According to the accompanying Apple information the answer is no. However Apple do say if you also want to play other older QuickTime movie files then you will need QuickTime.
The conclusion is that if your only using music, or your only using movies purchased via the iTunes Store then it seems you no longer need QuickTime installed in Windows with iTunes 10.5.

  • Detect and install quick time with lingo

    When I import a quick time movie into Director presentation - it needs QuickTime to be installed on every computer to run properly
    Is there any setting which may make these kind of movies run on any computer without QuickTime?
    Is there a Lingo script which may solve it?
    Otherwise is there any Lingo code to check for the presence of QuickTime and then react accordingly if the user doesn't have it installed ? (probably display a screen that offers to install QuickTime or quit the movie)
    any idea?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Is there any setting which may make these kind of movies run on any computer without QuickTime?
    No - if you want to display QuickTime movies (or use #quickTimeMedia members in Director) the playback machine must have QuickTime installed on it.
    Otherwise is there any Lingo code to check for the presence of QuickTime and then react accordingly if the user doesn't have it installed ?
    There is the QuickTimeVersion() command (which you would have discovered if you had checked the Help file):
    on prepareMovie
      if QuickTimeVersion() < 7.0 then
        _player.alert("You need to install QuickTime - please re-start this program when the installer finishes")
        -- assuming the installer is in the same folder as the current movie/projector
        _player.open(_movie.path & "QuickTimeInstaller.exe")
        _player.quit()
      end if
    end

  • Itunes will not play movies... To play this movie install quick time

    I downloaded itunes on a new computer and it won't play movies.  It keeps giving me the error "This movie requires Quick Time which is not included in this version of itunes.  To play this movie install quick time."  I've installed Quick Time, uninstalled it, installed it again, tried a change and repair trick that I read about but nothing has worked...please anybody help.

    Okay ... that's left the field a bit open.
    Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
    Quit iTunes first.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    Open the "Program files" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
    Try playing the movie now. Does it play for you without the message?

    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 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.)

  • Can't install Quick Time (VBScript error)

    I recently got a new computer and I have a kodak digital camera that also records small videos. I installed the kodak software and I tried to play a video it told me I needed to install Quick Time, so I tried to download it and when it was finished downloading I got the following message. "ITunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script in not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript and then install ITunes"
    Could someone help me, I have no clue how to fix the problem.
    Thanks,

  • I am not able to install quick time after i deleted it accidentaly

    I am not able to install quick time, after when i deleted it accidentaly. Actually it was installing but i am not able to see the icon in applications

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful it won't install normally.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Installing Quick Time Pro on Windows 7

    I have purchased QT Pro and received instructions by email to download. When I click on the link ' http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/keyinstall.html ' I find myself on 'Apple Support QuickTime' with no means of starting the registration or download. Help!!

    Make sure you're entering in both the user name and key code exactly as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to error.
    If you continue to have problems, or for future questions, I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.

  • Rotate movie feature not showing up after installing quick time pro key

    I installed Quick Time 7 Player for Windows and then entered my Quick Time 7 Pro registration code. When I open a movie, recorded on a Sony Cyber Shot camera, movie editing features are not showing up. I need to rotate my movies 90 degrees and that was the sole purpose of purchasing the pro addition.
    After reading through pages of on-line support resourses and endless calls for technical support (and receiving none), I am still unable to figure out what's going on. Any ideas? Thank you for your help and insights in advance.

    Sounds like you are trying to edit muxed mpeg files, the editing of which QT PRO does not support. It also will not export the sound from such files. If they are mpeg-1 you can use Mpeg StreamClip to edit or export them. If they are mpeg-2 you would first need to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent. With that component installed mpegstreamclip will also edit mpeg2 files.

  • Cannot install Quick time 7 on Windows

    hi everyone. I am having a hard time installaing quick time version 7 on my windows XP SP2.
    Installer kicks off and after 5 seconds, I get messange "another process is running. terminate" or something like that. I am not running any other processes. I even went through MSCONFIG and checked off all third party processes but get the same result.
    I could install Quick time version 6.1. without issues though. Because I cannot install quick time, I cannot install iTunes. I cannot use iPod without the iTunes!!! Can somebody please help me out here?
    I tried the latest version 7.6 and also tried 7.2 but nothing works. only 6.1 could be installed on my PC.

    For what it's worth, at the point the installation fails, Bonjour, Apple Application Support, and Apple Mobile Device Support all show as installed on Control Panel. Apple Software Update has a link on the Start Menu but does NOT show as installed on Control Panel. Is there a way to install this separately from iTunes?

  • Can not "fully install" Quick Time on Windows Media Edition

    My HP Pavillion 8000, operating on Windows Media Center, came preloaded with i tunes and Quick Time. I was initially able to use ArcSoft's multimedia e-mail program (also preloaded) and the SAVE AS feature of this program and save e-mails in Quick Time's (.mov) format (the other option is to save in the (.exe) format, which is NOT deliverable by hotmail - another sad story...)After a while, without me doing anything specific, this feature QUIT WORKING. Every time I try to save as "Quick Time (.mov) format" I get an error message stating: "you must first fully install Quick Time before you are able to perform this action". I thought upgrating to Pro might solve this problem, it did not, total waste of money. I uninstalled and reinstalled both Quick Time and Arc Soft's Multimedia e-mail, no luck. I cleaned out my registry (based on advise in this forum), and re-installed, no luck. Any suggestions? If not for the specific problem, any other good multimedia e-mail package that can save in formats deliverable by hotmail?

    Thank you very much Jacumba, but I have managed to get it installed now, I do not know what really happened but all is well now..  Thank you again for taking the time to want to help me out.  Have great day!
