Installing Quicktime 7.6.x ( leopard) iin SL

to fire out all the hidden dust in my boot disk ( some from march 2001), I decided to make a snow leopard from zero install....
I've only keep; music, pictures, movies, address book, ical, networks settings, keychain and few more things.
I know when a update leopard to snow leopard Quicktime 7 is moved to SL aplications folder.... but I'm unable to install it from his installer.
Can I do this or I must to forget to have it running in SL ????

Snow Leopard supports QuickTime Player 7 version 7.6.3 but not the later 7.6.4 version. (Note carefully the *System Requirements* at the QuickTime 7.6.4 for Mac download page.)
To install the appropriate version of QT Player 7 simply follow the instructions at Installing QuickTime Player 7 on Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard. It will be installed in /Applications/Utilities, not in /Applications.

  • Quicktime 10 and Snow Leopard

    I've just upgraded to Snow Leopard and I wanted to watch some previous keynote speeches and the latest rock and roll one, but the video is all blocky on Quicktime.
    When I load it up the sound is ok but the video is all blocky and the movement is jumpy.
    Any ideas?

    The Quicktime downloads on Apples web site aren't full installations of the program, they are only updates. If you did by chance deleted Quicktime X repost back for instructions on reinstalling Quicktime X. You do not need to reinstall the OS to get Quicktime X back.

  • Quicktime 7 and Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    I just got a Mac Mini (Late 2009) and running 10.6.2. I have downloaded QT 7 and tried to install it however I get a message that QT V10.0 is installed and that I should get latest version of QT for my system. Everything is up to date according to Software Update on my system.
    Do I need ti uninstall or delete QT 10.0 in order to install QT 7?

  • HT3678 How to get Quicktime without a Snow Leopard Install Disc?

    I purchased Snow Leopard through apple as a download. So I never received a disk. And I deleted Quicktime because it would not play audio. I thought I could just fresh reinstall it and it might fix the problem. Where can I download it without the disc? I have scoured the forums, changed Text files to qtz (but since I do not have quicktime on my machine anymore I can't ask Apple to download it for me)... Any ideas? Thanks!

    Worth checking which version you deleted (deleting QT is never a good idea as it is an integral part of the operating system).
    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:

    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
    A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.

  • Can't Uninstall/Install Quicktime...

    Basically, I want to uninstall my old version of quicktime. I basically corrupted it (I believe) because it won't open. When I remove the app from my mac, it's no longer there. However, whenever I'm trying to re-install using the official Quicktime 7.6.4 on apple.com - it won't let me. It gives me an error message saying:
    "Quicktime can't be installed on this disc. This version of Quicktime 7 can't be installed on the disc because Quicktime X is already present. Please us Software update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime for your mac".
    The problem is, when I go to my software update..it doesn't detect that it needs to be updated. So..how am I supposed to fix it? And when I try to open movie files, Quick time isn't even detected as an option (even if I browse). As far as my knowledge..Quicktime is NO LONGER on my mac..yet it insists that it is. I just want to start fresh, I want to be able to re-install it. But it won't let me.
    Anyone have any advice for this maddening problem? And just a little more info - (the way i corrupted the file in the first place) - I was trying to install Quicktime Pro 7 and it kept claiming my mac had the newest version. So I removed quicktime completely, and it kept telling me that quicktime (newer version was on my mac, even tho I removed it, even from the Library section) - then I used the Leopard boot up, and used the optional install..and now the file showed back up, but it doesn't have the quicktime logo, (has the application logo) - and it's non responsive. So I deleted that too...but as I said, when I try to install it again from Apple.com..it's a no go.

  • Help! Bought a used iMac (2008) and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.  How do I retrieve or reset the password?

    Can anyone help...
    I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot. 
    How do I retrieve or reset the password?
    It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications.  When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.

    I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
    Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
    With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
    So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
    If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own.

  • Cant install quicktime

    Hi there..
    i bought myself a new mac book pro and deinstalled quicktime.. why is not so important..
    stupid thing to do because i tried to install quicktime with the downloaded quicktime for leopard 7.5 and it says this "software is not meant for this machine"??
    same with quicktime for tiger... ok.. in this case its true..
    how can i install quicktime again without having to reinstall the whole mac osx package...?
    thanks in advance..

    QuickTime is a system component and can only be installed from the OS install.
    I don't know what you may have removed but the only option to having a functioning OS is to re-install the OS from its DVD installer.

  • What exactly is the newest QuickTime version for Snow Leopard

    The current download on the Apple.com for quicktime is the version 7.xx, so is for Quicktime pro.
    But the version on my new macbook pro is 10.xx
    So what exactly is the newest version? And is there a pro version for 10.xx?
    PS. I also searched the apple.com for quicktime 10 and it didnt come up with much info.

    2. If not, does _*Quicktime 7 PRO*_ has ALL the functionality the QuickTime 10 has?
    3. if not, can i install a _*Quicktime 7 PRO*_ , while keeping the QT 10? -- i mean: have the both versions on my computer.
    4. Is there a direct download link for Quicktime 7 Pro (full version) (of course i will purchase it)
    5. What is the newest version for Quicktime 7 Pro: 7.xxx?

    4. No need to download anything. Just install QuickTime Player from your Snow Leopard DVD and enter the registration info.
    5. Snow Leopard is 7.6.3. Windows is 7.6.5 and Tiger and Leopard is 7.6.4.
    Thanks Kirk,
    ========> 3. Both versions on Snow Leopard.
    You mean: on Snow Leopard, the i can simultaneously have the both version installed?

    I have a SnowLeopard DVD, and I am going to try if i can install QuickTime 7 from the DVD according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3678 , and having my QT 10 already installed.
    I will let you know if this will work.

  • Problem installing Quicktime 7 Pro, help inquiry.

    Hi, Im on 10.6.2, I already had Quicktime X installed on the machine, which came with Snow Leopard, But I just purchased Quicktime 7 Pro, and wanted to install that, when I tried, it would not let me because QT X was already installed, so I throw QT X in the trash, then try and download pro, but still, it says that QT X is still there.
    The reason I want QT Pro over QT X, is that with Pro I cant take still photos and make them into a video sequence, which I believe X cannot do.
    Any idea how to get this QT X off my system, so It will let me install QT Pro.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Installing QuickTime Pro V 7.6.4 in new PC / harddrive...

    Hello,
    I have a new PC (with Windows 7), am installing all of the software I still want to use that I had on my older PC, and I need to get my QuickTime Pro I upgraded to working. I have version QuickTime 7.6.4, which I paid for in 2008.
    QUESTION: What steps do I need to take in order to download install QuickTime Pro V. 7.6.4?
    I looked at their website and I found 7.6.4, but it was for "Tiger" and "Leopard" and I am not really sure how to proceed. I have a registration code, but I need to know what "exactly" to download so I can put the code in and upgrade to the Pro version I purchased.
    Thank you in advance. I tried for about thirty minutes to find this information on Apple's page, but I failed.
    Ron Hatchell

    Thank you.
    I downloaded the new version, but cannot locate where I can put in my code from V 7.6.4. When I select "Buy QuickTime Pro" from the Help menu, it takes me to a page where I have to buy it, and nowhere is there a place to put my registration code in.
    Not sure what to do now.

  • Re-install Quicktime X

    I mistakenly deleted Quicktime X because of serious problems with my QT Files.
    How do I re-install Quicktime X?

    It is probably best to reinstall Snow Leopard if you deleted more than the new QuickTime Player X application from the Applications folder. QuickTime is a core part of the OS; it will not function properly without it. This may also help with your QT file problems.
    Reinstalling Snow Leopard is less of a chore than you might think: unlike earlier OS versions there are no hassles resulting from archived "Previous Systems" folders or things like that. It just "upgrades" the existing OS to whatever version is on the installer disc, even if it is the same version as installed on the Mac.
    You may have to use Software Update to bring the installed version back to the current one, but because that utility will choose the smallest & simplest updates, even that is usually less time consuming than you might think.

  • I just installed quicktime 7.7.2 to watch movie trailers, works but no sound

    I just installed quicktime 7.7.2 to watch movie trailers on http://trailers.apple.com/trailers.  It plays the trailers OK but there's no sound.  Any ideas?  I have Windows XP. 
    Quicktime installation also changed the association on an m4v movie that played perfectly with the VLC movie player, but plays real jerky with the QT player and also there's no sound.  Any ideas?
    Thnx

    I just installed OuickTime 7 Pro in my Mac Pro Ver 10.6.8. The video I am trying to view is codec h264 Compression dvcpro 50 hd. I have audio but no video. It says I need other software with QuickTime for it to work. Dose anyone know what I need?
    H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.
