QT 7 update requires Pro + MPeg2 playback purchase?

Hello, I am caught in that awful update quandry - if I now update QT to version 7 and purchase the Pro key, do I also have to purchase AGAIN the MPeg2 playback tool? I have already purchased this TWICE already.
Even though Apple state that the MPeg2 playback tool will work with QT 6 or 7 it doesn't actually answer my question. I can't afford just now to update QT to vers. 7 Pro and find that MPegStreamclip and other MPeg2 dependant software no longer works.
The cost might look puney in America but in Australia we are not so rich and the dollars are double - so having to update Pro and the MPeg2 playback tool is actually quite expensive, particularly when you think how much it cost to buy Tiger and iLife 06 and it is these two actions that have put me in this postion - SPEND SPEND...Ugh, where's the money?

Moving from version 6 to QT 7 requires a new Pro purchase.
The MPEG-2 Playback Component will continue to work if its version number (Get Info) is 6.4. If for some reason you have version 6.3 the update is free.
Move the QuickTime Player Pro 6.5.2 app that you currently own from your Applications folder to your Desktop before you install version 7. This will allow you to run two versions of the Player app on top of the new version 7 frameworks. The older one will remain "Pro". No money spent.

I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required. help

I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required??? I checked when last auto update was done which was 01/07/12 I also tried downloading from web iTunes version 11.1.5 but it wont load because I don't have min version 10.6.8. What can I do to sort this out? Note: I am a not computer savy so be easy on me.

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher.

Get this error when trying to install Logic patch 9.1.4 to my machine.
An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher.

Thx, but i had already read that and tried it: did not work.
Got it fixed now by reinstalling Logic Studio 9 from DVD.
That indeed creates the Logic Pro folder in Applications - something I had tried earlier by simply moving my existing Logic folder. This means the Logic 9.1.5 update does not simply check a folder name: there must be another entry/registry entry it checks. Reinstalling Logic Studio from scratch solved it for me.
After reinstalling thought Lion forgot my Focusrite Saffire 40, so no DAW. Solved that by reading a forum entry on beta drivers.
So I am happy, music creation wise.
Left for me is to solve the X Mail application saying it does not run under Lion!

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.
I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it. What do I do now?

Niel: Thanks.
For others benefit, here is what happened.
I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder. It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works. Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update.
Solution: I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm.

QT7 and MPEG2 playback component - upgrade or purchase?

I upgraded to QT 7 but now I can't play back MPEG2. Is there an upgrade for the MPEG2 playback component or do I have to purchase a new copy?

If you moved up from version 6 then yes and you can get a free upgrade.
Log in at the Apple Store using the same account ID as your original purchase and click the downloadable software purchase link to see.

Free MPEG2 Playback Component download link for FCP users is broken?

Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro and Final Cut Studio Users
If you received your MPEG-2 Playback Component as part of Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro or Final Cut Studio, you can download the update with your Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro or Final Cut Studio serial number. Download Update.
I'm trying to download the update to MPEG2 Playback component via the URL that is listed at the address above ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/download )
The links seems to be broken. I have received my Playback Component as a part of Final Cut Pro. Any suggestions on how to obtain the update?
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Well if the link stay broken ...call them...Nothing
you can from here...sorry
Well, I actually e-mailed Apple Store support (since that's where I originally ordered the FCP crossgrade). They suggested that I post my question over here.
I don't feel comfortable about making a support call to USA from Finland... they might put me on hold for ages and it would end up costing a lot more than purchasing the component from Apple Store.
I think that the link has been broken for months already, although I'm not sure. Doesn't Apple have any kind of e-mail address to ask about this issue?

QuickTime Mpeg2 Playback is jerky

I purchased the MPEG2 playback plug-in.
However, the playback is jerky...seem to stop and go...
I played with the video playback preferences...
I do not have this problem with other file types or with the same files playing back on Microsoft Media Player

Hi pabo88,
I just ran into this in iMovie. Exporting a QT .mov resulted in jerky playback in QT. I exported a Full Quality .dv file from iMovie and it played fine in QT. Then I exported out of QT as a .mov. It only works if you have QT Pro, but it works!

How to update MacBook Pro system10.6.8 to 10.7.5

I Need to update MacBook Pro 1.1 Intel Core Duo, Memory 2 GB, speed 2 GHZ 667 MHZ Boot Ram Version. I would like to use Turbo Tax but it apparently does not support 10.6.8. And the printer also supports only from10.7.5 x-10.8x,10.9. I have copied all my Microsoft doc from Version 2004. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Sorry, but your model cannot run Lion or later. A Mac Pro 1,1 can run Lion. Maybe that's what you have confused with your MacBook Pro. Your's is an obsolete model with a Core Duo processor. Running any version of OS X requires a Core 2 Duo processor. See these following requirements.
Upgrading to Lion
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
      1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Mpeg2 playback component for OS 10.3.9. or converting mod files

Hi,
I want to convert mod video files so that I can work with them on the mac. Someone suggestes using mpeg streamclip (which I have, version 1.9.2) and mpeg2 playback component (I have version 6.0.2.)
Unfortunetly, when opening the mod file streamclip asks me to update my mpeg2 playback component. Here comes the problem:
The current Apple MPEG2 PlayBack component seems to be only available for OS Tiger (10.4.9. and higher). I am using OS 10.3.9. and QT Pro 7.1. and I would very much prefer to stay with this setting.
1) Does anyone know where I could get an older version of the mpeg2 playback component?
2) Or, is there an alternative way, instead of using the mpeg2 playback with quicktime to convert the videos into something iMovie (I have iM 4) or another programm can work with?
I found this website, would that be of any help? http://www.modconverterformac.net/
3) Which other program (thirdparty) besides iMovie could I use to cut and view the videos on the mac? I have Final Cut Pro, but it is too complicated for me.
Thank you very much,
Janik

Apple QT MPEG2 Playback Component conflict w/Mavericks

I am running OX 10.9.1, Mavericks. and wnat to transfer my VOB files from DVD into iMovie for editing. Per the instructions in this discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3951 ), I installed MPEG StreamClip. I also purchased the Apple QT MPEG2 PB component - oops! - BC the Apple store says I actually don't need it if I'm running Lion or later. Per the Streamclip site (squared5.com) ,even though Apple says the QT PB tool is not needed, Streamclip still needs it. Fine, whatever. With Streamclip installed, I attempted to install the QT MPEG2 PB tool, but I got this error code: "QuickTime MPEG2 can't be installed on this disk. This software is intended for an earlier version of Mac OSX." For fun, I tried transferring my VOB files from DVD into streamclip, but that yielded another error that teh tranfer would not be complete, adn owuld be missing elements. That's true - the files I transfered to streamclip are now audi only.
So it appears that I need the Apple QT MPEG2 PB tool, but it's not available for Mavericks. Or am I missing something else? If streamclip won't work on MAvericks , is there an alternative QT MPEG2 PB component? Or, can you please show me another way to get my VOB files from DVD into iMovie?
Thank you very much, and I appreciate your time.

I found this info frm samberl in australia (in this discussion thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/17333072#17333072), and it enabled me to install the QT MPEG2 playback component. Although all the instructions are directed toward Lion users, apparently it also applies to Mavericks.
"You need to delve deeper into MPEG Streamclip, Lion and Quicktime MPEG2 playback.
From the MPEG Streaclip website.
"The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7."

MPEG2 playback question...

Hi,
Switched over from PC to Mac recently, and playing around with iMovie 8... Planning to upgrade to FCE 4 now.
Question: I notice that I'm unable to play MPEG2 videos that I copied from my PC over to the Mac, although AVI files work ok. Read in a few places that the QT7 Pro s/w addresses this? Do I need to purchase QuickTime Pro in addition to FCE4 to be able to work with MPEG2 files? What other benefit does QT Pro provide that iMovie or FCE 4 don't already do?
Thanks!

You probably need the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. You can get it from the Apple online store ($19.99). You would not necessarily need QT Pro.
When you capture HDV or AVCHD video in Final Cut Express, it transcodes the video into Apple Intermediate Codec during/after capture. So, you're not actually editing MPEG2 when you edit HDV or AVCHD in Final Cut Express, you're editing Apple Intermediate Codec.
If you already have MPEG2 video files, you will need to convert them to DV or Apple Intermediate Codec before you import them into FCE. MPEG Streamclip is a great utility to do the conversion. MPEG Streamclip itself is free, but you will still need the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component to convert MPEG2 files.

I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

This is a tedious solution, which is stupid! And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization. I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

HT4623 when I try to update it says I have purchased items not backed up on itunes but I believe they're all there. any suggestions how to find these items or just upgrade anyways?

I have tried to update my ipad 2 several times. I have connected it to my computer in itunes had it download or backup my info. But when I go to update it states you have purchased items not backed up are you sure you want to update now? So I go back and check it for all my apps and they are all there on the computer in itunes. I still have the original iso 4.3.3 please help as all the apps are requiring newer iso versions.

Hi Oceanbreeze,
If you are receiving an alert about purchased items that have not been transferred from your iPad, you may want to try initiating the transfer from iTunes to see if that may correct it. You may find the following article helpful:
