Tried to uninstall it but get a message that Quicktime is part of the OS, so I stopped. Also don't know where I can get a copy of this ver of Quicktime Player.
So I'm not sure what the process is to fix it. Any pointers for this new Apple newbe would be appreciated.
Is the problem local (shows up in only user account) or global (shows up under all user accounts)? If local, then the problem may only be a corrupted PLIST file for QT X in that account's 'Preferences' folder. If global, then the problem may be corruption in the app itself, the operating system or some sort of software conflict. In most cases a global problem is more easily fixed by re-installing the entire system than by trying to diagnose, isolate, and fix a specific problem. Another possible solution (if you have a spare external drive), would be to create a pristine, secondary start-up system and use it to troubleshoot the original system problem which can be a lengthy, time-consuming proposition.
