720-1 => 20121013-1), my script fails to execute correctly. After entering the password when prompted (by sudo, at this line: https://github.com/WorMzy/compilepackag … tions#L107), the script terminates unexpectedly.
Downgrading devtools "fixes" this problem, but I'm not sure if this is a bug in devtools, sudo, zsh, my script, or something else.

Update: It appears that the cause is systemd's nspawn. Disabling it in mkarchroot (have_nspawn=0) resolves the problem.
However, I don't understand why it's causing this behaviour. User input works fine for the sudo password prompt, but then fails for the pacman user prompt? Do they use different input buffers or something? Does that question even make sense?
Anyway, I'll open a bug report on flyspray and upstream about this when I get the chance.

Latest update causing problems with my itunes update on my computer,

Have had to delete itunes on my computer to try to get this update to upload. I cannot even access an earlier version. I have tried everything from uninstalling to cleaning my hard drive and still it will not install.

ITunes update 11.1.4 would not install and I received the following error message.
"The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
A temporary solution was to restore my system to a date before the 11.1.4 update was applied.
This worked and I was again able to use iTunes except that synchronisation between iTunes, my iphone and ipad was frustrated. I received an message to the effect that “you need to turn on synchronisation in isync preferences before you can sync contacts and calendars.”
Further research on these boards revealed that this problem too was apparently caused by the Apple update could only be resolved by installing the latest version of iTunes i.e. 11.1.4
Thus a clean install of iTunes 11.1.4 was obviously necessary for complete functionality.
Thus I followed the procedures detailed by Turingtest2 here
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6562
I carefully deleted all of the Apple related programs and folders I could find as suggested.
I had problems deleting Apple Mobile Device Support. I eventually managed it though by variously
using CONT-ALT-DEL to enter Task Manager and then Processes and then halted(ended) any Apple process I was able to find. It eventually deleted but not without a struggle!
I then performed a clean installation as described ensuring I right clicked on the download and selected Run as Administrator.
Itunes 11.1.4 was then installed with no loss of previously downloaded material – books music etc.
Not impressed with this Apple update at all…… a seemingly very cavalier approach to customer care.

How to keep an earlier version of AW in case update causes problems?

I have several ideas on how to make this update less of a problem just in case I can't access older docs. Is any of these solutions workable?
Is it possible to burn a useable CD of my current AW 6 folder in case the update to 6.2.9 doesn't work - or doesn't open older documents that my current version does open?
Could I then run AW directly from this CD to access the older docs if they can't be opened from the update? (even though a newer version -6.2.9 - of AW would be installed in X?)
OR can I reinstall AW 6 (into my OS 9 startup disk) from my original AW install disk to access the older versions?
OR yet another idea, could I duplicate my current AW 6 folder and leave one AW 6 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and move another to Applications folder in X. Then, I could do the update app in the X folder and test if the old documents still open. Then I can just delete the duplicated folder which I left in OS 9. OR will having 2 AW 6 folders cause confusion when I do the update? I assume the single user legal issue is OK with 2 AW folders on my computer for a few hours.
Thanks for your input,
Mrs H

SUCCESS! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! (please keep reading there is a question at the end)
AW 6.2.9 is now on my G4.
Because of the way the Apple consultant at the Apple store set up our HDs when he installed Tiger for us, we had 2 copies already of AW 6.1. (We work from 3 external LaCie HDs)
I only updated the 6.1 that lives in Tiger. I left the other as is at 6.1 since I know it will open the older docs that I have and need there in OS 9. And it had a translator bundled in (by Dataviz if I recall) for other formats - I'm not sure if this nice feature still exists in the update.
The installer said it would install 6.2.8 (??) in OS 9 and 6.2.9 in OS X. But because I chose the AW 6 folder that lives in the X HD for the install, it only could access that and left the other alone.
MY NEW QUESTION:
The font list is quite short. I really don't use a lot of fonts, but do favour Verdana which is not in the list. Any clues on this?
Thank you all again so much for your help with this problem,
Mrs H

10.6.5 update causing problems/issues

Updated with the 'software update' app to 10.6.5 yesterday and immediately started having random instant shutdowns (as if all power was lost). Trying to restart would sometimes not even get thru the startup sound before it shut off again. Sometimes it would manage to boot and then shutdown. It's up and running now but the fans are running at full speed. This problem is also random and apparently unprovoked. Well done again Apple for screwing my machine - now I dare not trust it as a control machine for my work.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried the usual PRAM reset, permission repair, disk check etc.

Have been experiencing intermittent keyboard, trackpad and usb mouse function issues after installing the latest system and itunes updates, which was yesterday or day before.
(Lost even some work because the only way to get things moving was to restart.)
Tried solution (verify and repair disc permissions) that coconutmunk recommends under similar topic from 2007:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1190210
That solution fixed worst part of the problem: getting all 3 parts irresponsive.
It seems as problem is still not entirely solved as computer has once tried to lock all 3 again, however before I had chance to get concerned it locked up all 3 again by itself.
Yet, usb mouse keeps on getting disconnected every now and then randomly, even after 2 runs with disc permission solution.
By the way, I don't think reinstallation of entire system would be reasonable step, neither would it solve anything as you would still reinstall that very same update.
Conclusion from 2007topics, where people had issues with keyboards and/or mouse devices, was that it was Leopard system having those problems, nothing like that was reported in about Tiger system, as it seems.
Now, those problems were fixed back then with an update, but seems this latest update has brought back old issues!
Frankly, I really do not have time with computer issues, on top of Maya being characteristically moody already every now and then, as I have to be done with a pretty big project only within few days!
Please PLEASE, Apple crew, fix this issue asap!
I really need those things working properly quick!
Thanks in advance!

10.8.3.update caused problem

When I updated my almost brand new iMac to 10.8.3, this problem started immediately after: when i boot the computer, it won't even let me login due to the fact that something in the computer is entering data into my login field nonsop and causing the error sound over and over again like a machine gun sound. My only option is to click on the reboot icon on the startup screen. Sometimes even after I successfully log in, this action continues so that it is impossble to load any applications. The computer worked pefectly before the update.

Hopefully some others will spot this thread and have ideas on possible solutions.
A couple of other things you could try, if you haven't already, are a Safe Boot:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
And an SMC and PRAM reset:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603
It would be a good idea to make a full backup of all your data in case it turns out you need to do an erase and re-install of the OS and then restore your data. Either a Time Machine backup or, possibly the better option, a bootable clone using either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!.
If the Mac is less than three months old or you have extended AppleCare it'd be worth giving Apple a call to see if one of their advisors can help, or if the computer has a fault, start the process of repair/replacement.
