Why can't I revert to Quicktime 7.2

I'd like to go back to Quicktime 7.2 but when I try to install it on my system drive it tells me the system drive is incompatible. Is it because I'm running Leopard?

Since Leopard comes with QT 7.3 (as far as I know) I think it's not possible to downgrade to 7.2.
Hope this helps.

Why can't I put Itunes(quicktime 7) on my notebook

I put Itunes(plus quicktime7) on my PC but my PC doesn't have a 2.0 port(1.1). When I tried to put it on my notebook(wireless), I lost a previous version of quicktime and Itunes doesn't load. My notebook has a 2.0 port for recharging. I can't even put an earlier version of quicktime on it. I get a message with rundll32 and web shell. Any ideas? thnaks
gateway Windows XP

Installing QuickTime 7 will replace previous installations, so losing an earlier version is just expected behavior. In the QuickTime FAQ, Aple says "QuickTime 7 will replace QuickTime 6 upon installation."
So far as to why iTunes won't run on your laptop, though, I can't help.

Why Can't I Export to Quicktime from Garageband?

Has anyone else experienced this or would know how to fix it...
I created a .mov file from Keynote and brought it into Garageband as a Video Track to sync the music to the Keynote presentation. Now I'm ready to Export to Quicktime from Garageband. When I choose the Export command from the 'Share' menu in Garageband, it runs through two dialog boxes - first "Creating Mixdown" and then "Converting..." - after the second dialog box disappears no Quicktime file is created.
I have tried several things to remedy this, but have had no luck - such as updating to Garageband 3.0.1, running Disk Utility, restarting the computer. I also made sure to check the Preferences in Garageband before exporting.
Can anyone tell me how I can get it to export?
Also, the final Garageband file size is approximately 180MB and the presentation runs approximately 8 minutes. The final file will need to be 'full quality', as it will be shown from a projector at a meeting.
Mac OS X (10.3.9) Keynote v3.0.0; Garageband v3.0.1; Dual 1GHz G4; 1.5GB SDRAM

Which export did you use?
Try going into prefs->export, enable the export to disk option.
Than in the Share menu choose export to disk.
Then do a search on the name of your song (in the Finder) and see if it shows up.

Why can't I export using Quicktime Pro to m4v without it being "protected"?

I have .dv files and want to convert to m4v files but when I upload them to my website they have "(protected)" after the file name and do not allow me to view them online. This happens from any format to the "iPod" (m4v) export. When I try to view them using Safari, the page fills with lots of symbols and Safari gets overwhelmed and crashes.
I've gone into "info" and can't find anything that seems to protect the file.
Any ideas on what's going wrong and what to do?
Thanks.

I've never gotten a "protected" file when exporting to the iPod .m4v extension.
Only those purchased from the iTunes Music Store have any DRM protection. If you had some purchased music in your .dv file the export would also be protected. Normally protected files don't even allow export.
If your file is being displayed as text in a browser window it means you've failed to use the proper html code to call the QuickTime plug-in.

You may ned to use the qtsrc tag to "force" the QT plug-in be used for playback. Many servers are not configured to use the relatively new .m4v extension.

HT204382 Why can't I get my QuickTime player to work?

I'm having a horrific time accesing both my QuickTime Player and my PowerPoint Icon that I use to have access to. Nothing seems to work and I couldn't even give a presentation the other day. It was absolutely embarrising to show up to a business meeting and not be able to use my MACBook Pro. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all of your help.

You're probably using IE11. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser, at least until Microsoft gets their act together and fixes IE..
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Why can't Lightroom 5 recognize Quicktime ProRes 4444 videos on a Mac?

When I import Quicktime ProRes 4444 videos into Lightroom 5.3, it reports "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this video. You will not be able to make adjustments to the video."
Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Audition all recognize Quicktime ProRes 4444... so why not Lightroom?
-Pete

Hi,
it seems that you do not know how to use Lightroom in all functionalities and how to integrate it in video workflows.
There are some good reasons to use Lightroom with video files, altough there are more for the work with pictures of course.
However, you are right, this is the wrong audience for this question.
Thanks anyway.

Why can't I download Itunes/quicktime????

Why Can't I Update My QuickTime ?

I have OSX 10.4.8 installed on my eMac and also on a bootable FireWire HD.
On my eMac is QT 7.1.3 and on the FW HD it is QT 7.0.3.
When I use Software Update there is no mention of QT.
I downloaded QT 7.1.6 from the Apple Website but that only works with OSX 10.4.9, which I don't want to upgrade to.
There used to be a lot of "older" QT downloads available but I could not find any.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Ian.

Hi Ian,
By not updating to 10.4.9 (for whatever reasons you have) your system requirements no longer meet the minimum for QT. They may soon no longer meet the requirements for other software as well.
Here are some older downloads, it was my first hit on Google. But if your system is running well and there are no issues, why not do a backup to your external drive and get it up to speed with your internal, or a fresh clone?

Why can't Apple figure out Keynote to QuickTime???

User problems with QuickTime exporting from Keynote are legion (just look at these discussion forums). Why can't Apple (makers of both Keynote and QuickTime) master this task?
I want a QuickTime video of a self-running presentation. I have audio narration on each slide via .WAV files. My animation timings are set perfectly to match the narration. My transitions are set to advance at the appropriate time in the narration. When I view the show, everything works PERFECTLY. Narration is intact, animations are perfectly timed, slides automatically advance at exactly the right time. Now all I need is a video of my presentation in QuickTime. No problem, I'll use Keynote's handy Export to QuickTime tool.
Then things get ugly. I export to QuickTime and it all falls apart. The timing is off. Long pauses between my slide transitions. Bah. All I want is a QuickTime version of exactly what I see when I play the slideshow - but that's not what I get. Incredibly frustrating. I was hoping they'd fix this in Keynote '09. Alas, not so.
Step it up, Apple. Please!

This is truly unbelievable. I have used apple equipment since the Apple II. Quicktime and keynote are key apple software. Why can't apple figure this out. I am a college professor recording audio with keynote presentations. Keynote operates very well. Never a problem. Why can't I export to quicktime without trouble? Why do we need to work around this? The quicktime export produces a video track and a movie track, but no audio track. You can check this in the properties after export. It doesn't matter what export settings I choose. Always a movie without an audio track. I am a simple college professor trying to get lecture movies on the course management system. If the audio is recorded on keynote, which it is, why can't quicktime pick it up and add it to the movie? This problem has been around for years through several versions of quicktime and keynote. Is this an Apple culture where the keynote people don't talk to the quicktime people? Either keynote should record in a format that quicktime can use or quicktime should be able to read the keynote audio and add it to the movie. How can this be education friendly if a college professor can't export his recorded keynote presentations to quicktime? I don't want a work around that takes me extra time. My time is precious and my students need access very soon after the lecture. This should be at the top of a fix-it list in the apple education group.

I can not open itunes without quicktime 7.5.5 why ?

i can not open itunes without quicktime 7.5.5 why ?

You don't provide us with much background infomation such as operating system version you are using, but usually when I see this kind of question it gets answered by:
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. I recently helped where the 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.
Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979 - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

Using QuickTime Pro with an .mpg movie, why can I only get it to play from the beginning, but not from any other point in the video?

Using QuickTime Pro with an .mpg movie, why can I only get it to play from the beginning, but not from any other point in the video? How can I fix this?
Baffled in SB

What format of MPG is this? Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video? How was the video created?

HT3775 why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

Why can't Quicktime Pro demux MPEG1 files?

After buying QuickTime Pro I discovered that I couldn't convert muxed MPEG1 files without losing the audio. I understand that QTP simply doesn't have that capability and now use MPEG Streamclip to demux the audio then I can import the video and demuxed audio file into iMovie and export it from there.
But why can't QTP demux it itself, to begin with? I don't see how a simple freeware app can do it but QTP, which isn't free, can't. I probably wouldn't have bought QTP if they spelled out clearly on the pages about Quicktime that it couldn't do this, just like how they point out the extra MPEG2 plugin you may need.
I don't regret purchasing QTP; I'm just disappointed that I didn't get everything I thought I was paying for, and that I have to take extra steps to convert old video clips.

Mike, it can't edit or convert Real, WMV and a lot of AVI's using some codecs as well. I think it would be a fair question if they ever represented that it could which they don't - in fact they say it will not export audio with muxed MEPG 1 , and 2 files.
It edits "editable" video while MPEG is a delivery format that is not that great to edit even if it is decent enough quality (since there are not actual frames each 1/30th of a second to edit for starters).
MPEG Streamclip is best looked at as not better than QT Pro but an adjunct to help do some file conversions (and with the latest version a LOT of file conversions) to a QT format that you could then use in QT pro to edit, add tracks to and so on. Or to DV for Life/FCE for editing more complex jobs.
This complaint or observation is often heard for iMovie and Final Cut as well and Apple says the same thing, don't use MPEG as source video for these editors - they are not MPEG editors and were not sold as such.
