Quick Time Player Installation

I have "QuickTime.msi" on my system causing the Quick
Time Player Installation to fail with an error message
that the system has a newer version installed. Any suggestions
of how to get it installed?

This may or may not be the right place to put this, but I can't seem to figure out how to post a new thread...
For those having trouble with upgrading itunes due to quicktime upgrade problems this is what worked for me:
Use this link to install the Windows install cleanup and remove EVERYTHING apple and quicktime related.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
Once this is download...run application from where ever you saved file...then open up and delete all apple and quicktime stuff, RESTART, then download itunes again from website.
For those with connection to itunes store...Connection refused
This worked for me:
1. start menu
2. run
3. msconfig
4. services tab
5. click on all apple and quicktime boxes
6. apply
7. restart computer
Hopefully someone else will find these helpful and pass them along to the appropriate places.

Quick Time Player 10 vs 7

I can play an MPEG movie on the Tiger iMac, Quick Time Player 7.6.4, but cannot play this on Snow Leopard, Quick Time 10.0.
The message says I need to download a different format, but does not say what. In reading about Quick Time, there is a download for Quick Time 7.
Is this the problem, or something else? Is it possible to have Quick Time 7 and 10 installed at the same time, or does one remove the other at installation?

If it's an MPEG-2, you need to install Apple's MPEG-2 playback component. Otherwise, click here for the software.

How do I uninstall Quick Time Player 10 from a Mac

I cannot find an article that explains how to uninstall Quick Time Player, version 10, from my Mac Snow Leopard. I need to install Quick Time 7 in order to install Quick Time Pro 7. Just moving the program to the Trash did not help.
Thanks.

I need to uninstall quicktime completely. It says that it is open when I try to trash/delete it. There is no other error message. I cannot delete it because it says that it is open. I cannot open it because it has become invisible and will not show up when I try to open it. When I click on the icon it flashes as it should as if it is opening but it does not open. It does not show up on my list of open apps. It may be (and probably is) corrupted but I cannot tell. Either way, I want to completely erase it and re install it. just tell me how.
QT is a structure embedded in the in your platform's operating system. To remove/replace it, you would have to delete/reinstall the entire operating system. On the other hand, the QT 10 Player is an application that provides a graphich interface with the QT structure embedded in your system. It can be removed/replace by simply deleting the QT Player app and reinstalling another copy. This is easily done on Snow Leopard system by simply extracting/installing another copy of the app from you included system discs but an be a real problem under Lion since most people do not keep a a local image of the recovery installation software on their local drive.

Quick time player ne marche pas

il m'est absolument impossible de faire marcher quick time player : je ne peux pas télécharger une vidéo sur you tube par exemple; on me répond que cela ne peut se faire

Chez VLC, il existe une version par plateforme: votre iMac est peut-être équipé de Snow Leopard, mais il faut aussi savoir s'il a un processeur 32-bit ou 64-bit. La seconde ne peut fonctionner sur un Mac à processeur 32-bit, et la première, si elle peut bien fonctionner sur un 64-bit, sera avant tout optimisée pour une architecture 32-bit, notamment en termes d'utilisation de la mémoire.
VLC pour Mac Intel 32-bit: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/files/2.0.1/macosx/vlc-2.0.1-intel32.dmg/dow nload?accel_key=60%3A1333968884%3Ahttp%253A//www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macos x.html%3A141f996d%24eda8b5bcd8e829cab2f33270c408d44fc4c6c361&click_id=6a885b9c-8 232-11e1-b2b6-00219b8a878f-1&source=accel

Il existe bien une version Universal Binary qui fait les deux, mais elle est plus "lourde" que chaque version spécifique, et ne s'installe pas toujours très bien.
A vous de choisir, en fonction de votre machine...

Quick time player doesnt start any more since kernel shock and update, the symbol looks different, reinstallation doesn´t work

hi there.
I am using a Macbook Pro with snow leopard and this is my problem:
I was having a Kernel Shock 2 weeks ago. After that, my Finder-Dashboard hasn´t work any more. I´ve did the latest update. Now Dashboard Works but Quick Time Player doesns´t do.
I Can´t find NOWHERE in the internet an installation file for Quick time player to reinstall. And I can´t find my Installation DVD.
quicktime has changed his symbol to an white picture with pensil and brush.
I have made a second Account and activeted the guest accounts and tryed there, but Quick time player isn´t here working to.
its really sad that this program doesn´t run any more.
It blinks 2 times in the dock and shut down immediately.
Can someone please help me? is my only opinion finding the Disc?

I've tested that on an iPad 1 and it seems problem is performance related. On this device a simple click to a google search result link doesn't work properly. You hit the target multiple times and sporadically it opens. You still see the focus on the object and it's activation but no event triggering happens.
All others functions are working well, only Webapps and Webpages suffer from this issue.
The owner of the device has not recognized that issue and believed it is a "feature" not a bug as he do not has much experience with Apple devices. But this confirms it is on every device and not my own personal one or dedicated to our office. The only workaround is to use other devices or touching links with different speed/pressure. It works better if you hit the objects very quick lifting the finger immediately.

Quick time Player has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hello,
I am getting this message and it is driving me bonkers!
"quick time Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".
Am running XP. Have uninstalled all Apple programs (QT, iTunes, update, bonjour, etc and in the order Apple recommends.) I re-installed QuickTime again.
Same Problem.
Went to the control panel and launched the quicktime control panel.
QuickTime Preferences comes up. If i choose the "files type" tab this error comes up in a window:
RUNDLL
An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
Clicking on this just closes the window.
Some one on another post mentioned something about another codex takinhg the place of an original. How do I find if this is causing it if only to shut down that avenue of conceren?
This has taken up SOOO much time I can't tell you and I can't use my iPhone or iTouch until I get it sorted.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Good work, craigeed. That's enough information (of precisely the right type) to suggest that you don't have a codec pack issue. If you had a codec pack problem, usually you'd get a rundll error if you just tried to open the control panel (and you're getting further in than that). Also, the rundll error for a codec pack problem would indicate that your QuickTime.cpl is lurking in the wrong place (down in the \system32\ directory). Your message is showing that your QuickTime.cpl is in precisely the correct location.
So we'd better start checking on some other possibilities.
The "QuickTime has encountered an error" message is pretty generic, but on at least some versions of QuickTime 7.x it has suggested malware problems. So we'd better try getting that off the table.
Download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and antispyware scans. If your security software providers offer them, try backing that up with an online virus scan. (That can sometimes pick up an infection even if the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
Do the scans show up any problems? If so, does fixing them help with the QuickTime error?

Not able to watch .mp4 videos in Quick Time Player

Hi,
I have a GOPro camera where the videos are currently stored on an external hard drive. I wanted to import those videos to iPhoto, which didn't work. Then I tried importing them without using iPhoto, but when trying to watch them I get a message saying that "Quick Time Player is not able to open the video.
I find this very strange, as I already have some GoPro videos in IPhoto, which I can view just fine (in iPhoto, and outside of iPhoto). The videos are shot using the same camera.
Also; Quick Time Player is supposed to support mp4. format; so I really don't see where I did go wrong?

What format is used on the external drive?
I suspect it's the reason the files can't be played.

How to open videos in Quick Time Player form my website

Hi guys and girls,
I hope everyone is good. I was surching this forums for a while trying to find the answer. I didn't find a complete so I thought I'd post a question and hope someone could give me a complete step-by-step guide.
Here is what I'm trying to do.
Here is my site (one of them)
http://web.mac.com/yuriyork/iWeb/720Neighbourhoodcircle/Welcome.html
if you go to video page you will see a QT movie loads and if you click play it starts to play. What I want is to make it play movie automatically once the page is open. I'd like to make this page the same way apple has done their video adds here http://www.apple.com/iphone/ads/ad2/ You have a button for small, medium large and HD formates and they all open in the same window. How did they do it?
Also, how can I make a movie open in new quick time player window outside of the safari browser.
Thank you in advance for all of your help with this.
Sincerely,
Yuri

do you know HTML? if you really do not know some important basics, then i suggest you forget this!
secondly, if you want to offer people a small, medium ,etc., version of your movie, that is gonna take up lots of space! you might just offer one version. 90% of the people watch only the large version.
if you do want to really really integrate this - then i guess you will have to use frames - or some kind of script (someone correct me if im wrong).

Accidentally took off quick time player and Itunes wont open now

so I have a pentium 3 windows 2000 IBM laptop
terrible i know
i was trying to get more memory onto my computer by deleting programs i didnt need and a supposed "computer wiz" told me that i didnt need quick time player to run Itunes.
so i took it off and now Itunes wont even open. a message pops up saying that i need to reinstall Itunes
because i have such an old computer (and buying a new one isnt an option right now) the newest version of quick time player isnt compatible with my computer
i tried downloading an older version of quicktime and that hasnt worked either
so my fear is that if i unistall and then reinstall Itunes that
a) i will lose all my music
and
b) there wont be a version of Itunes i can download since i have such an old computer
any ideas or suggests?

Uninstalling the iTunes program should not affect your music folder however to be sure nothing goes wrong you should backup you music before starting. You might also want to have a look at this page, it refers to XP but you should be able to adapt it to 2000: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components
You can get the highest version of iTunes that will work with Windows 2000 at this link: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

Hi Sansony,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you would like to record audio from the headphones you connected to your computer. When recording audio with QuickTime Player, you can choose to use the built-in microphone, an external microphone you’ve connected, or a microphone from a connected Apple display. Please use the following article as a reference.
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
Clicking the triangle icon gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, a microphone from a connected Apple display, or the option to simply use no microphone at all. The triangle also allows you to adjust the finished quality of your screen recording, select whether or not your mouse clicks are shown during the recording (the pointer is highlighted when you click), and to select what location (on your Mac) to save your screen recording when finished.
Have a great day,
Joe

mpeg video file won't open in quick time player on my macbook running snow leopard.

HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

Quick Time Player Confusion!

I am confused.
In SL, every time I right click a movie file, whatever the format, and select "open with" I get a drop down menu headed:
Quick Time Player Launcher (default).
What is this?
Below this are listed the other players I have installed (VLC, DivX, RealPlayer, iTunes) INCLUDING Quick Time Player 10.
Is Quick Time Player 10 different from Quick time Player Launcher? It has a different icon in the drop-down list, Quick Time Player 10 Launcher has the default icon. Quick Time Player 10 has an icon I chose for it to assist in my distinguishing between the two (or is it one?) application/s.
In my applications folder there is Quick Time Player 10, but no Quick Time Player Launcher.
And when I select Quick Time Player Launcher from said drop-down list..... Quick Time Player 10 launches!
But, and here's the really confusing part, ALL the movie players I have installed are listed in that drop-down list EXCEPT Quick Time Player 7.
Now, call me old-fashioned, but I prefer Quick Time Player 7.
However, if I want to open a movie using Quick Time Player 7 I have to go to the bottom of the drop-down list, select Other, and navigate through my Applications to reach it.
How do I add Quick Time Player 7 to my drop-down list?
Better still, how do I make Quick Time Player 7 my default movie player?
Cheers,
Martin

QT player launcher is an application helper sitting inside QT player 7 which launches QT player 10. you should not see it in the open with menu. it's a known bug that you do see it. but it should not affect the functionality. if it does then reset your launch services database. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.launchservices.plist and run the following terminal command
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
note that this will reset all default programs set to open various file types to the defaults so you might have to change some afterward.

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.
