Rosetta no longer functions after iTunes & Quicktime update

I got off the 3rd phone call to AppleCare (three techs and product specialist -- the least helpful in the bunch by the way) and finally isolated the problem I'm having but the reaction from the AppleCare guy (the last one pretty much freaked) means there is little hope for a quick solution from Apple.
After updating iTunes and Quicktime using OSX software update. I could no longer launch legacy apps that operate using rosetta (i.e MS Office, AppleWorks, JMP, etc.). Additionally, if I go into GetInfo from the finder and click "Open using Rosetta" that app will no longer launch. In both cases the app simply (if clicked from the finder) appears briefly in the dock and then disappears.
When I had AppleCare on the line the guy went to confirm something with me on his machine and was very surprised to find that his copy of MS Word was not working either (his word were something like: "Good Lord, the menus are all grayed out, huh?". At which point I decided there was not going to be a fix. He sent me some articles on Archive and Install, which I may do but I'm hoping not to go that route.
I've got one more symptom that may help others figure out what's happening, which will hopefully mean you can help me fix this:
When I try and launch an app (legacy or universal) from the command line using rosetta (see this for more info) I get: Segmentation fault!
Okay, first would someone out there confirm that this is not happening on their system. Then, one of you brilliant souls, let me know what I can do to fix it. Is there a sneaky way I could bust into a package/install image and install a fresh copy of the rosetta libraries etc? My experience with Segmentation Fault usually points to the executable being broken, but I'm by no stretch of the imagination an expert.
Regards,
David G.

You won't like this but I figured out QT smashed rosetta soon after installing the ituunes/quicktime updates when quicken wouldn't load...i knew it was one of the major apps that was never released for universal...at first i assumed the apple update had just broken quicken and checked the quicken site, finding no posts...then it dawned on me that the QT update must have damaged the System so I went hunting in my apps for other rosetta-only apps, found an old CD label printing program and it exhibited the same behaviors.
I went to the apple site and the company has not posted any info on the bug, then went looking for a standalone rosetta installer...couldn't find one
Here's the part you won't like: my mac mini is 3 months old. I dug out the os x install disks and reinstalled the system. Then went through and reinstalled system updates. Reinstalling the system killed norton so I had to reinstall that too (no wonder i keep all the installer disks as dmg's on the ministack).
Result of all this, replacing the system, was that Rosetta is now working again.
I then went on to install ram, that went less smoothly and my local geniuses were less ingenious by this point, but that's another story for a paperweight website.

No function after iTunes/Quicktime update

After restarting my G4 Power Mac when the iTunes/Quicktime update had installed, my screen went to blue and froze. I did a hard reboot and now any program I open quits within seconds and I can't open any of my folders! When I try to open something, everything but the dock (toolbar and desktop icons) disappears and come back in a few seconds. Is this an iTunes issue or is there something else going on?

Try booting in Safe Mode. Hold down the Shift key during startup. If that doesn't do it, try holding down the X key during startup. If that doesn't start it up, I think you need to post over in the forum that applies to your particular machine (iBook, MacBook, iMac, etc.) The pros over there might be able to help. Don't hesitate to post back if you have more questions.

HT1766 ipad no longer functions after accepting an updated version of "Hayday"

ipad no longer functions after accepting an updated version of "Hayday"

Unfortunately it was a blinding flash of the obvious that fixed my issue...
Simply rebooting the iMac brought it back to life.
Duh.
I assumed that since Apple usually forces reboots after updates if they are required that this didn't require one, apparently it did.

Loginwindow (Not Responding) after iTunes & Quicktime update

In order to activate my new iPhone this morning I needed to upgrade to iTunes 7.5 and the corresponding Quicktime update. After a reboot and logging in I was presented with the desktop, the dock and a spinning beachball . . . which still hadn't gone away after 10 minutes.
After a while I tried a few things and noticed that the dock was working, until I ctrl clicked on the finder icon that is. After that the dock froze and I rebooted with a long power button press. After logging again I had the same problem, desktop, working dock and spinning beachball.
This time I hit one of my dock stacks and launched the Activity Monitor, only to discover that a process called 'loginwindow' was Not Responding. On force quitting this everything went away and I was back to the login prompt. I logged in again and found the same thing - I can use all the applications I can get to through the dock but have no finder . . .
Any ideas?? HELP!!

OK, here's /var/log/system.log from boot. Are the following two lines significant??

After iTunes/Quicktime update, no flash in Firefox

Hi,
I have now several times had the same problem after I updated iTunes and quicktime, the flash objects in Firefox get the question mark.
I did extensive search on this on the web, apple forum and firefox forum and have now found one solution that has worked couple of times for me.
After the iTunes/Quicktime is updated, and you get question marks instead of flash objects.
Solution:
1. Close firefox
2. Go to the firefox plugins directory. Can be found at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
3. Remove all npqtplugin.dll files (usually 7 of them, numbered as npqtplugin[2..7].dll).
4. Start firefox, and test some flash based page.
This solution works at Windows 2000, Firefox 2.x and latest iTunes/Quicktime.

I don't understand, where on my computer is such a Firefox plug ins list.
My situation is similar, but I notice Quicktime/Flash failures on ALL my browsers...I.E., Netscape, Real Player. Isn't this something Apple should be taking care of, having messed up our software with their download?
How do I reverse the download-Quicktime 7.1.5, etc?
Thanks
John

Powerbook can't start after itunes/quicktime update

Leopoard was running fine up till now. I just ran the software update for itunes and quicktime, and now my powerbook g4 is stuck in an endless loop of trying to boot--I get to the apple logo and spinning gears but after a bit it just shuts down and starts over.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

For those of you with this problem . . . here is another solution that worked for me.
Go here and with a very simple change you can get up an running in Leopard again! Follow the instructions in the 7th post down . . . don't worry . . . you don't really have to do any terminal work. From that post . . . " Apparently there is a conflict with a folder called DivXNetworks in the Library/Application Support folder. If you change the name of this folder to DivXNetworks.prev it may solve the problem. It did in my case. I must say that I do not know what affect the change to that folder will create - but so far I have not noticed any issues"

Keybinds no longer functioning after latest XFCE4 updates

Just as the title reads - XFWM4 is no longer handling keybinds set with the xfce4-keyboard-settings applet. I have verified the permissions on the keyboards.xml in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml, as well as the permissions for the folder. I have also tried deleting the file and using the applet to restore the defaults to no avail. Additionally when attempting to connect gdb to xfwm for debugging, the session becomes unresponsive until I kill gdb from a VT. No log output is provided from XFWM when spawned using "xfwm4 --replace"
To be clear: none of the keybinds work; whether set by me or a default. The xfce4-keyboard-settings applet does however correctly detect keypresses and does correctly input them into the configuration file.
The wave of XFCE4 updates in question are as follows:
[2015-03-21 11:47] [ALPM] upgraded libxfce4ui (4.12.0-1 -> 4.12.1-1)
[2015-03-21 11:47] [ALPM] upgraded xfce4-session (4.12.0-2 -> 4.12.1-1)
[2015-03-22 20:20] [ALPM] upgraded xfce4-power-manager (1.4.3-1 -> 1.4.4-1)
[2015-03-27 20:45] [ALPM] upgraded xfce4-session (4.12.1-1 -> 4.12.1-2)
I'm not sure what sort of logging I could possibly provide to help troubleshoot this; but I will probably try reverting packages systematically until keybinds are functionally restored.

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

IPad/iPhone file browser (iPhone Explorer) no longer working after iTunes update

iTunes freezes up on me a lot when I connect my iPad, so I prefer to add files to apps using a file browser like iPhone Explorer. However, after this most recent iTunes/Quicktime update, this and other programs like it don't work.
My computer is running Windows XP (yeah, I know it's old, but I'm not made of money!). I have an iPad 2 with the most recent iOS version installed.
Here's the error message iPhone Explorer gives me:
"iPhone Explorer is unable to load the app directories because the version of CoreFoundation.dll installed on your system doesn't work properly. This sucky DLL likely got on to your computer because of a recent update in the Safari web browser. Because this sucky DLL is shared between many other Apple programs, reverting back to the non-sucky version is more complicated than just uninstalling and reinstalling a couple programs. We recommend waiting a couple months for the next Safari update and hopefully Apple will have this stuff fixed then."
I don't have Safari installed on my computer. Just iTunes (and Quicktime).
As a result, you can't browse the app directories, so you can't add any files to apps. I tried uninstalling iTunes and replacing it with an older version, but it wouldn't open because it said the library file was created by a "newer version." I'm also having some trouble even getting iTunes to show the files in my apps (under iPad -> Apps -> scroll to bottom of the screen), but that might just be a symptom of my old iTunes-freezing problems.
I'm kind of stuck. Anyone else experience this problem or have any suggestions? Thanks!!

That's XP SP3 I hope? iPhone Explorer support is shown at the bottom of the page you linked above or at [email protected] and it's them you should be asking really.
You should be keeping iTunes and the iPad software always up to date for security reasons. If that breaks external software then they are the ones to ask.
If you are having problems with the iPad then try resetting it by clicking the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You wont lose anything.
If iTunes is acting up then try asking on that forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows

After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. Iran

After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.

and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

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.

Hello mzshay2u2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac. First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

What are "Apple software updates"? Where is "iTunes & QuickTime" update?

When starting iTunes today, I got the box asking if I wanted to install 10.4. I clicked yes then got the big box that I've seen many times. It usually has MobileMe, iTunes & QuickTime, and an offer to install Safari. Today, and recently, I haven't seen the "iTunes & QuickTime" update option; it's been replaced by something like "Apple software updates." Today it was version 2.... Previously, I haven't gone ahead with the "Apple software updates" because I don't know what this consists of and it looks suspicious to me. Today, I again quit instead of updating "Apple software."

Thanks for the reply.
I've had iTunes since 2007 and don't recall "Apple software update" 'till recently. Perhaps the reason I've seen the message several times now, and again today, is that I've not installed it. It would then make sense to prompt me today before going ahead with the 10.4 update. Make sense to you?
Actually, from what I've seen on the forum today, I expect another iTunes update very soon, so I think I'll wait.

3-d is no longer enabled after downloading Yosemeti update. Can I re-enable?

3-d is no longer enabled after downloading Yosemeti update. Can I re-enable? I was able to 3-d layers prior to this new update. I have changed any drivers an know the mac is capable. Dunno how under systems it is disabled.

Any computer tech would know that it is likely not firefox causing this issue, but an incompatibility with a new ebay sign-in page and the firefox browser. The browser only does what the code on the page tells it to. I have seen the issue with other sites that work with IE or with Safari, but not firefox and some that work with firefox and IE but not Safari, it is the web developer's fault for the page that isn't working, not your browser.
---It is possible that it is a firefox issue, but it is most likely an issue with the webpage itself. I do not have a problem signing into ebay at all with firefox.
