Quicktime has messed up my podcasts visuals
Since installing Quicktime 7.1.6 the visuals ( still photographs) on my .mac webpage will no longer play. I get a picture of the Quicktme logo and the mesage "this enhanced podcast requires Quicktime 7.0.2 or later". Everything seemed to work fine until I downloaded the new version of Quicktime. Any suggestions?
jc,
At best, all I can offer are suggestions. May you and any other that reads them, find each at least worth considering.
I share your dilemma and it appears (from the number of messages posted) many others do too. I can only conclude this latest upgrade of QT 7.1.6 has a few minor/major hiccups yet to be resolved. As a plus, there seems to be a plethora of "potential" fixes by many well intended and highly capable individuals. Yet, at least for me... none has resolved the issue you describe with our podcast visuals. I suspect by now that apple is at least aware of this problem and is hopefully already working diligently to resolve this issue. If I could suggest anything, it would be to exercise patience while apple works to resolve and continue reading as many posts as possible regarding this issue. Sooner or later, someone WILL discover what will resolve our dilemma. Until then... I suggest a measure of patient awareness as our optimal course of action.
Til then... may all who share this problem choose harmony over frustration as our fingers share our thoughts. And, that each takes the time to preview and modify them before posting to the world.

Hi,
My iTunes is set to automatically update podcasts and keep the last five episodes of each podcast.
However, iTunes appears to stop updating podcasts after several (five?) unwatched episodes and gives me an exclamation mark in the podcast overview. Clicking on that, I get the message: "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
This is not what I intend... and not what I told iTunes to do... (at least this my reading of the below settings)
This stopping is rather less then ideal: (1) if I am going away for two weeks, which I often do, I would still like to have the last five days of news, not the last five days of news back from the date I left, (2) I need to click update for approx. 20 podcast on regular basis, (3) my iPhone is synced to iTunes as soon as I come home, if iTunes does not have the podcasts downloaded, they are not copied over to the iPhone, and the iPhone will attempt to download the episodes via 3G next time I play the podcast on the go, (4) I am mainly using iTunes functions, such as smart playlists and podcasts, through another app (Plex, a fullscreen media player) and it is a pain to have to go to iTunes to manually do things. That is why this bothering me...
How can I get iTunes to behave as intended? (From reading through old posts I know that there is a Doug script adressing this problem, which I have just set up, but I would prefer to use internal settings if possible... maybe I am just missing a setting)
Thank you for your ideas!Thank you for the response, Roger!
OK, that's how it is then.
The iTunes podcasts settings should be reworded in that case because it suggest something different from what it does. And, of course, it would be ideal for Apple to make this more flexible and allow users to set up their podcast downloads in their way and not be so motherly (c'mon, Apple, your users are not as dumb as you think, and they have uncapped Internet connections these days anyway)...
Btw., for anyone interested, this is external script I am using now:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=updateexpiredpodcasts
Including the "cron job" setup here:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2011/12/updated-update-expired-podcasts-v2-2-and-l aunchd-project/
Cannot tell how well it works because I have just set it up, other members of the forum say it works for them...
If anyone knows of in-app solutions, please share... -
QUICKTIME HAS ENCOUNTERED AND NEEDS TO BE CLOSED
I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEM WITH MY IPOD CHROMATIC AND ITUNES 8. CAN ANYONE HELP?
I have had to install quicktime on its own as the joint itunes and quicktime will not work. The computer says that quicktime has been successfully installed and i restart the computer then it comes up with the message "Quicktime has encountered a problem and needs to close" I therefore can't use itunes or my ipod.
Anyone know how to fix this problem quickly as i desperately want my ipodProblems like this usually only occur, from my experience, when viruses have infected the system or the registry may be severely corrupted for some other reason. My suggestion is to perform a System Restore - go back to when it worked.
If that does not work, consider scanning for viruses. If this problem never goes away there will likely be no other option than to erase your computer and reinstall your operating system to install a clean copy of QuickTime and iTunes.
Any other suggestions from others would be helpful and welcome.
I am sorry you are having this problem. -
"Quicktime has stopped working"
My problem began about two weeks ago when I tried to open iTunes, and it said "iTunes has stopped working." I uninstalled iTunes, and tried to reinstall it but there was an error with QuickTime. Now, when I try to open QuickTime it says "Quicktime has stopped working," and it will not let me uninstall it from my computer. I just want iTunes back, but I cannot have iTunes without QuickTime. =/
Okay. Let's proceed on the assumption that it is just a badly broken QuickTime, then.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Now launch the Utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp and reboot the PC.
Next we'll clear away the leftover program files and folders. (These are 64-bit system instructions, which differ a little from 32-bit system instructions.)
Go "Start > Computer".
In Computer, open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your *program files* are stored on.
Open the "Program Files (x86) Folder".
Right-click on the QuickTime folder and select "Delete".
Go back into "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your *operating system* is installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "sysWOW64" folder.
Right-click the QuickTime file and select "Delete".
Right-click the QuickTimeVR file and select "Delete".
Empty your Recycle Bin and restart the Computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly? If so, do iTunes and QuickTime launch properly now? -

If you have a time machine backup, you could restore to mountain Lion.
However the Air runs faster and better on Mavericks. -
The new updates to 6.0.1 has messed up my phone. Face time is always every5-10 seconds saying reconnecting poor quality when both users have full wifi signal with nothing else running in the back ground taking up bandwidth. What's the deal an it seems like I am not the only iPhone user that I have come across that is having this problem iPhones ranging from the 4,4s,5,ipad2 and ipad3 users seem to be having this same issue is there a fix. If not is there a way to go back to the 5.0 iOS that was alot more stable with no issues.
Problem Solved!!! :) No need Of Any AntiVirus !
Got back into '''Firefox 5.0.1''' !!
Its Working Great! -
I cannot update iTunes because when I run the Apple Software Updater, it says "'iTunes + QuickTime' has an invalid signature. It will not be installed." If I try downloading only it says "'iTunes cannot update. Invalid signature. Can someone help?
This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.

After updating to 10.5.1, Quicktime has no sound. At first I thought it was my PBG4. I was able to hear the system sounds as well as iTunes. I recently upgraded Flip4Mac as well. Could this be the cause of my problems. I miss listening to streams via the internet.
Open the Audio MIDI Setup app (Utilities folder) and set the output format to 44100Hz and 16 bit sample size.
Quit and relaunch QuickTime and try the file again. -
Quicktime has started to 'judder' when playing HD?
MacBook Pro 1.16 Intel Core Duo (2G DDR2 memory) ; Quicktime 7.5.5
Quicktime has recently started to judder, stutter, when playing HDV 3/4's size or full screen. This is on a MacBook Pro Intel. It hasn't always done this. And.... I notice that when I'm playing the video clips through the Safari Browser (obviously accessing Quicktime) the clips play smoother.
I've never had a 100% smooth play, but it used to be FAIRLY smooth. I reboot, I fix permissions. Still juddering. I'm running Quicktime 7.5.5. And I'm wondering if I'm not TOO updated, trying to run a Leopard Quicktime on a Tiger operating system ... or something like that??
BenHi Klaus,
I've not updated coz I'm super busy with half-a-dozen mind-distorting projects constantly challenging my ability to 'maintain'. The idea of down time while I sort out a new operating system ... even an hour or two ... is too terrifying.
As both Tiger and Leopard have a Quicktime 7.5.5 ... I'm wondering how to tell which is which? Or whether the Leopard Quicktime will even run on Tiger?

Quicktime has audio, no video
Ever since "day one" of owning my iPod shuffle (over a year), Quicktime has never worked. I get neon color static on the screen, no video, but I do get audio. I have reloaded several times and finally gave up and just open my videos with Real Player. Today, I downloaded Quicktime's latest version alone (without iTunes) and I still have same problem with new latest program. Any suggestions? My videos are all Quicktime format.
Open QuickTime Player and under the Edit menu choose Preferences/QuickTime Preferences. This will open the QuickTime Control Panel.
Under Advanced tab and the Video area remove the check mark for DirectX and try Safe mode. Click the Apply button and try the file again. -
ITunes has stopped updating this podcast...
I'm curious if anyone has a fix for this ACTUAL iTUNES MESSAGE:
"iTunes has stopped updating this podcast becasue you have not listened to any episode recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
It seems crazy to me that iTunes would just stop updating my podcasts because I haven't listened in a while. It would be just as ridiculous if Tivo stopped recording TV shows because I haven't watched them in a while. It doesnt mean I dont want to listen/watch in the future.
APPLE: FIX THIS!Apple, count me as another user who wants you to do something different here. I would prefer to simply get a message that I haven't listened to a podcast in a while then not have it being downloaded. Especially now with advanced subscription settings that let us change the subscription on a per-podcast basis, this behavior should be changed. Maybe it's already in the queue?
Suggested change:
Just warn with option to stop warning, but always continue to download as per subscription settings.
I have a number of podcasts that I'm "subscribed to" but I don't listen to as regularly as they are published. However when i'm going to hit the road, I want those episodes there, especially on my ipod. I don't want to have wait for them to all update!
FYI for others reading this discussion; here is the Documentation:

ITunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened . .
I found an archived article from two years ago: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8453115 and have found subsequent articles talking about outboard solutions that I have tried and do not work. The problem continues to this day. Why doesn't Apple just fix this themselves?
Exact text of the message, as if it is a mystery: iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
Yes. Yes. Permanently, yes. Stop asking the question.creativestuff wrote:

Yes. Yes. Permanently, yes. Stop asking the question.
Although you may not like the way it's set up, Apple appears to have done this deliberately and therefore does not consider it broken. I suspect that they do it that way to conserve bandwidth.

8.2.1 error message "iTunes + Quicktime" has an invalid signature.
I am getting this error message when I am trying to download & install the 8.2.1 update. The entire message states "iTunes + Quicktime" has an invalid signature, it will not be installed. I saw another post started by Cfrolich, but it doesn't look like they got the problem fixed. Has anyone had this same error message? Can anyone help??
I have not had this problem before but the latest update to iTunes + Quicktime, offered today, puts me in the same situation.
The web is covered with reports of this issue over the years, always "iTunes + Quicktime has an invalid signature", but nothing I can see which is a good fix for the problem.
Tried chkdisk, install manually doesn't work, the installer just keeps trying.
Tried installing QT 7.6.4 independently from the Apple download page, that didn't help either.
If this is so prevalent, why isn't there more on the main Apple site about it?
