Quicktime (Wnds): "Error 47 Invaild URL" and unable to load player

I just have regular quicktime so I don't imagnine quicktime Pro has anything to do with the error.

So, we all have this problem, I didn't until I upgraded to quicktime 7 from 6.3 It's not the Pro, though. I also added itunes and thought that might be it. Y'all how do I get my quicktime to run? You would think Apple would answer us here huh? HEY Apple guys.Please help

I managed to sort out my Quick Time PRO issue but tried this morning to access QuickTime 7.1.3 again but error 47 invalid URL still exists. Why ask us to pay for PRO but cannot use the software. Come on Apple help us out!!

I've got both the Error 47 and the QT Pro issue having paid my £20 yesterday and entered the activation key sent me. Although it says QT Pro has activated as per the Apple instructions nothing has happened (ie no evidence of QT Pro on my system) and I am just left with a faulty player (and out of pocket) Any advice on how you solved the QT pro issue ?

I don't have any of these problems on my XP laptop and QuickTime version 7.1.3.
The "invalid URL" message may be caused by the link to the "Content Guide".
Standard install leaves an option to view the Content Guide at launch. Try turning off the feature:
Edit menu / Preferences / Player Preferences... / General tab
Under "Other:" remove the check mark to "Show Content Guide at startup" and click the Apply button.
Quit and relaunch QuickTime Player and see if the message is gone.
Don't know how to fix all your other problems as you've mucked things up by deleting manually instead of using Add/Remove software.

Disabling features does not constitute a fix. I did remove quicktime via the add/remove programs utility and reinstalled it and still get the same error message.

Probably not - obviously some glitch with Apple or Microsoft software in the past few days. Hopefully somebody will let us have a cure for the error 47

Does anyone know how to get a refund on the £20 I spent for QT Pro. I haven't got hours to spend solving this problem and if Apple have got a simple means of refunding me for something which doesn't work (for whatever reason) without a convoluted system of trying to find a solution then that's not good customer service.

Apple doesn't refund software download purchases.
Please start a new thread question describing your issues.
Before you fly off the new question look under the "About QuickTime" (Help menu).
Is the word Pro on the Q logo in that window?

Hey QuickTime Kirk,
Back to the original question, why is there an error 47 invalid URL message, everytime I try to open Quicktime. I have installed everything correctly. Is there a way to fix this?

Did the instructions in my reply to this thread not work for you?
There are too many "me too" add ons in this thread to give each an individual answer.

From the File menu of QT player go to Open Url, from the pull down menu choose Clear History. I read, error 47 invalid url, has something to do with Real Player and QuickTime. Possibly a url from Real Player being in the QT Open URL? Also someone claimed when they unistalled Real Player it solved the problem, I would try clearing history to see if that helps.

Jacumba,
Thank you so much, that worked, I cleared the history and now QT opens right up. You Rock.

Error 47 Invalid URL has now disappeared. When I open QT7.1.3 everything is OK. Must have been a glitch with Apple server.
