ITunes and Quicktime sound differs from other apps sound?

I have never noticed that before I upgraded my sound system — the sound in iTunes (with EQ and 'Enhancer', as well as other features regarding sound, turned off), Audacity and QuickTime feels more close to my CD player sound, than sound in apps such as SoundCloud, VK Box (from Appstore) etc. Is that because of some way the QuickTime framework works or I have misconfigured something? I don't have any DSP apps, such as, for example, 'Hear', installed.
Thanks.

Perian overwrites nothing. It does not do anyting with MPEG 1 (which is already supported) or MPEG-2, or WMV (which needs Flip4mac). The Perian website lists all the codecs it handles and advises you to remove the ones it does , DivX, 3ivX XVid being common ones that this affects. There is a quite long list of them.
The $30 for QT Pro (not player which is free and always installed in OSX) is needed to use QT Pro to edit and export so Perian or not you need that or you can stick with Streamclip (which adds no codecs at all).

  • Does Perian replace existing QuickTime codecs added from other apps?

    Know all about its advantages and capabilities, it's free, I've recommended it to others, even have the .dmg resident in my Downloads folder. Just one thing left for me to personally do...
    Install it.
    I've been holding out on that last part because I have concern as to whether Perian will overwrite existing QT codecs added from other applications.
    For example, my Toast installation may have added certain MPEG codecs to support its conversions to VCD/SVCD/DVD.
    Flip4Mac adds in WMV functionality to the QuickTime player. (this, I believe, would remain unaffected by Perian)
    I have a registered version of VisualHub installed, which may have added some DivX codecs to convert DivX AVI to and from other formats.
    Additionally, I have current installers for both DivX 6.6 and 3ivX 5.01, but as with Perian, have not installed.
    (i.e. if Perian adds the exact same capabilities into QT Player, I'm leaning toward that and saving the collective $30 for the additional encoding apps which I may or may not use)
    And, of course, MPEG Streamclip - but I'm not sure whether this adds any codecs to convert video or simply uses the existing codecs installed on one's system.
    How would Perian's installation affect the codecs currently added by these other applications?
    Furthermore, are these codec additions (generally speaking, not limited to Perian) typically a system-wide change, or limited only to the user level? (the difference in knowing which folder to pull the codecs from, in case of trouble)
    Looks around room for QT Kirk, Rick, Dave S., Baby Boomer...

  • ITunes doesn't start (different from others...)

    I upgraded to iTunes 6 (from 5.0.1) a while back. It worked fine for a while, then one day, it refused to start. Looking in Task Manager showed that it would start for about 2-3 seconds and then die. Installing a fresh copy would get as far as the license agreement, and then exhibit the same behavior after accepting it.
    This is where the story got interesting. I opened up iTunes on my other hard drive (which I had once used as my main drive and still had an installed copy of iTunes). It worked perfectly! Turns out it was version 4.7.
    So today, my sister got an iPod nano. We knew that iTunes might not work, so we uninstalled version 6 and installed the copy from the CD. Same deal. I uninstalled that and installed iTunes 5. Same deal.
    From what I've gathered from a few other threads, I can provide the following information:
    - QuickTime starts fine.
    - No Norton Internet Security 2005 installed.
    - Spyware and virus scans turn up clean.
    So I'm out of ideas. This is the strangest software problem I've ever encountered.

    As for security software, I have ewido (as suggested elsewhere on this forum) and ZoneAlarm.
    hmmmm. Katrina is better versed on ZoneAlarm/iTunes conflicts than i am. but we'd probably better check on it.
    probably best to disconnect from the internet before trying an experiment.
    reboot the PC. disable both ZoneAlarm's firewall and antivirus. Launch your Task Manager to the processes tab. now try another itunes launch.
    do you either get (a) an itunes launch, or (b) a changed behavior by itunes.exe in Task Manager when you try to launch itunes under those conditions? (longer persistence in Task Manager, for example)
    love, b

  • ITunes won't open, different from other problems

    Yeah. I don't have Norton (I do have the windwows firewall and stuff, but I already have it on the allowed list) and I've tried deleting the file. I double click on iTunes (I've even tried from the actual .exe file in the program files) and I get the hourglass, and nothing more. The processes for iPodService and iTunesHelper are running, but no iTunes. I tried using the New Tastk (run...) feature on the Task Manager, and the iTunes.exe process comes up for a few brief seconds and then goes away again. Any ideas? I've also re-installed it...
    And on a side note, since I re-installed it, will I have to redo all of my playlists? If so, man there's a headache to go on top of finals... :-/

    Whoops, wrong link.

  • Pantone different from other apps.

    Hello people, I'm designing a 1-colour flyer using Pantone 2602. The file contains a mono-tone image created in Photoshop and an eps logo generated in Corel Draw, both using 2602. Paper-coloured text is placed over a rectangle filled with 2602.
    However, when the image and logo are brought into InDesign (CS3) they appear to be quite different colours from the rectangle. Still purple, but a differet shade. I opened the eps in Illustrator and re-saved it as an .ai file, placing that in the ID, and same problem, making me think there is a setting in ID that needs to be tweaked.
    I've tried to find the setting in Bridge to synchronise settings across all Adobe products but the help file tells me to set this through Edit/Prefs/Advanced but there is no option to select colour synchronisation.
    To be honest, I'm not too concerned if the colours look dfferent, as it all looks fine in Acrobat, but if there was a way to get the colour synchronised within all Adobe products that would be helpful.
    Thanks in advance for advice,
    Jo

    Embedded profiles that differ from your ID working space, can result in different appearances on screen for the same color when you import. Turn on Overprint Preview in the View Menu and the appearance should match if that's the cause.
    Another possible reason for this could be different names (and different definitions) for the same color. For example, InDesign would consider Pantone 2602, Pantone 2602 C, Pantone 2602 CV, Pantone 2602 CVC, Pantone 2602 CVU and Pantone 2602 U to be different colors even though they refer to the same ink, and would generate a separate plate for each. Do you see more than one named swatch for the color?
    You can use the Ink Manager (accessible from the Swatches Panel menu) to alias all the variants (or any other color) to a single definition of your spot color. Use the Separations Preview Panel to verify that all areas  will be on the same plate.
    But I wonder why you are going to so much trouble for a one-color job unless you need to show the client a color-simulated proof. Setting up using grayscale graphics is much less complicated, and you can output in any color you tell the printer to use.

  • ITunes and Quicktime conspire against me!!

    I can't get itunes to work at all and now quicktime's stopped functioning! I get the usual "Sorry for the inconvenience but itunes has encounted a problem and needs to close" every time I try and start it. I've installed quicktime from the main apple download and it installs fine but won't actually work! I've tried uninstalling quicktime but I get the message ' fatal error during installation' and it quits the uninstall. I've uninstalled itunes and after reinstalling it get the same 'sorry for the inconvenience' message again. Need assistance from an itunes expert please. Thanks.

    The procedure entry point QTCF_CFUniCharGetUnicodePropertyDataForPlane could not be located in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll
    The most common cause of that one is a misplaced older version of the QTCF.dll lurking about in your system. On an x64 system, the best place to start looking is in the C:\Windows\sysWOW64\ directory.
    Do you see a QTCF.dll lurking in there? If so, try dragging it out onto the desktop. Can you launch iTunes and QuickTime now?

  • Installing iTunes and QuickTime on an HP laptop running Windows 7.

    I get error 2738 when:
              installing todays downloads or when
              uninstalling a preinstalled 2009 version of QuickTime.
    I have seen and successfully applied the solution offerred at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1331.
    Twice.
    Restarted the computer and applied that solution again, and again with the message indicating success.
    And each time get the error 2738 message.

    I also looked through the earlier messages and saw something about
    a logon as a simple user.
    Did this and then noticed the uninstaller in QuickTime folder.
    Used this and QuickTime uninstalled without error (2738 or anything else).
    Continued to be logged on as this simple user.
    Ran the iTunes installer (answering yes to security questions).
    Installed both iTunes and QuickTime without error.

  • HT1926 I received an ITunes and Quicktime update notice on my Windows 7 PC, from Apple this morning. During the update installation, RealPlayer installed. What gives? Why is Realplayer installing with the Apple software.

    I received an ITunes and Quicktime update notice on my Windows 7 PC, from Apple this morning. During the update installation, RealPlayer installed. What gives? Why is Realplayer installing with the Apple software.

    Thanks for the reply. I went back to check if there was a history in windows (Event Viewer) but could not locate it in Win7. The only updates that were in the Apple Updater window were the Quicktime and ITunes. Had I let the Realplayer continue on its own, it would have installed the Google Chrome and other apps. I let it finish installing and then removed the entire program. I do not remember checking or seeing anything saying that realplayer was being downloaded until after a reboot was requested from the ITunes Update Installer.
    I just thought it was strange since I do not use Realplayer and have not downloaded any software for it.
    I am on a corporate PC with a pretty thick firewall, but something may have slipped through.
    Thanks again for the assistance.

  • App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), syc does not help; itunes store says it is installed and I cannot reinstall; deleting from itunes and synching does not remove "hung app"; HELP

    App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection and the app hung; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), synching does not help; itunes app store says it is installed, therefore I cannot reinstall; deleting the app from itunes and synching does not reinstall the app on the ipod; the app developers have not helped and told me to check with Apple (which I am doing, since I am past my 90 day tech support). Hoping someone can help with this hung "waiting' app problem.

    - First try resetting 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.
    - Next download the app on the computer and try to sync.
    - Last, restore from backup.

    Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

  • ITunes window behaves different from others?

    I've always been wondering why the iTunes window behaves much differently than other windows. Taking Firefox for example, when I maximize it to the screen, I can't shift it left/right/up/down, so I can't accidentally move it. iTunes, however, doesn't have the same maximize options, changing from the 'big' mode to the 'mini' player. And when it's in the big mode, I constantly have to re-stretch and proportion it to my screen, and it frequently drops below the dock and outside the screen. Is there any way to get this changed or fixed? Thanks!
