    Hi I'm the happy owner of an iPod Video, but I'm a little unhappy with having Quicktime Installed to charge my iPod through the USB, are there anyway around this problem?
    Where I can charge my iPod without having Quicktime installed?

    Yeah, read somewhere that I can't have iTunes installed without Quicktime, damn!
    It's because I don't really use Quicktime, just think it's idiotic of Apple to bundle iTunes with Quicktime, iTunes is a great program, but a little slow.

    you can uninstall quicktime by going to control panel => add or remove programs

    and then find quicktime - on my pc it says i can uninstall the sepertately but it may be different for other versions of iTunes

    You cannot uninstall QuickTime as iTunes will not work! iTunes is just an interface without it. Quicktime is the actual media player that plays your video/music, but through iTunes.

    Unfortunately, you need to have Quicktime installed & running in order to use iTunes..

    I found out a way to not having Quicktime running in the background, I deleted the Quicktime boot file, I'm not rid of Quicktime, but now It at least doesn't use unnessecary resources ;)

    Well, you need Quicktime because iTunes uses the frameworks for media playback. So Quicktime is still running..

    Think of iTunes as a really fancy interface for Quicktime.
