		+	WARNING: If using the CopyTrans Drivers Installer product with any iTunes installer from version 10.5 upwards then you will need to install Quicktime manually (if it isn't already installed on your system), without Quicktime installed the MediaMonkey iPod/iPhone plugin will not operate correctly. From iTunes 10.5 onwards Apple no longer bundles Quicktime as part of the iTunes installer (see [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3772 http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3772] for details). As of V1.013 the Copytrans Drivers Installer product does not warn you if it cannot find/install Quicktime from the iTunes installer set being used.
