Preface

Welcome to QuickTime

Upgrading to QuickTime Pro

Once QuickTime is on your computer, you can purchase the registration key to use
QuickTime Pro features (go to www.apple.com/quicktime/buy/). You will be sent an
email with your user name and registration number. After you enter your registration
number for QuickTime Pro, new menu options appear in QuickTime Player.

To enter your registration number:

1

Open System Preferences, click QuickTime, and click Registration. (In Windows, click
Start, choose Control Panel, open QuickTime, and click Enter Registration.)

2

In the “Registered to” field, enter your name exactly as it appears (including
capitalization) in the email from the Apple Store.

3

In the Number field, enter your registration number exactly as it appears (using
hyphens) in the email from the Apple Store. The registration number uses zeroes, not
the letter “O.”

The Organization field is optional.

Checking for New Versions of QuickTime

From time to time, Apple releases new versions of QuickTime. If you’re connected to
the Internet while using QuickTime Player, you’ll be notified if there’s a newer version of
QuickTime available. It’s a good idea to have the latest version of the software installed
on your computer.

To check for a new version of QuickTime:
Mac OS X:

Open System Preferences, click QuickTime, click the Update tab, and click

Update Now.

Windows:

Use the QuickTime Updater application in the QuickTime folder. You can

also use the updater to add additional QuickTime components to those you already
have installed.
