Downloading quicktime for a mac on a Windows PC

Yes, I know this is a rather strange quest. but I cannot currently access the internet on my Mac till I get an airport card to connect to the wireless network here in the house. I am currently using my housemate's comp. and when I go to download Quicktime to a USB flash drive with the intention of transferring it to my Mac, it automaticall takes me to a Windows download without any option to do it for Mac. Obviously, it must be reading his operating system automatically. I'm assuming that Macs cannot use "exe" files, so is there a way around this? I tried to email Apple Support directly, but there isn;'t any apparent way to do that.
I do realize that my question may be a bit on the stupid side and Windows is kind of a dirty word in these parts (why do you think I switched to a Mac in the first place ) but please bear with me as I am totally new to this. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. And the reward for that will be any other stupid questions I may encounter in this wonderful, but complicated, new world of Macs. Isn't that great? Ha, ha.
I did buy a copy of David Pogue's book called the Missing Manual, but this particular problem wasn't covered.

Hello buttonstc,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Depending on the OS X flavor you are using, here are the links:
Leopard
Tiger
Panther
I was confused at first as why you couldn't download the Mac version from a PC. I even went to versiontracker.com, select Mac OS X, search for quicktime, click download, which brought me back to Apple downloads and, you guessed it, Windows download.
At download.com, you can download the Mac version (dmg) of quicktime, but it's the previous version 7.2.
Anyway, good luck,
Gary

  • Problems Downloading Quicktime For Windows

    I have made numerous attempts over the past few weeks to download QuickTime for Windows XP. Each attempt results in the following:
    I end up at a page that says "Your download will start automatically" and "Thankyou for downloading QuickTime."
    Of course,the download never starts. I've tried downloading using Mozilla Firefox as well as IE7, both the latest versions with all patches applied. Javascript is turned on in IE7.
    Even after waiting a few hours, nothing gets downloaded, or even starts to download.

    As I have a DSL connection, I am not using any acceleration software, at least not on my own Pc. Perhaps my service provider is, but I have no control over that.
    As to pop-up blockers, I turned them off in both IE7 and Mozilla 2.0.0.3, all to no avail. My software firewall is setup to always advise me of anything that it is attempting to block, and no messages have appeared on my screen.
    I've tried downloading Quicktime on three different computers, two at one location, the third two miles away from the other two Pc's.
    So far, I have had no success.
    Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
    Aloha from Hawaii,

  • Downloaded mavericks for one mac can i use the same download to install on another mac

    I have downloaded for 12 hours initial installation on one mac for mavericks, and all installed successfully. Rather than download again for another mac, can I use the same download and copy on to the other mac..and if yes, where will I find it?

    All you need to do is go to System Preferences > App Store and uncheck the automatic install of updates box, then download the Mavericks installer, and copy to a flash drive.  You will need a flash drive of 8 G B or more since the installer is around 5.3 GB.  The installer will be in Finder > Applications.  You can then copy that flash drive installer to the Applications folders in all the Macs you have that are capable of running Mavericks, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    When the installer runs, the last step in the installtion is for the installer to erase itself.  So makng a copy before the installer runs is essential if you want to avoid redownloading.
    Installing from the same installer does not cause problems for Macs on the same network.

  • I would like to download iMessage for my mac book pro.

    I would like to download iMessage for my mac book pro OS X, 10.8.1. When I try to install imessage it says that I need 10.7. What do I have to do to get imessage installed?

    It sounds like you already have iMessages setup. Did you sign into iCloud from system preferences and did you also add your iCloud account to Mail?
    They should, just sign you into iMessages when you load Messages.app.
    If you are only being asked to put in your AIM id (which it is really asking for your APPLE ID) then it means that you are already signed into iMessages (hopefully)
    To check this, go to Messages>Preferences>accounts and choose iMessages. Make sure that it says it is enabled.
    Now close out of the preferences, and then hit cmd 0, to bring up the Chat Box.
    The Chat box lets you use iMessages begin a conversation with a friend in your contacts.
    simply type their name into the TO field at the top of the chat box and find a contact with "IMessages" next to their name. Hover over that contact, and if a blue Talk Bubble comes up next to the name, that account is ready to receive iMessages.
    Click the account and begin a conversation.
    If you have setup everything correctly with your Apple ID on your iDevices as well as in Messages on OSX, you should be able to have a synced conversation with all of them.
    Please note, if you were using your Apple ID with iChat before ML, then you most certainly have an AIM account and you were using it in the past. If you want a buddy list, then you should follow the prompt to sign in with your AIM account, but treat it like it is asking you for an Apple ID. Sign in with your apple id to the aim account it asks you to sign into and then you'll have your old iChat buddy list back.
    iMessages does not have a buddy list associated with it. you need to organize your Contacts with their user information and then you need to use the To field in the chat box to communicate and find people with iMessages. Only gtalk, jabber, aim, bonjour, yahoo have the ability to show you a buddy list. iMessages buddy list is Contacts.app
    if iMessages is not enabled, you can enable it by clicking on the iMessages account in Messages>preferences>accounts and then signing in with the same apple id you have tied to your iOS devices.
    I hope this helps.

  • Where can I download Quicktime for windows?

    Where can I download the free Quicktime for windows? All I found on Apple's site was Macintosh versions.

    Apples page uses "detection" scripts to serve up the proper version. Log in using a Mac and that is the only version the links send you to. Same for a PC.
    Visit a friend that has a PC and burn the file to a CD.

    Are you using IE for the download? Although the following document is about downloading iTunes installers, the same general principles apply with downloading QuickTime installers:
