QT Pro 5.0.2
Authored by: xchanyazy on Jan 04, '02 12:47:39PM

I have QT Pro 5.0.2 also. The movie runs just fine, no dialogs asking for upgrades or anything. When I manually search for software updates, either from the QT menu or the system pref pane, the QT updater launches, checks for updates, and then launches the Software Update. However, Software Update just opens up and does nothing, no windows opening, no dialog boxes. If I try to run Software Update from the System Prefs well it is up, I get an error messge saying "Your Software Updates cannot be shown because one or more of the updates contains incorrect information". It then quits software update, and tells me to click update now, which finds no new updates. Happens every single time. Anyone have this problem?

A quick note.. I tried taking out all of the components from my /Library/QuickTime/ folder. I logged out, logged back in, and now the software update just says that no update is needed.

Try viewing Tech TV with QT. It won't work. If you click on enough things you may did lucky and discover you need an update. Good luck in accessing it from the worthless display on Tech TV.

Guess that means I watch the keynote from apple.com QT site, not Tech TV........

(by the way, the installer for OS 9 is 5.0.5)

And check Software Update anyway. There is a host of new printer drivers available or just go to apple/macosx/downloads and save a little hard drive space (under "Drivers")

QT Pro 5.0.2

Actually I eventually discovered, as elsewhere posted, that my "5.02" via "show info" is QT Pro 5.05 from the QT Player/Preferences/Update Quicktime tab/About QT button.

Stranger than fiction.

Still can't get TechTV to function. Won't stream at all. Appears to be a problem related to firewall config, however, which I'm having trouble writing a rule for.

Other sites seem to stream QT with no problem. Not Tech TV. (???) Also had trouble downloading either of the two QT movies about Ginger (the Sedgway) recently, but am not convinced this may not be platform problem or also some firewall problem.

I can view both Ginger movies (broadband option) with no difficulty but clicking on the "download file button" (not a regular QT display) does nothing. First page for this link is:

http://www.segway.com/consumer/video/

Anyone else downloaded this?

I'm not counting on Apple posting this under Software Updates.

I tried something else with no luck. /System/Library/Quick Time gives me the QuickTime Updater which I double click to get the same window (that QT updater accesses via QT Player Pro) and once again I note there's an update that's not installed.

So I select the box and click on "update" and the updater quits. :rolleyes:

Wonder if I should try to obtain by running QT Pro OS 9.....? I downloaded the installer but couldn't figure out what version it was and wasn't interested in losing what Pro codecs I already had........

QT Pro 5.0.2
Authored by: Vadim on Jan 05, '02 10:27:43AM

Same situation here. However I noticed that if you go to the quicktime settings in the System Preferences and hit About Quicktime it says 5.0.5 for me. Even though "About Quicktime" menu says 5.0.2; Perhaps the about box is just not updated and we really have 5.0.5 and just don't know it?

That's a bit different. Same here. (?!)

So why won't the tech tv channel play I wonder?? It's the one I can sometimes get to display a "need" for an upgrade of QT Pro X 5.0.5 (now).

(could be the PC types that try to run the site)

Where did the idea of a "problem" in upgrading to 5.0.5 come from in first place?

Hmmm... same here also. So, I guess the problem is just with the QT update, not with QT itself. That's good, at least.
