Quicktime Will not work

Hi, I recently got Photoshop CS3 which requires Quicktime for video editing. So, I instaled quicktime but when I tried to run it, a window popped up saying that 'quicktime has stoped working'. It never realy opened, though. I've tried re-installing it a bunch of times, repairing it, completely removing it and puting it back on, and it always says its installed just fine. but then it will not run. An alert always just pops up saying 'quicktime has stpped working'. I would really greatly appreciate it if you could help.

i just figured it out. i was on myspace and i right clicked and went to plug-in setting and looked under browser and i clicked on MiMe setting and then i clicked on use defaults and that worked

Quicktime will not work and / or install

I am having video conversion problems. My Final Cut Express video will not convert to Quicktime.
When I click my Quicktime icon to open it gives me a question mark.
When I try to install new Quicktime download it doesn't install and gives me the question mark again.

ITunes and QuickTime will not work..Yeah, another one

Despite my best efforts to try to solve my problem on my own and not both you kind people, I've been working on and off at trying to get my iTunes working, with no positive results at all. It's honestly been so long, I don't recall what might have sparked the issues, but every time I try to open iTunes or QuickTime they will begin to open but fail, bringing up the common windows error message:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
So far, I have totally deleted both iTunes and QuickTime twice from my computer- first just through Add/Remove Programs pathways, then more in depth with Registry Crawler to try to remove any traces of the programs- all before re-installing the two programs. Both times have failed, still leaving me unable to open either program, so I've broken down and come here- hoping to find anyone willing to lend a hand to help fix this issue so that I can finally listen to my music the way I used to.

Perfect information, thanks.
That combination is almost always caused by some application stashing old QuickTime componentry down in your system files. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects, although some Games might do it too.)
Let's go looking for the old stuff.
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.)

Quicktime will not work in Windows

For the past few months, I've experienced trouble with Quicktime. I would try to view a video on Apples website, and it would fizz out like a bad tv broadcast, then lockup saying there was an error, report, blah blah. I figured it was Apples website. Well today I tried to install a Total Training video, and when it searched for Quicktime, I got the same error, the program install locked up, and asked me to report the error, etc. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no luck. Please help!

Lets do a few things.
1. Update QuickTime. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
2. Open up QuickTime player.
3. Click on Edit> QuickTime Preferences>Advanced.
4. In the center of this section there is a "Video" section select Safe Mode.
5. Click on Ok and go ahead and close out of QuickTime.
I have also noted that there are SEVERAL bugs with QuickTime and Nvidia Chips.
A few things I suggest you do is to update all of your drivers, and install any pending Windows Updates.
Please post if this worked for you.

Update OSX 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2 Quicktime will not work anymore

After updating to osx 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2, Quicktime crashes everytimee it is opened. Safari crashes when any page containing a quicktime movie is open and system preferences crashes when trying to access the quicktime preferences.
The only time Quicktime has worked is when I booted in Safeboot. I previously had quicktime pro and the crash logs seem to indicate a crash when trying to license quicktime. I have trashed all preferences related to quicktime, run disk utility and applejack. removed all 3rd party extensions and statup items, and tried to delete the registration number for quicktime but it kept resetting itself to automatic. No avail.
Other programs I have installed on this computer are Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, and Kona2, and ajaIO.
Any suggestions on getting quicktime to run again.

hi chica chic--
what kind of install did you do? did you archive, or erase and install? was the screen problem there the second time before you did the update?? i would run the apple hardware test to see what it says. you can do this by putting in your install dvd for tiger and starting up holding the d key. take the full test instead of quick test. i would also try resetting the pmu on your macbook pro. this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 describes the procedure and gives some info about it. best of luck.

Since mistakenly upgrading Quicktime and I Tunes will not work.

Unfortunately my amd 2700 Windows XP will not take the Service Pack 2 upgrade for whatever reason. It still functions okay, but I mistakenly upgraded my Quicktime along with I Tunes and it will not work. I later read minimum requirements on Apple's site having Service Pack 2 is required. Now I'm frustrated because I can't find an earlier version of either program to download. Unless I buy another computer I'm stuck.

I tried MS for support on SP2, but only found 2 free emails if you had the product ID or it was loaded on the computer. Since I can't load it I can't email or call them. My computer was put together by a computer business so I really can't go back to them since it is not a name brand and it has been at least four years. I am still stuck on what to do. I tried to restore to before the updating of I Tunes, but MS would not let me do that.

hiya!
I get the itunes has encounterd a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience error, no specific error number. I do not have QT installed,
not having QT installed is what will be causing your itunes error message at the moment. let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 install.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

ITunes and Quicktime will not load

Hi, when i try and load my iTunes, it will not load. It has been working fine for months, but has recently stopped!
When i try and load iTunes, i am given the standard Windows "iTunes has encountered a problem" screen with the error message of:
Error Signature
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer: 6.0.0.3
ModName: quicktimeStreamingAuthoring.QTX
ModVer: 7.0.3.50
OffSet: 00016cb9
So i "Repaired" iTunes, which didnt fix the problem, i uninstalled it, which also didnt fix it.
Then i decided to try and uninstall Quicktime, due to it being the root of the problem, and i was greeted with this error:
Error Description
DLL function call crashed
QTInstallCode.QuickTimeUninstallPrc
Any ideas on what is the problem, and how to fix it?! Because i cannot install a new quicktime whilst this one is still on my computer, and i cant get it off!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Matt

Okay... I'm waiting for this answer too!! Exact problem...was working fine now I get the "Itunes has encountered a problem...." I attempted to run Quicktime (it is needed, I understand) but now it will not run. I uninstalled all (could not even find Quicktime) and attempted to reinstall. Itunes apparently reinstalled but Quicktime will not... and now nothing is running.

Adobe photoshop elements 13 trial version will not work on windows XP. Does this mean that if I purchase the full version, this also will not work on XP?

I have Photoshop Elements 12 and want to try version 13 before I buy. However, when I tried to download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 13, I was informed that it isa not available on Windows XP. Does this mean that if I buy the full version, it will not work on Windows XP?

Yes, if the system requirements do not include XP then an XP machine will not be able to use it.

Itunes or quicktime will not open

I just purchased ipod and I downloaded itunes. at first it worked correctly, then it stopped opening and quicktime will not open either. I have tried re-installing numerous times to no avail. All the error message says unknown error send or don't send to MS. I am starting to get frustrated over this. It has taken up so much time. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME????

Hi Dave. Many thanks for your response. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstalled them and now I can open iTunes. I now have another problem. The music that is on my iPhone that was imported from my iTunes prior to resetting my Mac seems to be unavailable for me to play. It doesn't show up on my iPhone when it's not connected. But when I connect it to my Mac all the songs show up under the music tab of my iPhone but they are all light grey and when I click one an exclamation mark appears next to it. I've tried authorizing my account but that doesn't do anything.
If you have any idea what the problem could be I would really gratefull.

ITunes 6 will not work

I have tried it all
every support option every re-install everything but iTunes 6 will just not work on my computer
any suggestions would be great!

hi paul!
Additionally quicktime will not run when i attempt to open it.
i think your intuitions are right here. a broken QT will cause these "itunes has encountered an error ..." messages on launch.
let's try a careful standalone QT 7.0.3 reinstall again.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.3 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) let's also switch off any antivirus and antispyware software prior to the install.

does that install go through okay? will itunes launch properly after that?
keep us posted.

URGENT: Sorry, Expander will not work without the Stuffit Engine...

hallo,
I want to watch a show of myself on Time Warner Cable TODAY live ONLINE while being in Europe, so it is urgent:
sometimes when I try to install a software I get the following error message:
'Sorry, Expander will not work without the Stuffit Engine. Please reinstall the original installer.'
Just now I wanted to install 'Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X' and got that error message. Any suggestions?
THANKS YOU!
1 GHz PowerPC G4 (3.3) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

"Any suggestions? "
Obviously you need to reinstall Stuffit Expander. Download it from Stuffit.com.
Also, forget about Windows Media Player. It's out dated, and not even made anymore. Download the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin from Flip4Mac.com
Hope that was urgent enough...

Quicktime Plugin not working in Browers

Hello,
I am having a frustrating problem with my quicktime plugin not working in BOTH Safari and Firefox. When I try to watch my a quicktime link on the web I cannot view it, I get the quicktime icon with the question mark. However, when I log in as a different user and goto the same link I can view the movie. I believe the movie is a mp4.
I have already deleted my quicktime preferences and also tried to boot up in 32 bit mode.
Any suggestions to what may cause this? This must be something that is specific to my user. I have also removed perian and deleted perian preferences.
Please Help!
Running
Mac OSX
10.7.2

I have scoured the internet looking for a way to play MP3 files right in the browser window and have come up with nothing. Firefox does not let me set MP3 files to play with the QuickTime Plugin but instead I can only have them play in iTunes or QuickTime after a download. Pretty much same with Chrome and Safari. Neither will let me just play the MP3 right in the browser. Please help!
