Reinstall Quicktime X

You can use this program, Pacifist to extract Quicktime X from you install disc.

http://www.charlessoft.com/

what directory is it located under using the application?

I have no idea. You'll have to look for it.

i have and its not there.

why post an answer without evidence that it works?

Excuse me??? You just don't know what your going. I posted to the OP to use Pacifist to extract Quicktime from the install disc. Other have done it with success. You need to search the disc and find the program that your looking for... And please don't tell me what to post here.

again please tell me where it is located on the disk?

have you even tried? where do you get the evidence?

my background is network engineering.

my feeling is it cant be reinstalled without an archive and install.

if i give advice for my clients i provide the steps to actually do something so please don't come down on me for your answer

better yet point please where on the forum someone reinstalled quicktime x from the dvd and ill be glad to attempt it.. pacifist is a cool tool from what i see so far.

Look for a package folder. Better yet do a search of this forum for the program I mention above.

thanks for your help. i stand corrected.

reinstalled pacifist and searched again basesystem\applications\quicktimeplayer

extracted to default location and reinstalled ok

thanks david

Correction.
I just finished reinstalling Quicktimeplayer via Pacifist and the location shown here is wrong.
I am too tired to even type the very long location.
But if you search for this exactly excluding quotes "Quicktime Player.app", you will find what you need.

it has not the secuety fixes that 7.6.4 has so the hackers can continue attacking snow leopard user of qt 7 pro

Thanks... Got it.

Thanks guys, I'll call this post answered. Worked for me. Appreciate it a bunch.

(1) Dowload and install Pacifist
(2) Insert your Snow Leopard install DVD
(3) Run Pacifist and choose "Open Apple Install Disks" (takes a bit)
(4) Search for "Quicktime Player.app"
(5) Select "Quicktime Player.app" (in Essentials.pkg/Applications) and choose "Install to Default Location"

Note that if your problem is that QuickTime won't play .MOV, this won't fix it.

Good Lord - this has taken me several hours to work out. Thank you Dave.
