  • QuickTime only available with iTunes?

    I just went to a Web site that requires QuickTime, and discovered that my copy of QuickTime is out of date. No  biggie. I hopped over to the Apple download page and…

    And was reminded that Apple tries to get you to install iTunes when you want QuickTime.

    I vaguely recall seeing links in the past to a QuickTime download without iTunes, but when I went looking, all I could find was http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ . If you click on that link, it re-directs to the standard QuickTime download page – which doesn’t have a standalone version of Quicktime.

    As things stand, I guess I have to install iTunes on this computer if I want QuickTime. Blech.

    Does anybody have a link to the standalone QuickTime download?
