Why do I need to update Quicktime time player to download iTunes?

I just had a new hard drive installed on my iMac.  I used a my latest time machine back up to restore the hard drive.  Now when I try to open iTunes I get a message that I need to update Quicktime player.  My iMac is a 24" early 2008 running Leopard. 

I understand that I need Quicktime Player, I don't understand what happened after restoring from time machine.  Everything else showed up fine except for iTunes.  Hopefully all my music is not lost.

    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.
    Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979  - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

  • I am told I need to update Flashplayer.  I have downloaded the update 5 times and installed it successfully on FireFox but Safari still says I need to update.  I have gone so far as to restart before re-opening Safari.  What am I not doing?

    Enable plug-ins.

        Is the box next to "Enable plug-ins"  checked?

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

    You have no choice but to restore the phone.
    However, I'm sure you've been smart enough to have backed up your data before starting the most significant update in iOS history,right?

  • My car stereo, an Alpine CDE-121, won't recognize my iPod mini.  I get an Error 02 message indicating that I need to update the iPod's software, but iTunes tells me that the software is updated.

    Is this particular car stereo stated as being compatible with your iPod Mini?  If you aren't sure, check the manufacturer's support site or give the car stereo manufacturer a call.

  • When I try and update my flash player, it downloads as a .mdlp file.  How do I fix this?

    When I try and update my flash player, it downloads as a .mdlp file.  How do I fix this?

    Apologies for the slightly pedantic answer, but in application terms, "closed" and "quit" are two different things. An application such as Safari can have several windows open, and each of them can be closed using the red button in the corner.
    However, even after all windows are closed, the application is still running until you specifically quit it. You can tell it's still running by the small light under its icon in the Dock. If you hold your cursor down on the icon for a few seconds, you should see a pop up menu with the "Quit" option - click that to quit it. Or, click the icon once (this may launch a new window), then either go to the Safari menu and click Quit, or click cmd-Q, to completely quit the app.

  • Why won't my newly updated QuickTime 7.5 work?

    I have Windows XP Pro and have just updated Windows, after the first QuickTime download failed. I have downloaded QuickTime 7.5 and iTunes (several times now, but QuickTime is not working, however, iTunes is working). I have removed QuickTime and re-downloaded, several times now, and the video player still will not work. I am downloading from the Apple site. For awhile an errors window came up saying QuickTime was unavailable to me.
    Please help.

    Premiere Pro shut down...I didn't have a lot of time to try and work on this today but I did poke around trying to find the preferences and set about to pull up the event log before having to leave. I figured I would give it a look tonight...I opened some of the hidden files trying to find the preferences didn't have much luck...was about to figure out how to pull the event log (never done that before) when I happened to click on an old project file I had from my older version...and the program opened...even better it stayed open.
    To my knowledge I did nothing at all other than look in some hidden folders. I have tried a couple of different times now to just open the program from the start menu and it works...now my firewire port is on the blink so I haven't had a chance to actually try the bugger out but I have verified that all seems stable...for now.
    Thanks for the input...if I wind up having the trouble again I'll start with your suggestions but hopefully it won't come to that.

  • Why does an internet video site tell me I need to update my flash player when it is already updated?

    Hello.
    Have been watching some videos on some popular streaming websites like MegaVideo and I am getting a message saying this:
    "You need a newer Flash player version to use this player. Please click here and update your Flash player to the latest version or open the following link manually:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/"
    However I am updated my flash players to the lastest version. I even went to the about page to see that it actually updated. I even can see the spinning F.
    I have tried everything else I can think of. Please help.
    Browser: Firefox 9.01 (NOTE: I think my Flash Player was working before I updated to Firefox 9)
    Computer: 64-Bbit
    Anything either info I need to let you guys know?
    EDIT: Even tried it on IE9 and still get the same message.

    Opps. Sorry about that. Windows 7 64-Bit. And its only any on site that has Megavideo streamed, everywhere else works fine like youtube and such. When I get home from work I will see about taking a screenshot of the video and message. Was going to do that but forgot.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Why do I need this update?? I don't understand what you are offering

    I'm afraid that this system will be too complex for my limited ability on computers. All I want is to be able to get my mail without too much difficulty and find my desk top unchanged.,

    QuickTime Player 7 was released in April, 2005 and if you purchased a Pro upgrade it is still valid today.
    Updating QuickTime Player will not remove your Pro upgrade.

  • Why do I need to update via the app store?

    And am I being charged for it? Why, since I have no intention of buying anything off of iTunes, did I have to enter a credit card number to be able to download my updates? Why weren't they just in my updater?
    Just bought the mac mini-server with Lion, and I am a little wary of this.
    Thanks,

  • Why does flash need to update so often?

    I'll be honest, I havent actually recorded the dates/frequencies of the update alerts, but it feels like almost once a week I am being told to update my flash player. This is especially inconvenient because I have to quit out of my browser and sometimes other applications just to get it to install. It's really annoying that this update is put out so often...is the program really that unstable? im on mac osx yosemite using the most recent version of firefox, 34.0.5. Any insight is appreciated.

    Flash Player ships on a monthly basis, and with additional out-of-cycle releases if we become aware of a security issue being exploited in the wild.
    Both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher include Flash Player a built-in component of the browser, which means that updates are delivered directly through the Chrome updater and Windows Update respectively.  If updating is a burden, moving to one of these browsers will provide you with a more seamless experience.

  • Why do apple need to use my credit number when downloading free apps ?

    im about to download a free app - as i have done many times before
    and now itunes needs my creditcard info to be correct .. why ? its supposed to be free ?
    well i filled the forms with a correct credit card number (my mastercard) and still no result - itunes tells med i should enter a valid payment method
    it seems i cant download freee apps when theres not any money on my bank account ? well well ..
    can someone tell me why ?

    Apple wants you to risk your number out on the internet maybe, they don't care about customers. They state that it is for validation of your account, but this make no sense as you already have entered a username and password, which seems to work fine on any other site. They basically want your wallet to be held hostage, even for updating already installed apps (this should make you think). This is bad in my book, and I think Apple should change this action ASAP. It is not right and they know it, but greed seems to be the game for them I guess.  You should not have to risk your credit card number being transmitted across the internet just to update or install a free app. Android market place does not do things this way.
