Quicktime Pro - Windows 8 - installs, but refuses to run!?

I've uninstalled and re-installed Quicktime (and iTunes) several times already. I've run CCleaner to clean up any remaining pieces and re-installed afterwords. Nothing is solving my problem.
Quicktime (Pro) installs fine on my system. However, when I run it, nothing happens. If I check the task manager, I see Quicktime.exe using 0% CPU.
If I double click on a .mov file, the same thing happens.
This is a system I use for my work and I deal with MOV files every day of the week, so this is a big problem.
Does anyone have an idea what could be done to fix it?
Thanks,
Paul

Disable any internet security temporarily and then give it a try, that could be stopping QT from opening? If not try opening QT by going to C:\Program Files\QuickTime and double click on QuickTimePlayer exe. I'm assuming you're trying to open from a desktop shortcut icon, that may be corrupted?

You need to install version 7 to add the registration info.

Windows Vista & ISight - QuickTime Pro/Windows Movie Maker issues

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and I really like, but I am having one small issue that is really confusing me. Basically, I installed Windows Vista using BootCamp and I also installed all BootCamp drivers successfully. This basically allows me to use ISight for some chat applications (e.g. Live Messenger). However, I can't access ISight through QuickTime Pro Windows Movie Maker. Are those not compatible?
If not, what other options do I have? Basically, I am looking for some software to record ISight video for my family. And, yes, I know there is good software on the OSX side which I am already using, but I also would like to have to option to use some video editing software I already own on Windows.
Thanks,
Jens

windtalker64, if it's a .mov you cannot take it into movie maker, it has to be converted to a .avi for movie maker to accept it. I used QT pro to convert a .mov to a .avi, took it into movie maker and it then became a .wmv, which is what I was trying to do. I'm going back 3 years ago when I did this so unless things have changed?

My adobe captivate6 installs but does not run on my windows7 dell inspiron

my adobe captivate6 installs but does not run on my windows7 dell inspiron with 4gb ram and 500gb hdsk, i downloaded the trial first 32bit and it installed fine and didnt run. so i thought that a full version with a 64bit installation will do the trick, but after that the captivate 6 did not still work on my system. i also tried it on an acer with duo core and the captivate software installed and did not still work. it only shows the captivate flash screen.
a friend installed his on an acer laptop 64bit, i3processor, and it works fine. please i will be glad if i can be helped on how to correct this
thanks

Have you tried right clicking on the Cp icon and selecting Run as Administrator? This is something you MUST do in Win7 but was not necessary on Xp.

I purchased a quicktime pro license for PC, but I can't find where to register in Quicktime 7...there's no registration option in the file menu

I purchased a quicktime pro for windows, but I can't find a registration option in the quicktime player 7 file menu. How do I register?

Thanks Kirk...found it buried in Edit, Preferences.

Quicktime Pro Windows 7 not saving

I have a valid registration code, and name, that I am entering exactly as it was purchased. The code, when entered, validates, and changes from "Buy QuickTime Pro" to "QuickTime Pro 7". That said, none of the Pro features are available. When I go back to the registration preference, the information is empty and I need to re-enter it. The information isn't being saved, though it is valid.
I am running QuickTime 7.7.5, and Windows 7 (because my government job is anti-Apple hardware...) Is there a place where it is failing to connect to a server, or is there a registry where this information is supposed to be getting saved, but isn't. I've been on phone support for 2 hours with 4 different people, none fo them could assist me.

Unsure about why it's not remembering Time and Date but as for ethernet, in your setup WiFi seems to be your default. Change the default to ethernet. But that doesn't work so try disabling the Wifi card in Device Manager. Obviously, ethernet IS working so I don't know why your changes are not recorded.
Which Boot Camp drivers did you install? Maybe you could look at updating these if they are not the latest, 3.0.1 from the Snow Leopard DVD.
I suppose I should say here that I have neither of these problems with Win7. Unfortunately, I don't have my W7 machine here to check my details.

Quicktime Pro Windows - Invalid Registration

Hi, I couldn't find anything about this, so I'm trying here. Mods, please move in the right area.
I bought a QuickTime Pro key for Windows back in 2004. It's no longer appearing in my order history and apparently Apple got rid of the purchased software page that had the key.
I do have my old email for it but when I enter that information it says "invalid registration key"
Anyone have any ideas what to do? I can't seem to contact Apple support about it either. There's never an option for this...
Thanks!

Make sure you're entering in _both_ the user name and key code _exactly_ as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to fail.
Also make sure you did indeed purchase a key for Windows. QuickTime keys are not cross-platform.
Hope this helps.

Quicktime Pro Windows - Why are Trimmed Movies Being Saved at Player Size?

When I trim a video clip (ProRes 422 HQ) in Quicktime Pro 7 Windows, and re-save it as a self contained movie, it seems to save the trimmed clip at the current image size of the player window.
Based on the size of the new file, it seems like the full-size data is there, but the file's properties are somehow being tagged to play back at a reduced image size. (This is confusing some of the NLEs I'm trying out.)
Can this property be undone? So the clip is always trimmed and saved to play back at the original image size? Thanks.

If it matters, I have a Canon camcorder and imported the clips using a firewire cable. The external drive is connected via a second firewire cord to the other firewire port.

.mov files work on my Quicktime Pro 7.1.5 but not on others

I have .mov videos on my website that are working fine when I look at them in Firefox or IE but only show an audio track for others on older Macs and Windows machines with no video. I am using Quicktime Pro 7.1.5 for Windows, and some of those movies were created using this version but others are older and were working fine before. Any ideas?

Works just fine for me (Tiger and Safari).
PC viewers would only need QuickTime 6 (or higher) to view.
Your file uses MPEG-4 Video codec and AAC audio. The hint tracks are not needed as any .Mac page merely downloads.
http://homepage.mac.com/sammscript/.Movies/Miami%20Impeachment%20Protest%201.mov
Copy (do not click) the URL above and use QuickTime Player's Open URL menu to paste.
BTW, MPEG Streamclip (free) could crop out the black and some html "tricks" could display the same file at twice the dimensions. That would require "custom" page code not offered by .Mac but very easy to do.

ITunes installs but does not run on Windows 7 64-bit

I've spent a couple hours going over advice on this forum as well as elsewhere on the Internet to resolve this. iTunes installs without a problem but when we run it, nothing appears. iTunes.exe *32 and iTunesHelper.exe *32 appear in the Windows Task Manager but there is no other evidence that iTunes is running.
I've tried installing and reinstalling. I've tried a number of different compatibility settings. Surely there must be an easy way to resolve this.
Frustrated,
Andy

The problem, as it turns out, is Bonjour. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2408851&tstart=0 for ideas on how to fix....

Quicktime Pro Windows export problem

Whenever I try to export a video in Quicktime Pro, I always get "Error -43: A file could not be found."
What is wrong with this thing? I've tried everything I can think of. How do I solve this?
Message was edited by: Richtus

Let's start with some basics:
What version of QuickTime?
What is the format of the original file?
Does that file play, in it's entirety, in QuickTime?
To what format are you attempting to export the video?

After buying Quicktime Pro, I can't get it to run

I just bought Quicktime Pro, and I can't get it to open. Even after restarting my computer, the Quicktime Player opens fine, but not Pro. (I put my key # in the Quicktime control panel, and it registered "Quicktime Pro"... just like the instructions.
Dell Dimension 4550 Windows XP

Just to make sure you're clear, QuickTime Pro is not a separate application, so nothing different will launch. A Pro key just unlocks the extra features of QuickTime Player and the QuickTime browser plugin. If the Pro labels have gone from the menu items in QT Player, then your key is correctly registered and you should be good to go.

FLASH PLAYER INSTALLS BUT WILL NOT RUN

I have installed Flash Player multiple times. The installation indicates it was successful, the Control Panel and list of programs installed indicate that the program is present but when I run a web site that requires it, I get a message that I need to install it. The Adobe Flash Player Help does not indicate that it is installed.
Running Windows 7 Home Premium , 32 bit; service pack 1; IE 9.0.8112 The computer is a Dell Laptop with Intel (R) core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.0 GHz 2.00 GHz with 3.00GB RAM. Tech specs say 2.33 GHz is required. Is this the problem? Are there earlier versions of Flash Point that will work?

I went to the discussion you referenced and did the following ;
Under Internet Options, I disabled Protective Mode and restarted the computer. Flash Player did not work. I then removed Flash Player using Windows uninstall via the Control Panel. I reloaded Flash Player with Protective mode still off. After Flash Player successfully loaded, I turned Protective mode back on ( I didn’t want to run in unprotected mode) I restarted the computer and Flash Player worked and has been ever since. Thank you.

Windows Modules Installer - Autostart Service Not Running

I'm receiving in my health reports for four separate WSE 2012R2 deployments the below error. I've set the service to restart upon failure, but it seems this occurs upon every server reboot until I manually go in and start the service. However,
from my understanding this service only runs when it is needed, which would leave me to a false negative in the BPA scan.
Just curious if anyone else is getting this.
Autostart Services Not Running:
Windows Modules Installer

Hi MattSla,
On current situation, please type services.msc in RUN to open Services panel. Then navigate to Windows Modules
Installer service and open Properties. In General tab, please check Startup type of this service. Did set as Manual? Meanwhile, in Log On tab, please check which account this service used to log on as? Did log on as Local System account?
I check the Windows Modules Installer service in two Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials in my Lab environment.
It seems that this service was set as Manual. Then Generate a Health Report in Dashboard, and didn’t find any error which was related to ‘Autostart Service Not Running’.
If this issue still exists, please open Event Viewer and check if find some relevant events. Those may help
us to go further analyze.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Software installs but will not run

The software installs but when you try to open it the window flashes on the screen for a split second and then goes away. Has anyone seen this problem before? Please help!

My anti virus was already disabled. I uninstalled Quick Time and made sure there was nothing else running like a fire wall or anything. I tried to install it again and it would install the ipod but not the itunes.
I installed everything on a second computer and it went off without a hitch.
Any ideas??
