Sound and quicktime problems

so ever since i downloaded the newest version of itunes and quicktime my itunes simply wont play... also im getting a application error message for quicktime when the computer starts. I have no idea what to do... any ideas??

ok so following the advice of a computer buddy I did a system restore and brought my itunes back to the old verson. To figure out how to do the restore just use the find or support button in windows and it will give you info and walk you through it! My sound issues were gone. The only problem i encountered was that when trying to open itunes it said my libray could not be opened bec it was a newer version than itunes.
but if you have this problem all you have to do is search your comp for itunes library. this will bring you librays up that is has savedd over time. find the main one with all the playlists in it and the one with the newest date and move them to your desktop, this keeps itunes from trying to open it. itunes will open with no library and all you have to do is use the file on your desktop with the playlists in it and drag each one to the left side of your itues and the play lists are there again!!!
my friend just sugested that if and when i do another update to save my old library to my desktop again before the update so if, again, i have problems with the new version i can revert back to the old library again!! hope this helps

  • HT4623 Sound and other problems with Ipad 3 after ios 6.1.3 update

    I purchased Ipad 3 last year and got problem of losing sound when I restored the Ipad throgh itunes. The sound came back automatically after I charged the device to 100%. Recently I got the same problem when the operating system was Ios 6.1.2 and then i got updated it to ios 6.1.3. The problem has not been solved while has been added up. Now the Ipad operation is slow, its either freezes and crashes frequently. Once it gets in sleep mode then it does not come back untill i press power button and home button togehter for sometime. I have checked all settings like mute and have restored the ios multiple times on two separate PCs but the problem is still there. Please help me what i need to do next.

    Try a reboot of your ipad. Hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simulataneously. Keep holding, ignoring the red slider, until the Apple logo appears. Release the buttons and let the ipad restart. A reboot often fixes numerous problems.
    Also are you aware that by suncing with a different computer it is likely the personal stuff you had on your ipad from your imac will be removed?
    The ipad is designed to sync with only one device.

  • Windows Vista ULT and Quicktime problem

    I apologize if this has been posted already, I did a search and found nothing so here goes...
    I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and wanted to get iTunes and Quicktime running as soon as I could. I installed the latest version found on apple's website but every time I try to start Quicktime up, it does absolutely nothing at all. I try to click on a quicktime file and it does nothing as well. Even stranger, I try to uninstall quicktime and it hangs for a sec and then pretends I never asked it to do anything.
    iTunes crashes every time I try to run it but it WILL uninstall.
    Anyone know a fix to any of this?
    Mahalos plenty!

    Right, I read that article and did what they asked, but it didn't work and doesn't address the problem I have now.
    According to the info Apple provided on that article, it implies that iTunes and Quicktime will work with Vista. I can wait for an update if thats the case, I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

  • Screensaver, system sounds and itunes problem

    I did all the updates and even used migration assistant so my computer has been through allot already. I do not know which update affected my screen saver and optical audio but my screen saver is having the same issue with two monitors. My VGA monitor displays photos when the screen saver kicks in but my macbook just says looking for pictures. I tried reseting pram, repairing permissions and "safe boot" but nothing works. My optical audio somehow messes with my system sounds and iTunes on first song or podcast played. Sometimes the progress bar will freeze and I can't move it.(the time counter for a track in iTunes). The system sound works off and on when I use optical audio out to my stereo receiver. I talked to apple care and the genius bar and they said I might need to archive and install from the recovery discs that came with my computer. I think if I did that and did all the updates then the problem would return because I think it is a firmware or software update problem and not third party software interacting with the system.

    iTunes shouldn't do that. Normally when iTunes finds that it would like to move/rename a file after download or a tag edit, and the filename it wants to use is already in use, it adds a " 1" or " 2" to the end of the filename. It does not overwrite the original file. In fact if it had reused the filename then there would be two entries in your library, which would both have the same information and content. Is this the case? How exactly is the title of the film spelt?
    File & folder names are limited to 40 characters in Windows so I would expect (judging by the titles given in the store) to find the movies in a folder called:
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - P
    and to be called
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.m4v and
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallo 1.m4v
    Hopefully you have a backup of the missing file as, in principle, you are only allowed to create one copy using the redemption code.

  • IMac 20" sound and other problems

    My dad has just bought me a 20" intel iMac for my 18th birthday, and has let me have it 2 weeks early, and I love it!
    But yesterday i ran into various troubles. I turned my mac on, hearing the usual startup chime,but there was no sound at all coming from the internal speakers as soon as I got into Mac OS (fully updated as well as firmware 1.01) e.g. playing a song on itunes. Absolutely nothing.
    When I plugged in my usual external speakers into the headphone jack, the sound was unusually low, and when turning the external speakers up there was a very distinct crackling sound along with the music that was playing.
    This, I thought, was just a minor problem that could be easily rectified. That was until my screen went a dark transparent grey with a multilingual message telling me that I needed to restart my computer. So I did, and mac os booted up again telling me that Mac Os had encountered an error. I sent a report to apple at this point too. Then the screen went transparent grey again telling me to restart.
    This continued, and I decided to quickly back up my files to a nearby pc (I'm recently converted to Macs), and I inserted my Mac Os install disk. I knew what I was doing as I'd formatted a few days ago due to accidently erasing my mac partition whilst trying out bootcamp . I did a full erase of the mac harddrive, and started the install process, when the grey screen happened again! This led me to beleive it wasnt a software fault. I restarted and attempted to install again. This time no grey screen, but a horrible noise came from the under the bottom left of the screen like a violent clicking. I turned the mac off straight away. I booted up again and installed Mac OS without any errors.
    Still, no sound and still the grey screen popped up. I finally decided to phone Apple up with the number from the applecare box. The man on the other end guided me through various diagnostic procedures, getting me to hold applealt+RP, and got me to reinstall mac os, at which point we hung up.
    Mac OS worked fine this time with no grey screens, but the sound still didnt work. I phoned applecare up again and a woman showed me the sound pane in system properties. The Output listing didnt show internal speakers at all and just showed Line Out. Well all in all my mac is in the same state right now, apart from I keep getting more and more grey screens, and it seems to be really unstable when trying to install software updates for example.
    The woman on the phone arranged to have it repaired, but I was wondering whether anyone had any clue as to whats going on with my mac.
    I'd really appreciate any ideas or comments about it. I'm sorry about the length of this post too!

    hey rob,
    if your machine was okay, up to the point of your 'experiment' with installing windows, it looks like your problems stem from a dodgy reinstall after the bootcamp attempt [i did the same thing, duing the formatting prep for windows, erased the os x partition bahhh]...i reinstalled and i haven't had any problems since[trying to find a slipstreaming scheme with the older xp pro disk i have].
    importantly, though is this clicking sound, not good.
    i'd like to know, through looking in the apple system profiler what brand HDD your machine came with. there would be letters designating western digital, seagate or maxtor.
    it may be, that this component is faulty. imho i'd prefer one brand over another that apple uses, other threads on the subject have different opinions about that...; ^]

  • Installing itunes and quicktime problem

    Alright i am having problems installing itunes and quicktime, itunes downloads fine but when the quicktime install gets to writing system registry values 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"

    "Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes
    \QuicktimePlayerLib.QuicktimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient >access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
    Crikey. Haven't seen one of those for an eternity.
    Checking on a simpler possibility with it first. It can be produced if certain older versions of QuickTime were installed in a different administrative user accpount from the one in which you're currently attempting to install the newer version.
    Do you have other user accounts with full administrative rights on the PC? If so, can the install go through successfully from any of those?

  • Sound and microphone problems.

    Dear members:
    After a lot of frustrating attempts to use a microphone with my computers I have finally given up and decided to search for help with this issue.
    I have used a earset on three different computers I own (2 Powermacs and 1 Powerbook) but it doesn't pick the sound input from the microphone. I can hear just fine through the earset's speaker but the microphone part doesn't work.
    The earset has been used with 2 cell phones I have and I know it's working fine. I have also tried to use 2 Sony microphones I often use with a digital voice recorder during lectures. One is a unidirectional mono microphone and the other is a stereo omnidirectional microphone. Both microphones work just fine with the recorder but on the computers they simply don't show any sound input coming in.
    I have gone to the preferences pane, selected sound and chosen line in as the input source. However, unlike my Powerbook's built-in microphone, I can't see the input level bar graph move when I speak into the microphones. In case I do it with the Powerbook's sound input set for the built-in microphone, the input level bar moves to both right and left according to sound level (and the input volume I set). But with the microphones I have tested (3 so far) nothing happens.
    The problem can't be related to a hardware problem since I have tested the microphones with 3 different computers and it would be too much of a coincidence to have 3 computers with the same problem. The microphones can't be the problem either since I have tested them and they work fine with other devices.
    I have to believe the problem has to do with system configuration and something I am not doing right. I have contacted Apple's technical support but have been extremelly dissapointed by the help I received from a young man who seemed to know less about computers than I do and wasn't very well trained in the art of providing courteous service to consumers.
    Any ideas here ? This is frustrating me to the extreme as this should be a fairly simple thing to do that has now become a nightmare.
    Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
    Best regards,

    Apple's sound input and output ports are separate on their machines. Not all Macs have a sound input port. If the headset only has one audio jack, you won't be able to use the sound in on it unless you somehow separate the sound input to its own cable.
    Please identify your Macs in more detail using the links I've provided here:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#IDENTIFY
    The Specifications link on the toolbar at the top of the Discussions board will get you the sound port configuration of your specific Mac. If there is no sound input port on your Mac, you may need to use a Griffin iMic to hook up the audio input cable. Check your Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Sound -> Input to be sure that the microphone is detected.
    Not always will you get an Apple support representative on the phone who doesn't know what they are doing. Most of the time they are quite knowledgeable. If you get one who doesn't ask them to let you speak to someone else who is more of an expert on the issue.

  • Sound and video problems?

    ok here is the deal, i got all the latest drivers for my system.
    i got the
    MSI 875P NEO LSR mainboard
    p4 3 ghz with HT
    with 1024mb ram
    160 gb s-ata
    geforce fx 5600 XT/256 mb
    soundblaster live 5.1 sound
    when i play heavy games like HALO or Need for speed my sounds and video works not correct BUT it should not be a problem because my amd 1800+ with gforce ti 4200 did better  
    i think it's the mainboard but does ANYONE has an solution or the same problem?
    o yeah my system reboots sometimes when i put new hardware on it (had it with my USB modem 4 ADSL)

    This sounds like it is your PSU giving troubles. What wattage is your PSU, and what are the 3.3v, 5v and 12v ratings on the PSU? (You can find out this info on the sticker that is attached to the PSU)

  • Sound and connection problems

    Hello.
    I own a Ipod Touch 16gb, purchased January last year (i believe it's 2nd gen).
    The iPod had worked fine for almost a year until the problems started, at first it would just freeze in 30min-1hour, and then work fine again. But in January (2010) the problems got serious. It started with that the iPod would play sounds and being very slow when trying to play. The only sound there came out of it (both speaker and headphones) where scratching sounds in a very low volume. To hopefully solve the problems i connected the iPod to my Windows computer (which it's syncronized with). The computer reconised that a USB item was connected (the "dong" sound) but iTunes didn't.
    Therefor i choose the reset the iPod completeley and delete everything on it.
    This worked until now, where the problems has occured again.
    The first time the iPod showed problems in January (2010) it was send to Apple, where it was checked for flaws (both hardware and software), but nothing was found.
    Currentley im reseting the iPod once again in hope of getting it normal, but im afraid it will happend again.
    Any ideas of what the problem is, and how it could be solved?.
    Kind Regards
    Mathias Brix

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you’re running into a Bluetooth connection issue since upgrading your iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1. The interoperability of devices manufactured by different companies can sometimes be frustrating. Try taking a look at the two articles below, they will resolve most issues like the one you described.

  • Sound and Quicktime

    What's the final word in getting sound to work in Quicktime?
    I have tried it all. I have been researching the posts. My problem is QT wont play streaming content from Apple's Seminars. I've tried the streams of Steve Jobs Keynote speeches, but no sound! This is a recent discovery.
    I have always just thought that AVI files just didn't work on QT and I accepted that. So what is the problem?
    Someone please HELP

    "What's the final word in getting sound to work in Quicktime?"
    As far as I know.....none!
    I & millions of others have "sound" while using QT. Your statement indicates no one has sound!
    *A few suggestions:*
    Repair permissions & restart.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832 Mac OS X: No audio from certain multimedia content
    Trick/Tip: Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).
    Quit out of the GarageBand app.
    *Check your QT MIME Settings:*
    System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
    While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
    This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the Video box. This box will enable you to play .avi files.
    Click the OK button.
    *Regarding avi files:*
    Open the file with QuickTime Player.
    Open the Movie Info window (Command-i).
    Note the name of the video codec used in the file.
    Do a Google.com search for codec name +Mac and download one appropriate for your OS and computer.
    Quit and relaunch QuickTime after installing the new codec.
    Try the file again.
    Thanks to QuickTimeKirk for the above info.
    Make sure you have the following installed:
    VLC Media Player
    Perian (AVI and FLV support)
    *Last but not least:*
    Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software

  • ITunes 7 sound and playback problems

    I downloaded iTunes 7 today and when I went to play a track I recieved hidious distortion from every track in my library. I have checked my speaker volume, system volume, iTunes volume and played other media players to see if the same problem came up with them and it did not. I also had iTunes running moments before I downloaded 7 with no problems so its definately 7 related. I have made sure the the equalizer in 7 is turned off and checked each and every setting to see if anything is messing it up and have not found anything. I have reintalled the software twice now as well. I run a Audigy 2 ZS and assume my drivers are up to date if not a fairly recent version.
    I should also mention that I run Windows XP 64-bit and have all the Windows updates up to date. One thing I noticed is that the Music Store icons next to each song are only appearing when I have the song highlighted which may indicate some bugs as I know the arrows use to be next to each item in the window in the iTunes versions prior. I bring that up obviously because perhaps 7 isn't running well on XP-64 yet.
    Any ideas on where I should start to troubleshoot this? The best description for the sound is a huge distortion filter where you can kind of make out the song behind layers of static and hiss. Its definately something to do with the software or its interation with my hardware and not nessicarly any volume settings that I can find.

    Me too.... Just upgraded to iTunes V7. Now I cannot play anything from within iTunes. When playing a song, it is just garbled. You can hear the song enough to tell what it is. But it is severly distorted. More of a "repeating warbling" type sound. Like a scratched record that is playing the same section over a few times before moving on. Also, when I double click a song to play, it takes 12-15 seconds before any sound at all comes out.
    In my other players, like Windows media, songs play just fine. All other audio seems OK. Just now cannot play anything in iTunes V7.
    I have had iTunes since at least version 4 or 5, and upgraded everytime a new version came out. Each time with no issues until now.
    Using Windows XP, SP2
    2 Gig RAM
    2 Terabytes Data storage
    AMD 4800 Dual processor
    Sound Card - Creative Emu 1212
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

  • ITunes 6.0.3.5 and Quicktime ~Problems~

    My Quicktime won't open, even afetr i downloaded the new version which Katrina sed in one of her answers that she answered for someone. Also itunes won't open it loads but then doesn't do anything, I don't get an error or anything but it jsut won't ope. I hada virus named Quizoogle or something... but deleted that so doubt that thats the problem
    any suggestions? :/

    hiya!
    I hada virus named Quizoogle or something... but deleted that so doubt that thats the problem
    was that the Qoologic/Qoolaid adware? an infestation of that is consistent with neither itunes nor QT opening (and getting no error messages whatsoever when they refuse to open).
    what did you use to get rid of it? (it can sometimes be a beast to remove fully from Win 2000 boxes.)

  • Help: iTunes and Quicktime problems

    Hello
    I have read so many topics similar to this and followed the advice there but no luck. So i am on my knees with what to do. I miss iTunes!
    When the latest update came out, i updated it and after the install i could not open iTuens. I got the following error message:
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    With...
    Error Signature:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 6.0.4.2 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040
    I must have reinstalled about 10 times at least. No success. So i did a quicktime standalone install before iTunes. No success. In fact, Quicktime fails to open at all and won't show up in the Add/Remove Programs. Gives error something on the lines of "0x80040707" straight after Quicktime standalone install.
    I am running a Windows XP Pro 64-bit edition. Is this a new problem?
    This is driving me crazy! I never realised how much i depend on iTunes and what it gives me
    Thank you so much in advance!
    Tom

    sorry about the delay, Twong. i had been trying to avoid the BMWX5 rants, and hadn't realised that the one in here had been edited out.
    your message on launch (when it cites that offset 10001040) is almost invariably caused by a broken QuickTime. so let's first try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall:
    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.)
    love, b

    When I'me listening to music on iTunes or other programs or when I'm watching movies,  the music (or movie) is not continuous and jerk (I'me not sure it's the good word, english is not my mother language ) It's rather unpleasant.
    And often when the computer is working I hear a kind of whisling coming from my computer, I think it's the processor but I'm not sure.
