Update for quicktime 7.4 fails

Software update this morning asked me to instal Quicktime 7.4 ITunes something, and a security update. ITunes and the Security update installed fine. Quicktime did not, leaving me with a message to try again. I repaired permissions, same thing.I downloaded the complete QT 7.4 dmg , repaired permissions and tried again. Still no luck. Then I put the existing QT in the trash, while noting that get info said it was 7.4. Tried again. No luck. Then I tried to empty trash. It does not empty. I get the spinning wheel forever. The I tried using the terminal to delete ( I am not an expert with it) using
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
This is what I got back in Terminal and the trash still did not empty.
Andy-Laptop:~ andyjar$ sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
rm: /Users/andyjar/.Trash/QuickTime Player.app/Contents/Resources/Italian.lproj: Directory not empty
rm: /Users/andyjar/.Trash/QuickTime Player.app/Contents/Resources: Directory not empty
rm: /Users/andyjar/.Trash/QuickTime Player.app/Contents: Directory not empty
rm: /Users/andyjar/.Trash/QuickTime Player.app: Directory not empty
I'm not sure I know what this means and would welcome any suggestions/explanations.
There are 2 files on my hard drive called Italian.lproj
one in my mail account, one in my Brother printer driver. I deleted both of those yet I get the same message in Terminal and QT 74. is still in my Trash folder.
Shoudl I proceed to delete anything related to QT is the System and Libary folder and preferences?
Thanks in advance for any advice

"Then I put the existing QT in the trash, while noting that get info said it was 7.4."
Remove QT from the trash & place it back into the Applications folder. You do not need to remove the older versions of QT because somehow when you update the original QT app automatically changes to the newer version.
When troubleshooting did you remove all devices from your computer except for the keyboard & mouse?
Did you restart your computer after you repaired permissions? Have you tried repairing disk & permissions directly from your System Install discs that originally came w/your computer?

Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

Bug in Compatibility Update for QuickTime 7.5.5 ?

After installing the Compatibility Update for QuickTime 7.5.5, DVD Player 5.0.1 began frequently hesitating for a second or so, which completely ruined the experience of watching DVDs.
I reinstalled QuickTime 7.5.5 and that seemed to fix the problem.

HipHipHooRay!
Why doesn't Apple post messages on the discussion boards of such things? Especially for those on-going discussions relating to problems/issues that the latest software update will fix? Many of us subscribe to the topic related to our issues and word from Apple would be most welcomed.
Did the update work for you?

When downloading updates for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed.

When downloading updated for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed. If I don't get that message I get a message saying that the download was unsuccesful and that in order to download I need to go to tools and then select dowload only. Please help I really want to update my iphone!

Thanks for helping out, but I already tried these steps.
I even tried this on a iMac with similar results. The only difference was that the errorcode was called 2001 instead of 21.
Today I took the phone to www.iphoneambulancen.dk. A guy (in Aarhus, Denmark) that specializes in iPhone repairs. I figured, that given his occupation he'd seen most errorcdes. Two hours later, he called me back, and told me that he had replaced the battery.
So, it turns out that a broken battery can cause this behaviour.
But thanks again

I attempted to download a "critical" update for Excel, however, it failed. When I try and open an excel doc I am not able to ~ can anyone help???

Hello - I attempted to download a "critical" update for Excel, however, it failed. I shut down the computer. Now I am not able to access docs in excel either ones I have already created or create new ones. I continue to get an error message. Please help!!!!! thanks!!

I suspect you may want to try Microsoft's Mac Office support forums, since this appears to be an issue with their software.
What error message (if any) do you get if you try and start up Excel?
However, if it happened to me I'd probably remove Office and then resintall it from the original disks. That will take you back to the original shipping version of Office after which it should update you to the latest version.
Most likely when Microsoft's update software failed it managed to corrupt the Excel program files in such a way that they are no longer usable. So a resintallation of the program is likely the only real option to fix this one.

12.0.2 update for Photoshop CS5: Installation failed

The Adobe Application Manager kicks off every day now and tells me there is an update for CS5. It downloads the update and then promptly says"Installation Failed". There is no more information.
I tried running Update from CS5 itself but it just launches Application Manager, again downloads and again gives this message.
There is no information about what failed or why.
I have an i7 processor, over 900GB free on the drive with CS5 and 12GB of RAM. No adobe products are running other than all the background updater stuff they insist on running.
What can I do? I have no idea how to proceed. Google provides no hints other than similar issues with version 11 two years ago where Adobe support states they are going to provide more information on what failed in future versions (I guess maybe version 13?)

Rant much?
I never said its not a big issue, but I was not the one calling for adobe to fire people. I posted a reply to Safari Dave and was not even addressing you or your issue.
First I would love to point out this is a "USERS" forum. Most everyone here is a user not adobe staff, they come to try to help people like you with issues simply because they are good people who like to help others.
Biggest issues "support" has with software "users" are people like you.
Absolutly no understanding.
You rant that things do not work and are very short tempered about it.
Most of the time resistent to provide accurate and complete information and unwilling to take the steps they recommend.
People think they (support people) should just know exactly how to fix what is broken. and thats as rediculous as going to the doctor and saying fix me then complaining when he does not know what is wrong.
take a chill pill.

Updates for PS CS5 keep failing, have tried several times but no luck

I've just installed Photoshop CS5 on my laptop, running Windows Vista SP2. When trying to update the software, i keep getting a download error:
Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5 Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Photoshop CS5
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
I'm not that tech savvy when it comes to analyzing log files to see what the error is (that was Adobe's suggestion!) so can't go down that route.
I've tried several times via the programme, and also via the Adobe download website, but still get the same errors. I'm also unable to update the programe on my PC running Windows 7. I realise that Adobe want everyone to update to CC, but I cant afford to do that! Anybody got any solutions?

Please clean AAM cache By deleting following folder contents:
For Mac:
· /Volumes/%Volume Name%/Users/%Username%/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0
For Win:
· C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0
Then try running Updates.

Security Update for Windows XP KB979482 Fails to Install

The KB979482 update continually fails to install with a 0x8007F007 error code. It has done so from Boot Camp 2.0 through 3.2. Windows XP Pro SP3 is installed and all other critical and optional updates have installed without problem. Currently running Boot Camp 3.2, OS X 10.5.6. As best as I can determine the error code means the update found the system waiting for a reboot following a previously installed update and cancels the installation. Of course there have been a number of reboots. I have tried to install the update with the Firewall and Bitdefender anti-virus on and off.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok slap me, the solution was too easy. Did a manual download of the update at the following address. Executed the downloaded file and the update installed. Checked that the updated was successfully installed by running Windows update and it no longer showed up as needing to be done.

Security update for 7.1.6 fails

Neither my MacBook or my iMac will accept the latest Quicktime update. The download proceeds but before the install is successful I get the following message:
"A networking error has occurred: Error NSURLErrorDomain -1005 (-1005). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
Another update included with the Quicktime update loaded without problem. Don't recall which one is was.
I'm sure I'm connected.
Any suggestions

What was this "other" update that installed sucessfully? I noticed that you are still using OS10.4.7.
Did you repair permissions prior & after the installation? If not, suggest that you do so & try to install QT again. Make sure you repair permissions after the installation.

Can't Use Software Update for Quicktime

I have been trying any different things in order to update the version of Quicktime on my computer. But I keep getting this error.
Make sure you have permission to write to /Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/content/downloads/34/44/061-2834/JJKTR GcgSLYK6xc6wwtrhvFS4S6fHk2Z4L, then try again.
I have tried to repair disk permissions with Disk Utility, Drive Genius, and Disk Warrior but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Two things to try. Open /Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ and drag its contents to a new folder on the desktop. Next, select the com.apple.SoftwareUpdate folder, CMD+I, and ensure that the owner is you and that you have R&W access. If neither of those soleve the problem, you might want to update to 10.4.8 (your settings show 10.4.4).

Mountain Lion Update for my macbook pro FAILED!!!!

Hi everyone,
I just updated my macbook pro yesterday. However, when time remained 19 minutes, the updated failed and a message popped out: 'Install Failed: OS X could not be installed on your computer.' It also asked me to restart and try installing again.
However, after I restarted, it was still unsuccessful and this same message popped out. Whenever I turn on my macbook pro, it just stays on the the update install process and I can't even quit it. I tried to choose Startup Disk, however, no system shown and I couldn't select the system I want to use to start up my computer. I just don't know what to do but I really need to use my macbook pro as soon as possible. I have to use the files on it to do something really urgent and important. If someone has encountered this problem and found out the solution, please tell and help me! I really need your kind help!!!! Thanks so much!!!!

System requirements here:

If you have supported Macs, just go to the Mac App store and buy it. You can install it on up to 5 Macs on one licence

Disable automatic updates for QuickTime 7.3 on Vista

Is there any way to disable automatic updates in order to do a corporate deployment?
I've tried playing around with the preference files but no matter what I do it keeps coming up with the update checkbox checked.
From looking at the posts on this forum it looks like Apple doesn't really care about the free version of QuickTime and that's pretty sad because a lot of people use that to evaluate and then go on to purchase Pro, but I guess you don't pop up on Apple's radar until you pay up. Kind of like MS!

The easy solution, then, is either a) to boycott anything that uses QuickTime (as I do, because the player is so annoying) or b) you could uninstall the Apple Software Update program in the Control Panel in case it's doing the update nonsense and ignoring the preference inside QuickTime not to update.

Installed update for Quicktime for Leopard. It indicates successful installation but actually hasnt installed. Did it a few times and also deleted my existing version and all QT preferences. Still doesnt work. any ideas?

I have downloaded Quicktime for leopard fo rmy iMac (2 years old). It indicated successful installation. Then I purchased Quicktime Pro. It didnt work. So tried a download again. The same thing happened. So I deleted absolutely everything including my old version of QT and also any preference files I found. I tried again but the same thing happened. It indicates successful installation but a search doesn't reveal anything anywhere. I have had no previous trouble downloading any new programmes . They always install with no problem straight into applications. there is lots of available memory. Now I have no Quicktime whatsoever.
Any ideas anyone? Have tried speaking to the apple call centre in India. He couldnt understand me and vie versa. No use at all and it cost me a fortune for the phone call. On the phone for an hour while this chap kept going to his supervisor. Why do companies continue to use call centres overseas?

I have used Firefox since Firefox 0.7 or 0.9 but may have been 0.5. Seems like it was called something else but my memory is not that great.
Before that I used Seamonkey and other variations of Mozilla. Before that I used Netscape. I even have/had a CD that I sent off for with the different releases going all the way back to the beginning (I think).
I was a Mozilla crusader. When I saw someone using IE I would talk to them like they must be dumb until they switched haha. I have converted everyone who is close to me to firefox except my wife and I think she uses IE to irritate me.
I work on the Internet. I spend no less than 12 hours and up to 18 hours a day with my fingers touching a keyboard that is connected to a computer or phone that is interacting with the Internet. I have Firefox on my Android phone, two laptops and my desktop. All of them crash constantly.
When it crashes I lose work and time. Not to mention getting big headaches.
I am very appreciative for the browser and yes I have made money donations. Not saying that makes me good. I look at it more like I am paying for great software.
I never thought the day would come that I would say no more to Firefox. The day has come.
When Firefox first came out it was small, good and fast. As time has went on it has become big, bad and slow. I feel like I am turning my back on a good friend but i can't take the crashing any longer.
I am using Chrome now. Dang I hate to use anything google. Since I can't make my own browser I have to use what's out there and Chrome is fast. Sort of like Firefox used to be... except of course Chrome has all those phone home goodies.
I won't be trying to convert anyone to Chrome but neither will I try to convert them to Firefox.
I am not trying to start a flame war or anything here. As nuts as it sounds I felt like I should tell Firefox bye.
Bye bye Firefox. it was good knowing you
