Update to 10.6.3 broke Quicktime Pro 7.6.6

After the update Quicktime Pro crashes as fast as it opens, do not understand, help? It does the same on my older iMac and newer Mac Pro. Used the Combo updater, fixed all permissions after the update. My Quicktime pro came with the Final Cut Suite.

Thanks, I tried your suggestion and it still crashes. (you did mean user preferences? because that's the only ones I could find to trash.) There does seem to be a lot more files in preferences. I am at a loss still as to what is causing this. Installed 10.6.3 on 2 macs and both have the same problem, I find it hard to believe I'm the only one with this problem, but I guess that's the way it goes. I used the combo updater.
I use Soundtrack Pro version 1.1 almost everyday, this will make it almost useless. Anyway, thanks for trying Carolyn.

  • Since updating Firefox to 6.0, my Quicktime Pro on Mac OSX 10.6.8 won't allow me to save MP3s, although I can listen to them on the page.

    I recently updated Firefox to 6.0 and it quit allowing me to save any mp3s downloaded to the page, although I can still play them in Firefox.
    For a very brief time, I was able to save them after the update, and I believe it has something to do with bit rate, as I was asked whether I wanted to increase the bit rate. I clicked yes, but didn't take note of whether it was 32, 64 or something else.
    Next time I restarted Firefox, it went back to the original setting and I don't know how to change it. I even purchased another copy of Quicktime to see if that would help, but it didn't.
    I'm also having this problem in Safari, so it's probably a Quicktime fix, rather than Firefox, but if there's anything you can tell me, I'd really appreciate it.
    Apparently, there are third-party Quicktime softwares that will help, but I don't know what they are or what they do. Can you help, please?

    If you upgrade to Lion it comes bundeled with it!
    To get it on your Mac Pro just copy the aplication from the aplication folder on your MacBook.  You can do this via a thumb drive or over a local network connection.

  • Will updating to Snow Leopard come with Quicktime Pro?

    I was just curious.

    No, QuickTime X does not have all the features of QT 7 Pro. The latter is a real swiss army knife, the former is leaner.
    If you have a QT 7 Pro key, you can use QT 7 Pro on Snow Leopard, with its functionality. QT 7 is an optional install on Snow Leopard, but if you use all of its features, you'll probably want it. If you're mostly doing playback, you may not.

  • I cannot enter the key code for updating to QuickTime Pro 7 as there is no Icon in Preferences and no Registration option in menu?

    I have followed the clear instructions to enter the purchased key code for QuickTime Pro 7. There are two options offered:-
    1. Go into Preferences and select the QuickTime Player icon and enter the code that way.
    2. Open QuickTime Player and open up ‘registration’ and enter the key code.
    For whatever reason I have neither option available to me although QuickTime player is on my system and I use it regularly. It is version 10 build (118). I have run software updates and there is no upgrade available. I have downloaded the latest version and tried to load it but this fails because the system finds a version already available. I have attempted to uninstall but whilst it moves it from the Application folder, it remains on the Mac as it is part of the system files. So I cannot use the Pro version. The iMac is a 27” Intel about a year old and has all the software updates available to me installed.
    Any offers for suggestions or past experiences that can help me overcome this conundrum?

    Both answers were spot on. I made the mistake yesterday of downloading the version for Leopard in my haste. I also thought the issue was related to having to uninstall the current version X.
    So the moral of the episode is check the version you have and make certain you download the correct version for your system. All works now.
    Thanks chaps!

  • I can not update Quick Time.  I get the message "a connection with the server could not be established"  I AM connected to the internet.  I have purchased QuickTime pro but can not get it uploaded.  Help.

    I have purchased Quick Time Pro and received my key.  I am told to go to QuickTime settings to update and I do not have Quick Time in my control panel.
    When I bring up QuickTime and click Help to Update I am told that a connection to the server could not be made due to either the server being down or my computer not having an internet connection.  I am connected to the internet so I know that is not the problem.
    How do I update my Quick Time player from 7.7.2 to QuickTime Pro that I have purchased?

    Launch the QuickTime Player and go "Edit > Preferences > Register", as per the following screenshot:
    ... that should get you through to the Register Tab in your QuickTime Control Panel.

  • Warning QT 7.3 update ruins Quicktime Pro features

    Don't install this update, if you own Final Cut Studio 5 and use Quicktime Pro it will ruin your registration. Thanks a lot Apple, way to make my production machine temporarily useless! I'm going to consider buying Premiere before updating to FCP 6 now. I was going to in January, but I'm so disappointed right now you don't even understand. I bet they won't release a fix for this in a timely fashion either.
    Ridiculous!

    The fix : I installed Leopard, and it fixed my Quicktime Pro registration. Horray. I'm glad I wasn't forced to purchase/ upgrade to Final Cut Pro 6 before 2008.
    The oddity : This quicktime pro registration issue only affected 1 of my macs.
    The saving grace : While I was ranting and confused by why compressor kept exporting video @ 320x240 and figuring out that Quicktime Pro had been disabled I was able to export the quicktime videos on the laptop with leopard and Quicktime 7.3 suprisingly. Video was done on time, no biggie.
    I checked at work today and noticed that 4 of our macs (ppc, intel) had the 7.3 update and Tiger and they were not affected.
    Sorry for posting before doing extensive research, I was nervous because I needed the videos exported. My complaining is over, beware ye updaters. I'd avoid the Quicktime 7.3 update.
    Thanks

  • How do I update to quicktime pro?

    How do I update to Quicktime Pro? I have the codes but system preferences screen does not look like what is pictured in the instructions. What did I do wrong?

    Nothing. You need to download the QuickTime 7 player and apply the code there.

  • Updating to quicktime pro

    i just updated to quicktime pro and i'm trying to rotate a video. i've followed the directions (clicking 'window', and 'show movie properties') but I do not see the areas described in the help section with which to rotate the video. i'm not sure my update changed my quicktime version to pro. when i click 'help' and quicktime it shows versions 7.6.2. can anyone help me with this issue?

    Make sure in the Movie Properties windows that you've selected the "Video Track". If you see an item that says "hinted video", that is not the correct item. Then when you've selected the correct video track, click on the Visual Settings tab and you'll find the buttons to rotate the video there.
    Hope this helps.

  • Quicktime pro updated but video options dont show up

    I bought the Pro upgrade, I already had 7.0.3 player, installed the license key in control panel and it appears to have been accepted, since it says Quicktime Pro in the control panel.
    When I launch player, In help about "Buy Quicktime Pro" is greyed out, so it appears the upgrade key worked
    BUT
    there are no choices for making new video recording ?
    When I chack for updates it says the Update server is not available?

    Sorry.
    Video recording is only a feature of the Mac version of QuickTime Pro.
    Others have reported issues with the Software Update feature and it occurs on some Mac's as well.
    Maybe the next update will fix the "auto-update" feature.

  • Will I lose my quicktime pro if i update QT player??

    I have an EyeTV (el Gato, the coolest tv system) on my old G4 and just a minute ago, I updated it. Found out there's a wi-fi capability that can upload my recorded tv shows to my iphone (via the internet). So I enabled it but it prompted me to upgrade to the latest QUICKTIME Player.
    I have QuickTime 7 Pro and I want to update the "Quicktime Player" and here is my question: If I update the player to 7.4, will it override my QuickTime 7 Pro thereby losing it forever? I haven't used this Pro (or the player, I don't even know if this is a stand alone app. The player just pops when i click on a movie so i can't tell. I think it's one and the same, oh but...) forever and I can't really remember how to use the Pro features already. But I know that it's still there because it's registered and I have the code in my System PReferences and I want to keep it, in case .
    Thanks in advance for taking time to respond. I really really appreciate your response asap. I can't wait to see my recorded shows on my iphone.

    I have QuickTime 7 Pro and I want to update the "Quicktime Player" and here is my question: If I update the player to 7.4, will it override my QuickTime 7 Pro thereby losing it forever?
    No. Any QuickTime 7 Pro key is good for all versions of QuickTime 7 on the same platform, and the only difference between QuickTime Player and QuickTime Pro is whether a valid key has been entered.

  • So now I own Quicktime Pro, I can never update Quicktime?

    I decided to buy Quicktime Pro last month. Then this morning I am notified that a Quicktime update was available. As I begin installing it I am warned that I will lose Quicktime Pro should I proceed and will have to purchase it again!
    WHAT!? This is ridiculous. After PAYING for Quicktime Pro I am now unable to update Quicktime without losing Quicktime Pro. Please tell me I have this wrong.
    Is this how paying customers are treated? I would never use pirate software, but things like this almost makes you understand why some people do.
      Windows XP Pro  

    In the installation warning it says:
    "IMPORTANT NOTICE TO QUICKTIME PRO USERS:
    INSTALLATION OF QUICKTIME 7 WILL DISABLE THE QUICKTIME PRO FUNCTIONALITY IN PRIOR VERSIONS OF QUICKTIME. IF YOU PROCEED WITH THIS INSTALLATION, YOU MUST PURCHASE A NEW QUICKTIME 7 PRO KEY TO REGAIN QUICKTIME PRO FUNCTIONALITY. AFTER INSTALLATION, VISIT www.apple.com/quicktime TO PURCHASE A QUICKTIME 7 PRO KEY."
    If I update Quicktime, surely that makes whatever I had before a 'prior version' of Quicktime. I have Quicktime 7.1.6. If I update to Quicktime 7.2, in my understanding of English, anything below 7.2 then becomes a 'prior version'.
    I was going to try email someone at Apple for clarification, but they make it impossible to find anyone to email on their site.
    Thanks for the reply Dick Napoli, but can I get a 2nd and 3rd opinion as to what will happen to my Quicktime Pro if I upgrade? I really don't want to waste my money.

  • Quicktime Pro Update not posible !?!?!?!?! (sorry german language)

    Im folgenden möchte ich auf Missstände in der Apple Update-Politik hinweisen.
    Ich arbeite in einer Studioumgebung mit der Software Digidesign ProTools LE 7.0.
    Die Software läuft mit der Digidesign Hardware Digi002 auf einem Titanium PowerBook G4 1GHz.
    Am 21.08.2004 habe ich für dieses System (damals unter OSX Panther) ein Update auf Quicktime Pro 6.0 gekauft. Damit habe ich eine Registrierungsnummer erhalten, durch die sich Quicktime Pro auf OSX Panther freischalten ließ.
    Im Dezember 2005 habe ich das System auf OSX Tiger upgedatet um die aktuelle ProTools Software nutzen zu können.
    Nach dem Update auf OSX Tiger konnte ich meine Quicktime Pro Registrierungsnummer nicht mehr verwenden um Quicktime Pro 7.0 frei zu schalten.
    Darauf hin habe ich telefonisch mit dem Apple-Support Kontakt aufgenommen.
    Der Support konnte mir nur zwei nicht zufriedenstellende Lösungen anbieten:
    -Quicktime Pro 7.0 neu zu erwerben
    -ein Downgrade auf Quicktime 6.0
    Da jedoch Digidesign für einen reibungslosen Betrieb der ProTools Version 7.0 auf OSX Tiger mit Quicktime 7.0 besteht, bin gezwungen Quicktime Pro 7.0 zu erwerben und damit erneut die vollen Kosten (ein Update von Quicktime Pro 6.0 auf Quicktime Pro 7.0 wird nicht angeboten) für eine Quicktime Pro Lizenz zu tragen.
    Diese Vorgaben von Apple empfinde ich als völlig ungerechtfertigt und unzulässig, da ich damit zwei mal für ein Produkt (welches ich weiter verwende) bezahlen muß und ich beim Kauf von OSX Tiger nicht auf diese Umstände hingewiesen wurde.

    although I don't speak or understand German, I think i might know what you are asking...
    you had Quicktime Pro 6, it was valid, registered, worked great....
    you upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7. but now its no longer registered and you dont have your Pro capabilities.
    Its well documented from Apple Quicktime site that if you upgrade to QT7 you will need to buy a new Registration. Yep apple forcing you to shell out another $30 US for a code.
    I complained to Apple about it as I had QT6.5.2 Pro and worked great and when I upgraded to QT7 I lost my Pro capabilities... part of Apple's claim, QT7 Pro is different enough and better than the older QT6.

  • Quicktime Wont Update...   I upgraded to Pro, but it's still the old QT

    I just recently upgraded to Quicktime Pro, however my player doesnt look any different. Some of the Toolbar options are now available, but it just doesnt look right.
    For example, when I open Quicktime, it appears as if the screen has not reloaded since last fall. There are ads for The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and King Kong (in the theatres. And the font is really grainy.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    I also use iTunes, and I didnt want to unistall Quicktime and reload it for fear I may lose some of what I have save on iTunes.
    Thanks for your help,

    If the words Pro have been removed from some menu items you've got Pro.
    The QuickTime Player Content Guide (a preference under General/Other) requires an Internet connection. Click on one and the Content Guide will probably "refresh".

  • Update to Quicktime Pro not working

    Just bought the Quicktime Pro license key from the Apple Store. When I input my name and the key and click "Apply", a label states "QuickTime 7 Pro". However, this information seems not to persist: After closing the registration window and re-opening the same window later, it states "Buy Quicktime Pro...". All the menus still contain the "Pro" label and I am unable to save any movie.
    I uninstalled Quicktime and re-installed it with a fresh download from the Apple site. To no avail.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

    My user account belongs to the local Administrators group. Nevertheless, I tried to use the function "Run as Administrator" function to make sure, Vista really runs Quicktime with all privileges. Did not work.
    For the second time, I uninstalled the software, then I deleted manually the folder C:\program files\ (since QT Uninstall leaves tons of files there - no wonder I can't get past the problem).
    I rebooted the system and downloaded the setup files again. Ran the installer "as administrator". Ran Quicktime Pro as Administrator. It still doesn't remember the Pro functions after having unlocked that functionality using the key obtained from Apple.
    At this level, I have to give up. I spent two afternoons on this and I need to get things done. It's probably not a QT Pro problem and I might need to restage my computer in the future (I upgraded XP Pro to Vista Ultimate - instead of doing a fresh installation). However, since QT Pro is so far the only software giving me a headache, I am not really feeling the urge to re-install the operating system.
    Maybe an upcoming QT release will fix the problem...

  • Update OSX 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2 Quicktime will not work anymore

    After updating to osx 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2, Quicktime crashes everytimee it is opened. Safari crashes when any page containing a quicktime movie is open and system preferences crashes when trying to access the quicktime preferences.
    The only time Quicktime has worked is when I booted in Safeboot. I previously had quicktime pro and the crash logs seem to indicate a crash when trying to license quicktime. I have trashed all preferences related to quicktime, run disk utility and applejack. removed all 3rd party extensions and statup items, and tried to delete the registration number for quicktime but it kept resetting itself to automatic. No avail.
    Other programs I have installed on this computer are Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, and Kona2, and ajaIO.
    Any suggestions on getting quicktime to run again.

    hi chica chic--
    what kind of install did you do? did you archive, or erase and install? was the screen problem there the second time before you did the update?? i would run the apple hardware test to see what it says. you can do this by putting in your install dvd for tiger and starting up holding the d key. take the full test instead of quick test. i would also try resetting the pmu on your macbook pro. this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 describes the procedure and gives some info about it. best of luck.
