Sorry Pat,

A meant to add at the bottom of my reply that you can double-click "Optional Installs/Optional Installs.mpkg" on the installer disk and install
Quicktime 7 or something you neglected to install originally.

I'm not sure if installing it this way, whether if will have your registration code, you might have to put in your Registration Code again when you launch QT Pro 7.

Cheers,
Ronni

Preview has some impressive new tricks, such as copying single pdf columns, but it apparently has to run in 32 bit mode.

Quicktime - the documents say that if you had QuickTime 7 Pro, that it would be placed into the new Utilities folder, however, I did have QT7 Pro, and it is not present in my SL installation.

Hi Pat,

My Quicktime Pro 7 was installed in Utilities. Quicktime X that is installed in SL does not have a Pro version yet. Quicktime Pro 7 is in the Custom > Optional Software Install on the DVD. Since you already had Quicktime Pro registered it should have be ticked by default in Customize settings. I did check "Customize" as I didn't want "Additional Fonts" or "Rosetta" installed, but I did want Quicktime 7 installed. I notice that Quicktime 7 was already ticked to be installed, so I didn't have to select it.

"Leopard will helpfully offer to download QuickTime Player 7 if and when it’s needed. So most people can leave this option unchecked. However, if you currently have a QuickTime Pro license, this option will be checked by default, and you should probably leave it that
way so you don’t lose any features after the upgrade.
You can optionally install QuickTime Player 7 (which does support the older media formats) alongside QuickTime X, and if you have a QuickTime Pro license, it applies to QuickTime Player 7 running under Snow Leopard as well. So you don’t exactly lose any features, but you have to use QuickTime Player 7 to get them."

Cheers,
Ronni
