Quicktime&Rainbow  w/Shared Files  Since 10.5.2 and QT

Sharing files over a wireless network, problems remotely accessing files and having QT hang....
Anyone else out there having problems recently with *Quicktime giving a lot of rainbow wheel action* when either opening files or after streaming them for a bit? I have to force quit each time....
...this only happens *when sharing files*, not when accessing them with a hard wired connection.
I have tried MANY solutions, everything from disabling Remote Buddy, Little Snitch, turning off Time Machine, removing and replacing codecs and installing/uninstalling Perian....to no end.
This since about the time of QT 7.4.1 upgrades and 10.5.2 upgrade.
QT 7.4.1 installed in an instant, without what even seemed the time nec to dl the file!
10.5.2 hung up on "Writing Package Receipt" and I had to hard boot after waiting 1,5 hr....
....reinstalled 7.4.1; repaired permissions everywhere....still struggling....
Anyone? Relevant log files to check? Relevant elements to hunt for within log files?
Many thanks to the kind souls that might help!

Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Keynote to Dropbox or SkyDrive (broken files since update to ML and latest app version)

    This is causing me real pain, and I don't know what it is that is broken.
    Since the update to Mountain Lion and updating to the latest versions of the iWork apps on both my iMac and my iPad,  when I try and copy a keynote file into either my Dropbox or SkyDrive account (there are reasons for using these, so don't say, use iCloud please) whereas before the file would copy across whole, what I now get is a folder with all my inserted media (video/photos) and a broken up template.  The file is not transferring across whole.
    Is anyone else experiencing this, is it a specific ML or updated Keynote bug.  It's a real issue as I need to share a presentation and can't as the two file repositories I use for collaboration are now not working with the updated application.

    It sounds like the "Package" bit isn't being set.  Suggestion (1) is just routine housekeeping, run disk utility and make sure the disk is good and the permissions are repaired.  Suggestion (2) is a workaround : zip the keynote file and put that in dropbox.  Take it out of Dropbox then unzip to use, zip and put back in dropbox to sync.   It's not as convenient but it should workaround the problem.

  • Problems with the shared files of Windows Server 2003 and Mac

    I have some Mac computers in the domain of my LAN Network, and when I share a folder in Windows Server 2003 sometimes the Mac can not see and sometimes yes, but lasts a long time so that they can view folders. I have installed the protocol Apple Talk on the server and File Server and in the Domain Server.
    The folders when users have no security users or groups are immediately with a connection AFP, but if they have not already created security can be displayed with a connection AFP, but if you can visualize a connection with SMB, but I can not work with Quark 6.0 Pro files.
    What can I do to solve this problem.

    The newer printers:
    canon irc3100
    canon ir5020-i have working on osx side, not in classic
    Older printers:
    hp laserjet 5m-2 of these
    hp 2200
    hp laserjet 5si-2 of these
    hp laserjet 4100
    These are installed on windows 2003 with mac print services running. I need to know what option i should use in osx when installing these network printers on these macs. When i go to printers folder, i chose windows printing then it prompts for the ppd file. I found it for the ir5020 but not the ir3100. I really need to test the hp laserjets in osx too. Ill post up when i test those. But that one canon (ir3100) is bothering me. They are roughly the same age and the drivers on the site don't seem to work.

  • Sharing files between Adobe Premiere Elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS72D069B5-1663-44a9-BB4E-8182DB2EE6C6. html

    I suspect that this latest set of details is clouding the way to success.
    Typically we would be looking at integrated Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements set. I thought that we were working with Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 which would considered an integrated set.
    Let approach this from a different angle.
    Have you any idea what version of Premiere Elements your project.prel came from? Reflecting back, the concept of integrated combos of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements did not appear until the combo of Photoshop Elements 5 and Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2. Along with that came the perk of the Premiere Elements' Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow to do just that for the slideshow that it received from the Photoshop Elements side.
    Unless you have additional details that would support us getting to the goal, I think that the path of least resistance might be:
    a. if you can open the project.prel in question in Premiere Elements 10, then do so.
    b. After you have the slideshow on the Timeline, then use the Split Clip (Scissors Tool) to cut the slideshow at the spots where you want to insert additional pictures. You may have to add back transitions and such.
    The Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow would have been perfect for you to make your edits of the slideshow in Premiere Elements. But that command is only available in Premiere Elements under certain condition:
    a. You must be dealing with integrated combos of the programs, example, 5/3, 6/4, 7/7, 8/8, 9/9, 10/10, 11/11. There are a few loopholes in all that but I do not see them helping us at this time.
    b. You would have had to Output the Photoshop Elements to Premiere Elements with the Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor "Send to Premiere Elements or Edit with Premiere Elements Editor".
    Bottom line: if your task is going to involve more than the version 8 combo, then I think it best to try to open the project.prel that you have and break it apart yourself with the Split Clip Tool of Premiere Elements.
    And, did you say if this project.prel does open in Premiere Elements 10 without any missing media (Media Offline) messages?
    We will be watching for further information and developments. Please let me know if I have misinterpreted any of your information.
    Thanks.

  • Regarding shared file system requirement in endeca server cluster

    Hi,
    Our solution involves running a single data domain in an endeca server cluster.
    As per the documentation, endeca server cluster requires shared file system for keeping index file for follower node to read.
    My questions are,
    Can I run the endeca cluster with out shared file system by having the index file on each node of the endeca server cluster?
    Can dependency on shared file system be a single point of failure, if yes how can it be avoided?
    I really appreciate your feedback on these questions.
    thanks,
    rp

    Hi rp,
    The requirement for a shared file system in the Endeca Server cluster is a must. As this diagram shows, the shared file system maintans the index, and also maintains the state of the Cluster Coordinator, which ensures cluster services (automatic leader election, propagation of the latest index version to all nodes in the data domain). A dependency on a shared file system can be a single point of failure and requires to run a backup, -- this is a standard IT approach, that is, it is not specific to the Endeca Server cluster in particular.
    See this section on Cluster Behavior, for info on how the shared file system is used (the topic "how updates are processed"), and on how increased availability is achieved.

  • Sharing Files Over a Network from an External Drive

    I have a Macbook Pro that is running 10.5.6, and I have, recently, acquired another Mac that is running 10.5.6, as well. I decided that I wanted to share some files from my Macbook Pro. The setup for file sharing is a breeze, but I am having some issues. I choose folders from my Macbook Pro's internal drive, and I create two users, "alpha" and "beta." I give alpha privileges to share a folder called "A" and I give beta privileges to share a folder called "B." From my other Mac, I connect to my MBP, and I enter the correct credentials for each user, and "alpha" and "beta" have access to what was assigned to them earlier, respectively, folder "A" and "B."
    Everything seems to be great! However, the issue begins when my external drive comes into play. (It is formatted as Mac OS Extended Journaled.) I select a folder called "C," from my external drive, and give only privileges to user "gamma." I also select a folder called "D," also from my external drive, and only give privileges to user "delta."
    Whenever I login from my other Mac, I find a problem. If I login with "Gamma," I should only be able to view folder "C," but I can also view folder "D!" Whenever I login with "Delta," I should only be able to see folder "D," but I see folder "C," as well. I have fiddled around with many settings, and I have had no success. A few members on my network will be sharing files from my Macbook Pro, and I only want certain members to see certain folders. I've tried this with two different external drives, and they both exhibit the same issue. Is this something that can be fixed?
    Thanks for the help!

    I'm sure that someone has dealt with this. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

  • Quicktime won't play my .mov files since I upgraded to Mavericks.

    Quicktime won't play my .mov files, even those from an iPhone, since I installed Mavericks.  "Tell Me More" doesn't tell me anything about a solution.  Any suggestions?

    What do I do?
    Frankly, if you have deleted the original movie clips from your camera/camcorder and iPhoto, then it sounds as if you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle and there is nothing further that you can do.
    Some facts:
    For some reason, the movieclips are awful small (13-30 KB).
    640 x 480
    Codecs: H.264, AAC
    While these facts are of little value without file duration information, as you yourself have already noted, the file sizes quoted are extremely small. A typical VGA H.264/AAC file of reasonable quality would normally have a combined total data rate in the 700 to 1,700 Kbps range depending on specific settings, profile, and level of the encoding software and could be even higher or lower depending on the quality levels required. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that files in the 13 to 30 KB range only contain 104 to 240 Kbs and either have durations measured in fractions of seconds or do not actually contain enough data to be played. (E.g., the video data may be missing or the file is corrupted.) Thus, it is most likely that something was wrong with the workflow used to "export" your files to the external drive and when you ignored the fact that the files were not playing correctly, you closed the door on anything that you could do when you deleted the source files. (I.e., the normal workflow here is to copy the entire iPhoto library to the external drive, switch libraries, confirm the new library is working properly and only then delete the boot drive copy of the iPhoto library.)
    OBS: When I try to convert the files into something else (AVI, MP4 whatever) either it comes with an error, nothing happens or the converted file wont open. This happens with various convert-programs.
    If the data in the files is missing, then there is nothing to be converted by any application.

  • How to edit a shared file on my Mac?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to edit a shared file on my Mac?
    I know it is possible on the web, using Numbers/Pages/Keynote for iCloud Beta. But I was wondering if it is also possible to download and edit the file.
    I think it is also important that the file automatically updates himself when edited on the Mac, so the other user could see my changes.
    So I don't have to download the file --> edit it --> upload the file.
    Hopefully there is a solution for this problem, otherwise I'm hoping this will come in the near-future!
    Kind regards,

    How do I use a flash drive on my mac
    Since most flash drives are formatted for PC's rather than Macs, if you plan to use it only with a Mac, when it's plugged in, you can click on it in Disk Utility and partition it GUID and Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note that if you've already got files stored on it, partitioning it will erase them.

  • Shared file from computer with Windows 7 slow to open and save on computer with Windows 8.1

    I have three computers in homegroup. They can see each other and sharing files is not a problem. Main computer, where I have all my data on uses Windows 7 Home premium, and Office 2007. Both other computers use latest version Windows 8.1, Office 2010. I
    use these two computers to access files on main computer (word, excel). I have problems, because when I try to open word and excel files on these two other computers, files open very slow (green bar is showing, although word has no text inside), and also saves
    very slow - empty word file takes 1 minute for saving.
    One of computers with 8.1 had 8 before updating and I managed to solve this problem with running this protocol (smb.bat) - this solved the problem, although I do not really understand why:
    sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
    So it seems it is really something to do with the version of windows since the same computer had windows 8 and this protocol and worked well, but when updated to 8.1 it works slowly (I tried this protocol, but it is not working)
    Please see if there is any solution (updated protocol?) because I really cannot wait for word file to open 1 minute.
    Thank you for help!

    Hi,
    First, You can leave the homegroup and join again to see the result.
    To leave a homegroup:
    1.Open HomeGroup by typing homegroup in the search box, and then clicking HomeGroup.
    2.Click Leave the homegroup.
    3.Click Leave the homegroup, and then click Finish.
    You can also join the homegroup in the way accordingly.
    Besides, this happens after a upgrade to Windows 8.1, this also might be caused by service conflict, I suggest to perform a clean boot to solve this:
    1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.
    2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig.
    3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
    4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
    5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.

  • Why are shared files not visible when iPhone4S connected to iTunes?

    What makes this problem mysterious is that I have exactly the same settings on the same or eqivalent Apps on iPad2 and iTunes4S but when my iPhone is connected to my iTunes (running on my PC under Win7) it shows no files on Apps like Pages, iBooks, Keynote, and Print-n-share.  Each of these Apps has files and each shows files when  I connect my iPad2.   I cannot export or import filesto/from itunes and iphone because the list of files inside the Apps is not visible in itunes. 
    PS I CAN, btw, export and import files by using the amazing App and service "DropBox" which is the only route in and out of my iPhone (I am not ready to use iCloud).

    This is not a reply but an addition.  While searching for answers as to why "Shared" files in original Apps in my iPhone4S did not appear on itunes I came across a similar discussion on another Forum in which Jim described in some detail how to get the two devices (my iPhone 4S and my iPad2) to recognize similar embedded files in similar Apps.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16690584#16690584
    I went through this promising procedure but it did not help.  Since the two devices are independent (I think -- they are on the same accoubt but ar different devices) I should be able to make them work the same way with regard to what is seem in iTune.

  • Personal file sharing: file copying broken from/to imported account?

    I have an iMac G5 with two user accounts A and B ; and a MacBook Pro with two user accounts A' (imported from A with the migration assistant) and C.
    Personal file sharing, FTP and SMB are enabled on both machines. The firewall is disabled. Permissions, as well as the Keychain have been repaired.
    When I am logged as A' on the MBP, and when I connect to the iMac with the username/password of A, I can't copy files from A' to A : I get the following error message [The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items]. However, a 0-byte file is created on A'. The same problem occurs from A to A'.
    This problem drives me crazy because :
    - I can read and delete any file in A' from A (and vice-versa). Only copy and modification doesn't work.
    - I can copy files from A to C, A' to B, C to A, B to A'.
    - FTP sharing between A and A' does work.
    Someone got the problem solved by re-creating his account and re-importing all his data, but I absolutely want to avoid that. I'm sure there can be a simpler solution...
    It appeared to me that the only reason why AFP copy doesn't work between A and A' is that A' was imported from A. It seems also that a common broken preference/setting is not the source of the problem, since sharing works from/to any other account (and well, re-creating the account couldn't solve the problem as it would re-set the broken settings).
    I would like to know which information is used to determine user privileges when copying from one machine to another...
    A strange thing I noticed is that both A and A' have the same generateduid (which is thus not "unique") - could it be the source of the problem?
    If you have two machines with one account imported from one machine to another, can you check whether Personal file sharing with this account works? I love understanding why stuff doesn't work.
    Thanks!

    Here are the results of a few more experiments... Something is definitely broken with those two user accounts, but I'd like to know why, and how it got broken
    I have replaced the names of the accounts/machines by more meaningful identifiers.
    From the MBP, trying to access Account_B on the iMac:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mkdir test
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mount -t afp afp://accountB:*****@iMac/accountB test
    mount_afp: the mount flags are 0000 the altflags are 0020
    MBP:~ account_A'$ ls -l test
    total 0
    drwx------ 29 account_A' account_A' 942 Nov 8 22:28 Desktop
    drwx------ 14 account_A' account_A' 432 Sep 24 23:47 Documents
    (And I can copy whatever I want in test)
    Now trying to access Account_A:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mkdir test
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mount -t afp afp://accountA:*****@iMac/accountA test
    mount_afp: the mount flags are 0000 the altflags are 0020
    MBP:~ account_A'$ ls -l test
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x 23 501 501 738 Aug 26 00:03 Code
    drwx------ 13 501 501 398 Nov 8 13:10 Desktop
    (I can't copy to test here)
    501 is the uid of account_A (on the iMac). (The uid of account_A' is 503).
    Same stuff through SMB:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mkdir test
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mount -t smbfs //accountA@iMac/accountA test
    Password:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ ls -l test
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x 1 account_A' account_A' 16384 Aug 26 01:03 Code
    drwxr-xr-x 1 account_A' account_A' 16384 Nov 8 13:10 Desktop
    (In this case, it works)

  • OS 10.5 Sharing – Files appear as "Read Only" – SOLUTION!

    I have been having problems with sharing files between two macs since upgrading to 10.5 Leopard. Files and catalogs were available on both machines and both were set to "read & write" however files would only open as "read only" and files could not be saved between macs.
    After an entire day of trying to find an answer (and talking to Apple Care for hours) I have found the solution. And it's a very simple fix. The UUID needs to be changed on the computer giving you trouble.
    Here's the solution from the original post below:
    In OS X 10.5, you can change the UUID for your account by going to the "Accounts" system preferences and clicking the lock to authenticate. Then right-click (control-click) your account name and select "Advanced Options." Then click the "Create New" button next to the UUID field, and a new number will be generated. This should be done on the computer that you cannot properly connect to, and not on the computer you are connecting from. All this will do is provide a new identifier for your account when you are logging in remotely, and should clear problems with authentication and permissions mismatches.
    Hope this helps!
    Here's the original post from MacFixIt (I am including the entire post so that anyone searching for these phrases or error messages can find it quickly):
    Apple Discussion poster "Thomas Kranz1" writes:
    "I am suddenly getting this message when I try to copy a file from my new MacBook Pro to my PowerBook running 10.4.9. 'You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named [file I am trying to transfer] (stop, continue). I hit continue and get the error message: 'The item [that I am transferring] contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?' I say continue and get the error: 'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.' My network was working fine until today. I can copy fine to all other computers on my network. But not this one."
    When OS X transfers data between computers, you first log into the remote system and mount a readable or writable sharepoint from the remote system. Then when you transfer files they should be given ownership and permissions based on the account you're using on the remote computer (not the current computer). This ensures you can access the files anytime and from anywhere as long as you use the same credentials to log into the computer containing them.
    When problems with permissions in file transfers occur, you should first check your sharepoints to ensure the account you are using has read-and-write access to the share. To do this, open the "Sharing" system preferences and select the "File Sharing" service. Then ensure the sharepoint is listed in the "Shared Folders" list and then give the username you're logging in with both "Read & Write" permissions. If you are logging in from a PC, then click the "Options" button and enable "Share files and folders using SMB" and then select the account you wish to use to log in. Clicking "Done" should allow you to log into the system using the specified credentials.
    If the system keeps presenting insufficient privileges errors even after supplying appropriate credentials, the problem may be with how the computer is authenticating the account being used. For network directory authentication, OS X uses a "Universally Unique Identifier" or "UUID" number to identify user accounts, and if there is a problem with the UUID not matching, you may still be able to log in locally to the remote computer but may have permissions problems when using the same credentials remotely. Apple started implementing network directories that use UUIDs in OS X 10.3, and in 10.5 they're required, since Apple changed from the NetInfo authentication technologies to "Open Directory," which is built for network directory authentication and implements UUIDs.
    In OS X 10.5, you can change the UUID for your account by going to the "Accounts" system preferences and clicking the lock to authenticate. Then right-click (options-click) your account name and select "Advanced Options." Then click the "Create New" button next to the UUID field, and a new number will be generated. This should be done on the computer that you cannot properly connect to, and not on the computer you are connecting from. All this will do is provide a new identifier for your account when you are logging in remotely, and should clear problems with authentication and permissions mismatches.
    For people having problems with copying files to a 10.4 machine, it may help to ensure ownership on the shared resource is properly set. To do this, launch the terminal and type the following command, followed by a single space:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`
    NOTE: The command uses "grave accent" marks (`), which is the character under the "tilde" next to the "1", and not apostrophes or single-quotes.
    After this has been typed (with the space following it), drag the shared folder to the terminal and the full path to the folder should complete. Then press enter and supply your password to complete the command. When this has been run, try copying the files again.

    David,
    Of course the files are checked in; otherwise I wouldn't be able to create a configuration on them and base a workarea on the configuration in order to download the files.
    Here's my problem: I check-in and out files while developing a release. A release for me is a set of (checked-in) objects and folders grouped in a checked-in configuration.
    Once I'm finished I want to download the release. In order to do this I base a 'DOWNLOAD' workarea on the configuration that represents the release.
    Then I download the DOWNLOAD workarea; and have all files in the release on my file system. But I do not want them to be READ-ONLY !!, since the folders and files that make up my application have to be moved and copied around a couple of servers using FTP scripts and this is a whole lot more complicated when the files and folders are read-only.
    If this cannot be disabled than Oracle SCM is a lot less attractive for our way of doing SCM... although I have been able to adjust all my Java FTP classes so that write-access is enabled on all file and folders after download and before publishing the application to all servers.
    By the way I use the Java API of Oracle SCM to download the contents of the DOWNLOAD workarea.

  • File Sharing between Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and Mac OS 8.6 Powerbook 1400

    well ok, for some this might sound ridicule. Why should I still be using a 13 year old PowerBook. Let me tell you, this is writing/typing heaven, Zen-like; no distractions at all, no twitter, no internet (although possible), no emails just pure you and your text and if you spin down the HDD, absolute silence. as said before pure Zen writing heaven. and on top of that you're typing on the best keyboard ever on a laptop.
    As you might see I love my vintage masterpiece of a laptop and use it on a regular basis. Just one Problem.
    Since I Installed Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro 17" I just haven't been able to establish a connection between the two machines.
    I have to admit, I'm not that versed with OS 8.6 but with 10.5 I had absolutely no problems accessing the shared folders on my MacBook Pro and vice versa.
    My first thought was to activate Appletalk on the ethernet on my Macbook, which I failed to find anywhere. The Apple Discussions Forums revealed that Appletalk has been dropped with the introduction of Snow Leopard but all the entries where regarding printing issues with shared printers, I didn't find anything about actual file sharing and thus did not get any clues how to share files between my two machines.
    My PowerBook 1400cs/166 runs on 8.6 and I use a Global Village Platinum PCMCIA card (modem and Ethernet combi card). this setup worked perfectly with 10.5 but I have not been able to make establish a connection since running 10.6 on my MBP.
    I am really desperate since I heavily depend on being able to exchange files between those two machines through an ethernet connection.
    So I kindly ask anyone who might be able to help me to please consider posting any solutions or at least ideas which could help me with my problem. I really would greatly appreciate any effort whatsoever.
    Thank you very much for your time.
    EDIT:
    What I forgot to mention: strangely enough, when I enable Internet Sharing on my MacBook Pro (through Airport) to Ethernet, my PowerBook 1400 can connect to the internet without any problems.

    First of all let me thank you very much. It actually works (partially).
    There seems to be a problem though. While I can connect perfectly from my MBP 10.6 to my PowerBook 1400, the other way round doesn't work.
    My MBP does not show up in the Network browser of OS 8.6 but I could life with that.
    The problem is that if I try to connect to my MBP from my PB1400 by entering the IP directly a alert message appears reading that the "User Authentication Method required by this server can't be found, please check the AppleShare folder in the Extensions folder and try again".
    Do you have any clues what I'm doing wrong or where the problem may lie?
    PS.
    Even if you may not be able to further help me with this problem, I ow you a great deal of gratitude and am very thankful for your help so far. At least I can exchange files between the two machines and that's what I needed in the first place.

  • I have QuickTime Player 7.6.8, I cannot update or remove it b/c I am missing QuickTime.msi file. It is gone and I need it back. Please help.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run 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, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
