Do I need Quicktime?

I have iMovie HD 6. Is there any reason I should upgrade to QuickTime Pro?

Hi k
Depends on what You want to do.
QT is the engine for iMovie and iDVD.
• To get all possible ways to save into different qualitys - You need pro
• To get full screen play back of QT.mov files - there is a way around but pro is easier. (last copy of iCreate paper)
• To be able to make picture in picture or picture walls in Your movie You need
• To get the clip out of iMovie into QT and do that editing here - in pro.
• To rotate 90 deg
• To make some color and picture adjustments - guess what - pro.
My conclusion: In my case the pro upgrade was very valubale BUT in Your
case I haven't the slightes clue to Your need.
Yours Bengt W

  • Itunes 7 - win xp pro will not install "iTunes needs quicktime" error

    iTunes 7 will not complete the install - it says the old version of iTunes could not be uninstalled and then says "iTunes needs quicktime". I tried installing quicktime alone and it also won't install saying it cannot remove the old version. Tried a manual uninstall and I get the same error.

    A tip posted by b noir on the following link solved my problem. I just downloaded "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" from Microsoft, removed my existing version of Qiucktime. Restarted my computer then started fresh with Itune 7 installation. No more problems.
    here's the link:

  • Itunes doesn't open now and apparently I need Quicktime 7.5.5 all of a sudden?

    I recently had to replace my hard-drive as my previous one was howing signs of failing.  I formatted the drive and installed all necessary software. As expected the messages 'Updates were found' so I did these updates as I've done many times before with no problems. Now I am unable to open Itunes because I apparently need Quicktime 7.5.5 for Itunes to run.  A total shock to me as I'd have expected this update to update automatically as with Itunes etc.
      What can I do or what do I need to do to over-come this problem.  Is it a purchase I need or a simple fix?

  • I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5.

    I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5, but when I download the upgrade it won't install over my QuickTime Pro 7.2.1. How do I upgrade QT so it'll be compatible with my iTunes?

    BDA and TMM,
    Excellent thanks. I've got iTunes working now, after downloading the latest version of iTunes by clicking Software Update from the Apple menu. And I downloaded QuickTime 7.7 from the links you recommended, BDA. For some reason I'd been unable to locate the latest QT for Leopard no matter how hard I tried—it was probably staring me in the face all the while.
    Much appreciated,
    -Rob

  • Email video won't play... Need quicktime

    Emails sent to my ipad2from an iPhone won't playback. it says I need QuickTime .how do I get it?

    Okay ... better report the problem via the email form at the bottom of the following FAQ (if you haven't already reported the issue to the iTunes Store):
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/rentals/
    In the meantime, checking on another possible local cause of the problems. Do you have any third-party add-ons/plugins intalled on that PC?

  • Itunes is saying i need quicktime that is already installed

    Can someone help??? I am not very technical...safari went missing from my dock today and I did everything to get it back but couldn't...so I reinstalled the disks that came with the mac and got safari back but now my itunes wont open and it says I need quicktime that I know came installed and is showing in my dock.

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • I try to open itunes and it tells me i need Quicktime 7.5.5 and i can't find it.

    So I did a fresh install of OSX on my late 2007 macbook and after doing all the updates through software I get an error when I attempt to open iTunes. I get an error that says I need Quicktime 7.5.5 but I cannot find this update through the site and the computer will not find it when I have ti do an autocheck for software update.

    I have OS X 10.5 (Leopard) which I just did a fresh factory reset on my 2007 Mac Mini.  I did a Software Update check and it showed a Combined Update for 10.5 with an enormous download size of about 800 MB.  It also showed a separate iTunes update of about 100 MB, so I just downloaded the iTunes one for now. 
    Unfortunately, I received the same message about needing Quicktime 7.5.5 with a URL link that did not provide any update, but rather just the Quicktime features.
    Cutting a long story short, I found (and am installing) this link, which appears to address any issues specifically for OS X 10.5 (Leopard) users.

  • Do you REALLY need Quicktime 7.0.4 for iPhoto 6?

    Hey gang-
    It says in the requirements that you need Quicktime 7.0.4 to install iLife 6, but can anyone confirm that? With all the problem reports with QT 7.0.4, I'm curious if iLife 6 will run or install without it.

    HI Dave,
    I do know you need it to play purchased tunes in your slideshows. Other than that, I am not sure.

    = New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
    Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications.  One person had re-installed their operating system.  It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize.  Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem.  Do this manually, not with Software Update.
    Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979  - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

    My PowerBook G4 can't run iTunes 10.5.3. It says I need QuickTime 7.5.5, which I can't download. I'm running OS 10.5.8.

    I had the same problem but I resolve the issue by reloading quicktime. There is a quicktime 7.5.5 for os 10.5.8, I download it from apple and install it. After it was installed, itune launched by itself with no problems. Hope it works for you.

  • HT2438 Do I need QuickTime Pro to do this?

    Will it work?  I am pretty much a novice.  I viewed a VHS format video on the TV and re-recorded it using the IPhone.  I want to be able to upload the movie clip to YouTube so that my kids can see old movies of themselves online.  Would that be possible with QuickTime Pro (which I don't have yet?)  My error message was Error 36.

    Just connect your iPhone to your computer, and sync the video to your computer. 
    To upload these video's, you would need a Youtube account - www.youtube.com/upload.
    You should not need Quicktime at all to do this.

    QuickTime is not an app you can download to the iPad
    However, many users have had success with an app called OPlayer HD to view their videos. And, there is a lite version so you can see if it'll work for you before plunking down the cash for the fancier version. VLC Media Player app is another possibility.

    Were you using third-party software when the panic occurred? Is the panic repetitive or it just happened once? IN the latter case it could simply be a software glitch. But if it's repetitive then there's some other problem either hardware or software. Use the Console application in the Utilities folder and review the console log around the time of the panic to see if there are additional clues to the cause of the panic.
    The error indicates that the problem was a failure to respond to an interrupt by the CPU. Now this could simply be caused by a software glitch, but it could be a hardware problem related to the CPU. In the latter case the panic would probably become repetitive, in which case you would want to take the computer in for service to be sure the CPU isn't failing.
