ReInstall Quicktime

I cannot reinstall quicktime - i was needing to downgrade my quicktime back to the 7.6.4 (download and install attempt) and the system kept saying that it couldn't do it because there was a more current version on the system - so i deleted the version on the system and tried again - still get same message - please help - how do i get quicktime back?

FOUND SOME INFO ON THE BOARDS - DOWNLOADED VERSION OF QT THAT I WANTED - THEN ALSO DOWNLOADED A PROGRAM CALLED PACIFIST - INSTALLED PACIFIST - THEN OPENED THE QT PACKAGE FROM WITHIN PACIFIST AND REPLACED WHATEVER WAS ON MY SYSTEM - SO FAR EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL -

    When I try to play a downloaded TV show, itunes stops working and I get a error message "APPCRASH". I have updated itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK.
    Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Restart the PC and try watching the videos in iTunes again. Do they play now?

  • Blue screen crash reinstalling quicktime on notebook

    Can anyone help? for a month and a half I have been trying to reinstall quicktime and itunes on my toshiba window xp laptop. Everytime I get a blue screen crash at the end of the quicktime install around where it says something like initializing quicktime types. When I submit this error to microsoft the report says it is due to Antivirus software, I am running Window onecare live. I have tried every fix I can find out there including removing onecare and I still get the crash. I really do not care to rebuild the system. Please help, I am getting tired of the music on my ipod! Thx

    I have been having this "problem" since running a QuickTime update in January 2007. I've spent countless hours de-installing anti-virus software, minimizing my hardware footprint (removing printers, scanners, etc.), detoxing my system with Microsoft Uninstallers, Registry Cleaners, and running Windows XP in a minimized manner.
    On Thursday April 10, 2008 I spent four hours on the telephone with a competent, qualified Microsoft XP engineer (plus an XP supervisor in the background). Microsoft was very diligent and completely hospitable working with me to resolve this issue. In the end, Microsoft recommended I talk with Apple directly.
    On Friday April 11, 2008 I spent one hour with an Apple engineer. Once again, the customer service was excellent, but the results are the same. Microsoft and Apple engineers are "Befuddled". We've tried eliminating all Apple software from my PC via files and the registry, rebooting, and then attempting a fresh install. The PC reboots when "Initializing Quicktime Types" is displayed towards the end of the installation process.
    We've even set up a new user and attempted to install Quicktime on a USER with no associated "software overhead". No success.
    I've tried the Quicktime Only install, and Quicktime with Itunes installation. Same results. I am taking my PC to Baybrook Mall (Friendswood, Texas) on April 20 for the MAC Genius Bar people to review this problem on my PC. My expectations are very low... since I'm usually much more PC and XP competent than most people. My background occupation is Information Technology from 1975 to date. I evened owned and operated computer stores with "New Build" and "Repair" shops. I'm very seasoned working on PC's and associated software, and this is the first problem where I join the "Befuddled".
    If anyone has a solution for this problem, please contact me and make a posting for everyone else.
    Thanx.

  • HT3678 If I download a .mov file from gmail, I am not able to open the file. I reinstalled QuickTime 7.6.6, still unable to open the file. If I download the same file from another mail server I have no trouble. What is gmail doing to my file?

  • Help! I need to reinstall quicktime-

    I ran into trouble after I downloaded Perian and Divx, hoping to view and (eventually) save avi files from my rca small wonder camera as quicktime files. At first it worked, but very quickly quicktime began to crash when I would try to open one of these files - and the next day it began to crash whenever I tried to open any files at all. These included standard .mov files. So I got desperate and thought I'd better get rid of Perian and Divx for mac, which I did. Quicktime still crashed. So then, just now, I decided to uninstall and then reinstall Quicktime. I did what I had done with Perian - searched for "quicktime" and trashed everything I found. This was a mistake! because, when I downloaded Quicktime 7.5 from the Apple site, it's just an updater, and there is nothing to update. How do I get the full program back?!!

    Thanks! It is working now.
    BTW, what are people doing about mov files opening extremely slowly, dropping frames, and so on? That's why I installed Perian in the first place (and also to view avi files). But I don't want to mess up Quicktime again - so how can I fix these problems. Apologies for spamming my own thread - and thanks for the advice.

  • Need to reinstall QuickTime X - no disk

    I have a MacBook that was came with Leopard but now has Snow Leopard; it received a new HD through AppleCare, and was given 10.6.3 during the repair. I was NOT given new install disks.
    I now need to reinstall QuickTime X, which I (foolishly) deleted in a failed attempt to install QT 7 (to play AVI movies).
    Downloaded QuickTime 7 will not install because my system says I have QT X installed.
    How do I re-install QuickTime X (or install 7) to 10.6.3 without any Snow Leopard install disks?
    Thanks.

    Until you get a Snow Leopard disk, you won't be able to find the files anywhere.
    For your original problem, Quicktime 7 should have been installed in the Utilities folder. You can't install the QT7 from a download because it is not the correct version to run on Snow Leopard. If you had a QT7 Pro license, it will work with the version of QT7 that should have been installed.

  • Need to reinstall Quicktime Pro on Windows 7

    I have been trying to reinstall Quicktime Pro onto Windows 7. I got a new computer with Windows 7. I used to have Quicktime Pro on my old PC - Windows XP. I know the product key. But forgot the order number (dummy me, I forgot to save that email). I hope I don't have to buy it again.

    Oh, I found my information about my purchase. Good thing I saved it (Didn't think I did). Hope I can download it and reinstall it without having to pay for it again.

  • SERIOUS PROBLEM! I need to reinstall quicktime after deleting the .app

    I am trying to reinstall quicktime that came with my macbook pro, after deleting the quicktime.app file and the folders in the library.
    You might ask why I did this? I have quicktime pro to install, but it's version 7.1.1, and would NOT install over 7.1.2; I messed up though, I know that now.
    How do I fix it? Trying to reinstall quicktime 7.1.2 that I downloaded just crashes the installer.
    Thanks!

    No, I have not deleted the Quicktime712.pkg from Library/Receipts. Should I do this, or put the OSX disk back in the drive and then run the package that is in my Receipts folder?
    I run software update religiously, so I know that is not an issue.
    Thanks for the info, hopefully what I told you helps narrow the problem a bit.

  • Why can't I uninstall or reinstall quicktime and Itunes on my computer

  • Do I need to reinstall QuickTime?

    Posted this in the QuickTime forum but aside from a spammer I've not heard from anyone.  Hoping someone here can help me.
    I'm new to Macs so I'm not sure how to proceed with a problem I'm having.  I was trimming a couple of files in QuickTime and everything was working great until I tried to trim a larger file.  When I tried to save it a popup window opened with a message saying "QuickTime application quit unexpectedly".  Hitting the details button revealed a huge report (part of that report is pasted below).  Since that error occurred, I can't trim and save any of my files.  Every time I do I receive the same error message.  I've restarted my Mac and have the same results. 
    Do I need to remove and reinstall QuickTime?  Version is 10.4 (833).  What can I do to troubleshoot and fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    is there any other to download my video recordings to my desk top?

  • Uninstall & Reinstall QuickTime Daily

    I have Windows XP. Since I updated iTunes (to 7) and QuickTime (to 7), I have been having many QuickTime problems. I have to uninstall and reinstall QuickTime daily to be able to use iTunes, or any other applications which use QuickTime. If I try to open a program needing QuickTime, a box pops up saying that I cannot open the application because I need to install QuickTime 6 or more. Is there anyway to get around this? I am tired of uninstalling and reinstalling QuickTime every single day. I've tried turning Firewall on or having it off. It didn't seem to matter. I've also tried turning my RegCure & XoftSpySE off and that didn't seem to matter either. HELP!!! Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

    Having the same prob reinstalling QT7.2 ('already newer version' etc.), but don't have the uninstall feature of 10.4/Tiger available. Does QT write a hidden file somewhere I can trash and make things all more better?
    Have Tiger on my other DA-G4 and G5 Dual, but upgrading is out of the question on this, my work machine, as I'd have to upgrade the ProTools cards too - about $10k from what I'm told.
    The problem appeared immediately after installation of the Nov11th QT7.3/iTunes update. My 10.3.9 ProTools G4 gets most of the way through the QuicKeys X3 v3.11 startup, then the rainbow spinner pops up and 'Application Not Responding' shows in the 'CMD-Shift-ESC' window.
    Have tried reinstalling QuicKeys, preceeded by a drive search for word/letter combinations using the Finder search [i.e. no hidden file searches], but no luck. Even went with the default shortcuts just in case one of mine was corrupted but no difference there.
    TIA,
    Bruce

  • How can I reinstall Quicktime X in Lion?

    OK, to make a long story short, I had a new audio problem in the Quicktime X Player after installing Lion (that I oddly enough didn't have in QuickLook, QuickTime Player 7, or VLC), and I assumed a reinstallation was in order (because I also assumed I had mucked something up by trashing some "orphan" files with TrashMe). I thought I couldn't reinstall Quicktime X Player from the Lion installation package without another two-hour-plus download, so I reinstalled it from my Snow Leopard installation disc using Pacifist naively assuming Software Update would bring me back up to date. Well, that didn't work, and now I have a copy of Quicktime X Player that won't run on Lion. I tried redownloading the Lion installation package and reinstalling the correct version of Quicktime X Player with Pacifist again, but Pacifist can't handle Lion's installation package (it crashes when you try to install or extract anything). Well, I don't have a backup, so that's not an option, and I don't have any external devices large enough to back up my files and applications, so a clean install with Lion Recovery isn't an attractive option either. Is there any way I can install Quicktime X Player on my computer again without wipping my hard drive? Is it safe to let the original Lion intallation process I downloaded from the app store run again? Will it simply replace the relevant existing files no-harm-no-foul, or will I just further muck things up?

    Yeah, I don't feel like taking any more risks. Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing.
    On the support.apple.com article on Lion Recovery, it says "These steps will erase and reformat the storage device. This article will instruct you on setting up the storage device to use the GUID partition scheme and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which are required to install Lion and an Internet Restore partition on your external storage device. You should back up any important files that are on the device to a different drive."
    I understand the necessity of a backup option, but I need to replace a failed superdrive, and that gets budget priority over reinstalling Quicktime. (My MacBook Pro, bought in Japan, shipped with a defective superdrive that could read but not burn - it could never burn and was just plain broken. I wasn't willing to part from my laptop long enough to get it replaced while it was still under warranty, let alone deal with Japanese Apple support, but now I have something that I need to burn by the end of the week.)

  • How do I reinstall QuickTime X for Lion on MacBook Air

    I accidentally moved QuickTime X to Trash and then emptied the Trash.  I'm now faced with most files gone and some still present in Trash because their properties are set to not allow it to be empited from Trash.  I tried going through and setting the properties to allow the files to be removed but to no success.  Can anyone help me remove the files left behind and reinstall QuickTime X.
    PS...this is my first Apple computer.  Thanks.

    If you don't have access to another Mac so that you can copy the QuickTime Player application, you'll need to reinstall Mac OS X.
    As to the Trash problem, try restarting the Mac and emptying the Trash again.
    Regards.
