Quicktime Update....


Numberzz

As it turns out, Apple's latest Quicktime update seems to be breaking some people's computers. The update, after it is installed and the computer restarts, brings you to the setup assistant. Weird, right? When finished with the setup assistant, you get another setup assistant to greet you. And another. And another. But there seems to be a simple enough fix: booting the computer in safe mode. Yes, just hit the shift key on your computer after you hear the chime, and hold it until the spinning cog appears. I'm glad I didn't update. :D

Strange. Worked just fine for me too. In fact, the restart-required Quicktime update allowed me to install several other updates (a Garageband Jam pack update and a Motion update) that wouldn't install before because the installer "couldn't write the files to the folder /"

I read about the update and did not hear any real problems. With fingers crossed, I installed the update on my efi hackintosh and all runs fine. I have tested Quicktime and iTunes, both run fine.

I did this update on my 10.5.1 Hackintosh (asrock 945G-DVI with E4300 C2D) and something weird happened. The system reboots fine, but i no longer have the 1440x900 resolution. I fixed it by adding this resolution in the boot.plist file.

See, this is what is interesting......

 

I have never upgraded Quicktime except between major releases (6===>7) and haven't had problemms. I don't really care for these very new and unstable builds!
