QuickTime plugin 5 or higher needed quicktime plugin 7.5.5 installed on IE7

Hey everyone!
I am trying to get quick to work properly with some book software. When I click video in a pdf it will successfully popup a window and play the video. However if I close the video and attempt to open the same video again I get the error "QuickTime plugin 5 or higher needed". I can click on a different video on the page and it plays successfully the first time the video is played. Only after clearing out the temporary internet files will cause the video to be able to play again. As a temporary fix I have set IE to clear cache on exit but I would like to resolve the issue than using a workaround.

Is there a way to export still images from Quicktime or do I need Quicktime Pro (and is Quicktime Pro even still a thing?)

I'm sure there used to be an option "export to still image" but not any more.
Do I need to switch to Quicktime Pro? I used to have it back in my P.C. days but I'm not sure if Quicktime Pro is even a thing any more.
I don't want to go down the "screen grab" option because my source footage is larger than the screen size and so I want to do my cropping after I've exported the stills, not before.

I played a little with live trace in CS5. Seems to do quite a good job if I had the right contrast between the blood (white stuff) and the myocardium (the dark circular wall surrounding the white round area). Picture one is the contrasted picture taken off a dicom medium (these media allow adjusting the contrast very well). Left ventricle is the smiley face on the right of image. The right ventricle is on the left, kind of D shaped. The second picture is the live trace image (with "make and expand" selection). I selected the image with the "direct selection tool (A)", then used the live trace with make and expand. The tracing can not be seen here, but it is very accurate.
The third image is the same MRI image as in picture one without contrast adjustment. Live trace did bad - fourth picture.

Can not view images of Patents (i.e., D/359,691) on USPTO.gov Patent search, it tells me I need a plugin (Quicktime 7.7.1.0) which I updated already.

In the "Quick Search" I give terms & it compiles a list. I then go through to each doc and look to view the doc and associated drawings. I'm not sure what else to say at this juncture.
Thanks.

Wonderful, not only did I get the issue resolved, but I got some good tools in the process.
Thank you so much for your insight and assistance.

I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home. It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me? It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

I am trying to listen to a webcast from a conference. I am told I need a plug in for Firefox. I can listen on Explorer nine without a problem. What plugin do I need for 3.6?

I just purchased a new HP computer with windows 7. I installed 3.6. which I use as a default and had no trouble until I tried to listen to a webcast from the BMO metals and mining conference. When I clicked on listen to webcast I got a message tha tadditional plug ins were needed to display all the media on the page. I checked my system and was able to hear the test message, but I could not hear the actual webcast.
There was a box in the message saying click here to fins needed plug ins. When I clicked on it I got a screen saying no plug ins found. I have windows media player installed. There was a space to click on to test sound system, and I heard to message on the test, but when I tried to hear the actual webcast I got the same plug in needed message.
I then tried to listen on Chrome and got the same result. I tried to listen on Explorer and was able to hear the webcast and got no message about plug ins needed.
Is this just a case where they won't accommodate firefox, or is there a plug in or add on that I can install so I can use firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem.
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
It is hard to tell which plugin is needed to play that webcast. You appear to have Flash and WMP and Silverlight. Other popular but less used plugins are RealPlayer and QuickTime.

Itunes 7 - win xp pro will not install "iTunes needs quicktime" error

iTunes 7 will not complete the install - it says the old version of iTunes could not be uninstalled and then says "iTunes needs quicktime". I tried installing quicktime alone and it also won't install saying it cannot remove the old version. Tried a manual uninstall and I get the same error.

A tip posted by b noir on the following link solved my problem. I just downloaded "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" from Microsoft, removed my existing version of Qiucktime. Restarted my computer then started fresh with Itune 7 installation. No more problems.
here's the link:

Itunes doesn't open now and apparently I need Quicktime 7.5.5 all of a sudden?

I recently had to replace my hard-drive as my previous one was howing signs of failing. I formatted the drive and installed all necessary software. As expected the messages 'Updates were found' so I did these updates as I've done many times before with no problems. Now I am unable to open Itunes because I apparently need Quicktime 7.5.5 for Itunes to run. A total shock to me as I'd have expected this update to update automatically as with Itunes etc.
What can I do or what do I need to do to over-come this problem. Is it a purchase I need or a simple fix?

what version of itunes are you running?

HT1338 I cannot open itunes. When I try, a popup says I need quicktime 7.5.5 but I cannot download it. Can someone help??

I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5.

I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5, but when I download the upgrade it won't install over my QuickTime Pro 7.2.1. How do I upgrade QT so it'll be compatible with my iTunes?

BDA and TMM,
Excellent thanks. I've got iTunes working now, after downloading the latest version of iTunes by clicking Software Update from the Apple menu. And I downloaded QuickTime 7.7 from the links you recommended, BDA. For some reason I'd been unable to locate the latest QT for Leopard no matter how hard I tried—it was probably staring me in the face all the while.
Much appreciated,
-Rob

What plugins do I need to view this page?

This page has an old pc game running in a browser window:-
http://www.cinemaware.com/browser/dotc/final.asp#
I don't seem to be able to view it in firefox 3.6 running on 64bit arch with flashplugin-10.0.45.2-1. It just says I need additional plugins, when I click Install Missing Plugins it says no suitable ones are available.
About:Plugins shows firefox to have:-
Silverlight Plug-In
The IcedTea NPR Web Browser Plugin (executes Java applets)
OpenOffice.org Plug-in
The gecko-mediaplayer plugins
and Shockwave Flash
File: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Do I need something else too? (other flashbased media seems to work OK, things like youtube and adobe flashplayers own pages etc)

shockwave flash is different from shockwave player, according to this page:

Itunes is saying i need quicktime that is already installed

Can someone help??? I am not very technical...safari went missing from my dock today and I did everything to get it back but couldn't...so I reinstalled the disks that came with the mac and got safari back but now my itunes wont open and it says I need quicktime that I know came installed and is showing in my dock.

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Have you tried removal of all related programs with installer cleanup of any that don't uninstall? I wonder if a problem with Apple Software update is at the root of this, but it is probably best to go straight to the full removal.
Here is a method for removal, cleanup and install.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

I try to open itunes and it tells me i need Quicktime 7.5.5 and i can't find it.

So I did a fresh install of OSX on my late 2007 macbook and after doing all the updates through software I get an error when I attempt to open iTunes. I get an error that says I need Quicktime 7.5.5 but I cannot find this update through the site and the computer will not find it when I have ti do an autocheck for software update.

I have OS X 10.5 (Leopard) which I just did a fresh factory reset on my 2007 Mac Mini. I did a Software Update check and it showed a Combined Update for 10.5 with an enormous download size of about 800 MB. It also showed a separate iTunes update of about 100 MB, so I just downloaded the iTunes one for now.
Unfortunately, I received the same message about needing Quicktime 7.5.5 with a URL link that did not provide any update, but rather just the Quicktime features.
Cutting a long story short, I found (and am installing) this link, which appears to address any issues specifically for OS X 10.5 (Leopard) users.
