Quicktime player help......MAC.

[planetx]

Upgraded to Snow Leopard a few weeks back, and Quicktime X was "doing my tits in" so I dragged it to the trash, subsequently uninstalling it.

When I want to watch movies, either via VLC or Flip4Mac my macbook is asking for Quicktime needing to be installed!!!

So I have tried to reinstall Quicktime 7 from the Apple website (don't think you can download X as a stand alone yet) and I get a warning message telling me a "newer version of Quicktime player is already installed".

My problem is that I now need Quicktime , but unable to install older or newer versions and can't! because there must be some legacy of QUicktime player X from when I tried to remove it,....aaaarrggghhhhh it is making me go Grey!!!!

Before you tell me to uninstall Snow Leopard and reinstall.......I can't because it is 200 miles away at work,and I am now home for three weeks.

many thanks

Perhaps try deleting any QT plist files in the library>preferences?

Warning. I'm only guessing, this may break your Mac.

You're not too far from me, I think Steve, if all else fails ?

Try trashing preferences first

Just checked, and nothing with QT in there!

Pretty much what munson said.

Under places, click your home, then libary, then preferences, then delete quicktime things
