dharbot Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Ow...I'll be in my corner crying Damn you Apple.com for making me want to install QT7. But its not a total loss (It is)...Installing OS can be fun. I enjoy it. To date, this will be my 14th Os install on my laptop. Heheh, too much free time.

You were probably trying to get iTunes 6, right? Anyway, in short, you have to keep Quicktime as installed with OS X 86. For some reason, the way it is with the system, you can't have the PPC version of Quicktime. Which means you have to keep iTunes 4, unless you try one of the work arounds.

dirtydog Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 You can install iTunes 6 without needing to install QT7. It isn't like Windows where the two come joined together.
