Quicktime Software Update

I keep getting a little popup that says "some of your quicktime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest verson" They give 2 boxes Cancel and Do It Now. Once I click Do It Now, the update disappears and there is no way to tell if it is updating. Several times I have tried this and it has deleted Itunes from my computer. The little box pops up constantly when Itunes is open. When I try to reinstall Itunes it won't complete the process. Can anyone out there give me any suggestions?

I have the exact problem and have tried uninstalling both quick time and itunes and reinstalling them. Yes, rebooting the system each time and still have the same problem. The little window pops up ALL the TIME while on itunes or even on the itune site. While on the page to trouble shoot the Quick Time software I see both icons and it states that it is working correctly.
I can view video's using this software but the box that pops up 15-30 times while on itunes is a pain.

  • Isight Stopped Working After Installing Quicktime Software Update

    This afternoon when I logged into my Macbook, it automatically detected new software update for Quicktime. As always, I let the computer download and install the software. However, this time it created a lot of problems for me. First, I couldn't connect to my network (I use Airport Express) although the signal was strong. After reset modem, router and Airport, finally I could get on network. However, then I found out my Isight stopped working. The light on the right side of the built-in camera was always on (green). My Photo Booth screen appears green all the time. I no longer can use Skype video chat. Does anyone encounter the same problem? Can anyone help me out? I use Macbook, the operating system is OX 10.4.3. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Freepisces
    I have all the latest updates on my Macs, and I have no problem at all.
    If you applied the latest (7.4.1) QT update, your problem may be due to the fact that the System Requirements for QuickTime 7.4.1 for Tiger include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, and you show that you are using Mac OS X (10.4.3). You can check which QT version you have installed using the QuickTime Player > About QuickTime Player menu command.
    If your QT version is an older one that is compatible with your Mac OS, and if you have not done so since you applied the QT update, repairing permissions may help you.
    If the problem is somehow related to your iSight rather than to your QT software, Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight may help you identify and fix your problem.
    Unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so, you should consider updating to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). To find out what improvements you are missing by staying with 10.4.3, see some of the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.xx Update" documents for updates later than 10.4.3. A couple of examples are:
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo) and
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    If you are interested, other "About..." documents are linked in this search list.
    Because System Requirements for the latest combo applicable to your MacBook, Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), are for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, you will need at least two steps to upgrade from your Mac OS X (10.4.3), so pay careful attention to the System Requirements of any updates you plan to apply.

  • HT1926 I cannot connect my iphone to itunes. When I go through the troubleshooting, it tells me to uninstall and re-install itunes. BUT I do not have Apple Software Update or Quicktime to uninstall. It tells me that Apple Services failed to start!! Please

    I go through all the motions in troubleshooting and uninstall Itunes, but I have not got Quicktime and Apple Software Update to uninstall. I then re-install Itunes but I get an error saying that 'Service Apple Mobile failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start'. Which I have.  Please help!!

    I have the same problem, did you find a solution?

  • (Software Update) The update "QuickTime can't be saved.

    I have gotten the following failure repeatedly on every attempt (about 5x) of QT 7.5 update. I have successfully used Software Update to get to OS X 10.5.4 but the QT 7.5 update has not succeeded.
    The Software Update status window says' Downloading 1 item Expanding and verifying QuickTime...'
    The error message is 'The update "QuickTime" can't be Saved. Software Update could not expand the package correctly.'
    Based on the QT discussion board i am wondering if it is even a good idea to get this 7.5. However the iTunes 7.7 says that it requires QT 7.5. I am at iTunes 7.7 now. The reason is I read that I need to be on 10.5.4 OSX and iTunes 7.7 before downloading iPhone OS 2.0.
    thanks

    I was using Software Update, which is supposed to know the correct version. Once, I did try to get the Leopard version off the downloads web page and the disk failed to mount. After your reply I tried again from the downloads page and this time it worked.
    So problem solved, but I have no clue why...I had just rebooted... but I had rebooted before without it helping. It seems random chance combined with enough reboots did the trick.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Itunes won't launch - requires Quicktime 7.5.5 but software update says software is current

    itunes won't launch - requires Quicktime 7.5.5 but software update says software is current

    Are you using Leopard?
    If so, let's try installing a QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple website:

    If you install that does that clear up the iTunes trouble?

  • Why two QuickTimes with Apple Software Update in Vista under Boot Camp?

    Running Apple software update in BootCamped Vista, I see selection for 1) QuickTime, 2) Safari, 3) iTunes & QuickTime.
    Items 1) and 3) are by default checked for download. Why would I want to download QuickTime twice??

    Hi!
    Funny you should mention that! Same thing happened to me yesterday, I was downloading Boot camp 2.1 and there were the other three downloads you mentioned. I downloaded them anyway. I now have Safari 3.2.1 (etc.) on my Windows partition. Why did I do that ? To be frank I do not know!! Now you have all three on the Windows partition.

  • Software Update keeps timing out on QuickTime 7.1.6

    Three different Macs (MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac PPC) all with the same problem.
    Software updater times out, downloading directly from apple.com has the same problem.
    Updater downloads other updates, can download Quicktime for Windows with no issues.
    Anyone have any similar kind of problem?

    Listen, I for one can assure you that I do not use 'HALF* programs' or equipment, it is a great insult you say this, to all who spend big bucks to use Apple Ipod's and pay your wages to work for Apple. I know that programers who write these updates are individuals who are very highly intelligent in their field. For them to take nanosecond and provide a little more time to keep all users safe, even the ones who may use your so called 'Half* programs" safe, they still pay good money to use iTunes, Apple products.
    Here is a suggestion, make the updates alittle smaller, AND a whole lot less attitude from customer service people we are only asking a question.
    Have a good day.

  • Software update killed Quicktime!

    I've been running 10.3.9 for so long now and everything was fine until I ran Software Update and upgraded to Quicktime 7.1.3. Now Quicktime won't work, iTunes won't work and even my old copy of Quicktime 6.5.2 (which I have Pro enabled on) won't work either. Does anyone know what happened or what I can do to fix it? advTHANKSance

    Thanks for your reply. I had already updated to QT 7 and moved QT6.5.2 to a safe folder elsewhere on the drive so as not to lose my Pro capabilities. Since running SU neither version will boot up. I get the beach-ball for a few seconds, then the black triangle appears in the dock next to the QT icon, but I never get QT menus. I have to Force-Quit QT, although strangely, the list in the Force-Quit window doesn't show "Not Responding" next to QT as I would expect. Also, QT7.1.3 works as a plug-in in my Web Browsers, just not as an app on the computer.
    I hope this info can help you figure out what I need to do to fix it. Thanks again!

  • Question Re. Quicktime 7.04 Software Update

    Hi All,
    I have a question in regards to the 7.04 software update. I am running QT Pro 7.02. I read the disclaimer:
    QuickTime 7.0.4 is an important release that delivers numerous bug fixes, support for iLife '06, and H.264 performance improvements. This update is highly recommended for all QuickTime 7 users.
    Important Notice to QuickTime Pro Users
    Installation of QuickTime 7 will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 5 or QuickTime 6. If you proceed with this installation, you must purchase a new QuickTime 7 Pro key to regain QuickTime Pro functionality. After installation, visit www.apple.com/quicktime to purchase a QuickTime 7 Pro key.
    My question is, do I have to purchase a new Quicktime Pro 7 key if I install the 7.04 update? It states that installation will disable QT 5 or 6 Pro functionality but does not specify what will happen if you already own QT Pro 7.
    One other question off topic, when I launch QT lately to play a clip, the clip does not automatically play even though I have "automatically play movies when opened" check boxed in my QT preferences. Why might this be occuring? It was fine up until a few weeks ago.
    thank you, J

    Your QuickTime 7 Pro registration will continue to work until QT 8 is installed. Any updates don't remove a version 7 key. The warning is for older Pro users.
    No answer to the "autoplay" problem. Maybe a corrupted .plist file.

  • I have Mac OS X 10.4.11. I keep getting a message that QuickTime plug in is out of date. I've done software updates and this hasn't resolved them warning. Any suggestions?

    I have Mac OS X 10.4.11 and use Firefox. I keep getting a message that QuickTime 7.6.6 plug in is out of date. I have done the software update and it shows no current updates available. Certain videos won't play and it says that this may make my computer vulnerable. Any suggestions?

    Are you using the lastest version of Firefox for os 10.4.11?  If you are, start using TenFourFox.  Quicktime works just fine with that browser.

  • Unable to uninstall QuickTime and Apple Software Update

    HELP US
    This is really screwed up. I got the notice to update to 10, ran the update, threw an error about looking for a file, quicktime.msi. Nowhere on my machine. I followed the troubleshooting tips. I am now unable to uninstall Quick Time, still looking for the quicktime.msi. Unable to uninstall the Apple Software Update, looks for applesoftware.msi. I spent 3 months moving my entire music directory to itunes, now I cannot update/add music to my wifes ipod, or my mother in laws ipod, both 8 gig and now I am not sure if I want to get the 32 gig ipod touch. When I try and download version 10, once again it looks for quicktime.msi, cannot find it, fails to install quicktime and of course itunes does noT install. Now what? anybody got a copy of the two .msi's?
    Is there anyone out there from apple to help us?

    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have 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 *Apple Software Update* and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (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.)

  • Quicktime 7.1.3 without Apple Software Update

    I am trying to setup an install of Quicktime 7.1.3 using Windows Installer switches (currently using /passive /qr /norestart) and am wondering if there is a way to do this so it will not install the Apple Software Update software. Can this be done easily? Is there a version of the install that will not do this?

    Running "check for updates" isn't finding anything -- I would have expected QT 7.5 to show up by now.
    Something I've noted on my XP SP3 box (with ASU 2.1.0.110 installed) is that if the latest version of iTunes is currently installed, then the QT 7.5 standalone option doesn't appear. If I uninstall my iTunes 7.6.2.9 and any existing QuickTime (have been doing a lot of that over the past few days checking on these things), and then run ASU, both the "iTunes + QuickTime" and "QuickTime 7.5" options appear.
    I haven't checked yet what happens if I uninstall iTunes, install a QuickTime 7.4.5, and then check to see what appears in ASU 2.10.110 when I check for updates when just an earlier version of QuickTime is installed on the PC. Will try to get to that a bit later in the day ...
