Quicktime Pro disappears

I purchased Quicktime Pro online and used it ok for a few months. My computer Mac g4 powerbook has now reverted the quicktime back to the free version. What' happened? Can I get the pro version back?
Wrote to Apple who referred me here!
Appreciate any help.

Was the QuickTime Pro you used QuickTime 6? Is the QuickTime you're using now QuickTime 7? They have different Pro numbers, and you would have to buy the QT7 one in order to use QT7 Pro features.
You could get back to having QT6, except that I don't think that will work under 10.4. Perhaps that's the change you made, going from 10.3 to 10.4?
If it turns out that you did have a QT7 Pro number, just go back to the online Apple Store, and in your account area you can look in the software downloads section and you'll see your QT Pro numbers listed. That's a good way to be sure of which version you did buy.

    i misplace the registration code...is ther anyway to get it back?Log into your account under which you purchased the QTP registration and go to the download purchase area. Your registration number should be stored there.

  • I purchased Quicktime Pro, unable to register on my mac

    Quicktime icon does not appear in my system preferences. I've got Quick Time in my applications that I can not trash. Quick Time Player 7 in my Utilities folder. What am I missing

    I tried the tab key and the Buy Quicktime Pro disappeared. Quicktime Pro Registreation box is open with my registration info and no option to click on anything.
    Why do you want to "click on anything?" If the registration entries are accepted, simply close the window, open a file, and test the newly activated features. If you want more information, READ THIS ARTICLE paying particular attention to the "Additional Information" section which describes the registration procedure.
    Another question
    Why is it that the Quicktime icon does not show in my system preferences..
    This mode of registration access has been removed—probably to avoid user confusion on systems having both QT X and QT 7 installed since "Pro" registration is local to the QT 7 app only.

    Try, in preferences, resetting 64 bit to 32 bits.  Should work fine.  the older vidoes, etc will not work with 64 bit.  Had the same problem/scare.  Let us know if this helps and works!

  • Quicktime Pro problems, involving Error -43 and disappearing files

    I'm very confused, and I'm hoping someone can help me. Right now I'm in the process of trying to get my Quicktime Pro movies to my Ipod (in iTunes), but it hasn't been working for me. Hopefully I can get some insight here.
    What I do is, I download the MPEG4 video files and they open up in Quicktime Pro. I then click "Export" and choose Video to iPod. I then choose a destination, and re-name the file if I want (I usually rename it, and send it either to my desktop or My documents). After it's exported, it SHOULD appear in that place, and about 30% of the times it does, the other times it just disappears. However, after I'm done dragging it to iTunes, I then want to take it off my desktop, so I've been putting all of the video files into a folder I created in My documents. Now, they DO load onto my Ipod and iTunes, but when I want to play them in iTunes, it does the whole "Error 43- File could not be found" when I know for SURE it's still on my computer. And if I want to play that certain video file again on Quicktime, when I search for it the files arn't even there, yet when I go in manually I see them.
    Some theories I have: When I export the files from Quicktime to iPod, I usually rename the file. Does this affect anything?
    My iTunes IS NOT set to manually manage music and videos, maybe I should reset that?
    One thing I am curious about, is when I put the exported video files into a folder on my computer, the little icon that comes up for them is the Windows Media Player Icon. This may just be because I'm using a Windows PC, but who knows.
    I really hope someone has ideas on what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate some help. Or if someone would walk me step-by-step through the process of Quicktime ---> iPod, that would be wonderful also.

    The only time I have experienced error- 43 file could not be found was when having a drive named in a way that QT could not read from. For example (F:\F:\), drive named (F:\) QT could then play. Kirkster points out something interesting in this link on how the error 43 can also be generated:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1151490&tstart=15
    Changing the name of a file should not prevent QT from playing the file, it is unusual to have a WMP logo on the file, what is showing when right clicking and Properties?
    It is difficult to understand your post, your all over the place at once on the computer.

  • Quicktime Pro - Watermark disappears when I upload video

    I am using Quicktime Pro to edit videos. I added a watermark using a Word text watermark. I can add the watermark to the movie and save it. When I play it back in Quicktime the watermark is visible.
    When I upload the video the watermark disappears. I uploaded it to Youtube, Wordpress Videopress and a couple of Wordpress plugins that upload video and for each there is no watermark on the video.
    I am using Windows Vista.
    Is there any way to ensure that the watermark stays on when I upload the video?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Most of the places you upload videos "convert" your QuickTime format to Flash video. They "throw out" the extra track that holds your watermark.
    The only method I can suggest it to add your watermark and then "export" again. This will "burn in" the watermark image track into a single video track.

  • HT1338 RE: Quicktime PRO has disappeared!

    I just installed Snow Leopard and LOST my Quicktime Pro....I tried saving a clip using QTPro and nothing shows up but pre-FORCED settings. What gives?

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

  • Quicktime Pro Selection In-Out Sliders Disappeared

    After upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3, the selection sliders at the bottom of the player window went away. Application still shows Quicktime Pro version. Anyone?

    Missing the sliders is not acceptable, these are projects that I've been working with in the past. The apple suggests downloading an older version, but the download won't override the problem. This is complete ********!
    I have exactly the same problem(s) after the QT 7.2 to 7.3 upgrade. QT has lost the selection In-Out marker features, and the grey highlight between them. This is true for all QT files, including .mov files successfully created by past edits. All worked fine until the last uprade! It is as if my QT Pro registration (and purchase) has been deleted. My System Prefs QT Register panel still shows the correct QuickTime Pro registration code (key).

  • Export H264 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?

    Using QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows, I add a text track with closed captions to my H264 .mp4 videos. 
    The text track works great until I try to export it.  After I've added the text track, the text track is displayed as long as the track is selected to be active using the Movie Inspector track GUI.
    My movies are encoded as H264 for cross-platform compatibility, and need to remain in this format.  The only way to save them in QuickTimePro 7 for Windows is to Export Movie to MPEG-4.  I select Pass-Through mode to retain the resolution and bandwidth parameters that I initially encoded the video with.
    Unfortunately, after I export to MPEG-4, the caption track is lost.  It disappears.  When I open the newly exported MPEG-4 caption file, and select Movie Inspector, the caption track is missing.  Inspector only shows video and audio tracks.
    If QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows correctly exported my text track with the video and audio tracks, then users would be able to view the closed captions upon playback in QuickTime Player by selecting View--> Show Closed Captioning (Ctrl+Alt+T).
    Anyone been able to export to MPEG-4 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?
    Thank you!

  • HELP!!!  Quicktime Pro crashes when exporting

    I've had no problems until today. All of a sudden, when I export a movie from quicktime, it crashes when I click on "settings" of the codec. So I basically open the file, go to "File>Export" and click on "Options". I then click on "Settings" and boom...quicktime disappears with your usual windows error sound. Like I said, I've had no problems up till today so I don't know what I could of done to cause this. I'm running Quicktime Pro 7.2 on Windows XP Pro 64bit. I've tried uninstalling it and tried older versions...nothing seems to work. My Sorenson Squeeze software also will not load quicktimes which I believe is related to this problem. Any ideas?

    Sorry to hear you are having the same problem but I'm glad its just not me. I seriously don't know what I could have done to cause this. Some sort of bug or virus going around? I've heard of quicktime being hacked in the past by a worm which causes it to crash so I'm wondering if that's what's happening. It does suck you can't really call Apple about it.
    Its becoming increasingly difficult these days to talk to a human about technical issues. If you do get one on the phone, its some support person getting paid min. wage who just puts you on hold forever as they look up your problem in a generic list of "help" files. I don't want knowledge base support...I want one on one support with a trained programmer who knows how to fix your problems!

  • ITunes AAC import settings relative to QuickTime Pro settings

    QuickTime Pro has the following two additional AAC import settings that iTunes does not have:
    Quality: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
    Encoding Strategy: Average Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate Constrained, Constant Bit Rate
    iTunes does have a Use Variable Bit Rate check box, though.
    Which values for these settings does iTunes use? Is it different if you have purchased QuickTime Pro? Wlll the settings in QuickTime Pro affect iTunes?
    I tried converting the same WAV file in both iTunes & QuickTime Pro. I varied the settings in QuickTime Pro, and used VBR in iTunes. The closest files that I generated in QuickTime Pro used Normal Quality with either Average Bit Rate or Variable Bit Rate (though I didn't try every permutation of settings). Both files were different than the iTunes file, however.
    Thanks for any info in advance,
    Ross

    FWIW, you're not alone - I am hitting this bug too.
    version: iTunes 10.0.1 (22)
    OS: MacOS 10.6.4
    machine: iMac 27", Core i7, 8GB.
    I did find a workaround just now:
    In my experience, when you choose "Custom..." from the "Settings:" drop list, the custom settings window flickers (as in, appears/disappears) rapidly for a couple of seconds before iTunes finally crashes and you are prompted to send a support dump to Apple.
    I have found that after selecting "Custom..." and seeing the flickering custom settings window, if I very quickly hit and release Command-Tab to switch to another application (in this case Safari, with an open browser window - not sure if it makes a difference), instead of iTunes crashing, I will see iTunes bouncing away in the Dock as if it has something to say to me, and when I Command-Tab back to it, the custom settings window is sitting there, not flickering, and I have now successfully made changes to the AAC import settings in this way.
    The weird thing is, I found this out a few minutes back as I was composing iTunes feedback to Apple stating how to reproduce the bug in a Safari window, and so I was carefully noting what steps I needed to take to cause the bug... after seeing the flickering custom settings window, I Command-Tab'd away from iTunes to Safari, and in doing so stumbled upon this workaround.
    I hope this is of help to you,
    Jason

  • QuickTime7 (Pro) disappeared after updating to new Mac

    I used Apple's automatic transfer of software, settings and files when I updated to a new iMac (from a MacPro), and now QuickTime7 (Pro) has completely disappeared. It is nowhere to be found on the iMac. I am using FinalCutStudio, and the QTPro is a part of that. - What should I do to reinstall it? Any suggestions?

  • How do I register Quicktime Pro?

    Hello:
    How can I register my Quicktime Pro?

    Im actually running 10.8.4 and it is what is in my profile I just checked.
    Your profile actually isn't being posted, so no one here will have any idea what you're running unless you include that in your post. And the post to which you replied was made well over a year ago in response to Douglas, the person who created this thread. Just FYI.
    i was thinking that it would leave the screen of where i entered the # or say in the heading Quicktime pro instead of continuing to say Quicktime 7. Yes I bought Mac and yes I copied it from the email confirmation.
    Some more positive confirmation would be nice, but QuickTime doesn't give one. All that will happen is that the logo will change to the "Q" with the "pro" tag and the "pro" labels will disappear from the menu commands.
    Regards.

  • Can't register quicktime pro

    Hi folks,
    I'm been struggling for much too long now to try to resolve my problem, so I've come to the experts (yes...I have surfed and surfed this website and user documentation and more!  I'm hoping the resolution is not too obvious and I'm being dense).
    I have an iMac (older than dirt, but still functioning), with Mac OSX v. 10.6.8.
    I been using Quicktime Pro successfully for some time and have a key for it. When I was upgraded to QuickTime Player Version 10.0 (131), the ability to use the full version of Quicktime disappeared. (e.g., I have no place to insert my registration code). I've searched everyone (even my system folder) and it's not presenting me with an opportunity to register again.  Most annoying.
    What am I missing? Any suggestions?  I've added a screen shot so you can see my dilemma. 
    Any and all help is very much appreciated.

    There is no need to remove QuickTime X. Snow Leopard and Lion users can have two completely different versions of QuickTime.
    If you had QuickTime Player Pro prior to your Snow Leopard install then its only been moved to the Utilities folder.
    If you bought it after the Snow Leopard install then you would have to enter the registration info by opening QuickTime Player 7.6.6 and look under the Player menu for "Registration".

  • Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro

    Ok before I had installed Snow Leopard I had quicktime pro. Now that I installed the program I can no longer view trailers on the Apple Website or do anything I could do with pro. I can not even purchase pro for X apparently now. What Can be done about this? or when will pro be available. Apples website as well as all other websites do not appear to support Quicktime X at all at this time, so I would really like a solution ASAP.
    I use Quicktime Pro daily and now that I am without it again this is really not the time for me to be without it. This problem needs to be resolved immediately.
    Can anyone in Genius bar or other apple techs look into this?

    I just talked to techs at Apple and here is the skinny on Quicktime Pro: As far as the normal user is concerned, Quicktime Player 7 and Quicktime X have two things in common. They are both named Quicktime and they both play .mov files. Quicktime Player 7 can be upgraded to Pro and then can edit and export movies. Quicktime X, as of Sep 29, 2009 can not be upgraded to Pro. It can only Trim files and play them. It's just a player.
    If you have installed Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 has disappeared, you may find Quicktime 7 in the utilities folder OR on your Snow Leopard install disc. You might want to also install Rosetta from that disc so you can use older apps like Appleworks 6.
    If you are adventurous and would like to edit more file formats, you can get a free download called "Perian - the Swiss Army knife for Quicktime." Of course, you are on your own with this app. Use all precautions for unknown software. I downloaded Perian and can now play .flv files on Quicktime.
