QuickTime Security Update Taxes Some Mac Users
Some computer users running Apple Mac OS X are having a bit of a taxing
time with the TurboTax software after installing a recent security
update for Apple's QuickTime media player. The QuickTime update,
released last week, effectively prevents a number of programs from
launching.
The problem appears to be limited to users of Mac OS X 10.3.9 and
earlier versions, but the interference caused by the QuickTime update is
not limited to TurboTax. The update is reportedly causing problems with
games such as World of Warcraft, Age of Empires III, Full Tilt Poker and
Snake, according to numerous threads at the online user forums of both
Apple and TurboTax.
It looks like TurboTax parent Intuit plans to release an update on
Monday to try and work around Apple's patch. The company even posted a
link where users can leave their contact information to be alerted when
a fix is available. ...
