How do I clear windows in quicktime?

When you right click the QT icon, a list of the last movies watched shows up. How do I clear this list of windows? "Open Recent- clear menu" doesn't do it. Clearing recent items in the system menu doesn't do it either. I seem to recall a way to push something and right click on the QT icon that then gives you a choice to clear windows in the popup menu, but I can't remember what it is.

don't do it.  It will make your mac slower.  If you insist:
Clear cache in Lion
Open a finder window and select “Go to Folder” in the Go menu
Type in ~/Library/Caches
This is optional, but you can highlight & copy everything to a different folder in case anything goes wrong.
Highlight everything and press CMD and Backspace
Restart your machine

    Hello.
    I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
    I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

  • How do I clear a chat window?

    How do I clear a chat window without closing the window and reopening?
    I don't want my chat contents available for people to look over my shoulder... but it is a pain to keep closing / reopening the window.
    thanks!

    That (Apple Key + h) will Hide iChat and any chat window it has open.
    Clicking on the iChat icon in the DOCK brings it Back
    Apple + Shift + w will close the front window which will also close the chat
    Apple + w will end the chat
    I don't think the last two are what you want.

  • Firefox opens as clear window in W7 64bit; same in safe-mode - how do I fix that?

    W7 64bit Firefox suddenly started opening as a clear window, only a red cross top right hand corner. Tried re-downloadiing and reinstalling and same issue.
    Tried running in safe mode
    Have restarted computer
    Can run Google Chrome (don't want to use IE so quickly got chrome) without any issues and have not changed anything on the computer before it stopped working or after.
    Last windows updates were over a week ago and firefox was working fine after that.
    I have just recently done a AV scan with threats removed but again Firefox was working after that and after many shutdown/restarts after that.
    A week prior to this issue I edited start up via MSCONFIG to stop some unwanted programs running at startup - again, many restarts and shutdowns since then with Firefox working successfully each day.

    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940393#answer-377118 from another user] we found out that this might be related to malware active on your pc. please close all firefox windows and try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|running firefox in safemode]] (by pressing the shift key while you're starting it). in firefox safemode go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove the entry named "Codec v1.0" or any other addons that look suspicious & you have not installed intentionally. afterwards see if you can run firefox normally again...

  • TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

    I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems.  I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
    I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
    Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
    When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
    I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
    But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally.  So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
    If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens.  If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
    Any idea how I can clear that message?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Further info on my question above.
    I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some. 
    I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
    Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

  • How do I clear the downloads folder?

    How do I clear the downloads folder?  I swear there used to be an option for this when I right clicked on the downloads folder that is on my bottom bar but I don't see one now.  This is making me crazy.
    Also, when I click on the bottom bar Downloads folder to display the items in the Downloads folder, I've selected it to be arranged as a fan and by the date added.  I've downloaded two copies of the same item and did this back to back because I didn't see the first download in the folder once I'd downloaded it.  I don't see the first of the two downloads unless I open the whole folder in its own window.  Shouldn't I see them both at the bottom of the list since they are the two most recent downloads?  I'd accidentally downloaded duplicate copies previously and it had displayed them in this manner.
    Please help!

    The best way to delete is just open them in finder.  Mark them all and delete.
    In the fan, you can select the sort order by right click (cntl click) the download folder and choosing "sort by" date added.

  • How do I get an embedded quicktime file to appear "activated" w/playback & volume upon opening PDF?

    I am new to adobe acrobat, and I'm using version 8.  I am trying to insert quicktime videos in a PDF File.  I have figured out how to insert the video files and embed them in the PDF.
    However, when I save the PDF, close it, and then re-open the it, the quicktime file does not appear.  If I don't use a poster image, then it is just blank where the file is, but the file is there, and when I click on the empty space where I know that it has been embedded a dialog box opens about playing it just this once, or making it a trusted file, etc.  Then it plays, and the volume and playblack controls, along with the background, are visible. (it is actually just an audio track in a quicktime file, so nothing is playing but the audio, and the background is solid black.  I have set it up so that it stays there once activated.
    What I want is for the volume and playblack controls and the black background to appear as soon as you open the PDF file, without having to click in the blank area where the file has been inserted.  This is going to be part of a portfolio that I am submitting for a school program, so I need the person that is opening it to be able to clearly see where the file is, and see the playblack and volume controls so that he can playback the file.
    So how do i get the embedded quicktime file to automatically show up in "activated" mode, with the playback and volume controls visible and ready to be used?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks...

    If the video is only linked it would reduce the file size of the pdf and it would make it accessible for people opening on a device (like iPad) which does not allow flash which must be installed with Acrobat to view embedded media.
    But I would recommend to send the people only a link to the PDF. I hate it, when my iPhone filled with useless stuff, if I would like to see it I could donwload, but as attachment make my space overfilled.

  • How do i clear the drop down menu under google and other sites like that?

    when i start typing "mac" on google for example it comes up with all the mac searches i've done how do i clear it??

    Eric,
    Open Safari and click on "Safari" (Next to "Find" in the top menu) and then click "Reset Safari..." Doing this will present you with a window asking you which things you'd like to clear. One of the options down at the bottom allows you to "Clear Google Searches." You can deselect all the options just leaving this one and click the "Reset" button. Presto... no more previous searches in Google.
    I hope this helps!

  • How do I clear words I've added to the built in spell checker?

    I accidently have added a few misspelled words to the built in spell checker. I have no idea how to reset it so that it just uses it's own words. Does anybody know how I can clear or reset the spell checker so that it just has the default words?
    Message was edited by: Mark T1

    Ashka,
    I have this same problem of needing to delete a word I added in spell checker.
    However I don't see a spelling folder in my user library. This is only my 4th day learning Mac OS moving from Windows, so please if you could walk me through to find the spelling file I would really appreciate it!

  • How do I clear the screen in text mode (cls)

    How do I clear the screen in text mode (cls)
    Thanks,

    Clearing of console is an OS specific command, so
    in case of Windows you should try:
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cls");Though it wouldn't help, because exec() will be done as a separate
    process... :)
