Having trouble with quicktime vids.
I had a subscription to ghost hunters season 3 over itunes, and just recently a few more episodes have come through. I've got a mac and a windows desktop and usually i watch it on one of those, but i have tried to use my laptop before, and it wont work right. I did the thing that makes it so my laptop can view it (because only 5 comps can watch subscription videos), but for some reason it just runs ungodly slow. my laptop is an hp pavilion dv 6000 with a dual core amd running at 2 GHZ per core and 2 gigs of ram. I always use quicktime to play these videos. is there something I can do to speed this up?
Open the QuickTime Control Panel on the "slow" machine and click the Advanced tab.
Switch to "Safe mode" for the video, quit and relaunch QuickTime and try the file again.

Having trouble with quicktime. Help please.
A while ago, maybe a few months actually. My quicktime stopped working so i uninstalled it and installed it again. Now whenever I go to a website where I need quicktime to see videos, I only hear the audio (e.g Apple websites, guided tour videos, audio only). What can I do to fix this problem.
These forums can somtimes be helpful, but after a lot of reading in this case, I'm stumped.
No help starting, then quitting GarageBand, no help setting MIDI audio output to 44100 Hz (it was already there), no help reinstalling QT 7.0.4, no help rolling back to QT 7.0.1, no help shutting down all other applications when running QT. OS is current, with no more available updates. The video I edited on this same computer using Quicktime and posted on putfile plays fine on my (gasp) older PC running Windows QT 7.0.4.
As a loyal Macintosh owner since 1984 (my family currently has 7 working Macs, 3 iPods and 1 PC), I have the sinking feeling Apple seems to be becoming less unique and more microsoft like over time. While MS isn't up to the level of Apple yet, the gap seems to be closing. I don't want to know how to change my audio settings, repair permissions or do anything not directly related to the task at hand. I'm getting tired of paying for "upgrades" that aren't, including the new iLife suite and the QT 7 pro key I recently bought.
How do we report this issue? I encourage everyone who is having problems with Quicktime videos stuttering, dropping video or audio to report this so that Apple will be made aware and held responsible.

I was wondering if anyone had any solutions to not being able to access internet files requiring quicktime, but still being able to play files off the hard drive?
Every page with QT content?
What browser are you using and are its plug-ins "enabled"?
What version of QuickTime are you using? -
I'm having trouble with the MTS MT2S convertor.
I’m having trouble with the MTS MT2S convertor. On my video camera (I have a Panasonic HC-V500 full HD 1920x1080) I’ve recorded in HD and when I use the MTS convertor to change the file type I select the HD option it’s a quicktime .mov file type and when it has finished converting the quality of the video goes to a lower quality and the colours aren’t vibrant like shown on the original recording on my camera. It also looks slightly grainy. So my question is which HD file type should I be choosing? As I no there’s a few but unsure which is best to use. I have also changed quality to original and didn’t make a difference on the quicktime .mov file type. I wasn’t sure if theres anything else on there I’m meant to be adjusting? As the software didn’t come with any instructions on how to use it. Just to mention i upload my videos to youtube so i want them to be in HD but i use iMovie as my editing software before i upload to youtube and i no avi file format isn't supported in iMovie.
Its a 64 bits.

i am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?
Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo -

Hi, i am having trouble with my mac mail account, i cannot send or receive any emails because of the server connection problems. Message says it could not be connected to SMTP server. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' <br />
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.<br />'''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' <br />These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />

I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet. It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
But yesterday, after a power up. my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more. And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
no ethernet available.
As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD. (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
The ethernet worked! But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
Now the Ethernet is not working again. I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
Is this a problem seen by others?
Would going to Lion fix the problem?
Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
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.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again. -
I am having trouble with my links/websites having images attached to them. The place where the image should be is blank. For example, AARP has an A for its image. My storage website has a blank broken box where the image should be. I forgot I had trouble and had to reset Foxfire, this problem occurred after that reset.
cor-el,
Mixed content normally gives the world globe image, unless you are using a theme that uses a broken padlock instead. Maybe the gray triangle means invalid? I came across that in a few themes (what is invalid was not made clear), but those were not using triangle shapes to indicate that.
I came across that mention in one of the pages you posted:
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Site+Identity+Button
I cannot attach a screenshot because I have not seen a triangle of any kind in my address bar. -
I have been having troubles with this for months and am extremly tired of not being able to download my songs. I bought these songs off of Itunes as well, so I really hope i can retrieve them. I do not know where to find a personal apple support person yet, does anyone know where to find one on the website?

I am having trouble with iMessage being activated. It has worked up until yesterday and now won't activate and is saying no address in the send and receive section. My number is there but not ticked. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have shut down my phone, but still no luck!
iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.
I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps. This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related. All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting". I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement. The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup. I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on. There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available). Any suggestions on what to try next?
Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

In Mail, I am having trouble with my cursor. When making revisions to what I have already typed, the cursor doesn't "land" where I "click" it to be. It seems to land somewhere below the spot I click on. It seems to have a mind of its own.
