How do I restore QT Pro?

I just finished re-installing my system and realized that I did not save my QT Pro information, but it has been backed up in my time machine backups.
So, my question is how can I go into my backups and bring QT back to the way it was prior to my re-install of the system? ALSO, I had a utility that worked with QT showing up in my System Preferences program. Is there any way to bring it back as well?

Quicktime only requires that you enter your Quicktime Pro key to access the pro features. If you purchased your QT Pro key from Apple online you can just look it up on your Apple account. You would need to know where and in what form Apple hides the QT Pro key in order to recover it from your backup. I would also expect it to be encrypted as well.
What utility are you referring to? The best solution would be to simply re-install it. You never know what files utilities place where for their proper operation. Was this a free utility? Download it again and re-install.

  • How to I restore Macbook Pro and keep OS upgrades?

    I have an 09' MacBook Pro and have upgraded the OS along the way.  Now I bought a new computer and want to restore it and give it to the kids.  Can I restore it with the factory disc without losing the upgraded OS?  I upgraded with a family pack with my brother so I don't have the upgrade disc, he does.  Thoughts?

    You have no choice but to get the Snow Leopard upgrade disk to do what you want.

  • How can I restore mac pro back to original with snow leopard

    I want to restore my macpro back to original, I dont have restore disk, just snow leopard disk. How can I do this?  Thanks

    A nice phone call to Apple usually results in a replacement disk being sent to you.
    I understand your intention is to give this computer away. If you were selling it, not having the original install disks dramatically lowers its value.

  • My Macbook Pro was stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. New hard drive is too small for a Time Machine restore. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) on my new Macbook without repurchasing them?

    My Macbook Pro was recently stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. I attempted to simply do a restore from the Macbook Pro's Time Machine backup, but since the new Macbook Air's hard drive is significantly smaller, a Time Machine restore was not possible. I even tried to choose only settings or only my User Profile (option) when restoring, but the backup was still too large to do a restore onto the new machine. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) onto my new Macbook without repurchasing them? Also, I reaad somewhere that if you went to the Mac App Store and attempted to repurchase the app and clicked BUY, it would simply alert you that you have already purchased the app (and trigger a re-download)... NOT THE CASE... So I just dropped another $19.99 for a second copy of Pages... Not my intention....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    you should get a usb backup drive as well.  time machine has limited use in my eyes. it saves things. but older things can be errased ad space drops without telling you
    nothing beats data redundancy.  2 saves is. 1.    and 1 is none
    im personally not fond of time machne though i use it only for a recovery parameter for a mac
    id never ever myself consider time machine a genuine data backup tool.  though most do consider it as such
    drive clones such as superduper and carbon copy cloner can clone your entire drive for emergency recovery.  and you can boot from them as well o. another mac

  • How can I restore my new Macbook pro to Factory setting?

    How can I restore my new Macbook pro to Factory setting?

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: Be sure you have an active internet connection.

  • How do i restore my macbook pro to factory to resell it

    How do I restore my macbook pro to factory to resell it?

    You'll need both gray discs that shipped with your MacBook Pro. If you no longer have them you can (with your serial number handy) order a set from Apple for around $20.
    Then follow the instructions here -> How to prepare your Mac for sale.
    Note that you MUST restore with the original OS that shipped with your Mac!

    Lion installs both itself and a Recovery HD. Booting the latter is how you reinstall Lion or fix things with Disk Utility. So, what you can do is this:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    Now, this will completely erase the volume in which Lion is currently installed. When you then reinstall Lion it will be like coming fresh from the factory ready for a new user. I hope this is a working solution for your problem. If it is not, then I would encourage you to create a new topic more relevant to your needs which will solicit others to offer help. That isn't going to happen in someone else's already old topic. Had I not forgotten to stop email notifications from this topic, then I never would have been aware or your post.

  • How do i restore my macbook pro to sell it

    how do i restore my macbook pro to sell it

    Back up the entire system onto an external drive for the last time.
    Locate the original install media that came with the Mac.
    Boot off the media, start up Disk Utility.
    If needed, repartitiion the internal drive to a single partition (i.e., get rid of BootCamp)
    Format the internal drive.
    If paranoid, do a Security Erase of the drive.
    Quit Disk Utility, start the OS X installer
    Install the full OS X with all the trimmings onto the internal drive
    When the install finishes, shut it down. Do not restart, to allow new owner to customize via Setup Assistant.

  • How do I restore lost contacts from my macbook pro?

    We have a  MacBook Pro.
    It has all contacts in the address book and then they are broken down into groups for myself, my husband and 2 kids.  My husband deleted all of my contacts from his iPhone. When I synced it with the MacBook Pro, it asked me if I wanted to delete 50+ contacts. I said yes assuming it would only delete for him......well it deleted all the contacts he wanted removed from his iPhone, from my iPhone and from the MacBook Pro.  So the question is;  how do I restore those contacts.  We have I phone 4s' and recently updated to OSX Version 10.9.4.  Any suggestions?

    You restore them from your most recent backup.
