Hi All,
iTunes 10.4 is failing to launch, I continually get an error which reads "iTunes quit unexpectedly".
I ran a trace on /var/log/system.log and the error being report at launch time reads:
"The plugin 'Quartz Composer Visualizer' failed to load because it has the wrong CPU architecture for this version of iTunes. (3585)"
Any idea what this is and why it would not be compatible with my Intel i7 proc.
Many thanks in advance,
Mitch
I see the same error in my log, but iTunes seems to run fine.
I had the same error message and removed the 'Quartz Composer Visualizer' plug-in. iTunes seemed to load faster afterwards. Bt now the console gives me the error message that the 'Quartz Composer Visualizer' plug-in could not be found. So any way to remove references to the 'Quartz Composer Visualizer' in iTunes or a way to install a working version of the plug-in.
Just go into "/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins" and remove it.
My iTunes is running o.k. with the Quartz Composer Visualizer, but only after setting iTunes to open in 32-bit mode.
So, if you are very fond of the Visualizers you could try that, otherwise just remove the plugin as recommended by Michael K.
Thanks, that fixed the error for me as well 🙂
