Quicktime pro upgrade will not launch

Upgraded to pro about 6 weeks ago and followed the procedure for such. I can only launch QT player and QT Pro is "grayed out". I do have the code. Any help would be much appreciated.

Make sure you're entering in both the user name and key code exactly as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to error.
Also make sure you purchased a key for the correct platform (Windows or Mac). QuickTime keys are not cross-platform.
Hope this helps.

Studio Pro 3 will not launch

I just installed it on my new MacBook Pro 2.4 and it will not launch. Worked fine on my 2.33 MacBool Pro that was stolen. Any ideas?

I'm surprised that you actually got it to work on the previous MacBook. DVDSP3 is not built to run on an Intel processor. Unfortunately, I'd suggest upgrading to DVDSP4 Universal Binary, or even going all the way to FCS2. You may get it to work, but since it isn't in the specs, Apple won't help you support it.

Premier Pro 2014 will not launch

I've downloaded Premier Pro 2014 and tried to launch it, but it freezes every time and won't even force quit. I have to hard crash the whole computer to get out of it.
I've tried reinstalling, setting the permissions to read/write in the Adobe folder in the library, and tried to reset the preferences on launch as described here. But nothing works.
Also I'm having basically the same problem with After Effects 2014.
I think it has something to do with Media Core, but I can't figure out how to remedy. Earlier versions of PP CC and AEP CC are both working fine. Just these new versions will not launch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Computer is a MacPro, 2.93 Ghz Quad-Core with 10GB of RAM.
Thanks!

It's working! Yay!
Strangely, there is no 8.0 folder in the Plug-ins folder. So I pulled the plugins out of the 7.0>MediaCore folder and then was able to launch PP 2014. After getting it running. I quit PP and dragged the plug-ins back into the 7.0>MediaCore folder and was able to launch PP 2014. And this time it launched with all the plug-ins.
I was also able now to launch After Effects CC 2014 with all its plug-ins working.
Is it possible there's a different file structure for PP 2014 Plug-ins?
Anyway it's working. Thanks for your help.

Quicktime and Itunes will not launch!

Both quicktime and itunes come up with errors whenever I try to lauch them. I have tried nearly EVERYTHING and they will not start! This is quicktime error-
Quicktime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Error signature is BEX

Interesting. In that case, the errors are probably being caused by the absence of the two files I mentioned earlier. Haven't seen one of those for a while.
We'd better swap out your existing QuickTime. We'll take a few additional explicit precautions along the way, just in case.
First, download and save a fresh copy of the QuickTime installer (QuickTimeInstaller.exe) to your hard drive. (Don't run the install online, and don't start the install from the downloaded installer just yet. Use the download option that doesn't mention iTunes.)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Now head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Uninstall QuickTime.
Next we'll clear away any leftover QuickTime program files or folders.
In "My Computer" open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
Open the "Program files" folder.
Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Empty your recycle bin and restart the PC.
After the PC restarts, do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Did the QuickTime install seem to go through properly? If so, are iTunes and QuickTime launching for you now?

Pro Tools will not launch following power cut during installation

Having just bought an mbox 2 I installed the version of Pro Tools 7 that it came with. Once installed, I opened up the demo project to check that everything worked okay and this was successful. I then downloaded the free upgrade to Pro Tools 8 that was e-mailed to me having registered my copy of Pro Tools 7. During the installation, my house suffered a power-cut. When I relaunched it, two error messages came up on the screen about the mbox and one other product which I hastily clicked 'fix' to. Unfortunately I cannot remember what these were but I think it mentioned something about start-up. I then uninstalled Pro Tools and re-installed Pro Tools 8 and every time I launch it it crashes saying 'Pro Tools quit unexpectedly'.
Unsuccessful troubleshooting attempts:
-Tried uninstalling and re-installing, verying a disk repair after each attempt
-Tried restarting several times
-Tried unplugging the mbox 2 before installing/uninstalling with no success
-Tried installing both Pro Tools 7 and 8 with the same results.

Joey, does it have an uninstaller?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If that doesn't work we may have a munged OS component.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

FaceTime Will Not Launch or Connect

Ever since installing the latest update of FaceTime on my MacBook Pro, it will not launch.
Everytime I try to launch it, I get the below error message:
"You have been disconnected from FaceTime services.
An internal error occured that disconnected you from all FaceTime services. To resume using FaceTime, quite and relaunch FaceTime."
I've tried quitting and restarting, I've tried deleting the .plist file, I've deleted and re-installed, and I nothing changes. I get the error message every single time.
Can anyone help?

We are not the only two people having problems. MANY people have left comments on the Facetime app page. I ended up contacting Facetime support, (click on Express Lane, fill out your info and have them call you immediately) and we were able to fix the problem. That would be my recommendation. Basically there is something wrong with the update, so it has to be uninstalled and reinstalled. I had placed it in my trash before to uninstall, but had not emptied the trash (that was the key for me). From there, I went to the App store, clicked on purchases, located Facetime and reinstalled it. After testing the program, it worked as before. I hope that helps.

Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

Apple programs, Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari, Quicktime will not launch.

Recently we downloaded some upgrades from Apple and now Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari and Quicktime will not launch. The icon dances on the dock, and the operating system records the program as having opened, but the program does not come up and the icon menu on the dock still displays open rather than quit. I have tried re-installing the programs to no avail.

"Repair disk was unable to repair these"
Any one of the following may fix the directory damage:
DiskWarrior
Highly recommended for *directory damage* repairs.
TechTool Pro
Multi-functional utility.
Drive Genius Multi-functional utility.
You will need to make your own decision on which to purchase. Read up on them on their websites because each does something a little different.
You must use the versions that are compatible w/your OS system & keep the utilities updated to avoid damaging/harming/trashing your system.

QuickTime 7.55.90.70 will not launch properly

iTunes 8.0.1.11 / QuickTime 7.55.90.70
Dell Dimension 4600, Intel Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHz w/1MB cache, 1024MB DDR SDRAM at 333MHz, Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2
Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1, Service Pack 3
I've been successfully running iTunes and QuickTime on this system for over a year. I often use QuickTime to watch iTunes Store-purchased videos when I'm offline.
The problem started yesterday evening.
When I launch QuickTime, the window flashes open for a split-second and closes. The program button still appears in the toolbar; however, everything but Move, Mininize and Close are greyed out.
I tried the following fixes. All have failed.
1. Ran Windows System Restore to point before problem occurred.
2. Ran Repair QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
3. Uninstalled QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
4. Downloaded QuickTime from Apple website and installed. QuickTime would still not run and iTunes stopped working, with error message that QuickTime was missing.
5. Uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime from Control Panel.
6. Downloaded QuickTime + iTunes from Apple website and reinstalled.
7. Deleted all QuickTime preferences files (I found four).
8. Re-entered registration number for QuickTime. (I upgraded to QuickTime Pro earlier this year.)
iTunes is now working normally but QuickTime still will not launch properly.
It's possible that yesterday I launched iTunes while QuickTime was running; it's the only thing I can think of that might have created this problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It sounds as if you have more of a problem than I did. I'm not an expert and I'm hesitant to make suggestions that might make the problem worse.
In the meantime, I do recommend that you back up all of your iTunes music before you do anything else, and get into the habit of backing up on a regular basis.
Then you might want to try this: completely uninstall both iTunes and QuickTime (using Revo, unless you know how to clean up the registry on your own). Then reinstall both programs (available at the link I posted earlier) and see if that takes care of the problem.
If this doesn't work, I suggest you start your own thread describing the problem and asking for help. Hopefully an Apple rep -- or at least someone more experienced than I am -- can help you.
Sorry I can't be more useful, and good luck.

TS1717 Since the upgrade to version 11 ITunes will not launch I'm running Windows 7

Quick Time Pro will not launch

10/04/10: I downloaded Quick Time 7 and purchased a key for Pro. I can open video files with QT7Pro but I cannot launch Quick Time from either the short cut that was created or from the All Programs. The only thing that happens is that the Apple Quick Time logo and name appear in the bottom of the screen as though the program was shrunk down. It will not launch. Right clicking on the icon only provides the capability to "move" "minimuze" or "close." Maximize is grayed out and so is "restore."
I'd like to use the software I purchased to edit my videos and use some of the other features of Quick Time Pro.
What could be the issue? HELP.
Bill N. in Sarasota, Florida

That sounds a bit like a blown-out QuickTime preference file, Bill.
First we'll try rebuilding the QuickTime.qtp file, to see if that helps with the launch.
Quit QuickTime if the button is currently showing in your Taskbar.
We'll now have to set you up to view hidden files and folders.
(1) Quit Safari if you have it open
(2) Go Start > Open.
(3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
(4) Click the View tab.
(5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
(6) Click OK.
Now look for a QuickTime folder in one of the following two locations (where "UserAccountName" is the name of the user account in which QuickTime isn't launching correctly):
C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
... or:
C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
Drag the entire QuickTime folder out onto your Desktop.
Now launch the QuickTime Player again. (This should rebuild the folder and contained preference files.)
Does the Player launch properly this time? Or do you still get the same trouble?

ITunes will not launch or upgrade

When I attempt to launch iTunes, I get an error message of "Problem with Shortcut: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." The program will not launch from the icon, from the start menu or when I connect my iPhone.
I also cannot complete an upgrade of iTunes, as it hangs on the install feature. It will not replace previous iTunes.msi files and will not let me redirect it to a new location.
Help please!

Download the Windows Install Clean-up.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Then go to the list of Programs on your computer and find the Windows Install Cleanup. It will be listed at the end of the list of programs starting with "Windows". Open it and remove the following programs form the list by using the Ctrl tab on your computer to highlight these programs (If there are more than 1 version listed, remove all versions): iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bon Jour, and Apple Application Support. Remove these programs. After these programs are removed, go to iTunes website and download the new version of iTunes. You do not need to restart your computer. This worked like a charm for me!

CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it. I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps). So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens. What next?
