Remove Quicktime as Default downloader

Hi, I believe this is the place to get my question answered. quickly. I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question. I did do a search in the archives but missed the subject if it is there. Right now I am very annoyed because Quicktime, with the updating of itunes, has installed itself and taken over my downloading. I want to remove this as a defulat when I download an ipod video. I updated itunes on my IBM Thinkpad and now Quicktime wants to handle all my downloads and I do not it want to. I need to convert files for use on my Treo and need the download the way it comes from the website. Quicktime gives me the option of saving the video but only if a I purchase Quicktime Pro, and I am certainly not inclined to do that now that Quicktime has hijacked my computer. So, I need help diabling QuickTime from being the default downloader for videos, for example, the free ipod downloads from from Channel Frederator (great cartoons by the way). I have tried to figure this out and have not succeeded. I have even uninstalled Quicktime but then itunes won't work. I was perfectly happy with the way it was before the upgrade and despair of ever getting back my control over downloads. Please help me. Thanks Sherrill Hondorf

Use the QuickTime Control Panel. Not sure which tab but you want to open the MIME Settings window.
Remove the check mark for all the file types you don't want the plug-in to open and restart your browser.

  • I remove Quicktime player 10.0

    I involuntarily remove Quicktime player 10.0 from my mac and now when i wanted to download it again, but it's not possible because it show me that quicktime is built into the mac ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ ), when i download quicktime it's only version 7.5.5 or latest with blue icon (before i had blue, grey icon)
    Please what should i do when i want a version of Quicktime player 10.0

    QuickTime Player will definitely be on your Mac OS X 10.6 installer DVD, either a retail copy or the installer disks that came with your Mac. Here are the steps:
    1) download Pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com/
    2) Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD.
    3) Launch Pacifist
    4) Click the button that says "Open Apple Install Disks"
    5) In the window that will open, accept the choice of "OS Install - Mac OS X and standard applications"  A window titled "OSInstall.mpkg" will open
    6) If the list of contents under "Contents of OSInstall.mpkg" does not appear, click the disclosure triangle to show the list
    7) Click the disclosure triangle next to "ContentsofEssentialSystemSoftware"
    8) Click the disclosure triangle next to "ContentsofEssentialSystemSoftwareGroup"
    9) Click the disclosure triangle next to "Contents of Essentials.pkg"
    10) Click the disclosure triangle next to "Applications"
    11) Click "QuickTime Player.app" to select it
    12) Select the "Install Files to Default Location" command under the File menu
    13) Make sure that "Use Administrator Privileges" is checkmarked and that the file will be extracted to /Applications/
    14) Click the "Install" button.
    Pacifist should then restore QuickTime Player X to your Applications folder.

  • Removing QuickTime 7.7.1 Plug-in

    How do I remove QuickTime 7.7.1 plug-in in Lion 10.7.3. When I download a PDF in Safari, it uses QuickTime as the default to save and open one page of the PDF.

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder by selecting Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar (Lion), or by looking in the folder with the house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window (pre-Lion.)
    Delete the following items from the Library folder:
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.

  • I cant remove quicktime from my computer

    I cant remove quicktime from my computer when ever i try to remove it the uninstall wizard goes half way and goes away, whenever i try to open itunes, i get an error message that states i must get a newer version of quicktime i try to download a newer version but i get the same answer when ever i try to open itunes.
    Please help.

    I have been having the exact problems. It seems I have tried everything , what you have mentioned and even more. Someone please help because apple will not.

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/classes/quicktime.qt/default icon

    Every time I try and download the new iTunes this message appears every time.HKEYLOCALMACHINE/software/classes/quicktime.qt/default icon. Varify you have access to that key etc.
    CAN ANYONE HELP ME PEASE!

    I had a similar error:
    Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib
    .QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have
    sufficient access to that key, or contact your
    support personel.
    Apple help told me it was a Windows problem and that
    I needed the Service Pack 2 (SP2). I already had that
    update, so that alone was not the problem. In surfing
    the net, I found an answer for my error that worked
    on bleepingcomputer.com from HitSquad. Here it is, it
    may work for you too:
    Click Start>Run and type "regedit" (without the
    quotes)in the Run dialog box and click OK. This will
    open the Windows Registry Editor. In the left side of
    the window, navigate to the path in the error
    message. HKEYLOCALMACHINE is the top folder,
    Software is the next folder, etc., etc. Right click
    on the Quicktime.qt folder and select
    "Permissions...". In the Security tab, it should list
    Group or user names you have. Select a user name and
    in the lower part of the window, make sure "Full
    Control" and "Read" have check marks under "Allow".
    Click "Apply". Now log back on under the username
    listed in the upper part of the window.
    Mine had a strange twist, even though I am an
    Adminstrator on my computer, for some reason, my user
    name was not listed. My son's user name was - maybe
    because he loaded the itunes initially? I changed his
    account to administrator and loaded itunes and
    QuickTime under his name and the error went away.
    Anyway, itunes 7 is now working. I'm no expert, but
    this worked for me. Good Luck!
    JB
    This was a fix for me. I have to use my wifes log in to windows. I think she might have loaded the itunes a while ago under her log in. Good Luck everyone. At least now I can use my 80 gig ipod for something else than a paper weight. I must say though, Microsoft would have had a fix by now for this.
    Good night and good luck,
    Chief

  • Cannot open nor remove quicktime from my computer

    Cannot open nor remove Quicktime from my computer.
    Quicxktime is installed but when I try to open a mp3 file using quicktime my Windows installer tells me that Quicktime cannot be found.

    Windows installer tells me that Quicktime cannot be found.
    Is that the QuickTime.msi that can't be found, robert?
    If so, unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly? If so, does your QuickTime Player launch now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Remove QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard

    Hello!
    I am experience some problems with QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard in cooperation with Perian and DownloadHelper (a FireFox add-on).
    Every time or better said sometimes I use DownloadHelper with Firefox under Snow Leopard on my MBP a process called "QtKitServer" crashes and I get a black screen.
    And yes, I installed QuickTime 7 on this machine. I also tested this on my iMac (QT X only!) there this doesn't happen.
    This must be a bug in OS X. But I need this tool on MBP without getting any black screens just because of QtKitServer crashes.
    So, I found a solution: I want to get rid of QuickTime 7.
    But how can I remove QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard?
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello folks!
    I found a work around. A few minutes ago I deactivated the icon preview for "Desktop". And until now everything seems to work.
    It seems to be that in this moment when DownloadHelper and Firefox are writing a file on the desktop who isn't downloaded completly QuickLook wants to access that file, can't understand it, and crashes.
    So it must be a Mac OS X / QuickTime bug.

  • I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id?

    I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Is it just the app store unlink? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id? Will they get removed when I unlink my apple id?
    Are there any other procedures I need to take into account?
    Thanks

    You need to remove all software that you acquired from the Mac App Store, including newer versions of OS X. These are all registered to you and encoded with your Apple ID in the licensed copy. You cannot legally pass any of the software to the new owner, which is why Apple states to erase the Mac and return it to the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac. You must also remove any older Apple software that you installed by DVD or pass the DVD to the new owner with the Mac.

  • How do I remove an app from download list in app store.

    I made the mistake of signing up for the new photos app for the mac, not realizing I would have to also install the beta for the Yosemite update.  I think I better not do this but I have the app siting in my app store updates list.  Can I remove the app without downloading it?  Or should I download it and then just trash it?  I was willing to deal with a potentially unstable photo app but do not want to have an unstable OS.  (Maybe you can tell I am not the most experienced user here).

    thank you for your replies.  yes I do use time machine!  My problem is that i recently installed parallels and run some windows financial programs and don't want to risk impairing the virtual machine functions.  i guess I need to go over to the parallels people and ask them--.  Sounds like the worst that could happen is I would learn how to re-install using time machine.

  • Need help changing the default download location in Firefox3.6.16

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/808920]</blockquote><br>
    I have been having default download location problem for over a year now and no one has been able to offer a solution so if you can figure this out, well, I can't say enough good about you.
    Here's my problem. I'm an online math instructor for a college. I use Firefox 3.6.16, and have also tried the latest version. Os is Vista. Students email me Microsoft Word 2007 documents every day as attachments to email. I click on the documents, make corrections and when I go to save their document to my computer, the default always wants to save it in a temp file! I read where Firefox is supposed to default save in the desktop (which is where I want it to default to, but that never happens). When the save defaults to the temp file, I have to scroll up numerous files and find the desktop option and click it to save it on the desktop. This is not a huge deal until you have to do it for 90 students and then it becomes time consuming.
    Numerous times I have followed the standard process of (TOOLS>OPTIONS>SAVE FILES TO DESKTOP) within Firefox but that never works. I've reinstalled Firefox, that doesn't work. I've also tried to change the "Save Options" settings within Word 2007 and that hasn't solved the problem either. Please advise if you have a solution. Thanks in advance!

  • I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information.

    I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information. I have tried it several times.. But it says I cannot download this app unless I give my payment information.. So I went back and looked again and again.. and it still says it's "Free"...

    You need to contact the authors re download or payment issues - we are only users like yourself and help with iPhoto for the Mac issues
    here is Old TOad's list of potential packages including his comments
    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • How do I remove photos that were downloaded from my laptop to my phone?

    How do I remove photos that were downloaded from my laptop to my phone?

    You sync with the computer again using iTunes but using the instructions quoted below from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201313
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.

  • What do I lose by removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin"?

    After upgrading to Leopard (Erase and install, then migrate data from a backup off an external HD), all the flash videos and ads had the Quicktime icon with a question mark on it. After searching through Apple discussions and google, I found a site that suggested removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin" from the library folder. It seemed like a strange fix but I did it anyway since I already went into Quicktime prefs and unchecked "Enable Flash." I also reinstalled Adobe flash player for Safari- both with no luck.
    So what will I be losing by removing this plugin? I'm assuming its a necessary plugin.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi
    So what will I be losing by removing this plugin? I'm assuming its a necessary plugin.
    Very necessary. In answer to your question, have a look at this thread, especially QuickTimeKirk's post.
    Have you checked your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime Settings panel? In the Miscellaneous panel only QuickTime HTML ought to be selected. If the other boxes are selected, then you'll have problems with QT in Safari.
    Regarding Flash, if you reinstalled it, then make sure you "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
