Want to un-update (or downgrade) Quicktime 7.3

hey all,
i have OSX 10.3.9 and made the mistake of upgrading quicktime...because it won't open. it just says it's not responding. Is there anyway to get an earlier version of QT?

QuickTime is the OS's graphic side and very different from 6 to 7 and the 3.9 and 7 combo changes the way the OS uses the hardware all around sending as much as it can to the GPU and will render a minimally supported machine about useless with better performance on an unsupported machine w/no CoreImage support and less than 32MB VRAM as the PPC handled graphics just fine.
Why archive and install for a single component/app? The receipts are what QT updater and the installer looks for to see what's on your system and adds and deletes as appropriate.

Pacifist is for those who don't know what they are doing as it provides a GUI to make it easy. IMO an excellent program though Apple started providing install discs that allows you to install individual components in one of the releases of 10.3. making it somewhat obsolete. Apple themselves had two "downgrades" for QuickTime as many (like this poster) had experienced serious performance and functionality hits due to compatibility issues. Unfortunately they do not work on this version
If you have a healthy system to start with why in the world would you bother re-installing anything?
The best bet if you're going to archive and install is to stop at OS 10.3.7 and QT 6 and disable Software Update. And if, like myself, you've invested in a newer machine that can't run anything less than OS 10.3 you're screwed.

I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

Firefox doesn't update plugins like that. The worst you might see is a "nag" from Firefox after an update, about that plugin being outdated; and you can dismiss that "nag" by just closing it.

Problem with HP Media Centre M7670.UK-a - won't boot after installing an update to Apple Quicktime

I just installed the latest update to Apple Quicktime (after an update message appeared on the screen). When asked if I wanted to re-boot the PC now, I clicked on Yes.
Now the computer won't boot. The power light comes on, then the disk drive light flashes for a moment, then nothing else happens and the PC starts to beep. The beeps are repeating, with 2 short beeps and one long beep. What do the beeps mean?

Then a clear CMOS would be the next logical troubleshooting step.
Here is a link to your motherboard specifications.
The information on clearing CMOS is at the bottom of the document.
This is usually the last step before giving up on a motherboard.
The problem you are facing is motherboard hardware firmware related.

Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

Exception processing message 0xc0000013 after updating itunes and Quicktime

After updating itunes and Quicktime, every time I remove a CD from my DVD drives I get an error saying no disk exception processing message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x759f023c 0x87f51934 0x759f023c 0x759f023c.
I tried doing a restore to a time before that update and that didn't seem to help. It just gave me different parameters.
I'm using Windows Vista and this is driving me nuts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have the same problems as you guys after installing Corel Painshop Pro X12. I went into the task list and stop the CorelIOMonitor process and then the problem went away. I found out that you can disable this from starting up using System Configuration tool via Start -> Run -> msconfig
. It's an interm solution untell they fix it. Maybe someone needs to notify Corel or Apple to fix this problem.

Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

Can anyone help with this?
Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad? Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there. If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device. If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts. Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done. See if the duplicates are still there.

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.

Upgrade the computer’s OS, or switch to a product such as Firefox.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Flash Player wants to be updated all the time

I am running FireFox 3.6.9, and have upgdated Flashplayer to 10.1 r53 (the latest) I keep getting notified when checking my plugin updates that Flash wants to be updated and is vulnerable with more info message of
This Plugin version has a security vulnerability etc.
Is this just a glitch or should I just give up with flash player, it seems to work fine but if it has a security problem I will just give it a miss as I have had enough security problems with other programs and do not need any with this.
Can anyone advise what I should do with this?

Hi lasaboy Glad you received a reply from Firefox. I had not heard they were updating with the previous version of Flash Player. The previous versions of Flash Player must always be Uninstalled however. I'll check that info out.
Thanks for sharing, as many users are having problems with Firefox and Flash Player 10.1.

Hi mackinaw66,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend restarting your computer to see if that helps:

Should I auto update iTunes and Quicktime?

the System update asks me to update iTunes and Quicktime but I think the versions are incompatible to this version.
This computer is old dog slow. Would it be slower if i upgraded to the latest OS? Is it even possible.
Thanks.

I have apps that want to get updated but when i try to update them, the progress bar appears but also dissapeares again, the app isnt updated..
I keep trying but i cant update the apps..

First reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the phone by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

I want all document updates and comment notifications on by default

I got it working and sending mail to exchange. But now I want to be able to control default notification settings. For example: Our company has a phone list in MS-Excel. When it is updated I was everyone to recieve a notification that it is updated. I don't want them to have any choice in the matter.
And I want all document updates and comment notifications on by default.

Hi iTunesDJ,
There is no way to do this. What I would do is put your Settings app on a page itself, so its out of your way. Just ignore your notifactions. I hope this helps!
Thanks,
