I have bought the registration key and entered it into Quicktime 7. It seems to have accepted it because the icon changed to Pro and it has Quicktime 7 Pro at the bottom instead of 'Buy Quicktime Pro...'
But... when I go to 'Save As' it is greyed out and leads me to a link to 'Buy Now' but on the US store. I bought my update from the UK store as this is the country I live in and from where my Mac was purchased. Maybe this has something to do with it? I followed a UK store web link to download version 7 before updating.
All I want to do is convert a normal midi so that I can open it in Garageband. The Apple helpline is closed
Have made several attempts to both upgrade and remove/reinstall Quicktime from my Windows XP installation to latest version and always get the same varient of this message Usually the path it is trying for install is C:Documents and SettingsTom GardnerApplication DataAppleApple Software Update The path it tried for uninstall was something like (from memory, did not write down)C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataAppleInstaller Cache My XP is up to date with all the latest uSoft changes and lots of drive space.
I have Administrator rights. All of the folders the installer or the uninstaller are trying to access are there and I can access them as can all my other applications and installers. I did re-register my VB (which is up to date)So I did a search for QuickTime on my root drive and found copies all over the place including at 5 copies of the download packages. I moved one to a folder on my desktop and tried the installation that way. It seemed to work up to this point I've pushed the OK button pointing to the location of the installer package for about 30 minutes with no progress and when I canceled I got a "The older version of QuickTime cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group." message.
during SW to my mini-mac wireless key board the keyboard stop responding. now i have left without an ability to work with my wireless keyboard. is there any why to reset the keyboard to default setting so it will come to live again..
But then when I access a download site and run the download, I get a text edit mess and not a download of software. How can I get a Quicktime update so that I can use iTunes (the whole program is stopped)
Info: MacBook (13-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.5.8)
I just reinstalled my operating system, and I'm in the process of migrating files from my external drive back to my internal.I'm trying to use iTunes, but it keeps telling me I need QuickTime v7.5.5 or later, and the version I currently have (with no software updates available) is 7.2.1.How can I get the later version of QT so I can continue to use iTunes? I haven't encountered this problem before so I'm not sure how to get around it.
I have MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.3. My .mov files from several years ago will not open and will not play using Quicktime or any other player. They worked 1 year ago, but just tried them today and they all say "The movie could not be opened. This file is not a movie file." I have not touched them for a year so they haven't changed.
I have movies that I would like to watch but quicktime will not play them all Iam getting black screen I dl Xvid still not working.All my movies seem to play well on windows but nothing on mac.
Problem: after a crash (occurered while whatching a wmv sequence in Safari with Flip4Mac), I uninstalled Flip4Mac. Since then, no way to watch an mpg sequence through Quicktime in Safari - either I get the Quicktime logo with a question mark or Safari crashes.
I tried: reinstalling combo 10.4.8, Safari 2.0.4, Quicktime 7.1.5, creating a new user - no change. I therefor think that there must be some "bad" files somewhere in the system, I checked the safari and finder crash logs.
I purchased QuickTime 7 Pro for my Windows XP computer (product number is D3381Z/A, I still have the order number, etc.).My XP computer died and I have upgraded to Windows 7 and QuickTime 7 Pro is not accepting my registration code. How can I activate the Pro features?
I have read 10 - 20 topics about this problem and have found NO solution. First problem: Quicktime Plugin.plugin was missing.Solution: Using Pacifist I extracted the Quicktime Plugin.plugin and installed it to hd/library/internet plug-insResult: Still not working
Quicktime version: 10.0
Safari version: 5.1.2
I am very frustrated about this problem, their seems to be no solution and I have no idea what to do,
I switched from PC to iMac last week . I am very excited by the performance of Mac OSX and display of the new 21.5" iMac. The only problem I face is that quicktime movies are not played in safari/firefox. Safari waits indefinitely for loading the quicktime movie , firefox shows a big 'Q ?'. Don't know what that means.
This frustrating because I can't view any of the tutorial movies in the apple website. It is ironic that apple's own format is not playing on the new iMac.
The OS is Mac OSX 10.6.2 . Flash is playing well in the same machine. I am new to mac .
im new to this forum,but i really, really need help.My Mac finally dissapointed me...It has slowed a lot,lots,and i mean LOTS of spinning wheels,finder bugs up from time to time,and restarts.iTunes wont start.QuickTime wont start.Toast 10 wont start.Photo Booth wont start (also can;t take pictures with skitch,but skitch works. Safari works,but bugs from time to time,and exits...i rarely get "send to apple" window...
well...thats all for now,but i think there are more apps that dont work,i just didnt try them...it is really hard to use my mac,and it is pissing me off...i wanted to format the disk,but i dont have an external to backup my stuff,so i need a temporary solution before i do that
I bought macbook pro 13 inch 2.4 base model, i found that media keys (f7 f8 f9) only work with front row and not working with iTune or QuickTime, how to make them work?
also they work as a function keys when i press fn+Key , so i think it is not hardware problem.
It appears that the function keys to control iTunes/Quicktime (FF, Play/Pause, and RW) are not working. At one point they did but now it doesn't. All the other function keys are functioning just fine and dandy. I have the "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" unchecked in the preferences. I looked around and there doesn't seem to be any setting that would explain the sudden malfunctioning of the keys. Is there something I may have missed?
I mistakenly installed microsoft office 2004 (Upgrade edition), which requires office 2001 for it to work, onto my computer before discovering it wasn't the actual package. I then removed it (or thought I did) so I could install Microsoft Office 2004. When I try to open any of the office applications I'm told that I need to locate microsoft office 2001 because it thinks it is still the upgrade
I have an iMac with 1.6 PowerPC G5 and am running OSX 10.5.7. I just received a notice to upgrade OSX and did so. Now I have lost my wireless keyboard, and when I put my mouse on the header of the desktop to open anything all I get is the dreaded beach ball. I can't open my airport, bluetooth, volume control or anything on the desktop header. I tried to go through System Preferences (which I could open) but when I try to open bluetooth there all I get is the beachball and have to force quit.
I tried searching for 2 hours here and on google but nobody seems to experience exactly the same problem as me.
I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I got the problem alot of other people has been having: The screensaver kicked in during the installation. But I read about this after I turned off the computer by holding the power button which means I must have turned it off while it was installing. Booted again and nothing on the screen. I got the chime but the screen was completely black(the flashlight trick didn't work, so the screen was totally off).
However it managed to finish the install after I turned on the computer again with the SL disc in the drive and giving it some time. It rebooted by itself and booted, this time with the screen on.
It booted up perfectly into 10.6 and I was happy. I thought I might just as well upgrade to 10.6.1 while I was at it, so I opened Software Update, downloaded the update and went ahead. I didn't reboot before doing this so this was done almost straight after it booted up in 10.6 the first time.
As far as I remember the screen changed to the 'starry sky' background while preparing to install and reboot.But now I'm stuck: I'm back to where the computer boots with only the chime. I can hear that the fans, hard drive and disc drive works. More or less everything else but the screen turns on.I've tried the flashlight trick again with no luck.I tried turning it off, taking out the battery and holding the power button for 10 seconds.I tried resetting PRAM by holding option, command, r and p when turning the computer on. I tried holding down shift while booting.I tried holding down C while booting with the SL disc in the drive.
Nothing worked!
Right now when I turn it on it seems like it boots into OS X(the keyboard light turns on). Then it turns itself off after 5 minutes, then wakes again 5 minutes after that... And just continuing this cycle.
Iphoto is not working. When I open it, it says it is upgrading, but only goes to 99% on step five. Do you know how i can fix this and save my photos? It also doesn't let me click into anything on that window, not even at the bar at the top of the screen, so i have to go into another window and force quit it. Then it does the same thing over again. I tried restarting my computer and shutting it down, but it did not work.

I just upgraded to Mavericks and get the following message in network diagnostics: Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.82.167 and will not be able to connect to the Internet.don't understand whether this is the IP address of the computer or my router or what and why it is a problem. I have two wifi networks in the house and cannot connect to either one. One is on an airport. The other is on a comcast modem, router. They both yield the same message.

For some reason, my assigned key, F6, does not activate Spaces anymore. I've been messing with it for a while now, but it will not work. I have 10.6.1 installed, and I'm using a late 2007 2.2 GHz C2D SR MacBook. Here are my settings in Preferences:
I recently upgraded from a G5 dual 2.0 (OS 10.4.11) to a new mac mini (OS 10.6.2). I have a website that I maintain after getting a pro to set it up for me many years ago. Basically, I would change the text and images as needed using Simpletext. Yes, doing everything in Classic. Now, I recently made some changes using Textedit, saving as an html. I uploaded using Fetch (5.5) and the page displays only the html and not a web page. I tried doing the same thing in MS Word with the same result.
I am here today looking for guidance with my ibook. I recently updated the software from 10.3 to 10.4. The wireless was working fine on 10.3. Then when I upgraded it it just stopped working. Now it says there is no airport card installed. I need to fix it because I need it for school!
I've noticed some more people have problems with their Wifi connection after upgrading, but since I'm experiencing some other difficulties as well, I've placed this in a new discussion."About this Mac" says that my iMac is running 10.7.4. I did however see a failure notice when I returned to my Mac that was doing the upgrade. Apparently something went wrong. So after restarting Mac these things happened:
1. No wifi connection. There are no networks to select from, even though another mac ( a mini) has no problems and connects like before).
2. Mail won't start.
3. iCal won't start.
4. None of the system preference panels load (e.g. General, Network, Users and accounts, etc).
I've hooked up my Mac to an airport express by cable which gives me internet access.For now I'll be installing the 10.7.4 Combo Update as suggested in another discussion, to see if this will fix things. For now, not ammused.

I've a Macrbook Pro running Mavericks. My printer is an HP C6180. Prior to upgrading to Mavericks from Lion, I had no issues printing wirelessly. I upgraded to Mavericks and I'm unable to print to the printer through wireless. If I connect the printer to the Macbook via USB it works fine. I connected it through USB and ran Software Update. An update for the HP driver was found and installed. I'm still unable to print wirelessly. Both Macbook Pro and printer are on the same wireless network. Nothing has changed with the wireless network. The only thing new is the upgrade to Mavericks from Lion.
I found a similar post Unable to Connect to Printer HP Photosmart C6180 which indicated deleting the /Library/Printers/hp folder, restarting, and then reinstalling the the drivers using software update worked. I did that as well with no luck.
When I try to add the printer it's just not in the list of printers available.
I tried to upgrade the snow leopard from 10.6.0 to 10.6.8 for the good last weekend. I downloaded the upgrade file form apple. But always after downloading it says can not verify the file as the disk image is corrupted.
I've recently upgraded to Lion and have found that Quicktime movies and embedded Flash movies won't work. With the embedded flash all I get is a black box, and with quicktime movies, such as the ones on the Apple website, I get nothing - the irony of not being able to watch movies on the Apple site with my Apple iMac gives me a little chuckle. Anyways ....... I've been reading thread after thread and trying lots of different things but nothing works. I've got this feeling inside that says it's something simple but just can't seem to find it.
