So I have to upgrade to QuickTIme Pro to get full screen capability?!?

I'm new to macs and love it. I am a little disappointed though that, unless I'm mistaken, you have to pay for QuickTIme Pro to get the full screen capability Windows Media gives for free. Is this really the case?

The Pro upgrade allows full screen playback of "local" (on your computer) files. Those you view in a browser window can't be played at full screen size until you save them (another Pro feature).
WMP opens any Web based link in its own Player window instead of the browser. Web authors (those that know) can do the same with a QuickTime file. These files can also be coded to be Presentation files that play full screen.

Some QT files are coded to be played in iTunes which does allow full screen playback (including any local file you add to its Library).
So. You don't need QT Pro to play local files at full screen. Just add them to iTunes.
If you wish to easily save files you view online you'll need the Pro upgrade.

  • HT3678 Problem upgrading to Quicktime Pro

    I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and have both Quicktime 10.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I have paid for the upgrade to Quicktime Pro (to upgrade Quicktime 7.6.6 and have followed the directions (multiple times) and cannot seem to get the upgrade to kick in. I've spent a couple of hours going around in circles. I'd appreciate some help. Thanks very much!

    In most cases the problem is associated with a failure to follow the installation and activation instructions HERE. However, since you have not really described your problem, it is diffucult to know for sure. Suggest you read these instruction and see if they help. If not, then describe the problem in more detail since "cannot get the upgrade to kick in" could refere to anything from failure to press the "Tab" key to failure to enter a name salutation or suffix to purchasing a key for the wrong system.

  • Upgrading to Quicktime Pro

    I bought a registration code from apple.com to upgrade to Quicktime Pro, and even though the system preferences says that I have a registered quicktime pro in my computer, I still can not download videos from Safari and save them to my desktop. I have tried resetting Safari but it didn't work. Any sugestions? Thanks!

    When the file has been completely loaded you can click on the downward pointing arrow at the right end of the controller.

  • XVID Avi's not working once upgraded to Quicktime Pro

    This may be related to the post earlier this week.
    I just upgraded to Quicktime Pro, and now most of my .avi files, which playedback fine before, just give me the white screen with no audio.
    When I check the file format, it says:
    XVID, 624 x 352, Unknown MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    My QT is the following: QuickTime™ Version 7.1.3, Player Version 7.0.1, which I believe is the most up to date version.
    I looked at the solution for the pervious post about this, but if the files worked before, is this a simple codec issue, where I just need to re-aqcuire a codec?
    Thanks any & all,
    dh

    Upgrading to Pro doesn't add or subtract any files from the installed version of QuickTime. It merely activates the Pro features.
    Did you upgrade from version 6 to version 7? That would remove and add files.
    Find and install the XVID codec appropriate for your machine.

  • Windows Quicktime Pro problems - no video screens [under "file"]

    I have downloaded and installed Quicktime Pro and keyed in correct registration codes. [Quicktime 7 Pro is displayed] When in Apple Quicktime Pro- I am unable to see any kind of video screen data under "file" - Audio info is there [New audio recording]- but no video screens of any kind. I thought that maybe Quicktime Pro could not recognize my web camera [Panasonic]
    I have tried: switching firewire cards[3 others] and switched around quicktime preferences ie - Video to Safe mode/Direct X - still no change.
    When I connect camera, Digital Video device on computer acknowledges that there is a camera and gives me 4-5 software choices ie - Adobe, Windows Media Player but Quicktime Pro is not one of them.
    Help ! - Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks

    You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
    From Readers Digest-February, 2005
    How to Complain
          You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
    Have a goal
    If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
    Keep it short
    Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
    Stick with it
    You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
    Skip ultimatums
    Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
    Plead your case
    Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
    Be nice
    You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
    Good luck.

  • When I try to install (upgrade) to Quicktime 7, I get 'unable to uninstall older version, contact your technical support group'.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you 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", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • The hard drive on my Macbook Pro is getting full (mainly due to the size of my iTunes library). Can I store it on my time capsule and if so, how is it done ?

    The hard drive on my Macbook Pro is getting full (mainly due to the size of my iTunes library). Can I store it on my time capsule and if so, how is it done ?

    You can store your iTunes library on a Time Capsule.  So that you can access on your local (home) network (I wouldn't recommend access via the internat), (off site.....to slow).  
    If you do decide to put your libray on Time Capsule I'd recommend doing this.
    Option 1:
    1.  Don't use TC as a Backup (Time Machine).
    2.  Connect a USB drive to your TC or Computer and backup to the  drive. Backup when a change is made to the library (adding Apps, Songs you get the idea). 
    Option 2:  (What Im doing)
    1.   Two Time Capsule's connected via ethernet cable (roaming mode, bridge).
    2.   Use TC1 as a Time Machine backup
    3.   Use TC2 as network drive.  (The information on TC2 does NOT get backed up to TC1).
    3a. Connect a USB, FW, drive to your desktop computer (if you have one) use SilverKeeper to schedule backups.       Silverkeeper will look at TC2 and back it up to a external or internal HD.  I've been doing the or some time now.  Or connect to your TC and do an archive.
    I have this setup because I don't trust Cloud base services and I want access to my files (in Sync) on TC where ever I am, as long as there's a internet connection.  It's expensive, but does exactly what I expect.
    The most important thing is to safe guard your data in case of a failure.
    In your situation it would probably be better to get a high speed SD or thumb drive, however I've never been successful in backing up those type of drives with TM.  What ever you decide to do make sure you have a GOOD duplicate (backup).

  • On my Mac OSX 10.4.11,  having trouble upgrading to Quicktime Pro

    On my Mac OSX 10.4.11, I  upgraded Quicktime 7.6.4 to Quicktime Pro. My problem is, when doing transitions in iMovie, I get the message to check the "enable flash checkbox under the Advanced Tab in Quicktime Preferences" . There is no such option offered under Preferences on my 10.4.11 Mac.

    For iCloud, you need a version of iTunes 10, and 10.4.11 only supports up to 9.2.1.  10.4 offers no iCloud access, while 10.5 and 10.6 have limited access.  Only 10.7 and 10.8 are integrated with iCloud.

  • IChat bandwidth problem after upgrading to Quicktime Pro 7.1

    I just updated Quicktime Pro 7.1 (from 7.0) and applied the Security update to my iMac G5 1.8 GHz.
    My girlfriend and I have been chatting with no problems. She's running an new iMac Dual Core and I have an iMac G5 running 10.3.9. We tried to hook up tonight and kept getting this error:
    2006-05-11 21:41:51 -0400: There is insufficient bandwidth to maintain the conference.
    Detected 48 kbps upstream and 162 kbps downstream bandwidth; 50 kbps required.
    We're both on Cinti Bell's Fuse/Zoomtown ADSL so we have plenty of bandwidth. Set iChat bandwidth to None and st Quicktime to 1.5 Mbps T1/internet/LAN.
    Any ideas why, after a month of no problems chatting, this bandwidth issue has come up? She's running 4.5 (hasn't upgraded and hasn't sone the just rreleased security update)?

    OK - My gal is here for the weekend so it will be next monday evening before we can toubleshoot as I don't know any other place where I can find someone to video chat with for testing purposes. We're using AIM accounts, but like I say, before the upgrade I did it was working fine. I've been through most of the 'usual' from rebuilding permissions, diskwarrior to ensure the disk is OK. Next week I'll trash preferences and such when we troubleshoot.
    I appreciate the response. If I find anything out I'll update this thread.

  • Quick time upgrade to quicktime pro

    i have quicktime 7 and i bought final cut pro hd,it came with quicktime pro and its serial #, and code,im tryng to download or upgrade to qt pro to convert my home movies to put in my ipod, how do i do it

    You can confirm your "Pro" status by opening the QuickTime Preference Pane. Click the "Register" tab and be sure it says QuickTime 7 Pro under your registration serial.
    If the Registration fields are blank you need to re-install FCP. It should automatically update your QT registration. I don't think (like previous version of Final Cut) it ships with a "printed" serial number.

  • How do i upgrade to quicktime pro using lion

    I am using LION operating system. I am trying to upgrade from quicktime to quicktime pro. I have already purchased the software and have my registration number but i can not figure out WHERE to use it? (meaning where do I input the registration number so that I can use the program)?

    When you start QT 7 player, under the first menu there is a "Registration" menu item.
    Enter your name and Registration code, THEN hit the TAB KEY. Do not click the "Buy..." button.
    That should do it.
    Make sure you have the CORRECT version of QT 7:
