I know that when Quicktime is installed for the first time, it does ask you which filetypes you want it to play, and if you want it to be your default media player. Otherwise, you should go into START MENU/PROGRAMS/QUICKTIME and poke around and see if there is a preferences tab. i have Quicktime on two computers, and it doesn't interfere with anything. I believe that Quicktime is required if you want to listen to or view iTunes content, such as their podcasts, radio streams, etc.
Andy From: Stanley Littrell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2011 9:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: iTunes and window-eyes Because I recently purchased an apple iPhone, I had to install iTunes. The problem is that I installed Apple's quicktime player as part of the setup. The question is this? Is the quicktime player required? The problem is that the player prohibited me from being able to download podcasts that I like. It also caused an error with winamp. Before Jeff asks, I forgot the error and what it says. I know that quicktime was the culprit because uninstalling the app brought things back to normal meaning that I was able to download my podcasts. If quicktime is required, is their a way to keep it from interfering with being able to download files. I'm sorry about the long post. Any help or pointers with respect to the iTunes situation would be appreciated. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
