• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Heey,

I 've got a problem with Quicktime. I deleted it a few days ago (just by deleting the icon in applications and the folder in system). But now I want it back (I know I'm stupid). But when I want to download Quicktime it says that he can't install it because there's already Quicktime X installed, but I don't find this?

(and how do you delete applications on a mac, just by putting it in the trash?)

My best guess, you're going to have to reinstall Snow Leopard since you've gone into the System folder.

If the app was a drag and drop to the Applications folder, then you'll drag and drop it to the trash.

If the app had it's own installer, usually only apps that make changes to system files, then you should run it's uninstaller.

EDIT:
and now I wanted to update my software and he was busy until he said he couldn't do it and then it was done..)

Don't have a clue what that even means.
