Here is a solution to the Quicktime 7.1.5 Update conflicts - it works!

Any program that is having a problem since the Quicktime 7.1.5 Update should benefit from reverting back to QT version 7.1.3 . My TurboTax works again, because I downgraded to QT 7.1.3 .
You can't manually remove all of the files necessary to uninstall QT 7.1.5. Don't even try.
Don't uninstall and re-install your programs. It is a waste of time, and will not fix the problem.
You can choose to re-install the operating system, and it should work. It is not necessary, though, and is a hassle.
This is how you can easily downgrade QuickTime 7.1.5 to version 7.1.3:
1. Download Quicktime 7.1.3 installer:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime713formac.html
2. Mount the installer package (Double click QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg so that it opens and shows the open box icon labeled QuickTime713.pkg). This is very important.
3. Download and install Pacifist from this location:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
4. Open Pacifist (You can do so without going through the registration process. You can do that later if you decide to pay.)
5. Drag the QuickTime713.pkg icon to the Pacifist dialog box. When you release it, another window opens with a list of files. The top file is labeled "Contents of QuickTime713.pkg."
(Please note that if you mistakenly select the unmounted .dmg file into Pacifist instead of the .pkg, there will be an installation but without an effect. )
6. Click to highlight "Contents of QuickTime713.pkg."
7. Go to the "File" Menu in the Menu Bar and choose "Install Files to Default Locations" from the pulldown menu.
A dialog box will open asking if you want to install entire contents. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
8. Be sure to check the box that says "Use Administrator Privileges" if it is not already checked.
9. Click "Install" and carefully read any further instructions as they pop up. You will respond with the equivalent of YES every time, even if asked to replace every file for QuickTime. Take your time, and don't assume that you know what the instructions say without reading them.
10. When the install process is finished, restart the computer. You are through with Pacifist, so don't open it again (unles you decide to Register and pay).
11. Once again, open QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click QuickTime713.pkg to do a normal installation one more time. After the install is done, restart your Mac one last time. That's it.
By the way - NEVER keep your tax return data file in the same folder as the TurboTax application. You might accidentally delete it when uninstalling TurboTax. Put it in a folder with your other tax prep documents.
It took me approximately one hour from the time I started downloading QT 7.1.3 and Pacifist until I was completely finished and using TurboTax again. I have a 400 Mz PowerPC Sawtooth G4, so your time may be better. Good luck!
Oh, and don't forget to pay for Pacifist. They deserve it!

10.4.x that are unrelated to the fix for the 10.3.9 users that I posted.

The new Adobe Flash Player update don't work on my mac

The New Adobe Flash Player update doesn't work on my mac pro tower!!!! i've tried to reboot it and uninstall and restall it!!!!

I have the same problem. OS X 10.9.2 and Firefox 28. When I tried to go back to 12, I realized it is no longer available, I can only get 13, which leaves my pages blank.

Hello?!? Any Apple Geniuses here that can help with the QuickTime.....

....problems being experienced by owners of QT Pro??? It started with the latest 'update'.
See this thread for what the problem is: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4662627#4662627
In the meantime, is there a way to completely delete the app so that a fresh OLDER version can be installed? The new one sure as __ does not work at all.

"You might wonder, "What do I do with the Previous System folder?" It may contain items that you need. To determine this, once you've finished configuring, installing, and updating your applications, compare the Previous System to the new System. If there are things in the Previous System folder that aren't in the new System folder, just copy them over. If you're not sure what some items are (and don't seem to need them), leave them in the Previous System folder. Once you're comfortable that you've got everything you need out of it, you can delete the Previous System folder (or leave it around if you're not low on disk space).

What is up with the Quicktime 7.2 upgrade, it DOES NOT WORK!

Quicktime 7.2 Internet Plug-In does not work with Safari? I am very up to date with all the upgrades to maintain security, and this most recent "upgrade" while may be plugging a security hole for the iPhone does not maintain past functionality. I have searched and done most if not all the suggested fixes (repairing permissions, removing Internet Plug-Ins, installing most up to date flash player, un checking Flash Media MIME setting, even forcing Safari to load w/ Rosetta) and am very disappointed with having to force Safari into Rosetta and shocked to hear the suggestion to abandon Apple altogether and use Firefox. I am using Safari to get away from Netscape and third party software to AVOID conflicts. Worse Firefox does in-fact work making me doubt its' security for internet banking.
When is Apple going to FIX this Quicktime Update so that it works?!

Same here. I don't have in Intel Mac, so it's not a Rosetta issue. I've patiently followed every tip I've read in many discussions. Reinstalled Quicktime. Installed Flash 9 Upgrade. Changed Quicktime settings (unchecked enable flash, unchecked Flash Media under MIME settings). Trashed Quicktime preferences.
However in Safari, on upon trying to open any movie trailer on the Quicktime web site
http://www.apple.com/trailers/
or even watch the iLife 08 guided tour
http://www.apple.com/ilife/guidedtour/small.html
I get a Quicktime logo with a question mark. In Firefox (which I've also reinstalled) it quits unexpectedly when trying to open a movie trailer. In my own experiments, I've opened another admin account on my computer and when I log in there, everything works fine. You say "well just use that account then", that would mean me having to transfer all my files to the other account which I don't want to do unless someone has a really quick way to do so. Also, in checking the system preferences for Quicktime under both accounts, I don't see any difference. Both accounts are accessing the same software from the root level Applications folder, so why does it work in one account and not the other? Someone help, as I don't think I can read another 10 page discussion on this.

The 2.1.3 Software update won't work, the new version of iTunes won't download. Please help.

For several months now I have not been able to find a solution to either of these two problems. When I have the Apple Software Update program open and I click update, it loads for a second and then goes back to the usual page saying to update. It will not update. I have also tried, multiple times, to install the new current version of iTunes and that won't work either. I've tried to repair iTunes by going to Control Panel > Programs > Repair and it still won't work. Please help because I'm trying to download a new app but it requires the new version of iTunes. I am using a Windows Vista and I'm this is for my 4th generation iPod touch.

Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

HT4757 Can the digital camera RAW compatibility update 3.13 work for iPad?

Trying to transfer photos from my Nikon 3200 to iPad using the camera kit. Can the digital camera RAW compatibility 3.13 update work for iPad? Attempts to download it directly to iPad sends it to Evernote and then message comes up that synchronization failed. Not a tech geek by any means so if you can help, please explain as simply as possible. Thanks much.

45 views and no replies? Isn't there anyone that can answer if I need this update or not or is my question not clear? Does anyone else have a similar question relating to the Digital Camera Raw compatibility update 3.11?

Finally Found a Solution to the Missing Palettes/No Screen update problem!

Ever since CS3 came out, Photoshop and Illustrator in particular (the worst offenders) wouldn't run properl
y on my system unless I did a full reboot before running either. Photoshop would load, but all palettes would be empty. Illustrator would forget t
o update the client area of the screen. Neither application was useable in that state. I have complained about it before, to no avail.
Now I have found the fix: Increasing the User Handle and GDI handle limits in Windows.
Here's an article on how to do this:
Increasing User Handle and GDI Handle Limits
Have you ever been working with a good number of applications at once? Are you a naturally born multi tasker? Alright, answer me this - who has had Windows buckle under the weight of all of these applications and display error messages stating that the system is out of memory or out of resources, buttons and menus do not work correctly, or you get an error sound but no message on the screen? I’ve hit this numerous times, to the point that I’ve lost work because of it…
(By the way, Adobe, can you please implement that little feature that Microsoft Office has had for years known as “auto save”? I don’t know how many times I’ve managed to completely max out Windows designing a web site and have had Photoshop fall over dead and disappear off my screen, only to find out that when I open Photoshop up again that the entire thing saved jack-all, all of those layers and documents gone poof into the void of darkness… if Microsoft can do it, why can’t you?)
Sometimes this happens even when you have a lot of system memory (RAM) still available. For instance, open up Internet Explorer and hold Ctrl+N to open up as many Internet Explorer windows as you can before menus, icons, and menus start displaying incorrectly, disappear, buttons aren’t clickable, etc. Close a few out and check your Windows Task Manager in the “Performance” tab, I bet you will find that a lot of your Physical Memory is still available.
This publication applies to:
    * Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
    * Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
    * Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
    * Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    * Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    * Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
    * Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
    * Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
DISCLAIMER: mikedopp.com and mikedopp hold no responsibility or liability whatsoever should something go wrong, or if you incorrectly modify the Windows Registry. Please take extreme caution while following this publication and follow the steps correctly.
“Okie-dokie, if I have all of this memory still available, why is Windows saying I’m out of memory and out of system resources!?”
Simple. You have hit the “user handle” or “GDI handle” limit in Windows. This limit is there for two reasons:
    * Leaky applications or faulty code & malware can’t easily crash the system by attempting to overflow the system with GDI handles, making everything un-usable until a reboot is performed.
    * To prevent a user from opening up more applications than the system can handle.
If you have 1 gigabyte (or 1024MB) of RAM or higher, the default User Handle and GDI Handle limits can be pretty restrictive when running a large working set of applications that demand the most from your system and tax it heavily.
“Do you feel my pain?”
Yes, of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be writing this article that is more than likely a good 2 or 3 pages in length.
I’m a designer and coder, I use Adobe Photoshop with a lot of documents opened up - on top of that, I usually listen to music while working as it helps me work better, so Windows Media Player 10 is usually open on my machine. Also opened are Windows Messenger, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, SmartFTP (one of the best FTP clients I’ve ever used, highly recommended), Microsoft Word, a few dozen Internet Explorer windows, some Mozilla Firefox windows with a few tabs opened in each one, and EditPlus 2 for coding.
That’s a pretty heavy working set of applications, and I demand the most out of my computer when it comes to multitasking (I have a Pentium 4 2.66GHz, with 1.5GB of RAM just for those who are wondering).
I too have nailed these handle limits - more than once. After much searching and pondering I have finally come up with a working solution around this issue (hurray!)
“Yeah yeah, stop rambling and cut to the chase!”
First and foremost, I must warn you that modifying these settings incorrectly can render your Windows installation near useless. Also, depending on your computer configuration and the amount of RAM in your system, you may wish to play around with the numbers until you find a setting that is perfect for your computer.
To back up everything, open the Registry Editor (click on Start, Run, and then type “regedit.exe” (without the quotes).
To backup a registry key:
    * In the Registry Editor on the left hand side, you will see the navigation pane. Using your mouse or keyboard, navigate to the following subkeys:
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
    * Right click on each of the subkeys above in the left hand pane and from the context menu that appears, choose the “Export” option. Save the exported registry data file where ever you wish, but make sure that it will be accessible should we need to restore the files.
“OK, I’ve backed everything up! Now what!?”
Don’t quit the Registry Editor just yet - we still need to make some modifications in order to increase the handle limits in Windows.
With the Registry Editor opened, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems. You will notice a set of “REG_MULTI_SZ” and “REG_EXPAND_SZ” keys in the right hand pane. The one that we are interested in modifying is called “Windows”.
To modify the key, double click on it. It should look something like this:
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,3072,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16
The section of this string we are interested in modifting is “SharedSection”.
In the SharedSection part of the string you will notice 3 numbers. What we are interested in is the middle value, “3072?. Modify this value so that the middle number is “8192?.
It should look something like this after modifying the value:
   %SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,8192,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16
Now that we’ve changed this, lets continue, shall we?
In the left hand pane of the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows. In the right hand side, you will see two REG_DWORD values, named “GDIProcessHandleQuota” and “USERProcessHandleQuota”. We will need to modify both of these.
The first key we will want to modify is “GDIProcessHandleQuota”. This keys value can be set between 256 and 16,384 (maximum), and the default value is 10,000. I’d recommend using 15,000 as a value for this key, however if you are doing a lot of multitasking, shoot for the stars and go with 16,384.
This key can not be set past 16,384 as it is the maximum acceptable value.
Now, lets modify “USERProcessHandleQuota”. This keys value can be set between 200 and 18,000 (maximum), with a default value of 10,000. I’d recommend increasing this value to the same number used with “GDIProcessHandleQuota”, however as previously mentioned if you are working with a hefty application workload, shoot for the stars and go wth the maximum value of 18,000.
This key can not be set past 18,000 as it is the maximum acceptable value.
Do NOT attempt to increase these values past the maximum - Windows will become very unstable and may even stop working correctly. If Windows starts acting up after changing these values, lower them until the issues are resolved, or restore the backups of these keys’ values that we created before making modifications.
Now that you’ve changed these values, restart your computer and tax the system using the Internet Explorer trick mentioned previously - open Internet Explorer and hold down Ctrl+N on your keyboard to open up new Internet Explorer windows. Continue this until menus, buttons, and user interface elements stop working correctly. Also, open any applications you run day-to-day while you are performing this, so that you can get more of an idea if you have everything configured correctly.
You may also want to monitor your memory usage and handles information in Task Manager to see whether or not the above registry values need any more modifications.
I hope this helps with any multi-tasking issues you may have run into while running Microsoft Windows, now get back to work!

You work like I do. It's very cool that you published this fix for XP people, but yow, what a lot of detailed things to check/set! Seems like it might just be simpler just to move up to Windows 7...

Interesting. How much is accomplished in the 8bi file without reference to camera-specific profiles? There are some camera profiles that appear to have been added in acr updates. for example there is a folder <Canon EOS 70D> in <C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera> (win 7) that contains five profiles (Faithful, Landscape, Neutral, Portrait and Standard). Would acr be able to process 70D raw image files without these profile files?

Some websites are not loading the page correctly, previously before update it was working correctly

after last update, some of the websites not working properly.
i am frustrated

First, try to update to Firefox 11, it does have alot of security fixes and other bugs.
Then, if you still are having other issues, read [[Websites look wrong]], does that help?

Can the iOS 5.0.1 update for iphone work on my ipod touch?

Is was woundering if you could use the same iOS 5.0.1 update for iPhone on your iPod??

No, it will not. It must be the version specifically for the iPod Touch. On top of that you must have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch in order to even install iOS 5 onto it.

Has anyone found a solution to the poor battery life in Mavericks?

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has found a reliable solution to the poor battery life after updating to Mavericks. I tried to have the Mac shutdown by letting it go all the way dead and then charge it back up but it still is lousy. To literally see the battery guage go down in such a short period of time is surprising as I didn't have this in my previous OS. My machine is a five month old Macbook Pro Retina. I want to say I started seeing this change after installing the last Mail update for Mavericks. I definitely didn't encounter it after the initial update to Mavericks.
Thoughts, comments, ideas?
Ed

Read through the posts on the right side of the page under 'More Like This'. Several fixes have been mentioned amongst them. But as there was an issue in Mountain Lion that was rectified with an update then it may just be a case of waiting to see if Apple issue a solar update for Mavericks. Remember it has only been out two weeks so I would doubt that if there is an update coming for it that they would release it without thorough testing.
Cheers
Pete

I've found a solution to the problem Dictation in Mountain Lion

hi
yes I've found a solution to the problem Dictation in Mountain Lion and it work with me now :
you will find in :
and dont forget delete file name : com.apple.assistant.plist
and rustart your computer .
i hope it help alot of people ..
abdulla - dubai - .

I have the dictation up and running in a new version of Pages but it just keeps running and running and not doing a thing. I could have typed my sentence 5 times by the time I waited for anything to happen.
I have used Dragon on the iPad and it is amazing. Seems that the iOS platform for the new iPad makes dictation a breeze. A world different than trying to make it work on a laptop device using Mountain Lion.
I think there are kinks to be worked out. Looking forward to an update

After installing the QuickTime 7.1 update your Mac freezes when rebooting

Version Cue, which was installed with the Creative Suite 2, isn't compatible with the QuickTime 7.1 update. Apple has now posted QuickTime 7.1.1 to addrss the problem.
Reboot your Mac in Safe Boot Mode by holding down the shift key when restarting the Mac. Then under the Apple menu go to Software Updates and download and install the QuickTime 7.1.1 update.
Please note that Version Cue isn't supported on Intel-based Macs and you will see the version Cue icon crossed out in the top right corner of the menu bar.

my iphone 5 also has the same problem when i text :( plz help

A simple fix to the "No Content" error after updating to iOS 4.2.1.

I had the same problem that others are reporting after updating an iPhone to iOS 4.2.1 where all of my media disappeared. However I don't currently have access to my PC to sync with iTunes but have posted a really simple fix that worked for me here:
http://vextasy.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/a-very-simple-solution-to-the-iphoneipod -4-2-1-update-no-content-problem/
The advantage of this fix is that it doesn't need you to use iTunes which was important for me as I am currently away from my PC. I fixed my iPhone this way and I suspect the same would work on an iPod Touch or iPad.

You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

Here is a solution to the Quicktime 7.1.5 Update conflicts - it works!
