Quicktime 7 won't install on Mac 10.6.4?!?

Hi there,
I'm trying to install QuickTime 7 (Pro) on my new MacBook Pro (10.6.4) and I'm having issues. I downloaded QuickTime 7 and tried to install it, but it would not allow because I had a previous version of QuickTime installed. I then uninstalled / deleted QuickTime X, and to my surprise, 7 would STILL not install.
How can I get QuickTime 7 installed when 10.6.4 won't allow it? I heard theres a way to trick it with Quicktime X, but now that its uninstalled...I cant seem to get it back or find a download for it...
Someone help! Please.

Is it not possible to use my Quicktime 7 Pro license with Quicktime 10, if so how, if not what's the point, or advantages of Quicktime 10, seems strange to have to have 2 versions, or am i missing something here. ??????
Mike

Win7 won't install in Mac mini SL w/no optical drive, crashes when accessing external HD

I've been trying to install win7 on my Mac Mini with 10.6.8 that doesn't have an optical drive. I've been able to do the bootcamp partition just fine but when it goes to restart into the windows partition with the win7 disk in the external HD, my screen goes grey, then a green with purple border and then black. I have to reboot and if I press the alt/opt key, I'm able to get into OSX again. The research I've done shows I need to create a .iso file which I did with disk utility. I created all types of .iso files, read only, compressed and dvd.cdr files. Nothing is working. Bootcamp is not recognizing any of the 5 thumb drives I've put the .iso files on as I read some drives aren't able to be recognized. The external HD works as I reinstalled SL just fine using it. My research also shows that win7 won't install from an external HD. So I'm at a a loss as to how to proceed from here. I went into my old windows machine to try to create a bootable thumb drive after I install win7 there but the Dell is so old, I don't have a DVD drive in it, only a CD drive. And if I buy a downloadable version of win7 I still need to get it to a DVD or a thumb drive to get it installed.
Does anyone have any ideas? I called Apple and their support ended at "well, we did our job by getting you to the BootCamp partition" which is a crock. It's their design to take out the optical drive and now it's everyone else's problem! Sorry, I know I've got attitude but I'm so frustrated!!
Thanks in advance! I'm posting this here and in bootcamp discussion.

Hatter helped me out without even knowing he helped me out. In cruising through the archives, he advised another problem seeker to unplug everything except 1 monitor, a mouse and a keyboard. Which I did and that solved my problems at last. I also burned my .iso file to a DVD with my MBP and it was able to be read by the external HD. So keep searching the forums peeps, your answer may be there after all!

Google tool bar won't install on Mac OS 10.4.11

Mac OS 10.4.11. Was using earlier Firefox then installed 3.6.8 and now many add-ons won't work but mostly I need Google tool bar which won't install. Also no autofill.

Jeff, there was nothing under logs/Adobe/installers. Instead, I had to scroll through "All reports" and find the log there. Under Adobe, I only found Reader updater and the CC Cleaner protocoll:

Canon MF4890 Drivers Won't Install On Mac Running Mavericks

I just purchased an MF4890. I use a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. The disk that came with the printer doesn't support Mavericks and when I download the drivers from the Canon website, they won't install. If I keep the driver image on my Mac desktop, the printer will print for a time -- but then it no longer sees the printer. This isn't normal. I should be able to eject the disk image (as in every other application), and the app/drivers should be installed on my mac. When I as much as created a folder on my desktop and moved the disk images into the folder (print/fax/scan), the mac no longer sees the printer (wireless).
Help! Does this printer support Mavericks?

Hi BonnieBoop.
The imageCLASS MF4890dw does support printing on the OS X Mavericks operating system. You should be able to open on the Mac_MF_Ver1010_00.dmg file and run the installer package. The icon looks like an open brown box. Next just follow the steps to install the driver.
If you are not able to see this information or if the setup does not allow you to save the information, we recommend that you contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) and a live technical support representative will be glad to assist you.
Have a good day.

Quicktime pro won't install

Upon downloading and installing, my 10.5.8 system restarts, then there is no evidence of Quicktime Pro on my machine.
Multiple tries, same result.
Downloading again doesn't help.
Why won't this puppy install?

There is no such thing as a QuickTime pro download.
QuickTime Player is already installed on your machine. You enable to Pro features by entering the registation info you got in the email confirmation.

Flashplayer won't install in Mac OS X

I noticed that a few flash things wouldn't play in Firefox so tried to update Flashplayer, which didn't work.
It downloads onto my computer and I enter my password to install it, but then nothing happens.
So, I decided to uninstall Flashplayer and try again, but now it still won't install and I have no Flashplayer, so nothing works.
Help.

Desktop Manager won't install on Mac

Would think I'm just missing something obvious but I give up.
I have administrative privileges.
Download the dmg package from BB's website without problem and opens fine. (yes, it's the Mac version, not the PC version)
Click on "Install BlackBerry Desktop software.app" and get the usual warning pop-up that it is "…an application downloaded form the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I click on "Open" and NOTHING happens (other than this pop-up window goes away).
I've closed all other programs when installing and made sure there isn't another pop-up window (hidden behind the active windows) waiting for my to respond.
I've checked the Applications folder for ANY new listings (even if it's not called something obvious like BlackBerrry Desktop Manager) and don't find anything installed/changed.
The Mac is using the Terminal program to open this Unix-exec file.
If I click on the "Uninstall BlackBerry Desktop software.app", it responds by saying it cannot find the program installed. (That tells me both that the installation package isn't entirely corrupt but that the program never actually installed)
Using Mac OS 10.6.7.
There is no antivirus/antimalware program running during installation.
Anybody have any idea what I'm missing for what should be a simple process?

After I have restart the next, the DM installer start to work. Maybe give it a try on restart computer?

Flash Player 10 won't install on Mac

I am running a Mac ibook g4 with Mac OS X V.10.4.11. I am trying to upgrade to flash player 10. In the process I uninstalled player 9 and downloaded player 10. I get the Adobe Flash Player.pkg and when I try to open it to run it it tries to open in word. I am sure it is not installed on my computer because I can no longer run any video on Youtube, I have retired to install player 9 and I run into the same problem. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Do I not want to run that file? How do I get my computer to replay videos without installing Firefox? Thank you.

Hi juano, I'm shaking my head here:-) Strange indeed. Were you able to locate the SWF for Flash Player and Shockwave Player?
They MUST be there and enabled, otherwise even tho this test indicates installed. My opinion is that the tests are looking at the Flash Player and Shockwave Player files. And evidently those files are installed. This has happened many many times with the PC's. I have had too many users report what you are and the tests show installed, but not working. If the
SWF's are not enabled, or the ActiveX Control that is used in IE, then FP will not work. As soon as they enable it, problem
solved. Now, granted that doesn't mean there may not be another problem even with the SWF & ActiveX Control enabled.
This is just something that must be confirmed before proceeding to find what other problem there may be.
This is a different test site from Adobe and it is the one the other Mac user tested on with FF and it told him he needed an
additional plug-in, which was the SWF and it was missing. It wouldn't hurt to try only using FF and it only tests for the Flash Player SWF plug-in, not the Shockwave Player.
http://adobe.com/software/flash/about
Now this test will only tell you that FP is installed and IF the SWF plug-in is missing. If you have the SWF installed, but not Enabled, it won't tell you that. That is why I wanted you to find those SWF plug-ins to make sure they were enabled. If I knew where they were located in Mac, I would tell you. I am guessing here, but I think they are in the Library where any other plug-ins are, as Quicktime, etc.
Thanks,

Quicktime update won't install

Safari was running my cpu at 100%. I re-installed the OS from the CD, then updated applications. Now iTunes won't open because it 'needs Quicktime 7.3.1 or later.' Quicktime won't open because it ask me to 'update to Quicktime 7. I've downloaded the update several times but it installs to 90% then freezes - "error in installation. Try again." So I'm snookered?

Updating
There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again.
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. Permissions repair can, and is probably best, done when booted from your internal drive.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install. This has the advantage of idling some activities that might prevent an installation from completing.

[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
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 also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because 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.

LR5 won't install on mac ox10.6.8

bought into the cloud for photographers. Photoshop cc loaded just fine and works great. Lightroom 5 will not install. tried safe mode, creating a root user. still not installing. Shouldn't be this difficult.

saw my answer on another question of the same problem. Lightroom 5 needs Mac OS 10.7. My current 10.6.8 won't do it.

Quicktime 7 Won't Install

A couple of weeks ago I uninstalled Quicktime from my laptop, by simply dragging it from my Applications folder to the Trash. I didn't delete any other files, and I left Appcleaner out of it b/c I knew I would be downloading it again. I went to Apple's quicktime site and downloaded the version linked to on the main page, went through the installation process without a hitch. Of course, the install includes a restart of the computer. Upon restarting the computer, I couldn't find Quicktime in my Applications folder, or anywhere else on the computer (I searched using Spotlight, so it may not have been as in-depth as it should be). Also, when I tried to open media that requires Quicktime or its WMV pluging, I received a message that Quicktime wasn't installed.
So I went through the whole process again, both installing from the .pkg I'd already downloaded and from a whole new download from the Quicktime site. I tried this multiple times with the same results. Eventually, I let AppCleaner go after anything I may have left over during the traditional uninstall. Still nothing. Finally, I'm here, posting for help on the Apple forums for the first time since I made the switch. I'm a total loss here. Please help.

Hello, Tatiana, and welcome to the Discussions.
I uninstalled Quicktime from my laptop, by simply dragging it from my Applications folder to the Trash.
I don't know why you did this, but actually all you uninstalled is the QuickTime Player application. Now, the installer sees the receipt that indicates that QT Player is installed and so doesn't reinstall it.
For reinstallation instructions, see:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=12759112
Regards.
P.S. I'd strongly suggest that you never use AppCleaner to try and remove anything that's bundled with or part of Mac OS X. You're quite likely to cause damage to the system.

Version Cue won't install G4 Mac

I just downloaded and installed CS3 (standard) last night and after two complete installs, Version Cue won't load. When I try to configure it via System Preferences, there PreferencePane isn't there. Does anyone know what is going on?? I just spent a lot of money on CS3 and I was expecting it to work out of the box. Please help if you can.
Another thing I've noticed is that there are no startup scripts in when you choose "Reveal in Finder" in Bridge Prefs. Is this normal?
Thx!
James

@ John
Sorry to hear that. Not sure what happens.
Are you sure that your machine is now completely cleaned before you did a new install?
There are some smaller things that are not cleaned by the CS3CleanTool.
This could be an issue with pre-release versions of Version Cue. The Version Cue client is a part needed by PS, AI, ID, IC and Bridge. (And though older, pre-release versions have been on your machine!)
I'm not quite sure what you mean with update?
As far as I know you have an upgrade CD set or DVD and you install the CS3 but you only need the old CS2 number to install, right!?
Do you have the CS2 still on your machine?
I spent a lot time to test the cleaning of my MAC system and install the shipped CS3 on a system where a lot pre-release versions have been before and it works.
But I learned to clean it by hand.
If you have the guts to install again, delete the following and then do a repair install of the Version Cue server with Premium CS3 installer:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS3/Client/...
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS3 Extensions/Adobe Version Cue Extension/...
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS3/Adobe Version Cue/...
/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/workflow..
This should help even if the AUm updates the VC to 3.0.1.
It does on my Macs. And - unfortunately - I had to install the whole suite three times this year because I changed my machines so often....
Good luck :D

HT3678 Quicktime Pro won't install

I did exactly everything on the page. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3678
I have Mountain Lion. Installed Quicktime 7. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US
Bought Pro. Put in registration code, Quicktime Logo Pro showed up in box.

BUT all Pro capabilities still ghosted out and no Pro functionality or Logo anywhere else but that one box. Any help?

Try quitting and relaunching the app. If that doesn't help, try rebooting your Mac.
