FIRST YEARS > FAQs Library > Quicktime® Movies: Downloading the Player

To download the free QuickTime player to use with your Windows system, go to Apple's product site - http://www.apple.com/quicktime/.  Click the Download button under the QuickTime menu or the Free Download button in the middle of the page. Indicate whether you want Quicktime with iTunes or without iTunes.   Be sure to unclick the boxes there for free subscriptions and news/info and don’t fill in your email address. (You don't want to be putting yourself on any mailing lists.) Click on “Free Download Now." The downloading process should start automatically. If not, there are links to follow to troubleshoot. When you click the download button, you will be asked what you want to do with the download. Choose "Save to Disk." Depending on how your computer is set up, it may ask you where to save the file.  The best location to save Windows' downloads is the "My Downloads" folder/subdirectory under "My Documents." In the Download box, note the name of the install file (QuickTimeInstaller.exe) for later reference, then click on "OK." You will see a small notice when the file finishes downloading. You can then close the installation window. To install, go to the "My Downloads" folder and double-click on the installer program file (QuickTimeInstaller.exe). The instructions that appear take you though the installation procedure step-by step. It's that easy! Note for Mac users: You can download free Flip4Mac™ software to play Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv) directly in your QuickTime Player.
