WARNING - QuickTime 7.0.4 Problems - Update Erases Other Applications

I agree. DO NOT INSTALL QT 7.0.4 !!!
Today I installed QT 7.0.4 on my PowerMac G4 867 with OS X 10.3.9.
QT don't open and every other quicktime dependant programs : iMovie, iPhoto, Final Cut Express, iDVD, DVD Studio Pro 4.
iTunes 6.0.2 is well working.
What to do to uninstall ?
Thanks to all, Patrick

Just wondering if this is why 7.0.4 was pulled and re-released. Did you install immediately upon release or did you install the one that was released later in the day?

Thanks for the answer.

First it is possible to uninstall 7.0.4 with an Apple uninstall program form 7.0.4 to 7.0.1 on http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime701reinstallerforquicktime704.ht ml

The answer : Quicktime, iMovie, iPhoto etc where installed and very well working until I install QT 7.0.4 this morning when the Apple Upgrade Program tell me that there were new version of iTunes and quicktime. Before I had 7.0.3 without any problem. I must uninstall 7.0.4 because I did not find any other answer to solve the problem

Didn't you think that this update were checked many times before release? Why it's would erase your applications??? You did it yourself for sure.

This happened to me too. when I restarted my iShock application came up as a question mark. I did do the uninstall but it did not fix that.

I installed Quicktime 7.0.4 and had no such problems.

In fact, I used Quicktime 7.0.4 to Export Movie to iPod, and it runs SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER than it did before the update.

Bravo to Apple for making Quicktime better.

Reyflem, I have no idea what you did, but I seriously doubt the update deleted the applications that you claim they did.

Good news,

Uninstalling Quicktime 7.0.4 with the Uninstalling program of Apple everything return to normal. So QT 7.0.4 seems to be responsible in my case. I will upgrade from 7.0.1 to 7.0.3 and everything will be good in the best world possible.
iTune 6.0.2 works fine.

I hope it will help somebody. Thanks for the answers. Patrick

I upgraded to QT 7.0.4 this morning. I had no idea people were having problems with this version. However, I do not seem to be having any problems as of yet - nothing seems to have been deleted.

Perhaps the upgrade problems have been fixed?

Using MM Dir/QTVR over mixed Mac / PC networks does not work correctly with 7.0.4

If you access a complex MM Dir/QTVR project on a Mac disk from a PC via network will cause the PC to hang badly (see other thread in this forum)

wow! 500 responses... while many of you are responding to the initial poster's concerns, a good number of you are describing a problem that I was able to fix on my machine... the problem where your volume on QT streaming video drops out/local mpgs have no sound and the video pauses after 10 secs. QuickTimeKirk pointed out a fix that I posted the steps to in this thread:

Ordinarily, my response to Reyflem would have been identical to yours. However, after watching 2 different applications disappear from the Dock yesterday, I wondered what could have caused it. I did not make the immediate connection that installation of Quicktime had done it. I simply wondered as to the nature of this one of a kind fluke, and let it go at that. My subsequent difficulty with exporting a file in Quicktime Pro brought me to the Discussion Boards, where I found quite a few people stating that they had lost applications after installing the upgrade. Only then did I begin to put 2+2 together. Upon careful examination, I am unable to find a folder in which I had stored some disk images. So, I have to say that although it seems that there ought to be no logical connection between installing the upgrade and losing files, I cannot argue with my own experience. Hoping that this helps.

Have you checked to see if the Applications you are missing are still in the Applications folder (/Applications/...)? I had the same problem when Software Updating many apps, and my iMovie icon in the dock was replaced by the grey question mark. However, after going into my Applications folder I saw that iMovie was still there. I dragged it back into my Dock and dragged out the question mark icon and all was right with the world again. It appears to me that the update may have corrupted the Dock plist somehow, but did not actually delete my apps. Has anyone seen a complete removal of an app from the (/Applications/...) folder due to a software update? If you are seeing grey question marks in the dock it may be a corrupted link, and your app is still safe elsewhere.
