Why two QuickTimes with Apple Software Update in Vista under Boot Camp?

Running Apple software update in BootCamped Vista, I see selection for 1) QuickTime, 2) Safari, 3) iTunes & QuickTime.
Items 1) and 3) are by default checked for download. Why would I want to download QuickTime twice??

Hi!
Funny you should mention that! Same thing happened to me yesterday, I was downloading Boot camp 2.1 and there were the other three downloads you mentioned. I downloaded them anyway. I now have Safari 3.2.1 (etc.) on my Windows partition. Why did I do that ? To be frank I do not know!! Now you have all three on the Windows partition.

  • Unable to uninstall QuickTime and Apple Software Update

    HELP US
    This is really screwed up. I got the notice to update to 10, ran the update, threw an error about looking for a file, quicktime.msi. Nowhere on my machine. I followed the troubleshooting tips. I am now unable to uninstall Quick Time, still looking for the quicktime.msi. Unable to uninstall the Apple Software Update, looks for applesoftware.msi. I spent 3 months moving my entire music directory to itunes, now I cannot update/add music to my wifes ipod, or my mother in laws ipod, both 8 gig and now I am not sure if I want to get the 32 gig ipod touch. When I try and download version 10, once again it looks for quicktime.msi, cannot find it, fails to install quicktime and of course itunes does noT install. Now what? anybody got a copy of the two .msi's?
    Is there anyone out there from apple to help us?

    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any *Apple Software Update* and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Upgrade to I-Tunes 7.4.2 with Apple Software Update for Windows

    I upgraded to I-Tunes 7.4.2 and that went great. But I was also offered an Apple Software Update for Windows which would not install. The error message said something about a part of it not being able to run. Is this a Vista thing? I still have Windows XP and don't plan to change to Vista. Will I have issues with newer versions of I-Tunes if I can't get this Software Update for Windows to install?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the replies, but what I am hoping for is a solution.
    Even though I asked, you never said if you have an ASU 2.0.0.21 ... so this solution runs the risk of being irrelevant to your situation. (It applies to the issue of ASU 2.0.0.21 on an XP PC returning an "invalid signature" message when trying to download an ASU 2.1.0.101.)
    If that's what you've got here, then usually a software installer bundle from Apple which contains a higher version of ASU than the 2.0.0.21 will install on the PC in question.
    (Avoid using the BonJour for Windows 1.0.4 standalone installer just at the moment, as a precaution. Last time I checked, about 20 minutes ago, that still contained an ASU 2.0.0.21, and that won't get you any further forward than you currently are ... assuming that you've currently got an ASU 2.0.0.21 in place.)
    So download and install another Apple installer bundle. Here's a link through to the QuickTime Standalone installer, although the Safari for Windows or iTunes installer would also work:
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    That should, as part of the install, update your ASU to version 2.1.0.101. To check on that, launch ASU ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"), go "Help > About Apple Software Update" and check the version number. If you're now at ASU 2.1.0.101, you're past the problem with ASU 2.0.0.21 returning an 'Invalid signature" message when trying to install an ASU 2.1.0.101 (assuming that's the particular problem you were actually experiencing).
    You can then uninstall QuickTime for Windows (or Safari for Windows, or iTunes and QuickTime and Apple Mobile Device Support, depending on what installer you used to update your ASU version) through your Add/Remove programs control panel.

  • Need help with apple software update error

    some time ago i must have installed some update that maybe wasnt apple approved, or i dont know exactly waht happened, but i did a virus scan i had a bunch, got rid of them, and am now trying to reinstall itunes(i uninstalled because it was acting funny probably because of the viruses) and i cant because it has an apple software update that is preventing the new install from occuring when i go to add/remove it telle me that "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable", ive tried to find the file applesoftwareupdate.msi, but nothing. so what can i do, i just got an ipod touch and i cant f ing use it, please please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'd recommend trying to uninstall everything - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 .
    If that doesn't resolve it, I'd recommend going through it, or try installing through another user if you're able to.

  • HT1926 I cannot connect my iphone to itunes. When I go through the troubleshooting, it tells me to uninstall and re-install itunes. BUT I do not have Apple Software Update or Quicktime to uninstall. It tells me that Apple Services failed to start!! Please

I then re-install Itunes but I get an error saying that 'Service Apple Mobile failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start'. Which I have.  Please help!!

    I have the same problem, did you find a solution?

  • Should I let it install "Apple software update for windows 2.0.2"?

    Thanks, in advance... it may just be a ditz of a question.
    Running Vista and when in Mac occasionally run Parallels, Apple Software Update window popped and this update appeared:
    Apple software update for windows 2.0.2 with the description
    "This update includes general fixes and renews the root certificate that authenticates software delivered via Apple Software Update."
    I figure it was logical enough considering the obvious link but the description just looked to vague. So, I put it off... today searching the internet, Apple Help and so on for this "update" cannot find it anywhere. I have already had problems with file corruption so "fixing root certificates" unnecessarily is not ideal.
    Anyone else know one way or another or just tell it to go away for good?
    Thank you,
    Kylie

    I never actually use Software Update excep to tell me there is something (if I hadn't read about it). I go to the standalone downloads. There was one for QuickTime for Windows that you DO want.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    It sounds like Software Update for Windows, and that probably does deserve installing (I use x64 and don't really trust support yet or installers from Apple for now) so I have Apple software update in vista turned off.
    I do have the 9-17-2007 2.0.2 "Apple Software Update for Windows" installed.
    Why I don't trust Apple: alerts and UAC's are always hidden behind the installer window in front. I just tried to close the windows or dialogue box for Apple Software Update Preferences, it asked for UAC and went black, but I can't even close the box even though all I did was hit "Okay" button. So its 'hung' now.
    Apple needs to improve the installer for Vista - a lot. I like not having to type a password every time, that has gotten old after 6 yrs.

  • How do I get Windows "Apple Software Update" tool point to my local server?

    I have a Mac OS X Server, with Apple Software Update server running.
    I also have Windows machines, with Safari, iTunes, and Apple Software Update, of course.
    I would like the Windows version of Apple Software Update to point to my local ASU server. There isn't a preference for that, but there should be a registry entry, I would think.
    Is this possible, if so how?
    Thanks,
    -Dan.

    I can't accept this. According to Apple (http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/L355781BSoftwrUdtTB.pdf),
    "Mac OS X Server also supports hosting Apple updates for software running in Boot Camp, such as iTunes and QuickTime for Windows."
    I have already figured out that you can set a registry value that will make Apple Software Update for Windows talk to a different server to find updates, I just don't know how to get Software Update Server to cache the updates for Windows software.

  • Apple Software Update Blank List Issue

    Hello,
    I am experiencing a wide-spread issue with apple software update on windows. In an attempt to update itunes and quicktime, apple software update is run but comes up with a blank list (see figure 1). This has happened on 3 machines that were freshly imaged (with an older version of itunes), and 5 machines that have been in use for months/years. Operating systems include windows vista, 7 and 8 Release Preview; they all have varying internal specifications.Some computers are x32 others are x64. I have also had a friend who is outside of the network system the other mentioned computers are in, in an attempt to use software update. He came across the same results. Also as a note, the current versions of itunes that are being targeted to be updated range from 10.5 to 10.6.1.7.
    I have attempted running a repair on apple software update on one machine, with no change.
    Has anyone else experience this issue? I see one other similar discussion post at the moment found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18688827#18688827
    But no where else am I seeing mention of issues of this sort.
    Thanks for any input!
    -Rob

    I FIXED IT!! I can't believe it . I actually figured out how to make it work(well sort of). My Apple Software Updater now works (almost) perfectly and I just successfully downloaded and installed itunes 10.6.3.25 through it!!!
    Ok , the way I see it, either the latest itunes update or the recent Windows Patch Tuesday on June 12th, 2012 must have inadvertently removed the Administrative Rights from the Apple Software Update Tool .lnk file.
    So you must go to where the file resides on your hard drive - for me that was C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs - Right click on the Apple software Tool icon and choose properties. Click on the compatibility tab. At the bottom of this tab click on "change settings for all users" and hit Yes at the UAC pop-up. Now make sure you place a check in the "Run this program as Administrator" under the Privilege level section at the bottom. Hit Apply and then OK. The hit Ok again to get off the properties pop-up.
    When I went back and clicked on the Apple Software Update shortcut, I got a UAC pop-up asking me if I wanted to proceed(something I had always, in the past, gotten but haven't since this problem started). The Apple Software Update tool came up and to my suprise the progress bar STAYED and started to slowly fill up partially with the green progress bar. Viola, the itunes 10.6.3 update showed up on the top part of the screen as a new update needing to be installed - the bottom screen, as usual, had the changelog info for the 10.6.3 update. I clicked on install and , again, Viola. the update downloaded and installed flawlessly. I had to reboot my computer and when it restarted, itunes was working perfectly and it was correctly showing as itunes v10.6.3.25.
    I say it is almost or sort of fixed because when you click on the Apple Software Update shortcut after the 10.6.3 install it goes back to doing the same thing it did before(i.e. processing for a second and then saying there are new updates but showing a blank field). Maybe this is the way the software now looks if there are no updates available to install - maybe Apple is working on this to eventually get it back to normal. All I know is the process I outlined above worked for me(at least to get the ASU to recognize and properly download and install itunes 10.6.3). It's certainly not perfect, but it worked. Please try this method and let me know what results you have with it. Good luck.

  • Slow Apple software updates

    Hi everyone
    I've got a really strange issue with Apple software updates. I'm with TalkTalk in the UK and for the past 2 weeks, software updates are silly. As in kb/s and something like 7MB taking 5 mins or so. Currently, speedtest shows download of 73.27 Mbp/s and upload of 16.78 Mbp/s. Clean install of Yosemite and currently shows 23 hours to update to 10.10.2.  If i download this update direct from Apple as a .dmg, it's around 5 mins.
    Everything else runs like lightning, and it's not just this machine. I repair quite a few and upgrade yet get this on every one when doing updates for anything. 10.6 to 10.10. Spoke to TalkTalk and might as well have been chatting to the dog. Wondering whether it's something like TalkTalk changing which Apple server they now direct me to as this has never been an issue until 2 weeks ago.
    Have rebooted everything, etc. This is on clean installs and on current updates.  Very odd and hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    Sorry but tried that, and pretty much everything. Found a page discussing bypassing proxy settings for apple servers, changed DNS, still the same.
    I've currently got my iMac (10.8.5), a Mac Mini (10.10) and a MacBook Pro (10.10.1), all exactly the same issue. Even little files such as RAW updates are taking 10 mins. Any third party updates i may have via the app store as as normal and super fast, just actual Apple updates.
    Can't see it's a system setting as across 3 machines on different OS's so it would have to be router or provider issues i would think. The router seems fine as nothing untoward on there and literally everything else is fine. Browsing and downloads from elsewhere all normal.
    Very odd one...
