After buying Quicktime Pro, I can't get it to run

I just bought Quicktime Pro, and I can't get it to open. Even after restarting my computer, the Quicktime Player opens fine, but not Pro. (I put my key # in the Quicktime control panel, and it registered "Quicktime Pro"... just like the instructions.

Just to make sure you're clear, QuickTime Pro is not a separate application, so nothing different will launch. A Pro key just unlocks the extra features of QuickTime Player and the QuickTime browser plugin. If the Pro labels have gone from the menu items in QT Player, then your key is correctly registered and you should be good to go.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    QuickTime only appears on System Preferences if you are running Mac OS X Leopard, and you have OS X Mountain Lion.
    In Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer, QuickTime Player 7 isn't included, so you have to install it before getting QuickTime 7 Pro > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3678
    After installing QuickTime Player 7, you have to activate it in order to get QuickTime 7 Pro. In that link, follow the steps under "Information for QuickTime 7 Pro users"

  • I can not update Quick Time.  I get the message "a connection with the server could not be established"  I AM connected to the internet.  I have purchased QuickTime pro but can not get it uploaded.  Help.

    I have purchased Quick Time Pro and received my key.  I am told to go to QuickTime settings to update and I do not have Quick Time in my control panel.
    When I bring up QuickTime and click Help to Update I am told that a connection to the server could not be made due to either the server being down or my computer not having an internet connection.  I am connected to the internet so I know that is not the problem.
    How do I update my Quick Time player from 7.7.2 to QuickTime Pro that I have purchased?

    Launch the QuickTime Player and go "Edit > Preferences > Register", as per the following screenshot:
    ... that should get you through to the Register Tab in your QuickTime Control Panel.

    DO you have the free Quicktime player?
    You can buy Quicktime Pro from the Help menu.
    I haven't done so myself so I can't talk you though it.
    If you don't have the free player, you can download it from:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    If you don't want iTunes, be sure to download the version without iTunes.

    I purchased a QT Pro Reg. Code Key. When I install it in the QT Preferences Panel, I get an: "Invalid Registration" note at the bottom, next to the "Buy QuickTime Pro" button to the right. Both on a desk top and a laptop. Win 7, QT version 7.7.1. No joy! I've been on the phone with Apple for a little more than an hour, so far. They have my money. anyone have any Ideas? Just kiss the thirty bucks goodbye?

    You,Sir, are "The Man"! I followed the instructions and - viola - Joy in Mudville. Thank you, keep up the great work. Even the "Apple" people don't seem to know this. I was on the phone with them, passed from one to another, for over an hour. While waiting I stumbled on your advise and I was made free! If they ask you, charge them a mint for the information. You Sir have gone where no Apple has gone before.

  • So now I own Quicktime Pro, I can never update Quicktime?

    I decided to buy Quicktime Pro last month. Then this morning I am notified that a Quicktime update was available. As I begin installing it I am warned that I will lose Quicktime Pro should I proceed and will have to purchase it again!
    WHAT!? This is ridiculous. After PAYING for Quicktime Pro I am now unable to update Quicktime without losing Quicktime Pro. Please tell me I have this wrong.
    Is this how paying customers are treated? I would never use pirate software, but things like this almost makes you understand why some people do.

    In the installation warning it says:
    "IMPORTANT NOTICE TO QUICKTIME PRO USERS:
    INSTALLATION OF QUICKTIME 7 WILL DISABLE THE QUICKTIME PRO FUNCTIONALITY IN PRIOR VERSIONS OF QUICKTIME. IF YOU PROCEED WITH THIS INSTALLATION, YOU MUST PURCHASE A NEW QUICKTIME 7 PRO KEY TO REGAIN QUICKTIME PRO FUNCTIONALITY. AFTER INSTALLATION, VISIT www.apple.com/quicktime TO PURCHASE A QUICKTIME 7 PRO KEY."
    If I update Quicktime, surely that makes whatever I had before a 'prior version' of Quicktime. I have Quicktime 7.1.6. If I update to Quicktime 7.2, in my understanding of English, anything below 7.2 then becomes a 'prior version'.
    I was going to try email someone at Apple for clarification, but they make it impossible to find anyone to email on their site.
    Thanks for the reply Dick Napoli, but can I get a 2nd and 3rd opinion as to what will happen to my Quicktime Pro if I upgrade? I really don't want to waste my money.

  • On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?, on my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?

    On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on?  Thank you.  Ed

    Welcome to the Apple family!!!! 
    How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
    Press Control-Option and F5.   The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over.  This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
    How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
    How to read a website with VoiceOver
    Step 1:  Go to the Website
    A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L.  This will jump you up to the address bar.  Start typing where you want to go.  i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
    Step 2:  Working with Webpage
    VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website.  You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'. 
    If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it.  If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
    Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website.  This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
    Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'.  You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
    If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I 
    Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
    Step 3.  Reading from Top to Bottom
    Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title. 
    After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on. 
    Note:  If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too. 
    Tip:  You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'.  The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads  The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R.  You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'. 
    I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
    You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar.  To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M. 
    Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac.  This will open up another window.  Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'.  If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

    The  'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H.  (hit H twice)  is my best friend.  It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command.  Example:  You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command.   Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph.  It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph.  I believe there are three.

  • I bought a new Macbook Pro, how can I get my very old macbook cleared of my stuff so I can give it to my grandson. I just want him to be able to use it.

    I bought a new Macbook Pro, how can I get my very old macbook cleared of my stuff so I can give it to my grandson. I just want him to be able to use it.

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
    Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
    You can now follow the instructions on the install screen             

  • If I buy OSX Lion now can I get Mountain Lion later next month for free?

    Any idea?

    Only on a new Mac.
    In simple terms, you either need:
    A qualifying 10.7 Mac purchased on June 11, 2012 to 10.8's release date, then you have 30 days afterwards to upgrade to 10.8 for free.
    Bought a qualifying new 10.7 Mac on or after the 10.8 release date which you then have 30 days to request a free 10.8 upgrade.

  • I've bought quicktime pro, entered the registration code but am directed to buy quicktime pro again

    I've bought quicktime pro, entered the registration code but am directed to buy quicktime pro again. Quicktime 7 is showing 'Pro' after I enter registration under 'Registration'. I have an email receipt from Apple store saying it is purchased. Yet when I try to use the Pro features they are greyed out. Ripped off?

    I've bought quicktime pro, entered the registration code but am directed to buy quicktime pro again.
    Are you pressing the "RETURN" key to enter the registered information or the "TAB" key? "Pro" registration instructions clearly state that the "TAB" key must be used. If you used the "TAB" key to register the "Pro" key information and the "Pro" features are still grey, do you actually have a file loaded in a player window. I.e., the "Pro" features cannot be accessed if a file has not been opened in the application since they are context adaptive and, as QT Kirk pointed out, must be able to "see" the type of file you wish to edit since the features available may depend on which type of file you are trying to edit.

  • My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard (via my MacBookPro), either from the HD or DVD drive.  Can't get it to run Hardware Test.  Disk Utility says disk OK - files are there. What can I do?

    My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard.   I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host.  But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning.  I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen.  If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

    Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
    clean the disk.
    If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

    The scroll bar is now set to appear automatically when you start scrolling with a trackpad or scroll wheel mouse. If you are using an mouse without a scrolling device, you should change a setting.
    In System Preferences, click General, and in the Show Scroll Bars section, click the option for how you want it to work. If you want to see them all the time click "Always."
