Cant get quicktime to always open media files
I'm a very new Mac OS user so forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere or I'm just dumb and don't know what I'm doing.
I'm trying to get some media files (WAV for example) to always open with QuickTime instead of iTunes. When I do Open With, Other, and select QuickTime and check Always Open With, it only changes that files association, not every WAV file.
When I right click and do Get Info, the Change All button never un-grays. As before, I can only change the association of that one file.
The QuickTime panel is set properly but I believe that only refers to the plugin. I've looked thru iTunes but can only find a button to make it the default player, not a way to un-make it the default.
Any suggestions??
Zach
Hello Zach:
Rather than me put you through hoops, I suggest you post in the Quicktime forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=122
There are people there that are expert (I am not one) with the QT application.
Barry
P.S. There are no dumb questions, but many dumb answers.

How to get Quicktime to always open full screen?
If I click a video file I want to watch it. So I have a script to get it to play straight away, but how do I get quicktime to go full screen when a video file is loaded?
Command-f after the file has opened.
Use QuickTime Player Pro to set the movie "Presentation" properties to have the file open at full screen at launch. -
QuickTime 6.5.2 won't open media files......
I just downloaded and installed QuickTime 6.5.2 and it will not open media files. Just gives me the old broken film icon with the Apple symbol in it. Anyone got any suggestions? I am running Win98 on a 2 Ghz Athlon based machine. Got half a gig of SDRAM and a fairly good video card. Not a geek, so, I need some suggestions. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Plain Jane, Athlon 32 Windows 98QuickTime has always maintained backward compatibility and files made in version 3 Pro will still play just fine with version 7.
But times change and, with QuickTime version 7 a new video codec (H.264) was introduced.
This codec is not supported by older versions and most online media has been using it for over a year. So not much of any "new" content will be viewable on a Win 98 machine.
It really is time to consider updating your OS (and maybe your PC, too) if you want to view newer QuickTime content. -

I have just transferred elements 11 to a new windows 7 64 bit computer using the original purchased disc. Organiser is working fine and all my photos are there, but I cant get the Editor to open. It just says editor workspace is loading and then it eventually gives up.
Try opening directly from your desktop, by passing the welcome screen.
Go to Windows Explorer>C drive>Program Files (x86)>Adobe>Photoshop elements 11. Right click, then Send to>Desktop
Double click on the shortcut and see it will open. -
After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.
and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

i just made a movie in iMovie and exported in MP4 format, now it won't open, error message says quicktime can't open the file ***? Anyone?
I have the same problem. I'm using Mavericks OS and latest iMovie. Both downloaded last week. I save the movie into File (as directed) and QuickTime
will not open. I'm then directed to a page of formats which are supposed to be supported on which is .mp4. Any tips? -

I have the error message "Not enough storage. Cannot backup, not enough backup space in ICloud . . . ", but now the "close" and "settings" buttons don't respond and I cant get the IPad to open so I can go change settings. What do I do?
For a "hard" restart of your iPad just press the home and power button at the same time and hold it for at least 10-15 sec. until it restarts.

reloaded Photoshop CS5 (New Machine) and now it won't open, get a message "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available", so pS won't go any farther.
If prefs are the same as Settings on a MAC, OK, it would have been more
clear to me if you had said Settings since I didn't see anything related to
prefs. On a PC, I know what you mean, On a MAC, wasn't sure.

Why Cant get my Organizer to open on Photoshop elements 12 on my mac OS 10.6.8
Why Cant get my Organizer to open on Photoshop elements 12 on my mac OS 10.6.8
Pse 12 isn't officially supported on mac os x 10.6.8, but your able to install it.
Mac os x doesn't have some of the updated/newer os features that the pse 12 organizer requires but the editor part seems to work fine.
Also, camera raw 8.3 is the last camera raw version that will work on os x 10.6.8 and newer versions of camera raw or the dng converter won't be compatible accoording to what adobe has said so far.
more info in this post:
http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/08/pse-12-and-older-operating-systems/
If your os x 10.6.8/computer is able to upgrade to mavericks os x 10.9, then you'll be able to use the pse 12 organizer, but if you have any programs that require rosetta to run you won't
be able to use them any longer, because after snow leopard macs can't use rosetta -

When I try to install Firefox, I get a "can not open output file" error. I was using Firefox before and it stopped working, so I uninstalled. Cannot re-install now.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I tried to download firefox. ==

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; AntivirXP08; GTB6.3; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; MS-RTC LM 8)When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you. -
