How do I 'buy' Quicktime Pro?

I am new to Mac and trying to set up the new Mac for Video Editing.
I tried buying Quicktime from the Apple site - but it wont accept my Australian phone number, I tried everything but it would not take my money. Finally I called some friends and they said it was because of different pricing arrangements and said I had to load my software from the Australian shop. What the? - so instead of paying $29, I went to the Australian online shop - which charges $49. Ok, I got over that after some ranting.
Then it says when I 'buy' it, it will send me a password to enter into Quicktime 7 Preferences - but First it says I need to download Quicktime 7. So I did that, but it refuses to load this, as the Mac says to me that there is ALREADY Quicktime X loaded on my machine. So I look - and yes I have Quicktime 10.
So if I have ten and I cant get 7, how do I upgrade to Pro?
The entire object is to set up Final Cut Pro - however I need to convert all the other types of movies that FCP cant handle. And I am led to believe Quicktime PRO 7 does that to at least some of the videos I have.
I have heaps I need to use - and they are
.3gp
.avi    (which I want to use Quicktime Pro to convert)
.DIF
.flv
.mpg
.mpeg
.m2v
.mp4
.mov
.wmv
But - to start with - how do I get PRO to load?

According to the various support notes - if I have FCP installed first (I have) and then I install QT7, it should automatically become PRO. It doesnt. So now what?
Any ideas?
Re-run the FCP installation. I believe it has to "see" QT 7 while installing before the FCP installer will upgrade the QT 7 Player to QT 7 Pro. (Same solution if the automatic "Pro" registration is lost during OS upgrade/installation.)
With Regard to QT 7 registration, if you actually purchased a QT 7 "Pro" key and did not receive the email with registration name and key number, then contact customer service at the online Apple store where you purchased the key. (Be sure to have purchaser order information available.) Non-receipt of confirmation email may indicate the "key" was not properly generated. If they can confirm this, then your money should be refunded and, since you no longer need the key with FCP use, you should be good to go...

    DO you have the free Quicktime player?
    You can buy Quicktime Pro from the Help menu.
    I haven't done so myself so I can't talk you though it.
    If you don't have the free player, you can download it from:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    If you don't want iTunes, be sure to download the version without iTunes.

  • How can I buy QuickTime 7 pro key code?

    I wanted to buy QuickTime 7 pro key code but I couldn't. I live in Iceland and it was not in a list of countries. How can I buy QuickTime 7 pro key code?

    Thank you Gary Scotland but I have tried to buy it from the URL. But when I filled in my address and credit card number, filling my address was failed. My address is in ICELAND, not in the USA so it was not accepted. And before clicking "Buy now", I tried to choose a country but ICELAND was not in a list of countries so I couldn't change a country.
    Have you tried to contact the Rekjavik Apple dealer or macland to see if they could help you?

  • How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?

    Hi,
    How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?
    I've got a new computer and I want to uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on the new system. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but a bunch of other applications have easy 'uninstall' functions right in the application toolbar. Why doesn't Quicktime?????
    Thanks.

    I've read that Q/T is not just a simple application but in reality, a major component of the OS. This is where it varies from other similar acting apps like WMV, AVI, FLV etc. To butress this statement, in a vague way, I remember seeing a graphic of the Mac OS when Apple was first pushing "X". QuickTime was in the same general area of depth in programming as UNIX.
    So, you might not want to delete all of QuickTime just the Reg Key which should/could/might put you back to the non Q/T Pro functionality and thence legal to install on another machine.
    Just be certain that the version on the new machine is the same as on the old machine or expect to buy a new $30 key.
    Cheers-

  • Why buy Quicktime Pro?

    What are the advantages of buying Quicktime Pro? I ask this is this folder becuase I was planning on using Quicktime to import video. Other than that, any reasons why I would want it? I could care less about watching movie trailers fullscreen etc....
    thanks all

    Thank you guys.
    You have answered my questions. I do remember someone telling me that QT was somewhat rudimentary compared to FCP, but that has been a while.
    If I wanted to still use the liscense, where is it located on the packaging?? Or is it imbedded?
    I also just realized I posted my question in the wrong folder, sorry. But again, thank you for your help!!
    Resolution, Use FCP for import, and do not bother with QT.

  • How can I get quicktime pro 7 running

    I bought quicktime pro 7 a couple of years ago and have a registration code.  At the time I used the program to make some time lapse movies.  I'd like to make a couple of time lapse movies again but quicktime pro 7 is no where to be found.  This probably ha something to do with updating the os between then and now.  The question is how can I get quicktime pro 7 running again?  The unlocking instructions I have for quicktime pro 7 that I received with the key do not correspond with what the system preferences now show.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  I am currently running OS X version 10.9.5 on an older iMac.

    Open the QuickTime 7 player(if it’s not installed, click here), choose Registration from the QuickTime Player 7 menu, and supply your key there.

  • I've bought quicktime pro, entered the registration code but am directed to buy quicktime pro again

    I've bought quicktime pro, entered the registration code but am directed to buy quicktime pro again. Quicktime 7 is showing 'Pro' after I enter registration under 'Registration'. I have an email receipt from Apple store saying it is purchased. Yet when I try to use the Pro features they are greyed out. Ripped off?

    I've bought quicktime pro, entered the registration code but am directed to buy quicktime pro again.
    Are you pressing the "RETURN" key to enter the registered information or the "TAB" key? "Pro" registration instructions clearly state that the "TAB" key must be used. If you used the "TAB" key to register the "Pro" key information and the "Pro" features are still grey, do you actually have a file loaded in a player window. I.e., the "Pro" features cannot be accessed if a file has not been opened in the application since they are context adaptive and, as QT Kirk pointed out, must be able to "see" the type of file you wish to edit since the features available may depend on which type of file you are trying to edit.

  • How can I reinstall QuickTime Pro on Win7?

    I purchased QuickTime Pro in September. Then this week, I upgraded my PC from Windows XP to Windows 7. In doing so, I had to wipe out my PC's partition and re-install every program back on my PC.
    This has been a relatively painless process, except for QuickTime Pro. I re-installed Quick Time 7 (the free version) on my PC but there appears to be no way to upgrade the free version of QT back to Pro without purchasing this product all over again (and I refuse to do that).
    I've tried talking to Apple's technical support. They've given me directions written for previous versions of Windows, but there appears to be no instructions for how to upgrade to QT Pro if you have Windows 7.
    I've been on the phone with their technical support for the past two hours and no one at Apple appears to know how I could reinstall QuickTime Pro.
    I'm astonished.

    Here's the link to retrieve your lost registration key http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2376
    What version of QT did you have on XP? If you had QT version 6.X pro then you would have to purchase a new QT pro key for QT 7. As Apple releases complete new versions of QT they require a new pro key, updates to a version do not. In other words the pro key for QT 6 does not work with QT 7.
    And if you were using QT pro 6.X you cannot revert back to that version. Because QT 6 doesn't support windows 7

Both on a desk top and a laptop. Win 7, QT version 7.7.1. No joy! I've been on the phone with Apple for a little more than an hour, so far. They have my money. anyone have any Ideas? Just kiss the thirty bucks goodbye?

    You,Sir, are "The Man"! I followed the instructions and - viola - Joy in Mudville. Thank you, keep up the great work. Even the "Apple" people don't seem to know this. I was on the phone with them, passed from one to another, for over an hour. While waiting I stumbled on your advise and I was made free! If they ask you, charge them a mint for the information. You Sir have gone where no Apple has gone before.

  • Cannot use itunes or quicktime since buying quickTime Pro

    Itunes and Quicktime were working great. I purchased the key for QuickTime Pro and input it. Now, whenever I start itunes I get "please wait while windows configures itunes..." but it never configures.
    When I click "Quicktime Player" I get "Could not load or find the quicktime active X control".
    I have tried running both programs as an administrator, rebooting, reinstalling, etc. The programs are both hosed.
    I tried the registry edits suggested. When running AS AN ADMINISTRATOR I get "pcast cannot be opened. An error is preventing this key from being opened. Access is denied"
    How do I get this working again? I'm going to challenge the charge on my credit card if I can't get my system back the way it was.

    I have the same problem. Is there any soluations?
