You tube video's are suddenly downloading as Quicktime movies instead of FLV's. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? Quicktime won't play the files. I use safari and snow leopard and all updates are installed. JulieS

Is anyone else having this problem and how to fix it?

There are no preferences for Quicktime 10, only for QT 7.
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:

Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
For anything like Flash videos you should use QT 7.

  • Every so often when using safari my bookmarks disappear and then later the list shows up again.  Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

    Every once in awhile while using safari my bookmarks list disappears.  Later it just shows up again.  Anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

    I have had exactly the same problem now with two mini iPads.  Everything was tried; 1) restarting; 2) restoring factory settings etc.  NONE worked.  Eventually Apple agreed to replace it.  I have had the replacement now for two to three months and exactly the same thing is happening again. So off to Apple tomorrow to get another replacement.
    I am quite a heavy user of the iPad so wonder if this is something to do with the fault.
    It is so frustrating as sometimes reset works, and then after 10/20/30/40 minutes (you pick) it goes unstable again.

    This has happend to my ipod once...
    did u keep it somewhere so tightly pressed??
    that might be a reason. Don't worry it will turn on after some time, try connecting it to your computer or charger and see if it helps!!...

  • I have an iPhone 5s and i've been noticing that my phone would go into Do Not Disturb mode at night. So I looked under settings, and there was a profile labeled "Consumer Input" and then I noticed DND was set for 10pm-7am. Does anyone know what caused it?

    You downloaded a profile from somewhere. If it's not one you want or need, delete it.

    Here's the original problem
    http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/890221?esab=a&s=&r=2&as=s
    It seems to have finally been fixed in firefox 22 (or 21). I'd love to know what the original cause of the problem was and whether it was fixed by firefox or OS X

    I dont think any bugs were filed like this, likely something Apple fixed.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A little more info would help, such as do you have a PC or Mac ?
    What is your computer OS ?
    Assuming you have a PC, go to Control Panel, Device Manager, see if there are any yellow exclamation marks.
    If there are click the + to expand, right click the driver and choose update.
    If that does not work you can try these:  https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB06...
    But I do think you may have some conflict on your computer.
    Are there any other issues with your computer ?

  • I shut my iphone off over night and tried to turn it back on the next day and it would not turn on... or charge or anything.....anyone know what causes this..or what happened??

    pleas help me out my iphone 5c is only a month old...i shut it off over night and went to turn it back on the next day and it wouldn't turn on or charge or anything.....

    Plug it in to wall power.  If it doesn't automatically come on within 15 minutes, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.  You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.
    If it still doesn't turn on, you likely have a hardware problem.

  • Does anyone know what causes the "other" section to appear taking up space and what I can do to get rid of it...?

    For some reason everytime I add things to my phone this "other" section grows just a little more. I am not sure entirely what I might be able to do to delete this and if I may be able to keeo it away in the future. I thought restoring my phone would do it but this only reduced it I still have space taken up by it. If anyone has any solutions for me please help...

    There will always be a certain amount of "Other". Amounts to .8gB could be considered normal.

  • Just done a fresh install of Snow Leopard with all updates,iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately, I believe its  related to overheating ?

    Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok),  and a fresh clean  install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
    I believe its  related to overheating ?
    iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C,  Fan rpms is around 1000
    Any ideas somebody ?
    The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

    1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
    And
    why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
    I have restored this
    from a time machine partition.
    TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
    What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
    Why is my computer slow?
    Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
    How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
    Most commonly used backup methods
    There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
    Hope this assists.

  • My apps say they are "waiting" and they have been for days updating.  They must be stuck.  Not all of them but about 10 that ia am waiting on.  Does anyone know what do do about this?

    My apps say they are "waiting" and they have been for days updating.  They must be stuck.  Not all of them but about 10 that ia am waiting on.  Does anyone know what do do about this?

    Just to add a couple of more things that you can try ... Along with what TMM suggested ....
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    You can also try updating from the app description page rather than the Updates Tab. Do a search for the apps that needs to be updated - when it appears in the search - tap on the app icon. Then tap on Update or Install - whatever happens to appear next to the app icon - in the description page that pops up.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.

  • I have 2 airport express base stations that I am trying to use to extend my wifi. I have windows 7 and downloaded the airport utility but it wont pick up my airport express. Does anyone know what im doing wrong and how to get them to work?

    I have 2 Airport Base stations that I am trying to use to extend my WiFi but I cant get them to work. I downloade Airport Utility to windows 7 and it doesnt recognize any devices. I have them plugged in and they have a solid yellow light. Does anyone know what I need to do to get them to work. Your help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for providing the model information.
    I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations. Once completed power them all down. While powered-down, temporarily connect both Express base stations to an open LAN port on the Extreme using separate Ethernet cables.
    Once connected, power up the Extreme; wait five minutes, and then, power up each of the Express base stations. Which you power-up first doesn't matter.
    Now start up the AirPort Utility on the PC. It should now "see" all three base stations. If so, go ahead and configure your extended network.
    Please post back your results.
