QP Pro Keeps Asking To Purchase Quick Time Pro

I am running QT Pro on a Toshiba XP Vista Pro machine. The About button shows QT 7.6.2(515) and QT PRO. However, if I download a movie and try saving it, QT asks for me to buy QP PRO.

Where are you trying to download this file?
Can you post the URL?

Previously purchased quick time pro and lost it

I purchased Quick Time Pro for Windows 7 and then lost it when my computer crashed. I have recovered the product key from my Apple account but I can't figure out how to use the key to recover my product. It just keeps asking me to buy the program again.

Hi timonez99,
If you have your previous QT Pro key but are having issues downloading QuickTime and/or applying the key to unlock the Pro functionality, you may find the following pages helpful:

I purchased quick time pro, and attempted to download quick time 7, but it says I have quick time x installed. I deleted quick time x but it still says it is there and will not let me install.

In the optional install items-Quick Time is not an option. I am on Leopard.
Then you either:
1) never had QT X installed and could not have deleted it since QT X is only installed on Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6), Lion (OS X v10.7), and Mountain Lion (OS X v10.8) systems or...
2) you are actually running Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6) and not Leopard (OS X v10.5) as you just stated.
Please confirm which statment is actually correct.

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:

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.
If the video is in Realplayer, click on the Realplayer Free button on the upper right corner of:
http://www.real.com/player/?src=realaudio
You can enter a dummy address and password if you don't want Real's offers.
If it is still a question of not being able to determine the true link to the video, try using different Mac web browsers to see what result you get:

Purchasing Quick time Pro

I am interested in purchasing Quick Time Pro (although I am waiting until after the mac World Expo). My question is that if I'm running three computers on my network do I have to purchase it three times, or do I have to purchase it only once, and use the password on all three computers.
Thanks in advance.

You must purchase a separate key for each computer.

Itunes won't load after purchasing Quick time Pro

I purchased QuickTime Pro and now my itunes won't load. My version is 7.6.9. I keep getting message that reads I have an older version installed of Quick Time and that I need to uninstall itunes. I have tried this repeatedly but no luck. any suggestions?

I keep getting message that reads I have an older version installed of Quick Time and that I need to uninstall itunes.
That suggests that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
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.)

HT3820 Installing Quick Time Pro on two iMac computers

I just purchased Quick Time Pro. May I install it on both of my iMac computers?

Make sure you're entering in both the user name and key code exactly as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to error.
If you continue to have problems, or for future questions, I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.

How do I save movies puchased from Apple as .avi file from Quick Time Pro?

Help! I've purchased Quick Time Pro in hopes of converting my movies purchased from I Tunes to .avi files so they would be viewable through a media player. I exported the movie as discribed through Quick Time Pro and upon completion only get a white screen with no sound when the .avi file is opened. I'm concerned because this was an Apple file to start with and the necessary codecs (or whatever I need) should be included in the Quick Time Pro. What's the deal? Thanks.

The terminology is known as "Fair Use" and the U.S. Supreme Court had to get involved to sort the mess out.
When the first VHS and BetaMax "recorders" allow people to capture TV broadcasts and use them as they see fit (view at a different time than intended) these new "rules" were established.
Today no one thinks twice to use these "time shifting" devices (TiVo and others) to first "record" and then fast forward through content (skipping the people that really pay for the distribution by bypassing the commercials).
When you buy a DVD the "rules" say you get the right to view it on a DVD player or on your computer (also using DVD player software).
But, even though you "bought it", you never get the rights to change, edit, modify or convert it to fit your Fair Use rights.
The original poster wanted to convert some one else's file to another format. Apple doesn't own it (it only "sells" it). QuickTime Pro can't be used because it follows these "rules" regarding true ownership of the content (the copyright holders).
Since they have only purchased the right to "view" the file in the format is was sold (CD, DVD or iTunes purchase) they do not get the right to convert or edit the file.

How to down load quick time pro

I purchased quick time pro and have my authorization number
how do I down load it.
The registration on quick time rejects the number.
I can't find all item actions on my account history.
Thank you

Download the Quicktime 7 Player (NOTE: SEVEN, not X), and run that:

Then go to "Registration...", under the "Quicktime Player 7" menu.

Quick Time Pro - converting movie formats

I am having a frustrating time with Quick Time Pro ... its most likely me, but I do need help.
I just purchased Quick Time Pro for the purpose of taking some previous movies (in the AVI format) that I have burned to a DVD ... and ... convert them to the mov file extension so that I can put them into itune movie library and play them on my new Apple TV.
After a long time with technical support, I finally got Quick Time Pro installed, but now I can not open up the movie ... with Quick Time Pro.
I thought it would be as easy as 1) selecting the movie and 2) and then "Save as" to another format.
I am totally lost right now. I do need help.

I am totally lost right now. I do need help.
To begin with, AVI is a file format--not a compression format. It simply signifies that the audio and video compressed data is spatially interleaved for synchronization purposes and thus prevent one form of data from "overrunning" the other. It is an old file container for which its originator, Microsoft, officially dropped support more than a decade ago in favor of new, more modern file containers.
In order to convert the AVI file, you must first ensure that your system's QT component configuration supports the compression formats contained in the audio and/or video tracks. This may or may not be obvious. If the files open and play in the QT 7 Player, then they are likely edit/conversion compatible with QT 7 Pro. However, if the files simply load in the player but do not play or will not open in the player, then one or more tracks are not supported by your QT components.
Since the AVI is somewhat outmoded, the data contained may or may not be supported by your Leopard OS. Some older compression formats have never been transcoded for Mac us and those that have may never have been transcoded for OS X. The normal thing to do here would be to determine what specific codecs were used to crete the file and then install them if they are available. However, many inexperienced users simply install the Perian component package and hope for the best as this component package includes support for most AVI codecs that have survived the transition to OS X use.
I thought it would be as easy as 1) selecting the movie and 2) and then "Save as" to another format.
Again you are somewhat mistaken. While the "Save As..." QT 7 Pro option will place the audio and video data in an MOV container that will likley import and play in iTunes, it does not ensure the resulting file will be TV compatible since the TV device player only supports a limited number of audio and video compression formats. For instance, a DivX/MP3 AVI data can be moved to an MOV file container which will import and play in iTunes if support by either Perian or DivX codecs (but not normally both at the same time), it cannot be played on an TV device. In such cases, you will need to "convert" the source content to TV compatible compression formats. The most commonly used TV compression format here would be H.264/AAC (with or without chapter, alternate audio, and/or AC3 audio tracks). Once properly supported by the proper components, the DivX/MP3 AVI example above could be either opened directly in the QT 7 Pro player and converted to the TV preset or saved to an MOV file container which cold then be imported by iTunes and converted by iTunes for use on the TV device. (This latter option does not require QT 7 Pro be keyed.)
ADDED:
To clarify what QTKirk said, data burned to DVD for playback on commercial DVD players would normally be converted to "muxed" MPEG2/AC3 or MPEG2/PCM (VOB) content. However, AVI files can also be burned as "data" files in their original AVI file format. You need to look at the files contained on the DVD to know for sure and select the appropriate workflow as needed.

Quick Time Pro Registration

I upgraded to Quick Time 7...purchased Quick Time Pro....received email registration info...cannot fine Quick Time Control Panel in order to register QT Pro. When I open QT it only opens the QT Player...no control panel.

Thanks Kirk...for helping me out..

Quick Time Pro Installation

I purchased Quick Time Pro yesterday, received a registration code and "think" I entered it correctly, with my name, in the QT control panel. Where is it? I can't locate it in my list of installed programs (beginning at "Start" and clicking on the "Q" icon.

I can't believe how horrible an experience this has been. I have spent 2 hours on the phone - being transferred, hung up on, placed on hold. No one seems to have any answers anywhere for getting QuickTime Pro to install. I purchased this morning - entered my registration key and nothing! The icon in the control panel does not say that I updated to QuickTime 7 (even though I did last night -and the version states it is indeed QuickTime 7.4.1). I have done everything imaginable according to the website to fix this problem. I have restarted my computer 7 times. I am currently on hold again - (my case is being expedited)...8 minutes have now elapsed. I will not try again when I am disconnected - rerouted, etc. If Apple has an "you can't get there from here" policy for purchases, I can just imagine the nightmare in store when I try to get my money back...in short -- I just 'donated' $32 to Apple corp.

Quick time pro 7 doesn't show in applications folder?

I purchased quick time pro 7 and registered it as instructed and it shows that pro is there when checking registration but still only shows player 7.1 in applications folder.
does this indicate pro didn't install and I omly still have player?
Any help would be appreciated?

There is no "Pro" version indication on the app. Just the QuickTime System Preference Pane shows Pro.
The QuickTime 7.1 Player will now have the words "Pro" removed from some menu items. It is your editor and viewer for Pro.

Quick Time 7 and Quick Time Pro Functionality Issue

I purchased Quick Time Pro a few years ago when Quick Time was another version. Quick Time is needed for Premiere Elements. With the current Quick Time 7 comes an issue: my Quick Time Pro will not function in Quick Time 7 because the Quick Time Pro I only functions in earlier Quick Time versions. I either have to purchase a new Quick Time Pro product key to run in Quick Time 7 or run an earlier version of Quick Time to have my current Quick Time Pro function properly. Does anyone else have this issue?

I have not. Historically, the Pro unlock will work for all versions in a series, i.e. Pro version 6 will work in all versions in the 6 series. I got my Pro version 7 at about 7.2.x, and it has worked fine with all through version 7.5.5, where I am now. The current version is 7.6.6, and I have heard of no issues with a Pro version 7 unlock not working in any versions later than my 7.5.5.
Seems strange, but then maybe Apple has departed from history?
Good luck,
Hunt

How many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purchased it?

Last September I purched my update to Quick Time Pro. Now I bought a new Computer and re-formatted the old one, not being able to copy Quick Time Pro from the old to the new computer. Therefore I wanted to download again Quick Time Pro: In the settings window I introduced my program key and then "accepted". It said "Quick Time pro" below the registration line; however, the "apply" buttom was not operative. I checked and my Quick Time version was still "Quick Time 7", not Pro. My question is: how many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purched it? If I can download it more often than once, how do I proceed? Thank you for your help.

I started this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2454706&tstart=0
but I'm afraid it's so involved that thus far, nobody has "touched" it.
However, PART of my problem is similar to THIS person's.
My problem is that I have QT on two different drives in one computer; the one I paid for [QT Pro?] and one I got for free; QT7. I fear the free QT7 might have "interfered" with my "Pro".
So, taking your advice above, looking in the "Help" "About" menu, I find that BOTH of mine another "offer" above the word "About"; they suggest that I "Purchase QT Pro"...... so now, if BOTH of my QT's say THAT, then may I conclude that I do NOT have the Pro version? I'm meaning to say that if I already HAVE the Pro, they wouldn't suggest that I go and "Buy QT Pro".... right? Is this a safe conclusion? for ya'll that HAVE the Pro, and KNOW it, does it suggest to you that you could go and "purchase QT Pro"?
Thanks,
LarryR : )
