Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 Software Update

Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 Software Update appeared in my App Store updates a few days ago. I did the update and it reappeared a few hours later. I have now done it 4 times and its listed under updates installed in last 30 days 4 times. The last time I did this update was yesterday and its now reappeared again today as a required update.

Anyone know why this keeps reappearing when the update has been done.

Thanks

There seems to be some methods, here is what Apple has recomended. Remember to Repair permission after, which method you use.

1) Move all files from /Library/QuickTime/ to a temp older on desktop

2) Open AppStore and download/install update

3) Reboot

4) Copy any missing files from temp folder on desktop to /Library/QuickTime.

I'm having the same problems.

Here's what stopped the App Store Reload:

Delete all content (except "Core Audio" folder) in the "Library/Quicktime/" folder (copied to a temp folder elsewhere.)

Restart

Install Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 from direct download: "ProVideoFormats.dmg"

Restart

App Store shows everything for updates OK. Pro Video Formats cleared.

Next to determine from the QuickTime Library folder what formats can be reinserted.

Well I thought I had solved this problem 2 days ago but the Pro Video Format 2.0.1 update has just reappeared in my software updates.

I will need to try your method and see if it works for me.

I think the latest appearance is a fixed version that Apple have rolled out.

If you install it you shouldn't get prompted to update any longer.

Tried Tom's solution and I thought it worked (always grateful for his ideas), but the update just showed up again (after about a week). Have to talk to my boss about being able to install Pacifist (it's a work computer in a local government organization). If not, I'll have to wait until Apple gets their butts in gear and fixes it.

As I just said, the latest appearance on the app store is a fixed version.

Install it and the problem should go away.

How do you know it's a fixed version? There's no info that I can see that says so. If it is, that's great.

I don't know for sure, but I have two machines. On one of them I applied the manual fixes suggested by other users. On the other machine I didn't apply the manual fix because I was curious to see whether Apple would eventually fix this problem. Each day I would apply the update only to have it pop straight back up again. This morning, like you, I saw the update roll out again for the manually fixed machine, so I applied the update on both machines. Now neither of them are prompting me to reinstall the update. Therefore I think it's a safe assumption on my part.
