I can't even close quicktime.
Or you can use the "Command-Option-Escape" short-cut key combination to open the "Force Quit Applications" window to force the QT Player to quit.

  • HT3775 can i download QuickTime Player for free?

    can i download QuickTime Player for free?

    If your talking about Quicktime 7, yes it is free. You download it from Apples web site. If you want Quicktime 7 Pro you need to download the Pro key from Apple's online store, you need both...

    If your talking about Quicktime 10, no. Quicktime 10 comes with Lion. And there isn't a pro version for Quicktime 10.

  • Is there a terminal command that will close quicktime player once a video is finished?

    I'm running a python program that uses subprocess.call(['open', '-a', "Quicktime Player", filename]) to open a video and defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGPlayMovieOnOpen 1 starts it automatically. I'm wondering if there's a terminal way or a python way to close the video once it's finished.

    Hi, Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
    What do you mean by "pick up"?
    I mean to show what the DNS numbers are that the router is using.
    They are not entered in the DNS server field in Networks, TCP/IP tab.
    If you mean refresh the client settings, the DNS settings are obtained as part of the DHCP lease (or PPP connection in the case of PPP).
    The user/ OP is actually using PPPoA, when i googled PPPoA.. seems he is using Cisco perhaps.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-PointProtocol_overATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
    "PPPOA or PPPoA, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM, is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in ATM AAL5. It is used mainly with cable modem, DSL and ADSL services.
    It offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression. If it is used as the connection encapsulation method on an ATM based network it can reduce overhead slightly (around 0.58%) in comparison to PPPoE".
    Essentially the original poster removed the OpenDNS #s from his DNS server field in the TCP/IP tab (b/c they seem to make Adobe.com inaccessible to him)
    removing them & allowing his router to "pick them up from the ISP" seems to solved his problem.
    However he can not, find what the numbers are that are being utilized,
    b/c they are not entered as usual in the Network, & part of the DHCP lease,
    or in Airport admin Utility.
    I/ we wondered, if there was a Terminal command that will show what the
    numbers are that are being used .
    Does that help clarify what I mean? Sorry to be so long winded.

  • Can't open Quicktime player after installing

    Hi, I did a search and couldn't find this problem being directly addressed so hopefully someone can enlighten me. I had an older version of Quicktime on my computer that just stopped working properly (it may have been after I upgraded Internet Explorer), so I uninstalled it from my computer, downloaded the Quicktime installer for 7.1.5.120 and went though the installation process. It seemed to install OK, said to click the finish button, and there was an icon on my desktop (though nothing in the system tray).
    When I tried to double click on the Quicktime Player icon I would get the window hourglass for a few seconds and then nothing. It won't open the player (and the same thing happens if I try to open through the program menu). I tried to double click on a .mov file, which then opens up the internet browser for some reason, followed by warnings from Windows that it has restricted the page from running active scripts, and if I overide the warning it opens a page with a broken quictime logo, then says there's been an error and explorer needs to shut down.
    I've done complete uninstalls, even manually deleting left over files and then reinstalled with no luck. If anyone has any suggestions I would be appreciative! Thanks

    In c:\documents and settings it shows a default user folder and an owner folder. When I turn on the computer it shows Owner. I'm the only one who uses the computer, so I don't need to sign on or anything. Do I need to delete the default user folder? Thanks for taking the time to help me!

  • Can't eject a DVD / Can't close DVD Player

    I was trying to view movie, just getting black screen and spinning wheel. Now won't let me eject DVD because it says "DVD Player is using it".  Can't close the application while spinning.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Go to the  menu and select Force Quit.  In the window that comes up select DVD Player and force quit it.
    Then you should be able to eject the disc normally.

  • Can I use QuickTime player to watch video in YouTube

    Can I use he QuickTime player to watch video in YouTube, I seen like YouTube use flash player

    Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers and portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Walmart/Vudu also has a service that basically gives you a digital copy of a DVD you already own. See:

  • Can't get quicktime player to play captured FCE movies

    we updated our groups computer to a mini with lion. We captuer movies with FCE 4.1 using fire wire or s-vidio. It all works fine (capture save etc) in FCE. The problem is when you want to pre-view them from the desktop. When you double click the cip (which is shown as data type: quicktime movie) quicktime player opens, but will not play the clip. if i transfer the file to an external drive and then put that drive on a computer with snowlepord, quicktime player 10 plays the clip fine. What do i need to do or fix quicktime player in lion? I suppose i can download quicktime 7 pro from an Snowlepord machine, but i would like to get lion's player to work

    re-read my post and i must clarify it just a bit. The sound plays on the mini with lion, but no picture. The rest is still true. Again if anyone can help i would appreciate it.

  • AAC (.m4a) file can play in Quicktime player... but not in iTunes!

    I have QuickTime player v7.6.9. I also have iTunes 10.2.1.1
    I have an AAC-encoded file which can play perfectly in the QuickTime player. It shows the song has a duration of 3:46.
    I tried to add this to my iTunes library. It shows up with a duration of 789:57:13 and iTunes refuses to play it... just moves on to the next song on the list.
    What's this all about?

    Well, I'm not sure how this file was encoded originally, but luckily I had "faad" (Freeware Advanced Audio Decoder) installed on a nearby Ubuntu Linux machine.
    I copied the AAC/.m4a file to the Ubuntu machine.
    In a terminal, switched to the directory where the AAC file was and typed "faad yourmusic_filename.m4a" which created a .WAV file.
    I copied the .WAV file to the Windows machine running iTunes.
    Had iTunes add the .WAV file to the library.
    Selected the .WAV file in the library and did "Advanced -> Create AAC Version".
    Now I also have an AAC version of the song in the library that will play in both iTunes and QuickTime.
    Say, wouldn't it be nice if iTunes would actually FIX the file on its own in the first place... or at least be a little more receptive to any AAC file you can throw at it like its QuickTime brother?

  • How can I make Quicktime Player 7 appear in the "Open With" menu?

    Well, the subject says it all, I think.
    I have installed SL, and now I want Quicktime Player 7 to appear in the right-click menu "Open With".
    I have tried to rebuild the launch services database like this:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    But to no avail.

    I got curious and checked a couple of things with right click. Some items show QT7 as an option, some don't. One .mov file that didn't had as the default ( ! ) something called "QuickTime Player Launcher" so I went ahead and used that to see what would happen, and QT7 did indeed launch and play the movie. Yet another .mov file that showed "QT Player Launcher" and no QT7 turned out to open in QTX. The first one was made in Leopard, the second was made in Snow Leopard using QTX screen capture. Other older .mov files with the "QT Player Launcher" default open in QTX. I remain baffled by a LOT of the behavior with QT7 and QTX.

  • Can't open Quicktime Player

    Every time I try to open Quicktime I get this message: "The last time you opened QuickTime Player, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?" Whether I choose "Don't reopen" or "Reopen", the application doesn't work.

    In c:\documents and settings it shows a default user folder and an owner folder. When I turn on the computer it shows Owner. I'm the only one who uses the computer, so I don't need to sign on or anything. Do I need to delete the default user folder? Thanks for taking the time to help me!

  • I can't move quicktime player

    I've launched QT in ML in order to open an audio file to create a ringtone. The UI is there but everytime I go to click and move it to another part of the display the app changes to "FINDER" from QT.
    Now I can't edit the audio either.
    Any offers of help are gratefully received.

    Click here, install the software, and apply your QuickTime Pro key to the player in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. It must be a QuickTime 7 Mac key.
    There is no QuickTime X Pro.

  • Can't get Quicktime Player to work with an old program

    Hi, I've been trying to get a game of mine to work, and it needs quicktime 4.
    I had quicktime 4 running great for a while, but it suddenly stopped working a while ago. I couldn't reinstall it for some reason, it never seemed to get completely off of my computer and it ran worse every time I tried to uninstall and reinstall.
    So, I decided that I'd try updating to the newest quicktime, but quicktime still does not work. It shows up in my programs and features section on the control panel, but will not uninstall, even if I prompt it to. It starts the installation wizard, gets going, then stops.
    I'm pretty much out of ideas, it seems like a hybrid of quicktime 4 and 7 are stuck pretty well in my computer.

    Your not likely to get QT4 to install on a newer windows operating system. My guess would be the only chance of that happening would be to create a dual boot system with a older version of windows OS that is compatible with QT4.
    I'd try using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/ to remove any old QT installation files to help with the uninstall of QT
