| 864165 | 2010-03-05 02:15:00 | Per my previous post, I installed iTunes on my computer to test connectivity with the iTunes Store. Naturally, and without asking, it also loaded Quicktime and stuck its usual icon in the quick-launch tool bar. I removed that excrescence via msconfig, but can't find a way to uninstall Quicktime itself. It doesn't appear in the Add-Remove programs options, nor does it appear to have its own uninstall function. Short of butchering the program files by deleting anything I can find (which will probably commit me to interminable warnings that the program doesn't feel to good etc and please download again) is there any way I can get rid of it easily and for good? Cheers Billy 8-{) :annoyed: |

| 864167 | 2010-03-05 02:27:00 | Its usually in add/remove (well with any other version of windows that is, besides 2000). Try revo uninstaller if it works with Windows 2000 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 864168 | 2010-03-05 02:59:00 | What version of Windows are you on Billy? I was able to uninstall Quick Time through the Programs menu, and through the start menu folder for Quick Time. If neither of those options are present you could just delete the Program Files\Quick Time\ folder. That shouldn't affect anything else. :) |

| 864169 | 2010-03-05 03:09:00 | Well the reason it did not ask if you wanted to install it is because iTunes requires Quicktime to function. It is not unreasonable to expect if you are installing iTunes you are wanting to use it. |

It is not unreasonable to expect if you are installing iTunes you are wanting to use it. Personally I only used iTunes to rip music CDs for my MP3 player, I tried a lot of alternatives first, but regrettably this was the only free program that did it reliably. It didn't seem to miss QT in the previous installation at all, but that got lost in the crash of '09. I originally installed iTunes a few years back so maybe I'm wrong and I didn't succeed in getting rid of QT at that time, but I sure thought I did and it certainly stopped annoying me.

I find Windows Media Player reliable enough, but I'm using version 11 which isn't available for Windows 2000 (I think). |

Try revo uninstaller if it works with Windows 2000 Ah well, I'm in the dying stages of my W2K period (apart from on my laptop) so this computer will not be used for much after it's retired, it will probably live out its days as a print-server. For the hell of it I'll try to remove Quicktime anyway. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 864174 | 2010-03-05 07:32:00 | Quicktime is pretty horrible and iTunes is much worse. There are many free CD rippers that work - the best one being EAC (Exact Audio Copy). If you want to rip to MP3 you must download the encoder yourself but that's also free and it's not very hard to do either. I wouldn't bother using anything else, personally, and certainly not iTunes. |
