Update quicktime fail

Hi,
I have a problem when updating quicktime 7. in 7.6.6, the lastest one. It stops at 98% of the installation and it says that it failed. So now I can't use skype and neither itunes because they requiered at list quicktime 7.5version to work.
So I tryied to download from apple store itune 7.6.6version and instal it from my desktop, but same problem...How can i fix that? help please.

OK, I'm back up and running.
Another thread had some information from bigman13 that provided a solution. It appears that most (not all) of the people having this problem had also installed Java6 beta. If you are one of those people, here is a solution that might help you. Caution - this involves performing steps from a command shell.
I think you must have a root account enabled to do this. If you don't and wish to enable it, select the "Help | Mac Help" menu item from your desktop screen and type in "root account". Select the "Enabling the root user" entry and follow those instructions.
Steps to fix the problem:
1) Open a Terminal window and type...
2) su -
3) cd /Library/Receipts/JavaSE6Release1.pkg/Contents
4) lsbom -s -f Archive.bom > /tmp/files
5) Now edit the /tmp/files file with a text editor and replace " " with "\ " and all "./" with "rm /" - Resave the file
6) From the terminal again: sudo bash /tmp/files
7) rm -r /Library/Receipts/JavaSE6Release1.pkg
8) sudo update_prebinding
9) I rebooted my Mac
10) Test that Word runs again - Mine Did!
11) I then reinstalled Java6
Hope this helps

  • After iTunes 7.6 update:  QuickTime failed to initialize (error -2096

    "QuickTime failed to initialize (error -2096).
    QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes."
    After upgrading to iTunes 7.6 this morning, I get this error when trying to run iTunes or Quicktime. I was using the Apple Updater. I got no errors when running the installer.
    I downloaded the 7.6 setup file and attempted to repair the install. I still receive the same error.
    There is an article indicating that turning off Compatibility mode would resolve this issue, but Compatibility mode is not turned on for iTues or QuickTime.
    The same issue is discussed in the Quicktime forum, here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6400305
    I am running on Windows 2003.
    Note I had iTunes open earlier today, and it was working fine. It was only when I upgraded to 7.6 (I think I was at 7.4 before. It was definetly 7.something).

    Thanks for this discussion and I hope Apple fixes this soon. It took me forever but installing QT 7.2 and installing the less recent itunes update from filehippo finally resolved it for me. Of course the reason it took me forever was that every time I reinstalled itunes, I was using the default setting that was updating QT & Apple also (in hindsight it sounds really dumb, but no one had mentioned that).
    This is the first itunes update that has ever gone wrong for me - I've used itunes for 5 yrs (my 1st ipod was a 2nd gen touch wheel). I wonder if some MS developers went to work at Apple to exact revenge...?

  • Updates for quicktime failed once again

    download iTunes again from Apple.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
    Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
    Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
    You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.

  • (Software Update) The update "QuickTime can't be saved.

    I have gotten the following failure repeatedly on every attempt (about 5x) of QT 7.5 update. I have successfully used Software Update to get to OS X 10.5.4 but the QT 7.5 update has not succeeded.
    The Software Update status window says' Downloading 1 item Expanding and verifying QuickTime...'
    The error message is 'The update "QuickTime" can't be Saved. Software Update could not expand the package correctly.'
    Based on the QT discussion board i am wondering if it is even a good idea to get this 7.5. However the iTunes 7.7 says that it requires QT 7.5. I am at iTunes 7.7 now. The reason is I read that I need to be on 10.5.4 OSX and iTunes 7.7 before downloading iPhone OS 2.0.
    thanks

    I was using Software Update, which is supposed to know the correct version. Once, I did try to get the Leopard version off the downloads web page and the disk failed to mount. After your reply I tried again from the downloads page and this time it worked.
    So problem solved, but I have no clue why...I had just rebooted... but I had rebooted before without it helping. It seems random chance combined with enough reboots did the trick.
    Thanks for your help.

  • ITunes wont open - Quicktime fails to initialize

    when i open itunes, it says that quicktime failed to initialize.
    i open quicktime, and it works fine
    ive tried reinstalling...
    it was working a few days ago, then I hd to get rid of a few programs fast, so I went to the Program Files folder and deleted a few of them. All the apple software was deleted from this folder. But I didn't actually go the the control panel and all that.

    Hello Jkroll
    You may want to try the uninstall below. Keep in mind to follow it in the order below if you want to reduce the amount of times you reboot. Also keep in mind not all programs in this list will be on your computer this is just a list of Apple programs that could be there if so uninstall them.
    1. Uninstall the following Apple Software in the following order to help reduce reboots
    -Apple Mobile Device Support
    -Apple Software Update
    -Bonjour
    -Windows iPod Updater (Name might be different but look for anything with the word iPod)
    -MobileME Control Panel
    -Quicktime
    -iTunes
    *Now reboot the computer
    *Now download and install Quicktime by itself the stand alone version. Then download and install iTunes.

  • QuickTime fails to initialize for non-admin users (Error 63441)

    I have installed iTunes 6.0.4 (including QuickTime 7.0.4) on my XP PC. iTunes and QuickTime work fine for the Admin users, but not for non-Admin accounts.
    iTunes crashes with the generic Microsoft 'send error report' message; QuickTime gives "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # 63441".
    Any help / suggestions appreciated.

    Eventually fixed it!
    As mentioned in numerous other posts this came down to an issue with registry keys.
    Updated the permissions for HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\QuickTime to give 'Full Control' to 'Everyone'.
    Initially had a lot of difficulty accessing the Apple Computer, Inc. branch - kept getting 'access denied'. This turned out to be because there was no owner set for the key. Once I had made myself owner I was able to make the other changes.

  • Keynote export to Quicktime fails with any animation

    I'm making recordings of Keynote slideshows, and I keep running into the same problem: any time I include an animation, of any sort, the export to Quicktime fails. Any advice?
    Specifically, regardless of the format (whether it's an animated GIF, a Quicktime movie, or ???), I have the animation set to begin immediately, on transition. I can see it animating while I'm talking. When I export it to Quicktime, my voice continues, but Keynote remains stuck on the first frame. Sometimes it does animate a little bit, toward the end of the time that I'm on the slide, but regardless, voice and video sync are way, way off for the rest of the movie.
    Has anyone else encountered this and fixed it? I've seen one person be advised to export using fixed timing, but that's not an option for me: the amount of time I spend on the different slides varies quite a bit.

    Yeah, it's pretty simple- with your keynote slideshow open, just open quicktime player, go to "file" then "new screen recording". A little box will open with a record button. Press record, and then play your slideshow in keynote from the beginning. You will have to wait and let it record in real time. After it is done, it will prompt you to save it as a quicktime movie. Then you just have to open iMovie, click "import" and then select the quicktime movie you just made. Then click the musical note button on the lower right, select the mp3 of the VO track or music that you want to use, and drag that onto the timeline. You should right-click and select "detach audio" so you can move it around and get the timing you need. Then just "finalize project" and you're done! Easy-peezie.
    And I have no idea about future keynote updates...overall it's a nice program but the exporting problems definitely need to be addressed.

  • Quicktime failed to initialize error -2096 using itunes 8, WinServer2003

    Quicktime failed to initialize error -2096
    I am getting this when trying to run Itunes 8 on windows 2003 standard
    When i click on "QTInfo.exe" it says "Not Installed"
    I tried re-installing a few times, all the regular stuff. When I searched help, all I see is a bunch of ninny suggestions like check if it is running in compatibility mode.
    Itunes used to work with:
    Itunes v7.7 + v7.3.1 Quicktime
    (I did NOT use the standard itunes 7.7 installer, since it trys to install Quicktime 7.5)
    Basically I'm looking for Apple or someone to tell me what are the files causing the problem so I can bypass it.
    This is highly aggravating because we have 2 iphones now that are not able to sync because I updated them to v2.1 which doesnt work with v7.7 of itunes.
    I do not actually use quicktime, so if there is a way to trick itunes 8 into thinking the latest quicktime is installed, that would be ok with me too.

    I am going to try these solutions to see if they help. I need to backup my computer before doing so though, I dont want to lose everything.

  • Security Update (QuickTime 7.1.6) has an invalid signature. Not installed.

    I installed QuickTime 7.1.6 on XP Pro SP2. I chose the option to make it available to All Users. I am now logging in on the same account that I used to perform the installation. That account is an Administrator account.
    When Apple Update runs on my new QuickTime installation, it says a Security Update is available, plus iTunes. I uncheck iTunes and proceed with the security update. It gives me this error message:
    Security Update (QuickTime 7.1.6) has an invalid signature. It will not be installed.
    I tried Tools > Download Only and it fails with this message:
    Security Update (QuickTime 7.1.6) has an invalid signature. The download has been removed.
    I tried manually downloading the security update directly from the Apple site. I get the full download no problem. When I run the msi package, I get this message:
    The system administrator has set policies to prevent this isntallation.
    Reading posts on this forum, I looked at registry keys and permissions. The HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\QuickTime.QuickTime key owner was Administrators. The owner of the QuickTime keys under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\QuickTime is Kevin (me, also an Administrator). I modified QuickTime.QuickTime so Kevin is the owner, made sure it trickled down to all subkeys, and the problem persists. No change in behavior.
    What do I do now?

    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.

    The Lenovo System Update installed the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.9.2.1002" right before the Windows Upgrade got broken. So in the Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, I choose Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, on the Driver Tab, I choose the option "Roll Back Driver" and after rolling back the driver and restarting the OS, now Windows Update is working like a Champ!
    The End!
