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.

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.

I am buying a new macbookpro which comes with Lion. Lion has Quicktime X. Logic Studio comes with Quicktime Pro 7. Do I have to download Quicktime 7, or will Logic Studio work fine with the Quicktime X player? Will there be a Quicktime Pro X soon?

your new lion-machine should have quicktime 7, too. if it doesn't, and if it doesn't show up after you migrated your stuff from you old machine you can always reinstall it from the logic dvd's, it's part of logic. my recommendation is to always use quicktime 7, since it's got many features that are absent in quicktime x. quicktime x is nothing but a polished video player. in quicktime 7 (pro, comes with logic) you can even do edits and paste your music onto video files. i use it all the time, especially since logic 64bit doesn't export to video anymore.

Will I lose my saved data if I update sync account ?

I was about linking a new device when I noticied that I wasn't able to login with my "old" account, It seems that I have to create a new one.
There was a link to how to update to the new Firefox Account [1]
But it says that I have to unlink all my devices.
If I do so, will I lose my data ?
Thanks

As long as the information that you are wanting to keep is on one of the devices you will be fine. It takes things like passwords that you have told Firefox to save and browser history, bookmarks, things like that. Once you make your account and tell it what to sync it will pull all of that information and store it on a "cloud". Any device you then connect to that account will then be updated with all that you told it to share and the reverse is also true. So no information will be destroyed. I hope this helps.

Will I lose my iBooks data if I update to IOS 7 over the air

Last time I updated I lost all my iBooks and other date, including pdf files and had to recover from my iMac.
I'm many miles from my computer. Will I lose them again or is it safe to update?

If anyone is interested, I bit the bullet and upgraded and all my books and documents remained.
Hallelujah.

Quicktime pro/Snow leopard

I am planning to do a complete erase and reinstall of my computer to Snow Leopard which currently is running Tiger. My question is, will I lose my Quicktime pro if i do this?

The key you purchased is kept on file at Apple. So even if you lost the email you received which contained your key after completing the purchase, you can still retrieve it.
Click on the Store link at the top of the page. Near the top right, click on Account. Click on Downloadable software purchases. Enter your Apple ID and password, which should be the same ones you use to login into these discussions. Your key will be listed.

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.

How does this quicktime pro thing work?

i bought final cut hd about a year and a half ago and recently had to reinstall it. When i pulled out the disk , I noticed that not only did the final cut hd come with a serial number, but i had a serial number for quicktime pro, which was on the same package as the final cut. There was no disk for quicktime pro. And i never installed quicktime pro. What did i miss? Was i supposed to go online and download it using that serial number? Is it too late now to get a quicktime pro that works with quicktime 6.5.2?

Quicktime in itself is Quicktime Pro. But, the pro part is locked until you enter the serial number that came with Final Cut. Sorry to say Apple no longer supports Quicktime 6.5.2. Meaning if you don't have Quicktime 6.5.2 or are able to get it from a CD (or someone you know). You will need the buy Quicktime Pro from Apple.
You didn't supply the OS your running. That will determine what Quicktime if you can run Quicktime 6.5.2............

Installed 10.4.3 and lost QuickTime Pro

Hope this hasn't already been asked...
I recently upgraded to Tiger and it caused me to lose my QuickTime Pro features. I have my Key and Part Number from my online purchase. Any way I can reinstate my purchasing of Pro without buying it again?
Thanks.

If you have a key for QuickTime Pro 6, then you'll need to purchase a new key for Tiger. Only QuickTime Pro 7 works with Tiger.

Quicktime Pro 7.6.5 for Windows - Chapter Tracks problem - Preloading?

Hi there,
I have Quicktime Pro 7.6.5 (which is the latest I believe) for Windows and I'm trying to add a chapter track. I'm using Apples tutorial at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials… and I'm up to step 10. In my Other Settings tab under chapters all I have for options is "none" (see? http://i50.tinypic.com/30958wk.jpg) which means there is no properties popup and I can't make it preload.
Please help? As I'm on Windows I can't use Garageband or whatever, the only programs I have is the CyberLink DVD suite, Windows Movie Maker (for Vista if that matters) and some form of muvee, though I dunno which one.. I also have Showbiz 2 on a disc somewhere.
Thanks
(PS: to get this straight, it will work on a DVD right? If I put a chapter track on then burn to DVD when I put the DVD in my player the chapter track will come up?)

QuickTime Pro does not play .wmv files. It doesn't export them without some other third party software.
Try reading the steps and supported file formats before your complain about what it does, or doesn't, do.

QuickTime Pro won't play video clip

I downloaded a video that plays fine in windows media player, but will not play in QuickTime Pro 7.1.3. It only plays a black screen with no sound.

The Apple Pro Res codec is installed along with Final Cut Studio 2.
The FCS 2 license allows you to:
"install on one desktop and one laptop Apple computer that you own. You may not use the software on both at the same time".
You don't even need to do that anymore. Apple recently released a standalone ProRes decoder for Mac and PC:

Quicktime pro editing vs iMovie HD editing....?

I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade to Quicktime Pro.
It seems like the only advantage is full screen mode and capturing clips on the internet. Both of which aren't necessary features for me.
Editing movies and slideshows are listed as features but why would I use quicktime pro if I already have iMovie? Is it better? different? I'm confused...
I use iMovie all the time to edit home movies - would there be any benefit to getting Quicktime Pro?

iMovie is a digital video editing app. If you add a still image to 10 seconds of audio it becomes 300 "copies" (30 fps) of the file.
QuickTime Pro allows you to keep the total file size much lower by using just the data from your source image file (say 30KB's) as it doesn't convert your single image into a "time" like video.
Some examples of my videos made with QuickTime Pro:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/California/index.html
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
Both of these examples have a total file size lower than the original audio source file.
QuickTime Pro can also create "custom" player windows:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/3woodencrosses/index.html
(hit the escape key while viewing to exit full screen mode)
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/MTV
(text and Flash and MIDI music. Under 150KB's).
It can also use custom video effects that do not render as "video" which also keeps the total file size very small:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/RedneckTexasXmas/index.html
It can use up to 99 "tracks" per movie which allows you to interchange them depending on your audience without having to create a new iMovie "video". As easy as enabling or disabling a track with a mouse click.
You can add text tracks (again, no video rendering) that are very small in file size and are also vector based so they scale in size without distortion:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/Lemon_Trees/index.html
All of my "movies" are made using QuickTime Pro.
Try it. You'll also find it very useful for converting files to other formats.

I need to upgrade my Macbook Pro from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. Will I lose any files on my drive if I do that?

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.4.11. I am trying to upgrade from that to Snow Leopard then to 10.7.5. I know that I have to do it in steps. My question ins this. I have a Snow Leopard disk that came with my Imac that I can use to upgrade my laptop. When I go through the process, it says something about using Timeline to restore. Am I going to lose all of my files? All I need is for the OS to be updated. Will it be safe to go through with it or will I lose all of my files on the drive. Any answers to this question are much appreciated.

You can't use the Mac OS X disc that came with another computer to upgrade another Mac because it's not supported. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You shouldn't lose data, but you must make a backup before

I would like to convert an animated Gif to .mov, will Quicktime Pro 7 do this? Should I spend the money?

Hi everyone.
I'm looking to put a few animations onto keynote and I'm making my presentation on PowerPoint.
I need to convert an animated gif into a .mov file and was wondering whether Quicktime Pro 7 does this?
Thanks

I need to convert an animated gif into a .mov file and was wondering whether Quicktime Pro 7 does this?
Since it appears QTKirk has provided the best answer for your specific work flow issue as stated, I will answer your more general question...
Yes, QT 7 Pro can open an animated GIF file and save it as an MOV file. At this time the real question is whether or not the MOV file produced is suitable for your needs. Basically the MOV file can be then then be played—but it only plays one pass in the normal playback mode. You can, of course opt to loop the playback which, for a small files, plays much as the original GIF.
Unfortunately, the "Loop" setting is not saved when the MOV file is saved, so this option must be re-initialized each time the MOV file is opened. This would not be a problem if all you are doing is openening the file in the QT 7 player and letting it play in the looped mode all day as some sort of display but would likely be an unsatisfoactory solution for sending the MOV file to someone else. You could, of course, turn the MOV file into a QTL file with the loop option set to get around this problem.
While I would be hard pressed to say it would be a good investment just for the creation of GIF movie files, QT 7 Pro does offer a lot of other features that make it a bargain utility for many quick edit requirements if you use/need them.

Will Quicktime Pro convert/compress .dv files to Quicktime?

I have .dv movies that are taking up so much space on my hard-drive. I purchased Quicktime Pro to compress those files so they will take up less space. I don't see in the tutorial how to do this. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can see how to do this? Thanks!

Of course.

This is impossible to do until you define what you mean by "QuickTime."
Basically, a "QuickTime" (MOV) file is any form of dat that can be placed in an MOV file container -- not a compression format in and of itself. Therefore, your first step is to determine what you really want to do here. For instance, a DV (.dv) stream file normally consists of an audio DV compressed track along with a video DV compressed track. DV(25) files normally contain audio and video tracks having a data rate on the order of 28.5 Mbps each (or about a 57 Mbps total average data rate). As you indicated, these do make for rather large files. You could, of course, reduce the total data rate by nearly half if you merge the original video track with AIFF (linear PCM) converted audio (or even smaller if you use an AAC audio track). The catch here is that QT Pro does not have a DV "pass thorough" video option which allows you to simply convert the audio while retaining the original DV video. So unless you are willing to manually convert the audio track and then manually replace the original Audio track with your converted audio, you would normally have to convert both audio and video to another compression format.
In this latter case, you could select any valid codec supported by QT as augmented by installed components. Typical possibilities would be AIC/AIFF, unlimited H.264/AAC, Motion-JPEG/AIFF Photo-JPEG/AIFF, supported MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC profiles with limited data rates. These compression options are all compatible with iMovie '08 editing and represent a full range of possible data rates (which in turn determine your final file size). For instance, an AIC/AIFF file would normally end up with a total data rate on the order of 20-22 Mbps with an unlimited H.264/AAC about 16-18 Mbps, M-JPEG 10 Mbps, Photo-JPEG 8-9 Mbps, and MPEG4/AAC or H.264 as low as you can stand the loss in quality and still retain a video track.
These various compression formats basically represent a compromise between file size and quality with the quoted data rates being typical for SD content with an "average" quality setting. While actual data rates are always dependent on the actual file converted, the stated averages should provide some idea as to what you could expect in comparison to your original source file -- i.e., the AIC/AIFF file would be expected to be about 62-65% the size of your DV file, unlimited H.264/AAC 28-31%, M-JPEG/AIFF 17-18%, Photo-JPEG 14-15%, and MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC in the 3-5% range with "reasonable" quality levels.
Since each codec has somewhat different characteristics and user options, I will not go into specifics for each here. What I would recommend at this point is for you to select a short file with typical content and convert it wising the various codecs and determine what compromise in file size and quality you can live with at the display size you plan to use. This in turn will likely depend to some extent on what you plan to do with the final file. For the archiving of files for later use/editin, you like want files to retain as much quality as possible which, in turn, usually implies large file sizes. On the other hand, distribution files can be much more highly compressed as a "finished" product which you don't intend to re-compress or edit further. Remember, when you compress a file more compact format you are literally "throwing away" data so you should be most judicious in selecting that appropriate format to which to compress your files for the saving of file space.

Will QuickTime Pro "Re-compress"?

I have lots of movies made in iMovie that I "shared" as CD quality QuickTime. I would like to compress a few of them even more so that I can email them and place a few on my web page. I know I could go back to iMovie and compress them in the "Share" menu, but I don't have the iMovie of many of the projects. I do have the CD quality Quicktime, however. So, before I purchase QuickTime Pro, can anyone enlighten me if it will allow me to open a CD quality QuickTime and write it out again with more compression?
intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7) LOVE my intel Mac

QT will compress almost any file type it can open, so you would be able to re-compress "CD Quality" to a smaller files by choosing other compressors, reducing the frame sizes, lowering the frame rates, or choosing a lower datarate. All these compression options will reduce the video quality when you re-compress a compresed video so you will have to experiment a bit to find settigs that result in an acceptable quality loss.

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