MasterBeta Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Okay, so, I updated Quicktime to 7.5 and now QuickTimeComponents.component is causing iTunes to crash whenever it tries to access it, it seems (album art, CoverFlow, etc.). I read in another thread on this forum from a little while back that you can replace the component with the same one from Quicktime 7.3. Problem is, I can't find a Quicktime 7.3 DMG anywhere on the internet. I was wondering if someone here with Quicktime 7.3 installed could just upload QuickTimeComponents.component for for me? That would be awesome.. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have QuickTime 7.4.5, I'm uploading the components file right now. I'll post the link when its done. EDIT: Here you go:http://www.mediafire.com/?ntdlnjdcmhw This is from QuickTime 7.4.5 on OS X Leopard 10.5.2. Hope it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBeta Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Thanks for the quick response, pcwiz. Unfortunately, I just tried it out, and it didn't work (it actually gave me a new error too... From the crash log: Thread 0 Crashed: 0 ...ickTimeComponents.component 0x15bf3a87 cos.A + 527 1 ??? 0x0f401f5a 0 + 255860570 Before, it only had "....ickTimeComponents.component" so I'm guessing the version mis-match caused a problem. Well, could there be another solution to this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Maybe you should post in the Apple Discussions forums, they generally have a better idea of how Mac OS X as an OS works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorenson45 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I think I may have solved this problem, at least if you are on an AMD system. I ran Marvin's AMD utility on /System/Library/Quicktime and patched the CPUID in quicktimecompontents.component and it seems to have fixed the crashing.

NµLL Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Sorry to bump and old thread, but I thought I'd post a solution with instructions on how I solved this problem for anyone who finds this in a search. I did this after reading Sorenson45's comment, so really its his solution, but I would like to make it clear for any AMDOSX users having problems. First get Marvin's AMD utility: http://rapidshare.com/files/65445720/Don_t_Panic.zip.html Click on "Create Packer Package" and browse to /System/Library/Quicktime and click Run. After it finishes scanning it will say how many CPUIDs it found along with how many encrypted. Mine found 0 encrypted and 2 CPUIDs. Finder should come in to focus with the "cpuid.txt" file. Back in Marvin's AMD util. Click "Patch all CPUIDs using cpuid file" and uncheck "simulation mode". Browse to the cpuid.txt file you just made and select it. Browse to /System/Library/Quicktime on the second browse box and Click run. When everything's done it should have fix the problem. This problem is not limited to just iTunes, but I've had it in Final Cut 7, Compressor, After effects (when using Apple system codecs), and Even in DVD Studio. (similar crash as OP) Hope this helps fellow googlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
