    There is a very good reason to uninstall QuickTime for Windows. Two vulnerabilities found and Apple stopped updating QuickTime for Windows.

    Note: QuickTime for Mac OS x is still supported and updated.

  • Is it true that Quicktime for Windows must be uninstalled

    Read this today on 9to5 Mac


    QuickTime for Windows is no longer supported by Apple and users should uninstall the program immediately. It's most recent WARNING from the US Department of Homeland Security, following a report by Trend Micro , saying that the software is vulnerable to both zero-day exploits.

    The Windows version of QuickTime 7 has not been updated since January, and Apple will not release security patches to fix the exploits. QuickTime for Mac is not affected, although it is also supported by Apple.

    As others have noted, QuickTime 7 is has not been updated to be compatible with Windows since Windows 7. FYI, here's a doc support for the Uninstall.

    Stop using XP in April 2014.

    Although I know that some companies still using Windows 2000, so...

    You're not real specific-, but the basic answer to your question is to find a list of the updates through the catalogue and download/save to some media.  Integrate as much as possible in support of installation that you plan to use after the date of 'dead' of the then 13 year operating system and several.

    Drivers are not the responsibility of Microsoft unless it happens to be Microsoft hardware.  Go through the manufacturer (and it is possble the manufacturer will be * no * drivers for older operating systems supply - like XP.)

  • How can I remove updates for Windows Vista? Duplicates are KB976325, KB973917, KB974318. The system still wants to install updates and just duplicates on again once. First update list has 20, second and third about 18.

    Duplication did not begin until I tried to load the list of updates.  Continues to tell me the same updates are available and download them if allowed.  Only the update that has been update group above that does not DOWNLOAD is Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista, which I am downloading now. When I go to 'historic day' to remove duplicates as indicated in the instructions for help. duplicates above are not listed. Of the; folding situation is on a Gateway laptop.  I am writing this issue on my Gateway PC.

    LiveUpdate install updates for your Symantec/Norton application only.

  • How can I download itunes and quicktime for windows 7 (64 bit)

    I'm trying to download the most recent, or any other version of itunes on my PC which has Windows 7 (64-bit).  I don't have Quicktime and looking to download or install Itunes or each, quicktime and itunes, separately (everything is better and market).

    The problem is that my PC with Windows 7 is 64-bit and I can't find the right version/s download.

    Facts: firstly - I downloaded itunes and received an error that I need to download QuickTime, then I downloaded quicktime with itunes and and received an error message that qtime was for 32 not 64 bit and I need the 64-bit version.  I can't find the combo of the two download requests or quicktime on its own compatible for windows 7 64 bit.

    Help, please...

    You can find good download here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ you want to check the box at the bottom (64-bit) (circle).

    iTunes and Quicktime are installed as part of the same package.

  • Cannot install Quicktime for Windows XP - "network resource is unavailable.

    OK, here are a few basic rules on this issue:

    1. I use Quicktime.msi version 7.72.80.56 on a Windows XP system.

    2 Quicktime MUST be installed from a batch file.  Do not ask why or try to tell me how to do that or tell me there is more easy or better ways to do it.  If you can't help with an command line to the batch file install only, please do not respond.

    3. it is a new PERFECTLY any new installation of Windows XP.  There is NOTHING else on this system.  There has been NO other program of ANY SORT (not Quicktime, not ITunes, not any program from any provider never) installed before on this OS at all.  This operating system has already been used for any purpose.  There was not a single open web page, not only one other task run manually after the installation.  These are all FACTS that are not open to speculation or discussion.  If you want to try to tell me that something is corrupt in my operating system or that there is another program interfering, or that I have a virus, don't answer please.

    4 ONLY Quicktime must be installed.  Period.  If you want tell me trying to install ITunes, or a 3rd party, program, please do not respond.

    Sorry to be a jerk to this topic but I've lost all patience with people who try to tell me that I don't want what I said I mean really or I want something different than what I said that I wanted.  I don't want really really exactly what I'm saying I want.  Trying to prove that you know more that I am offering opinions as to why I should use some program 3rd party or saying that I would not install from a batch file does nothing more to irritate me and lost time that all parties concerned should focus on more useful efforts.

    Now to the questions:

    I try to install Quicktime via a batch file.  I have extracted the QuickTime.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, and AppleApplicationSupport.msi (from QuickTimeInstaller.exe with switch/extract) in the C:\Windows folder.  My batch file is also located there.  Here's what I have in the batch file (only functional lines, other unrelated stuff has been removed):

    @echo installation QuickTime.msi (1/3)

    msiexec /i "C:\Windows\QuickTime.msi" / passive DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS = No. SCHEDULE_ASUW = 0 ASUWINSTALLED = 0

    @echo 1/3 installed!

    @echo installation QuickTime.msi (2/3)

    msiexec /i "C:\Windows\AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi" / passive

    @echo 2/3 installed!

    @echo installation QuickTime.msi (3/3)

    msiexec /i "C:\Windows\AppleApplicationSupport.msi" / passive

    @echo 3/3 installed!

    del %SystemRoot%\Tasks\AppleSoftwareUpdate.job

    This operation fails with no feedback at all.

    Then I tried to type manually in the following:

    msiexec /i "C:\Windows\QuickTime.msi".

    This translates into a window telling me that it can't find QuickTime.msi and it is looking for the following: c:\docume~1\benchm~1\locals~1\temp\ixp927.tmp.  There no record on the system named point mark, or anything similarly similar to this name.  This is an invalid path and name of the file on this computer.

    If I press the Browse button and point to the correct location for QuickTime.msi (C:\Windows), it will work correctly, but is not an option.  It must run unattended and automatically since the batch file.

    Is there a switch (or any other means without assistance) to indicate to the program that QuickTime.msi is located in C:\Windows?  I also tried:

    msiexec /i "% ~ dp0QuickTime.msi" and it also fails.

    The extracted .msi files are not corrupt, they will install if I run them manually, but still, this is not an option.

  • QuickTime, export error QuickTime for Windows is unable to export H.264 on computers with more than 16 cores of CPU because of a problem in the Apple H.264 compressor component. Export error Incompatible Video Codec found in the preset

    I get now after a recent update this error pop up.  I already tried to reinstall QuicktimePro and I am still getting this error.  Any thoughts on what may cause this problem and how can I solve it?

    Thank you

    Media Encoder QuickTime H.264 encoding is based on the QuickTime component provided by Apple.  Unfortunately, the version Windows of QuickTime from Apple does not support the 16 + processor cores.  Unless Apple corrects this problem on their own, we cannot do this work on Media Encoder.  Another solution is to use encoding H.264 (.mp4) and it works on any CPU configuration.

  • QuickTime Player 7.7.9 for Windows failed to initialize error 2096

    I tried to open QuickTime Player 7.7.9 in Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 with the latest updates for February 2016 and a pop-up message with the message of: QuickTime failed to initialize error 2096. There was also something to check that the application has been installed correctly.

    I opened the Panel configuration/programs and features/QuickTime 7 and selected repair. Open Setup ran the repair and closed. I restarted the computer and I tried to run QuickTime player with the same result. I uninstalled QuickTime player, restarted the computer, downloaded and installed QuickTime Player from the Apple web site.

    I tried to run the new QuickTime Player that sent the same message.

    I have somehow found and executed the installer of QuickTime Player 7.7.6 (1680.95.31). I am able to access the QuickTime Player. I checked the updates and ran the update for 7.7.9 and get once more: QuickTime failed to initialize error 2096.

    Any ideas why 7.7.9 does not work to me that computer gremlins are playing with my mind.
