QuickTime Update Problem Source?

Upgraded to QT 7.1.3 today and now when I try duplicating a photo previsoulsy edited, iPhoto crashes.
If I "Revert to Original" before duplicating, no problem.
The only system change I made is the new QT; I was doing lots of duplicating and editing just last night with no problem.
Please advise.

Jim:
Did you repair disk permissions after running the updater? That should be standard practice. Also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This will make sure the iPhoto Library folder and contents are correct also. Disk Utility only works on items, usually system and applications, that have receipts placed in the HD/Library/Receipts folder as a result of the installation. User folders are not part of that repair. Thus the reason for BatChmod.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Safari and Quicktime Update Problem & Shut-Down Problem

Hi, recently my macbook ran the automatic software update. After I clicked the ''restart'', the installation was stuck (the blue bar never grew). Then I had to push the button to shut the machine down manually. Ever since then, the machine can never be shut down, except manual shutting-down.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks a lot!

Hm. I"m seeing the same problem. Will track replies to this message! Fingers crossed.

Problems with Quicktime update

I just downloaded the latest Quicktime Update and then opened FCP 5 on my PowerMac G5 with 4 GB of memory. I can't do anything. I have 80GB of space on my hard disk plus a couple of Firewire drives attached. If I click on Preferences and anything else on the menu bar it takes forever (I actually give up) before I'm given a drop down menu. Is this a Quicktime Problem?

Hmmm. I don't have an answer to that, but I just installed the latest Quicktime Update last night on my TiBook 1Ghz and after the restart my airport will no longer auto-connect to my wireless network. I have to connect manually now. I don't see how the two would be related, but that is the last thing I did before things went bad!
Any help would be appreciated.

Quicktime Update program problems

I am really not happy with the quicktime update installer... I am being told there is a new update for quicktime, but in reality the blasted thing is just installing iTunes back on to my computer. And I then have to spend an hour removing iTunes and returning to my preferred media player. And the next day I am getting informed about another update... And so far, none of these updates have changed my quicktime.
iTunes makes my computer system unstable, causes my system to slow down by 5 to 10% on benchmarks, and does not actually uninstall itself... (You would think an uninstaller would ACTUALLY remove the program, not just remove the option to uninstall from the add/remove programs list.)
I DO NOT want iTunes on my system. I do not like being forced to install software just to get a supposed update that does not exist. I have had trojans and adware installed on my system that was easier to remove then iTunes.
Can you fix the updater software to correct this?

. Windows XP Pro

Unfortunately they are not responsive to this issue... After all, who would not want their wonderful product on their system... I was told to just uninstall it, and that my problems with the uninstall program not working must be a fluke that only happens on my system.
It acts like a trojan, and I do not like being reminded every time I boot my system that their is an update to a program that I do not want installed.
And if I can not get a response from them, why not take it to a public forum and see if they can actually do something about it then.

Quicktime update fixes arrange

when expanding the arrange the playhead didn't stay at the same place.
i was working and in the meantime updating quicktime, after the restart the problem that is around since logic 8 is fixed.
now the playhead stays where it belongs.
great!!

that is freakin hilarious man,
actually after running updates on my machine, it shows as a macpro quad core with 3 TB hd space, and I noticed a emergence of Apogee Symphony rack in the corner of my room
just kiddin with you guys, I hope that you are right, but I doubt that the quicktime update has anything to do with anything.
cheers

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

The problem is with version 10.4.1. I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work. The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me. Here was their list of steps:
Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
2. Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
     a. iTunes
     b. QuickTime
     c. Apple Software Update
     d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
     e. Bonjour
     f. Apple Appllcation Support
3. Reboot PC
4. Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes. To correct this:
5. Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
6. Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
7. Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
8. Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date. It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
9. Reboot PC

QuickTime Update will not install

Hi All,
I ran software update on my 2.3GHz Mac Book Pro today. The OS security update installed just fine, but the QuickTime 7.4.1, ProKit 4.5 Update, and iTunes 7.6.1 will not install. All i get as an error is: "Sorry, An unexpected error occurred" It seems that this is QuickTime related as it seems to be the common thread among these updates (and the os update went though ok). Current QT is 7.4.0 (92).
I have repaired disk permissions and ran the repair disc function on my OS partition, but i didn't help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
My computer has Final Cut Studio 2, Adobe CS3 web, AE CS3, among other things.

I'm having a similar, but worse problem. The quicktime update crashed upon install, and now many of my programs don't work.
- Quicktime crashes when I click on it, telling me to update to a new version (more on that problem later)
- Windows Media Player gives me an error saying ""Windows Media Player" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "B<WindowsMediaPlayer><Apple;Carbon;Multimedia><CFMPriv_QuickTime>"
- Internet Explorer does the same shared library error
- World of Warcraft hangs the computer on a black screen when I try to launch it.
So, you might ask, why don't I just install the newest version of QT? I can't. When I try it through Software Update, it gets almost completely done, then says "sorry, an unexpected error has occurred. The installer has been moved to the trash. Please try again from the file."
If I move the installer out of the trash and try to install, it gets to 86% complete, then crashes and says "There was an error installing the software. Please try again."
If I download the installer directly from Apple's QuickTime site (and I'm installing the version for Tiger that is supposed to be good for OS 10.4.9 and above; I have 10.4.11, so in theory I should be good to go), the same error occurs.
So, not only can I not use QuickTime, but it appears as though substantial other portions of my computer are inoperable due to the botched software upgrade.
I, much like the original poster, would be greatly appreciative to hear any suggestions as to how to solve this problem.
Thanks

OS9 Quicktime update 4.1.2 error-- Pro Tools 5.1.1

I have a Pro Tools optimized OS9 G4 graphite (?) mac
When I try to open Pro Tools LE, I get an error message:
can not be opened because "Soundlib--SoundConverterFillBuffer" could not be found.
After googling this error message, on an Avid Forum, I found that it refers to a Quicktime 4.1.2 update that must be made before Pro Tools LE 5.1.1 can run on OS9:
http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=23094
Ok, so, I downloaded the Quicktime update onto my MacBook laptop USB-stick, then tried to install on my OS9 G4-- but to no avail-- when trying to install, I get the following error message:
"Quicktime Installer" could not be opened because an error type -39 occurred.
I'm not finding anything useful on Google in regard to this "error type -39"
I'd be eternally grateful if anyone here has any ideas on what I might try to remedy the above problems.
A "friend" gave me this G4 to use for a inexpensive recording device-- he told me "it worked." Maybe he was wrong, or didnt wanna admit that it had this problem (?) Or maybe its something simple that anyone familiar with OS9 would know about-- I've never worked much on one of these os9 macs...

That error is often caused by Stuffit Expander intruding where it should not, particularly when the download is in a .smi (self-mounting image) format, a format generated by Apple's Disk Copy. Stuffit Expander has ShrinkWrap technology built-in, which allows it to mount some kinds of disk images - but not .smi ones. Yet ShrinkWrap tries to - hence the error message.
The solution - double-click Stuffit Expander, and open its Preferences (under the File menu). Select "Disk Images" from the list on the left, then turn off (uncheck) "Mount Disk Images". Quit Stuffit Expander.

A Very Strange Post Update Problem

Hi guys, new to the forum here, wondering if I could get some help with a most disturbing problem...
Off the bat, I use a ppc Mac G5 running 10.4.11. I use this for Music production, and general music listening in my studio. For Audio I use pro tools HD 7.3 (as well as logic 8), with a digidesign 192 IO interface, and run most ofmy audio thru that. Now that we have that out the way... I normally dont agree to updates, as I would not like to upset a balance thats been working perfectly for me for some time, but 2 days ago, one of my assistants was using the computer and agreed to the latest update for Itunes, quicktime, and logic (but not the security update). Immedietly after the update finished (during which he said the quicktime update crashed), the system started going haywire, pro tools was shutting down, itunes wouldn't open, the like... Well after uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and quicktime, all order was restored, except for one AWFUL problem.. the sound coming out of any program BESIDES pro tools (itunes, logic, toast) is very strange, as if its coming thru very cheap speakers. I've run itunes through both the digi interface and the standard sound card (it has the same problem), and checked the EQ settings (flat), my sample and bit rates are straight... I have no idea! if anyone could offer some insight, It would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
It's possible there's an underlying problem with your hard drive.
Insert the installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
Also, make sure you have sufficient drive space. Control or right click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop. Click "Get Info". Under the General tab you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is at least 10% available disk space, 15% is better.
If the drive appears to be ok and you have enough available disk space, you could try the 10.4.11 combo update available here. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
Make sure and run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions BEFORE and AFTER the installation.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

File vault home folder becomes ejectable after QuickTime update

I have two user personalities on my Mac - an administrator and a normal user.
The normal user has an encrypted home directory using FileVault.
I just installed Apple's 9/9/08 QuickTime update and the updater seems to have destroyed a few things. I ran the update from inside the user personality, typing in the admin password.
After the restart, my home folder is now ejectable. That was the first curious sign.
Also, no browser other than Safari works any more. I also have Camino and Firefox on this machine and both can no longer be started. This seems to be related to the QuickTime updater and I assume it is related to running the updater from a non-admin account...
So how do I get my system back to normal? It is very puzzling and potentially dangerous having the "eject" button next to your home directory....
Michael

looks like you have a number of problems. the best would be to restore your system from a backup to a point before the update. if you don't have a backup you should first of all start backing up. no idea what's wrong with your browsers but for the filevault I would first restart and see if the problem remains. if it does I would try turning filevault off/on. You need quite a bit of free space to do it - at least as much as your home directory holds and then some.

After downloading latest quicktime update, itunes store will not load

Has anyone had this same problem after downloading latest quicktime update. iTunes store will not load.

This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes. I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

Can Quicktime Updates interfere with saved iMovie projects?

Hello.
I'm just about to do an update to the latest Quicktime and I wondered if these updates can cause any problems with iMovie projects that have been made and saved on my computer with older Quicktime versions?
Thanks
Rich

Thanks Bengt,
But how about after a project is fully completed and burned to DVD but still remaining stored on the computer as a final iMovie project. In case you want to burn it again or just play it on the computer, will that original iMovie on the computer be confused by a newer Quicktime Update? I have all mine still saved as both disc images and also the original project. I know a disc image will not be affected but I was curious about the original project?

Can Not download itune/quicktime updates. Lost my playlist and half the songs?

I have a 2nd generation Shuffle that works great. Went to download and Itunes/quicktime update from Apple. Got a message saying part of the system needed for the upgard was missing. When I went to my Itunes my playlist was gone. There was a bunch of blank floders. No way to sync the player wihthe computer or download new songs. All I can to is charge my shuffle. Tried to delete and reload Itunes with no luck. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
