Help Quicktime Pro will not Activate

I purchased the full version of Quicktime Pro 7 on December 28th last year, and I wish to reinstall it on a fresh new iMac, but every-time I enter the activation codes and my name (which are exactly as Apple supplied them in the original sale receipt email) it comes back as "Invalid Code"
I have tried cut and pasting them in, inputting them manually (making sure that the correct case is used) all to no effect.
It is driving me absolutely nuts, and I cannot find any where to contact Apple for help on this. It would appear that Apple are of the opinion that "...we have the money - sort it out yourself..."
Can anyone here please help or advise me on this as I am really fed up with it.
Kind regards
Drusus

Sorry I should have explained better.
The key was purchased for the Mac version on Dec. 28 2005 when I bought my iMac which is a PowerPC version.
I should have said I was installing it on a freshly formatted iMac (I was having a few problems with Adobe Creative Suite and decided to do a fresh 'erase & Install of OS X on the iMac to help clear out some of the crud that had accrued) and seeing as this is the same machine it was installed on prior to the reinstall of the O/S, it should still work.
Everything else works just fine, in fact better now that I have done the 'Erase & Install'.
I cannot find anywhere for the telephone support for Apple in the UK, and even then as I understand I have to pay £35 for the pleasure as it is over 90 since I registered it.
I cannot say that I think Apples support is very good at all - everywhere I look it just points me back to the Discussions forums.

    If yes, please try Help -> Repair option to repair Acrobat XI pro. Then try to perform the covert operation.
    2) Let me know the Operating system installed on your computer.
    3) Is there any error code or error message?

    Quicktime on my Mac runs a URL dot mov file.  On My WINXP Quicktime Pro will not.  Anyone know what's wrong.

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

  • QuickTime Pro will not open .wma (Error #2048)

    I have a few .wma movie files that I have created in (the horrible) "Windows Live Movie maker".
    I wanted to be able to play these files on my iTunes, so I foolishly purchased QuickTime Pro after reading the description. "QuickTime 7 Pro can convert your media to different formats, so you can watch a movie or video on your iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV..". But it refuses to open any .wma files so that I can convert them. I keep getting the error message #2048. I read somewhere that installing new codecs might help...? If so, please treat me like 5 year old and explain to me where to start with that. Or should I just give up on it altogether?
    It is really frustrating... I've ripped my hair so much I have bald spots and they are growing by the minute
    Any solutions for this problem will be very much appriciated! Thanks!

    I was afraid of that.. :-(
    Yeah... well, I've tried to import the files to iTunes, both through drag'n drop and by Files/Add to Library but nothing, zip, zero happens. Not even an error message appears. I have no problem with adding mpeg4 files but I get no reaction when trying to add the wma's...

  • Quicktime pro will not export movies

    Last year, after I updated to qt 7.X I and bought the pro key, it would no longer export movies correctly. It was a common problem and the fix was to uninstall it and reainstall 6.X. Since then it has been updated several times and is required for itunes. So, I finally reupdated to 7.X (7.2 as of this morning) and what a surprise, qt 7 still does not export movies correctly. It takes hours to export and then fails. Just like when qt7 first came out. Now, I cant even find the link to uninstall the crap and reinstall 6.X

    Ok, let me see if I can clarify some. What I want is for the quicktime pro 7 that I payed for to work. I do not want to have to uninstall it and go back to qt6 (which I already know works properly because I had to resort to reinstalling it once before). Yes, I was irritated that I could not find the link to revert to qk6 as a last resort. But, I would rather not take that last resort. I would like the product I bought to operate correctly. Especially since itunes and other apps will no longer work with qk6. QT7 has been update around half a dozen times since it was released and still does not operate correctly. And I certainly don't want the hassle of reinstalling the entire operating system.
    The two problems I am having with qt7 are... (1)It takes hours to export the same files that qt6 used to export in minutes. (2)With qt7, when I export an mp4 video, only quicktime on Macs will play the video. Any other player, even quicktime on windows, can only play the audio. Wmp does not play it at all. This did not happen with qt6. Any player could see the entire movie with no issues. Now, I can avoid the second problem by exporting it as a quicktime movie instead of an mp4, but it is nowhere near as efficient as an mp4. The file sizes with a qt movie are much bigger, yet the quality is much lower. I don't believe I changed any settings that could have caused the mp4s to suddenly stop working correctly on other players.
    And i'm currently at work on another computer, so if teh problem doesnt sound familiar to anybody and I cant be helped without knowing the codecs i'm using, I guess i'll have to wait until I get home to look that up. But if you can suggest codecs in the meantime that maybe I have not tried, I could try those while I wait to see if the codecs I am using are wrong.

  • Quicktime Pro will not open

    I recently purchased Quicktime Pro v.7 for the PC. After installation I was able to access the program ONCE. Now when I attempt to open the program, it appears to be opening then drops to the bar a the bottom of the screen (minimized). It will not expand / restore, so it's really quite useless. I re-installed it several times, even got a clear download and removed the old file. It simply will not work. I spent what seems like a lifetime looking for help on this site, or (imagine this concept) some sort of actual interactive support option here at Apple.com.
    If anyone can help or knows the secret handshake to actually talk to someone at Apple, please share.

    Resolved! I used some of the KB info on the Apple site and gleaned that the problem may be with the user identity. Don't know why, and don't really care at this point. What I did was create a new user on my computer, then using that identity, opened QT Pro. It worked! Then, I switched back to the other ID and QT Pro opened for that user as well. (Note the word 'switched' may be related to the message 'switching' on the QT Pro opening window.)
    I hope this works for you too. After I got the app to open for my original identity, I was able to delete the new one and it continues to work fine.
    And finally, yes, I was able to get the app to open by opening a .mov file. Good luck!

  • Quicktime Pro will not export - it hangs with 'initializing'...

    I got a new iPod video for Christmas. I downloaded iTunes (7.0.2) and then upgraded to Quicktime Pro using the quicktime installed on my Windows PC (7.1.3). I fired up quicktime and tried to export several different AVI files to ipod format. Every time, it starts the process, shows 'initializing...' and then hangs indefinitely. I noticed my computer is running at around 60% cpu. I've seen this same problem shown in a number of different posts - but no one has found a solution to this problem yet. Since I'm new to quicktime/ipod, I can offer only a very limited viewpoint, but it seems to me based on my experience and the number of other unanswered posts on this same issue, that there may be a bug in the software. I'm really excited about my new ipod video, but I'd enjoy it much more if I could actually get my videos on to it.

    Converting to iPod settings takes a long time.
    Try this as a test:
    View and save any online video (a movie trailer for example).
    Open this file, note it size and time, and export to iPod.
    Time the export so you know how long the conversion takes.
    Multiply this two minute (or whatever) conversion by the time of your AVI and you'll know about how long it will take.
    My Mac and QuickTime converts while I sleep.

  • Quicktime Pro will not upgrade on Windows 8.1

    Purchased Quicktime Pro via Apple Store- applied the the registration key and the app reports "invalid registration". Quicktime version 7.7.5.
    TOSHIBA Satellite P75-A
    WINDOWS 8.1
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU@ 2.40GHz 240GHz
    8GB RAM
    64-bit OS, x64-based processor

    Duhhh...needed to change the "registered to" name field- it had previously defaulted to my email address...when I applied my Apple Store ID name, in the "registered to" - the upgrade worked.
    This should be noted in the email with the license key/upgrade sent to the purchaser.

  • After last uppgrade, Quicktime Pro will not play audio on my avi movies.

    After last update, I will not get the audio on my old .avi movies. Does Anyone else have the same problem?

    That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.
    Many thanks.

  • Help - macbook pro will not switch on

    I have had my macbook pro for about 2 years, it is the older version but is running leopard. When I switch it on it goes to a grey screen with the apple logo and the timer, after staying like this for a while it then switches itself off.
    A friend suggested I cold started it (holding down the power button) and also holding down shift to whilst restarting it, neither of these worked.
    I have not dropped it, I believe it is charged to full battery and I save nearly all my files on an external hard drive so it shouldn't be full.
    Please can anyone suggest anything I can do to help or suggest what the problem may be. My friend said that I possibly have a problem with my hard drive?
    Thank you,
    Lucinda.

    Possible. Insert Install DVD 1 (that came with your MBP) and try booting with the c key pressed. If/when you see the menu bar (after language selection) select Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select your HDD in the list, and click Verify Disk. If errors are found, click Repair Disk.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate... disconnect display, open lid laptop display will not activate... used to work fine.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button.  Worked fine before Lion update.   Any Advice?

    Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
    Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
    The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
    I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine. 
    Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway. 
    Oh well...
    Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out.  Thanks very much for responding!!!

  • Hi, i just updated my iphone 3gs to iso5 now it will not activate ive ''try again'' alot but not getting anywere please help!!

    hi, i just updated my iphone 3gs to iso5 now it will not activate ive pressed ''try again'' alot but not getting anywere please help! i need my phone for work not had it too long and really annoyed lol thanks,

    Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
    Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
    Note that you will void the warranty and loose official support by Apple.
    Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Anyway, give a try resetting all your settings:
