How to disable Quicktime but keep iTunes usable

Hi, thanks to anyone for looking at this...maybe you can help. I spend a lot of time on the US Patent and Trademark Office website, and to view patents filed online you need a special TIFF viewer, which I have. Quicktime, once installed, overrides it as the TIFF viewer which I hate because it gives no print options or sizing, save, zoom, etc. as my other TIFF viewer does.
I've tried opening the Quicktime preferences menu and basically disabling all streaming or web options, and then disabled it from the Internet Explorer add-ons menu and enabling my other TIFF viewer, but as long as Quicktime is installed I cannot view the TIFF files except with Quicktime.
Hope someone can help...I miss using iTunes! (won't work without QT).

In QT settings have you tryed unchecking the TIFF preferences listed in File Types and in Browser Mime Settings? Also try right clicking on a TIFF that is on the computer, go to properties, where it shows Opens with: click on the change button and choose the media program that you want to handle the file.

    How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

    Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types.  You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer.  When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right.  Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right.  Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad.  I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD.  works very well.  Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store).  Works about the same.
    You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there.  I do that all the time with my iPhone.  Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

    Try here first >  Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you can't resolve the issue on your own, call Apple or schedule a call >   Apple - Support - Solutions
    Keep in mind, this is a user to user forum. You are not communicating directly with Apple here. No one here can fix your Apple iD.

  • Want to remove quicktime and keep Itunes

    Hi all -
    Quicktime on Windows is one the worst pieces of software I have ever experienced. I just want it removed from my pc, but the problem is that I like Itunes, and Itunes requires Quicktime to run. Is there a way around this?
    I have to remove Quicktime because it somehow keeps hijacking my file associations and it breaks flash (read: youtube) every time it does this. After editing Quicktime Preferences this fixes it, but for some reason Quicktime grabs the associations again after every Apple update, which is annoying as ****. Is there any way to remove it and keep Itunes working??

    iTunes needs Quicktime to run. The earliest version of Quicktime that the latest version of iTunes will work with is 7.1.6. I'm currently using Quicktime 7.3.1. I can't watch some videos from the iTunes store, but music plays fine which is all I need. Using 7.3.1 also means some vulnerabilities won't be patched. I don't go to sketchy Web sites, and I always use a regular user account for daily computing instead of an Administrator account.

  • Can install Quicktime but not itunes

    I can get quicktime to run on my computer but not itunes. I get a "installation interrupted" message. Any suggestions?

    I have tried uninstalling it and re-installing using a different browser (Internet explorer rather than Firefox) but that didn't seem to make any difference. I've got both Quicktime & itunes running on the netbook just fine, but I'm ready to toss my pc out the window.
    I would be so grateful for any help. Thanks.

  • Disable account but keep e-mail visible

    Hey guys & girls
    I'm using the latest Mail app for my emails and until now I've been using POP3 account. I have loads of e-mails and also sent items, which i need to keep.
    Just today however I did an IMAP account. From now on, i will use this one instead. However I need to jump back and worth to see e-mails i have recieved yesterday and so on. If I disable the account in prefs, it will remove it from the view. If I enable it, for some reasons, all the emails sent will be using this old account. I can not change this so it would use the new IMAP account.
    Just to make sure, I have the same e-mail address, just changed POP3 to IMAP.
    Is there a way ti disable the account (no more checkin mails and using it to send mails) but keep my inbox and sent items still visible?
    thanks!

    Is there a way ti disable the account (no more checkin mails and using it to send mails) but keep my inbox and sent items still visible?
    Yes, but it does involve some work.
    First, you need to move (not copy) the folder for that POP account to your Desktop. Then, in Mail's preferences, delete that POP account entirely. Now you can setup the account as IMAP (although I think you'll regret that in the long run) and let it retrieve whatever email is currently there.
    Next, you need to go to File->Import Mailboxes… and navigate to and select the folder that contains the POP mailbox for the messages you want to import; for example: /Desktop/[email protected]/INBOX.mbox/Messages and click Choose to proceed with the process.
    When that's done, you'll have an 'Imported' mailbox in Mail, after which you need to create your own new mailbox for those old messages from your Inbox and label it Old Inbox, or something to that effect. Then go to the Imported mailbox and Select All messages in there and drag them onto the icon for the new mailbox you just created for them; they should now all be moved into that mailbox.
    Now you can go back and import the other mailboxes (Sent, Drafts, Deleted, etc if you like) one-at-a-time, stopping after each one to create a new mailbox for them and moving the messages into them before proceeding with the next one.
    When you're done with that, you can delete the 'Imported' folder(s), then quit Mail and restart it to see if everything is still the way you want it to be. If so, then you can delete the POP account folder you moved to your Desktop previously.

  • Disable hotkeys but keep navigation

    I have an IdeaPas S300 and I really don't like/use the hot keys. The BIOS does allow for disabling this feature but then my Home/End/PgUp/PgDn also get disabled and are replaced by mostly useless Pause/Break/ScrLck/Insert keys.
    Is there a way to disable the function (F1..F12) hot keys but keep the navigation?
    Thanks

    Dear Customer

  • Downloading selected playlists to phone, but keeping iTunes Match functionality?

    I did look around for the answer to this, but found nothing that answered the question specifically. 
    I have an extensive music collection by most standards.  It's about 180gb and "weeded" out to eliminate the bad songs.  I have it organized into playlists that I listen to almost exclusively, as the collection is too large to just hunt and find stuff when you just want to hear music.  I essentially do a genius playlist and save it as a new one to listen to. 
    I travel a lot to places without cell service, and that is where I listen to music essentially 100% of the time.  Out on the river on a boat for example.  iTunes match is horrible for this, as I found out the first try, and had to dig out CD's to get me through the trip. 
    I have paid for iTunes match, and listen to iTunes Radio primarily at the house every day streaming from the phone.  Works great.  Because of the lack of coverage though, I need to download my music onto the phone and keep it there, which has required me to shut off iTunes Match on phone.  This turns the radio into a commercial machine though.  Even though I own iTunes Match, if I don't have it enabled on the phone, it acts like I don't have it and I get commercials. Weak. 
    Lastly, I have downloaded the music onto my phone, turned on iTunes Match once downloaded (someone elses solution) and it deleted it as soon as I synced my phone again
    How do I download say 50gb of music onto my phone and have it not delete it as soon as it syncs again? 

    There are two methods to get large amounts of music onto your iPhone.
    1. Turn off iTunes Match, sync the music via USB, then re-enable the service. The music shouldn't actually be deleted. The service isn't supposed to work that way.
    2. Download the playlist to your iPhone via Wi Fi while on your home network.

  • Remove Duplicate Music Files, But Keep iTunes Copy

    How can you remove duplicate copies of music files on your hard drive but be sure to keep the one iTunes is using and keeping the iTunes Library intact?
    I have hundred of duplicate music files, using a tool like CleanGenius or others I can get a list of duplicate files, but I do not want to break iTunes Library and only want to remove the duplicates that are not being used in iTunes.

    I have the same issue. If I have a file in my music folder and then click on it and it opens in itunes it creates a duplicate file in my itunes library. Besides sorting in finder and deleting one by one based upon folder location is there a less mind numbing way to accomplish this task.
    Or do I have to pay the $10 for a program like Gemini?

  • How to disable Quicktime......

    Hello,
    When i download a file, lets say a clip from the intenet, quicktime opens automatically this file. How can is disable this. i want my download screen back so i have an overview of the download...

    I'm not entirely sure about this but since no one else is helping you I will give it a shot, and if doesn't wok this will not harm your computer.
    1. Open WMP
    2. On the toolbar press tools and down to options
    3. Click on the tab "file types"
    4. Select all or select the ones you want
    5. Close WMP and restart the browser
    I'm not sure this will help, I'm pretty sure it will though.
    Hope it helps

  • How to disable SSLv3 and keep only TLS for LDAP connection.

    Hi,
    I'm planning to keep only TLSv1.2 for LDAP connections.
    I tried to set LDAP_OPT_SSL_INFO in LDAP Session Options using a SecPkgContext_ConnectionInfo Structure with dwProtocol SP_PROT_TLS1_2_CLIENT(as described here -  https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7544226d-97e1-4dae-a377-e382c2281e91/how-to-set-up-tls-in-ldap-connection?forum=vcgeneral),
    but it returns LDAP_PARAM_ERROR.
    I tried to call this function directly after ldap_sslinit/ldap_init and before ldap_connect() - without success, I tried to use other parameters with default values, I tried to initialize them by 0/other possible values - and also no success.
    How I can do this?
    Thanks for your advices.
