Can I set a thumbnail/icon preview for movies in Finder?

I would like to set a certain frame from a video as the icon how it appears in Finder. So I can easily find the right video. I make .m4v videos. iMovie automatically sets the frame at 8 seconds into the movie. Can I change this?
Not really sure what you want to do here. Finder "icons" can be set by dropping an "image" to the QT icon in the Finder "Information" window. On the other hand, "Poster Frames" can be set in either:
1) QT Pro: open file in the QT Pro player, move playhead to frame you want as "poster", use the "Set Poster Frame" View menu option set the frame, and save the file using the "Save" File menu option.
2) iTunes: Select the M4V file in the list, play movie until "Preview" window displays the desired frame, "Control-Click" the preview window to open the "contextual" menu, and select the "Set Poster Frame" option.

QuickTime Thumbnail Icon Previews?

Is there any way to get automatic thumbnail icon previews for QuickTime files in Windows? You get them automatically for MPEG, AVI and WMV files, but not for QuickTime files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually, I've just answered my own question!
A bit long-winded...
Start to play the mp4 in Quicktime.
Pause at a suitably artistic moment in the action.
Shift-cmd-4 to take a selection of the screen and grab it as a file (I have my system set so it grabs it as a jpg.)
Open that jpg in Preview.
Select some of the image and cmd-C to copy it
Cmd-I to open the 'info' on the file in question.
Highlight the icon in the top left corner.
Cmd-V to 'overwrite' that with the image you have just put on your clipboard.
It works! But like I said, it does seem a VERY circuitous route.
Also seems to highlight the fact that you can use any size of jpg image as an icon. Is this something new in Leopard?
Anyway, I'm sure there's a clever person out there who knows how to do this 'properly'...?

Turn off icon preview for everything except pix?

I.m.o. it was a step backward in Leopard that icon previews were also made for text documents. This is nonsense. I have to see at the first glimpse what a Pages document is and what's an RTF; it's absurd to show the text preview in an icon! You can't recognize the content of a text document in 48X48, 0,01p size!
I can only turn the previews on / off for all kinds of files. But then I can't recognize pix either, which is annoying.
At the moment, I have made all extension visible, but reading an extension is not as fast as seeing a file's icon.
*Does anyone know an app, hack or anything to turn previews off for everything except pictures?*
Thank you very much
Peter

Baltwo,
Thanks for trying to help me out.
To give you some more detail:
If, for example, in Excel 2004 I do CMD-O, then a window pops up to open a file. Top left of that window I can select the view mode for that window (3 possibilities). Now, if it is ´list´or ´columns´ view I indeed only see generic icons. However, if I select ´icons´ view (leftmost possibility of the 3), I see all icons change into previews. This despite the fact that in finder I disabled icon preview for all view modes (including ´icon´ view).
Problem is the same in any application when opening files in ´icon´ view mode. A bit annoying.
Thanks,
HansC

The iPad mini is basically a one user device. There are no Accounts. You can set up restrictions so that only you can do certain things.

How can i set a global error page for all error cod

how can i set a global error page for all error code?
i don't want to leave a long list in the web.xml file.could any one help me?
thanks

If u have a common Error JSP named as ErrorPage.jsp
You need to have the following piece of code in the JSP as :
<%@ page isErrorPage ="true"%>
This makes it as the Common Error Page for the Application. Now all you need to do is from other JSP's throw the Exception to teh container. The container will redirect to this Page and process accordingly.
Thanks and regards,

That's actually how Guest Access feature works. You can share internet to your guest/visitors without giving them access to your local network. You may configure the Guest Access settings on the router using Linksys Smart Wifi through the local access interface; check this site for the instructions, http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=b509a1805dd6416ebb0e35a7e5a58937_Configuring_Guest...

Can I set up a spam filter for my iPad like I have on my Mac?

Can I set up a spam filter for my iPad like I have on my Mac?

The Mac OS X Mail application has a "Junk" function that works locally, on the Mac, and just puts emails from previously designated "junk" addresses into a separete folder, so you don't have to wade thru all that spam in your Inbox. It's a very elegant and simple, local solution, that I dearly miss on iOS.
I did submit a request for it at Apple Feedback page.

Disable / Turn off Thumbnail / Icon Preview in Finder?

Can't find any new/recent posts to solve this issue. I want to disable/turn-off the little icon preview in finder.
I have to access a lot of images on a server at work. Image files(jpeg, eps, tiff, psd, ai, ect) that are typically 50MB and higher. So you can only imagine the amount of lag I get and the time I waste every time I click on a folder in list view.
Is there any way to disable it? Just have it show a standard icon file type instead of it loading 100+ 8MB images in little tiny icons?
I've already tried the View -> Show View Options -> unchecked 'Show icon preview' and applied it as 'Use as default'
Its turn off for all folders but it is still loading the mini icon preview.
(I'm on a Mac Pro - Mountain Lion)

I've tried reinstalling Mavericks and I'm still having this issue. I'm considering wiping my drive and going back to Mountain lion. Qucktime player in Mavericks seems to suck. I'm having several other issues playing back older quictime files. Most play in Quicktime 7 but a lot have no quicklook previews. The sheer volume of prores files I shoot makes this extremely inconvenient for me. How can Apple not support their own Codec????

Is it possible to turn off the Icon previews for some filetypes?

I'd rather see the application icon for some files than see every file have a preview in the finder.
Is it possible to simply disable the live icon previews?

OMG! I can’t believe it’s such a simple answer! Ha ha! I’ve been using Macs for years and never thought to look at the Views menu! (Hangs head in shame)
Thanks!

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account, but would like to have separate apps on our phones. How can I set up a separate account for her?

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine. How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?

If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases. If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.
