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

  • Camera Raw 5.7 Update will not install

    You can also install it manually.
    Be sure to have the latest download, then open the DMG file (should do so automatic) and grab the plug in file to drag it in the correct place.
    This is the path:
    Library (That is on root level, not your user account library!) / Application Support/ Adobe? Plug-ins / CS4 / File Formats.
    In this folder should only be one version present and it is called "Camera Raw.plugin" Under info it should say version 5.7.

  • Updates will not install using App Store on 10.7.5

    Updates will not install using the App Store.  I am using a MacBook Pro on 10.7.5.  When I click the button labeled "update" in App Store, the little wheel in the upper left-hand corner continues to spin forever (I waited 12 hours one time) but nothing happens.  No updates will install.  My Macbook Pro has always operated without issues since I bought it new in 2009, and I have a reliable, fast internet connection.

    Let's try a test here.

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

    my IOS7 update will not install.  It is telling me it is unavailable after it tries to install.

    Too many people trying across ITunes now.  Backup device, then disconnect it back update directly from the device.  I have complete two iPhones and two iPads.  Plan on about 15-30 minutes depending on your download speed.
    Good luck!

  • 2014-005 Security Update will not install

    2014-005 Security Update will not install "encountered unexpected error" message at end of install routine

    Thanks for the quick response.
    I had already done that when it didn't load install completely from the app store notice.  It goes all the way to the final part of the installation including moving things in place etc, but a the very last moment it says "Installation failure - An unexpected error has occurred. Contact your software vendor."
    I've never had any kind of situation like this with any installs, updates, or anything.  Everything else is completely up to date.  Steve.

  • The new ACR 5.5 update will not install in Elements 7.0

    Hello All:
    This situation is now becoming ridiculous (well, for me that is).  I just tried to install the new ACR 5.5 update and it is "unable to install" into Elements 7.0.  I downloaded the update several times, unzipped the install file, but when trying to install, it just gives me a message that it is unable to install and to hit the "quit" button.
    I have a Vista 64 Bit system with 12 Gigs of RAM.  I've installed Elements 7.0 and Lightroom 2.5 on my system - all with no problems.  For some reason, I could never get Photoshop CS-4 to install at all and I've been through the mill trying to install Photoshop - but nothing worked and had to eventually give up.  Trying to get Adobe support for CS installation on my 64 Bit system has been ridiculous in this regard as each and every time I called, I was connected with some techrep located in India who all they did was "parrot" back what I told them - how frustrating.  But as I mentioned, Elements 7.0 and Lightroom installed just fine.
    The previous ACR 5.4 installed just fine into Elements, but now...ACR 5.5 will not install.  It tells me that I do NOT have CS-4 installed so it cannot install.  What's up with that? Has Adobe stopped supporting the latest ACR upgrades for Elements?  What gives?
    Does anybody just have just the newest ACR 5.5 plug-in by itself that they can send me so I can just put it in my plug-ins folder (or a place where I can download it)?  Adobe used to just have the plug-in that you could unzip and copy and paste and put it into your plug-in folders - but not anymore.  Now they make it an 82 Meg install program and thus some of my problems.
    Can anybody help here?  Why does the install program look for CS-4, yet overlook Elements 7.0 completely.  Helpppppppppp.
    Ben

    Hi Benherrmann,
    Sorry to listen that you havent been able to install the Camera Raw 5.5 plugin.
    But as far as my knowledge goes for PSE, PSE never lists Camera Raw plugin for updates in the Updater Preferences dialog i.e., if you will launch Help->Check for updates, a updater window will open. If you will check the preferences of that updater dialog, it will tell you that it never checks for updates for Camera Raw plugin unlike what happens in Mac. In Mac Camera Raw updates does get installs just by installing PSE(v6 of course as there is no PSE7 for Mac. Hopefully there will be a v8 for Mac by the end of october as seen in the last release).
    Dont know exact reason why Adobe had configured it in that way? why there is some difference between Win and Mac.
    So it prompts me that somehow you need to install Ps CS4 on the machine to get the patch installation through updater. Although this is not Ps forum, would you mind telling what error/issues are you facing while installing Ps CS4?
    Regards,
    Ankush
