Quicktime/Various program errors?

Hi all,
we recently updated to Leapard and have run into various software conflicts.
The main problem I need help solving is with Quicktime. We use Quicktime Pro to record video and audio from a live event. We have had the problem the last two weeks where we will open Quicktime and, for some unbeknownst reason, it will be unresponsive. Force Quitting does nothing, and it appears that the program stays open, but when you try to click on any of the menus they do not open. The only remedy is to restart the computer, to which we never know if the problem will reappear or even WHEN it will reappear. The computer we are using is actually a MacBook Pro with the Intel Processor (sorry, don't have the exact details in front of me).
Our Leapard software has all of the updates, and we never had this problem on Tiger. Is this a software conflict, and how can we fix it?
I've noticed other programs doing quirky things... IE, Photoshop CS3 won't allow me to scroll through my fonts box with the arrow keys, or I can type in the text size box to change my font size, but nothing will change.
Any help?

These software conflicts could be due to some inconsistency the Leopard upgrade caused in the System folder. Doing a clean "Archive & Install" of Leopard will probably fix your problems.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

I tried installing an update to QuickTime. An error occurred and it wouldn't install. I tried removing the QuickTime program, but a window appeared telling me that a fatal error ccurred during installation and I could not remove the program. Now what?

I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Picasa corrupts IPTC, Photoshop Program Error when saving

I am having a problem editing some JPGs in Photoshop. Some JPGs will open fine, but I can't save them. I get the error that Photoshop can not continue because of a program error (very generic error if ever there was one). After several hours researching, I've come to the conclusion that some IPTC data is "corrupt" (actually, "problematic" is probably a better word). Experimenting with some different files, I've figured out the common attribute amongst the files that won't save: I adjusted the date and time on them usng Google Picasa.
How do I fix this?
Note: reinstalling Photoshop, deleting preferences, rebooting, etc... are not valid suggestions (also, I've already tried all that). There is no problem with my system, it's definitely some type of incompatability between Picasa and Photoshop. In the future, I won't use Picasa to modify meta data, but for now, I have photos from 2 separate trips that I'd like to edit and can't.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, this has been driving me crazy!
Additional info:
I'm using CS4. The problem occurs in both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of the software. In addition to being unable to save, I am also unable to open up the File Info dialog box. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit on a quad core with 4 GB of RAM. I have plenty of free harddrive space. I have the Production Premium CS4 suite installed and no other Adobe software installed (well, other than Acrobat Reader and Flash Player).

Hi Paul. I noticed this in the documentation for exiftools, which I suspect maybe related to the problem:
Commonly, in JPEG images, the DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate and
ModifyDate values must all be changed. For convenience, a shortcut tag
called AllDates has been defined to represent these three tags.
So I ran the following command:
exiftool "-AllDates-=0:0:0 0:0:1" *.jpg
But all that did was shift all the dates by 1 second, the various fields still don't match. Do you know the syntax to update all the date fields to match? Right now according to Picasa the "Camera Date" and "File Date" match and are correct, "Digitized Date" and "Modified Date" are off by an hour.

Program Error after recent itunes update - please help

I recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Now it won't open. I have been through the revcommended options and still no joy.
The Program Error states "iTunes.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created."
I have removed the programs and reinstalled them as recommended and Still nothing! (I think ) I subsequently lost also my Pro version of Quick Time which I paid for.
I cant up date my iPod.
Please can you help me out?
It was working fine before upgrade...

Help - iTunes V4.8 'Program Error' at end of install.

Please can anyone help with this CD installation failure of itunes only (without ipod connected):
The installation of quicktime seems ok then iTunes, but on completion a window opens stating 'Program error, iTunes will close.. an error log was created'. No associated error number is displayed and I can't find the error log. At the same time the folder System32 opens. The Installation wizard says everything worked ok but if I then run iTunes the same 'program error..' window appears.
Thanks in advance.

hi BB!
hmmmm. that's an unusual sort of error message.
let's first try taking any CD-drive complications out of the loop. download and save to your hard drive a fresh copy of the itunes installer from the apple website. (we'll run the install from there rather than on-line.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
try switching off all background applications prior to the install too (if possible, disconnect from the internet first):

do you still get the same error then?
keep us posted.

PS c24 won't open any psd files - program error

my system:
I'm running photoshop c24 extended. I've got an iMac running osx v.10.5.6, 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo, and have 2gb SDRAM
This morning (29/01/09) I installed a software updates - the iLife media browser update, iDVD update, Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update and Quicktime update. After starting my computer back up I have not been able to open any psd files in photoshop. Jpgs open all right and I am able to create new files. But, anytime that I try to open and existing psd file, it opens up and then I immediately get the following message:
"could not complete your request because of a program error."
If I click ok, the same message pops up again and again, essentially freezing up photoshop and forcing me to force quit the app.
I've tried opening up the same psd files on my laptop and they open just fine. I also tried going back into time machine to retrieve earlier versions in case the psd files I was working with in case they had been corrupted. Nothing has worked... seems to be photoshop not the files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I tried doing the "repair permissions" thing and at first I thought it worked - I was able to open a few psd files. Then I started getting the same problem again.
I don't think ilife installed any fonts - but when I tried to open a different file just now i got a message about some corrupt font files which i didn't get earlier. So I just ran a check with fontBook on all my fonts - got rid of 5 corrupt fonts and about 50 duplicate fonts.
I'm hesitantly optimistic in saying that I think that solved the problem!
thanks for the help!

Item does not match schdule line ( program error ) message no . V1427

*Item does not match schdule line ( program error ) message no . V1427 .* This is the message I am getting when I am trying to display a quotation through VA23 . From here system exits the transaction .
As per my observation , when I compared VBAP and VBEP tables, there are 2 items in VBEP table with schedule lines but the same items are not present in VBAP table. User says he tried to delete these items because there is no quanity , Inspite of that these items appear in VBEP table .
The document is a reservation document where in schedule line category does TOR and availability check.
I checked various related notes - 442831 , 401463 , 389687 etc . These are quite old notes and I am in release ECC 5.0 .
What is the best way as this doc has nearly 30 items and nearly all of them have quanity confirmed .
Please provide your valuble inputs ...
Regards
Raghav..

Nitin,
Below are the steps to check
Transaction SE18
Definition name: BADI_SD_SALES
Menu: Implementation -> Overview
double-click on implementation: IM_CORE_CHECK
Now you will get an overview on the methods.
check whether implementation IM_CORE_CHECK is active or not.
If not Press the change button and activate
looking at the your system pack level this should be active. If it is active then the inconsistency must be modified directly at database level through Z report.

Item does not match schedule line (program error) in sap

Dear Expert.
Greetings!
We are currently facing with this error (V1 427 item does not match schedule line (program error) in sap), when we open the sales order(VA02/03).
The error is occurring due inconsistency on the database tables, some Item is in table VBEP, but it is missing from table VBAP. This is what is causing the error message.
I checked various related notes - 442831 , 401463 , 389687 etc . These are quite old notes and I am in release ECC 6.0 .
Report SD_CONSISTENT_CHECK_EXT and SD_CONSISTENT_CHECK are already available.
Bapi BAPI_SD_SALES is also active.
Please let me know if anybody has any idea on the same.
regards
Praveen

Hi,
Refer the KBA: 1464620 - Error V1427: Item does not match schedule line which explains the reason and the solution for the issue.

'cannot complete your request - program error' and/or 'this app has been moved'

Does anyone recognize this issue: I want to override the default app used in opening a particular file on the finder, using the contextual menu under the control key and choosing PSD CS3; these days, I get an error message saying the app was moved and repairs must be made. Whether I cancel or not, it launches what appears to be a collateral version of PSD CS3 and opens the file. That can't be good....
Additionally, I keep getting errors: "cannot complete your request because of a program error....." increasingly more frequent.......
I would be most grateful for any ideas!

I just found this on an old OSXhints page from 2003:
"I posted this on the Adobe Photoshop Support forum but am posting it here, too. The original idea for the solution was taken from a hint on this site so, in effect, the hint belongs here. I solved a problem with a Photoshop 7 install running under OS X 10.3 (Panther) on a new PowerBook G4 15." I expect that this experience should apply to any Panther install and should not be specific to PowerBooks.
Problem:Files not owned by Photoshop (generic JPEGs, GIFs, Adobe Illustrator files, etc.) will not open. Photoshop will go through the motion of opening the file (e.g. display the Profile dialog or, in the case of Illustrator files, display the Rasterization Settings dialog) but will fail to open the file and display a dialog stating that the file cannot be opened due to a "Program Error". Files are opened by several means: Via the application's "Open" command, drag-and-dropped onto the Dock icon, and Control-Click then Open-With in the Finder.
Files that are owned by Photoshop open fine. By "owned" I do not mean in the Unix permissions sense but in the owner application sense, i.e., if Get Info on the file the application listed under "Kind" is Photoshop. The problem files previously worked with this installation of Photoshop and the user reported that "This just started happening." No OS updates or software installs had occured before onset of the problem.
Other Adobe applications work fine, as do all other applications in general on this machine. File corruption and/or disk problems were not expected given the age of the machine and the amount of use it has had since first-use. These files are all maintained locally on the machine as the user normally works in a stand-alone environment.
I created a new user on this machine and logged in as that user. In this user account, Photoshop behaves correctly, implying that the problem is user-specific which indicts preference files as opposed to something systemic or application-specific. I deleted all Photoshop preference files I could find in ~username/Library but this did not solve the problem. The "Fast User Switching" was a great help in this process since I could very quickly switch back-and-forth between accounts as I tested various corrective actions.
Solution:I renamed the Library folder of the problem user account to "Library Old". Any name will work as long as it is different from "Library". Logged-out and logged-in, and the system re-created the Library folder. At this point, the account had lost almost all personalization and/or configuration settings, but Photoshop's operation was restored to normal. After verifying Photoshop's operation, I rebuilt all the lost personalization/configuration from notes, etc.
I found this hint on macosxhints.com. The hint did not apply to Photoshop but more generally directed to preference-related problems that could not be resolved by removing/replacing the application's preference files."

Programming error in HH2 software: Dynamic DNS

Advanced Settings >>Broadband >> Dynamic DNS
When you try to add multiple hosts the behaviour is very erratic.
I am testing some websites I am building and need to have 3 host names in the list of multiple hosts.
The first two went in OK ... after some funny behaviour.
They have been working fine for months: keeping DynDNS informed of changing IP addresses whenever I restart my HH2.
But the third one ...
I can add it to the list of supported hosts successfully ... for a mo ... by using the text field under "hosts supported".
It gets added to the list but then it disappears as soon as the "Apply" button is clicked.
At the same time the HH2 admin program won't forget an old hostname in the "Host" text field which I have not been using for weeks; have deleted from the list of multiple hosts and have deleted from my DynDNS account.
The routing via DynDNS works fine for all 3 current hostnames, but I just can't get the HH2 to accept the third one which means that when I next restart my HH2 I'll have to go to DynDNS website and update the IP address of the 3rd host myself manually.
I've tried every thing I can think of; also tried it in several browsers: Safari, Firefox, Opera and IE8; emptying browser cache. Finally concluded that there is a programming error in the hub software (Software version 8.1.H.J - Type A) on this page.
Shame ... in all other respects the HH2 is truly a brilliant piece of equipment.

I have tried that already, as well, and it did not work. However, the error message now tells me that the cabinet file "iTunes.cab" (rather than "QuickTime.cab" as it did before) required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, and error from reading the CD-ROM, or a problem with the package.

Quicktime 6 MP3 error

Hello,
An old bandmate of mine sent me a CD where he had collected all of our old very bad recordings and somehow made an audio disk. Quite a few of the recordings are two and three songs together so I created MP3s of them using iTunes and then went to trim them into separate songs using Quicktime 6. Unfortunately I get a window saying there is a program error when I try to export the new trimmed single song to an MP3.
Any ideas?

Is that Quicktime Pro you are using? The non-upgrade version is pretty limited to what it will do.
I am also wondering if the method you use is doing recoding which will involve more quality loss. I don't think Quicktime does mp3s without converting to its own format first.
I use a utility called [mp3Trimmer|http://www.deepniner.net/mp3trimmer> for splitting mp3s without quality loss. I know there was an OS9 version (I may still have it) but I cannot see it on the author's web site. You could write him and ask.

Various programs crash after upgrade to 10.6.4

Various programs crash after upgrade to 10.6.4 but only late in the day / evening. There seem to be no crashes early in the day.
After a reboot the problem is fixed and things seem to work OK.
Might this be some kind of memory-related issues?? Programs not releasing memory until eventually there's nothing left?
I'm a Windows guy until recently so am not up to speed with Mac software / hardware yet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi, I am facing major instability in MS Office for Mac 2008 after the 10.6.4 upgrade. Programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), just crash randomly. Mostly when opening existing Office documents but there is no fixed pattern.

Error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

Photoshop CS2 (program error msg)... Help please!!

I have installed the full creative suite 2 on my new iMac. everything works fine except photoshop?!!?
Illustrator works great, In-Design works great, But when i try to open a file or create a new page in PS it tells me "Could not create document because of a program error"???? ***?
I had a previous version of CS and it worked fine for one day, then that started happening. I installed the CS2 trial version, and it would still give me the same error msg. I erased everything and installed the new CS2 (photoshop, illustrator , in-design and acrobat). It still gives me the same darn msg.???
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks

See the Adobe Knowledge Base document"Error 'Could not complete your request...' or 'Could not create a new document...' (Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X v10.4)"
I suggest whenever you have problems with third-party applications, the first place to start troubleshooting is with the application's documentation, then vendor's web site. Usually their sites have FAQs, lists of known bugs, or application-specific forums similar to these Discussions. Sometimes, unlike the Apple Discussions, the questions are even answered by employees of the vendor.
The document cited above was found in 10 seconds by searching the Adobe support site.
Good luck!
