  • Quicktime won't update, itunes won't open...having no luck :(

    I'm getting an error message when I try to download the current quicktime. iTunes won't open without it. The error message is below:
    It says "Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
    I tried a link that was posted in another discussion about manually editing the registry and it did not change anything. I still get the same error message. I've actually looked over quite a few suggestions in other discussions (like deleting quicktime all over the place and trying to reinstall it) and nothing seems to work. I finally was able to get the newest version of itunes downloaded. However, when I go to launch itunes it will not open b/c it says that i need the newest version of quicktime (which i cannot download). When I try to download it via standalone, it gives me a new error message similar to the original except now the location is QuickTime.QuickTime rather than QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp. Before I uninstalled QT, I was able to edit the registry for the QT Player LIb and App. Since they did nothing I unistalled it again. However, after I uninstalled it, (and reinstalled just itunes which it finally updated) I tried to reinstall and it would not install because the new error message is the most resent one above... in the registry it will not let me change/save any permissions changes to QuickTime.QuickTime. I've again tried to uninstall it but now QT isn't there at all. I've been at this thing for a week and nothing seems to be working... any suggestions? I would love help!!!!
    Oh, and I don't know if this will help at all, but I have an ipod mini from like 2003... when I couldn't get itunes to update at all to the current version I decided to uninstall itunes and my ipod mini... so then i had to reinstall my ipod with the cd software that came with it which also installed itunes... it worked fine and would open... then I tried to update itunes again and somehow i managed to get it to update itunes... however, when i go to launch itunes it won't let me b/c of the version of quicktimes i currently have. Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Quicktime won't update, install, or delete??????

    Hi,
    My PC is running XP and refuses to update Quicktime. When I try to install Quicktime 7, it gets almost all the way done, and then says, "The wizard was interrupted before Quicktime could be completely installed". I have deleted the registry keys for Quicktime, but when I restart, the Quicktime icon pops up in the system tray. How can this be?
    So, what do I do? It appears that I cannot run it, or delete it, or update it????????

  • My QuickTime won't update

    A couple months ago my QuickTime stopped updating, at the time it was no big deal i don't use it for anything important, so when it would update with itunes i'd just not update quicktime and take the itunes update. The error I get says The feature you are trying to use is on a network or resource that is unavailable. It's looking for Quick Time.msi and then there's a dropdown with a Browse button. I have an adobe product to install and it won't install because my quicktime needs to have updated version. I've used the browse to go where my quicktime is installed but none of the folders there will take the update either. When i try to uninstall it says there has to be a program there to uninstall... yet I can double click the quicktime icon on my desktop and start quicktime.. Help i'm chasing my tail

  • I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 . My plugins view tells me I'm at risk and need to update but try as I might, it won't take. I consider myself and above average Mac User. Please advise. Thank you

    for some inexplicable reason, I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 . My plugins view tells me I'm at risk and need to update but try as I might, through all the known update avenues, it won't take. I consider myself and above average Mac User. Please advise.

    Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
    Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
    Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
    In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

  • Quicktime 7.2 update status?

  • ITunes won't update, unistall or re-install.

    iTunes won't update or unistall. When I try, it says the installer source doesn't exist. When I tried to just reinstall it fresh, it says the old versions of Bonjour, iTunes and Quicktime can't be removed. Any solution for any of this?

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has 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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeksare worth checking.)
    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 anyiTunes, QuickTime and Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Quicktime won't work on my new iMac?

    Hi all,
    I've just got myself a new iMac, did a migration of all the stuff of my old Powerbook G4 and now Quicktime won't work!!
    I had a Pro version of QT 7 but now it states I just have the free version! I did a software update and it told me to update QT, I tried but software update kept telling me that it cannot save the QT update. So in my frustration I deleted QT and decided to download it directly off the Apple site....it downloaded and then stated it can't mount the disk image...what on earth is going on, can anyone help?
    Thanks

    You must purchase a new QT key for each computer.
    Since you have a new iMac, you are entitled to 90 days of FREE phone tech support from Apple and you can use the Chat with a Support Agent. The online chat support _*is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.*_

  • ICal won't update

    All of a sudden iCal won't update my previously-published calendars -- which are hosted in my .mac account. I changed nothing; the problem started yesterday, before I had installed the recent updates and patches to QuickTime and the OS. Also, my iDisk is suddenly inaccessible. Is this a server-side problem of some sort?
    I have already repaired permissions, restarted, and done all of the usual stuff.

    Well, now everything seems to be working, so I suppose it was some kind of server-side issue.

  • Playsists selected for syncing no longer exist? ipod won't update

    My new ipod won't update because it says that playlists I've selected for syncing no longer exist. For this reason I can't get any of my music onto my ipod and I don't understand what I am supposed to do to fix this
    dell inspiron   Windows XP  

    Hi guys, I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I try to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod I get the following error message: "Songs in the iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I did some searching around at this site, and found that one possible problem is that my library is larger than my iPod's capacity, so I have to eliminate some songs. I did this, but I still get the same error message.

  • Certain apps won't update or download on any device.

    I've searched for two weeks to no avail. I've seen similar problems posted but nothing quite like this. I have an iPhone 5s iOS 8.2, a 4th Gen iPad iOS 8.2 and Mac Mini Late 2014 OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. It all started with wanted to download the Pages app. My iPad is old enough it wouldn't let me download it for free so I initiated the download on my iPhone and then promptly cancelled. I then tried to download Pages from "the cloud" onto my iPad. It downloaded 3/4 of the way and failed stated that the app could not be downloaded at this time with two options to continue: done and retry. And now there are a handful of apps that will fail somewhere in the download and some apps that are already installed on the devices that won't update. Any app that has previously failed WILL download over cellular network on the iPhone 5s. I've tried four separate location with WIFI access and these same apps will not download. I've cleared network statistics, restored the iPhone to factory defaults, changed Apple ID password, tried a different Apple ID, and trying to download apps on Mac Mini to sync to iPhone/iPad over tethered connection. The only partial fix I have discovered is to start download over cellular network and switch to WIFI download. Please... any ideas. I feel I may have left out some steps I might have taken so please feel free to ask any questions.

    I had this problem and solved it by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
    Note: This will not delete any apps, songs, videos, or podcasts from your phone. It will only reset your wallpapers, brightness, bluetooth, contact sorting, network preferences (still remembers networks though), etc.  It's a bit annoying to go update all these back to how yo like, but much less annoying than a full restore.
    DO NOT press Erase All Content and Settings. This will delete everything and you'll have to restore from iTunes.

  • IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

    HELP!
    I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010.  From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it.  After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy.  I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
    1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
            (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
    2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
    3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder.  When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
            photos.
    4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
    5.     Programs won't update.  They will download onto my iMac but won't update.  Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
            Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns.  Skype won't open just gives a failure
            report.
    6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
    7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
    8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
    9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
    10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
    I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something.  Or I have something malicious on my computer.
    I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive.  A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
    And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
    Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
    Thanks so much.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    *Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
    Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
    Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
    The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

    I have changed the I phone 5 twice both times like for like & still problem is they're
    Please can anyone advise or help
    Very much appreciated  

    If you are using the same apple id on other devices and each of the other devices are updating the same apps sucessfully then you have an issue going on with the device being what's known as being a bit 'glitchy' What I would suggest you do is first to shut down the device completely by simply pressing on the sleep wake button, (power button on the top) for a period of 5-6 seconds untill you get the message to slide bar to shut down. Once the device is shut down and the wheel has stopped spinning, you are then free to restart the device.
    Once the device is restarted then please go to settings>itunes and app store Once at this area of settings you can then click on the apple id is showing there you then can click on the apple id going to where it reads sign out, Once you've signed out go right back to that same area and sign back in with the same apple id.
    What this is doing is simply logging you out and then back in with the same device.
    Good luck Friend.
