How do I stop Quicktime from stopping recording when it believes the signal is lost?

I'm trying to digitize old VHS home videos through Quicktime (latest version). But when the tracking goes a bit awry, Quicktime stops recording telling me "RECORDING STOPPED, TRY RECORDING AGAIN."
This is not true. It's just an instance of a bad part of the tape. It took me 13 days just to record one 6 hour tape because I had to start a new recording every few moments. I had hundreds of files!
How do I stop Quicktime from ending a video recording when it believes the signal is lost? Is there a way of turning this 'feature' off? If not, does Apple have a software that will do what I'm asking? Final Cut Pro X or something else?
Thank you!

Here is a screenshot of the error. As you can see, I got a full 4 seconds of video recorded before Quicktime X believed the signal was lost (just a bit of off tracking).

    It could be that you have Restore Windows turned on system preferences>General. If that's not it, go to system preferences>users and groups>your account>log in items and make sure it's not in there.

    ** on the bookmarks toolbar
    **on the sidebar
    **in the firefox bookmarks library
    * on a drop down menu from the location bar

  • I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

    I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

    This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
    It constantly gets harder.

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.
    Nathan
    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if

    The app (Excel) is in the dock. When I left click on it there is no check next to open at login.
    Lets go back to the beginning when I installed ms office both word and excel were in the dock. then one day excel dissapeared. I put it back in the dock and that is when it started opening during login. There is only one X showing in the dock.
    Maybe I have little gremlins.

    You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

  • How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

    How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
    When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • TS1717 When I am trying to preview a song in iTunes store, the song quits after about 10 seconds. Is this an iTunes problem, or how do I fix it from stopping?

    When I am trying to preview a song in iTunes store, the song quits after about 10 seconds. Is this an iTunes problen, or how do I fix it from stopping?

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

  • How to stop MG3520 from dropping image when fit to page is checked

    How can I stop MG3520 from cropping image when fit to page is checked?

    Hi Keithlad,
    You will want to make sure that the paper size selected in the printer driver is the same size as the paper that you have loaded in the printer to ensure that the image prints correctly.   When the paper size selected in the printer driver is smaller than the actual page size, the page image will be reduced.  When the paper size selected is larger, the page image will be enlarged.

  • How do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?

    how do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?
    programs such as.. email and Skype.
    When i go to system preferences, then users & groups, then to my name, log in items ....this box is clear, i have unchecked everything, yet things still start up......

    sometimes these applications will have a setting in the preferences to not open on login of computer. If you see none of that, you can go into:
    system preferences> Users & Groups > Select your user>Login Items.
    unlock the settings by hitting the lock icon on the bottom left of the window then youll be able to uncheck these things from opening when you log in.
    Hope this is helpful or answers the question.
