You show as running 10.6.7 - have you not updated to 10.6.8?
by the way quicktime player 10.0 (131). Not sure if that's relevant
Nor am I, but:
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.

  • Can't open *.ms11 files any more

    Hello to all.
    I have problems to open *.ms11 file since i changed the direction in "Optionen > Allgemeine Einstellungen > Pfade".
    To open multisim.exe and then to go "Datei > Öffnen..."  and open *.ms11 files works fine. But to double click on a *.ms11
    doesn't work any more. Doing like this starts the process to install multisim. I guess the multisim.exe can't be found. But why???
    Can anybody help, please?
    greetings

    Hi mikcon,
    I tried to reproduce your situation.
    If I copy my databasefolder somewhere else and change the path in Multisim, then delete the original folder and restart multisim,
    then everything works fine.
    If it still make issues, try to repair your installation and try to change the pathes from the beginning.
    Also, have a look here:

  • I can't export .oam files any more. What gives? A big bad bug? Anyone got a work around?

    I was doing great with Edge until last night...when the .oam publishing feature vanished. I'm pasting small animations into my Muse pages, so this was a great thing, in theory, anyway. Tried restarting the app, tried restarting the computer, always opened the .an doc to work on the project. Thing is, it works once in a while...like once in 20 tries. Why? What's the deal? This app just not ready for the real world yet?

    Hi, sdotkling-
    A couple of questions:
    Are you saving first?  We don't allow publish for new, unsaved files.  (It seems like you're working on an an file first)
    Do you have any errors in the warnings panel?  Look in the lower right hand corner in the Stage panel.
    If neither of these are the case, please post your entire project file on a file sharing site so that we can take a look at what you're trying to do and advise you.
    Thanks,
    -Elaine

  • Help, can't open project file any more

    I relaunched iMovie to refresh the iPhoto thumbnails and now my project can't be opened. It is not listed at all in the Project list inside iMovie. And when I try launching it from the Finder, it open iMovie but nothing happens. Not even an error message.

    I have not heard back so I am not sure if I referenced the thread correctly when i last sent the muse file. I used the url https://forums.adobe.com/message/7212679 but I see in this email below it is referred to as https://forums.adobe.com/message/7213601#7213601
    I attached it as a zip archive in my last email. I have also posted it to dropbox (unzipped) at https://www.dropbox.com/s/30vna0yqacvokvw/LKFdotcom%20v3.muse?dl=0
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can not open .sit files any more

    I get a warning that it is not a compressed file. I downloaded a new copy of Stuffit 11 and it dosen't work either. The files show as an icon of a little brown suitcase ant the suffix is .sit. If you look under get info it says that it is a stuffit archive. I have been having this problem for several months. I remember that used to work automaticly in earlyer revisions of SO 10.4.

    Hi Robert
    Start Stuffit and open the Preferences
    scroll down the list and click on the Stuffit format
    the panel on the right gives the extn (sit)
    it should be Assigned to Expander
    click on the Assign to Expander button anyway
    close prefs and try again

  • I was using adobe sendnow until now although at this time I came to Bolivia from Belgium. I can not send a file any more and can not suscribe either What can I do to keep on sending files?

    Can anybody help?? I was using the application locally for the last 7 months.

    Got everything to re-install and it worked fine...for a few hours. Then I came in to find ALL of my network users deleted. Just GONE. Then found out the Open Directory was trashed and was unable to open, recover or restore from a backup. Looks like I may have a bad drive here.
    I installed a new drive in the system, re-installed and so far (for a couple of hours anyway) the system seems to be working and stable.

  • The audio file is not recognized by Logic. Can't import audio files?

    Hi,
    The audio files are on my desktop. Logic 9.1.1 will not recognize them and gives me this message when I try to drag and drop OR Import Audio File OR use Audio Bin.
    As far as I know, I am using wave files (extension .wav). So what could be the problem. Here's a picture of how the files look on my desktop.
    The regular silver and blue iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
    The black iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
    Importantly, the black iTunes (only 2 out of the 18 audio files) are the ones that actually import. Does it have something to do with the fact that it shows under "More Info > Audio Channels 1" vs. the silver and blue iTunes .wav files (which do NOT have this)?
    Furthermore, here is the process I used to get the audio files in the first place. On my PC, I exported audio files from my Ableton Live project onto a thumbdrive. I copied the audio files from my thumbdrive to my Mac. Maybe this had something to do with it.
    Also, as you can see, under Sharing and Permissions > there is only "read and write" for all names, so it's not a permissions thing.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply.
    +Can you play them as Preview (select in Finder, hit spacebar)?+ No. The black iTunes icons play with no sound and the silver and blue iTunes icons do not even come up in Preview at all.
    +Will iTunes play them?+ Only the black iTunes files (2 out of the 18). When I click on a silver and blue icon'd file, it will not even open in iTunes.
    why on the desktop? it was just a temporary thing. I was not able to pull them into my Audio Bin. I tried what you suggested. I put the files in the Audio Files folder of my project. When I go to open them from within Logic by Import Audio File, they are visible but greyed out. I don't use the desktop except for testing stuff like you do.
    +How was the thumb drive formatted? FAT32 or other DOS-format, or Mac OS Extended (HFS)?
    +the extension is not where apps look to recognize an audio file format, it is the header data. Some audio programs can read RAW audio files, but more about that after your reply to this one.+ It is formatted MS-DOS (FAT 32).
    (*I wrote all this stuff above while I was working and waiting for the PC to write to my thumbdrive again*******finally I got everything to show up.
    I loaded the files again from the thumbdrive. This time they were all in the black iTunes format, and I put them directly in the Audio Files folder like you suggested. After some doing everything works fine. Weird.
    Thanks!

  • Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

    Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
    I downloaded a series of podcasts recently.  They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
    However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:

  • Can't drag audio files onto timeline

    I can usually drag audio files (.mp3, .mov, .aiff) right into a project and it loads into either an existing track or automatically creates a new one.
    I can't do that anymore as it loads up into an already existing track that has audio already on it and edited.
    Simply cannot import new audio, on new tracks.
    Any suggestions?
    Running Mavericks and GarageBand 10.0.2
    thanks

    Probably a matter of source patching:

  • TS1702 iBooks won't load PDF files any more on my Ipad2. Anybody seen this one before?

    Hello All,
    iBooks won't load PDF files any more.
    I have a lot of PDF files so I thought I reached a maximum number of files or space so I deleted a lot of old files but this did not help.
    I rebooted, synced, updated, restarted, etc. - everything that I can think of and I still have the same problem.
    I don't remembered the last file that I loaded into iBooks, as I usually put them into collections.
    I can still load PDF files into other applications like PDF Reader, but I prefer to have them all in iBooks.
    Anybody seen this one before?
    I have 64GB iPad2 and I have over 14GB free space.

    There have been several threads on this topic over the last few weeks. It's not clear what the issue is, and it is not universal, but tend to effect users storing large numbers of PDFs in iBooks. Possible it has some thing to dowith capacity of the app, or specific characteristics of some of the PDFs.
    You might have a look at the "More Like This" list to the left of this page.

  • Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC, administrator issue?

    Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC.
    When i try to upate Bridge, it says:
    Bridge is unable to check for updates, cause it can't connect to the internet or user is logged in as a non-administrative user.
    So then i have to log in as a administrative user to the Bridge...and update..
    Can't it be done easier???
    I must also say i have also Bridge CS6 installed on pc and there everything is working fine.
    Thx.

    1/ Adobe Bridge should be possible to open without administrator issue.
    By default it does, something seems wrong with your install
    2/the images DO appear first for 2 or 3 seconds , then it turns to a RAW file icon.
    Again indicating a wrong install, you see the embedded jpeg previews briefly but then the Raw thumbs should be build. When you see the generic Raw icon this means you don't have the correct version of the ACR plug in installed to match your camera or no converter at all.
    Try this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    3/i only succeed in openening Bridge descently , so with ableing to see RAW files , WHEN i go to c:/progamfiles/Adobe/AdobeBridhecc/Bridge.exe
    When, If i copy the exe file for opening Bridge CC and i put it on the Desktop, it DOES NOT Preview the RAW files.
    Here you have lost me. As a Mac user I'm afraid I don't know nor understand anything about .exe, I download the .dmg file for an application which then automatically opens and I just click on the install icon, provide admin password and serial number once and then start using it without bothering about install ever again
