I have QuickTime 7.4.5, but I'm 100% sure that QuickTime updates are OK. All they do is install a new version of QuickTime.

Works on my AMD system using Zephyroth's ASU 0.5. It did find some CPUID's so if you have an AMD machine be sure to run Marvin's or update with the ASU app.

hello,
update went fine except that now safari is crashing everytime
warning says:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[162]: CPSGetProcessInfo(): This call is deprecated and should not be called anymore.
I found that it can be linked to RAM excess problem ( ie : 4 GB )
or because I used the wizard for transfer DATAS and soft and that I rather install everything again, but manually. I avoid that I'd prefer an other solution...
any idea ?

I got restart and shutdown to work after this update.
After updating to 10.5.3 with kalyways combo I have tried alsorts of fixes to get shutdown and restart to work properly. Old kernels, modified kernels AppleACPIPlatform.kext etc.
But after this update I can run vanilla 9.3 and AppleACPIPlatform.kext 1.0.3 and shutdown and restart, before the system shut down but the machine was still pwered with fans running.
Now that works

You're saying the QuickTime 7.5 update solved your shutdown-restart problems, is that right?

It seems that way, as I couldnt shut down properly last night, but after the update I can. Sounds contradicting to the common saying "Its safe to update, as it is "just" Quicktime"
But I havent messed with anything else. Actually the updater couldnt restart the machine either, but since I have installede it works.

Well it is what it is, I guess, but it sounds most unusual that there should be any cause and effect there.

The quicktime update works at my kalaway install, but after updating my iTunes stopped working...
The only thing it's doing is starting up, loading for a very long time and then I get an error about "the application shut down unexpectedly"
It also refers to an file called QuickTimeComponents.component, so I re-installed that file, but it didn't work..
Does anyone have an idea what it might be?

I have the same problem.
I'm runing Kalaway 10.5.2 install on an AMD 6000+ machine.
Till now everything worked just perfect, but after applying aviable updates (except 10.5.3 update), my iTunes broke as well as quicktime itself.
Is there a fix for it?
I really wouldn't want to install my system again as it is was running perfect till now.

Hmmmm...
Solved.
I updated my system to 10.5.3 through AMD updater utility following tutorial for amd machines that I found on the forums and fixed audio and nvidia kexts after the update.
Now, everything is as it should be. Even the system feels a bit faster, but that could be wrong perceprion on my side.
In any case, the system is stable and running all the apps it ran before the problem occured.

I´m having problems since I installed the 7.5 update. Playback is choppy. Downgraded to 7.4.5 (I think) with the pacifist, and went ok. Then, after reading posts on the apple support site, I removed every alien plugin from the /Library/QuickTime/, upgraded to 7.5 and stuck again on a retarded quicktime...
Like the thing isn´t hardware accelerated, guess what? frontrow and itunes are ok fullscreen with all their glory...
Any clues? Is it the kext for my ati GPU? what could be broken in this version???

Installed Quicktime 7.5 update, and now my Kalyway 10.5.3 installation won't boot!!!
After installing kaly's 10.5.3 update i had to fix the nvinject by using this method:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...c=107899&hl=
I also installed Quicktime 7.5 before rebooting. Now it won't boot! The first 2 times I got a kernal panic, now when I start using -v it always stops saying "No network stack object."
Anyone know what the problem is? Was it Quicktime 7.5 or the NVinject fix? Please help if you can! Thanks.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it

Can't imagine that QuickTime 7.5 does anything that its worth a risk to an install?

Hi pontiac,
In my case, after updated to QT 7.5 everything look normal. Everything ... except ProTools.
Playhead moves jerky and choppy.
The rare thing is that all my problems are related with ProTools. Only in ProTools slow and continuous mouse movements are translated as jerky cursor movements in screen.
Don't know how to resolve this conflic.
How did you downgraded to 7.4.5 with the pacifist?
I would like to give it a try.
Thanks pontiac

I did a search in google with "Downgrade QuickTime".
The very first link was hxxp://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime.html
I followed the steps described there and everything return to normal in my hackintosh.

I also have the choppy playback problem since QT 7.5 and also with 7.5.5. I found on Apple Support Fora the hint to exchange /System/Library/Frameworks/QTKit.framework with the one from QT 7.4.5 (I used Pacifist to do that) and now Video Playback is fine and I'm able to use latest FCP at the same time.
