QuickTime Downgrade

Hello,
My system is crashing when running Cleaner 6.5. The Cleaner website says to 'downgrade' back to QuickTime 7.0.1 and supplies a link for that download. But I am running 7.1.2 and the downgrade only takes version 7.0.2 back to 7.0.1
Can anyone help me on how to get Quicktime 7.1.2 back to 7.0.1
Either that or direct me to somewhere that I can get answers for an always crashing Cleaner 6.5?
Thanks!

If you archive your data, reinstall the OS from your OS install disk, then install the combined update to X.4.6, that should get you back, and as a bonus that will take back your QuickTime as well.
The bad thing is, it's an aggravating process, and I think you have to reinstall Xpress Pro as well.
In that Avid thread, someone purported to have found a workaround for the X.4.7 dongle problem, something about reinstalling an older version of a USB driver or something. You could try that. I'd suggest backing your whole system up before you go fooling with it, though.
Next time, if you MUST install a system update in the middle of a project, back up your whole system drive, run the upgrade, then if your system dies, you can restore from the backup
I know. You don't want to hear that right now. 8-)
Let me tell you: I've been there myself. 8-(

ITunes and Quicktime downgrading...

Hi there... I have a G4 and am using OSX 10.3.9. This is my Pro-Tools computer as I have an older version of ProTools that doesn't run on 10.4 or upwards.
So... The story so far. I updated my computer with the more recent versions of iTunes and Quicktime (from iTunes 6.0.3 & Quicktime 6.5), as I was advised by a "friend" to do this. However, it turns out that the new versions don't work with OSX 10.3.9. So I was then advised by the same "friend" to delete (don't ask, as I'm still not sure who's pulling my strings) these recent versions of QuickTime and iTunes from my applications folder and to delete all the preferences associated with them, which I've now done.
We then located the old versions that we were originally using i.e. iTunes 6.0.3 and Quicktime 6.5 and have been trying to reinstall these... But with little success.
So my questions are:
Do I need to do an "Archive and Install" from the original OSX 10.3 disks?
OR do I need to "Archive and Install" using the original OSX 10.1.3 disks?
Also, during an "Archive and Install", are all my files safe i.e. they won't vanish (we have an album's worth of material on there that the record label are expecting us to give them very soon)?
If the above fails...
Is there anyway of simply installing the older versions of iTunes and Quicktime from web links?
Yours hopefully!!!
Karl

Go to - http://www.oldapps.com/downloadiTunesmac.php - to d/l your choice of iTunes.
Go to HD>Library>Receipts - remove the receipt iTunesX.pkg to the trash - you should now be able to install iTunes.
Have a b/u of your critical data before you do any 'archive/install' which I cannot see is necessary. Your friend appears to be steering you in directions that is causing you problems.
Why would you even consider doing a 'archive/install' from the 10.1.3 disk?
I am not sure about QT - however you can remove the QT receipt and see if that helps.

Many applications not working after Quicktime downgrade gone wrong.

I have: MacBook Pro, OS X 10.4.11, Tiger
After the most recent Quicktime update (I think 7.5), AVI files that were moved or added afterwards would play video, but no audio.
I tried to uninstall Quicktime in order to install version 7.2. I deleted the QT files from the Application and Library folders.
When I tried to install QT 7.2, I kept getting a message that the 7.2 installation couldn't be completed because a newer version was already installed.
I downloaded Pacifist and used it to install QT 7.2 and restarted the computer.
When it rebooted the info that is normally in the upper right side of the screen is gone: the time, airport status, sound status, Spotlight icon, etc. And the Spotlight icon flashes randomly, but nothing happens if I try to open it. Quicktime still wasn't installed and now iTunes won't open, it just has a message saying "The application iTunes quit unexpectedly." Same with MS Word, iCal, GarageBand... The only applications that seem to be working are Safari and TextEdit. But Safari closes and displays the same message when trying to play a Youtube video.
I tried installing Quicktime again, without Pacifist, and it said the installation was complete and restarted. However, Quicktime won't open at all now, the icon jumps in the dock but nothing happens.
I also just found a Leopard installation DVD - if I installed it, would it be like starting from scratch with a working system? Would it wipe out all my files?
Any ideas?

To Apple Discussions!
Because QT is intergrated throughout the OS system, you cannot uninstall it completley from the computer. Most Apple application depend on QT in order to function properly.
*The safest way to put things right:*
Do an archive and install of your OS from the OS disc. Stop at the QT upgrade you need and/or want.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 Scroll down to "Archive and Install”
IMPORTANT: Maker sure you select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I?
Good luck

Iphone 4s videos will not play on Quicktime on my PC, the screen is black but there is sound. Any ideas?

I am not too computer literate..............
I took some videos of my daughter and went to view them on my computer (pc) and they will not play. The computer recongnizes them as quicktime files (.MOV) but when they are selected for playback, the screen is black and all that plays is the audio. I downloaded the latest quicktime pro at $30.00 and the problem still exsists. The video was taken on an iPhone 4s with the iOS6 updated software.
What is the problem? What is the fix?
Thanks

Thanks! Yours works. May I Add?

Disable Direct3D acceleration in the player you are using.
If you use VLC media player, Go to preferences, Video, And under output, change from default to "Direct 2D video output"
If you use Quicktime, Downgrade to Quicktime 7.6 or upgrade to quicktime 7.7.3 and Go to
Edit --> Preferences -->Quicktime preferences.
Under that, go to advanced tab, and uncheck "Enable Direct3d acceleration" (3'rd box)

How to downgrade from QT 7.6 to 7.5.5?

hello,
i recently purchased avid media composer 3.5 and the system only recognizes (at least formally) 7.5.5 QT for system requirements. i have been having all sorts of problems with my avid so they asked me to downgrade.
what is the best way to do it? i have looked on forums and they ask they i reinstall the os...is this really necessary?
i tried just deleting the QT from my apps folder and downloading the old version but it still said that it existed and wasnt able to install the old.
any ideas?
thanks!
steven

Reinstalling the OS is the only supported way to downgrade, yes. QuickTime has multiple components in a number of places, so it's not easy to downgrade. Deleting just QuickTime Player will definitely not downgrade QuickTime. But if you really want to try, search the web for something like "quicktime downgrade mac" and you should find several sets of instructions. Here's one:

But doing an "archive and install" reinstallation of Mac OS X is definitely the most reliable route.

Corrupt video playback in Kodi and black screen when emulating.

Hi!
I have a problem most likely related to each other. When I try to play back videos in Kodi the video just gets scrambled, it fast forwards very fast and looks generally corrupted and when I try to start a game in some emulator (for example mupen64plus) the screen just turns black.
Kodi seems to work really well otherwise, it got sounds in the menus and the menus are smooth when navigating. Same with emulators, the GUI (mupen64plus doesn't have one) works well and I can navigate the menus and everything but as soon as I start a game the screen turns black with no sound.
I tried OpenELEC (which is a distribution that has the main purpose of running Kodi) and the video playback works just fine. Sadly it's not very emulator friendly.
The packages I have installed are: "xf86-video-ati" (dependence: "mesa"), "xorg-server" (dependence: "mesa-libgl") and "xorg-xinit".
And the way that I the programs are usually from .xinitrc (example: exec kodi-standalone) and then xinit.
Hardware:
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A78M-ITX+ mITX
APU: AMD A10-7800 (the GPU part is GCN 1.1 aka Sea Islands)
All connected through HDMI
Any help would really be appreciated!

HT2729 Latest version of itunes affecting homesharing?

I have just downloaded the latest version of I-tunes and to my surprise have found that the only thing that will play via homesharing on my I-pad is the latest episode of Castle I purchased after the download. All previous episodes are unavailable. All other episodes of various purchased tv episodes are also unavailable. I can see the files in the shared tv episodes screen on my Ipad, but they will not open. I can stream them using Air Video Server however and they all play perfectly, but it's an inconvenience. Any thoughts?

Latest version of SUNWpcnfs

I am in the process of re-installing Solaris 8 on a SPARC 20 and I noticed the diskette that contains the SUNWpcnfs package is 5 years old (it was distributed as part of PC-NFS, is no longer used). Does anyone know if there is a more up-to-date version of this package and where I can get it from?

Downgrade Mac OS X 10.4 and Quicktime 7?

Hello, due to some 3rd party software, I have a system which needs a downgrade. Mac OS X 10.4.9 -> 10.4.8, Quicktime 7.1.5 (i think) -> 7.1.3.
Is this possible? Any side effects? Due to the sheer amount of other software and documents on the hard drive, I ideally would not like to do a complete re-install.

Hi Phillip Roh;
If you did a backup before the upgrade, then simply restoring will solve your problem. If not, no.

Quicktime 7.4 downgrade to 7.2, then upgrade back, has stuffed QT!

Okay, so I stupidly upgraded to quicktime 7.4 when my mac helpfully told me there was a new update available. I know not to do this on my Avid, but thought that apple quicktime and apple FCP Studio would be compatible... hmmm.
Needed to work with flash and mpegs so found a post on here with instructions on how to downgrade back to 7.2/7.3 (using Pacifist). Did this successfully on my G4 and this now happily lives in the past running QT 7.2 and is able to open and play all my flash videos.
Thought the downgrade on my G5 would also run smoothly, but after downgrading to 7.2 QT no longer opened, DVD Studio Pro said it needed 7.3 to run and FCP wouldn't open. So I downloaded and installed the 7.3 upgrade (figuring I can live with one mac that can see and convert flash quicktimes).
Same again - QT wouldn't open, neither would FCP and now also the System Preferences won't open. Eeeekk!
So I thought, I'd better re-install 7.4 and at least get the mac running properly. Still no joy - no QT, no FCP and no system preferences.
I'm getting desperate and have now wasted almost 2 days on this problem. Why are apple releasing buggy updates? And why do they not have any solutions?
Any help would be ever so greatly appreciated.

To The Apple Discussion Boards!
See if the following helps:
Do an archive and install of your OS from the OS disc. Stop at the QT upgrade you need.

How to downgrade to earlier version of Quicktime?

I've been having trouble with awful stuttering in iMovie 4. In another thread ("video stutter in very simple video project") it was suggested that iMovie4 does not run with QuickTime 7 (although they were bundled in my new OSX) and to downgrade to QuickTime 6. Having tried all other recommendations to no avail, I want to try the downgrade. Does anyone know how to do this? Or have any other information on this problem?

t was suggested that iMovie4 does not run with QuickTime 7 (although they were bundled in my new OSX) ...G3, 400 MHz, 576mb Ram, 80GB HD Mac OS X (10.3.9)
afaik, it is recommended to use
10.3.x + QT 6.x + iM≤5
or....
10.4.x + QT 7.x + iM 6
plus, read the "recommended" hardware specs to run all the new, shiny software components.. I would NOT install 10.4/QT7 on an "antiqué" G3/400 ... I too own an old iBook G3/400.. with 10.3/QT6 and iM4...- works like charm, no need to upgrade ...
Golden Rule No. 11:
Never Change A Running System
.. and as Sue said: no way to downgrade from QT 7.02 .. only "escape" would be a clean reinstall from original, "old" installer disks ...
stuttering could have many other reasons ...
* your Macs 80GB could be crowded/full ... you should allways keep 10 - 15GB free while working with video...
* and, iM Grandmaster Karl Petersen made some observations, concerning "too many audio edits" in iMprojects.., long but helpful read here:

Downgrading my QuickTime to a WORKING version, need 7.3.1, 7.4 is loaded

Ok a couple days ago I Archive/Installed my OS again, and then updated everything back to how it was before QT stopped showing videos. Sadly I mistakenly remembered that ver 7.4 still showed my videos, and that 7.4.1 was the real problem, and sadly 7.4 IS the problem. Archive/Installs are tedious enough as is, can't I just overwrite the bad edition of QT with something older that works? I remember fondly of good old QT 7.3.1 that played all my videos without complaint. I had limited success with running my videos inside of iTunes, but iTunes drops so many frames it turns my videos into a slide show the frame dropping is so profound.
Anyone know a good way to do this, downgrade my QT to 7.3.1 from 7.4 ideally without having to to another archive/install?

A number of users who updated Quicktime to 7.4 (which for the most part was an important security update) found that they could no longer play mpeg4 files, and I was one of them. I concluded that this was due to QT 7.4 having been deliberately changed, in a similar way to Apple withdrawing support for imbedded Flash video in Quicktime 7.3.1.
I therefore decided to downgrade Quicktime from 7.4 back to 7.3.1, using Pacifist in the manner described below. I could now play mpeg4 files again. HOWEVER, I was subsequently persuaded by other users that QT 7.4 did NOT stop mpeg4 files being played correctly, and that this apparent side-effect could be cured by running the QT 7.4 installer a second time, with the usual permission repairs and restarts between each one.
I can confirm that this was successful and that QT 7.4 now does play mpeg4 files as it should. Why a second install might be required is a mystery, but it worked for me (and others).
But if you wish to downgrade Quicktime to 7.1.3, (even though you will lose the important security fixes contained in the 7.4 update, and you will also find that parts of iTunes 7.6 will not work without QT 7.4) there are two methods for doing this (note that attempting to manually delete Quicktime from your hard disk is doomed to failure, as QT has components all over the place as it is used by many applications):
(Note: I am running 10.4.11. Some things may be different in Leopard, but the principle should be the same.)
First: Go to HD/Library/Packages and delete the file QuickTime740_Tiger.pkg
1. Perform an Archive and Install process to remove all of the QuickTime update's (and potentially problem-causing) components, and replace them with the components of the older release. Unfortunately, this means you will lose some system settings and some or all third-party system add-ons. This method is therefore longwinded and inconvenient, but will ultimately work. Because QT is an integral part of OS X using an archive and install to also downgrade to a previous version of OS X so that the various versions can work in the intended tandem, is the safest way to do it. But there is also another way:
2. Install Quicktime 7.3.1 in such a way that it overwrites the QT 7.4 files without interfering with your other system settings and third-party add-ons. This can be done using a shareware (you can use it a few times for free, but worth paying for and having) application called Pacifist. This method works perfectly:
(Note that there separate QT 7.3.1 installer packages for Leopard, Tiger and Panther, and you can get them here:
Panther: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime731forpanther.html
Tiger: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime731fortiger.html
Leopard: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime731forleopard.html
Make sure you download the correct version for your system!
If you don't have it already, download Pacifist from:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
and install it.
Open Pacifist, and drag the icon of the QT installer to the Pacifist window. This will have the 'open carton' icon. Click on this, then click Install from the top left-hand corner of the Pacifist menu. You will be asked if you want existing files replaced. Say yes to all. Job done!
You will now have Quicktime 7.3.1 installed.
N.B. Repair permissions and restart both before and after installation.
PS: As QT 7.3.1 does not play Flash files imbedded in Quicktime and you want to revert to QT 7.2, you can download that from here and install in the same way (but with the important caveat that you will lose functionality in the latest version of iTunes and also certain widgets - as well as the security updates in later versions of Quicktime):
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime72formac.html
But none of this may be necessary.
If you are having problems playing MPEG4 video in Quicktime 7.4 (and Apple are aware that some users have had such problems) you should carefully check in
/Library/Quicktime and
/Library/Internet Plug-ins and
Home/Library/Quicktime
to check whether you have any third party plug-ins that are not completely up to date.
Current versions of Flip4Mac and DiVX and Perian do NOT cause failure alone or in combination. However the one SPECIFIC extension that ALWAYS causes the failure alone or in groups is 3ivxMediaImp. All other 3ivx extensions DO work. Remove only that ONE SPECIFIC extension.
Please try this and see if it fixes your problem with QT Player, the QT Firefox Plugin, and iTunes not playing MPEG4 files (including mp4 files).
Older 3ivx and DivX components are often incompatible with new QuickTime versions and are, in many cases, obviated by component packs like Perian.
This is not the only explanation for issues with MPEG4 file playback in QuickTime 7.4 and later, however. The issue with videos from democracynow.org and others, for instance, is the result of that content not complying with MPEG4 standards (namely that they use bogus track dimensions). QuickTime had previously ignored invalid track dimensions but this was changed in order to support properly authored anamorphic content.
The recent update to QT 7.4.1 has fixed a number of issues but some problems are unavoidable when working with non-standards compliant content. The standards are important for many reasons including keeping hackers from manipulating improperly coded web pages.
However, there is a workaround (also the basis for why those files will still play in iTunes): there are a few ways to trick QuickTime into ignoring the invalid track data. For instance, rename the files .3GP and they'll show up just fine.
Post back if you want a list of the plug-ins you should have in order to play pretty much anything in Quicktime.
