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.

    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 updating to Snow Leopard delete my files & prefrences

    I just ordered the family pack. And was concerned about losing data while updating to snow leopard. What are general precautions before making such a giant change to my iMac?

    I just ordered the family pack. And was concerned about losing data while updating to snow leopard. What are general precautions before making such a giant change to my iMac?
    As a general rule it is a very good idea to have a full backup before doing a major upgrade, such as moving to Snow Leopard.
    Assuming you have an external disk, SuperDuper (free version) or Carbon Copy Cloner would be very good choices to make that special pre-upgrade backup.
    Historicall, you get 3 (and a half) installation options (on Friday we will know for sure), but they have been in the past
    a) Upgrade in place, which replaces the operating system and leaves all applications and personal files alone.
    b) Archive and Install, which moves the current OS into a saved folder, installs the new OS from scratch, but keeps all your personal files and a few global system preferences, such as your network settings.
    c) Clean install, which erases the disk and creates a new clean file system. All your data is removed. Unless you have a backup, you will of course loose your data.
    c and a half) Typically used for transferring your data from an older Mac to a new Mac. This allows you to attached your old Mac to the new Mac via Firewire and put the old Mac into Target mode, then the new Mac during system setup, copies over your old system settings, applications, and personal data.
    This "c and a half" mode as I'm calling it, can also be used with an external disk containing a backup of your system.
    I would only use this "c and a half" if something happened that causes you to loose your original data, and you were then using the backup.
    It is always possible that Snow Leopard will have additional installation options, and we will find out Friday.

  • Will updating from Snow Leopard to Lion mess with Garageband 09?

    Hey guys, I just bought some software that requires OS X 10.7.5 so I need to update my Macbook pro if I want to be able to use it.. I just fear something happening to Garageband. Does anyone know if it'll mess with anything? I'd prefer not having to update to '11.

    Your previous 10.6 based software may not work in 10.7 because Rosetta was discontinued in 10.7
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    My advice, given the way your talking shows your age, is not to do anything, just software update and remain on 10.6.8.
    maintain your backups, because if you jump to 10.7 your going to have issues and software you have installed is not going to work and your going to want to go back to 10.6
    I've written a guide, but I don't think you can follow it.
    How to revert your Mac to Snow Leopard
     Most commonly used backup methods explained
    10.8 is coming out very soon, so wait for that and get it (or 10.9) on a new machine next time.
    Your a very basic comptuer user, upgrading the operating system is a sudden drastic change and many problems can arrise which you won't know how to fix, you'll have to pay someone to fix them.
    So why do that and have to buy all new software?
    Apple makes it seem it's easy to upgrade the OS, but when software no longer works they don't care.

  • Does Snow Leopard come with a word processor?

    Tiger came with Appleworks. As far as I can tell, the only word processor that came with my new Mac is TextEdit. Was I gipped? Was something not installed on my computer that should have been? Or do I just have to buy Iwork?

    Whilst not a high end word processor, TextEdit has more abilities than many people realize, or have spent time exploring.
    It really has some great features.

  • I am unable to install Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro

    Hi
    I am unable to update to Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro. I have 2 GB of RAM. When I boot from the install disc I get an error message that this OS cannot be installed on this machine. Sorry, I don't have the error verbatim.
    Am I missing something in the system requirements?
    Is there another OS I need to install prior to installing SL?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Not impossible, but not likely, either.
    I don't know why people keep telling me that what I saw couldn't have happened or is very unlikely. Whatever.
    There are not many third party applications that can interfere with this, although maybe there are a few hacks & system 'enhancers' that could.
    Little Snitch is not something that most people would call a "hack", and lots of people use it. I meant to quit it, and any other third-party background processes, but forgot. Shortly after I started the Snow Leopard installation, I _saw it block a connection attempt_ by the installer. I allowed the connection, but nonetheless something went wrong. When everything completed and my machine restarted, I still had 10.5.8... absolutely nothing had changed. (I'm not complaining about the "nothing changed" part... I could have ended up with a destroyed system and I didn't.)
    I rebooted from the SL disk, repeated the installation and everything went fine.
    Moral of the story? Do your system installs in the most controlled environment possible, which means rebooting from the disk.

  • Need Help...my wireless airport express will not work with my update of snow leopard

    after installing snow leopard on my macbook pro my airport express will not work...or will connect only for a minute at a time.

    If you mean by "airport express" the square airport router you plug in and has a usb port then run the Airport Utility located in your Utilities folder to set it up again. If AU doesn't see it you may need to do a re-set of the AE.

  • I recently updated to snow leopard version 10.6.3 and quicktime isn't working.  What do I need to do?

    I recently updated to snow leopard version 10.6.3 and quicktime player isn't working.  What do I need to do to get it working again?  I have quicktime player version 10.0.

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
    A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.

  • I have a older MacBook I upgraded memory two 3 gb from its original two but it still will not let me update from snow leopard to maverick I have plenty of available ram does anyone know why

    I believe it is running an older version of maverick it is 10.6.8 but it will not let me update any further . I added 3gb of ram to upgrade from the original 2gb it came with but still no updates are being allowed Does anyone have any idea why this is ? I am sure the criteria for the upgrade is available so I don't know why I can not up date it?

    10.6.8 is Snow Leopard.
    Run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:

  • Help with update to snow leopard

    hi can someone please help,
    I have a macbook on version 10.5.8, with 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. i need an update which which allow me to download the new itunes. if i purchase 10.6 snow leopard will this work? thanks

    1) Make sure your computer meets Snow Leopard technical specifications - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575  This mostly means making sure it is an Intel Mac (yours is) and has at least 1GB RAM (at least 2 GB is recommended).  Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  To check RAM continue to "More Info...".  It should say you have at least 1GB of "memory".
    2) Apple no longer carries 10.6 in its stores or online. Telephone Apple to purchase a Snow Leopard disc. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
    Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but anticipate paying much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple
    3) Backing up your computer before upgrading is always a good idea.
    4) After installing from the DVD, update your Snow Leopard installation using Software Update or manually downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v.1.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    You can now run iTunes 10.7

    I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
    It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

  • About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.).

    About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.).  First, is this true?  Second, how have others addressed this lost (i.e. other software programs)?  The cheaper the software package the better with FREE being the ideal.

    If you install Snow Leopard, make sure during the install to open the Optional install items. You must turn Rosetta on, which is not installed by default (necessary to run older PowerPC apps such as Office 2004). If you miss the installation of Rosetta, it can still be installed after the fact a couple of ways.
