MasterBeta Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Basically, I upgraded QuickTime to 7.5 and have been having problems with iTunes crashing on me when I try and view album art or use CoverFlow. From looking over the error report, I've traced the problem back to QuickTimeComponents.component. Removing this component from /System/Library/QuickTime/ stops iTunes from crashing, but makes album art not show up - and if I try to use CoverFlow, it still crashes. How can I remedy this?

lord_muad_dib Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 so.. i suppose you got an amd.., use marvin's utility on the component why don't you put pc specs on the signature?

tebi Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have Leopard 10.5.1 from Zephyroth and when I updated QuickTime to 7.5 it doesn't work anymore and iTunes won't play any more my mp3.Is there any way to revert QT to the previous version?ThanksOk, I fixed with Marvin's AMD Utility.Scan for binaries in /System/Library/QuickTimeThen patch in the same directory Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111258-quicktimecomponentscomponent-is-causing-itunes-to-crash/#findComment-788417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBeta Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yes, I do have AMD - sorry about that, forgot to include that little important detail. I'm running Kalyway's 10.5.2 AMD. I'll try Marvin's AMD Utility, but I haven't heard much about it. Is it pretty self-explanatory when you run it, or should I look online for instructions?

~pcwiz Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Its pretty self explanatory. You might as well just use "Patch all binaries" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111258-quicktimecomponentscomponent-is-causing-itunes-to-crash/#findComment-788554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBeta Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Okay I tried that and got an error: "WARNING! Unable to determine encrypted files to patch -- Stopping" The log shows that it found the CPUID that needed patching, but can't seem to get past that: ••• CPUID found in binary: /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTimeComponents ******************************************************************************** ***************************** *** Patching Installed Decrypts *** err006 - Neither decrypted/encrypted binaries file lists found Any ideas?

~pcwiz Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Did you use "patch all binaries"? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111258-quicktimecomponentscomponent-is-causing-itunes-to-crash/#findComment-788623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBeta Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 I did, but stupidly I was trying to speed the process up by pointing it only in the direction of the QuickTime component I needed to patch. I decided to try again, on the whole Leopard volume. It works now. Thanks!

Sandro111 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 i try to patch all Leopard's Volume with "Patch all binaries". Nothing! Ever the same error "WARNING! Unable to detemine encrypted files to patch -- Stopping" Please, help me!

Sandro111 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 up.... I've solved using not "Patch all binaries" but using first "Create Patcher package" and later "Patch all cpuid's using cpuid files" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111258-quicktimecomponentscomponent-is-causing-itunes-to-crash/#findComment-886777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevadabob Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi, i've got the same problem, itunes crashes because of the quicktime components file (My specs are below - it's an AMD). Trying to patch the file by selecting the directory it's in doesn't seem to work. it recognizes it needs patching but just doesn't do anything about it??? So at the moment I'm trying it now with the whole volume selected. I'm using the create patcher package option. Does anyone know what's wrong?? Thanks!

pvermeltfoort Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Had a similar issue involving the ~/Library/Quicktime/quicktimecomponents.component file, which may help... Attempting to compress a .mov file using Sorenson Squeeze and the app would crash trying to load the file...log refers to an issue with the quicktimecomponents.component file...research indicates the quicktimecomponents.component file resides in two locations, ~/Library/Quicktime folder and the ~/System/Library/Quicktime folder...removing the file from the ~/Library/Quicktime folder seems to resolve the issue...did not affect the Quicktime application...

Maniac10 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 If you're having binary problems, why don't you try voodoo kernel? with it you won't need to patch apps anymore, just give it a try.
