Uninstall Quicktime 7.1.3 - How to remove quicktime 7.1.3 Here's how

If you need to uninstall quicktime 7.1.3 heres how.
1. Drag the quicktime icon from your apps folder to the trash
2. Download and run the 7.01 re-installer
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/quicktime701reinstaller.html
Thats it.
The problem I had with it is this. Before the upgrade Finalcut would export to Ipod format at 320x240. After the upgrade it exported at full size 640x480 with no option to change it. I dont have time to figure it out in the middle of a project.

I had the same problem with QT 7.13 (Crashing Safari no Screensaver etc) I ended up removing ALL QT files visible and invisible and then reinstalling the version of QT on my system install disks by using Pacifist then running the archived upgrade to QT 7.1.2 which I had luckily archived when I had originally upgraded

Quicktime Error Message/Can`t uninstall Quicktime

After the last update all **** has broken loose nothing is working have looked all over at the forms for soultions have seen were i should uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime I`ve uninstalled my iTunes and now trying to uninstall the Quicktime so I can start all over and keep getting this error message when ask if I want to repair some files
Error writing to file:C\Program Files\QTSystem\QuickTime.qts. Verify that you have access to that directory
How do I verify that I have access...??? So I can finish uninstalling this mess and get thing running again...

Did you mistype the the path? It should be c:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTsytem\Quicktime.qts.
If you typed it correctly, that's odd.
Assuming you mistyped it, try running a disk check to make sure there isn't a filing system error.
Open My computer and right click on your c: drive, select Properties>>tools>>error checking. Check both the boxes.
The check starts on the next reboot and can take a while.
Download the version of QUicktime that does NOT include iTunes from here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Close all other programs.
Then try manually uninstalling Quicktime using the method here:

If that goes though OK, Restart your PC and install the stand alone Quicktime.

How do I uninstall Quicktime 7?

Wow, Quicktime 7 is terrible, and it unregistered my QT6 Pro key. How do I uninstall Quicktime 7 and go back to QT6?

What you CAN do is to get a copy of the Quicktime Player.app file from QuickTime 6.5 (ONLY THE APP FILE, NOT ANY OF THE FRAMEWORKS!) and install that on your machine. Be sure to give it a unique name (such as "Quicktime Player 6.app"). You can open the prefs on that and enable the pro features in QuickTime 6, but not in QuickTime 7, using your QT-6 registration code. QT-6 will then be running on the QT-7 framework. It does seem to work in Tiger; I don't have Leopard to test it with, but thanks to some BUGS! in QT-7, this is the configuration I have to use for a CATV video playback channel application I am working on.
Thanks to Quicktime Kirk for pointing out that this is possible. Sorry, you're on your own to find a working copy of the QuickTime 6.5.3 app. Note that you need ONLY the application package; everything else on your system should remain QT-7.

How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?

Hi,
How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?
I've got a new computer and I want to uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on the new system. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but a bunch of other applications have easy 'uninstall' functions right in the application toolbar. Why doesn't Quicktime?????
Thanks.

I've read that Q/T is not just a simple application but in reality, a major component of the OS. This is where it varies from other similar acting apps like WMV, AVI, FLV etc. To butress this statement, in a vague way, I remember seeing a graphic of the Mac OS when Apple was first pushing "X". QuickTime was in the same general area of depth in programming as UNIX.
So, you might not want to delete all of QuickTime just the Reg Key which should/could/might put you back to the non Q/T Pro functionality and thence legal to install on another machine.
Just be certain that the version on the new machine is the same as on the old machine or expect to buy a new $30 key.
Cheers-
Mark

How do I uninstall quicktime so it stops reverting to an older version?

How do I uninstall quicktime so it stops reverting to an older version despite having chosen to download 7.5.5?
I seem to be in a vortex!!

What exactly is happening? I'm not understanding your description of the problem but going purely on your mentioning Quicktime and seeing you are running Leopard I suspect you re-installed your operating system and the answer is:
QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. One person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.

Click here and follow the instructions. If they don't work, go to the Mac App Store home page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

How do you uninstall Quicktime?

I would LOVE to uninstall Quicktime. I got my hands on version 7.0.3 and I want to install it but I can't because my iMac won't let me.
If this was Windows, all you'd have to do is click on the Uninstall icon that comes with every program and baddabingbaddaboom we're back on track.
I'm just trying to get audio to work with Quicktime again. I got the same problem everyone else has. Solutions fond here aren't working... yet.

You can't. QT is intergraded throughout the system & many apps (Apple) depend on it.
However, you can do an Archive & Install & use Software Update to update to QT 7.0.2. Then use the 7.0.3 full installer.
IMPORTANT: Maker sure you select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I?

Can't upgrade iTunes... can't uninstall QuickTime

Help!!
I've missed a couple of upgrades to iTunes, waiting to investigate the problem - error 1322, a portion of the path exceeds the maximum length allowed by the system.
Now I think I've isolated it. If I try and uninstall Quicktime (version 7.1) I get the same problem.
So I think uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime will help. But how do I do that - I can't get past the error.
Any experienced insights will be welcomed!
Thank you
Windows XP

I just solved a similar problem by using "Windows Install Clean Up" to completely remove my old version of Quicktime. Be very careful using this program, since it removes programs from the Window's registry. You can download it from Microsoft's web site.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Be sure to carefully read all the instructions on the webpage before using the program.
Run the "Windows Install Clean Up" program.
Select Quicktime and remove it. Don't select anything else!
After this, try updating iTunes. I hope it works for you.

Uninstalling Quicktime from my Mac

Hi,
I've tried to uninstall quicktime 7.2 from my mac by removing the application and any related files I could find. But when I now try to install quicktime 7.1.6, the installer tells me 7.2 is still installed and it won't install.
How can I remove all vestiges of 7.2 so that the 7.1.6 installer will work?
What's the general way to uninstall software from a mac?

Hi,
Thanks for your response. In the "Install bundled software" on my disk it doesn't include quicktime. So I don't really know what you mean.

Cant uninstall QuickTime X

Trying to update to QuickTime 7, but it gives me an error saying QuickTime X is present and should be removed first. When I go to the System Preferences, QuickTime does not show. I deleted it from the Applications folder, but obviously that wasn't good enough. I'm still getting the same error.
How do I delete QuickTime if I can't see it to install?
I'm running Mac OS X Ver 10.6.3 on a MacBook.
Any help is appreciated.

Do not attempt to uninstall Quicktime, it is an integral part of the operating system.
The version you need of Quicktime Player 7 for Snow Leopard is not available for download.
QuickTime Player 7 is in your Applications/Utilities folder (if you've got it installed). If not you can install it from the Snow Leopard DVD (Optional Installs).

Need to uninstall QuickTime 7.1

I need to uninstall QuickTime 7.1 and roll back to QuickTime 7.0.1. How can I manually uninstall QuickTime? What do I need to delete / remove from my system?
I have a software product called 3D Java that currently doesn't work with QuickTime 7.1. I have talked with the vendor to resolve the issue, but they told me to roll back to QuickTime 7.0.1 or upgrade to Tiger because of the issues with their product and the newer version of QuickTime. They also told me that they are trying to get Apple to create a reinstall to a prior version of QuickTime.
Thanks!

It is a little frustrating to see Apple pumping out software updates like a pez dispenser - everything from Security Updates - to bits and pieces of their iLife Suite - and all the rest of it - while not integrating an uninstaller or reinstaller on their QT release. But I'd assume one is forthcoming.
It is one thing to have a new version of Quicktime that negates the functionality of third-party software until such time as those vendors release new versions - I get that - happens every time. It's something else altogether to release a QT version that seems to be disrupting some of the core functionalites of QT and also giving people (esp. intel folks) a rash of other headaches.

Completely uninstall Quicktime Pro 7 for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

I am trying to uninstall my Quicktime Pro 7 registration, and to not ever see it again in control panel (classic view).
Unfortunately, there is a visible registrationcode shown for Quicktime Pro 7(somehow, it simply detected that I had Final Cut Pro installed at one point and automatically registered).
I cannot figure out how delete Quicktime Pro, via the control panel and registry, and make it go away. Please advise.

thanks ... I see now from your other post that you're probably getting either a "missing QuickTime.msi" message or being told that a "newer version of QuickTime" is installed when you try to go ahead and uninstall QuickTime after you're told about the Key?
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have 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 iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(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.)

I cannot uninstall QuickTime because of a "Fatal error during installation."

I want to un-install itunes. Following the iTunes support guideline, I first removed iTunes. I then clicked on REMOVE Quicktime in the Control Panel.
I received the message "Please wait while windows configures Quicktime".
I then received the error message "Fatal error during installation" - OK.
How can I now remove Quicktime and follow on through the Support route of the remaining iTunes elements?

DEPs for iTunes and a fatal error when trying to uninstall QuickTime.
I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms, including the uninstall errors.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Can't fully uninstall Quicktime

I'm trying to fully uninstall Quicktime, and I get a message that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". I've tried defragmenting my hard drive. How can I remove the various files that are preventing uninstallation?

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
That's usually caused by a damaged QuickTime.msi
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appear in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries, and click "Remove". Quit out of CleanUp.
Next we'll clear away the leftover program files and folders. Their locations vary depending on whether you've got a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vista.
*32-bit Vista*
Restart the PC.
Open Local Disk C: or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
Open the "Program Files" folder.
Right-click the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select Delete.
Go back into Local Disk C: or whichever drive your Operating System files are installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
Right-click on the QuickTime file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Right-click on the QuickTimeVR file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
*64-bit Vista*
Restart the PC.
Open Local Disk C: or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Right-click the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select Delete.
Go back into Local Disk C: or whichever drive your Operating System files are installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "sysWOW64" folder.
Right-click on the QuickTime file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Right-click on the QuickTimeVR file (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
You should now be QuickTime-free.
