  1. ISTR reading something yesterday about how Snow Leopard users don’t need this update, since we have QuickTime X – can we safely assume that’s true, considering that Snow Leopard isn’t mentioned in the download links?

  2. I’m currently on SL 10.6.1 and tried to download and install QT 7.6.4 (for Leopard) from this link: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/.

    I had also been a QT Pro user under Leopard so that QT7 still remains on my SL install but under Utilities rather than Applications. I was greeted with a warning: “QuickTime can’t be installed on this disk. This version of QuickTime 7 can’t be installed on this disk because QuickTime X is already present. Please use Software Update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime for your Mac.”

    Also interesting, I tried to install QT 7.6.4 on a volume containing a clone of my Leopard install and was greeted with: “QuickTime can’t be installed on this disk. QuickTime can only be installed on the currently booted volume. To install QuickTime on a different volume, change your Startup Disk to that volume and restart.”

    If I have a chance, I’ll try and install QT 7.6.4 on my Leopard install and then try and migrate it to my SL Utilities folder via Migration Assistant. Currently QT 7.6.2 is there. Will report back if possible.

  3. Okay. Had a good 7.6.4 install on my Leopard volume. I moved the 7.6.2 version out of the SL Applications/Utilities folder elsewhere. I copied the 7.6.4 Leopard version to my SL/App/Utilities folder and renamed it from “QuickTime Player” to “QuickTime Player 7.”

    Note that OS X names the current version of QT in your App folder as “QuickTime Player” whether that’s 7.6.4 in Leopard or QTX in SL.

    With 7.6.4 now in my Utilities folder it launches and functions exactly as it did on my Leopard install. So, eureka!

    Cheers
