  ProApps Codec 1.0.5 keeps appearing in Software update, after install

  Posted by Niklas Wikman on September 29, 2014 at 4:42 pm

  Software update regularly prompts me to install ProApps codecs 1.0.5 – I have repaired disk permissions, etc.

  Not sure why it keeps popping up. Anyone had found a solution to this?

  I’m on Lion 10.7, FCP 7.0.3, DVDSP 4.1, Compressor 3.5, etc.

  I found the software Manifest and used that to manually copy the codecs into the right place.

  Then my Macs stopped prompting for the update.

  Hi Jared,

  First, download the Pacifist application from https://www.charlessoft.com/

  (It’s free, but you can donate if you wish).

  Install Pacifist and drop the ProApps 1.0.5 DMG file onto Pacifist

  You will now see the content of the installer.

  What happened to me was that one or two of the codecs files was not installed/copied into the right directory (I think that one of the supposed directories did not even exisst).

  I suggest that you let Pacifist install/copy all the files in the .dmg file to your computer. Then it should work just fine.
