Anyone tried updating to quicktime pro using OS 10.4.11?

I'm running OS 10.4.11 on a G5 PPC and I want to upgrade my version of QuickTime Player 7.6.4 to QT 7 pro. According to Apple's web site, I must have at least OS 10.5 to upgrade. Is that actually a fact?
Just wondered if anyone has successfully tried upgrading their version of QT Player to the latest QT 7 pro on a system running 10.4?

Do you know if QT Pro will import audio tracks from iTunes into movies?
Not in the sense of doing so automatically in the same manner as other apps like GarageBand or iMovie. But, yes, you can do so manually.
When I try to paste the iTunes audio file into a QT movie, it only creates a "text" track with the name of the audio file. Won't create a new audio track?
Try opening the source file in QT 7 Pro, select the entire track or the portion thereof you wish to paste into the video file, use the Command-C or Edit men "Copy" option to copy the data (i.e., a reference that ponts to the date), select the target video, move the playhead to the desired insertion point, either use Command-V, the Edit menu "Add", or Edit menu "Add to Selection and Scale" option (as needed) to paste new audio to your target file, and Save or Export the final product as you may require.
I'm wondering if this is normal or not.
I suspect it may be normal for the workflow you employed. Basically, it sounds like the data reference was only to the audio data filename and not to the data itself. That is why you have to open the data in a separate QT "player" and copy a reference to the actual data to get it to paste/load into the new file. Also be aware that audio can be copied from other files that contain more than just audio. In this case, simply open the source file in QT 7 Pro, extract the audio track you want to a new "player" window, and then follow the instructions above as if audio had been in an audio file.

Updating to quicktime pro

i just updated to quicktime pro and i'm trying to rotate a video. i've followed the directions (clicking 'window', and 'show movie properties') but I do not see the areas described in the help section with which to rotate the video. i'm not sure my update changed my quicktime version to pro. when i click 'help' and quicktime it shows versions 7.6.2. can anyone help me with this issue?

Make sure in the Movie Properties windows that you've selected the "Video Track". If you see an item that says "hinted video", that is not the correct item. Then when you've selected the correct video track, click on the Visual Settings tab and you'll find the buttons to rotate the video there.
Hope this helps.

How do I update to quicktime pro?

How do I update to Quicktime Pro? I have the codes but system preferences screen does not look like what is pictured in the instructions. What did I do wrong?

Nothing. You need to download the QuickTime 7 player and apply the code there.

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing.

Downgrade Quicktime Pro using Time Machine?

Is it possible to downgrade Quicktime Pro using Time Machine? The system thinks it was upgraded to 7.6.6, but I didn't have it in the Utilities directory and it looks like it wasn't upgraded.

If you upgraded to iTunes 12, there may be a problem with iTunes media if you didn't have iTunes 12 in Mavericks.

I cannot enter the key code for updating to QuickTime Pro 7 as there is no Icon in Preferences and no Registration option in menu?

I have followed the clear instructions to enter the purchased key code for QuickTime Pro 7. There are two options offered:-
1. Go into Preferences and select the QuickTime Player icon and enter the code that way.
2. Open QuickTime Player and open up ‘registration’ and enter the key code.
For whatever reason I have neither option available to me although QuickTime player is on my system and I use it regularly. It is version 10 build (118). I have run software updates and there is no upgrade available. I have downloaded the latest version and tried to load it but this fails because the system finds a version already available. I have attempted to uninstall but whilst it moves it from the Application folder, it remains on the Mac as it is part of the system files. So I cannot use the Pro version. The iMac is a 27” Intel about a year old and has all the software updates available to me installed.
Any offers for suggestions or past experiences that can help me overcome this conundrum?

Both answers were spot on. I made the mistake yesterday of downloading the version for Leopard in my haste. I also thought the issue was related to having to uninstall the current version X.
So the moral of the episode is check the version you have and make certain you download the correct version for your system. All works now.
Thanks chaps!

Can anyone tell me if Quicktime Pro retains aspect ratio once a video is rotated?

I'm reluctant to purchase Quicktime Pro until I know the answer to this question and Apple Support doesn't seem to have anyway to ask, so I thought I'd try this group.
I took some videos with my iPhone (the long way), and need to be able to rotate them and convert them to avi files. I understand that Quicktime Pro can do the rotation and conversion, but I saw one review that said the aspect ratio is not retained, i.e. the video comes out flattend (wider).
Can anyone tell me if this is still true with QT Pro, or if there are other solutions for resolving this outside of QT Pro?? I have tried a number of other converters, and found one that rotates, but aspect ratio not retained.
Thanks in advance for any help shared!!!

This may or may not depend on your specific work flow. Many "settings' saved to the original file by QT 7 Pro are merely "playback instructions" which may or may not play correctly in other media players while these same settings do work properly when saved/converted to a new file container. In addition, not being a Windows user, I don't know if there are are any significant differences between the Mac and Windows versions of QT 7. In any case, I just took a short sample clip, stored it on my hard drive via Aperture 3, opened the file in QT 7 Pro, rotated the clip in QT 7 Pro, and used the "Save As..." command to store the modified file. This modified file now plays correctly in current versions of the QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, and VLC media players. Have uploaded a copy of this file so you can download it, test playback in various players you normally use, and/or test convert it to your specific AVI audio and video compression formats.
SAMPLE ROTATED FILE
Can anyone tell me if this is still true with QT Pro, or if there are other solutions for resolving this outside of QT Pro?? I have tried a number of other converters, and found one that rotates, but aspect ratio not retained.
As indicated above, the file plays correctly for me in various media players and all media "Inspector" windows, including other third party media information utilities, confirm the correct dimensions and aspect ratio as displayed. As to AVI conversion, I test converted the uploaded file to AVI (DivX5/MP3) at original dimensions using VisualHub. (Also tried the VideoMonkey AVI encode but it limited the source 720p file to a 720x480 output and I did not know if you were agreeable to such a restriction.) Suggest you run similar tests with your preferred Windows converters to confirm/refute results on your system.

Warning QT 7.3 update ruins Quicktime Pro features

Don't install this update, if you own Final Cut Studio 5 and use Quicktime Pro it will ruin your registration. Thanks a lot Apple, way to make my production machine temporarily useless! I'm going to consider buying Premiere before updating to FCP 6 now. I was going to in January, but I'm so disappointed right now you don't even understand. I bet they won't release a fix for this in a timely fashion either.
Ridiculous!

The fix : I installed Leopard, and it fixed my Quicktime Pro registration. Horray. I'm glad I wasn't forced to purchase/ upgrade to Final Cut Pro 6 before 2008.
The oddity : This quicktime pro registration issue only affected 1 of my macs.
The saving grace : While I was ranting and confused by why compressor kept exporting video @ 320x240 and figuring out that Quicktime Pro had been disabled I was able to export the quicktime videos on the laptop with leopard and Quicktime 7.3 suprisingly. Video was done on time, no biggie.
I checked at work today and noticed that 4 of our macs (ppc, intel) had the 7.3 update and Tiger and they were not affected.
Sorry for posting before doing extensive research, I was nervous because I needed the videos exported. My complaining is over, beware ye updaters. I'd avoid the Quicktime 7.3 update.
Thanks

How do i upgrade to quicktime pro using lion

I am using LION operating system. I am trying to upgrade from quicktime to quicktime pro. I have already purchased the software and have my registration number but i can not figure out WHERE to use it? (meaning where do I input the registration number so that I can use the program)?

When you start QT 7 player, under the first menu there is a "Registration" menu item.
Enter your name and Registration code, THEN hit the TAB KEY. Do not click the "Buy..." button.
That should do it.
Make sure you have the CORRECT version of QT 7:

Update to Quicktime Pro not working

Just bought the Quicktime Pro license key from the Apple Store. When I input my name and the key and click "Apply", a label states "QuickTime 7 Pro". However, this information seems not to persist: After closing the registration window and re-opening the same window later, it states "Buy Quicktime Pro...". All the menus still contain the "Pro" label and I am unable to save any movie.
I uninstalled Quicktime and re-installed it with a fresh download from the Apple site. To no avail.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

My user account belongs to the local Administrators group. Nevertheless, I tried to use the function "Run as Administrator" function to make sure, Vista really runs Quicktime with all privileges. Did not work.
For the second time, I uninstalled the software, then I deleted manually the folder C:\program files\ (since QT Uninstall leaves tons of files there - no wonder I can't get past the problem).
I rebooted the system and downloaded the setup files again. Ran the installer "as administrator". Ran Quicktime Pro as Administrator. It still doesn't remember the Pro functions after having unlocked that functionality using the key obtained from Apple.
At this level, I have to give up. I spent two afternoons on this and I need to get things done. It's probably not a QT Pro problem and I might need to restage my computer in the future (I upgraded XP Pro to Vista Ultimate - instead of doing a fresh installation). However, since QT Pro is so far the only software giving me a headache, I am not really feeling the urge to re-install the operating system.
Maybe an upcoming QT release will fix the problem...

I tried updating my Macbook Pro and now it won't work?

I had OS Mountain Lion 10.8.2 for my MacBook Pro (version: late 2012) and I tried updating the operating system. The update was about three out of seven minutes in when a box popped up and said there was an error updating and that the process must restart. I clicked "okay" and waited for a couple of minutes but my screen was all gray and nothing else. I thought my MacBook froze, so I manually restarted it by holding down the power button and then pressing it again and now my screen is gray with the apple symbol and black coded text with writing such as "Unable to find driver for this platform", "Mac OS Version: Not yet set" and "System uptime in nanoseconds: 242856217", along with a series of codes such as " panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff8008c59241)". The screen is stuck like this and will not change. I have tried manually restarting it but it just keeps showing this screen. How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Reboot your laptop while holding the alt/option key then I prefer you connect your laptop to an Ethernet cable because wifi gets slow . We'll, now choose the recovery driver. After that choose reinstall whatever software and just wait for a few hours for the thing to install and then your basically done hopefully no files will be earased since that is what I did and everything was perfectly fine no files lost, nothing
Good luck

HT201250 I use Snow Leopard and tried restore my Macbook pro using Time Machine.

After waiting a considerable time for Time Machine to restore my whole system, applications and files I had problems in that my Macbook Pro would not restart. The Apple logo appeared but then the screen scrolled down and a lot of letters, numbers and symbols appeared - not making any sense, and a box appeared telling me to restart holding down the on button. This I did. However it kept on repeating. In the end I had to reinstall the whole lot. Fortunately I had backed up all my files. I cannot use some of the programs I have because I cannot retrieve them. I do not have a disk with them on to reload because I downloaded them from the net and they are old progs and still did what I wanted. A lot of files I have saved do not open now without the old system and apps.Can anyone come up with an idea?

Ah that's good to hear, does this still work if TimeMachine updates to reflect the 10.7 drive?
There is no special update. After installing Lion, Time Machine will do a normal "incremental" backup, of the stuff that's new or changed. That will be relatively large and lengthy, of course, since OSX and the default Apple apps will all be backed-up.
But there's nothing else different about the TM drive. It stil contains all the past backups, including older versions of OSX.
In other words if a user upgrades to 10.7 and doesn't like it after a few days/weeks, has TM connected and it updated to relfect 10.7, can the user c boot off the 10.6 disk erase and restore 10.6 from the TM drive?
Yes, except you don't have to erase.
You just boot from the Snow Leopard Install disc and do a full system restore. That includes erasing the destination, so it doesn't matter what's on it. Then everything on the backup is restored, including OSX, apps, users, data, settings, etc., just as it was at the time of the backup selected.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14, especially step (g). The sample is a bit fuzzy -- it's a photo, since you can't screenprint there, but note that the last two backups were made on Snow Leopard:
Once that's done, and the system restarts, you can use the "Star Wars" display to restore selected items from later (ie, Lion) backups, but of course in some cases (Mail for one), the Snow Leopard apps won't work with the Lion-formatted files.

READY TO GIVE UP TRYING TO INSTALL QUICKTIME PRO

I HAVE PURCHASED THE KEY.
I HAVE QUICKTIME 7.
I ENTERED THE KEY IN CORRECTLY, AS WELL AS MY NAME.
I AM CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.
APPLE TECHNICAL SUPPORT TOLD ME TO POST HERE.
THIS IS THE ERROR I GET WHEN TRYING TO UPGRADE...
"a connection with the quicktime software server could not be established. this computer may have troubles connecting to the internet or the server may be offline"
ANY HELP WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED! SERIOUSLY...I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!

Try using copy and paste from the name and key in the email you received from Apple after purchase. And please don't type in all caps. It is considered impolite on the internet and makes the message difficult to read.

Quicktime Pro Update not posible !?!?!?!?! (sorry german language)

Im folgenden möchte ich auf Missstände in der Apple Update-Politik hinweisen.
Ich arbeite in einer Studioumgebung mit der Software Digidesign ProTools LE 7.0.
Die Software läuft mit der Digidesign Hardware Digi002 auf einem Titanium PowerBook G4 1GHz.
Am 21.08.2004 habe ich für dieses System (damals unter OSX Panther) ein Update auf Quicktime Pro 6.0 gekauft. Damit habe ich eine Registrierungsnummer erhalten, durch die sich Quicktime Pro auf OSX Panther freischalten ließ.
Im Dezember 2005 habe ich das System auf OSX Tiger upgedatet um die aktuelle ProTools Software nutzen zu können.
Nach dem Update auf OSX Tiger konnte ich meine Quicktime Pro Registrierungsnummer nicht mehr verwenden um Quicktime Pro 7.0 frei zu schalten.
Darauf hin habe ich telefonisch mit dem Apple-Support Kontakt aufgenommen.
Der Support konnte mir nur zwei nicht zufriedenstellende Lösungen anbieten:
-Quicktime Pro 7.0 neu zu erwerben
-ein Downgrade auf Quicktime 6.0
Da jedoch Digidesign für einen reibungslosen Betrieb der ProTools Version 7.0 auf OSX Tiger mit Quicktime 7.0 besteht, bin gezwungen Quicktime Pro 7.0 zu erwerben und damit erneut die vollen Kosten (ein Update von Quicktime Pro 6.0 auf Quicktime Pro 7.0 wird nicht angeboten) für eine Quicktime Pro Lizenz zu tragen.
Diese Vorgaben von Apple empfinde ich als völlig ungerechtfertigt und unzulässig, da ich damit zwei mal für ein Produkt (welches ich weiter verwende) bezahlen muß und ich beim Kauf von OSX Tiger nicht auf diese Umstände hingewiesen wurde.

although I don't speak or understand German, I think i might know what you are asking...
you had Quicktime Pro 6, it was valid, registered, worked great....
you upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7. but now its no longer registered and you dont have your Pro capabilities.
Its well documented from Apple Quicktime site that if you upgrade to QT7 you will need to buy a new Registration. Yep apple forcing you to shell out another $30 US for a code.
I complained to Apple about it as I had QT6.5.2 Pro and worked great and when I upgraded to QT7 I lost my Pro capabilities... part of Apple's claim, QT7 Pro is different enough and better than the older QT6.

5D MkII - Quicktime Pro - MP4 - Premiere, why 4:3?!??!

I was trying to find a workflow that would allow me to do my video editing on Premiere. This has been a very expensive and frustrating road...
For some reason, if I export a 5D MkII .mov file using Quicktime Pro using:
File Format: MP4
Video
Video Format: Pass through
I end up with an .MP4 file that plays perfectly with VLC, and is even in 1920x1200 resolution and aspect ratio.
However, if I import that into Premiere, it shows up as 4:3 (and yet 1920x1200 resolution... go figure!).
To give you an idea, if I drag the original 5D MkII .mov file for the same video into the SAME project in Premiere, it shows up with the correct aspect ratio.
So this is obviously something wrong with how Premiere is handling this .MP4 file that Quicktime Pro has produced.
Can anyone help me on this? I have video to work on and this is majorly screwing me up.
-Joe Chott
P.S. I did try Cineform Neo Scene, but importing anything that program has produced just crashes Premiere, so that didn't help me one bit...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to post on this thread, I've been super busy.
The solution was:
1. Import the .MP4 file
2. Right click on the .MP4 file in the project (note: you have to right click on the icon, not the name for the popup menu to appear)
3. Choose "Interpret footage"
4. Change "Pixel Aspect Ratio" from "Use Pixel Aspect Ratio from File" to "Conform to: Square Pixels (1.0)"
Voila, the footage is again widescreen!
So my only remaining question on this topic is, why is quicktime not correctly writing the aspect ratio to the file? (It ends up saying "Other Aspect Ratio (0.755)" when I first import the file to the project...
Thanks!
-Joe Chott
