Quicktime without iTunes?

How do I install QuickTime WITHOUT the iTunes crap?

hi beckfield!
it's possible to give feedback like that directly to the Apple folks (we're a user to user troubleshooting forum). these would probably be the best forms to use for a suggestion like that:

Installing Quicktime without iTunes

Is there any way to install Quicktime without iTunes. I have an older laptop and I just don't need iTunes there as it's on my desktop.
There is a link on the Apple site which points to a 20 MB dowload (information below) but the download link still takes me to the "norman" QuickTime and iTunes download page.
Very frustrating - would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,

Getting QuickTime without iTunes?

Is there any way at all to acquire QuickTime without having to install iTunes? With earlier versions I was not forced to install iTunes with QuickTime. Furthermore, I don't know of any third party media player that plays .mov files without QT being installed on the computer, if there is such a player, please enlighten me.
Thanks.

How to install Quicktime WITHOUT iTunes?

It seems that there isn't a Quicktime installation kit, just an "iTunes with Quicktime" kit. That can't be right. I don't want to install Apple bloatware that I'm never going to use and would just uninstall right away just to get a simple video player.
Seriously, iTunes includes DRM (Digital Restrictions Software) of the sort that you often can never get off of your system without crippling it in some way.
All I want to do is watch movie previews. I shouldn't have to install 35 MB of software (compressed) just to watch movie previews.
So please, tell me how to install just Quicktime, or tell me about a Quicktime 7 compatible media player I can use as an alternative.
Tony
P.S. Why are so many movie previews available only in Quicktime format? Does Apple pay the studios to get a monopoly in this area or what? You can usually can get around this by going to Canadian sites, for example the US site for Imagine Me and You has only a Quicktime format preview, but you can go to a Canadian site, http://www.icinema.ca/movie.php?movieID=51628, and they have the preview in Windows Media and Real formats ONLY (Quicktime isn’t even available). But that's an inconvenience. Why can’t we get to choose our media format in the US?
Alienware something-or-other Windows XP

Thanks for the link. That's exactly what I was looking for.
I went back to the "Quicktime Download" tab and I still can't see a link to the /standalone page. It must be hidden somewhere, but Real does the same sort of bait-and-switch thing, except they are trying to trick you into paying for their product, which is even worse.
Also I apologize for the attitude. Just kind of frustrated, having spent too much time trying to solve this very minor problem.

Quicktime and iTunes 6 problems...Urgent Help! Please!

I have recieved an iPod for christmas, for use on my laptop which currently uses iTunes 6. I would like to be able to burn some tracks onto a disc, but a CD-Burner for the laptop is not availiable. My Family Computer however, does have a CD-Burner, so I thought I would be able to burn the tracks from here. I installed the version of iTunes supplied with the iPod and connected the ipod to the computer. I attempted to play some purchased music, in order to add it to my library and was told it was not authorised to play in the computer. I attemtpted to authorise it and it then told me that I needed to install iTunes 6. I did so, and half way through the download, it stopped and told me their was an error with the Quick time download (Error : - 3). I attemtpted to use iTunes after the installation finished and it told me that I could not use it becuase it require a certain version of Quicktime. I then attempted to dwnload the version of Quicktime, without iTunes. There was an error (1402). After tis there was another error (-1603). It then told me Quicktime could not complete its installation...Could anyone direct in the right direction to being able to have iTunes 6 and burn tracks from my iPod? Help would be MUCH appreciated...
I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2...

hiya!
I then attempted to dwnload the version of Quicktime, without iTunes. There was an error (1402).
hmmm. that's the underlying problem that is causing the -3 on the itunes install.
let's try applying the following treatments:
Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
... and if you end up trying the regedit, let's take a few additional precautions on the standalone QT 7.0.3 reinstall after that.
reboot the PC first. then download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.3 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.3 Standalone Installer
keep us posted.

Good luck!

Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.

@ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
@ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!)
@ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack. i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot.
Thanks fo rall yor help!

DEP error when opening quicktime and itunes

I've installed the latest version of both quicktime and itunes on my new laptop but neither of them open as they are prevented by DEP on windows vista, does anyone have any idea how to get around this or help me. It's fustrating as i can't update the music on my i-pod touch

DEP errors often seem to occur with incompatible codecs.
Go to your control panel (classic view) and try to start QUicktime Preferences. Post the error message *in full*. This can give a clue about codec issues.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them.
Assuming this is a codec problem you need to remove then reinstall QUickitme after uninstalling the problem software.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:

Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

X.3.9 destroyed Quicktime AND iTunes - neither launches

3)TRIED to instal QT 6.5.2 Reinstall - Install stops with a red exclamation mark on my harddrive
No QuickTime, no iTunes - Please Help

welcome to **** my friend. I had a client coming by yesterday to pick up their soundtrack which i spent with them about 30 hrs making. ANNNNNND, [Reason] would not launch. it said it was the first time i ran it and it wanted me to install each disk and then my serial number!
Final Cut Pro also stopped working.
In the heat of the moment after i called and told the client it wasn't gonna be ready (and they FREAKED), i deleted Quicktime completely - EVERYTHING that said Quicktime (did thid this with the files and folder search thing in the top right) and still nada.
Then......... i opened my Pro Tools session and Voila!, Reason opens....what da? so i got the stuff bounced down but was now wondering how i'd burn an audio CD for them. Thank Gawd, Toast was still working - i made the CD.
This morning......iTunes opens outta nowhere. Looks like all is back to normal (but without Quicktime). So...i'll locate all my mpg's and whatever other video files i have and make them all open with Real Player now.
but it looks like i'm without QT - though it still operates with Safari (which also updated itself) weirdness this has been.

Quicktime and itunes wont install. I have never had quicktime installed on my computer before

I recently bought an ipod touch 4g and realized that I needed itunes to activate it. After downloading itunes it wouldn't install, no error messages or anything, when I click on the installer it just doesn't do anything.
After downloading several versions of itunes (older versions) I finally found one that started to install. Then it told me that I need Quicktime on my computer in order for it to install. So I downloaded the latest version of quicktime and had the same problem, when I click on the installer, nothing happens. I tried downloading older versions of quicktime but still had the same problem.
I have never had quicktime or itunes installed on this computer before, so I know that it isn't an older version of the program hidden in my computer that is preventing the installation from happening.
My computer is running on Windows 7. I know that there wasn't a problem with downloading the software, the files weren't corrupted or anything. There are no error messages, the software doesn't even partially install. When I click on the installer, nothing happens. I have tried running the programs as an administrator and that doesn't change anything.
I have tried so many different things, but can't remember everything that I tried. Yesterday I spent nearly 10 hours trying to sort this out because I was determined to get my ipod running. I only stopped when my internet credit ran out and today after buying some more, I am trying again. Please help.

I appreciate the quick response, thank you for that.
One thing I did try was windows cleanup utility and searched through the program files for all apple software, but had none. I even deleted the temp files on my computer, and on my internet browser, but nothing happened.
One thing that I didn't think of was deleting the installation files in my downloads folder, pretty silly of me but I didn't think it would make a difference. I also spent about 2-3gig on downloads yesterday and didn't want to delete the files but as a last resort I did and emptied my recycle bin, then downloaded a fresh copy of Quicktime and finally it installed!
Now I am in the process of downloading a fresh copy of iTunes, the download hasn't finished yet so I haven't had a chance to install it yet but I have a much better feeling about it this time after deleting all the old installation files from my downloads folder. If Quicktime worked after that, I am sure iTunes will.
I can't believe it was something so simple as deleting the installation files in my downloads folder and emptying the recycle bin. I had seriously gone through my entire computer looking for any little file that was related to Quicktime or iTunes. I didn't even think of the two most obvious places. I spent so much time and credit downloading multiple files and my computer even got a virus when trying to download a copy from an unauthorized source, I had no problem getting rid of the virus, but struggled with Quicktime and iTunes, that is why I got so frustrated! I feel like an idiot now :-P
Thank you for your help. I still havent installed iTunes yet, so fingers crossed. I think it will work now though.

Quicktime and iTunes "quit unexpectedly" when I try to open them

Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

How to re-load OS 3.0 without iTunes? My iPhone has a NON-Apple alien OS.

My iPhone has a NON-Apple alien Chinese OS running. This OS caused iTunes to NOT see the phone on USB when I connect the phone to the computer. I want to re-load the non-Apple OS to Apple version 3.0 but I cannot because iTunes does not see the phone. I know the os is Chinese and alien because none of the icons are correct, example I see no ipod, its labeled audioplayer. I see no Safari, its labeled services and so on. I also can NOT see the about, its not found. I have a video recorder it works, I thought iPhone 3G can not run videos. I have lots of Chinese games and symbols. I do have the at&t SIM, it works OK, and I just want to load the phone with the latest Apple 3G version 3.0 OS and have iTunes see the phone like every other American iPhone but I can not figure out how to do that without iTunes seeing the iPhone.

I took the phone to the Apple store in my mall. The Apple experts at my mall have never seen anything like this phone. It's totally functioning like an iPhone but its not one. The dimensions of the case are exact same size as the iPhone 3g we put them side by side. Then we also noticed that the screen is about 1/4 inch shorter than the touch screen of the real Apple iPhone this is the ONLY physical give away other than then OS its running. The person I spoke to worked at the store for 2 years and he never saw such a close copy that works so well. Its almost like they took a real Apple case and replaced the circuits with a copy. The funny thing is the fake phone works really good. I just can NOT get iTunes to load. I can copy and paste music videos, pictures, files to the phone and it all works OK on the phone. The voice calls are good. The video is great that it shoots, the camera is great! I will see if I can load apps, I have not tried yet. I wish I could figure out who made this unique clone alien phone. The quality is up there with Apple. I am starting to like this phone because its so different!!!! I will investigate the chinese links posted on this issue.

How to delete tune without iTunes

Hi,
I have a problem, I have some old podcast which I like to keep on my harddrive. Then I got the ipod, so I want to store the podcast episodes there. But dragging direct from Finder to ipod show me it copied but didn't appear under podcast. I found out after a few trial and error that I should have added the podcast to iTunes before dragging into ipod. So...
Good : Finder -> iTunes Podcast -> iPod
Bad : Finder -> iPod
So now those files I drag direct from finder into ipod are in the ipod but I can't get rid of them, cause they don't show up in the iTunes list. It shows up in Senuti and iPodDisk, but both don't allow me to delete the song. Now I can't drag those podcast episodes in to ipod from iTunes podcast anymore. It somehow recognise that the file exist on the ipod but wouldn't list it on the podcast.
So, back to the question, How to delete tune without iTunes?? thanks

Did you try using the Finder? I'm trying to accomplish similar management tasks. Finder seems far superior to itune management, for podcasts management. This might work-- First quit itunes.
Use a finder window, not spotlight, search itunes and single-click on any folder by that name. Notice which of these files is in your startup disc (in case you have other bootable drives connected)-- Notice the little icons on the bottom of the Finder window. Double click on "iTunes Music" at the window bottom. A new Finder window should open. I recomend the list mode, selectable at the top left of Finder window. Now you should be able to view all your itune- contents on the computer. It seems these files can be deleted, but one must remeber to empty trash before going further. Unfortunately this approach won't allow adding new folders that will show up in itunes.

How can I restore the phone to factory settings for her to use without itunes automaticly trying to restore it to the back up data to my last back up?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
You will find a list of your iDevice Backups there:
Edit (Control+,) - Preferences - Devices
Delete the Backups you don't need anymore, but if you delete all Backups you can't restore your iPhone.
Hope i could help you
