Fear not, Leopard users, Apple is still watching out for you. QuickTime 7.7 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard closes quite a number of security holes. As is common, we have no sense of how worrying these vulnerabilities really are, but it’s probably worth updating if you use QuickTime in Leopard. And if you’re running Snow Leopard or Lion, move along, there’s nothing to see here. (Free, 68.85 MB)

Removing Photos from iPhoto
Despite iPhoto's long history, many people continue to be confused about exactly what happens when you delete a photo. There are three possibilities.
If you delete a photo from an album, book, card, calendar, or saved slideshow, the photo is merely removed from that item and remains generally available in your iPhoto library.
If, however, you delete a photo while in Events or Photos view, that act moves the photo to iPhoto's Trash. It's still available, but...
If you then empty iPhoto's Trash, all photos in it will be deleted from the iPhoto library and from your hard disk.

How the heck do you upgrade this thing?
I downloaded from the link you provided. When trying to install, when I got to "Destination" a got a 'block' saying that I need to use the software update.
Okay, so I launched QT 7.6.6 hit the software update and it said I was up-to-date.
Okay, so I App Zapped it. Tried the QT 7.7 installer still at square one.
I keep playing around, but if anyone has any suggestions...mucho appreciato :)

It's for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard only - it shouldn't install on Snow Leopard. I'll try to make that even more clear in the article.
The actual download link seems to be broken (around 4:15 PM PDT). Or am I the only one still getting the old QuickTime 7.6.9?
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ still downloads the old 7.6.9 dmg. File size matches my existing 7.6.9 file, so it's not just a graphics glitch.
Hopefully, Apple's on top of this.

Nevermind. As of 4:30 PM, seems to be fixed. (Now that's service!) New 68.9 MB .dmg file, so it's definitely not the old 68.6 MB 7.6.9 version.
It is not fixed for me! I have written Apple twice about downloading the old 7.6.9 version. Of course, they didn't respond! Today, 09 Aug, I still get the 7.6.9 version when I try to download on Leopard or Snow Leopard. I am using Leopard until I finish a video project with Final Cut Express.
