Lion quicktime issues

I have installed OS X Lion and noticed 2 issues with Quicktime.
1) If I quit Quicktime with cmd+q, the next time I open Quicktime my previous video is loaded again together with the new opened video. Only clicking the close button will prevent the video from re-opening itself on the next Quicktime launch.
2) When switching to full screen mode with cmd+f the video is enlarged on the screen of my macbook and not the external screen the Quicktime windows was dragged in.
Both of these issues used to be different in the previous version, I do not see the logic behind these changes. Is there an option that can change these behaviour issues?

I noticed the same problem. Did you use a Terminal command back in Snow Leopard to disable the rounded corners in QuickTime X? I had done that, and returning it to the default fixed the unresposive controls. Try copying and pasting the following into Terminal (without the quotes) and pressing Return:
"defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGCinematicWindowDebugForceNoRoundedCorners 0".

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

ITunes skipping during audio while browsing the web - Quicktime issue?

iTunes 11.1.2 for Win 7 is skipping during playback of audio when I am browsing the web. Is this a Quicktime issue? I tried changing the audio output device latency but it didn't do anything different as far as skipping goes. Any suggestions?

Actually, that doesn't work either. Here's the solution that is working consistently:
Go to iTunes, and Preferences > Playback tab > Play Audio Using > Windows Audio Session instead of Direct Sound. There we go, that works!!

After I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion, QuickTime no longer auto names and auto saves, my recorded files.

Try using one of these video players. VLC usually works with most files.

Video Player – Flip4Mac
Video Player - VLC

HI,
In Message Menu > Preference > Accounts you should at least have the iMessage Account (Which is Enabled) and th Bonjour one that most likely is not.
After that if you had iChat type AIM valid Screen Names or Jabber IDs in an earlier OS then the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars should list them and have them set to be used with Messages.
There is a vague chance that you have not set these up yet (you can do it in Messages or Mail, Contacts and Calendars)
Once you have a t least one other "Account" other than th iMessage one in Messages then the Buddy List option will appear next to CMD and 1 in the Window menu list.
NEXT
If you go to the General Section of the Messages Preferences you can unlink several Buddy lists if you have them (By default they are shown as one gathered Buddy list)
I Have several Accounts logged in (AIM valid and Jabber ones)

And I separate them in to individual lists which then gives me this in the Window Menu

What happened to Mountain lion QuickTime player audio

How come the Mountain Lion QuickTime Player plays audio like having a phase swap effect?
It's not natural, and maybe this is a new bug?
All other players like iTune and QuickTime 7 and the Real Player are ok.
Why?

Embedded Quicktime Issue

I know someone else had a similar quicktime issue, but I
didn't want to hijack their thread since mine is a little
different.
My QT videos work, they are embedded on page and play fine,
the exception being they do not autostart as they should.
The QT files were exported with the fast start option
enabled. When the page loads, you can hear the video playing, but
the screens black until you click on it or press enter as notified
by the alert. I thought you could prevent this using the
autostart=true parameter.
Can someone look at this page and let me know what I am doing
wrong.
http://www.dvdflashbacks.com/v2/popups/popup_editing.html
Thanks.

Works fine for me in Win FF 2.0006 with QT browser plug-in
ver. 7.2.

ISight/Quicktime issues since upgrading to Lion

Hello,
I have tried everything but I can't seem to come up with a solution. Problems have arose ever since upgrading to Lion on my early-2008 Macbook Unibody. I have seen many users on this board saying that Lion has broken their iSight as well. Here are my issues.
iSight
- seen in System Profiler (Hooray)
- cannot be seen by any application
- does not work with any other user
Quicktime
- fails for screen recording, audio recording, and video recording ("The Operation Could Not Be Completed")
- can play movies just fine
Solutions I have tried
1. Uninstalled everything 3rd party
2. PMU reset (several times)
3. Repaired Permissions
Any other assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, (are you certain that you used
   the correct "reset" procedure?) continue with the following.
• Use Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the 10.7.2 Combo Update:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates
can sometimes correct problems like yours.

Safari 6.2 does NOT work in Mountain Lion; huge issues

Question is does anyone have any ideas about this.
Also my purpose is to WARN people NOT to upgrade to 6.2!!!
15" mid-2013 MBPr running 10.8.5. Upgraded to Safari 6.2 today and regret it mightily (this is why I rarely upgrade until FORCED). Immediately, could not open most of my Google docs or Gmail. Kept getting this dialog:
"This error has been reported to Google and we'll look into it as soon as possible. Please reload your page to continue."
But I couldn't reload--the error kept continuing. Endless loop of click Ok and it comes back. Plus, got colored spinning beach ball hangs on MANY other sites (including ironically Apple site to go to support forums). and every 3 seconds "webpages have stopped
NONE OF THIS was going on with the same tabs opened in 6.1.x or whatever it was before that. It was slow, but otherwise worked.
I tried to use Time Machine to go back to my last Safari app and of course got the message that Safari is necessary system software and could not be replace.
After trying to get through to tech support twice and getting disconnected (???) I got someone who told me it would NOT be possible in any way to downgrade to previous version of Safari.
I was further informed that "we cannot test new versions of browsers to work with all apps and be sure their functionality is not broken." I said "I would think Google, though, might be kind of a priority as one you would test." it's not like it's an OSCURE APP.
I was also told to upgrade to Mavericks so i could just use safari 7.1. I do NOT want to upgrade to Mavericks for very specific reasons (not the least of which, besides this situation which happens all too frequently, is that there are other things that are broken in Mavericks as i can see on my 13" retina Macbook, particularly with Apple Mail, which I find very annoying, and other functionalities and interface things that I find less friendly in Mavericks). I have one Mavericks machine and I want one Mountain Lion machine. Period. This should be OK.
I asked for a supervisor when the guy suggested i simply use a different browser like Firefox or Chrome. Are you KIDDING me? That's your answer?
I use Chrome and Safari each for specific work things and Firefox for all personal. THat is how I organize my stuff. I edit Google docs related to one client's work in Safari. THat is where my permissions are to access those docs.
I said that any released version Safari should work with major, hugely popular business apps and I should not have to SWITCH AWAY FROM SAFARi. If you are suggesting i NOT USE SAFARI, then it shouldn't be released. Period.
The supervisor told me that I could downgrade only by downgrading my whole system. Only way. (I later realized after I hung up--unless you can tell me otherwise--that means restoring my whole hard drive, NOT just my system,? Like FULL Time Machine restore of everything. If I could do JUST he system, I'd do it.)
He also said that it was "possible I could get Safari 6.2 working with Google docs" IF I "played around with settings and preferences in Safari."
Um. I said, prompting him, ahem…since I called in for support, perhaps you could work with me to give me some ideas of what those settings or changes might be, rather than have me "randomly play with" it?
He reluctantly did so, screen sharing with me, had me do all the things I;d already tried (restring Safari, restarting computer, etc), closing and opening those docs. He saw the error message through screen sharing. he could not explain it. We played around with opening the docs from Drive or email instead of from the bookmarked tabs.
Sometime into the call, it stopped doing it. We never knew why. So he thought we'd solved it (even though no explanation for why it had been, never identified a consistent source). He said "well, so Safari 6,2 DOES work." But after we hung up, it started doing it again. Mainly with Google (error message) but also with other sites (beach ball hangs). I will not bother calling back. I guess I either cant use Safari or need to restore my whole system to get old one back (again, I don't want to go to Mavericks on this machine).
Anyone got ideas?
What i find more concerning than the thing not working (which isn't insignificant ) is the lack of care and lack of knowledge that is now consistently apparent when I call for help, compared to how consistently awesome it used to be.
Sad.
I would appreciate any insights anyone has gleaned re this issue. And again I caution against 6.2.   My machine works great otherwise, Safari worked fien before the upgrade, and NO, i DO NOT have any anti-virus software!

Happy to. It's below.
Not everyone hijacked this thread thread btw--Danabeck for example said having EXACT same problem I am. Furthermore, the Sharepoint "fix" that worked, then stopped working is pretty weird.
and whatever is going on, it wasnt in Safari 6.1 with very same system. But sure--if something unneeded is causing problem with 6.2, I'd be delighted to dump it.

QuickTime issues?

I have two problems on my hands that seem to be related after troubleshooting for months now. These are both post-Mountain Lion Upgrade.
There seems to be some type of issue related to QuickTime. Let me try to explain.
Issue #1 - Screenium capture software - I used previous versions just fine with no problems. Now, with their new version I am unable to export. I reported the precise error to the developer and they responded that it was related to QuickTime and that I should delete anything related to Flip4Mac and Perian as they are know to cause conflicts. I did that and no luck still. Something is still causing the issue and I believe it could be related to #2
Issue #2 - Adobe Bridge - I would use this to preview animation presets and video effects just fine until the OS update. There is a "preview" pane that displays the video. I can press play and the time indicator moves and it thinks it is playing the file preview, but there is no video. And oddly, sometimes it will randomly display a frame of the video while not being played. But I cannot even replicate that.
Upon researching this months ago I came across some documentation indicating the problem is related to QuickTime.
I have....
Reinstalled all Adobe products several times
Reinstalled Screenium
Reinstalled QuickTime several times (but this is just the Player I believe)
Deleted preference files
Repaired disk permissions (there always seems to be a lot, even if I just did it??????????)
So, maybe it is QuickTime, or maybe not. I am hoping someone will be able to help me finish this troubleshooting. Thanks a bunch.

hmm, in your browser type about:plugins and see what's listed for handling .swf ?
Mine shows:

HT201066 Mountain Lion - QuickTime Player X -- What happened to the ability "to select what location (on your Mac) to save your screen recording when finished"

(It is also missing in the graphic which accompanies the text in this article:ht4024)
While the default behavior (file is saved locally in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX/Data/Library/Autosave information/Unsaved QuickTime Player Document.qtpxcomposition) seems to work fine for users with mobile home directories, users with network home directories are unable to record on Mountain Lion machines.
I believe that by changing the default save location to a local writable space, we could avoid the issue, but the option to change the default save location seems to be missing.

Final Cut + Lion + Quicktime Export = no video?

Ever since upgrading to Lion I cannot export video from quicktime. No matter what settings I use, it only produces an audio file.
Oddly this only happens with movies exported from final cut. After effects renders using the same prores codecs export normally as well as do generic qt files.
It seems that this is Isolated to Final cut.
I can still produce a small enough file for online client review using quicktime conversion or compressor in the FCP export process, but the render times are exponentially longer. Rendering from FCP and then reformatting via Quicktime export was a Crucial part of my workflow.
I've came across a few posts from people having the same issue, but have not been able to find any resolutions. I had hoped this would be resolved with apple's latest release (10.7.2) but no luck.
Any advice or workaround solutions would be welcome.

ITunes wont open - Quicktime issue

Ive tryed to reinstall itunes at least half a dozen times now and nothing will fix this issue. If i try to open itunes, the process (in task manager) starts but gets to about 38000K then nothing, never opens no matter how long i wait. Im unable to end this process either, so it just sits there taking up memory. Following the advice of someone else in another thread i tryed changing the compatability of quicktime and itunes to windows 2000 and this gave me the error message that "quicktime is required to run itunes" despite the fact that i do have it installed. Reinstalling both itunes and quicktime have no effect on the problem, does anyone have any ideas?

Hello BaconSquishy.
First thing I would do is turn compatibility mode off if you have it on for iTunes and Quicktime. As this will not really fix anything except under rare and special conditions.
Next thing I would do is Basic uninstall in the following order. And installation in the following order. If this does not work proceed to last link below for assistance.
Uninstall the following Apple Applications in the following order.
Launch Control Panel and open Add/Remove Programs or Programs and features if you have Vista.
-Apple Mobile Device Support
-Apple Software Update
-Bonjour
-Windows iPod Updater (Name might be different but look for anything with the word iPod)
-MobileME Control Panel
-Quicktime
-iTunes
*Now reboot the computer
-Download and install Quicktime Standalone. There will be 2 options. Click the Quicktime Standalone
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
-Download and install iTunes once Quicktime is installed
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
*Launch iTunes. Depending on the speed of your machine. Give it 4 min tops to load. Should not take that long. Pay close attention to fire wall alert messages as they might be looking for approval to launch the App.
