Quicktime for windows doesn't work, wont let me uninstall or update.Help!

Quicktime for windows doesn't work, won't let me uninstall (tells me fatal errro) or update (tells me it encountered an error on installation). Help!I am running Windows XP on an Intel pentium PC. Any ideas? Dvora

When you get this fatal error uninstalling, try a full removal of iTunes and related programs with an installer clean up of any that do not uninstall cleanly:
Here is a method:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Username and password for Windows doesn't work for Safari

I just installed Safari 3.0.3 for windows under WindowsXP on local machine. But I have problem access local IIS.
Here is what I did:
1. type http://localhost in Safari
2. I get a pop up login window says "To view this page, you need to log in to area localhost on localhost:80",
3. I entered my username and password to Windows, then "Enter"
4. The pop up window comes back, it says "the name and password entered for are localhost on localhost:80 is incorrect."
I don't see this problem in IE or Firefox on the same machine. In Firefox, it pops a similar window ask for username and password, I entered the same username and password to Windows, it works. But in Safari, it doesn't.
I am wondering if anyone knows how to solve this problem. thanks.

Hi,
i've couple of ideas that might help...
1:
just wandering are either of you guys accessing the internet via a proxy server? if so i suspect that Safari is not by bypassing local addresses and hitting the proxy server first.
if this is the case, Safari should respect the same settings that IE does, so try setting IE and/or FF to bypass the proxy for local address/servers - and see if Safari now works...
2:
also, the text box that ask's you for your password, does it say on it somewhere, something like, "password will be sent clear" or "password will be sent encrypted"
i seem to get a similar problem, but with accessing our work ISA server, my localhost is fine btw. Anyway it might be the case the safari is trying to send a clear text password to an encrpyted password request or vica-verca (sp?) - soooo try setting your IIS to accept clear/basic authentation as well at NT Auth/Encrypted
ok, hope that helps, and make sense

Download link to reset utility 1.0.4 for windows doesn't work!!!

The download button on the support.apple.com site does not work!!!! It keeps taking me in circles. All I'm trying to do is get the reset utility so I can fix the real problem with my apple product. This is starting to make windows support look relatively good.

You can't. 10.1.0.4 is a patch set and is available only from Metalink. You'll need a support contract to use Metalink.

64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows

I'm running 64-bit version of Windows 7 via bootcamp. I'm running 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010. I have the latest version of Quicktime installed 7.7.3 something. I can play the file on the desktop no problem, but when I try to insert the file into Powerpoint or play a file that I inserted previously into Powerpoint on a different system, it says either Quicktime unavailable or you need a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert the file.
So, exactly where is a 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows because apparently the one on the Apple website for Windows is not 64-bit. Everyone keeps saying download the 64-bit version of Quicktime. Great, tell me where it is. There is no option for 64-bit on the website. It doesn't even say it is 64-bit. It just says its compatible with Windows 7. Powerpoint 2010 64-bit MUST have a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert or play any Quicktime file. The OS doesn't give a rats @ss one way or the other.
The file I previously inserted was playing on a system that apparently had a 32-bit version of Powerpoint installed. That machine defaults to VLC player on the desktop. It has no issues with the file. It's the Quicktime Player mismatch on my machine that is giving me grief. If I knew Office was going to be a PITA if I installed the 64-bit version I would have stuck with the 32-bit version.
Ideas? Where is the 64-bit version? How do you tell it is 64-bit? How do you force the installer to make sure it ONLY installs a 64-bit version of it?

If Microsoft merely off their own decided that only a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be supported by them and did not both checking such a beast existed then this is perfectly believable behavior on the part of Microsoft and they should roast in **** for it.
If Apple led Microsoft to believe that a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be released like a 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows has been released but then backed out then this is equally believeable behaviour on the part of Apple and then equally the guilty parties at Apple should roast in ****.
It should be noted that the 64-bit version of iTunes is able to play videos via the 32-bit version of QuickTime. This suggests Microsoft programmers are weak with the force. This would tend to support my theory that Microsoft despite being the biggest software company in the world are better at making hardware than software.
Moving on to trying to be more constructive…
Clearly as things stand using the existing and only official version of QuickTime for Windows which is 32-bit only is not going to work in 64-bit Office. It might therefore be worth looking at trying the following.
Uninstall completely Apple's 32-bit QuickTime for Windows (if installed currently)
Install QuickTime Alternative - see http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm
I have no idea if QuickTime Alternative is 64-bit, I have no idea if it will work in 64-bit Office even if it is 64-bit. However it does work in Internet Explorer for Windows, it is free and therefore will cost you nothing to try. If it does not work you can then always uninstall it.
As another even more abtruse solution, you could try loading your PowerPoint file in to the free iWorks i.e. KeyNote via a free iCloud account. It will allow importing PowerPoint files and will even work in Internet Explorer.

Xvid on quicktime for windows

Has anyone figured out how to use xvid on quicktime for windows? I'm running windows 7, both 32 and 64 bit.
It seems crazy that it wont work as almost all downloaded films use the xvid codec.
I'd love to be able to get some stuff on my ipod, and quicktimes/itunes seem the best way

Good question ... the xvid people say they are working on their QuickTime integration:
+*I work on Windows and want to use Xvid in Quicktime – is there a plugin available?*+
+There’s a Xvid quicktime plugin available but it’s been created for Mac and is not well maintained at the moment. We’re currently working on improved Quicktime support, which will become part of the Xvid core code base.+
http://www.xvid.org/FAQ.14.0.html
... but I'm afraid it's a bit of a "Watch this space" situation still for xvid. They do have a Windows codec available on their site, but I think that's the one best suited to WMP.

Do you have any restrictions for purchasing apps on the phone? Settings > General > Restrictions. If you have a Mac computer or another Apple device can you purchase things in the App Store using the same Apple ID on something else?

Quicktime for Windows -- on Vista -- opens a .mov movie once, then won't open the move and Quicktime won't even open itself. I've installed the latest version, and upgraded it to Plus as well.

I am having trouble opening .mov videos with Quicktime on my PC with Vista. I installed the latest version of Quicktime for Windows (V.7.7), and upgraded it to Pro. It will open a .mov file once, then after that it will not open any .mov file and in fact, when I try to open the Quicktime player it will not open itself. If I switch users to Admin, it all works fine, but when I go back to my regular role (where all of my preferences and programs are there for me to use), the same thing happens. An .mov file will open once, then never again, and the Quicktime player seems to be disabled.
I've tried different .mov files, so it's not a corrupt file that's the problem. And, in the past (a couple of Quicktime versions ago, I guess), all of this worked just fine.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

I have the exact same problem. They play on my Mac under Snow Leopard. Transfer to Vista gets a window with black and white and some other noise. No sound either.

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.)

But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

Textvariable with replacement path for 0CALMONTH doesn't work ...

Hello expert,
we have done release upgrade BW 7.01 -> BW 7.3 SPS 04. While checking queries I found out that textvariables with replacementpath for 0CALMONTH doesn't work anymore. In the report I only see the variable name like ZVARXYZ01 but want to see something like 'JAN 2011'.
As far as I understand 0CALMONTH don't need a texttable. Texts can be found in table T247. I checked the table and all values looks fine.
Any Idea where the problem is or how I can analyze it?
Thank you in advance,
Peter

Hi Peter
Please check this link, especially this note for text variable problems after upgrade to 7.3
Let us know if it helps.
Think of giving points.

How long did you let it charge? It may take 30 minutes before the iPad responds when the battery is completely drained. Let it charge for at least 30 minute using the wall charger. Then rest the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%.
If the iPad still does not start make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Quicktime for Windows cannot keep up with HD video

I just bought a new Aiptek GO-HD video camera. It records in H.264 format using .MOV files as the container. I don't know the specifics of the files, but they are 1280x720 and the files run at approximately 2 GB per hour.
The camera came with a decoder to allow Windows Media Player to play back the files, which works OK (the quality is fine, but the controls don't always work). The CODEC is identified as: NewSoft MPEG Video Decoder Filter (H.264/AVC). Windows Media Player shows up using 80% of the dual cores (40% of each).
When I try to play back the files with the current version of Quicktime, the video is a bit choppy. Quicktime shows up using 60% of the dual cores, but appears to use more of one than the other (neither is pegged at 100% though)
The files play back fine on a relatively high end Mac - I'm not sure if the different is that it's the Mac version of QT or that it's higher end hardware.
Two questions:
First - is it a CPU limitation or a Quicktime for Windows limitation?
Second - if I buy Quicktime Pro, will I be able to edit and encode the video without the stuttering?
I'm willing to accept temporary issues as long as I can produce videos that will be playable on the right hardware (or converted to other formats). I might eventually get a Mac Mini if that will work for editing these files.
If you want to check it out, I've temporarily posted a 13 MB video to http://afterburner.net/temp/cameratest/cameratest.mov
Many thanks,
Rick

http://www.goaiptek.com/samples/GO-HD_video-sample.MOV
Sample file from the creators of the camera.
Movie Properties window of QuickTime Pro shows H.264 but the Movie Inspector windows shows AVC with some garbage characters.
I was able to edit either file (copy/paste) without issue. I also exported a portion of your file using AIC (Mac format) and will test later with other codecs.
H.264 Video is CPU intensive and my 1.4GHz Mac mini couldn't play the file without dropping frames and the fan kicked into high gear.
So you'll need a powerful machine to view the file but an average one could do the editing (as long as you don't mind load noises and dropped frames during playback).
It's a $300 camera that does HD? Amazing.

Can QuickTime for Windows read .vob files?

Can QuickTime for Windows read .vob files so I can edit them? I have some .vob files that were recorded from old VHS tapes and want to share the content with others. Can I read in the .vob into QuickTime, edit them, and then save them as mpeg or wmv movies?
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
There are several options. I'll just post what works for me.
Perian is a small component for Quicktime Player (and other apps that use QT) this adds many more codecs that Quicktime PLayer can play.
http://perian.org/
Movist is a player, much more capable than QT (play lists, remember last played file, more control for sub titles etc) It can play all QT formats using Quicktime's codecs including formats when Perian is installed , but also uses FFmpeg to decode nearly anything you can throw at it.
http://code.google.com/p/movist/
VLC is another player. Not as elegant as Movist, also play nearly anything you throw at it.
