Quicktime VR and Vista 64

Does anyone know if Apple plans to make a version of QuickTime that is compatible with 64-bit windows? I have several customers of VR demos that have switched to Vista 64 who can no longer use Quicktime for VR.
Thanks for your help!

I just found out that Vista 64 doesn't support Quicktime VR. It will let me install Quicktime 7.2. It will let me play some regular movies. When I try to open a QTVR movie in the stand alone player, it just comes up with a blank video screen. When I try to open a QTVR movie on a web page, the Quicktime time logo flashes briefly and then disappears. If you try to load a large .mov file into a web page, the Quicktime logo flashes and disappears immediately, but you can see that the .mov file continues to download. It seems like the plug in just crashes at the start of the download but there are no error messages.
I tested on a Vista 32-bit computer and it works fine.
I was planning on launching a web site with thousands of Quicktime VR files, but if compatibility is going to be a problem, I need to find another format. What is the best alternative? It seems like the Flash plugin works fine on Vista 64 and it installs much faster than Quicktime, but I don't know how good it is with VR scenes.
Thanks,
Fred

  • Problem with Quicktime 7 and Vista Business

    I am trying to run Windows vista business with Quicktime 7 Latest and can not run. I get this dialog box
    saying
    Quicktime player requires windows 200 or later
    please make sure compatibility mode is disable in the compativility tab of the properties for QuickTimePlayer.exe
    I did try to change compatibility to set as Windows XP SP 2
    but that did not make a diference I am still in trouble.
    I did unistall the program and installed again but still the same problem. Please I need help! Thanks!

    Thanks for the answer. It seems I left some other check boxes from the compativility menu on. So I realize I was running iTunes without problems so I uninstall Itunes and quicktime and did a full install of both and then it worked.
    My problem was that I try to upgrade quicktime to quicktime pro and when I click on the quicktime player icon nothing will come up but if I drop a file on the icon it actually opens the file. Anyway the problem is solve. but is not intuitive to me that when you double click on the quicktime player icon nothing will happen.

  • Firefox, Quicktime, Flash, and Vista don't play well

    I have a problem with Quicktime. When I install quicktime on my Vista machine, it takes over the Flash Plugin in Firefox, my most used web browser. Firefox has no options to tell it "Don't use Quicktime, use Flash!". When I was directed to the MIME settings, I found that they do not exist in Vista. When I click the MIME settings button, it sends me to a Windows-Run default setting panel when I set the file types associated with Quicktime. It turns out that click the File Types button and the MIME settings brings me to the same place. The only solution I have for this thus far is to uninstall quicktime, but that leaves iTunes unable to run. If anyone has a way to fix this, please tell me. It has been grating on my nerves; I've found Apple not to helpful in the "support" department.
    Thanks.

    I'm running into the same issue.
    I've gone into Default Settings on Vista and associated all quicktime file types to my preferred WMP and made WMP the default for every applicable application. However this doesn't keep quicktime from opening movie/streaming video files when I use the Firefox browser.
    So in the end...you can steer every file association preference away from quicktime that you want, (I did) but it still opens movies/streaming video in Firefox.

  • Quicktime 7.2 and Vista with RAID Arrays

    Has anybody been brave enough to install Quicktime 7.2 on their Vista computer which also has a RAID 0 or 1 array? Previous versions of Quicktime have crashed the RAID array necessitating a new computer the first time and a rebuild of the backup RAID driver the second time.
    I want to have iTunes and Quicktime on my Vista machine because I have an iPhone and it only syncs with iTunes but I am afraid to try it again. I updated my BIOS and the Intel RAID drivers with a Dell technician a few days ago so I have their "current" drivers but still am not sure this will "fix" the Quicktime crashing Vista RAID array issue.
    Any brave souls out there that have tried the latest version with Vista and a RAID array?
    PS - I run the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1) and Quicktime (7.2) on my Sony VAIO laptop with Windows XP and it works and I can sync the iPhone there for now.
    Dell XPS 410   Windows Vista   RAID 1 Array

    That sounds good. Those are what i was hopeful about in your case. I haven't seen a report yet of the Intel Matrix issues being fixed by the Dell-tweaked versions of the Matrix updates. However, there have been successes reported with the direct-from-Intel versions of those updates. For example:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4677972#4677972
    (I'm thinking however, that if the PC manufacturer offers its own versions of the updates on its downloads pages for a model, those are the drivers that folks should go for with their models.)
    Prior to those updates to the Intel Matrix coming out, the state of the art treatment (using the older models of the Matrix drivers/application) is discussed in this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4453007#4453007
    But i'd be inclined to go the way you've been going with the Dell technician first.

  • Quicktime Pro and WIndows Vista

    Hi.
    I just bought Quicktime Pro, and was looking for ways to upgrade my quicktime. I tried to follow the online instructions.
    Except that the Online instructions don't work for Windows Vista, because the instructions are set for XP. I know this because there is no Quicktime Control Panel in my computer's Control Panel. Unless I'm doing something wrong, which I might be.
    However, the issue is driving me up the wall and I'd really appreciate some help in getting to actually input the registration code SOMEWHERE.
    Thank you.

    QuickTime 7 Pro is activated by downloading the QuickTime 7 software from the Apple website. What you actually paid for is the registration to unlock the Pro features within QuickTime. What you should do is:
    1) download the latest version of QuickTime 7 and install in on your machine.
    2) there should be an icon in the Control Panel for both Vista + XP called "QuickTime" (if u don't see it, switch the Control Panel to Classic View located on the left hand tasks
    - OR -
    Open QuickTime 7 directly and click *Edit > Preferences > Register*
    3) enter your necessary registration info then click OK/Apply
    When it has updated, you can choose to update the software from *Help > Update Existing Software*

  • Itunes 7.1.1 and Vista home

    Itunes runs fine. and the ipod runs fine aslong as they are not connected to the computer togeather, when i plug my ipod up to my computer my CPU Process Max out at 100%, when i un-plug my ipod and turn off the service then it goes back to normal, when running itunes.

    I deinstalled all codecs (including Nero), because windows vista solutions also pointed me in that direction, but no luck yet..
    okay. we'd better try swapping out your QuickTime now that the codecs are out of the way.
    sometimes with that sort of "error message free" launch failure with QuickTime, Add/Remove doesn't want to get rid of the QuickTime. so we'll try the following technique if that happens:
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • I have purchased Quicktime Pro and can't enter key!

    I am using a windows vista PC, I have downloaded Quicktime 7 and then gone on to purchase the key for Quicktime pro. However! I can not find the QuickTime 7 Control Panel within my computer's control panel or anywhere else on the system for that matter! When I checked my windows XP PC to compare, I found the quicktime control panel straight away! Is this problem relating to the PC having Vista as an operating system, and if so is there a way round it as I really need to set up pro on my Vista machine.
    thank you in advance for anyone who can help, this is making my head hurt!

    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 error.
    Also make sure you purchased a key for the correct platform (Windows or Mac). QuickTime keys are not cross-platform.

  • Quicktime File Crashing Both Quicktime App and Finder in Mac, but Not Windows

    Hi,
         I have a drive full of Apple ProRes Quicktime files.  Almost all of them play perfectly, except 2.  Those 2 files have played in the past, but I've had problems with them.  They've come back to functionality in the past, but now they are not working again and I don't understand why.
         Whenever I go to open the files with Quicktime Pro 7, Quicktime X, FCP 7, Adobe Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder, I get the spinning beach ball and not only does Quicktime crash, but the finder crashes as well.  If I go to restart the finder, it never comes back online and I have to restart my late 2011 macbook Pro.
         I've tried repairing permissions and on the Macbook Hardrive and have used Disk Utility and Disk warrior on the hardrive containing the 2 quicktime files. Nothing has solved the problem.
         At first, I thought the Quicktime files might have become corrupted, but I installed Windows 7, using bootcamp, on the same macbook, hooked up the external hardrive and was able to play the quicktimes perfectly in Windows with quicktime 7 (not pro, because I don't want to buy it just for windows).  So, there is some sort of incompatability between these two quicktime files and my Macboook.
         Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on?
    -Scott

    If you are on Windows Vista and trying to write something to
    "Program Files" or its sub folders, write will not end up in the
    right place as "Program Files" is protected. What ever you write
    might go to a virtual store location. If that's the case try
    writing to app storage folder.

  • ITunes/Quicktime fix for Vista?

    Many commerical podcasts, as well as videos I know work in XP and MacOS don't seem to want to allow me to add them to my iTunes lib nor sync to my iPod. I suspect it's Quicktime's fault since when I try and play them in Vista quicktime says it cannot read the files atom, but the same videos run fine in XP and MacOS.
    I've reinstalled both many times in vista in case it was some sort of bad install and found other people having the same problem on these forums.
    Any word on an iTunes/Quicktime fix for Vista to allow us to view/sync these files again?

    This works an absolute treat. I couldn't get past the VB Script error but once I'd followed you're instructions it took me 15 minutes to get it all installed and running. Everything works fine.
    Cheers

  • Quicktime RAID Intel Vista Failed

    I've noticed a dozen posts regarding this issue. Intel says it's Quicktime causing the problem. How do we contact Quicktime Support to hear their side of the story. This is a major problem. Unsuspecting users can repeatedly lose data from these RAID failures caused by Quicktime.

    There is a problem with RAID volumes and QuickTime and iTunes on Windows Vista - using Intel chipset. That isn't in contention.
    As for what triggers it or not, hum... it's no fun if it affects you and your system. WHY is it that Quicktime and iTunes are an issue? is it related to choppy performance when playing back content from some (slower) boot drives?
    Safari 3 was made available when it was still "alpha" which I think was too early and tarnished it some (I could see only if it was actually needed for iPhone, but that begs more questions).
    +If you look in the Vista event viewer you will find event id 9 errors with a source of iastor, which is the intel raid driver. This is the source of the quicktime slowdown. If you leave quicktime running long enough it will fail both drives of a raid 1 array and Vista will crash.+

    Intel RAID
    QuickTime Vista RAID Havoc
    As someone who runs Vista x64, and has all my media and data files on a RAID, I don't take things like this lightly. (I also will not be installing Quicktime or iTunes until x64 support looks better.)
    UPDATE: So it looks like some of these issues could be related to using an Intel RAID array and that there could be fixes coming with the famous Vista Service Pack 1.
    http://www.geekzone.co.nz/hadders/2273
    Intel release notes for its Intel Matrix Storage Manager version 7.0.0.1020 that acknowledge a known problem with using iTunes and Quicktime to play video.
    The only thing I could find on Apple was the article
    iTunes Video Playback Performance
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305392
    which touches on QuckTime and DirectX and Direct3D.

    Did you remove Quicktime X?
    On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
    You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
    I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

  • Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same Mac Pro HD?

    Has anyone been able to install both Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same dedicated Windows hard drive? I have four HD in my Mac Pro, and one of them is dedicated for Windows (and bootable via Boot Camp). I found the following technical articles about installing Windows XP & Vista on the same hard drive (using two separate partitions) using a VMWare machine as the test system:

    Has anyone successfully installed Windows XP (32-bit) and Vista 64-bit) on the same NTFS partition?
    I already have Windows XP Pro (32-bit) SP3 installed on my single NTFS hard drive. I am looking for the best way to add the Vista 64-bit installation on the same hard drive.
    Any thoughts and advise are appreciated.

    Windows has its own list of boot OSs, and default, from msconfig. It will sit and wait for xx-seconds on startup in Windows if you want to boot from an alternate.
    As to whether Apple's OS Switcher (aka startup disk bootcamp control panel or tray icon) sees both, I had Windows Home Premium and Ultimate 64, and pretty sure OS X saw both. That was pre-Leopard and before there were 64-bit Apple drivers.
    I can't think of any scenerio of wanting to mix 32-bit and 64-bit on the same paritition, you realize you can't install the one over the other and must do a clean install.
    When I added a partition out of main partition (I wanted to put search index and page file on their own partition) those partitions aren't seen - are hidden - to Leopard.
