My mac didn't come with Quicktime so i downloaded /Users/tamileelavallee/Downloads/QuickTimePlayer7.6.6_SnowLeopard.dmg I'm not sure if it was the wrong one because it won't open at all

All Macs ship with QuickTime. What version of OS X are you running?

Click on the Apple Logo on the top left of your screen. Choose "About This Mac". The information is there.

I am in the same boat that you are in. I got my computer a couple of weeks ago. I have El Capitan Version 10.11.6. Which is the newest of the new. I have no other updates that I can update. I have downloaded every quicktime player that would be compatible with El Capitan and none of them have the option to record video or audio. The closest thing to recording is broadcasting( one of the ones of that I downloaded), which says error when I try to broadcast. I have an I mac which came with quicktime and I know that quick time comes with every mac. I cant seem to understand why it didn't come with mine. But when I download a video and put it into final cut pro to edit, it has the quick time player sign in the middle of the file. You would think that seeing the quick time player sign, that it would be in your applications or Launch pad. But there nothing. So weird. I have looked every where on the internet to see how I can download it. But there is nothing. Help!! lol

FWIW, both QuickTime Player 10 and 7 will record. That's why they have these choices in the menu…

What is it you are trying to record?

Which versions have you downloaded

And which version of OS X are you using

El Capitan. I know I know, this is for snow leopard, but this is the only one I saw on the mac store that I downloaded, that looked correct.

El Capitan comes with QuickTime Player 10. It's in the Applications folder.

So your showing that QuickTime Player 10 and 7 are installed? Why the screenshot?

But it's not.

Use Quicktime 10, it's in the Applications folder
