WinVista: QuickTime won't run, steps on Java JRE, destroys Java

Noticed my Java desktop apps no longer load after installing QuickTime. Also cannot get the QT player to load. It loads, and then immediately exits. Any suggestions?

You might want to try updating Java from the Java control panel. I recall answering a post where where that was the issue. The version I have is: Java Platform, Standard Edition 6. Version 1.6.0 (build 1.6.0_01-b06) which I believe is the latest update. A firewall could also be something to consider.

My accounts program won't run without legacy Java SE6 runtime since I upgraded to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it

My "Solar" accounts program won't run without "legacy Java SE6 runtime" since I upgraded my iMac desktop to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it, nothing happens when you click on the link to apple support

Okay, I'm not a Genius, but, I'm smarter than the one I spoke to at the Apple Store.They told me that they couldn't help me with Legacy Java SE6 Runtime. Adobe has the worst support in the industry so don't call them.
If you have a Time Machine backup, go to one that pre dates your install of Yosemite. Go to the System/Library/Java and drag copy the folder to your internal hard disk. Now you will need the Administrator password. Once copied, drag the old Java folder into your System/Library folder and when asked to replace, click OK. Restart your Mac and you will have use of your software that requires Legacy Java SE6 Runtime.
I'm totally done with Apple since they are trying to box me into a corner. Have fun kids.

ITunes + Quicktime won't run after install

I did an automatic upgrade to ITunes verson 8 from 7. After the upgrade, neither iTunes nor Quicktime would work. I then proceeded to do a complete uninstall of both items, to include deleting all directories and cleaning the registery so I could complete a fresh install of both items. After the fresh install, iTunes would work IF (and only if) it was started by the installation script. If I try to start iTunes after the installation, windows pops a window that says "Please wait while Windows configues iTunes," after which it prompts to restart the PC. This happens EVERY time. That is, iTunes will run ONE TIME correctly when it's started by the installation process at the conclusion of a fresh install, but it will not run again. Each time I get the windows message.
Quicktime will not run at all. It gives the error message "Error 41: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control." However, I can open the Quicktime preferences from the Control Panel.
I get no errors or any indications that the installation process had problems or that the items did not install correctly.
I'm running 32-bit Vista with SP1.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Quicktime won't run due to "Quicktime 7.msi" cannot be found

Hi,
My problem is described below -
Recently whenever I try to open Quicktime or run a Quicktime movie or even visit the Apple.com website, a window appears on my computer saying "Windows is preparing to install." Then it changes to "Please wait while Windows configures Quicktime 7.0" An blue indicator starts running on the window then stops. The window changes to a new message saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the instillation package 'Quicktime 7.msi' in the box below." The source link shown in the box, I've never heard of before. And I had no knowledge of even using that source. The window does not go away or resolve itself, since it cannot find that file to run Quicktime. I press cancel and the message says "An installation package for the product Quicktime 7.0 cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'Quicktime 7.msi'." with a button for OK. I'm left to press that button and then the window disappears, but the Quicktime program doesn't open and won't open because this window appears everything I try to open the program.
I've tried to download the recent Quicktime Player available on Apple.com, which is Quicktime 7.5.5 (I think, but it's whatever is on the website now). I've installed that version of Quicktime. Yet the same message continues to appear. I cannot find the Quicktime 7.msi file on my computer at all, I've searched for it many times and also cannot find anything on the internet that might help. I have been using Quicktime for the entire time I've had my computer - about 2 years - and never had a problem like this. I cannot open or use anything related to Quicktime because that window would appear and I can't get past it to play anything. And I don't know where I've gone wrong to cause this issue to come up.
If you have any suggestions or resolution, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Apparently windows 2000 does not meet the minimum requirements for QT7.5, so what you need to do is find out what version of QT7 does if one ever did, if not your probably going to have to install QT6.5, which may be the latest version 2000 can run?

Quicktime won't run movies

I posted this in the iMac forum, but it was pointed out to me that you guys are probably better qualified to help...
A friend sent me some Quicktime movie files to look at and my iMac won't open them. I get audio only, no visuals. They were created in QT 10 and I can only run QT 7.6. I get Apple's (very unhelpful) 'you need additional software to run this movie...' error message but they don't say what I need.
Has anyone found a video viewer out there that will run QT movies? Basically, I think I'm probably screwed, but...
My QT will happily run other stuff, just not this. And it's important...
Grateful for any inights
Thanks
David

Conversion won't work either! Handbrake says it's not a valid file...
Was afraid of that. VLC and HandBrake probably doesn't like the MPEG-2/PCM non-muxed data in the MOV file container. (Both normally expect the data to be in the more common muxed MPEG-2/MP1 layered or MPEG-2/AC3 program/transport stream container.) Basically, iMovie '08/'09/'11 make the content QT edit compatible by expanding the GOP P- and B-Frame MPEG-2 video to all I-Frame MPEG-2 frame edit compatible video and converting the AC3 audio to AIFF (linear PCM) audion and placing the data in an MOV file container along with start and/or end time offsets to minimize drift in A/V synchronication. This usually is not a problem as long as the files are played back on a system with iMovie '08/'09/'11 installed or the files are converted on the originating system to a more common/universal fompression combination like H.264/AAC for distribution to users not having a recent version of iMovie installed.
I'm stumped...
About the only other QT/MPEG Streamclip possibility might be to purchase the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99) which may be able to handle the the temporally synchronized M2V1/AIFF data in the MOV file container.
Can you post a sample segment for testing purposes. (I don't own an MPEG-2/AC3 camcorder, so I have no a I-Frame test video to experiment on.)

Illustrator cs6 won't run because of java

I installed a software version of illustrator about four days ago and it ran. today when I tried to open it up it said that it needed the latest version of java and wouldn't open without it. I installed the latest version from oracle, re-started the iMac, and it gave me the same message. what should I do?

Hello Jason,
I finally did get Illustrator to run by de-installing it and
reinstalling it with the recommended Java. It's a little scary, though
- it seems like a good way to assure everyone being on Cloud rather
than software downloaded Adobe stuff - I need it (and have used it)
for fifteen years with my company, but I do not think that they would
be keen on paying for a monthly service for graphics programs (it's
not an agency!) -
Thanks so much - the same problem might pop up again - I guess I
better get chummier with Corel Painter!

Sure hope I don't have this happen with InDesign. So far, no.

Quicktime won't run

hey, i've been trying to download the new itunes and quicktime, and ive already been through fixing one error that wouldn't let me d/l quicktime. now everytime i try to run quicktime it will open the .exe file then close, never bringing up the player or an error. because of that, itunes brings up a "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close message". what do i need to do to get both of them open.

replying to Coronagold
Error #-2093.
with that one, let's try this first.
uninstall QT from Add/Remove programs. then clear away any leftover program files and folders:
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1.3 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1.3 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 7.1.3 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
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.)

QT/your computer is trying to tell you it doesn't know how to play the content you are trying to watch. Install and use the appropriate QT codec component or dedicated media player for each particular type of streaming content you are trying to view. Basically you need to find out what compression format is being used and the select a component or player made to display it.

ITunes and Quicktime won't run

I had itunes and QT working fine when I bought my Ipod. I bought my son a Nano and that is when everything went bad. I have tried everything the apple website has to offer. I am at the point where I was able to download and install the latest version of itunes and QT from the Apple website. I installed each separately. They seemed to install fine. When I click on either of them they open for a second and then close with no error message. I am using Windows XP Home. I have an old version of Norton 2002 on the computer that is no longer operable. I tried unistalling it, and that disables by ISP login. Needless to say I have issues. Can anyone help, because Apple and Microsoft sure won't. Thanks,

hi dukefafl!
hmmm. if both itunes and QT are failing to open when you try to launch them (with no error messages whatsoever), the first thing i worry about is infestation of the PC by Qoologic adware. (usually with that, people will see a brief "flash" of an itunes license screen when they try to open itunes ... but the symptom isn't universal.)
the free trial version of Ewido has been been cleaning that up for most people:
ewido anti-malware download
if no joy with that, we'll try checking through a few of the rarer causes of the "error message free" launch failures. (Your Norton is unlikely to be the culprit in this case ... the error message free launch failure associated with that typically only hits people with NIS 2005.)

ITune & Quicktime won't run

I bought my girlfriend a IPOD Nano for Valentine's Day. When she tries to download ITunes and Quicktime on her 2004/2005 Dell with Windows XP Home Edition she gets an error message that says "ITunes has encountered a problem and has to shut down" and Quicktime says "Quicktime player has failed to initialize Error 2095, Please make sure Quicktime is properly installed on this computer."
We've removed and downloaded several times without any positive results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having the same problem with Quicktime... except my error code is 2096. Need help and very frustrated...

Quicktime in Tiger package won't run

I upgraded from system 9.1 to Tiger and both Quick time and iDVD won't run. A red exclamation point error message appears saying that these applications are not supported. Any suggestions? I also increased the memory and still nothing works.

I would suggest the usual steps, repair permissions, and delete QuickTime's .plist
<small>located in
[YourProfile]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist</small>
Otherwise, try to create a new Mac OS X user profile and see if that helps.
OR... try to re-install QuickTime.
Hope these help.

Action steps that won't run correctly in PSE 7/8/9 (but did in 4 and 6)

I have a wonderful action that was written to work in PSE 3/4/6. It won't run in PSE 7/8/9. After fooling around for a while, I think I understand why. Adobe changed the way Adjustment Layers are handled. In earlier versions of Photoshop and Elements, Adjustment Layers threw up a modal dialog box. That changed so that Adjustment Layers now appear in the Palette Bin as a palette.
Here a sample of some of the action steps that won't work correctly:
Make adjustment layer
Using: adjustment layer
Type: levels
Set Selection
To: none
Set current layer
To: layer
Name: “Adjustment 1”
Set current layer
To: layer
Mode: luminosity
Stop
Message: “Move gray slider left”
With Continue
Set current adjustment layer
To: levels
In earlier versions of PS and PSE, the way these steps would work is that a new adjustment layer would be created, the dialog box giving the instruction would open, it would be dismissed by clicking "Continue," and then the "Set current adjustment layer to: Levels" would generate a model adjustment layer dialog box would open up which would let one make the adjustment.
In newer versions, since Adjustment Layers are handled in the Palette Bin, after dismissing the instructions, the action doesn't stop to allow the user to make change the sliders on the adjustment layer.
The action runs perfectly in CS4 and CS5 and throws up the levels adjustment modal box as it did in PSE 4 and PSE 6, but the action doesn't throw the modal box in PSE 7/8/9
Does anyone know of a way to alter the action steps to allow the action to stop to allow the adjustment and then to resume again?

Adding a new levels adjustment layer on top of the Midtone contrast layer
should work, just use a clipping mask to restrict the adjustments to the
areas of the levels adjustment layer below. The histogram will be different, but
actually testing the action is really the only way to know if that makes any difference.
Replacing the levels adjustment layer is another option, though it requires a few more steps.
The following assumes when the action gets to this point,
the Midtone contrast adjustment layer is the active (selected) layer.
To record this part of the action:
1. Duplicate current channel (in the channels panel. drag the Midtone contrast mask
    down to the Create new channel icon at the bottom of the channels panel)
2. Ctrl+click on the newly created channel (Midtone contrast mask copy)
    This loads the selection of that channel.
3. Drag the new channel (midtone contrast mask copy) to the trash icon at the bottom
   of the channels panel.
4. Back in the layers panel, delete the Midtone Contrast adjustment layer.
5. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels
    This creates a new levels adjustment layer using the selection loaded from
    the duplicated channel and opens the levels dialog.
To load the RGB (composite) as a selection, Ctrl+click on the rgb in the channels panel
and the same is true for the red, green and blue channels.
With layer masks, elements doesn't seem to want to load them as selections in actions,
so that's the reason for the action steps above.

Java applets won't run on Safari???

I have reinstalled Java twice, and it still won't run any Java applets. It just sits there with the cup logo and the arrow on either side. It works fine on Firefox but not Safari. Help?

Hello
I'm piggy backing on this thread because I too have had problems with Java and Safari
Java runs fine for me in Firefox, however.
I went to a federal website
https://blrscr3.egs-seg.gc.ca/gol-ged/gov/browserdetection/BrowserCheck.html
that uses java and received this message
" Java applet unable to load
To use this service, you must either install a recent version of the Sun JVM or enable "Scripting of Java applets" if it has been disabled."
so i looked for an update and have downloaded and installed release 6, (at least, it said that it was installed, but have never been able to figure out where)
when I check Java preferences, the choices are J2SE 1.4.2 or J2SE 5, and when I've switched to 1.4.2 I still have no luck.
When i run firefox, i get the java console opening, but it doesn't open with safari, and I can't find the option for this to turn on in safari
i have restarted both safari and my computer and no luck. I have repaired permissions and no changes have taken place.
Any more suggestions?
(thank you, by the way)

Java won't run

I think I may have got a virus on my computer. My java won't run at all. When I put on the Flashback Checker it said it was clear but I still can't run java or update it. I'm on an OSX so the new updates won't go either. I'd really like to run java programs

It came with 10.5.8 and is updated using Software Update.
All you need to do is make certain it's enabled in both Java Preferences (found in /Applications/Utilities/) and in your browser preferences.
