QuickTime Pro won't register

Back in 2005, I purchased QT Pro and saved the email that contained the registered name and serial number. Recently, I had to do an erase and reinstall, and then afterwards, I went ahead and put in the serial number under System Preferences to update QT 7.0 to the Pro version. The registered name and serial number are in System Preferences as I speak, copied directly from the email, so I know that they're in there correctly. Yet QT is still showing as QuickTime™ Version 7.0.0, Player Version 7.0 (7.0). Could anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks-

QuickTime 7 was introduced in April of 2005.
If you have a version 7 serial number and it shows in the QuickTime System Preference pane with your name and registration number then you have "Pro".
You can confirm this by opening the QuickTime Player app and looking at any menu. Choose File menu and you'll see some of the Pro options are enabled.
Use Software Update to come up to "speed" as QuickTime Player is now at version 7.4.1. Updates are free.

HT3820 QuickTime Pro Paid for, registered. Won't open.

I've paid for and downloaded Quicktime Pro. Entered the registration code...and nothing happens. I still just have Quicktime 7. How do I get Pro to start running?

Open QuickTime Player 7 (Utilities folder) and then open the About QuickTime Player 7 window.
Is the word Pro shown on the blue Q icon?

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.

Registration for Quicktime Pro won't open

New mac and installed QuickTime 7.6.6 (rather than 10) and Preferences or Registration simply won't open. Trying to register QuickTime Pro. Any suggestions?

Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
So much for productivity.

Quictime pro won't register on my computer

Has anyone who is having this problem found a solution? I've read some other threads where people
are having this difficulty and have not seen a solution. There does however always seem to be one
person who says, "works for me" and nothing more as if to imply that the resr of us are somehow
imcompetent or inept.
I am running Windows XP service pack 2 on a Dell PC.
I have followed the registration instructions using the Quictime control panel to the letter, I even
get the Quictime Pro prompt at the bottom of the registration box when I hit apply after entering
my name and registration code. I press ok and nothing changes. No Quicktime Pro functions are
enabled and when I return to the registration box none of the information I entered is there.
I have tried restarting the computer after registering, looking for updates for Quicktime, repairing
Quictime, unistalling and reinstalling Quicktime and each time I get the same result.
I have spent two lengthy phone conversations with Techincal Support and they have no one that
deals with this and no answers. They send me the same bulletins I have already read and followed.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?

Some of the ways around this on Vista and 7 aren't available on XP, unfortunately. But we'll try a variant of those procedures, just in case.
Quit the QuickTime Player first.
In My Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive you've got your program files installed on.
Open the "Program files" folder.
Open the "QuickTime" folder.
Right-click on the QuickTimePlayer.exe and select "Run as ...". Choose the administrator account.
If you can get the player to launch that way, go "Edit > Preferences > Register", enter your key, and click "Apply".
Does the Pro Key stick this time?

QuickTime Pro won't load to Snow Leopard

I own QuickTime Pro. By virtue of owning Final Cut Studio.
But it doesn't work right on my newly Snow Leopard-ized 8 core tower.
I download QT 7 from the QTP page, but it won't install because:
"QuickTime can't be installed on this disk. This version of
QuickTime 7 can't be installed on this disk because
QuickTime X is already present. Please use Software
Update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime
for your Mac."
%$#@!!
The "QuickTime Player 7" menu item isn't the same as on other Macs. It doesn't show a "QuickTime Preferences" item, only a "Preferences" item, so many things can't be done with it.
Registration shows three blank lines but "Apple Pro Apps User" in small type at the bottom.
Even though it announces itself as QuickTime Player 7, it does most things that QuickTime Pro has always done, but I can't even update it with a fresh install, it seems.
I don't care at all for QuickTime X, but it seems intent on blocking my way.
How to get around it?

That version fails to show the "QuickTime Preferences" item in the drop down menu that includes "Preferences," which was my reason behind trying to update it.
Yes, it was replaced by the single registration option which no longer accesses the system preferences window.
Its QTPro features seem to work, but I can't, for instance, select Kiosk mode through any of the current menu items... Am I stuck until Apple brings out a non-interim version? They've had a year...
Haven't tried using it lately, but the "Kiosk" option is still available as a QTL file option if you can use a QTL file for whatever you want to do.

QuickTime Pro won't recognise .qtch (cache) files

I've been viewing QuickTime clips on the Internet, and have set my preferences to both view the clips through my Safari browser, and to save them (when possible) to cache. It has been doing this.
The QuickTime cache is in my User Library, and all the files there (including several I viewed today) seem to be there, in the .qtch format. When attempting to open them from the QuickTime player, I received the message "The movie could not be opened. This is not a movie file."
I'm using a registered version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.4 (on my non-Intel Powerbook for System 10.4.11).
Anyone know the workaround or solution?

Years ago one could poke around in the browser cache and pull out files. Not anymore.
You can open the files via the QuickTime Player File menu / Open Recent (up to 50 items) and save them using the Pro upgrade.

Quicktime Pro won't activate

Let me start by saying that I've always found Apple products to be absolute garbage. However, I need QuickTime pro to save a video that someone made for me. After paying $30 for this program, and following their instructions to register the product, I still have a version of QuickTime that will not save video. I downloaded QuickTime 7 and followed all directions. It's apparently not possible to talk to one of their techs unless you buy their easily-broken hardware (cute, Apple), so I now have a $30 charge on my debit card and am no closer to keeping this video than I was an hour ago.
I'm getting ready to demand a refund and/or report this as credit card fraud. Seriously. What does one have to do to get an Apple product to work?

Quicktime Pro won't recognize my video camera.

The video camera is attached to the computer via Firewire. I checked and the computer recognizes that the camera is attached by Firewire.
I'm trying to transfer already-shot video from the video camera into Quictime Pro, but when I turn on the camera and play the video and click the NEW MOVIE RECORDING link in Quictime - I get a message "NO RECORDING DEVICE FOUND".
Does anyone know what I have to do to get Quicktime Pro to recognize the video camera?
Thanks

When I import the video into iMovie, iMovie squashes the widescreen video into a rectangle with the dimensions of a TV screen, and there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it back into a distortion-free widescreen image.
I would upgrade iMovie (from 3.03), but Apple doesn't seem to sell the upgrade anymore (not that will work in OS X 10.3.9.)
I have Quicktime Pro and iMovie and I can't get the video out of my camcorder and into my computer.

QuickTime Pro won't let me save a file from a website

I have QuickTime Pro 7.0 Normally I can right click a link in Mail and select, "Download linked file" and it will allow me to save an MP3. Not this time. Other times, once actually on a website, I can click on the button on the web based version of QuickTime and save a local copy. However, I can't do that on this website:
http://survive2thrive.gsradio.net:8080/120309.mp3
Does anyone know why?
Thanks!

Copy the URL.
In Safari open the download window (Cmd-Opt-L)
Paste.
OR
Paste the URL in the Addressfield
Option-Return and the file will download.

A/V tweaks made in quicktime pro won't appear when imported to imovie

I have a file I pulled from the internet, tweaked the sound and color in Quicktime Pro and saved the file (tried both .mov and mp4) but when I try to import file into imovie or export file from Quicktime to imovie the movie file does not have the adjustments I made in Quicktime.
The file will play the same way as the original I pulled from internet.
Notes:
Quicktime will open and play the new file with tweaks as saved.
I have burned the tweaked Quicktime file to a disk, given it to some to try in their computer and the file plays without the tweaks.
I would really appreciate any help you may have!
Thanks!

The A/V "tweaks" are local to the QT player -- not embedded in the movie file. If you plan to edit in iMovie, make your adjustments in iMovie. If simply converting the content from one compression format to another, use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) to make such adjustments.

Quicktime Pro won't play my .avi videos

I got a bunch of .avi videos, they are encoded using xvid codec. They play fine in media player but don't play at all in Quicktime. What codecs do I need for Quicktime Pro 7?

You need a codec that plays the compression a particular avi is encoded in. You can try these two sites for codecs that play most recent avi files
