The QuickTime 7 upgrade wipes out your Quicktime 6 Pro without notice or permission. Here's how Apple customer service told me to get it back:

How to downgrade to QuickTime Pro 6
I just drug a copy of Quicktime-6 to the applications folder from my backup and all the pro features were intact. If I don't need the pro features I use Quicktime-7, if I do, I launch Quicktime-6.

Thanks, dragging my backed up copy of Quicktime 6.5.2 Pro to the applications folder running 10.3.9 works great! I appended 6.5.2 to the QuickTime app name before dragging it to my regular drive.

Ummm....

Find a recent SerialBox and grab the QT Pro key from there. That's how mine is Pro authorized—albeit illicitly, but since you purchased a Pro key in the first place, there would be nothing at all wrong with you grabbing it from there.
"...since you purchased a Pro key in the first place...
...there would be nothing at all wrong with you grabbing it from there"
Ummm, I was NOT warned.
I lost all Pro functionality, and had to buy a new key.
NOT Warned here either...
...when I did the initial upgrade to 10.4. However, I WAS warned when I Software Updated to QT 7.0.1 (though it was in tiny print and you had to select QT 7.0.1 in the list to see the warning). Fortunately I saw the hint about keeping your QT 6 app somewhere, so I've still got Pro functionality available.
Ummm, I was warned.
I also recieved several warnings before installing QT 7.0
Ummm, I was warned.
You are not alone. I was warned in the same fashion using Software Update.app. And not just warned once, actually, I believe it was three times.
How to downgrade to QuickTime Pro 6
When I installed QuickTime 7.0 in 10.3.9 the installer gave THREE explicit warnings that my version 6 pro key would not be valid. First the readme file (which the installer itself displays) clearly stated that QT 7 requires a new pro key; next a dialog box appeared indicating that my current pro key would be invalidated if I continued, which I had to acknowledge with an "OK"; finally, just before the real installation began, there was an "are you sure?" message that I had to answer yes to before my QT 6 pro installation was replaced. From my perspective, not only was there warning given and permission asked, the point was absolutely driven into the ground.

I have upgraded to QT Pro 7 (on Tiger) but encounter a complete crash of QuickTime when I use a certain codec.

You may have been warned during your install, but during my upgrade from Panther to Tiger, there were no such active warnings displayed about nuking my QTime 6 Pro key.

I kept the QuicktimePlayer.app from my 10.3.9 install in a different folder, and when I upgraded to 10.4, I could run the old 6.5.2 player with Pro functionality, at least with 10.4 and then upgrading to 10.4.1 -- so the app still works.

This is helpful. However, I am not yet ready to move to Tiger. I am in OS 10.3.9. I have QT 6.5.2 Pro. I am about to move up to QT 7 but I want to keep 6 available as well. All on one machine - still in OS 10.3.9. |
