how to uninstall quick time player.

QuickTime 7.7.9 for Windows has the advise to uninstall. No later versions exist for Windows.

QuickTime 10.5 for Mac is the current version. Any advise to uninstall this version on Mac could point to malware or other scams.

Do you have third party security software where this alert came from?

You can’t. QuickTime Player (and the QuickTime framework) is integral part of macOS. It can’t be deleted or uninstalled as for this software part only.

What issue were you having, that you thought uninstalling would help solve?

not working

What do you mean “not working”? What did you try to do that didn’t go as expected?

What was different when it last worked? On what version macOS was that?

If this is about a media file, what are its properties (format, codecs)?

Alright, I think I understand.

While I can’t find an option in the Photos app to show the source file in Finder, or an option to view in QuickTime Player, there is an option to Edit With﹥QuickTime Player (⌘⏎). No need to edit anything per se; once opened in QTP, you can play it there, or save it elsewhere. For playback, not much different from playing in the Photos app, though.

The video file itself is probably in your Pictures folder (~/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/, «Show Package Contents»), although obfuscated with a semi random filename of 32 characters (+4 dashes) in the library copy, like 735EC691-6073-48A5-8B12-B86675676D3F.mov . Looking at the modified dates may also help identifying your recent import.

QuickTime Player itself will play the video files fine, when I try to play mine; it is not about the capabilities of QTP. More about the app-to-app connection through the Photos app.

I've received a security alert at work that QuickTime Player 10.5 has reached end-of-life and I need to uninstall it from my laptop

After i installed Sonoma 14.1.1 videos stored in photos will not play via Quick time, as they did before. The videos are downloaded from an Apple phone 12.
