Launching Quicktime always opens multiple files

After upgrading to Lion, Quicktime always re-opens all of the movies I've opened in previous sessions.  For instance, if Quicktime has already opened 15 movies, it will re-open those 15 plus the new one.  The only way I've found to open a single file when launching QT is to  manually close each file I've opened and clear the 'Open Recent' list before quitting the porevious QT session.  If the 'Open Recent' list is empty upon launch, it doesn't open the previous movies. It is happening with every file type, including WMV via flip4mac.  And it's happening on all three of my Macs !!!  I did uninstall flip4mac and SliverLight but QT still behaves this way.  Seems to be a problem with QT itself.  QT isnlt having problems playing the files, though.  It's working fine in that regard, including playing WMV files via flip4mac (which I reinstalled).  VLC and other media players still open files at they should.  I'm quite surprised to not see any discussion on this anywhere so maybe it's a problem unique to my Macs.  Anyone have any ideas?  What am I missing here?  Thanks, folks.

Is there some way to prevent this stupid prctise?
There may or may not be. If there is, I have yet to find it. (I'm still in the "familiarization" stage.) If there isn't, it would make a good enhancement request, especially if it could be turned off/on by application.
I often open several files, then quit the app rather than closing each individual file. This is counter-productive.
I tend to close players after use, so this doesn't really bother me. (On the other hand, I make a lot "what if" saves and am not really fornd of the idea of a new "auto-save" feature confusing me between my project saves and its saves.)
Oh, well... To each his (or her) own.

  • Why does InDesign always open multiple files in reverse number order?

    Whenever I select multiple InDesign files to open, despite being named accordingly Page_01, Page_02, Page_03, etc. InDesign always opens them in reverse order tabs. If I open 10 spreads at once instead of staring at page 1 I'm looking at the back.
    Is there any way to fix this? It's driving me mad. I cannot think of why it would be doing this.

    Create a book (File -> New -> Book...) and add your files to it. Rearrange the files to the order you want. Then select the needed files and double-click to open them. The tabs will be populated respecting the order the files appear in the book.
    Important: BEFORE adding the files to the newly-created book, go to the book panel menu, choose "Book Page Numbering Options..." and deactivate "Automatically Update Page & Section Numbers", to avoid unwanted renumbering of your pages.

  • QuickTime cannot open the file: "trampoline.mov"

    I just got a new 2.1 GHz Power PC G5 iMac with 2.5 GB RAM, 500 GB HD running Tiger 10.4.5. I used migration assistant to transfer over all my apps. etc. from my PowerBook. I tried to open Quicktime (version 7.0.1) and I got this error "QuickTime cannot open the file: "trampoline.mov". I have no idea what this means or what it is referring to. I have no knowledge of the file "trampoline.mov". I am also getting "Can not build a preview because of a problem w/Quicktime" when I try to save a document in Photoshop CS2. It appears to save the document, and the error disappears. Once, however, I left the error message up on the screen for a few minutes, and I got a "generating preview" message that appeared underneath the error. It got stuck roughly in the middle of generating the preview, and I had to force quit the application. I would appreciate any help or advice on fixing this problem. Thank you, Regina

    Upgrade QuickTime to version 7.0.4 and your troubles may disappear.
    The trampoline.mov file is part of the QuickTime Player app and is used to "bounce" you to the Internet. Remove the check mark to "Show Content Guide" when QuickTime Player is launched (Player preferences).
    I don't know why you're getting a QT error when using Photoshop. Check the Adobe Site for updates.
    I suspect some settings got mucked up during the migration from your Powerbook.

  • Missing photos when opening multiple files into Photoshop from LR3.2

    When I try to open multiple files (8+ maybe) from Lightroom 3.2 to edit in Photoshop CS5, almost always one or two photos does not open. This means I have to manually find out which photos are missing, and then reopen them.
    Can anyone help me with this problem??

    I have opened as many as 50 from external hard drive with LR 3.2 and Windows XP with no problem.
    It takes a long time to bring in this many if they are 100MB tiffs.  I had to go have coffee and come back later.
    Are you sure you waited until it was finished?

  • Preview and Texteditor open multiple files

    Preview and Texteditor often open multiple files when I only clicked a single file. It seems to open one or more previously opened files at the same time. Is this a bug, or can I disable this behaviour somewhere?

    "Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps" worked for me. However, it will not work for any apps currently open when you change the preference. Once you quit ans recopen the app, it should work. At least mine did!

  • How can I open multiple files as Photoshop Raw files at the same time for Photoshop CS6 extended on a PC?

    I am trying to open 20-25 files at the same time as Photoshop Raw [*.RAW] files.
    The only way I can open multiple files is if i leave the file type as All Formats. When I change it to  Photoshop Raw [*.RAW], the files a deselected.

    Use bridge. Select all the files then press ctrl-r or cmd-r to load the selected files into camera raw.
    If you try this in Photoshop use File>Open As then for file type choose camera raw. (I have not tested open as for opening multiple files)

  • Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

    We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
    Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
    IA32
    ADBC
    eBook
    EScript
    HLS
    PPKLite
    SaveAsRTS
    However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
    Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
    I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
    It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
    Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

    I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
    What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
    Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
    Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

  • How to open multiple files in Labview?

    I want to open multiple files in labview by selecting multiple files,then read them? Can I do this in Labview 7.0?

    You can use the vi example here to get multiple names:

    Once you have the file names, you can use a for loop w/ a Read/Open file vi to open all the files.

  • Open Multiple files in One go......

    Hi all,
    I need to open multiple file jpg files present at a particular location in one go. I am developing the application in ADF and i used the following code in for loop
    response[i] = (HttpServletResponse) fctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    // file should be downloaded without display
    response.setContentType("application/x-download");
    response[i].setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename=\"document "+listFiles[i].substring(0,(listFiles[i].length()-4))+".bmp\"");
    but it opens only one file(the last one of the for loop). Finally i evn tried Runtime.getruntime again in a for loop, still it didnt work.
    I got an option from somewhere sugggesting to use firebox viewer. I browsed for the software, but found thatfirebox can open multiple url's in one go and did'nt get any relevant help regarding firebox viewer.

    How to integrate this firebox viewer with ADF???
    Any help???
    Regards,
    Amitt

    No, I have idea about FifreFox Brower, its about FireFox viewer, may be a plug in or component of Browser(Even I am not sure whether there is any component like viewer or not???),
    But the key is that ki i want to open a multiple jpg files in one go. Whether using FireFox Viewer or something else it does'nt matter.
    Any suggestion????

  • Acrobat Standard 9.0 automatically opens multiple files on startup

    This problem was originally posted as "Acrobat Standard 9.1.2 update problem?"
    In Vista Ultimate, I installed the Acrobat Standard 9.1.2 update, and afterward, my terminal began automatically opening multiple PDF files whenever Acrobat was started.  At one point, I let it run for several minutes, and got up to 33 opened files before I forced the program to shut down.
    Although this problem was resolved by a program removal and reinstallation (restore previous version didn't work), it came back again, after I had worked on several PDF files since the reinstall.  Apparently, Acrobat feels compelled to open all of the PDF files I have worked on since the reinstallation, whenever it starts up.  In addition, it opens copies of all of these files when I open a Website PDF file. So I have two copies of the same filename open at the same time (usually impossible in Windows).  Since I removed v9.1.2 and reinstalled v9.0, the problem might not be connected to the 9.1.2 update I installed before it began; however, the 9.1.2 update might have made changes to the registry that the uninstall didn't correct.
    HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED AUTOMATIC MULTIPLE FILE OPENINGS IN ACROBAT STANDARD 9.0 OR 9.1.2, AND IF SO, WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT IT?  I'm desperate enough to seek technical advice from a random group of strangers.

    I was having this problem on a Vista Ultimate machine after upgrading to Acrobat Pro 9.2, and solved it in the following way.
    1.  Exit Acrobat, open the task manager and be sure the acrobat.exe task is no longer running.
    2.  Open the directory C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0
    3.  Locate the file named Organizer90 and drag it to the desktop
    4.  Open Acrobat from the Start menu
    Problem should be solved!  If not, exit Acrobat and drag the original Organizer90 file back to the original directory (replacing the newly created file).  I have no idea what the Organizer90 file does, so I don't know if you may be losing anything important using this method, but it did work for me in solving the "opening multiple files" problem.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

    Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

    Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
    It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died.  Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again.  Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes.  I send the error report every time.

  • Unable to open multiple files of different types simultaneously

    It seems  the MS has made some changes in Win7, and I am no longer able to open multiple files of different types (.doc, .pdf) in Explorer by highlighting the desired files and hitting Enter.  It still works if I select only one file type, but
    the ability to open multiple files of different types has been in place since Win95, and maybe since Win3.11 (my memory is a little foggy that far back).

    Hi,
    Yes, this feature was removed from Windows 7. Now you just can open multiple files which are the same type at once.

  • Want to always open torrent files with my torrent client but I do not see .torrent as a file association in Firefox

  • Opening multiple files in OS X

    Hi there,
    Sorry if this is a noob question but I couldn't find the answer online!
    Do anyone happen to know if there is a keyboard shortcut to open multiple files in Dreamweaver on OS X... I click on each with Command held to select multiple files, and I know you can double click on one to open them all...
    In the Windows version I used to just press Enter to open them and I prefer that, so if there's an OS X equivalent that would be awesome!
    Thanks,
    Neil

    No joy I'm afraid... nothing happens with that either...
    It would be cool to have a keyboard shortcut as I'm so used to renaming a file then hitting enter to open it!
    One of those minor little irritations I guess!
    Thanks

  • Opening multiple files as layers in PS CS4?

    Hi, folks--
    As the subject states, is it possible to open multiple files (specifically, RAW files, but really any format, too) as multiple layers in a single document in PS CS4?  I know Lightroom has a feature like this, but I don't use LR and would love to find a way to do this in PS, alone.
    Thanks!

    You can use File->Scripts->Load Files into Stack for that.
