Pro Video Format 2.0.1 ask me to update it in MAS repeatedly in loop

I was able to fix this by downloading the update from Apple Support, opening the package file with Pacifist, selecting the top-level item, and hitting the Install button. Pacifist installed it perfectly, and the update notices disappeared.

I'm not sure what the problem was, but I noticed that the update contained Application Support files for Compressor that Apple's Installer did not install. In fact, the Installer removed the Compressor folder when I created one!

I think maybe Apple got all the file and folder permissions wrong too, because after installing with either the Apple Installer or Pacifist, Disk Utility had a lot of permissions clean-up to do.

Thanks a MILLION !!! This solution worked 100%. I had Pro Video Formats showing up 5 times in my installed updates.

Also thanks for showing me a new app Pacifist, very useful indeed.

You should give AaronShep the approved answer this works!

Thank you I have been wondering why this Showed many times ✅

So it confirms that the Apple installer is broken and not registering it as being updated, Pacifist install fixed it (now to clean up the 'updates installed in the last 30 days'), Pacifist says the Package does not have a signature.

I sent Apple a bug report about the install loop

Thank you. Solution worked perfectly!

Thank you! That really saved my day!

Awesome, it worked! Thanks! Apple seems to be messing up quite a bit with 10.10.3.

I tried the above. When i click on install it says "items already exist do you want to replace it" and I click on the blue button many times and finally gave up and cancelled the extraction. I have only installed once from App Store. I am certainly doing something wrong, sorry for my ignorance, what exactly did you mean "the top level PKG" that will say the pkg that is the first in the row ?

Thank you

Click on the first item called "Contents of Pro Video Formats.dmg" and then click install and say yes to replace all and "don't ask me again for this installation"

Thank you so much MKZA, this was the solution.

Thank you AaronShep,

I had the same exact issue (Apple what are you doing?) and I was able to solve it with the provided procedure. Awesome!

thank for 🙂🙂🙂 AaronShep

Just spent ages trying to find the download - it is here on Apple Support site:

https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

It works great AaronShep ... thank you a lot !

I re-installed the update 8 times: it is possible to remove the many previous updates from the list of of "Installed updates in the last 30 days" ?

Thank you :-)
