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:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
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".)

If I understand you right, try this,
Go to Mail > Mail top menu > View > Customise toolbar > then drag the address book icon back into the top bar.

Right click "open with" yields 2 copies of "Safari", "Firefox" & "Quicktime

Hi
I have this problem when i right click on a .jpeg .jpg file.
it yields 2 copies of "Safari", "Firefox" & "Quicktime. I have verified and repaired permissions using disk utility but to no avail. can anyone offer any help?
reward pts awarded. thanks in advance.

There are two possiblities: first that you actually have two copies (eg if you have a clone of your stuff on another drive that is mounted when you startup), second that your LaunchServices cache files have gotten out of whack. If it is the first case there is nothing to be done about that, if it is the second you can try deleting the cache files:
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore"
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-0140501.csstore"
The first is the general LaunchServices cache, the second is user specific. After deleting them, restart the computer and new cache files will be created. You will also start seeing the "you are launching xxx for the first time" warning if you are in the habit of launching applications by double clicking their files. Eventually you will be on the second time and stop seeing the warning.

I wish to remain with firefox 3.6, the new firefox is very difficult to use because it has no menus. How can I turn off firefox asking me to upgrade?

I tried firefox 4 and it was like the new gui of win 7. I hate this horrid hidden menu system. Can I have classic menus with firefox 5?

I agree with you. Firefox 4 and latest upgrades are not intuitive. It is not intuitive to create browsers that automatically load without a 'Menu Bar'. It would appear that the developers have forgotten that not everyone is super savvy with changing the look of their browser. Not providing a simple 'Classic' button was also a huge mistake.
However, they did provide a method for changing everything.
Click on the orange 'Firefox' button located top left.
Hover over 'Options' and a new dropdown list appears.
Click on 'Menu Bar' to tick it.
The Menu Bar should reappear and the orange Firefox has gone.
To get rid of the 'Tabs on Top' follow the same instructions but this time you can see that 'Tabs on top' has a tick next to it. Click on 'Tabs on Top' to remove the tick and you will find the tabs are returned to the correct position below the Toolbars.
You may also wish to move the 'Home' icon. You can locate it on the far right of the Navigation pane; a small icon with a little house.
Logically, most people like this icon to follow the Back and forward buttons, but placed before the address bar.
To move it:
Click on 'View' then 'Toolbars' then select 'customise'. With this small 'Customise Toolbar' window open you can now hover over the home icon and the cursor will look like an open hand, so left click and hold to grab the icon and drag to a better position if desired. The 'Customise Toolbar' allows you to add eg: printer or place separators to tidy the Navigation toolbar :)

3.6 version to download

MacPro 2.5 GHx, Intel Core 2 Duo, running snow leopard 10.6.7 --Firefox asked me to upgrade, that's when troubles began -- when I open FX, get my default page, then it freezes, disallows any page changes, links die, no page scrolling.

Please, I need help! Working on a MacPro 2.5 GHx, Intel Core 2 Duo, running snow leopard 10.6.7 --
Last week, Firefox asked me to upgrade, that’s when my troubles began -- Now when open Firefox, I get my default page, and then it freezes, disallows any page changes, the links die, no page scrolling --
The only unusual aspect to my previous Firefox configuration, was that I installed a NO SCRIPT thing to get past the New York Times paywall — and I don’t understand how to un-install that, assuming that’s the issue --
Have downloaded and re-installed Firefox, don’t think this has helped in any way, HELP please?!? Thanks, george.

That would at least partially explain it.
These MacBook Pros drew more power than the power brick could readily supply, and so would only run at top speed when the power brick was supplemented by the battery.
Though the applicable tech note has been removed, it stated:
"If the battery is removed from a MacBook or MacBook Pro, the computer will automatically reduce the processor speed. This prevents the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adapter alone can provide."

Firefox 8 starts after upgrade but none of the windows are visible and it crashes on quit

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

What is up with the Quicktime 7.2 upgrade, it DOES NOT WORK!

Quicktime 7.2 Internet Plug-In does not work with Safari? I am very up to date with all the upgrades to maintain security, and this most recent "upgrade" while may be plugging a security hole for the iPhone does not maintain past functionality. I have searched and done most if not all the suggested fixes (repairing permissions, removing Internet Plug-Ins, installing most up to date flash player, un checking Flash Media MIME setting, even forcing Safari to load w/ Rosetta) and am very disappointed with having to force Safari into Rosetta and shocked to hear the suggestion to abandon Apple altogether and use Firefox. I am using Safari to get away from Netscape and third party software to AVOID conflicts. Worse Firefox does in-fact work making me doubt its' security for internet banking.
When is Apple going to FIX this Quicktime Update so that it works?!

Same here. I don't have in Intel Mac, so it's not a Rosetta issue. I've patiently followed every tip I've read in many discussions. Reinstalled Quicktime. Installed Flash 9 Upgrade. Changed Quicktime settings (unchecked enable flash, unchecked Flash Media under MIME settings). Trashed Quicktime preferences.
However in Safari, on upon trying to open any movie trailer on the Quicktime web site
http://www.apple.com/trailers/
or even watch the iLife 08 guided tour
http://www.apple.com/ilife/guidedtour/small.html
I get a Quicktime logo with a question mark. In Firefox (which I've also reinstalled) it quits unexpectedly when trying to open a movie trailer. In my own experiments, I've opened another admin account on my computer and when I log in there, everything works fine. You say "well just use that account then", that would mean me having to transfer all my files to the other account which I don't want to do unless someone has a really quick way to do so. Also, in checking the system preferences for Quicktime under both accounts, I don't see any difference. Both accounts are accessing the same software from the root level Applications folder, so why does it work in one account and not the other? Someone help, as I don't think I can read another 10 page discussion on this.

Quicktime 7.2 upgrade

I downloaded an upgrade for quicktime 7.2 yesterday. Now quicktime wont open. Get an unexpected quit when I open it. Downloaded Perian and still no joy? Can't play anything and my sound seems to have gone as well.
Would appreciate any help.

I just updated to Quicktime 7.2 player, and videos on youTube and other places do NOT work! I get the faded Q with question mark in all of my browsers: Safari, Netscape, Firefox and IE... I have tried all the fixes suggested in another thread, and none still work. Actually, when I upgraded my flash player to 9, Safari's Quicktime stopped working and initially it was the only one that did.
And the irony is that I upgraded so I could BUY (pay for) Quicktime Pro I'm a filmmaker and I need my browsers to play videos!!!! HELP!

Trouble with iTunes-Quicktime-Os X upgrade

I recently bought a used iMac. When trying to install Firefox i get the message that i need the latest MacOsX, trying to upgrade OsX i need the latest version of iTunes, tyring to start iTunes i´m told i need Quicktime 7.5.5 or later. Then i buy Quicktime Pro 7, but still iTunes will not start and continue asking for Quicktime 7.5.5 or later.
I have a MacBook Pro with all the latest software, but i guess i cant transfer i to my iMac.
What to do ?

In order to get current, you need to buy Snow Leopard 10.6.x, this is still available from Apple's online store. IT IS NOT SOLD IN STORES!!!
Next you will need to update SL to version 10.6.8, you can use Apple 10.6.8 update combo to do this.
Next using the Mac App Store upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8.5. This is assuming your iMac has the system requirements to run ML, which are:
General Requirements
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.

iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

How can I download Firefox 4.o to upgrade from Firefox 3.6.16, if after following all instructions the 2-minute download process is completed, but the download window is empty, and Version 4.0 is not installed?

A pop-up box in the lower right corner of the screen says the download is complete. But a search of the entire hard drive does not locate the files. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting Windows---and even shutting down and restarting the computer---after each attempt at downloading, with no different results. I've also tried disabling other programs like V-Tuner and Eudora before downloading. I have no trouble downloading other files, including my original installation of Firefox plus the upgrades. My current version of Firefox (3.6.16) is still working just fine; I tried to upgrade only because 4.0 was announced on-screen today, and I thought I might as well have the latest thing. My operating system is Windows 2000, which I see listed as compatible.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

QuickTime 7.6 upgrade for Tiger breaks system

I am also having problems on Tiger (10.4.11) after upgrading to QuickTime 7.6. Upon reboot after the install completed, I wind up with the login prompt on the console (not the login window, but a true unix login prompt). Logging in and dumping the last portion of /var/log/system.log reveals:

As you can see, I believe there are two errors. The first is the loginwindow error:

Googling brought up a possible solution whose work around seems to be
discussed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1102633
However, the main problem seems to be (perhaps?) a carbon related issue. I am seeing any applications that make use of the Carbon framework seem to be failing.

[there is more but I believe you see the issue].
I am also seeing SecurityAgent crash in a similar manner.
Without a UI (only a shell prompt) how do I back out the QuickTime upgrade?

I tried that and it did not work. The paid functions are still grayed out.
There are three possibilities here:
1) The QT 7 Pro is not activated. In this case, the registration window will not display the QT logo with the word "Pro" superimposed on it, the phrase "QuickTime 7 Pro" will not be displayed below the "Registration Code:" entry, and the "Buy" button will not disappear. (I.e., I assume your version should look something like this if the code is accepted...)
2) You don't have a movie clip loaded. Unless you load a movie, most of the QT 7 Pro features will be grayed out since their functions are often contextual and, therefore, dependent on the data loaded. Additionally, the file loaded must be QT compression and/or edit compatible. For instance, if you try to trim an MPEG-1 video, the associated controls/options are grayed out because QT recognizes that this compression format is not editable at the frame level.
3) Your QT 7 Player application is corrupted/broken for some reason. In this case you would likely have to "extract" a copy of the player and replace the app in your Applications folder. However, this is a very rare chance of happening.
So, at this point you must determine which specific problem you have.

Firefox just tried to upgrade to 9 from 8 and now I am in a loop. it keeps asking to restart to complete new version but will not complete.I have restarted in both safe an normal mode. xp pro and all up to date except firefox any ideas on how to fix this?

Firefox tried to upgrade and it failed.It now has a message about restarting to complete upgrade. you can't uninstall it because the same message appears. it will not start no matter how many restarts. had to switch to chrome.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Downloaded firefox version 10.0 and it does nt open well on my mac book 10.5.8. I want to revert to how things were before firefox invited em to upgrade

As I the question says, things were fine before I recently upgraded firefox as instructed. Now I want to return to a firefox that works better on my older macbook that is running mac os 10.5.8
Please can you help, it crashes eveytime I activate firefox, saying something like, there is a problem with the provider. it really goes slow and does not like it. I usually force quit and start again and it works, but this is unsatisfactory.
Thanks jamie

The problem is likely [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711564 bug 711564] which is related to the Flip4Mac WMV Plugin (to be fixed in Firefox 11). You can disable the Flip4Mac plugin in your Firefox Add-ons Manager, to see if that resolves the problem. Otherwise, you can remove Firefox 10 and revert back to Firefox 3.6.xxx until Firefox 11 is released, which should be in around 6 weeks.
* Firefox 3.6.xx: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
If you are adventurous, you could try Firefox 11 Beta now:

Firefox asked me to upgrade to V4.0 without making clear that it only works on Intel Mac's. Now I have no firefox and have to use Safari. Where can I download V3.6

I downloaded V4 as requested by Firefox, after reading a note saying it supports all systems and languages only to find that it is not compatible with my Mac G5 on OSX 10.4.11. During the upgrade process I deleted V3.6, so now I have no Firefox and presumably have lost all my bookmarks.
What do I do?
