How do you uninstall Quicktime?

I would LOVE to uninstall Quicktime. I got my hands on version 7.0.3 and I want to install it but I can't because my iMac won't let me.
If this was Windows, all you'd have to do is click on the Uninstall icon that comes with every program and baddabingbaddaboom we're back on track.
I'm just trying to get audio to work with Quicktime again. I got the same problem everyone else has. Solutions fond here aren't working... yet.

You can't. QT is intergraded throughout the system & many apps (Apple) depend on it.
However, you can do an Archive & Install & use Software Update to update to QT 7.0.2. Then use the 7.0.3 full installer.
IMPORTANT: Maker sure you select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I?

How do you uninstall Quicktime 7.1.3 and get back to 7.1.2

As many of you seem to be experiencing, Quicktime 7.1.3 is causing iPhoto 6 to crash when pictures edited in Photoshop are opened in iPhoto.
I want to get back to Quicktime 7.1.2 so that I can use iPhoto properly.

Hi there,
The only way to go back in time is to use your install disk and run an archive and install... but then you will need to upgrade again incrementally
I would try posting your question either in the G5 forum or the quicktime forum here: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=122

How do I uninstall Quicktime 7?

Wow, Quicktime 7 is terrible, and it unregistered my QT6 Pro key. How do I uninstall Quicktime 7 and go back to QT6?

What you CAN do is to get a copy of the Quicktime Player.app file from QuickTime 6.5 (ONLY THE APP FILE, NOT ANY OF THE FRAMEWORKS!) and install that on your machine. Be sure to give it a unique name (such as "Quicktime Player 6.app"). You can open the prefs on that and enable the pro features in QuickTime 6, but not in QuickTime 7, using your QT-6 registration code. QT-6 will then be running on the QT-7 framework. It does seem to work in Tiger; I don't have Leopard to test it with, but thanks to some BUGS! in QT-7, this is the configuration I have to use for a CATV video playback channel application I am working on.
Thanks to Quicktime Kirk for pointing out that this is possible. Sorry, you're on your own to find a working copy of the QuickTime 6.5.3 app. Note that you need ONLY the application package; everything else on your system should remain QT-7.

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-
Mark

How do I uninstall quicktime so it stops reverting to an older version?

How do I uninstall quicktime so it stops reverting to an older version despite having chosen to download 7.5.5?
I seem to be in a vortex!!

What exactly is happening? I'm not understanding your description of the problem but going purely on your mentioning Quicktime and seeing you are running Leopard I suspect you re-installed your operating system and the answer is:
QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. One person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.

How do you extract QuickTime favorites?

Summary
How do you extract QuickTime 7 Favorites?
Narrative
Approximately QT 7.6.1, you could readily extract Favorites in text format from com.apple.quictimeplayer.prefs; however, somewhere in the recent updates, QT started gnarling the data.
Neither PrefEdit nor Property List Editor seem to enable you to extract the URLs in plain text format from com.apple.quictimeplayer.prefs. Neither allow you to select-copy-paste. Both separate the root URL (and binaryize it) from the sub folders and place them in different folders.

Hi,
As you are using Adobe Reader, extraction of pages is an option. You would require the Acrobat to this task for you

How do you uninstall in a Mac?

Thank you!

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

How do you uninstall Windows 10 Dual Boot?

Hello,
I am running a dual boot installation of Winodws 8.1 and 10 Techical Preview, and I like to know how do you uninstall the Windows 10 from the dual boot scheme? I think I've uninstalled previous beta versions of windows 8 by erasing the partition it
was installed into and that was it. Is this the correct way to remove window 10 too? Just asking, since the graphical version of the OS boot screen is present in this dual boot installation, does that change anything.

If yes, right click at Win 8.1 partition > click Extend Volume > click Next > at Select the amount of space in MB, type in the maximum available space shown for the unallocated space in MB > Next > Finish
The space shrunk for Win 10 partition is now back to your Win 8.1

How do you uninstall applications in OS X specifically classic (os 9)

how do you uninstall applications in OS X specifically classic (os 9)

Do you mean you want to remove Classic (OS 9)?
If so, there's not much to it. First, be sure you don't need, or plan to use any OS 9 or earlier applications. You'll need Classic to run them if you do. Second, back up any files created with those older apps if you need to.
Once you're ready, delete the following folders:
System Folder (NOT System. That's the OS X system folder.)
Applications (Mac OS 9) (NOT Applications. Those are the OS X apps.)
If OS X complains that it can't empty the trash because "items are in use", restart and you should then be able to empty the trash.

How do you uninstall Oracle 6i?

How do you uninstall Oracle 6i? There isn't an Oracle icon/logo under the Add/Remove Program utility nor is there an uninstall feature on the Oracle 6i program menu bar. Hopefully, there is a method to removing the software w/o digging through system directories and deleting Oracle related files. I'm an Oracle newbie, so take it easy on me.

Open Finder >> Applications >> Utilities >> Terminal
Now in Terminal type “ cd /Applications/” this will navigate you to Applications Directory
Now type “ sudo rm –rf iTunes.app/” this will delete iTunes from Mac OS X
Now you will be prompted to provide “Administrator Password”, Enter the same and confirm to remove iTunes from Mac OS X.
