My default Quicktime Player that comes with OS X 10.9.5 stopped working. When trying to open, I get a 'Problem Report QuickTime Player' with options 'OK' and 'Reopen'. Neither option works. Needless to say I can not play any videos. This is NOT due to upgrades, it was working but overtime it started developing problems. I think it just got damaged or corrupt and needs to be reinstalled. This is on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.9.5. This Quicktime ver (10.3 I think) came with the OS.
Apple Quicktime Player For Mac
Mac users interested in Quicktime player 10 for os x generally download: QuickTime Player10.5 QuickTime 10.0 was first demonstrated at WWDC in 2009. The application ships with Mac OS X 10.6. From Megabyte Computing: The new version of QuickTime included with Snow Leopard (called QuickTime Player X) is almost a complete overhaul of the previous version, from the look and feel of the.
Tried to uninstall it but get a message that Quicktime is part of the OS, so I stopped. Also don't know where I can get a copy of this ver of Quicktime Player.
So I'm not sure what the process is to fix it. Any pointers for this new Apple newbe would be appreciated.
Is the problem local (shows up in only user account) or global (shows up under all user accounts)? If local, then the problem may only be a corrupted PLIST file for QT X in that account's 'Preferences' folder. If global, then the problem may be corruption in the app itself, the operating system or some sort of software conflict. In most cases a global problem is more easily fixed by re-installing the entire system than by trying to diagnose, isolate, and fix a specific problem. Another possible solution (if you have a spare external drive), would be to create a pristine, secondary start-up system and use it to troubleshoot the original system problem which can be a lengthy, time-consuming proposition.
