Q: Quicktime needs re-install
My Quicktime Player is not working right. I was trying to make Quicktime Pro the Default and messed it up with the help of Clean My Mac. Used Time Machine to try to undo what I deleted, now when QuickTime is open and I try to click on the registration to make it be Pro version nothing happens. What I am concerned about is the little edit sliders are gone.
Is there a way to re-install Quicktime? Obviously, some of the support files are missing. Thanks, mark

Thanks macjack, DONE. Got rid of CleanMyMac. QuckTime Pro was still messed up. No edit bars and no registration option. It was just QuickTime Player7. Used Time Machine backup to restore computer to the day before and now it's all good. It took almost 5 hours for TimeMachine since it is a USB drive, but learned a lesson. I considered just going to El Capitan, but after reading more about it, sounded like more things to fix. Everything is great with Yosemite 10.10.5.
I'm 65 years old and not that adventurous anymore, so if it's not broke, don't fix it. Sounds like El Capitan is really designed for the new style drives anyway.
