Uninstall quicktime pro and re-install
I have a problem with FCP quitting "unexpectedly" every time I try to export a H264 file, regardless of the original timeline codec.
I downloaded a program which analyzes the error logs and IT thinks it is QuickTime that is causing the "quits"
So my goal here is to remove quicktime and re-install.
Is there a way to do this short of reinstalling FCP completely?
Quicktime is not likely to be the problem, regardless of your IT wonks' opinions.
But if you're dead set on the attempt, try google for starters. This is hopelessly out of date but might help:
Reinstalling Quicktime

Another possible culprit of your Final Cut Pro problems could be an issue with QuickTime, which is a major component to the workings of Final Cut Pro. One problem could stem from a bad installation (update) of QuickTime. Another reason to re-install QuickTime is if the current version is not compatible with the version of Final Cut Pro you are running and if you need to install an earlier version of QuickTime. The instructions next cover both scenarios.
1. Before installing the same (or older) version of QuickTime on your computer, you will want to delete certain receipt files first. This Apple article covers which files to delete: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
2. Then navigate to your user Home directory > Library > Preferences.
3. Delete these QuickTime preference files:
com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist
QuickTime Preferences
4. Repair permissions on your main hard drive.
5. Install QuickTime from Software Update or by downloading it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html . For an older version of QuickTime, go to http://www.apple.com/support/ and do a search for the particular version you are looking for.
6. After the install and subsequent computer restart, repair permissions again.

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-

I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have. Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording? If so, how? Step by step needed. Thank you for your time.
Did you remove Quicktime X?
On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above. -
I bought QuickTime Pro, and have QuickTime 7.1. I have already registered QuickTime Pro, but when I try to use it, my computer just says I have QT 7.1 installed. I can't use and of the features of QTP. I followed the installation directions, but I must be missing a step because my computer has no clue that I own QTP! (Also, when I try to Export a video, it says that I need to install QuickTime Pro, which I've already installed...)
Have you attempted to re-enter your registration information? Or does it not allow you to do this?
Secondly, have you tried uninstalling Quicktime, then reinstalling it via the Control Panel or QuickTime Start Menu Group? -
Quicktime Pro and WIndows Vista
Hi.
I just bought Quicktime Pro, and was looking for ways to upgrade my quicktime. I tried to follow the online instructions.
Except that the Online instructions don't work for Windows Vista, because the instructions are set for XP. I know this because there is no Quicktime Control Panel in my computer's Control Panel. Unless I'm doing something wrong, which I might be.
However, the issue is driving me up the wall and I'd really appreciate some help in getting to actually input the registration code SOMEWHERE.
Thank you.QuickTime 7 Pro is activated by downloading the QuickTime 7 software from the Apple website. What you actually paid for is the registration to unlock the Pro features within QuickTime. What you should do is:
1) download the latest version of QuickTime 7 and install in on your machine.
2) there should be an icon in the Control Panel for both Vista + XP called "QuickTime" (if u don't see it, switch the Control Panel to Classic View located on the left hand tasks
- OR -
Open QuickTime 7 directly and click *Edit > Preferences > Register*
3) enter your necessary registration info then click OK/Apply
When it has updated, you can choose to update the software from *Help > Update Existing Software*

I have purchased Quicktime Pro and entered the registration code. It indicates at it has been installed, but it does not run. Any suggestions?
The trim to selection function is available and it appears to be working. For now, I seem to be operable as Pro even though the header doesn't say so. Thanks.

i just bought quicktime pro and can't get it to show up in my system preferences. Any ideas?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
QuickTime only appears on System Preferences if you are running Mac OS X Leopard, and you have OS X Mountain Lion.
In Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer, QuickTime Player 7 isn't included, so you have to install it before getting QuickTime 7 Pro > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3678
After installing QuickTime Player 7, you have to activate it in order to get QuickTime 7 Pro. In that link, follow the steps under "Information for QuickTime 7 Pro users" -
Quicktime pro and windows media formats
hi !
im using win xp pro and have installed quicktime pro to convert my videofiles for my new ipod
that works fine for .avi-, and .mov-files but not for .wmv or m.peg movies
what plugins do i need to play/convert these types of files too ?
thanks for feedback !
KurtQuickTime can't even be used to open WMP formats without third party software help. On a Mac we use http://flip4mac.com and pay extra money for the feature.
As I stated above, QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed formats so you must start with a third party application. MPEG Streamclip works for Windows and OS X and is free. -
I have recently bought quicktime pro and the installation instructions tell me to go to utilities then to quicktime pro icon. But I don't have a quicktime icon at all in my utilities. Help?

firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result. Why do I have no sound. Computer plays I-tunes and all other sounds, just no web browser sounds.
Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems. -

How do I uninstall snow leopard and re-install OSX leopard?
How do I uninstall snow leopard and re-install OSX leopard?
Sorry to hear that, Snow Leopard runs as fast or faster than either Tiger and Leopard did on my Jan 2006 Early Intel iMac on 2GB of RAM?
Before you blame Snow Leopard, run the Extended Apple Hardware Test and check the SMART status of your Hard Drive to make sure that you do not have another problem.

I have been using a free trial of Photoshop cc and my computer crashed. Now it says up to date, but the program is not installed anymore. How can I re install it? I already uninstalled creative cloud and re installed it, but the same issue occurs.
Hi dmomoney24 ,
Kindly refer : CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.
Please revert if the problem persists.
Thanks,

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?
after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days
