7.70 update is 45 MB, but the installation file downloaded from TechSpot (or directly from the Apple download site, if you can get the correct version) is only 38 MB. Please correct me if I'm wrong.ĭoes anyone know if the Apple Application Support program is updated if you use the installation file downloaded from the TechSpot site that carolfromhazlet recommended? If I run the Apple Software Updater from within QuickTime (Help | Update Existing Software), the v. ![]() ![]() I'm assuming that you are referring to the new Purchased link in the Quick Links section of the iTunes Store that allows iPhone/iPad users who are logged into their iTunes account to transfer purchased apps and e-books between different devices. That's some consolation for the DAYS I had to spend rebuilding that PC - Thanks alot Apple Geniuses. For that reason (& several more important reasons), I subsequently did a full reformat + re-install of WinXP (+ the hundreds of Windows updates), re-installed many programs & restored data files, and now that XPSP3 box runs great. Fortunately WinXP hadn't crashed & I could still do controlled shutdowns vis keyboard (Start>Shutdown) albeit with NO actions diplayed on scree. what's going on." with the Apple download webpage being now reverted back to old QT v7.69.80.9, I can only hazard some guesses- None of which are complimentary to the "Geniuses" at Apple.Ī year ago (& earlier), whenever I'd launch (then-current versions) iTunes and/or QuickTime, they would lockout ALL Windows graphical interface functions (mouse freeze, no screen draws, static clock display, etc.), as I reported in this forum -> I never got ANY useful solution from Apple or other users.

So at the moment, even though Apple announced & QuickTime claims to provide the new v7.7, in fact Apple is serving up old version 7.6.9.
