best replacement for quicktime for mac ventura

what leads you to believe that QuickTime Player is not part of your macOS?

so in the second page of your launchpad apps, can you not see QT in the "comes with apple" set of apps? QT is clearly visible. is it not there when you open that section? below is captured from your screenshot.

you're welcome :)

and if you want to revisit this discussion in the future, there are two methods that would work.

the first, you can add this specific page to your bookmarks as you would with any other page.

and second, you can access your subscriptions to quickly find this discussion.

although the latter becomes more and more difficult if you choose to start participating here regularly and start racking up posts. :)

Anyone know what to suggest as a Quicktime alternative? I cannot open Quicktime on my new Mac0S Ventura. I see it in 'Applications' but it is faded in colour, like it's a ghost application. I figure it was just transferred from all apps on the older IMAC I got in 2014. I am extremely frustrated.

thanks for your time in responding

As I said, Try VLC.

You may have transferred an older version of Quicktime, but there should be a new one that comes with Ventura..

As you have now found out, Quicktime still exists, so no need to replace it.

VLC is not an Apple product. However, it is an incredibly capable and vert trustworthy app. It can open a large variety of formats including MOV formats that the current QT may no longer be able to open.

Don't know what Apple Store reps may or may not recommend.

I recommend VLC, because I have used it and can vouch for its capabilities and functionality.

@jeffreytheforg,

Thanks for taking over. Had to actually go work for a living for a little bit.

Thanks very much for the support that I’ve received on this thread. I’m now finding QuickTime is working just fine, it was my ignorance and the new (to me)Ventura format that was confusing me. I have much appreciation for everyones time and effort in responding.

no problem there. I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, I have found that this community works best when we all work together. :)

Try VLC.
