Can someone please tell me what the versions available are.
I see a download for QT 7 on the Apple site.
Mine is a 2011 MacBookPro and all it says is version 10? Where does it say what it is, I've heard of X but no idea what version 10 is?
It's never upgraded it so what is current?
Is there no way on there to be able to change the contrast or brightness because it really needs tweeking?
Thanks
MacBook Pro
Snow Leopard (10.6.x) offers two versions (QuickTime X version 10.0 and QuickTime Player version 7.6.6).
Lion (10.7.x) also offers two verions (QuickTime Player version 10.1 and QuickTime Player version 7.6.6).
A/V Controls window is only available in 7.6.6.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923 Even though the link says 10.6.3 the QuickTime download link is 7.6.6.
Can someone please tell me what the versions available are... I see a download for QT 7 on the Apple site.
QT v7.7 is the latest player/structure update for Leopard and Windows operating systems. QT v7.6.6 and QT v10.0 are the latest player updates for the dual QT v7.6.6/QT v10.0 structure compatible with Snow Leopard. QT 7.6.6 and QT 10.1 are the latest player updates for the dual QT v7.7.1/QT v10.1 structure which is compatible with the Lion operating system.

QT X and QT 10 are the same thing. (i.e., X is the Roman numeral representing 10 just OS X is also sometimes referred to as OS 10.)

Yes, along as you do not add the QT 7 Player app from the Snow Leopard OS disc.
Is there no way on there to be able to change the contrast or brightness because it really needs tweeking?
For the QT X Player app, adjust the display screen controls. For the QT 7 app (if you choose to install it), use the A/V control panel to adjust brightness, color, contrast, and/or tint.
Thanks guys, I did try the display screen brightness but it's just a wash out, I think you really need actual contrast.
What do you mean add 7 from the SL disk? Do they offer it on there, I've never used the disk. It says they offer 2, but why?
What is the norm, and what do most people have?
QuickTime Player 7.6.6 is an "optional" install in Snow Leopard (from the DVD) and it installs in the Utilities folder.
Only 7.6.6 can be upgraded to "Pro". It offers more codec support than version 10 or 10.1 and has the A/V Controls window (missing in 10 and 10.1).
Versions 10 and 10.1 have "screen recording" options that are not found in QuickTime Player 7.6.6. Versions 10 and 10.1 do not support many older formats and codecs that play easily with 7.6.6.
Thanks for that, I didn't know that was on the install disc, Nobody tells you these things... presumably the same one that's for download on the Apple site.
