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?

  • My iPod said that it needed to do an update but halfway thru it stopped and said there was an error and now it's stuck with the apple and an empty loading bar. Also it won't register with my computer. Help?

    I plugged in my iPod and it needed an update. Before the update could complete it said there was an error and then closed the window. Now my iPod is stuck in the loading screen and won't register in iTunes. Please Help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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.

  • Final Cut Pro won't open

    Hi All,
    Please bear with me as I'm new to this forum.
    Final Cut Pro won't open on my computer and as a message, a window appear and says:
    "the waver form cache files folder does not have read/write access. Please select a new folder in the system setting dialogue or correct the problem on disk".
    I don't have access to the dialogue box at anytime because when I turn on FCP and this message appears, when I click "OK", FCP turns off. I have tried to open it through the icone but the same message comes back again.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    I never suggested repairing the boot disk.
    I should have been more specific in my suggestions.
    In my experience the best way to repair permissions via Disk Utility is to restart the computer in safe boot mode/repair permissions/restart.
    It is my understanding that running Disk Utility without a safe boot is less than effective.
    I do think this process is better than running DU from the OS disk but there are worst case scenarios where it must be done. The original posting probably doesn't apply to this situation.

  • My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!, My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT!

    My new Macbook Pro 13" won't register properly on our school's projectors when I try to run PPT (Epson EB510)!  Instead, colored bars go across the screen against a black background.  No matter how much I try to adjust the displays, PPT won't show on it.  However, my friend's Macbook Air works fine. She's 10.7.2, I'm 10.7.4, so we're both more or less OS X Lion.  What could be wrong?  Can I do anything to fix it?

    Make sure that your display is not mirrored. Mirroring forces you into "lowest common denominator" screen resolutions that can safely be displayed on BOTH screens, which may not be good enough for the projector.
    When you turn off Mirroring, you get Extended Desktop, where the two screens are joined along an edge to form a larger Extended Desktop. To use this, drag a window onto the "other" screen.

  • My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google), Opera, or Mozilla Firefox. I already did the "Reset Safari", restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete.

    My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google). Opera and Mozilla Firefox won't load any sites whatsoever. I already did the "Reset Safari" several times, restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete. I virus scanned the computer with Sophos, Avast, and iAntiVirus and it looks clean.

    Is iAntiVirus the best virus protection to use for a MacBook?
    The best anti-virus protection is your own common sense, and what you already bought and paid for with your Mac. Third party products such as "iAntiVirus" convey no additional benefit, and as you already determined are very capable of causing trouble.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.

    MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.  This only happens when using the external monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.
    Then when I open the lid it is crashed running at fill tilt, pumping out heat to beat the band. I am forced to hold the button down and reboot.
    I wiped my hard disk and reinstalled my OS, but it didn't help. I reversed my OS to 10.5.0 and it solved the DVI problem but still won't sleep. This post will probably be deleted by Apple, they did it a few days ago. I just don't know what to do, and I consider myself a real Apple expert. Just hoping you realize you are not the only one.

  • TS3988 My computer won't register...?

    My computer won't register...I press the "Register Computer" it runs for a long time but never works...
    What am I doing wrong??

    Hi Emily-
    The first thing to try is to reset your iPod - hold down the Menu and Select (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo. This will often get it recognized. If it doesn't, see these tips:

  • My MacBook Pro won't let me mount my external Hard Drive. Just trying to restore my iTunes library.

    My MacBook Pro, less than a year old, started acting weird. I backed everything up, took it in to Best Buy, who sent it out to Apple Repair and they put in a new motherboard.
    It's running on Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
    Now I am trying to put everything back on the computer from my external Maxtor 80GB Hard Drive. MacBook Pro won't recognize the external drive.
    I tried Disk Utility. I can see the external drive, and did a repair disk and verify disk. Several times. Each time it says "This partition map seems to be ok."
    However, I am not able to mount it, as that option is greyed out and i can't select it.
    Also, under the Icon for the external hard drive, it has the Macintosh HD Icon (essentially my computer). I tried to restore this way, didn't work.
    I need this to mount, as it has all of my itunes stuff on it; dozens of my sons movies, and my entire iTunes library.
    PLEASE HEEEEELP!! HOW CAN I MOUNT THIS EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE? Thank you in advance

  • I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and now my MacBook Pro won't start up.

    I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and moved the system.kext and two others to my desktop and deleted the originals and now the MacBook Pro won't start up. All I get at start up is the apple icon then a bunch of text shows up part of which says Mac OS version: not yet set. then the apple icon turns into the power icon and tells me to turn off the computer. I've tried reinstalling from the install DVD by holding down option when powering on and selecting the install DVD and it just goes to a white screen with the apple icon and stays like that. I didn't have the disk utility on my Mac before this happened because I deleted it to make room on my computer a while ago so I'm not sure if that's why it won't load the install DVD but anyone who knows the solution to this with out going to get it repaired would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Never mind my dad just found the original install DVD and that worked. Before I was using an install disc that Apple sent me for another issue I was having, but thanks for replying so quickly and trying to help on this Thanksgiving day!!!

  • How many Shuffles can I register on one computer?

    I'm planning on purchasing 7 shuffles for groomsmen gifts. I'd like to add the same playlist to each one.
    Can I register this many shuffles - along with my own nano - on one computer?
    Thanks.

    As said you prolly want to post this in iPod section, but to my knowledge I don't think there's a limit as to how many devices you can register to a computer's iTunes account.
    There is, however, a limit (think 5) to the number of computers you can authenticate an iTunes account to. But that won't affect the scenario you mention.
    Congrats.... Cool gift idea btw.

  • Hi! My MacBook Pro won't start! HELP !!!

    Hi! My MacBook Pro won't start! I have tried everything I can think of like Safe Mode (doesn't work), Recovery (does not find Recovery Drive), Booting with OS Snow Leopard Cd (doesn't work)...
    I have really no clue about what to do now... I paid quite a lot of money for this computer and am pretty short of money nowadays! Would like to repair with help rather than having to take it to Apple Store.

    I tried booting with OS X Snow Leopard CD, it didn't work!  (my cd player works! recognizes the Snow Leopard CD, but then never opens it... goes back forever to the with screen + apple and spinning disk)
    I don't care about the content, it's OK if i lose all DATA... I just want to bring this Mac BACK TO LIFE!
    When i run coomand on root# fsck -fy  --> RESULT = my HD was checked and seems to be FINE!
