Need Help Removing Quicktime Pro 7 in Snow Leopard

I am trying to uninstall my Quicktime Pro registration. It came with a piece of software I no longer have on my machine, and I'd like to remove it.
Unfortunately, there is no visible serial code shown for Quicktime (somehow, it simply detected that I had Final Cut Pro installed at one point and automatically registered).
I cannot figure out where/how to reset this or what to delete to make Quicktime Pro go away. Please advise.

I'm not sure if it's the same as when you enter in a purchased key, but look in your user/Library/Preferences/ByHost for a com.apple.QuickTime.xxx.plist file (where "xxx" is probably a long string of letters and numbers) and if there is one, delete it and see if that clears the registration.
Hope this helps.

  • I NEED HELP WITH QUICKTIME PRO!!!!

    I JUST BOUGHT QUICKTIME PRO AND I AM TRYING TO MAKE A FAMILY DVD WITH VIDEOS FROM MY VIVITAR DVR 840XHD CAMCORDER. I PLUG IN THE CAM THRU MY USB AND WHEN I GO TO OPEN THE VIDEO'S WHICH ARE SAVED AS .AVI FORMAT, QUICKTIME SAYS THAT I NEED TO DOWNLOAD THIRD PARTY CONNECTIONS AND NO VIDEO'S SHOW UP. I DOWNLOADED EVERY SINGLE CONNECTION EXCEPT DIVX BECAUSE IT DOESNT SUPPORT MY PPC UNIT AND STILL I GET NO PICTURE OR SOUND...ITS JUST PITCH BLACK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I NEED IN ORDER TO VIEW MY VIDEOS ON QUICKTIME PRO. I DO USE A HD SD CARD BUT I DON'T THINK THATS THE PROBLEM...PLEASE IF SOMEONE KNOW'S WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP...THANK YOU.

    PLEASE IF SOMEONE KNOW'S WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP
    AVI is a file container -- not a compression format. To know what codec you need, you have to check the Finder "Information", QT "Inspector", QT 7 Pro "Properties", or similar multimedia window that will tell you what audio and/or video codec was used to encode your file. If the codec is available for the Mac, you would then download and install the specif component or component package providing the needed support. Most common AVI components are supported by the Perian component package... but not all. If you simply ant to try a "hit or miss" installation approach, then you should propably start here if you have not already installed the latest version. However, be sure to read the warnings regarding known conflicts with certain other components which now may have to be removed.

  • Quicktime Pro 7 on Snow Leopard displays black with uncompressed Quicktime

    Hi, I have searched these discussions but with no luck so far. Any help will be greatly appreciated but I have the feeling there may be no solution to my problem. Perhaps the new 64 Bit Quicktime 7 is missing the codecs I need.
    For more than five years I have been exporting uncompressed Quicktimes from an online workstation (Autodesk Flame) to my G5 to make small quicktimes to email clients to see work in progress, or to make file sequences for upload and also to make DVDs fro client presentations outside my online suite. I would export an uncompressed Quicktimes of, (for instance), a 30" TV Commercials (of around 1GB) from my online workstation fro my Mac to deal with. This week I changed my five year old G5 for a Snow Leopard Mac Mini. My Quicktime 7 Pro license transferred fine, but it seems to me Quicktime 7 is working quite differently and iDVD also. When I open an uncompressed quicktime created from my online workstation the video is Black , but I can hear the audio. It still allows me to make a small H264 quicktime but I can't export file sequences correctly. The frames created are black. iDVD also creates black DVDs but with sound. BTW I have the same problem if I export an uncompressed AVI from Flame.
    I thought it might be hardware limitation of the Mac-mini, but some simple tests indicate that's not the case. From my online machine I can export an uncompressed Targa file sequence of the Commercial and an uncompressed wav sound file instead of an uncompressed Quicktime. I can then use Quicktime 7 to put them together make an uncompresses quicktime from the Targa sequences combined with audio and it displays the video fine and I can do whatever I want with it, but it takes time to create. This uncompressed quicktime file is around the same size 1GB as the uncompressed movie file that I am trying to get Quicktime 7 to display, that I normally export from Flame. (And BTW the Mac Mini renders quicktimes nearly three times faster than my 2004 G5 and can play back the 1GB uncompressesd file it made with hardly a glitch, The G5 would choke if i tried to play an uncompressed movie).
    This kind of uncompressed Quicktime that I can make from Targa files using Quicktime 7 Pro seem to be exactly the same as the uncompressed Quicktimes my Autodesk Flame exports. In the properties window the video codec is "None, 720 x 576 Millions+" in both cases, and it is of course a .mov. So why the difference? My big problem is that the uncompressed quicktimes exported from Flame are not able to be handled as well by my Mac as before. I know I can export file sequences with a separate audio files and put them together in Quicktime but when I am working on a commercial I might want to do this 20 times a day. Exporting an uncompressed file with audio is much less hassle. I would just drop it in iDVD and make a DVD or get Quicktime to re-encode it for email. My Post Production clients pay me to work on the online workstation and I don't want to spend extra time on my Mac-mini. I was hoping to spend less....
    I hope I have been clear enough explaining my problem. Thanks very much for any tips.

    Harold

    Hi there,
    I can confirm that this seems to be a bug in Quicktime where it tries to multiply the alpha channel against the contents of your movie file.
    I had a bunch of Apple Animation quicktimes that are suddenly playing back as all black. I opened one of these movies in Shake and noticed that it had an all black alpha channel. So, as an experiment, I added an ellipse as an alpha channel (making sure it was not pre-multiplied against the image) and wrote this movie out as an Apple Animation. Sure enough, quicktime would now play back an image where the contents were only visible inside the the ellipse. I.e. it is multiplying the image by the alpha channel.
    So, the issue is that quicktime multiplies the alpha channel against the contents of the movie.
    The workaround is to re-encode your movies with solid white alpha channels (I have been unable to write out an Apple Animation movie without any alpha channel at all). Most likely you don't care what is in your alpha channel (the Apple Animation codec seems to add it whether you actively request it or not), but if you do, then I don't know how to get around this problem.
    Also... what a pain. I don't really relish re-encoding all of my quicktimes. I will also file a bug (or piggy back on the one already filed). Hopefully we can get this fixed soon.

  • Need help with Mountain Lion downgrade to Snow Leopard

    Recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, my daily applications do not work and i am losing patience, I need help downgrading to snow leopard, i have the snow leopard CDS that came with my mac           
    ***detailed instructions help***
    my mac specs
    macbook pro 13" early 2011
    My time machine
    i have a backup with mountain lion, and i also have a backup from snow leopard,(my goal is to restore my latest backup from mountain lion to snow leopard)
    i have backed up my files using time machine AND justcloud
    My question is how, i do not want to lose any data, also is there any thing i need to be aware during this process

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. 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 Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Need help installing Adobe Pro 9 Product code [removed by moderator] to my new PC tower.

    Need help installing Adobe Pro 9 to my new PC.

    Hi albertc40027908,
    You might need to deactivate Acrobat 9 from your old machine.
    Then, install the software from a CD (if you have) and activate with the same serial number.
    If you don't have a CD, then you might install Acrobat 9 pro from the below mentioned link:
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
    Hope this helps.

  • Need Help Removing Background

    I need help removing a background from a picture.  My boss wants some t-shirts made but the only image I have is one with a tie-dye background and I need it to just be the black and white that is on the image.  I have been trying for 2 weeks to do this and I can get real close but it leaves the colors around the edges and I need this gone.  Any ideas?  Anyone that can help me out?  I have the original photo and the one with almost everything removed if someone can help me fine tune the rest that would be great.

    You've done all the hard work and are almost there!
    Starting with your b/w rendition, duplicate the background layer, and shut off the visibility of the background layer. Work on background copy layer
    Go to Enhance menu>convert to black and white>vivid landscape style
    Open a blank layer between the background and background copy layers and fill this layer with white
    Make the background copy layer active and use the eraser tool to clean up a few smudges on the background copy layer
    Open a blank layer at the top of the stack, and press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E to create a stamp visible layer
    With the rectangular marquee tool, make a rectangular block selection of "DRIVE-IN THEATRE" and place this on its own layer (CTRL+J). Make the blending mode multiply, then duplicate this layer 3-4 times.
    For the text on the bottom, suggest that you erase this and replace the information with the type tool.

  • TS1389 I need help removing UAC from itunes..

    I need help removing UAC from itunes so it will not allow me to open itunes. Everything I have read from other comments that you shouldn't turn off your user account control. I just to be able to open itunes. Can anyone help me with this problem?? Greg, ogrady612@yahoo,com

    I had this problem too but you do not need UAC to be turned on.
    Click on start and search for 'uac' in the search box at the bottom and click on 'Change User Account Control Settings' when it comes up. Move the slider to the bottom when the window appears and save the changes and your done!
    It's worked for me and my uac has been off for months without causing me any problems!

  • I need help removing a malicious program form my mac!

    Hello, I am 99% sure I accidentally acquired/downloaded a malicious program on my mac and I am new to macs and need help removing it!
    I have growl and the other day it notified me that screen sharing, file sharing and web sharing were all turned on at once. As soon as I saw this I quickly got off of the internet and found out how to disable them.
    Also, three programs kept requesting to access the internet and I denied them of course. Their names were: nmbd, netsessionmac1225fd0, and krb5kdc.
    Like I said I am new to macs and need some help fixing this problem. So, if anyone has any ideas that would help a lot.
    I already have screen sharing, file sharing, and web sharing turned off and now it requires a password to access (which i changed after i disabled them) but I want to ask some mac people if I need to do anything else, thanks!

    By the way, a big thank you to everyone who has helped so far..
    Here is the list of my running programs and keep in mind that I do have my firewall turned on as well as file sharing, screen sharing, and web sharing turned off so the suspect program may not be running?

    This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
    I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
    I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
    So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
    That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
    All the music is on an 2T external drive.

    TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
    Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
    I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

    I have FCE 3 and the latest updates. I was just wondering do I need to purchase quicktime pro or does FCE has the same options and settings in the software for quicktime?

    Use what you have got. The time to THINK about further purchases is when you find that your existing software can't do what you want.

    Quicktime Pro will do full screen streaming videos that are compatible with Quicktime installed Codecs. If the video of the Olympics on the website has a specific URL to go straight to the video, then yes, you can call upon it with Quicktime Pro's player and then watch it fullscreen.
    If the video of the Olympics was embedded such a way that you can't find the direct link to the video, then the limitation is how the webpage is designed. Thanks to Flip4Mac, there is now also a Windows Media codec you can install for Quicktime as well:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm
    Although some video software like Elgato's EyeTV don't work with it yet. If you are using Elgato's software, don't download it, and rather download Windows Media Player for Mac OS X:

    if the video is in Windows Media.

    You can enter a dummy address and password if you don't want Real's offers.
