Kevin Flynn Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Ugh. I wish Apple would do away with QuickTime already. It's a security mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasethebase Reporter Posted August 5, 2011 Reporter Share Posted August 5, 2011 OH GOOD LORD, NOT IE6. Apple, why don't you do a screenshot of SAFARI on WINDOWS. You're missing something there. I guess the UI is still as outdated and awful as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mialo Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Still keep getting error code 47 when trying to watch movie trailers off of Apple's website. Probably because your using IE6 :D j/k I am getting this too with a fresh install of Win7 64-bit. I downloaded itunes64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2kboy23 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I am getting this too with a fresh install of Win7 64-bit. I downloaded itunes64. I just tried copying the address into quicktime and it still gives the same error. Also just tried it on my Mac and everything loaded just fine. EDIT: If I paste the link into a new tab, the trailer plays just fine. Not really sure what's happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramonga Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Quicktime is horrible. Agreed! Forms the biggest part of the bloat that is iTunes, together they marry very well and poison ones system beyond control. If one must use it, then use Quicktime Alternative Lite. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QT_Lite.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted August 5, 2011 Veteran Share Posted August 5, 2011 people still use the official rather than the alternative for windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mialo Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Ugh. I wish Apple would do away with QuickTime already. It's a security mess. I am curious. How is it a security mess? Is it a security problem just on windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKay Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 It annoys me this does, Apple basically refuses to acknowledge that Windows 7 exists, the latest version I can find of Windows on Apple.com is a picture of Windows Vistas Desktop. Now they're showing this with XP, and IE 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udedenkz Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Does anyone still use it? When someone mentions Quicktime, I put it in the same category as RealPlayer and Limewire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'things to be well avoided list'. One learns from these horrible experiences in life. It's sad that some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjoswald Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I use it just because I hate those annoying "Hey, you're missing a plugin!" browser messages. I don't go out of my way to watch anything in the QT format, but I do keep it updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince781 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 It annoys me this does, Apple basically refuses to acknowledge that Windows 7 exists, the latest version I can find of Windows on Apple.com is a picture of Windows Vistas Desktop. Now they're showing this with XP, and IE 6. Exactly. Because they don't want to admit that it's a better OS than anything Apple has put out so far (including Lion). Notice how those "Get a Mac" commercials ended nearly right after Windows 7's inception? ;) On topic: QuickTime is horrible, though. I have it installed on Windows for compatibility reasons but have no file types associated with it. It's simply just third-rate in comparison to WMP and Zune. Why bother?

Kevin Flynn Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I am curious. How is it a security mess? Is it a security problem just on windows? Yes. It's always being patched. Thank God I don't use it, OR iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS Bob 11 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 As horrible as the UI is, QT Pro allows some nifty features like H.264 passthrough export and trimming and joining MP4 videos without re-encoding. That is, if you figure out how to use the awful UI. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
