Installing older version of Quicktime for Windows

I have recently acquired an older piece of software that I am told requires Quicktime 6.3 to run and will not run under Quicktime 7.6.2 which I currently have on my computer- acquired with iTunes. If one tries to uninstall the new QuickTime and install the old, nothing works and I get an error 2095 on trying to run QuickTime. Is there a way of doing this, and if I downgrade QuickTime to an earlier version will it interfere with Itunes 8, which I currently have on my computer?

One might take a look thru these post's

Myself would guess old QT msi installer files are hindering the return to QT 6.3, and don't think the registry would be a issue unless a different administrator account was used at some point, I think QT would rewrite the registry

  • 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows

    I'm running 64-bit version of Windows 7 via bootcamp.  I'm running 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010.  I have the latest version of Quicktime installed 7.7.3 something.  I can play the file on the desktop no problem, but when I try to insert the file into Powerpoint or play a file that I inserted previously into Powerpoint on a different system, it says either Quicktime unavailable or you need a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert the file. 
    So, exactly where is a 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows because apparently the one on the Apple website for Windows is not 64-bit.  Everyone keeps saying download the 64-bit version of Quicktime.  Great, tell me where it is.  There is no option for 64-bit on the website.  It doesn't even say it is 64-bit.  It just says its compatible with Windows 7.  Powerpoint 2010 64-bit MUST have a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert or play any Quicktime file.  The OS doesn't give a rats @ss one way or the other.
    The file I previously inserted was playing on a system that apparently had a 32-bit version of Powerpoint installed.  That machine defaults to VLC player on the desktop.  It has no issues with the file.  It's the Quicktime Player mismatch on my machine that is giving me grief.  If I knew Office was going to be a PITA if I installed the 64-bit version I would have stuck with the 32-bit version.
    Ideas?  Where is the 64-bit version?  How do you tell it is 64-bit?  How do you force the installer to make sure it ONLY installs a 64-bit version of it?

    If Microsoft merely off their own decided that only a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be supported by them and did not both checking such a beast existed then this is perfectly believable behavior on the part of Microsoft and they should roast in **** for it.
    If Apple led Microsoft to believe that a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be released like a 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows has been released but then backed out then this is equally believeable behaviour on the part of Apple and then equally the guilty parties at Apple should roast in ****.
    It should be noted that the 64-bit version of iTunes is able to play videos via the 32-bit version of QuickTime. This suggests Microsoft programmers are weak with the force. This would tend to support my theory that Microsoft despite being the biggest software company in the world are better at making hardware than software.
    Moving on to trying to be more constructive…
    Clearly as things stand using the existing and only official version of QuickTime for Windows which is 32-bit only is not going to work in 64-bit Office. It might therefore be worth looking at trying the following.
    Uninstall completely Apple's 32-bit QuickTime for Windows (if installed currently)
    Install QuickTime Alternative - see http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm
    I have no idea if QuickTime Alternative is 64-bit, I have no idea if it will work in 64-bit Office even if it is 64-bit. However it does work in Internet Explorer for Windows, it is free and therefore will cost you nothing to try. If it does not work you can then always uninstall it.
    As another even more abtruse solution, you could try loading your PowerPoint file in to the free iWorks i.e. KeyNote via a free iCloud account. It will allow importing PowerPoint files and will even work in Internet Explorer.

  • Where can I down load older versions of FireFox for windows and Mac for testing my application? I need to have copies of version 3, 4 and 5.

    My tesm develops .net applications that must support many browsers and we need access to download older versions of FireFox for windows and mac computers, so that we can test our application prior to rolling out a new version.
    Where can I download older versions of FireFox

    Firefox 3.5 is an antique version that is chock-full of security vulnerabilities.<br>
    Firefox 3.6 also contains security vulnerabilities; it stopped being supported on April 24.
    * [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/ www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/]
    If you can't run the latest version because your system doesn't meet the requirements, it's highly recommended that you use another browser that is secure. TenFourFox is a third-party build of Firefox that is kept up-to-date and runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and PowerPC Macs (as a side note, I've never seen the site go down; whatever problems James noticed 9 months ago must've been a fluke).

    If your system can run the latest version, but you want to downgrade because you've experienced problems, please start a new thread and someone will try to help you.
    If you understand the security risks but want to downgrade anyway,

  • Why does Apple refuse to make a 64 bit version of quicktime for Windows?

    For those of us in digital media creation Quicktime is a highly used App, how ever access to 4+ gigs of ram is more important. I'm making the switch to a 64-bit OS in the next week or so, and it's really frustrating to see that Apple, after how many years since XP64 first hit, STILL does not have a 64-Bit version of Quicktime. What is the hold up?
    I also don't understand how they can release something where one of the main features is busted for multiple versions. I had to stick with an older version of QT for quite awhile before the load image sequence was fixed. Why are their Windows customers treated as second class citizens?

  • Older versions of Ipod for Windows

    IN looking at my add/remove menu in windows, I have eight versions of "Ipod for Windows" with various dates. Is it safe to uninstall the older versions?

    Yes it is, the iPod updater was integrated with iTunes when version 7 was released. As a back up, you might want to keep the last one in case you ever needed it but dispose of the rest, they are just taking up space.

  • How Do I Remove Older Versions of iPod for Windows

    According to my Add/Remove Programs utility I have iPod for Windows versions 3.8, 4.3, and 4.7 installed on my PC. It appears that these older versions take up quite a bit of memory; however, I am hesitant to try to remove these older versions using this utility because I am afraid of wreaking some sort of irreversible havoc.
    Anybody know about this?

    If you are running the latest version of iTunes (7.1.1.5), then I believe that removing these past versions of iPod software off your computer shouldn't be a problem at all (since now iTunes 7 does not need a standalone iPod updater application).
    To install the latest version of iTunes, see this download page:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    Or, if you don't want to download the latest version of iTunes, just delete the previous versions of iPod software (like 3.8 and 4.3), and keep the latest one on your computer.

  • Minimum version of QuickTime for Windows for Manual Advance QT exports?

    My wife is giving a presentation on Friday and must present on a Windows machine. Her presentation includes a dozen short, embedded video clips, so the only trustworthy way to not completely ruin the flow of the presentation is to export the Keynote to Quicktime.
    No fancy builds or transitions, just standard dissolves and the previously mentioned embedded videos.
    I'm wondering what the lowest version of QuickTime Player for Windows is that will play a manual advance .mov file exported from Keynote '09.
    Thanks.

    The computer should be able to play that file with QT, what happens when you try to open it?
    Here is a sample of H.264 you can test on the computer

  • Install older version of Firefox for Mac OSX 10.4.11

    I accidentally downloaded and wrote over the Firefox version I had with the new 7.0 version of Firefox after I read that my Mac OSX 10.4.11 is not compatible. Is there a way to download an older version, a compatible version of Firefox?

    None of links I tried for Mac on the page http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html are working. But I found a version on the FTP server: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.28/mac/

  • Quicktime for Windows -- on Vista -- opens a .mov movie once, then won't open the move and Quicktime won't even open itself.  I've installed the latest version, and upgraded it to Plus as well.

    I am having trouble opening .mov videos with Quicktime on my PC with Vista.  I installed the latest version of Quicktime for Windows (V.7.7), and upgraded it to Pro.  It will open a .mov file once, then after that it will not open any .mov file and in fact, when I try to open the Quicktime player it will not open itself.  If I switch users to Admin, it all works fine, but when I go back to my regular role (where all of my preferences and programs are there for me to use), the same thing happens.  An .mov file will open once, then never again, and the Quicktime player seems to be disabled.
    I've tried different .mov files, so it's not a corrupt file that's the problem.  And, in the past (a couple of Quicktime versions ago, I guess), all of this worked just fine.
    Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

    I have the exact same problem. They play on my Mac under Snow Leopard. Transfer to Vista gets a window with black and white and some other noise. No sound either.

  • Help with Quicktime for Windows 7 64-bit

    I am having a problem with the latest version of Quicktime for Windows. When I launch Quicktime and then 'click' on any icon for download I can see the sentence, "Connecting to iTunes" and then I am redirected to download iTunes... Problem is that I already have iTunes.
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and up to date.
    iTunes version 11.1.3.8
    Quicktime version 7.74.80.86
    I Unibstalled both products, using the guide provided from Apple. I, then downloaded and installed iTunes first, then I downloaded Quicktime and installed it. I had the same issue. Next, I went to Control Panel/ "programs and Features, used the "change" option and clicked "repair". I did this for both iTunes and Quicktime. They ran fine. No error messages, nothing in event logs, no trace of an install log to try to diagnose this myself. Does anyone have this problem, or can anyone help me to start the diagnosis necessary to solve this?
    Second issue came to light after all of the steps I performed; Before, I would conect my iPhone to a USB port and iTunes would launch automatically. Now, it does not. I see my 4s in devices and I see a normal state using device manager. So, I went to "Default Programs" and selected my 4s and the dropdown window no longer has an option for iTunes. However, when I go to choose a default program for audeo, etc. the dropdown mwnu has an option for iTunes.
    Thanks for reading and I would like some help.

    I found the problem and the solution. In Internet Explorer ver 11 / manage plugin's, make sure that the Apple plugin's are enabled. My setings were incorrect, the plugin ws siabled. Enabled it and all is well!

  • Cannot Install AppleWorks 6.2.2 for Windows

    I've got a student of ours trying to use AppleWorks 6.2.2 on a Windows XP Pro machine. They've got it installed presently but it's having numerous issues (buttons along the top (bold, italics, new link, etc) sometimes don't work, they're unable to browse Help, and many other things. I've tried to reinstall Appleworks 6.1 over top of 6.2.2 and I'm receiving an error message saying that Internet Explorer 5 or must be installed first - which it obiously is.
    Has anyone else run across any of these issues and found a way to fix them?
    Thanks!

    What version of QuickTime for Windows is installed?
    I believe QT 5 or greater is needed although the download specs call for QT 4.1.2 or greater.
    Another possibility is QT may need to be reinstalled.

  • Issues with playback on Quicktime for Windows

    Hi All,
    I created a little slide show within iPhoto containing 290 pictures and lasting about 30 minutes. I exported it to a .mov file which was added as a video clip within FCE. Next, in FCE, I added background music, some video transitions and exported the completed project using H.264 codec. The .mov file plays fine on the Mac within the Quicktime Player. But not so hot on a Windows XP Pro laptop. In the final 90 seconds of the 30 minute movie, the screen goes green and the audio is replaced with static.
    I have all of the updates for my workstation and the tools that I am using, (FCE, iPhoto). I have tried different versions of Quicktime for Windows, re-exported the movie from FCE and tried playback on different XP systems all with the same result.
    Again, the first 28:30 of the movie plays perfect and looks great, but that last 90 seconds goes nuts.
    Unfortunately, the presentation of this video requires that I play it back on the PC laptop.
    Thanks for offering any advice you may have.

    Hello,
    I am currently trying to play the file directly from the computer's hard drive. I will take your advice and export again as an mpeg. Any advice on what mpeg settings render the best looking videos?

  • I uninstalled older version of Itunes because for some reason it wouldn't start. I installed new version 10.7 for 64 bit (windows 7) and it WONT RUN either. help please

    I couldn't get my 10.6 version of Itunes to open, so I uninstalled it. Installed newer version 10.7 for 64 bit (windows 7) and it won't run either. Please help?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Older version of Quicktime won't uninstall - can't install newer version

    I am trying to install iTunes 7.5 and Quicktime 7.1 on computer. Keep getting error that older version of Quicktime cannot be uninstalled. Have tried "add/remove" software function on Windows XP; have also tried to manually delete the files. Still get the same answer! Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    +The message I am getting says enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Quicktime.msi'. I have searched for this file and I do not have it on my computer.+
    Typically, when you get those sorts of messages (in conjunction with the "cannot uninstall program" message), there's a problem with the installation configuration information for the existing version of QuickTime on the PC.
    So let's try the following procedure.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those QuickTime entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (5) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (6) Restart your computer.
    Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?
