Dock/Quicktime issues in Leopard?

My computer is a 2.2GHz MacBook Pro with 2GB of RAM (late 2007).
Under Tiger, when I minimized a Quicktime movie into the dock, the movie thumbnail would actually be playing in the dock. On my very same computer, under Leopard, when I minimize a movie into the dock, the thumbnail is just a static image of the last frame of the movie before it was minimized. Why is this?
Also, when I play a movie in QuickTime Pro full screen after about 5 minutes the dock will appear over the movie! The only way to make it retreat again is to un-fullscreen it and then go into fullscreen mode again, but five minutes later, the dock will reappear!
Anyone know the answers to these questions?

Probably a choice made by Apple. The sound continues, the video freezes at the time of minimize.

Do you have the latest QT update?
I have read of other posters having this problem but I cannot duplicate it on my computer.
I suggest disconnecting the mouse as a test. Any slight mouse movement will force the menu to pop up. If your mouse is BT or RF, then any external RF signal such as a microwave oven or cell phone etc., can trigger a mouse event and cause the menu to pop up.

  • ITunes skipping during audio while browsing the web - Quicktime issue?

    iTunes 11.1.2 for Win 7 is skipping during playback of audio when I am browsing the web.  Is this a Quicktime issue?  I tried changing the audio output device latency but it didn't do anything different as far as skipping goes.  Any suggestions?

    Actually, that doesn't work either.  Here's the solution that is working consistently:
    Go to iTunes, and Preferences > Playback tab > Play Audio Using > Windows Audio Session instead of Direct Sound.  There we go, that works!! 

  • Hey Guys I Wanted To Know How Do I Change The Download/Install Location Of Apps I download From The Mac App Store Bac To The Dock Like In Snow Leopard?

    So Every Time I Download From The Mac App Store (In Lion) It Always Pops Up And Downloads/Installs In The iOS Feature Thing, So How Do I Change That So It Doenloads/Installs Straight 2 The Dock Like In Snow Leopard?? lol
    Specs...
    Macbook Pro (Early 2008)
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB RAM (MAXED)

    Actually it does because the Dock is Snow Leopard's program launcher. For Lion, LaunchPad is the program launcher, not the Dock. Don't like that? Here's where you complain. Otherwise, you asked and I answered.

  • Issues installing Leopard

    I have had some issues installing Leopard. I put the CD in while in Tiger I believe it was, and it came up with the screen with a big X and a button to click on to install it. It told me it needed to reboot the machine, so I let it go ahead and reboot. After the reboot it came to the gray screen with an Apple on it, and the progress meter on it that ticks around to show progress. I have left it at that screen for over 3 hours and it has made not changed. I finally just turned the machine off even though I hate having to do a hard shutdown on my computer. I then turned it back on to see what it would do, and it does the exact same thing. It stops at the progress screen and just has the progress bar spinning around.
    Any suggestions as what to do or where to go with it at this point, because I can't even turn get the disc out of the machine when I first initially turn it on.
    Any help would be useful.
    Thanks

    To eject the disk, restart your Mac while holding down the mouse button. You should then see a flashing question mark in a folder, indicating that the Mac can't find the startup disk it was set to use (in this case the Leopard installer disk), & after a few moments, a normal startup from Tiger.
    If this doesn't work, restart while holding down the Option key, wait for the Mac to search for all possible startup disks, & chose your normal Tiger one from among the icons, then click the continue arrow to boot from it.
    Some possible causes why the Leopard disk will not start your Mac:
    1. The disk is damaged -> examine it for scratches or blemishes
    2. Parameter RAM is not correctly set -> restart and immediately hold down Command-Option-P-R (4 keys), release after you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    3. The DVD drive is defective -> see if it will read another DVD (not CD)
    4. Your Mac has marginal RAM, good enough to run Tiger but not the Leopard installer -> run Apple hardware Test from your original Mac system disk set
    NOTE: some of these steps will not work as expected if you do not use a wired, Apple branded keyboard. If you have something else, please let us know.

  • Embedded Quicktime Issue

    I know someone else had a similar quicktime issue, but I
    didn't want to hijack their thread since mine is a little
    different.
    My QT videos work, they are embedded on page and play fine,
    the exception being they do not autostart as they should.
    The QT files were exported with the fast start option
    enabled. When the page loads, you can hear the video playing, but
    the screens black until you click on it or press enter as notified
    by the alert. I thought you could prevent this using the
    autostart=true parameter.
    Can someone look at this page and let me know what I am doing
    wrong.

    Works fine for me in Win FF 2.0006 with QT browser plug-in

  • Various issues since Leopard upgrade

    I have just installed Leopard on a Dual 2.7 G5 with a 500GB Hitachi HDD and 5GB RAM and I have noticed one or two niggling little 'quirks' (I am lumping everything together here, rather than separating them in to more appropriate sections, so that I have a record of everything together).
    1) I have an Epson Perfection 4870 scanner which I cannot use to scan directly from applications (for quickness I mainly use Preview) as the 'scan' button is always unavailable (greyed out, not highlighted in blue). This has been an issue since at least 10.4.8, so it's not a problem exclusive to Leopard, but it's extremely annoying nonetheless. As I can scan directly from the Epson Scan software (which is basically the driver) Epson will not assist me further and have directed me to Apple/Adobe/MS, etc., for support. Prior to 10.4.8 (IIRC) I could select 'import' (from whatever application) and it would automatically preview, the scan button would then become available and hitting it would launch the driver software. However, the link between the applications and the driver seems to have been severed somehow/somewhere and it is no longer recognising that the unit has finished its preview in order to make the 'scan' button available for the next part of the process.
    In Tiger, I could also scan into Epson's EasyScan application, but have been told this isn't 10.5 compatible.
    Does the above make sense...? Has anyone else experienced this - and have you solved it? If so, how?
    2) This next bit concerns the Dock. I like to have it hidden along the left hand side of the screen, rather than at the bottom, because I only have a 17" panel and desktop space is at a premium. However, about one restart in five, it's back along the bottom and any icons or folders that I have added to it have gone AWOL.
    3) The third issue is a sound issue. I have a Revolution 7.1 card which I understand, from reading a notice on M-Audio's Web site, is not yet Leopard compatible (though the promise it will be "very soon"' though as the last driver release didn't support anything newer than 10.4.6, IIRC, I'm not holding my breath!)
    So I have removed the card and plugged my Logitech Z5500s back into the 'on board' card. This was working flawlessly under Tiger (I know because I tested it to make sure, because I knew that the Revolution wouldn't function under Leopard). However, whatever I try, I only seem to hear sound from the internal speaker; I even replaced the optical cable (at great expense - the original was a Belkin Gold Series, and so is the replacement and, at about £35 a pop, it's not a trivial outlay). Everything in the sound sys prefs is completely 'greyed out' so I cannot change it from the internal speaker to anything else. Whilst there is nothing on Logitech's Web site as regards to the Leopard compatibility of any of its products (it seems that it gave up on the Mac a very long time ago; I use a MX510 which was the last of their rodents to have any kind of OS X support and that stopped with 10.4.4, IIRC) I cannot see how a set of speakers, which should work with anything that has the required jack sockets, can be fussy about an OS. Incidentally, I also have a 'dark side' box running XP Home (when I win the lottery, I'll buy a Mac Pro and dispense with it) and they're plugged in there and work fine (via analogue, though, not digital).
    I noticed it when I received some CDs that I'd ordered from Amazon the other day and found that iTunes was playing through the internal speaker.
    4) The final issue is a networking issue. Under Tiger, I could (though it did take me some tweaking to get it working smoothly) dump things from the G5 on to the Windoze box and vice versa, without too many hiccups. However, Leopard is proving to be somewhat of a challenge, to say the least. I don't know how I managed it, but I did manage to render the machine completely inoperable at one point (it would only boot as far as the grey 'Apple logo' screen and I couldn't open the optical drive to stick the DVD in - a panicked phone call to a friend, who runs his own Mac repair and consultancy business, followed!
    I don't understand SMB and AFP (though I do know about FTP). In the Finder, I can see the 'doze box and can send things to it (though should I be connected as 'guest'?) but there is nothing on the Windoze side, save for 'Printers and Faxes'). I have made sure I have permissions set correctly and everything is set up to share (and Windows sharing is on) but there is nothing on the other box at all.
    Is it possible to share the main HDD across, or am I limited to this silly 'Drop Box' thing (which I did have available under 'doze at one point, though it was read only and I couldn't change permissions from Leopard because I didn't have sufficient privileges, even though I have an admin account and I could change permissions under Tiger with the same level of 'clearance'.)
    4) This final issue is sort of linked with 3) as it concerns what I believe to be erroneous error messages. I was clearing some stuff off a drive I was going to use for Time Machine[1], but I wasn't allowed to delete most of it because 'XYZ was in use' or open in an application. Six reboots later, I was still receiving the same error; strikes me that Leopard's got its knickers in a knot somewhere along the line because the files in question (mainly old Word and Excel docs) were certainly NOT in use as I didn't have either installed at the time!
    [1]Though having read the problems people are having with TM (not just here, but on other forums I read/post to) I think I might give it a miss and stick with ChronoSync (just have to wait for it to be compatible).
    So, this is actually the second installation, but the problems remain - any help out there?
    Sorry for the verboseness of this, but I wanted to make sure that I'd covered everything. I'm almost tempted to reinstall Tigger (but not quite - I like Spaces, and I like the Dock Preview).
    Cheers for any assistance, folks!
    Fran

    Fran, I'm not sure I'm going to be much help for all your problems but I will attempt to answer what I can.
    1. Scanner problems - have you tried reinstalling the software? I know you mentioned that the easyscan software is not compatible but it sounds like the driver software isn't in the right place. Optionally another program that you might want to look into is vuescan. I have had good success with the program in the past but I have yet to try it under Leopard.
    2. Dock problems this sounds like either a corrupted preference list. But I don't have a clue as to why it might be reoccurring. Have you fixed permissions on your computer since installation?
    3. I don't have a clue to figure out how to fix this issue.
    4. Networking - As for sending things to the doze box. You don't need to be connected as guest. Just use the username and password that you use when you sign into the windows to sign into the windows box and you should have the same rights as you would as if you were using windows on that computer. Yes it is possible to share the main HDD but it isn't something that I would recommend. What I do recommend is creating a folder where you have both read and write rights to and then use that folder share items across both computers. If this isn't something that is going to work for then at the most I would just share your documents folder. You didn't mention how your trying view information on the windows side you should be able to browse your network and eventually find and see the mac.
    4 (part 2) - I would recommend something besides TM, it is designed to recover lost/accidentally deleted files. And isn't really designed for being your complete backup program. Yes, you can use it for that but I would recommend something more robust. Some of that comes down to how you want to define your recovery strategy. Superduper!, promotes themselves as having the ability to boot for your backup drive and being able to almost immediately get back in business. If this is a critical factor to you then I would lean in that direction. If you are just worried about having a backup of critical data files then Chronosync or some other program will work just as well. Also mentioned in your post in this paragraph is a description of "files in use" problems. A couple of things come to mind did you let spotlight finish indexing your drive before you tried deleting files? I've run into a problem similar to this in Tiger when I was deleting files while spotlight was indexing.
    One item that you didn't mention was what kind of installation you did when you installed Leopard. If you didn't do an 'erase and install" then that might be something to look into. First back up your computer before doing this. You might also want to run a permissions fix on your drive to see if that helps at all.

  • Myriad Quicktime Issues - QT 7.5 and Mac OS 10.3.9 - RTSP, VLC, etc...

    Alright, first I should describe the set-up. I have a Clamshell G3 300 running 10.3.9 on 320MB ram, accessing the INet via Airport. Overall, it runs surprisingly well. However, I've had a devil of a time getting video to load or display on QT 7.5. As I'm sure you are all well aware, an old G3 with a 4mb VRAM card simply isn't going to be competent with Flash. However (and I've used this trick on P3 Windows machines), m.youtube.com uses 240p and 360p 3gp files, which the ibook can handle without problem... when it actually gets them via RTSP. That has been very rare. I've gotten the below difficulties at home (WEP) and at school (unsecured).
    The main problem I am having is: when I load a video (and I've tried many dozens of them in both normal and high-definition format) from m.youtube.com and my browser (I've tried this with Opera 10.10, Opera 9.64, Camino 1.6.11 and G3 Optimized Camino 1.6.11, Safari 1.3.2, and Firefox 2.0.20) attempts to open the stream, I get one of several errors. No one error seems to happen any more often than the others, and once in a blue moon, I do actually get the video (or the audio from the video), but that can't be more than 1 in 20, and is usually ONLY the first video loaded in a session. Sometimes, however, the first video does not even load after a reboot.
    1. Quicktime says "configuring..." and then says "Bad Request"
    2. Quicktime says "connecting..." and then says "Disconnected"
    3. Quicktime says "reading media (countdown in s)" and then nothing happens.
    4. Quicktime says "reading media (countdown in s)" and then it begins buffering and nothing happens.
    5. Quicktime says "reading media (countdown in s)" and then begins buffering and then an approproate timebar starts indicating playback but with no video or sound.
    6. Same as #5, except only sound plays.
    7. Reloading a video will often times result in the time clicking away with no sound or video.
    8. Quicktime says "Buffering (countdown in s)" and then begins playing only audio.
    9. Quicktime says "Buffering (countdown in s" and then plays blank media, like in #5-7.
    I'm totally perplexed by this behavior. I tried 7.4.1 before this, and 6.5.2 before that, and had some problems, though I didn't stick with either long enough to really test out their relative merits, because I'd prefer to have the most updated and stable version my OS can handle. I even deleted every conceivable QT related file and reinstalled once without any change in the situation.
    I'm also having a (potentially) unrelated problem. When I try to play files with VLC 0.8.6(any of the iterations, up through , have been tried), I run into an error message: QT does not support any appropriate chroma. While this issue does not pop up in VLC 0.8.4 (which supports fewer formats), part of me suspects some problem with my QT installation is to blame for this problem. And, yes, I've noticed that my particular error message with VLC is NOT unheard of, but most there blame problematic QT installs or something with QT. Given my extreme rtsp problems, I'm inclined to agree.
    Any help would be much appreciated, and sorry for the length - just wanted to be detailed. QTKirk, come and save me!

    Thanks for that. That site must have changed how they code and deliver video over the last year, because I was able to stream it on old comps before using VLC and/or QT. However, I installed RealPlayer 10 yesterday (despite the awful memories of RP that most computer users rightfully have) and the site now works flawlessly with pretty decent quality and playback. So, all is well again. And, using an old version of mplayer (the port no longer being developed, from 2004 or 2005) instead of VLC, I'm now able to play 640p horizontal xvids smoothly!
    To your last point, I definitely disagree. I have had brand new laptops over the last 5 years, and I'm disavowing them. I'm very utilitarian, and I feel it is wasteful to purchase new laptops when most of the development is in artificially wringing out 20-40% profit margins by dint of planned obsolescence (like Tiger "requiring" firewire for installation, or Snow Leopard making G5s obsolete only 2 years after they were being sold new). I feel like I'm wasting the labor and human cost involved in researching, designing, manufacturing, and promoting top-of-the-line computers. Considering what most users need, computers today are grossly overpowered, and it would have been far more environmentally and socially responsible to develop simpler and more efficient applications for slower hardware than to push consumers into a frenzy that in no way benefits them. Using a G3 optimized port of Camino (and Opera for other tasks), Appleworks 6.2.9, etc..., this 6/7th generation processor is easily capable of handling what 80-90% of users would ever need. The only things that injure it's usefulness are arbitrary and artificial - like docX format and the huge amount of AJAX clutter slowing web access for all parties. Their benefit is anywhere from negligble to non-existent, but their cost is high to consumers.
    Put another way: I'm recycling in a very responsible way by keeping this computer alive, and I don't feel like I'm making any real sacrifice by doing so. Win-win!

  • Graphic Issues with Leopard - iMac 24" White GeForce 7300 GT

    Upon installing Leopard, I've noticed several graphics issues and general lag and delayed response with the interface. I'm running a 24" iMac 2.16ghz White early 2007, 3gb of RAM, with the GeForce 7300GT card. I have Time Machine disabled, and Spotlight has fully indexed.
    When installing Leopard, I did an "Erase and Install" and have manually installed my Applications after the Leopard install. I'm using only a few applications that are all "Leopard ready" and have a relatively clean system at this point. I have also cleaned the PRAM, per the recommendations in some of the threads ive read, which didn't seem to correct the issue in this case.
    It seems that any time I run any type of video or graphical application, such as Photo Booth, World of Warcraft, iChat, etc, I get a large amount of lag and slow response with the interface. Windows respond very slowly, and the applications freeze for 15-20 seconds. Even when not engaging any applications, opening folders in the finder as well as the dock appear to stall and respond very slowly.
    Aside from these issues, Leopard has performed very well and I have had no other issues. Quicklook and coverflow all seem to respond very quickly and smoothly. My guess is that it may be driver related as it seems to be centered around items that are engaging the video card, though it is strange how some graphical effects seem to work smoothly while others are rather choppy. I have been watching the Activity Monitor and there don't appear to be any processes that are sucking up CPU, and nothing obvious that may be reducing performance.
    I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed anything similar to this on similar hardware, or possibly may know what the culprit could be. My best guess, again, is that it could be the drivers or firmware with this specific hardware that I'm using.
    Thanks for your time

    I've had the same graphics issues with my white iMac 24 (serial no starts W8638), but with the GeForce 7600 card. AppleCare got me to do all the usual stuff (reset PRAM, clean Leopard install etc) but problems continued. The usual pattern is that after a while horizontal lines appear (usually in Safari) and things deteriorate form then on until there is so much pixellation that I have to turn off and back on.
    Yesterday I ran for several hours using SMCFanControl to set the fans to max and had no problems, so my suspicion is that the additional graphics requirements of Leopard are over-heating the graphics card or logic board.
    The Apple engineer took the machine away today and said they'll probably replace the logic board and graphics card (I think they can't change one without the other in the iMac?).
    Will be a few days but I'll report back on what repairs they make and whether they solve the problem. My fear is that any changes they make will have no effect if its a design problem and the card is just not up to the job without over-heating. Though it could be the card just needs a good clean
    Has anyone else tried increasing fan speed?

  • Dock finder issue

    Hello everyone
    Hoping I could get some help here recently I have noticed this happening more frequently.
    Using Dock to launch my applications will work fine but after a while I go to click the application to get back into the program and clicking the app on the dock will launch finder and this will happen to any application weather it's open or closed and the only way to relaunch the application is from finder itself. At this point I will reboot and the issue will fix itself I want to say that it sounds like a process is freezing but I'm unsure and hoping someone could shed so light on my issue thanks in advanced.
    Oh yeah using OSx snow leopard 10.6 latest update

    might I add this has been an ongoing issue since the install of snow leopard
    I would suggest reinstalling snow leopard. Sometimes, things go wrong when installing the operating system. I remember one time dashboard wasn't working. A fresh install fixed that. I think it was java applets that weren't working in safari. A clean install fixed that as well. You don't need to wipe the drive, but just reinstall (as in select the option that allows you to keep your data). It may fix the problem. Another thing that was suggested is that you are option clicking. When the finder opens, does it go to the applications folder with the application you clicked on selected? If this is the case the option key may be getting stuck or malfunctioning.

  • HELP: Mail issues with Leopard

    I have been having an issue with Mail since I upgraded to Leopard. I am getting the following message when I wake my Mac from sleep:
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “[email protected]” or try again. The server error encountered was: The server “mail.mac.com” cannot be contacted on port 143.
    Does anyone know why this might be happening? Mail seems to work fine otherwise...

    I had update problems with my PowerBook G4 as well. In my case the update stalled at Writing Package Receipt-it was installing 4 packages so I am not sure which one failed-but about this Mac showed 10.5.2 version-however the receipts were not anywhere -either in Software Updates/Installed Updates or in Library/Receipts/boms or in Console Logs-therefore, I concluded that the Update was only partial. I was unable to update it to completion using the independently downloaded Combo updates. So........., I restarted with the install DVD and did an Archive and Install (it reverted back to 10.5), then ran Software Update. It installed 7 items some of them relating to iTunes, iWork, iLife, QuickTime etc, including the combo 10.5.2 updater. It took an hour or two but everything finally installed. After that I ran Software Update again and it installed the Graphic Update. Now everything is fine except Permissions Verify/Repair takes quite long.

  • Strange issues with Leopard (Safari, Mail, speed)

    I have a 20" iMac (white model) which I got in March of this year. I just upgraded to Leopard (did the upgrade path with the DVD. Nothing set in options or anything special). The upgrade went fine and 10.5 seems to be running ok. There are a few issues though that don't make much sense to me and I wonder if there is something amiss with my install.
    1. Safari and Firefox both won't resolve addresses anymore. If I type in apple in the address bar it takes me to Verizon's search engine to resolve. I have to type www.apple.com to get it to go to the site. I checked my PC to see if this was something Verizon was doing and it worked fine in Firefox. Also weird is I don't use Verizon's search engine, I use Google so why is it going there? How can this be fixed?
    2. With Mail when I send an e-mail and type someone's e-mail address with some of the accounts, it will resolve their name just fine. It removes their e-mail address and just shows their short name like it's suppose to. However, not all e-mail addresses do this. Some will show me the full address. Not earth shaking mind you, but a bit of a pain. This seems to be tied to the Verizon accounts. Gmail seems to resolve ok as do other e-mail addresses. I checked the address book and it is selected to show all smart names so that is set up right and since it works for some of the addresses, I assume that is not the issue.
    3. Safari seems slow. I don't know if this is a network issues (the PC seems fine in the other room). My airport speeds look good but going to site to site seems to take a long time. Other programs seem to take just a bit longer too. Even mousing over the Dock, you notice a slight hiccup before it pops up. Nothing insane mind you, just a slight...delay. I wonder if 1GB of RAM isn't enough to really do 10.5 well. Anyone have any feedback on that? Should I bump my RAM to 2GB to get better performance? What is the "sweet" spot as far as RAM goes? Is 2GB gonna really be the best (I don't do real intense things like Final Cut Pro or things like that) or is 3GB really the best bang for the buck? Tiger was awesome on the system but now it just seems a little slower. Should I have done a wipe of the HD and installed Leopard clean? I was told there really isn't any benifit of doing that so I chose the upgrade path to keep everything in tact. Any suggestions on how to speed things up?
    Thanks for the help on all this.

    Well I have the same problem #2
    It seems that Mail will not resolve names in my address book but I can use the address button and search and select the names.
    Also it seems that my preview window will not preview some messages and it just hangs there with a "Loading..." message. But I can actually click the message and see it fine.

  • Lion quicktime issues

    I have installed OS X Lion and noticed 2 issues with Quicktime.
    1) If I quit Quicktime with cmd+q, the next time I open Quicktime my previous video is loaded again together with the new opened video. Only clicking the close button will prevent the video from re-opening itself on the next Quicktime launch.
    2) When switching to full screen mode with cmd+f the video is enlarged on the screen of my macbook and not the external screen the Quicktime windows was dragged in.
    Both of these issues used to be different in the previous version, I do not see the logic behind these changes. Is there an option that can change these behaviour issues?

    I noticed the same problem.  Did you use a Terminal command back in Snow Leopard to disable the rounded corners in QuickTime X?  I had done that, and returning it to the default fixed the unresposive controls.  Try copying and pasting the following into Terminal (without the quotes) and pressing Return:
    "defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGCinematicWindowDebugForceNoRoundedCorners 0".

  • Issues after Leopard install.

    Hi,
    I bought my intel iMac in October. It came with Tiger as the operating system. I recently upgraded to Leopard (after Apple sent me a free upgrade DVD of Leopard). Anyway, I had no problems before I installed Leopard. Since I've installed Leopard I've noticed a few 'glitches'. For example, sometimes there are horizontal lines through some of the application icons when I run my cursor over them in the dock. Also, in Safari, when I right click the mouse to open a new window...a new window won't open and the cursor jumps to the search field in Google (the webpage I already have up).
    Has this happened to anyone else? What do you think I should do? I don't really want to do an erase and install...is it easy to put all of my files back where they belong if I do an archive and install? I'd appreciate any help you may have to offer. Thanks.

    Hello, two things:
    1) In your Utilities folder>Disk Utilities>Repair Disk Permissions.
    2) Reset the Pram:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Try both of these and report back. They are harmless to your computer and can only help and possibly correct the issues,
    Ray

  • Audio Problem (Quicktime) in Snow Leopard

    Audio Problem in Snow Leopard
    After a install of Snow Leopard over the weekend, I have gotten everything smoothed out except for 1 item.
    I can not get Quicktime to install.
    I did the additional software instals that came on the DVD with SL.
    I now do not have Quicktime and can not get the new one to install.
    Here is the error I receive when I try to install it.
    "System extension can not be used /system/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext was installed impropeerly and can not be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact products vendor for an update.
    I have tried to do a complete reinstall of SL and no fix.
    I did a verify permissions and a repair permissions.
    The results are below. But I do not know what they mean.
    I have also included my system info.

    Thanks for the reply. What I mean is in 10.5, leopard, the page set up and print settings would not keep after printing the first file. Like say I'm in Preview with a .jpg open and I set the print setup to 4x6 borderless, which is a setting my wife uses a lot. If I print the file, which isn't a problem, save the settings for both page set up and printing preferences, close the file and open a different one, the preferences reset to whatever the default is.
    I've tried going into System Preferences and tooling with the Printer set up there, but there's no setting for 4x6 borderless that I can select for a default, not in 10.5.x at least.
    There were numerous threads in the 10.5 Leopard printing forum concerning this and it was an issue I hope is fixed in 10.6.

  • Quicktime Broadcaster and Leopard - no audio

    I use Quicktime Broadcaster a few times a week for a contract I have. Everything worked fine as of Friday morning. After the upgrade to Leopard, I noticed that the app would no longer encode the audio of video. This only occurs on a MacBook Pro. An old PowerBook works sort of OK, but not perfect, have some other issue as well. I booted into a back-up of my previous set-up, and all works as it should.
    Any ideas on how to fix this? I have looked everywhere, and do not see any errors in the logs to help troubleshoot. All settings look OK. I can record audio with Audacity, but not Quicktime Broadcaster.

    This does not seem to work for the live stream, only the locally archived stream has the audio. Am I missing something? A setting I am unaware of?
