Question Re. Quicktime 7.04 Software Update

Hi All,
I have a question in regards to the 7.04 software update. I am running QT Pro 7.02. I read the disclaimer:
QuickTime 7.0.4 is an important release that delivers numerous bug fixes, support for iLife '06, and H.264 performance improvements. This update is highly recommended for all QuickTime 7 users.
Important Notice to QuickTime Pro Users
Installation of QuickTime 7 will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 5 or QuickTime 6. If you proceed with this installation, you must purchase a new QuickTime 7 Pro key to regain QuickTime Pro functionality. After installation, visit www.apple.com/quicktime to purchase a QuickTime 7 Pro key.
My question is, do I have to purchase a new Quicktime Pro 7 key if I install the 7.04 update? It states that installation will disable QT 5 or 6 Pro functionality but does not specify what will happen if you already own QT Pro 7.
One other question off topic, when I launch QT lately to play a clip, the clip does not automatically play even though I have "automatically play movies when opened" check boxed in my QT preferences. Why might this be occuring? It was fine up until a few weeks ago.
thank you, J

Your QuickTime 7 Pro registration will continue to work until QT 8 is installed. Any updates don't remove a version 7 key. The warning is for older Pro users.
No answer to the "autoplay" problem. Maybe a corrupted .plist file.

  • Why two QuickTimes with Apple Software Update in Vista under Boot Camp?

    Running Apple software update in BootCamped Vista, I see selection for 1) QuickTime, 2) Safari, 3) iTunes & QuickTime.
    Items 1) and 3) are by default checked for download. Why would I want to download QuickTime twice??

    Hi!
    Funny you should mention that! Same thing happened to me yesterday, I was downloading Boot camp 2.1 and there were the other three downloads you mentioned. I downloaded them anyway. I now have Safari 3.2.1 (etc.) on my Windows partition. Why did I do that ? To be frank I do not know!! Now you have all three on the Windows partition.

  • Unable to uninstall QuickTime and Apple Software Update

    HELP US
    This is really screwed up. I got the notice to update to 10, ran the update, threw an error about looking for a file, quicktime.msi. Nowhere on my machine. I followed the troubleshooting tips. I am now unable to uninstall Quick Time, still looking for the quicktime.msi. Unable to uninstall the Apple Software Update, looks for applesoftware.msi. I spent 3 months moving my entire music directory to itunes, now I cannot update/add music to my wifes ipod, or my mother in laws ipod, both 8 gig and now I am not sure if I want to get the 32 gig ipod touch. When I try and download version 10, once again it looks for quicktime.msi, cannot find it, fails to install quicktime and of course itunes does noT install. Now what? anybody got a copy of the two .msi's?
    Is there anyone out there from apple to help us?

    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any *Apple Software Update* and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Setup Assistant loops after iTunes 7.5 & QuickTime 7.3 software update

    Hi,
    I have installed Leopard a few days ago and had no problem at all.
    But a few minutes ago, I just completed a software update (including iTunes 7.5 and Quicktime 7.3) on my Mac Book 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    Since the mandatory restart, Leopard loops through the following:
    1. Logging screen appears. (I enter my username / password)
    2. Leopard's installation setup assistant launches. No button from the menu bar works.
    3. When I finish the setup assistant, goes back to step 1.
    Any idea?!?

  • Problems with Macbook after Software Update

    I haven't updated my Macbook in a long time, so I decided it was time I probably did. Software Update had updates for iTunes, Quicktime, and a 2009-Security Update. Everything seemed to be going okay. After the downloading and installing finished, it said the Security Update couldn't be installed and moved it to the trash. Then it prompted me to restart my computer because the other two installed okay.
    After restart, when my computer started back up, my Macbook is messed up. The doc is missing. I open a finder window, and it shows the main folders, but all the things on the right (where it shows the drive, applications, and such) is missing. I tried to back up my files, but it can't even read there is a blank disc inserted (keeps asking me to insert a blank disc). And it wont let me shut down my computer, or restart it. I click restart, and it seems like it accepts it, but it just doesn't do anything. The dashboard wont show up when you hit F12. This mac is all messed up.
    I don't know what happened here, all I installed was iTunes and Quicktime from the Software Update (security update didn't install), and all this happened. Any idea what happened and how I can fix this?
    I'm using Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There's a variety of things you could try, but first as to why it is doing this. Probably your drive was slightly corrupted. If it was minor you might not have noticed it, but when the updates tried to install, the whole thing compounded and led to a whole bunch of things missing.
    First, try to repair your drive. Boot from the System installer disc that came with your computer or is the one for the version you currently have on there, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
    Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

    +Summary of above from BDaqua+ (couldn't have said it better):
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."
    Report back after you have done this. It may be that you have to use a more powerful utility such as Diskwarrior.
    Once the drive is repaired you can try re-applying the two updates, though often it takes a full archive and install, plus re-application of all updates, to get everything working again.

    Finally, on updating:
    Updating
    Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
    Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
    Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk.

    I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
    Repair permissions again afterward.
    It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
    The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
    Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned (e.g., [Permissons repair|http://www.macworld.com/article/52220-3/2006/08/repairpermissions.html] as to necessity. Probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

  • I have 15" 2010 MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. I need to activate Bootcamp and install Windows 7. I ran software update. Does this update update Bootcamp? Or do I need to comb thru the 4 pages of updates and somehow determine which ones I need?

    My goal is to activate Boot Camp and the install Windows 7 in 64 bit mode on my 15" MacBook Pro (mid 2010 model)
    I have several questions:
    1. I ran software update and am up to date. Does this mean that my yet to be activated Boot Camp ap is also up to date?
    There are 4 confusing pages of updates listed at Apples website for Boot Camp. I am having a hard time understanding what I need and don't need. For example, what version of Boot Camp do I have? I have Boot Camp Assistant version 3.0.4. Does this mean I have Boot Camp ver 3?
    2. The printed Boot Camp instructions do not explain the process of using downloaded Windows drivers; the instuctions only refer to drivers on the original disks. I have the original install disks from around mid 2010 but I am sure many things have been updated by now. Wouldn't the best idea be to download and install? But the instructions only cover using the original disks. How do I use downloaded drivers?

    You have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, so you are going to use Boot Camp 3 on Windows. After installing Windows 7 on your MacBook, insert the Snow Leopard DVD and install the Boot Camp drivers from here. Then, as the Boot Camp drivers that your Snow Leopard disc contain are outdated, open Apple Software Update on Windows to install the most recent Boot Camp drivers.

    On Snow Leopard, you can only download the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2010 MacBook Air. On Lion and Mountain Lion, you have to download the Boot Camp drivers for all the computers. If you try to download the Boot Camp drivers on Snow Leopard with your computer, you will get a message telling that there aren't any drivers to download for your MacBook Pro

  • Why no Software Update to 8.02? Also why register?

    2 questions for the price of one here:
    I operate Logic on two machines. On my older (PPC) G5, I got the usual message in Software Update announcing the arrival of 8.02 - woo hoo!
    Turning on my newer (Intel) G5 last night, I confidently expected the same...but nothing? I checked, and somehow I'm still running 8.00, mysterious in itself as I'm usually pretty hot on updating. So, question 1, why isn't Software Update picking this up (have I turned off the Logic tab by mistake? If so how do I turn it on again).
    Anyway, to fix this I went to download the .dmg file from Apple Support. Bizarrely before it would let me do this I had to (a) log on with my Apple ID (what happens if you don't have one?) and (b) register my software (grrr....which meant hours...well minutes...rifling through paperwork to find the reg number). I've never had to do this before for software - am I being picked on here? Have Apple got it in for me?
    Thanks all
    N

    Anyway, you may well have a point re moving the app...come to think of it I moved iTunes as well and that hasn't asked for an update either...thanks for the tip.
    Yes, if you move an application out of the 'Applications' folder, Software Update won't find it and therefore never update it. If you want to access the App from another place, leave it in the Applications folder, and create an alias that you can put in the folder of your choice.
    I can see your, erm, logic, but that doesn't account for why the other machine didn't require it?
    Software Update doesn't require you to put in registration and serial number info, because in order for it to offer you the update, it has to see the application on your system to begin with. If it sees it on your system, presumably you own it, and it allows it to be upgraded without putting in your info. If you go through Apple's website, they have no idea if you own the application, so they make you put in your registration. Your other system had the app in the right place, Software Update found it, and therefore no more info needs to be exchanged.
    If you don't have an Apple ID, you they will want you to create one. Then it's just a matter of logging in and putting in your serial number so they know you have Logic. You can find it by opening Logic and clicking on 'About Logic,' no need to go through paperwork.

  • Software Update keeps timing out on QuickTime 7.1.6

    Three different Macs (MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac PPC) all with the same problem.
    Software updater times out, downloading directly from apple.com has the same problem.
    Updater downloads other updates, can download Quicktime for Windows with no issues.

    Listen, I for one can assure you that I do not use 'HALF* programs' or equipment, it is a great insult you say this, to all who spend big bucks to use Apple Ipod's and pay your wages to work for Apple. I know that programers who write these updates are individuals who are very highly intelligent in their field. For them to take nanosecond and provide a little more time to keep all users safe, even the ones who may use your so called 'Half* programs" safe, they still pay good money to use iTunes, Apple products.
    Here is a suggestion, make the updates alittle smaller, AND a whole lot less attitude from customer service people we are only asking a question.
    Have a good day.

  • Software updating question......

    Hello, question about updating software for you folks. When there is new software available I usually install it promptly, but here is the question I have. The last few times it has checked for new software there is a digital camera update for compatibility. I have been unchecking it from the list so it does not install since I never plan on owning any of the cameras that are on the list.
    1. Is this a good idea or should I just install it?
    2. If not, is there any way to remove it from the list or will it keep popping up every time?
    Thanks guys,
    Steve

    You can tell Software Update to not bother you about a specific update.
    Just remember that you did this with certain updates, such as QuickTime updates you do not want. iTunes depends on QuickTime, which depends on OS version, and so on. You may end up needed the update in the future, but it won't appear in Software Update because you had ignored it a while ago and forgot, not remembering to reset the ignored updates.

Maybe you are looking for
