Fix for Quicktime Pro crashes on Windows XP 64bit

This is for anyone experiencing crashing with Quicktime Pro when exporting, crashing with HD quicktimes in Firefox and problems with Sorenson Squeeze related to Quicktime files.
You CAN NOT run quicktime in the default "Direct X" mode on Win64. To change this, go to "Edit>Preferences>Quicktime Preferences" and click on the "Advanced" tab. Set the "video" to "safe mode (GDI only)". This fixed any crashing I had with quicktime, quicktime in Firefox, quicktime pro exporting and even fixed my problems with Sorenson Squeeze. Apple should make a note of this to users downloading for Win64. This may actually be the same case for Vista but I'm not sure.

Do you have an nVidia GeForce 8x00 video card?
If so, this appears to be more of an issue w/ nVidia's XP drivers (32-bit OR 64-bit) and you should report it to nVidia too, as they have yet to acknowledge any issues even though MANY people have this problem.
Vista works fine, though, actually!

  • I can't open Adobe files and keep getting this message: "Adobe failed to connect to the DDE server" - anyone got a fix for this? I'm Windows 7, 64bit running Office 2010 Pro Plus - anyone got a fix for this?

    Forgot to mention I'm using Firefox V.4

    Hey Jorge,
    I've checked Reader, and there are no updates. I've run a Windows version compatibility test - although it only goes up to Vista, and not Windows 7.
    Anyway, it appears I can now open Adobe files - but I've found another issue: when I right-click on a file and scroll down to the 'send to email recipient', it doesn't automatically open an Outlook email with the file as an attachment - in fact it doesn't open Outlook at all, let alone automatically?
    Any clues?

    No, the registration is specific, you'll need to get a new one.

  • I paid for Quicktime Pro but only show Quicktime. I need to rotate a movie.

    I have registered successfully with the license code they sent me after I paid for Quicktime Pro. The email from them says that I now have Quicktime Pro, but still I only show regular Quicktime, not Quicktime Pro.
    I DO HAVE A NEW DELL LAPTOP SO THIS MAY BE OPERATOR ERROR.
    I'd like to be able to rotate a movie but the directions I have don't work for regular Quicktime.
    I found directions online that tell me to open Quicktime Pro. Go to "Window". Then to "Show Movie Properties" then to the icons for rotating a movie.
    I can get as far as "Show Movie Properties" but after that there is a strange chart and nothing about rotating anything.
    How do I get the Quicktime Pro to show up instead of regular Quicktime?
    Thanks in advance for any help you may give to me.

    Thank you for responding! Unfortunately, it doesn't give me this option. When I go to "Windows" and then to "Show Movie Properties" and I click on the video, nothing happened other than it is highlighted in blue. I tried clicking once. Nada. Twice Nada. I tried right clicking. Nothing comes up. The options I have are below. Is this making any sense to you? Thanks.

  • HT3678 I have 10.7.4 Mac OS - just paid $32 for Quicktime Pro so I can convert a video file format got authorization code but cant figure how to find Quicktime let alone activate - HELP!

    Just paid $32 for Quicktime Pro so I can convert a .MOV video file format to another format - cant figure out where Quicktime is and how to activate it to Pro
    Is it the Quicktime player 7?

    I did this and copied EXACTLY my name and the activation code sent in the receipt - says invalid
    I am under a deadine for a presentation in 8 hours -
    My problem is thet a person made a montage from photos and saved it as .MOV file format and the presentation is going to be made on a flat screen TV from a USB mem card or thumb drive -
    first problem was card was FAT32 formatted - and I think I understand that for a 5GB file size that ExFAT is required and XP with patches or Windows 7 and Mac OS read this format so not a problem to format USB to be ExFAT - but the TV needs AVI or a MPx format
    suggestions???
    Thanks in advance

    I cannot get my registration to work for QuickTime Pro for Mac OS X 10.6.8 using QT 7.6.6  I have copied and pasted exactly as require (I don't have an organization).  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

    There is no QuickTime System Preferences pane in 10.6.8 or later.
    You enter the registration under the player 7 menu.

    You would have to ask Apple to get a "real" answer. This is a peer-to-peer user foum and anything we say would be pure speculation.

    Hallo!
    I have upgraded to Lion OS X 7.2 and my Quicktime pro crashes when I try to open files mp4 with MPEG-4 HE AAC V2 audio codec. It used to work fine in Snow Leopard. I removed and installed again, tried to remove Mpeg 2 codec, installed 3ivx, but still the same problem so I removed it again.
    I removed everything and installed again but still the same problem with these files.
    Anybody has got such problem?
    Any possible solution (apart open them in QT 10 and export in mov)?
    Thanks!

    and a newbie question....if I have to reinstall, where is the software to do it

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • What is the fix for the shockwave crash?  I have tried several.....

    What is the fix for the shockwave crash?  I have tried several.....
    I have win7 and firefox

    You are right — insofar as this forum is for the Shockwave Player, the plug-in for content created with Director.
    However, many years ago Macromedia decided to call their brand new player for Flash content "Shockwave Flash", presumably in an effort to piggy-back on the mind-share that Shockwave had already gained. This has caused endless confusion ever since, especially now that the Flash Player keeps crashing. Take my advice and (search then) post on the Flash Player forum — you'll see any number of threads about crashes, presumably with some recommended fixes too
