Q: QuickTime not supported by iTunes???

So when was QuickTime detached from iTunes and why?

 

I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3

iTunes v12.1.2.27

QuickTime v10.4 (8336)

 

I wanted to play a music video and got this error message...

    Do you just want an answer to the question, or is what you really want is help resolving the error message?   (Just so you know, none of us will know the whys and wherefore of Apple's actions, and even if we did, Apple has non-disclosure requirements covering pretty much everything, including, I suspect, what will be served for lunch in their cafeterias [and we don't even know if they have those because nobody is allowed to tell us ].)

     

    If you see a "This movie requires QuickTime" message in iTunes 12.1 or later - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203459

    iTunes now has its own decoders built in, but does not support as many formats as QuickTime Player.

     

    DRag the video to your desktop, then open it in QT and export it in a format that is supported by iTunes, such as .m4p
