Conflict Beween DiskWarrior & QuickTime

Post by dixiechicken »

No need to panic exactly - but I found this info today on:
Http://www.macfixit.com:
DiskWarrior conflict with QuickTime still not resolved

A bug that causes DiskWarrior to unexpectedly quit at step 10 in the rebuild process due to the presence of QuickTime has yet to be resolved with the latest QuickTime releases or an update from Alsoft (DiskWarrior's developer).

This issue was created with the installation of QuickTime 7.0.4 and continues with QuickTime 7.1 and 7.1.1.

In the meantime, this issue can still be resolved via our previously published workaround, as follows:

1. Quit DiskWarrior 3.0.3
2. Control click on DiskWarrior 3.0.3 and from the contextual menu select "Show Package Contents"
3. Locate the "Complete.aiff" sound file - the path is: - DiskWarrior 3.0.3.app -> Contents -> Resources -> Complete.aiff
4. Rename the "Complete.aiff" sound file "Alert Complete.aiff" - then close ALL windows"

An Alsoft technical support representative states:

"We're disappointed that the issue wasn't fixed with the update to QuickTime 7.1. We will have to work around this in a future version of DiskWarrior.

"However, the actual DiskWarrior rebuild process is completed and the crash will do no harm to your data. Thus, you could simply leave DiskWarrior as is, and re-launch the software if you need to rebuild another drive.'
