Isight locks up in quicktime when on native resolution.

I've had 2 defective isights so far. One with stuck pixels and another that has video issues with Ichat. Both isights won't record very long on native resolution in quicktime before it lockes up. I can use a camcorder and don't have any problems. Is this a common issue with Isight cameras? I thought they were suppose to be great quality?

Hello David,
Is this a common issue with Isight cameras?
Not in my experience.
I thought they were suppose to be great quality?
My iSight's quality is great, as is the quality of hundreds of iSights whose users have tested iChat audio and video connections with me. Of course, there can be occasional defects in any product. However, with proper operation and reasonable care, iSight is a great webcam for most of us.
Sorry you are having problems. If your problem iSights are still covered by the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty, you can have them serviced under the warranty terms.
If your iSights are out of warranty coverage, you can take your iSight to your Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple retail store for diagnosis. If no Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple retail store is available to you, see the iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions for info about obtaining service directly from Apple.

Buffering video downlowds via Quicktime, when using a HSDPA USB modem.

Hi,
Does any one else experience very poor streaming performance via Quicktime, when using a HSDPA USB modem. Every time, when using the Quicktime player and receiving data via a HSDPA USB modem, there seems to be minimal buffering of that data, so that the video quality is extremely pixelated and virtually unwatchable; are there settings that can be altered to correct this problem? This issue seems to be so petty, yet Apple is unable to offer a solution? That doesn't seem right?

Is this a file that Quicktime PRO is not able to open?
Yes. Your camera's native video format is MPEG-4 and appears to possibly be "muxed" with MP3 audio.
If not, is there anyway that I can convert this file to one that I can use on my Mac?
Try installing the free Flip4Mac component. Then try playing the .asf file in the QT Player.
Is it possible to upload from my camcorder via the included USB cable and convert directly through Quicktime PRO?
If your file plays using the Flip4Mac player component, you may then wish to consider purchasing full conversion codec which will allow you to export your DXG-305V files to any frame-to-frame synchronized QT compatible format in QTPro.
ADDED: Sorry about the duplication, too slow with my response.

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well,

HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

- Charge the iPod for half an hour. Then reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
- If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mod see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Best way to patch QuickTime when using iTunes?

I'm wondering if anyone else has run across this issue...
I have installed iTunes which comes of course with Quicktime. I do a clean install of iTunes each time a new version is released as simply doing a patch install seems to mess up.
However I've noticed that with Quicktime when a new version is released if I download and install just Quicktime and install it, it can sometimes lead to problems with iTunes, I reckon as iTunes is expecting to find the version it installed as part of it's package but now has different files.
Has anyone else come across this issue and if so, how do you handle quicktime updates which seem to come out more frequently than iTunes updates?

DW 8 locks up and crashes when I try to do anything

DW 8 locks up and crashes when I try to do anything to a
file. This started 2 days ago.
When I open a file, and I try to merge table rows, or change
the CSS of some text, or anything, DW 8 locks up and is "not
responding".
How do I fix this?

Might have to do with the time change.
There is a document on Adobe that goes over what you have to
do, and it's
something do with removing a file, but I don't remember
which.

Did you by this iPad new? Or used? If it was a used iPad, you'll need the Apple ID login for the original owner. If you bought it new, contact AppleCare with proof that you are the original owner and they may be able to help you.

Where is the sensor that locks the Iphone 4s when you tilt it up on a call

Where is the sensor that locks the Iphone 4s when you tilt it up on phone calls so your face does not touch it.

The proximity sensor is at the top front center above the earpiece. If you look at a White iPhone 4S or a picture of a White iPhone 4S, you can see the small dark band above the earpiece, the proximity sensor lies just beneath this port on both the black and white iPhone 4S.

I recently deleted an email account from my phone because they were going to require me to always have password lock on ect. When I deleted it some of my notes in my notes app disappeared. Is there a way to get those back? Maybe by reinstalling that email

TS3772 why all of a sudden i need to download quicktime when its already working

why all of a sudden i need to download quicktime when its already working

Since you are running Lion, you will not see Exposé & Spaces - they don't exist in Lion.
Their function, that of multiple desktop arrangements, has been replaced by Mission Control.
You may have accidentally set up Mission Control; or inadvertantly activated it. The latter is easy to do if you're using a Magic Mouse - a two-finger double-tap (not click) on the mouse will engage Mission Control.
The two-finger double-tap can be deactivated in System Preferences > Mouse > More Gestures. Uncheck the Mission Control item, and it won't respond that way to a two-finger double-tap again. You can then still access Mission Control via its icon in the Dock.
To get rid of extra desktops in Mission Control, activate Mission Control. Then hover the cursor over the desktop you'd like to remove; a circled-X will appear in one corner of that disktop - click it and that desktop will be removed. Any open program using that desktop will then be moved to another, yet-available desktop.
There is a control pane for Mission Control in System Preferences. Selecting that will allow you to make some settings re how Mission Control behaves, including the setting/clearing of a hot corner.

I lost my phone 6 weeks ago, today I got an email saying "iPhone has been locked." does this mean someone has tried to power up my device. I had put the remote lock on the phone when I lost it. Today I sent 2 messages to the phone asking to call my phone

Yes, this would seem the most likely reason to me.

MY PCMCIA-FBUS/2 CARD LOCKS THE LAPTOP UP, WHEN I INSTALL THE CARD.

I HAVE A PCMCIA-FBUS/2 CARD THAT LOCKS UP THE LAPTOP WHEN IT IS INSTALLED. WE HAVE TRIED IT ON 3 DIFFERENT LAPTOPS. ALL OF THEM HAVE THE COMMUNICATION MANAGER SOFTWARE & HAVE BEEN USING FIELDBUS. THE 1 THING DIFFERENT I HAVE FOUND IS WE ARE USING THE SERIES 2 F-BUS CARDS. DO I NEED TO LOAD A DIFFERENT SOFTWARE FOR THIS TYPE OF CARD, OR UPRADE TO A DIFFERENT TYPE?
TERRY MCCLAIN

Hello Terry,
Would you please let us know what kind of Cardbus (PCMCIA) controller is adopted in the laptop? This is the key point.
According to our test, some particular Cardbus controllers are not compatible with our PCMCIA-FBUS series 2 interface card, e.g. Ricoh R5C475II. With these controllers, inserting the PCMCIA-FBUS S2 always hangs the whole OS; the OS becomes active again when we draw the PCMCIA-FBUS S2 out of the slot.

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto, Its quicktime X, and it works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto. I have quicktime X, and it still works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Well since I do not have iPhoto 7 I can only guess what may be: As far I can remember up to iPhoto 8, iPhoto insisted on Quick Time Player 7. As I can see you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and there Quick Time X is the standard playaer. Basically Quick Time 7 is not part of Snow Leopard.
Can you please check if Quick Time 7 is installed under Applications->Utilitis (in 10.6 Quick Time 7 if presenet is installed not under Applications - there Quick Time X is - but under Application/Utilities).
If not: insert your Snow Leopard installation DVD.
Once the installer opens, double-click on the Optional Installs folder
Double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package
Click continue.
Select the option for QuickTime 7 then click Continue to start the installation.
If it is there you may try to move the iPhoto prefernce file to another folder and let iPhoto create a new one.
Please keep the old file until you are sure that iPhoto works how it should.
The iPhoto preference file can be found under your home folder then Library then Preferences and there
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
As alraedy mentioned do not delet this file, since if something goes wrong you can put it back.
