ILGAZ I would suggest reading macupdate about new apple updates but sticking with "software update" control panel (check for updates) until this snow leopard dust settles down.

That is what will I do with the 2 snow leopard installed macs at this house, at least until I figure what is the position of Quicktime X (framework?application?) like core system parts. Will be a bit waste of bandwidth of course but it seems as only solution. Snow Leopard as it has "pure 64bit" has some special needs like that especially for deep level frameworks like quicktime and itunes (which has dev. drivers).

JSH My Snow Leopard install has Quicktime Player 7.6.3. Do I update this one to 7.6.4 even though it's not Leopard now?

ILGAZ If you needed the update, it would appear in software update (run from Apple menu). I think Apple is holding the 7.6.x update for a reason and I don't think they forgot their own new OS. If you run SL "activity monitor", you will see 90% of processes are 64bit, especially Apple ones. The version advertised here is 32bit.

As I said, stick with software update if in doubt.

HOLYPOLY Version 7.1.4 adds support for iTunes 9. However, it won't show up as an available update in SL, and the standalone installer refuses to run under Snow Leopard, as QT 10 is already installed (which is true).

Dig into the .mpg package using "Show Package Content", expanding the Archive.pax.gz file. A new folder labelled "Archive" will show up on the Desktop. Open it, locate the "Applications" folder inside, which contains the Quicktime Player application.

Runs fine here under 10.6.1 .

PEPPERJACK cause some game programs to crash or stop working, wish there was a rollback to 7.5. while I am wishing I wish they would do a better job of testing before releasing .

ESPIRIDION It's sad that QuickTime is called "The multimedia cornerstone of Mac OS X."

It is a terrible application. For years I've had to rely on alternative programs to play different media, and as of version 7.6.4 this is still the case.

Fortunately there's VLC, MPlayer, Perian, WMV Player, etc. QuickTime is not good enough on its own, and the lack of upgrade path for Pro users adds insult to injury.

YOUDAMNKIDS Woops, didn't see that you could reply to other comments, but yeah, I'm having the same problem in 10.4.11, and it did auto update.

YOUDAMNKIDS I don't think it's a sytem version issue, because I just installed the Tiger version linked at the top of the page, and I'm still having the same problem.

YOUDAMNKIDS Two things:

!) I've noticed it's not just changing the system's focus, it's actually restarting the finder every couple minutes. Icons blink, system focus changes, and any open finder windows close.

2) Reverting back to an older version of Quicktime doesn't stop this from happening.

YOUDAMNKIDS Here's a fix for anyone still needing it:

MELMAN FLINK Installed without any issues on a G4/533 DP and a G4/400. Nothing, negative or positive, to report, so far.

Comment nit: Might be nice to see the type of Macs being used when evaluating software here. After all, not all Macs are the same and some issues are model specific.

RORO01 If you listen to internet radio, music, etc., using QuickTime whilst you're falling asleep - download App QuitTimer.

MACLOVER1.1 Why are there 2 Quicktime players now concurrently living in my system ?? Quicktime Player and Quicktime 7

MISHA Because you're running 10.6 and chose to install QuickTime 7, also. So now your Mac has QuickTime X and QuickTime 7.
(Version 7.6.4)

POETRY Mono Audio files still don't play.

This has been the case with every version of Quicktime 7.

Any ideas out there?
(Version 7.6)

YOUDAMNKIDS I'm running 10.4.11, and I'm also having the issue of my desktop icons blinking about once every minute or two. Also when it does this, it switches the system's focus to the finder from whatever program I'm using. I find it difficult when typing something.

ALITTLEDESIGN I am experiencing exactly the same thing with the Finder after updating Quicktime 7.6. Finder window blinks and no matter the application window I will be reverted to the Finder and have to "click" back into the application. Have tried the link suggested for stuffit system preferences and so far, so good.

ALBABE I've had some of the same problems listed since this upgrade... I used Leopard Cache Cleaner and did Permissions, Maintenance Scripts, Prebindings and System Archives... Then ran the Disc Utility... Seems to be working okay now.
