OS 10.4.11 and Quicktime 7.6.9

Can I update my Quicktime 7.6.4. to 7.6.9 when I am on a macbook pro using OS 10.4.11 ? OR is quicktime 7.6.9 JUST for 10.5 & 10.6 OS ?

QuickTime 7.6.9 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or newer.

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

  • ITunes and Quicktime will not launch

    I cannot get my iTunes or Quicktime to launch. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, upgraded, and tried several fixes that I found on this discussion board. No Luck! I'm using XP Pro SP3. When I first installed iTunes, it worked, but then quit working about 4 weeks later. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and Quicktime.

    The error message you are getting suggests that you do have one of the problem codec packs installed on your system or you have had in the past.
    Quicktime does not install Quicktime.cpl in the system32 directory.
    It is possible that one of them was installed without you knowing with other software, I think Storm may get installed with other things although I can't name anything.
    You must look for the things on my list and uninstall them if you find them. Check in Add/Remove programs to see if there is an entry there.
    When you have uninstalled the problem items go on to the next stage. If you can't find anything you had better go on as well.
    Download the stand alone Quicktime (the one without iTunes):
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Now Remove Quicktime using the method in this article (just Quicktime):
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart you computer
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
    If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

  • ITunes and QuickTime will not work..Yeah, another one

    Despite my best efforts to try to solve my problem on my own and not both you kind people, I've been working on and off at trying to get my iTunes working, with no positive results at all. It's honestly been so long, I don't recall what might have sparked the issues, but every time I try to open iTunes or QuickTime they will begin to open but fail, bringing up the common windows error message:
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    So far, I have totally deleted both iTunes and QuickTime twice from my computer- first just through Add/Remove Programs pathways, then more in depth with Registry Crawler to try to remove any traces of the programs- all before re-installing the two programs. Both times have failed, still leaving me unable to open either program, so I've broken down and come here- hoping to find anyone willing to lend a hand to help fix this issue so that I can finally listen to my music the way I used to.

    Perfect information, thanks.
    That combination is almost always caused by some application stashing old QuickTime componentry down in your system files. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects, although some Games might do it too.)
    Let's go looking for the old stuff.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • ITunes and QuickTime will not open

    I upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1 and the installation went fine. However, when I try to open iTunes by double-clicking on the desktop icon, a page pops up for less than a second and then goes away. I think the page might have something to do with a license agreement. I get no error messages. I also tried to open QuickTime to see if it works, but it does not. When I try double-clicking on the desktop icon, a page (different than the one that pops up for iTunes) comes up for less than a second. No error messages for QuickTime come up either. What can I do to get my iTunes and QuickTime to work?

  • ITunes and Quicktime Error after automatice Apple update, need help!!!

    So I currently have a new labtop with windows vista. I have been runining iTunes for the pass 3 months already no problems. The Apple automatic update has never caused any problems till now. Quicktime needed to be updated today, and I accecpted the update, prior to that iTunes and Quicktime was working properly. Once the quicktime update was complete, it restarted my computer like usual. Then when I tried to open iTunes this error came up:
    "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
    Now I checked the audio configuration and nothing was changed or anything, that has not been touched at all, so I still think it had to do with the update. The next error was came up when I tried to open Quicktime and it read:
    "Runtime Error!
    Program C://ProgramFiles/QuickTime/QuickTimePlayer.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information"
    So as long as I have been using Quicktime and iTunes I have never encountered this, I tried to re-install but the error kept coming up after it was installed. Please help me out!

  • Error Messages for iTunes and Quicktime, what do I do?

    Hello, I'm in need of some help.
    Let me walk you all through what I did for the last 4 hours:
    (important note: I suck at far too much computer stuff, so I am fully aware that as you read the following, at certain points I probably made the problem much worse than it needed to be, I am not proud of this, but everything you read did happen, stupid as it probably was for me to pursue the problems in the particular way that I did. Hindsight is 20/20.)
    I updated my iTunes v7.7 to v8.0 today, and after trying it out for a while decided that I didn't like it and wanted to go back to what I was using before.
    So, because I didn't know what else to do, I tried to re-install the original iTunes software that came with my iPod (a 20gig classic I bought in 2004). That version of iTunes was v6.0 (again, 3 years ago).
    Part way through the installation process, I got a message that said that, because I had a newer version of iTunes on the computer already, it wouldn't install the version on the disk.
    So I uninstalled v8.0, restarted my computer, and installed the v6.0 from the CD-ROM I had.
    It was then that I found I had NONE of the 6000+ songs in my iTunes window. I checked my computers files to find that they were still in the library, but my iTunes screen was completely devoid of all my music.
    So I tried to get it all back on the player. I discovered that by right-clicking "Play" for the individual files from the folders in my iTunes that they would come up on the player, but that meant that I'd be clicking in 6000+ songs, one by one, till they were all back. I didn't want to do that.
    So I tried a system restore (again, read "important note" at top of post). After that happened and I was looking at my desktop again, tried opening iTunes, and it gave me a message that said:
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    And it asks if I wanna send an error report. I decline, then try opening Quicktime. Same message. So I try to uninstall both programs (i know, i know, "important note"), and iTunes uninstalls, Quicktime does not, because, as my computer puts it, "a fatal error occurs."
    But since I have iTunes uninstalled, I go to apples site and download iTunes v8.0 again. After waiting for all that to get done, I get the same error message.
    So I peruse this very discussion forum, and after looking for a good while at what is being recommended I go to a site and download v7.7 again.
    Again, I get the same error message.
    So here I am. I've tried working it out myself for the last 4 hours, and I seem to have made things worse.
    So please, please, PLEASE, I ask for any help you can provide.
    Can I get my iTunes back?
    Is my Quicktime corrupted now?
    Am I totally screwed?

    I had the same problem when I went to upgrade to 8 and then downgrade back to 7.7. To fix this is a little involved, but you can do it. Let me put it this way, I talked my mother through it on the phone, and she has a hard time finding the power button So no worries, I'll help you get back up and running. I am running Vista now, so I am going off of memory for Vista, so bear with me.
    I would do the following:
    1. Uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime by going to Control Panel-Add Remove Programs, and choosing first Quicktime then iTunes.
    2. Clean your registry. Easy now, it is not that hard. To do it, go to http://www.ccleaner.com/download and download CCleaner. It is free and has NO spyware. Install it and run the registry cleaner. It will remove any trace of both programs from the registry. Now you have 2 choices.
    3a. Now I would install iTunes 8. Because you already installed it once, it converted its database file that it uses to track the library and play lists up to the iTunes 8 standard.
    3b. If you have no problem loosing your playlists and library settings, you can go back to iTunes 7.7. To do this, first search for "itunes.ttl". To do this, go to Start-Search Files and Folders- and type in "iTunes.ttl" Once the search finishes, it will tell you where it is located. Navigate there using Windows Explorer or My Computer and delete it. Now you can install iTunes 7.7 with out any errors. You will not loose any files! just your playlists and it will not remember what is in your library.
    As far as adding your songs again, did you try to re-importing your music? If you go to the file menu-add folder to library. It will bring up a dialogue box that will allow you to browse to the folder with your music.
    Let me know if this works. I will help in anyway I can.
    Good Luck,
    linesma

  • When i try to update itunes and quicktime, it stops me and says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" please help.

    when i try to update itunes and quicktime, it stops me and says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" please help.

    Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
    After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

  • ITunes and QuickTime doesn't open up on Windows Vista

    HELP!

    excellent information, sparkly.
    Fault Module Name: StackHash_fd00
    Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
    ... and:
    To help protect your computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes
    ... and the QuickTime Player not launching either (it's a "QuickTime has stopped working" error?).
    With that combination, we need to check on some other application (apart from QuickTime itself) stashing old QuickTime componentry on the PC in an unorthodox location. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects with that, although some games might do the same.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    *If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
    *If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • On OXS 10.8.2, difference between Quicktime and Quicktime 7 Pro ?

    I just bought Quicktime 7 Pro however having a hardtime activating and getting it to work. Before buying it, I noticed the default install of OSX 10.8.2 had a Quicktime player. However, to get Quciktime 7 Pro, I read somewhere that I needed to install Quicktime 7, then plug in the registration code.
    So after purchasing, I downloaded Quicktime 7. I could see the Quicktime Pro items in its menu ( with "HD" prefixes). I then went into the registration window and plugged in my name and code  - exactly as shown on the store receipt - nothing happens. The Registration popup window shows a Quicktime Pro logo, but all the menu items for Quicktime Pro has disappeared. The menu items looks exatly like the old quicktime 7! with no new items.
    Did I miss something?
    What is the difference between the Quicktime Player installed by default with OSX 10.8.2 and Quicktime 7?

    The menu items looks exatly like the old quicktime 7! with no new items.
    No new menu options are added by keying QT 7 for "Pro" use. However, some options that were previously unaccessible (grayed out) will now be accessible. For instance, can you now open the "Properties" window (under the "Windows" menu) when a file is loaded in the QT 7 player app? If so, then the app is correctly keyed for "Pro" use.
    Did I miss something?
    Hard to say without actually seeing your system. Did you follow the instructions listed under the "Additional Information" heading on this web page?
    What is the difference between the Quicktime Player installed by default with OSX 10.8.2 and Quicktime 7?
    QT X is Apple's attemt to modernize QT by completely rewriting it to make better use of newer and more efficient video tecnologies—unfortunately, at the cost of compatibility with "legacy" video technologies and editing features developed over a two decade period of QT evolution. As such, QT X is still in its infancy and, on the one hand, still lacks many of the features and capabilities now taken for granted in QT 7 Pro (like layer compositing of content at the track level), and, on the other, adding new features (like the playback of "transport stream" files or native support for MPEG-2 GOP and AC3 content) which are not possible in QT 7.

  • Itunes and Quicktime won't open.

    I recently had a problem with Itunes, which deleted anything new I purchased or downloaded. I found out that if I rebuilt the library the problem could be solved, but I didn't want to risk losing any data so I didn't do it. I figured I'd wait for an update that would fix it and a couple days later I downloaded Itunes 7.3.1. The download did not go smoothly at all. During the course of it: it had to stop downloading and download both Itunes and Quicktime seperatly and it kept saying that my Quicktime was not up to date (something it's been saying for the last couple months). I've tried fixing that before, but when I do it prevents me from going into Itunes.
    Now after downloading 7.3.1 neither one of the programs will open. Itunes says, "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration." and Quicktime says, "Runtime Error! ... This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
    I'm starting to get really annoyed with Itunes, for the last couple months it's had nothing but problems. Can someone please help me.
      Windows XP  

    Hi Clyde33.
    Itunes says, "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration."
    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
    Quicktime says, "Runtime Error! ... This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."

  • Update OSX 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2 Quicktime will not work anymore

    After updating to osx 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2, Quicktime crashes everytimee it is opened. Safari crashes when any page containing a quicktime movie is open and system preferences crashes when trying to access the quicktime preferences.
    The only time Quicktime has worked is when I booted in Safeboot. I previously had quicktime pro and the crash logs seem to indicate a crash when trying to license quicktime. I have trashed all preferences related to quicktime, run disk utility and applejack. removed all 3rd party extensions and statup items, and tried to delete the registration number for quicktime but it kept resetting itself to automatic. No avail.
    Other programs I have installed on this computer are Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, and Kona2, and ajaIO.
    Any suggestions on getting quicktime to run again.

    hi chica chic--
    what kind of install did you do? did you archive, or erase and install? was the screen problem there the second time before you did the update?? i would run the apple hardware test to see what it says. you can do this by putting in your install dvd for tiger and starting up holding the d key. take the full test instead of quick test. i would also try resetting the pmu on your macbook pro. this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 describes the procedure and gives some info about it. best of luck.

  • PREVIEW and QUICKTIME slow to load in SNOW LEOPARD

    I've just started having a problem (after years of working perfectly) where files are taking FOREVER (up to 30 seconds anyway) to load in both PREVIEW and QUICKTIME.
    This occurs both when opening files fully with double-clicking - and when wanting to Preview by just pressing the space bar. I utilise the latter frequently to audition samples (as I work with music/Logic). This used to be an instantaneous process but can now take up to 30 seconds with the "Loading Preview" message before finally loading.
    It seems to be happening with all files, irrespective of size or type (ie mp3/WAV/AIFF/MOV etc)
    Very ocasionally - and apparently randomly - a file will load quickly.
    I've tried reparing Permissions, running Disk Warrior, reinstalling Preview, uninstalling Perian, opening another User account (in case there was a software conflict of some kind), and cloning my System onto a brand new HD with lots of free space. But none of these have made any difference.
    Anyone have any other ideas as to what this might be?
    Cheers in advance:)

    hey andy
    yeah there definitely appears to be some kind of issue (with core audio?) when i check out Console as this happens.
    i've looked at the subsequent diagnostic report but not sure how to interprete it.

  • IWeb and Quicktime Movie Upload 2013

    Three or so years ago, I made a website using iWeb (the last version Apple produced; i.e. the current version), and I included some videos. The videos were from a digital (tape) video camera, edited with iMovie HD, and were old-format 640x480. I managed to work out how to set the movies to start quickly (before fully loading) using iMovie and QuickTime. I dropped the movie into a regular iWeb page, resized it, put the settings up with the iWeb inspector, and all was well. The movies played (and still play) on Safari and Firefox, on my Macs and on an Asus Windows machine I have. (They won't play on my iPad - if anyone can tell me why, I'd be grateful; I'll probably put the original DV through a more recent version of iMovie and QT, and upload again.)
    I want to make another similar website. However, my camera is now a HD tape model, and I have made my peace with iMovie '11 and worked out how to use it. My machine is the latest Mac Mini, and so QT is the latest also. I run Mountain Lion.
    I made a movie with iMovie '11, and exported a quality version. I opened it in QT and chose 'Export for Web' and selected the option which gives me three different sizes. After some struggles, I worked out how to put this into my uploaded iWeb (test) site (although I have to say that the instructions Apple's QT gives are not the clearest), and it works, even on my iPad.
    My questions concern the code which QT says you should upload. The code in the <body>, I understand, and it's obviously necessary to play the movie.
    But about the <head> tag QT says:
    Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
    Here's the code QT says to paste into the <head>
    <script src="scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
    However, the movie playback still seems to work without uploading the code for the <head> of the page.  And there is NO <style> tag, and why only the FIRST <script> tag?
    The <head> on the page iWeb produces for my test page already has a lot of code:
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
        <meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 3.0.4" />

    Questions:
    1. Should I put the QT code in the <head> tag anyway, even though it seems to work without it?
    2. If I don't put it in, does that mean the choice between the three movies doesn't take place? I don't have a smartphone, but the playback on my 27" screen, my Asus netbook, and on my iPad all look fine without the head code.
    3. If I do put it in, where exactly do I put it, and do I need to replace any of the code that is already there?
    4. The original iWeb drag and drop method still seems to work fine with movies direct from iMovie (and plays even on my iPad), but obviously you can only put one version of the movie on a page. Is there still a good reason for using the multi-size version which involves manually uploading the movie and opening the page after uploading and inserting code for every movie? For example, I have a very fast internet connection. Maybe it's kind to those with a slower connection to put up the smaller movies also?
    And, since I'm here, I have a couple of slightly related questions:
    5. I designed my site (it's non-commercial, just a trip report, but with a lot of pages) to not need any scrolling even on quite a small desktop screen (you click on from page to page like a book, but you can also navigate around sections more easily this way; anyway that's how I like it). But on the iPad, held horizontally, the width is resized to take up the full width of the sceen, so you then need to scroll down. It's really annoying me. Is there some code I could put in to tell the iPad not to do this (there are plenty fewer vertical pixels on my website's pages than on the iPad screen)? (I don't care about phones, because the site is photo-based so looking at it on a phone is pointless in my opinion. And netbooks with only 768 vertical pixels are not particularly important to me either, but the iPad screen is plenty big enough for the site to work the way I want it to.)
    6. And I want to include slideshows of photos without using the iWeb/iPhoto system (which brings up an external window in a different colour). I want the user to be able to see the thumbnails, to start and stop an on-page slideshow, and for me to be able to put captions (descriptions) with the slides. There seem to be a lot of options, and I still haven't finished looking at all the ones I got from the web. But does anyone have a good recommendation - paid or free?
    Thanks for reading this long thread, and for any advice.

    The prefered method of playing movies on websites is to use an HTML5 player with flash fallback for older browsers. Using this method, you can get away with only one video file - an MP4.
    In this section of iWeb for Musicians you can see examples of several different types of flash fallback players...

    iWeb uses a fixed width page so it is not possible to use it to create a page that will respond to different browser widths. You need to create a version of your site to suit each type of device or use a responsive design like this...
